CURRENT MISSION

See the US, travel, learn more about myself

PHILOSOPHY

I try to see details, I'm interested in the stories of things and places that are easily overlooked.
There is this statment about writing fiction by Flannery O'Connor, that I think applies to a lot more areas of life: "Two plus two should always make more than four.", so I keep wondering and asking about things until they are more than four. So I think a lot about weird stuff and learn a lot of things.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: I like Jeff Noon, Matt Ruff, Aimee Bender, short stories in general, graphic novels (like Chris Ware or Seth), Walter Moers, basically I read everything except generic romantic novels

Music: a lot, bits and pieces from all kinds of genres, I prefer a somewhat meaningful songtext, unknown artists as well as well known ones...
