ABOUT ME

I have worked as journalist for almost 10 years so you can bet my social skills are not so bad at all. I am easy to talk to, I like to listen to people and always have tons of questions almost on everything but mostly I am interested in people's personalities - I frequently find myself wondering what could have been those events in the past that has made him or her to be the way he or she is. I prefer to listen however I do have quite a lot to share myself. I enjoy good humor - black humor especially. I love parties, different kinds of games - well, you could say that I love almost any form of socializing. I do enjoy reasonable amounts of alcoholic drinks and from time to time I have a cigarette or two if there is a party and company.
I easily adapt to circumstances - so it is not a problem to keep socializing and partying in low levels if needed.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that people are born with natural disposition to be good however the circumstances they have to live in put some strain on this general urge and by the time we really can do good things that matter a lot of us have already lost the belief and motivation to really care for something more than simple personal needs. The challenge is to return to these roots and build this world a better place. Even if it is just a small, small space around you which covers only the closest people to you, it is still something bigger than yourself.
