Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Saving up for Indonesia and Japan next year.
Spreading the word, spreading the love.
ABOUT ME
Rather talkative.
Interested.
Straight-forward ; Open and direct communication is essential to me.
Life for me is all about sensory exploration and pleasure ; one could say I am a hedonist, but with high ethical standards.
I just love the absurdity of life !
PHILOSOPHY
To me it is more important to know why someone does something, rather than to judge anyone on their actions per se.

Music, Movies, and Books
Films being made from the heart and not because of the advertisements.
Huge weakness for Lost in translation, Reservoir dogs and Mr. Nobody.
Everything by Ulrich Seidl is just great.
WATCH 'EARTHLINGS' ! WATCH IT !
Nick cave is superb, Leonard Cohen has been a well-established love of mine, as is Radiohead, even though I don't seem to listen to them any longer. The Belgian band dEUS has been delivering quality stuff for the past 20 years. I really love deep house/minimal, Arcade fire (funeral is a masterpiece), not a week goes by without A tribe called quest. I like old school jazz, instrumental melancholic music, 60's&70's funk & soul, German gothic and dark wave...
Let's say I have a rather eclectic taste, and at home music is around, always. Outdoors I prefer communicating with my surroundings.
Haruki murakami, Herman Hesse, Michel Onfray, Ian Mcewan, jonathan safran foer, paul auster, Jennifer Egan, Jonathan Franzen,... love to read.
..to name just a few.
