About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I like to be passionate about life. That is, I get kinda frustrated when I am not experiencing the world, as I see it. I have a big fetish for travelling. Need to travel. Need to keep moving, y'know?

I love philosophy and having conversations and discussions with people about anything deeper than normal. Anything below the surface abit. Also getting trolleyed.

PHILOSOPHY

This is the real thing, all there is and ever will be, right now.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Post-Rock, except Explosions in the Sky, who i don't like. I like alot of Rock, alot of Classical, alot of electronic, alot of just weird stuff.

My favourite film list is something as follows:

There Will Be Blood
Lost Highway
The Big Lebowski
Fargo
The Fountain
Pi
Requiem for a Dream
Blue Velvet
Martyrs
Funny Games U.S.
The Lion King
Barton Fink
Princess Mononoke
Mulholland Drive
INLAND EMPIRE

I also like some TV shows: The Wire, Generation Kill, and yes, Lost.

I read far too much Philosophy and not enough Fiction nowadays.

Love Sartre, Dostoyevsky, Camus, Bulgakov, Shakespeare, and Danielewski. They're my favourite writers of fiction, I think.

If you at all care about philosophy, I love Camus, Sartre, Hume, Searle, and recently Nagel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Shared a moment of human connection

Teach, Learn, Share

I study philosophy, If you have any questions about the nature of reality or the meaning of life I can probably get that for you. I love to listen to and share music, I love to talk, about things which shape people's lives.. I get passionate very easily, about everything. But never angry or stressed.

Although I lack specific skills like cooking for you or whatever, I think if you engage me in conversation it can be rewarding.

Although all that said I can make some pretty fucking good sandwiches.

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Slovakia, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
