About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See & experience the world, become wiser and get a hell of a fridge magnet collection while doing it :D..oh and reclaim Monday mornings as well..

PHILOSOPHY

We shall not cease from exploration. And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.

Music, Movies, and Books

ok lets see...
music:
80's: Rock bands (U2, depeche mode, echo & the bunnymen, REM, David Bowie...)
90's: brit pop mostly (PULP, James, isnpsiral carpets, Moby, placebo, sultans of ping, soup dragons...)
after that: everything that sounds nice in my ears from dance music @ some point (oakenfold, Digweed, tiesto..) to more chill out sounds nowdays. Still it's the 90's and indy music that had the greatest influence over me. I can listen 2 any kind of music though (except greek pop music!!!)

movies: i 've watched thousands of movies from the best 2 the worst. I like watching movies that have something 2 say, but i'll watch brainless action movies just 2 have a good time as well. Some titles (just 4 the income from amazon :-) ) All Tim burton's movies, La haine, clerks, hero, crouching tiger hidden dragon and so many more..

anime: love all japanesse anime (except the devilish demons rapping highschool girls ones :-D) especially Hayao Miyazaki's films (mononoke, spirited away, howl's movin castle)

Books: I love reading a good book but can't do it unless i have peace of mind and time, 2 things missing from my life the last years... so 4 the amazon once more i'd have 2 say tolkien's silmarillion and the hillarius Douglas Adams'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and last chance 2 see.

Comix: Big sucker 4 comix also

TV shows: the only 2 good shows i've seen the last 10 years maybe would b sponge bob and samurai jack, both animated. (don't really like TV)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm good with all techy stuff (PCs, internet connections, networks, emule) and can help u out if u have a prob.
I also have a basic knowledge of guitar and snowboarding which i'll b glad 2 share, but don't expect pro level :-D
