About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Kick Murphy's Ass! Who's next? Fear? Bring it on.

ABOUT ME

"Are you an idiot?" "No Sir, I'm a dreamer..."

'All of me' I don't even know myself. But as far as I know I am a few things:

Love. Chaos, Strategy and Perfectionism, humor and bad taste, Sun and rain, red wine and beer, basketball and sleep, music and real music, knowitall and knownothing, wise and naive, good friend and bad man, writer and reader...but mostly, Im not or, I am and. And thats my curse and my blessing.

When you say "DONT do that, its embarrassing!" I will say: "I never in my life would even consider doing it, but just because you SAID that, I'll DO it!"

Masses of people doing the same scare me.

I only fear fear. (and irony)

expectation is spontaneity's enemy. expect nothing of a moment and you will be blown away.

PHILOSOPHY

When I die, I just want to have No regrets. Including mistakes and the shit that unevidably happens on the way. Every shitty thing leads you to another good thing. The ups and downs in life are predictable. how arrogant of me to say that, sorry life, I take it back.

Enjoy. Discover. Help. Smile. Live now. The future started yesterday. Cherish the moments. Be spontaneous. life's oh so short.

paths develop because you walk them.

take what you need. and give what you have.

you can be who ever you want to be. but
you are what you do, not what you say.
you are what you are, not what you say you are.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I started in the States in 2009. Then continued in Paris, Innsbruck, Munich and other places. Then I kind of stopped. After all, Couchsurfing and I were together for quite a long time.

Please don't copy n'paste me, I never did that either.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CS makes me believe in humanity, and its one of the best ways to travel. to learn, to live.

Interests

Traveling. Meeting new people. good people. sunrises. sunsets. making fire. standing in the sea. making music. the smile of a stranger. the smile of a friend. an honest smile. rituals. women who like to be women. writing. reading. basketball. winning. losing for the lesson. saying "wow". experiencing new. getting to know myself. eating when hungry. drinking when thursty. sleeping when tired. but not too much.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies:
"Garden State" for melancholy. "Love Actually" for living dreams. "Gladiator" for strength and integrity.

Dub, Funk, Indie, Electronics, RnR, Piano, Singer & Songwriter, old school hip hop, Beethoven, acappella, acoustic, country since Michigan, blues not just since Chicago, Jazz since it's so smooth.

the best of everything. only sometimes I need really bad stuff and then I fall in love with some cheesy-trashy-chart-singer-girly-girl.

Books:
"Dorian Gray" for Oscar Wilde. "Monsieur Ibrahim" for Beauty and Easy Happiness. "Krishnamurti" for Wisdom.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

when I open my eyes in the morning and see the sun falling through a window onto the wooden floor, I forget about all those amazing things for a second.

Teach, Learn, Share

too less to teach. too much to learn. everything to share.

I'm a Basketball-Coach, a pretty solid pianist, sometimes I can teach to smile.

learned a lot from: people. family. friends. traveling. music. books. poets. artists. wind,water,fire,earth. doing. mistakes. losing. fate.
