About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To take my place in the great circle of...stuff!

ABOUT ME

I am weird, and a believer in the subjectivity of art and beauty as long as it is purely an expressive statement and not for another purpose (money and fame for example).
I tend to be extremely Random and sarcastic at times, then all of a sudden I am your old cuddly grand ma.
A weird combination of a bitter cynic and a happy hippie.
I believe I have some super powers, the least of them is how I can see inside most people's souls, and if you do not believe me, you should diffidently go fuck a goat and NOT enjoy it.
I am always up for anything new, becoming a bit of an adrenaline junkie. Because ever since I was forced to take a well respected desk job that is shrinking my balls as time goes by, I feel the thrill fading.
I love travel like all people here supposedly do, but I recently decided to get serious about it. I will celebrate my 40th birthday in Halstatt, Austria because it will be the day I have been to each single destination in mind, and I'll never be a whole soul if I never make it to the burning man. Now to finish it off with a very inspiring quote by one of our age's wisest people:
"I have been called bad before. Many have said I do things that are not correct to do. I don't believe in talk such as this. I am nice man, with happy feelings. All of the time. First, a joke. What do you get when you cross an owl with a bungee cord?
My ass. Nyah, haha, haha, haha, ENOUGH."

PHILOSOPHY

I am a huge admirer of the Philosophy of Diogenes of Sinope. One of the major contributes to the Greek cynic school of Philosophy, who actually once out-cunned Plato!
Anyway, He is also the guy who Alexander The Great came up to once and offered to grant him any request.
Diogenes answer was "move over, you are blocking my sun"
He is also famous for Jerking himself off in the market place, and telling bystanders: 'Would to Heaven that by rubbing my stomach in the same fashion, I could satisfy my hunger.'So in a way, that is how I want to live my life!
Also I believe that a combination of individualism and Social Anarchy can be the right path to Utopia (if there is a path).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing things I have been through, is spending a day at Ruigoord near Amsterdam. One hell of a place, and the people there are beautiful, free spirited and absolutely wasted.
Other thing is: I created a character in my most beloved dreamy short story, and actually met her in real life. Her name is She.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can't possibly give an answer there. I want to learn everything life or you guys have to offer.
As for teaching, I'll have to think about it, but if there is anything I can possibly teach, I gladly will.
