CURRENT MISSION

Just a lazy cat in a dog-eat-dog world

ABOUT ME

Hey peeps, I'm a 30-year old guy from Helsinki, Finland. I joined in hopes of finding new acquaintances from all around the world. I'm easy going and relaxed and though my work has taught me to get along with just about anyone, I enjoy the company of people who are open minded and have a good sense of humor. I'm also gay, but I think that's the least defining feature in my life.

PHILOSOPHY

I think people spend too much time these days to achieve this pre-made idea of love, happiness and contentment. You can't really control life and it just tosses you around, so the only thing you can do, is just to take it as it comes and find what you're looking for in the situations that life puts you in. In my line of work I've seen loss and failure, but also hope, change and the birth of new, wonderful things.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to drink like a Finn, party like a Finn, swear like a Finn, fight like a Finn and then patch yourself up, after you start recovering from the unknown drunken injuries from last night - like a Finn.
