About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore Beijing, learn Chinese and about China

ABOUT ME

My awkward quietness solely interrupts by outbursts of singing nonsense. A month of utmost discipline is followed by two of the opposite. I discovered this pattern and named it "The Alrik-Cycle". This didn't bring me any fame.

In the subsequent there are some biographical notes concerning my person:

I was born in Berlin of 1988, just one year before they did nock down the wall. What a symbolic act of freedom! During my teenage-time I used this freedom to isolate myself in cyberspace, which worked well for a while.
Growing older I realized though, that machines can't satisfy my needs anymore and that it was time to hit the real world. I then decided to go traveling for a while, which turned out to be traveling for some years.
What a great time!

Back home, I sit on a chair one day. The chair was located next to a table. I said to myself: "What to do with all my wisdom?" This act made me realize, that I was ment to study philosophy.
And so I did.

What a great subject! Studying philosophy is a self-aid program. It helps people to realize the limitedness of their own intellectual capacity.
And so did I.

I wanna go on with some hard facts:

I like people.
I am vegetarian.
I like music and creative stuff.
I am sometimes grumpy.
I try not to use fake-smiles.
I am interested in almost everything.
I like to aimlessly do weird stuff.

So if you also can identify with some statements from the above list, let's meet and enjoy our similarity. In the opposite case, let's meet and enjoy our dissimilarity.

I need to find one
