About Me

CURRENT MISSION

You can never know too much People. Anyone you meet will prepare you for the next one.

ABOUT ME

People say, I'm a bit Crazy.
which I always take as a compliment, because
being different is a true sign of individuality.
But I'm nice crazy, not massmurder crazy :-)
The Axe is really for cutting Wood only.

Manche finden mich ein bischen verrückt.
Aber das nehme ich als Kompliment, normale Menschen
sind langweilig, spießig und sehr berechenbar.
Die Axt ist wirklich nur zum Holz hacken :-)

My best Idea of Holidays in short is, I want to experience something new. Anything, what normal life has'nt to offer. It doesen't have to be at Worlds end,
although this is particular delightful.
No, it also can be in my own Country,
or even in my Hometown.

Meine Idealvorstellung von Urlaub ist kurzgefasst,
ich möchte etwas neues entdecken. Irgendetwas
was der Alltag nicht zu bieten vermag. Das muss nicht
am anderen ende der Welt sein, auch wenn das besonders
reizvoll ist. Nein, daß findet man auch im eigenen
Land, sogar manchmal in der eigenen Stadt.

I very like to view old Towns or Villages, or Castles!
Even Nature is somtimes appealing, Rocks and Canyons for example.

Beeing for weeks in a boring Hotel is like Hell,
even if the Sun is always shining.

I like a cold Beer in the evening, but I also can live without Alcohol. I don't smoke, and I never have, but I
can get along with smokers of any Kind.

PHILOSOPHY

Hope for the best, be prepared for the Worst!

There are no bad people, just incompatible ones.

Every guy you meet prepares you for the next one.

A stranger is just a friend you haven't met yet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I'm hosting, I always take the time for
showing you around in the City with my Car,
so you can see what places are worth exploring.

When I'm surfing I mostly don't have a fix plan.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I like everything except german Hitparade or Techno/House/Acid/Dancefloor, or whatever this shit is called.
I tried to learn the Guitar, but after the exaltation of something new was gone I'm a bit low on motivation to continue. Today I can play some chords, maybe I'll start again someday. I really like to Sing.

Just to list a view Names of what I like:
Queen, Luciano Pavarotti, AC/DC, Garth Brooks, Dixie Chicks, Bon Jovi, Nirvana, Annett Louisanne, Evanescence, Dire Straits, Bruce Springsteen, Kelis, Britney Spears, Lenny Kravitz, Prince, Bad Religion, Loreena McKennit, Blackmores Night, Enya, Aerosmith, Joana Zimmer, Megadeth, Michael Bublé, Dean Martin, Norah Jones, Paddy goes to Holyhead, Roxette, Shakira, The Mamas and the Papas, ZZ-Top, Eric Clapton, Warlock, Apocalyptica, Metallica, Celine Dion, System of a Down, Within Temptation...

... and so many many more.
Besides that, I'm easy to inspire for Country, Classical, Heavy-Metal, Rock, A Capella, Gospel, Celtic, Folk and everything I just forgot.
With Music I especially enjoy a powerful and expressive Voice, or a Melody thats going right into my Heart.

Movies: How much space do I got here ?
All right, I'm a man, so I like Action, of course!
But also Music, Horror, Comedy, Romance, Fantasy, Documentation... and a lot more. To name just a few: Das Parfüm, Blues Brothers, Eve and the last Gentleman, Evil Dance 1,2,3, Legend, Last Samurai, Sicko, Bowling for Columbine, Boondock Saints, Star Wars 1-6, Star Trek, Eragon, Dragonheart, Indiana Jones, The Mummy, Tiger and Dragon, Fearless, Shakespeare in Love, Thank you for Smoking, Blues Brothers, Life of Brian, Highlander, Idiocracy...
and so on.. I think I could write on for Hours.

Books I have read:
Das Jesus Video, Billion Dollar, Timeline, The Green Mile, Harry Potter 1-7 in English.. and a lot of Books by Steven King I already forgot.
Since I have a better Job, there's too less Time for reading.
