ABOUT ME

I'm a typical renaissance man with strong postmodern overtones and a lot of memories. In general, I'm alright - just ask around;)

PHILOSOPHY

Stand by your friends, stand up to your enemies, and try to make the world a slightly better place.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Well, let me think.. I survived a nuclear blast at the age of 8 and a couple of serious parties at later stages of my life, saw an empire go down, got a cat off the lamp post and a few more less significant things.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I consider myself a keen conversationist and love to discuss a wide variety of subjects and I'm likely to expose you to a barrage of questions about the intricacies of your country and culture.
