About Me

I just live to "create, explore, expand, c̶o̶n̶q̶u̶e̶r̶(not interested anymore)". I could be a regular person if I lived in the 18th century but here I am quite literally a nobody,
Nemo?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Getting to reach out "useful" people around was easier before social media shit and its maniacs. I'm not seeing "useful" people around. They're aimlessly in pursuit of just taking, not considering to give back anything.

Oh, do you wonder what I'm looking to take from you?
A short chill chat, a chess game, a piece of music that I've not heard.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
- I love classical music, mostly piano sonatas. Franz Lizst is my best. I love Erik Satie too, not just because I can play some Gnossienne, Gymnopedie.
- I've just bought and started to learn piano several months ago at the age of 24. "It's not too late, we have the rest of our lives"
- I extremely love classical rock especially the 70's.
- I guess this is not the place I should write every music genre :)

Books:
- Martin Eden, Jack London. It really was a great experience for me to taste my routine life feelings from someone else’s eye. London wrote that stunning story hundreds of years ago but I still can find exact problems in the modern people. For me, I’m quite like a poor Eden... I’m an idealist and even worse an extreme perfectionist person as same as Martin. At the each page, London gently showed me why I should think twice when I’m acting only through with my logic. I’m probably matching my life/thoughts with Eden’s story much more than a regular reader, so I already sense that you’re sayin —“what the hell this young boy talking about that the book wasn’t like that, you’re completely right. This is what I learn from this book, and you will probably learn something completely different. I’d like to strengthen the point I mentioned before, “But eyes are blind, you have to look with your heart”. I’m still too naive at living. I often make mistakes but trying to use them as a lecturer every time. Sometimes the most logical act is not the correct one, and vice versa for the most emotional one. That’s the thing what separates us from being a machine, I guess. I should leave idealism, and perfectionism too.
