CURRENT MISSION

Two roads diverged in yellow wood, and pondering one, I took the other. And that made all the difference.

ABOUT ME

Yo! I'm a phlegmatic guy with a somewhat extrovert disposition, sometimes verging on exhibitionism, which I try to channel into some sort of creative output (I am currently writing a play called The Widow, about which you can ask me only if you have a lot of time and patience at hand).

I much agree with Groucho Marx' famous joke (as retold by Woody Allen): 'I wouldn’t want to belong to any club that would have me as a member,' the only exception to the rule with me is feminism.

I watch a lot of TV (I really am a child brought up on TV), but in the last years I try separating the wheat from the chaff. I'm also a cinephile and particularly enjoy films starring strong, big, wounded, even camp female characters (Sandra Bernhard's performance film 'Without You I'm Nothing' and Maysles brothers' documentary 'Grey Gardens' are at the base of my personal religion).

Musically I go through obsessions and currently I divide my two ears between Blossom Dearie and Yugoslavian '80s synth pop.

I have been studying in York, England for the past five years, but the time is soon approaching when I will triumphantly return to my homeland of Slovenia. When somewhat settled there I intend to host many a couchsurfer and continue this couchsurfing affair I began now quite a few years ago, when two Lithuanian girls and a Slovenian boy decided to open the doors of our humble student house to some very colourful characters, many of who I still fondly remember.

Interests

Sitting outside a café in mild weather at twilight with friends drinking coffee or gin & tonic engaged in a postmodernist discussion on the sad state of Slovenian morning television programming and what the hell we're going to do about it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

'With rue my heart is laden
For golden friends I had,
For many a rose-lipt maiden
And many a lightfood lad.

By brooks too broad for leaping
The lightfoot boys are laid;
The rose-lipt girls are sleeping
In fields where roses fade.'

A. E. Housman
