About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learning about Indian culture and people, doing yoga teacher training in Rishikesh

ABOUT ME

Moving, dynamic, unpredictable, fast, wild, ever changing and always the same. From another planet, perhaps.

PHILOSOPHY

"It's like you come onto this planet with a crayon box. Now, you may get the 8-pack, you may get the 16-pack. But it's all in what you do with the crayons, the colors that you're given. And don't worry about drawing within the lines or coloring outside the lines. I say color outside the lines. You know what I mean? Color right off the page. Don't box me in. We're in motion to the ocean. We are not landlocked."
/Waking Life/

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies:Lately I haven't been watching any movies, but I really like mindfucks, also some documentaries are good. Some of my favorite movies are Waking life, Ethernal Sunshine of Spotless mind, Love me if you dare, The Triplets of Belleville, The Truman Show. I also like TV shows, like Simpsons, Family Guy, Rick&Morty, Mr. Pickles... And lately as we're in internet/youtube era, I watch endlessly TED talks, try it out, you can learn a lot. Books? I'm reading a lot, but my memory is too short. My latest favorite authors are Chuck Palunik, Neil Gaiman & Michael Pollan.
I can listen to different music depending on my mood. From ska, punk, metal, hip hop, rock, post rock to trip hop, instrumental, classical, traditional mixed with electro, experimental, folk music, indie pop, etc. The lyrics are important. Don't like cheesey radio hits that sing about nothing.
