About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I do not have a "mission" per see, but I do have a life-philosophy, which is approximately the following: I can live and "do" whatever I like - and whatever happens in life is okey by me. But I rather do things I want, then things I don't want...

ABOUT ME

I'm a multifaceted person, so I chose to keep this to some core explanations

In general I'm a very happy and fun person, and my thinking is commonly "outside" the box, for my own, and sometime other, amusement (unintentionally, but anyway)

I'm very knowledgeable and fond of Words and Hockey.

If I were to give you some guidelines on what I believe is important when interacting with people, I would say something like this:

Being humble, respectful and tolerant. I would also like to quote Voltaire

"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

Among my famous peoples' work I admire I could mention:
Dostoyevsky, Grass, Pratchett, Orwell, Nietzsche, Kubrick, Herzog, Kusturica and many others...

PHILOSOPHY

I base my worldview on my own version of Nihlism, meaning that I base my view from a fictional "zero" point, where "nothing" exists. From this "Zero" point I make my decisions.

But that is my ideals, my thinking-world. In the real world, my actions, I base it upon my thinking-world, but don't take it to the "grave" meaning, because of my world-view, I'm a very flexible person. I'm a very reasonable and understandable person. I have no materialistic wants. I have "thinking-wants" or rather, I enjoy the journey up until I do something, thinking of all the possibilities I have in the world, and then I chose one of these infinite thinking-creations of mine, and execute it as good as I want and can.

To summarize: I'm happy/content with anything that happens, but personally, I enjoy more the "good" things over the "bad" things...leaving the interpretation to the reader.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

The "Couch-surfing" question does not make sense. But I can say: I participate (I suppose...)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Knows about it, never had time to engage myself until this very moment. Hvae thought about it for years, but it hasn't been necessary, based on a multitude of motives.

Interests

Poetry (I create poetry), Hockey (Watching, analyzing and thinking about it), speaking (Listening, but I love to "hold speeches", I do as well enjoy "everyday conversations" - I really do), thinking (About a lot of things), acting (Meaning: Doing the things I think about)

And other things as well, once again, I'm being short and non extensive about this. If I would take my time, who knows when I would be done.

  • poetry
  • acting
  • surfing
  • boxing
  • hockey

Music, Movies, and Books

Mentioned above. But I do like psychological books/films (Dostoyevsky, Kubrick), philosophical/entertaining books/films (Grass, Pratchett, Kafka, Kusturica)...but of course, all the books/films I like, can of course not be divided in to different contexts...I like books and films in general, I like some music...but to sumarize:

My taste is specific. Further review (in more confined space, see above - and of course I've mention just the tip of the iceberg, but at least you have the slightest idea of what a person I am)

I can add: I like my own poetical, rhetorical, satirical and literally works, I think they are good anyway.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Life

Teach, Learn, Share

Anything, Everything and nothing. To generalize is to hinder or misinform about what you can or what others can do. "Aim for the stars, and be content if you reach the top of the clouds" (Just a pro-verb, no more, no less)
