About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Clubbing after a hard week of work

ABOUT ME

Man, ok, versatile person who wants to see everything, do "everything" before its too late. Love to meet lots of people, from different backgrounds/cultures/nationalities and learn from them. Anything/anyone out of the ordinary catches my interest. Love to go to crowded places, where everybody is socializing, having fun, dancing, drinking, living it up as if there is no tomorrow.
I believe one should "Live as if they were to die tomorrow, learn as if they were to live forever" - Mahatma Gandhi.
Life is too short to do dull things or stick around negative situations while you can go out and enjoy! You only live once as far as I know ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Oh man, I have many. Let's see.
"Actions speak louder than words"
"That which does not kill us makes us stronger" - Nietzsche
"Without music, Life would be a mistake" - Nietzsche
"You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist" - Nietzsche
"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music" - Nietzsche
"We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once"- Nietzsche
"The higher we soar the smaller we appear to those who cannot fly" - Nietsche
"To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot and love him a little. To be happy with a woman you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all"!

Music, Movies, and Books

Gypsy and Balkan music are my favourite I guess. It all depends on the mood you know. I love techno/electro/house, as well as other music that is enjoyable to dance to. Goran Bregovic, Shantel, Guetta, DJ Afrojak come on top of my list.
I also love classical music, I would love to learn to play the piano some day when I have time. I'm fond of the Nutcracker, Swan Lake of Tchaikovsky, Carmen of Bizet, Chopin's and Liszt's piano sonatas, Beethoven's symphonies especially the 7th, Bach, Mozart, Vivaldi, Grieg, Rachmaninoff,....and so on

Books: I enjoy reading buddhist writers like Osho, Robin Sharma, also enjoy reading old french writers like Denis Diderot "Supplement o voyage de Bougainville", and Voltaire for his revolutionary ideas and implicit satire of societies, Victor Hugo for his melancholy..
Found myself attracted more towards medieval themed movies, knight/king and queen stories, from Tristan and Isold to braveheart, Robin Hood, The 13th warrior, also to older time periods like Troy, and Gladiator..
