About Me

I am.. a lover of healthy foods, and tasty foods.

I`m kind of narrow minded in the things I pursue, but kind of open minded when it comes to which things are actually going to happen (because heck, I never know).

I`m usually (usually? come on, now or never) very honest and direct, with a sense of timing, and being considerate. I don`t like "beating around the bush" when the bush is to be beat.

I love humor and love when you bring some

I really do like meditation, and the reasons why I`m meditating. It`s awesome, try it :-D

I don't like TV but I love good movies here and there, that sparkle with mind-expanding shit, scripts, dialogs, ideas, inspire, leave me like "dang!" at the end.. such movies I love

Music is king, not more to be said here. It`s king

I`ve recently started writing anything from poetry to non-fiction to noveltry (is that a word? now it is), and, according to inspiration and free time am about and would like to write my own novel (story and characters set up and ready to go) and one or two non-fiction books about topics I`m not quite certain yet. I enjoy writing, I seem to have a hand for it but I`m young yet .. time will tell

I like critical minds that don`t believe anything, that can entertain ideas without being stuck in them and can take themselves not so seriously. The art of thinking, eh?

I do like yoga and exercises and running and stuff that keeps me in a healthy gooood mooood, state and shape..

I´m sometimes too easy-minded (frivolous?), but extremely cautious about it.

I think women are the most inspiring things on earth, if it wasn`t for them.. (who actually said that? Let`s just quote "men" here). Let´s thank my mom at this point too, thank you.

I like having gratitude for where I am, where I`ve been and where I`m going to

I`m not "normal", I`m not "special" either, in some way we`re all special and we better be normal ("the art of being normal", nice title for a book!) and don`t try be something we are not. Then again, "normal" is the average, so fuck that. If just the average was cool :-D

I think the world and this universe is one big mystery and I for the heck of it can not figure it out and I`m not trying to. Actually, I figured out it to be a mystery! That`s what I figured out in my life-time so far, and it`s quite clear to me. Anyone claiming something else better not be an abstract motherf...ooler. Then again, I like concretity (another word I just created) in word, in idea, and about anything really. How is it? I gotta ask. And then I ask more

I like growth, for myself and others, grow in person, in awareness, in ideas, hell, even grow in emptiness, in becoming more empty and letting in more life to flow

I think the main point in life is to experience and choose your experiences and let experiences fall into place because you can`t really control 99% of what is happening to you and yet you paradoxically have all the control in the world if you wish to (how comes. Ah yeah, mystery this place, I forgot).

I love meeting many different individual mind-sets that have evolved out of themselves and not out of someone-else and are just a copy of something or someone. I like unique perspectives born out of ones own thinking, experiences and conclusions

Yeah there much more to be said but let`s stop. For now

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Cheaphead 8-) No I like the unusual way of things, that`s quite usual to me. And WHO the HELL knows whom I`m gonna meet out of this, what relationships, opportunities, ideas are born out of this. I`d like to find out though

And I`d like to inspire, laugh, or maybe have some not so good experiences (because hell, why not) on the way. But not you, please 8-) I like crazy stuff at times; let`s call it crazy, not "not so good". Let`s have crazy experiences, yeah

Music, Movies, and Books

Music

Neelix/Symphonix from my youth
Radiohead a blast
Paul Kalkbrenner always smooth
there are a many great german artists and internationals (like nneka, Michael Jackson, coldplay, moloko, bob marley, Zaz, Nina Simone, Nick cave and the bad seeds, Mogwai and many many others as different from one-another as they can be)

I like instrumental, DnB I love, progressive trance/ambient and alike to dance, Minimal

Piano (Yann Tiersen, Carly commando,..), Classical music awesome too here and then (Mozart, Tschaikowsky,..)... and so on and so forth.

Favourite books are..

- Herman Hesse - Siddharta
- Fightclub by Chuck Palahniuk
- Hemingway - The old man and the sea
- Lessons from the dying - Rodney smith
- Erich Fromm - to have or to be
- On the Toltec Path (summary of don juans teachings from Castaneda)

I love Osho, although I`m not reading him anymore, as well as Eckhart Tolle been very inspiring in my youth and need be mentioned

three best personal development books are
- 7 habits of highly effective people by Stephen R. Covey
- Six pillars of self-esteem by psychologist Nathaniel Branden
- Way of the suprerior men by david deida (great about love and sex, relationship and purpose)

I havn`t met so many books really, but those I read seem be pretty good always :-P These are most of them, not to say there aren`t many others I barely remember

Favourite movies:

Fightclub, Pulp Fiction, anything from Monty Python, A dangerous Method, LotR trilogy, Wolf of wall street (best satire on modern living), anything that made me laugh my ass off, blow my mind or make me think: Waking life is another.. I am Sam.. too many to even list, or remember them all I guess. These are pretty dang good already though.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Two so far IMHO. One, I heard about some schamanic brew in the amazons and found a schaman doing ceremonies both in one youtube video, I decided that`s what I want to do intuitively, so I quit my job, emailed this guy and flew over 2 or 3 months later and had a many life-changing experiences in the depths of the jungle (oh it was a nice little quiet place in the forests actually, not so deep)

Year later I quit my job (or I have been quit actually) and flew over to india with a backpack and a budget and no idea what I`m going to do or where I`m going for 6 months, had an awful bad and good time, found inspiring people, new friends and the love of my life (so far). god bless her

Oh another one.. I got tricked into handing some lady over 4000 bucks that I didn`t see again ever in my life and left me broke; that was one of an amazing thing I`ve done so far lol but again, the important thing is what one learns out of something, and I learned so much it was well worth 40.000 bucks
