I'm nothing
I'll always be nothing
I can't wish to be anything
Aside from that, I've all of the dreams of the world inside me ..

MY PHILOSOPHY:

Heed the Delphic creed - γνῶθι σεαυτόν. You may travel the world, but no matter where you go, there you are.

§ i.

Metaphysics: Πάντα ῥεῖ καὶ οὐδὲν μένει

§ ii.

Epistemology: Only the banal can be known with absolute certainty. The truths most deeply yearned for are the hardest to grasp. Of what we cannot grasp we cannot speak. Of what we cannot speak we must pass over in silence.

§ iii.

Ethics: Il faut cultiver notre jardin

§ iv.

Æsthetics: De gustibus non est disputandum

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Travelin' around is pretty cool, I like meeting new people, and I'm cheap as s**t.

兴趣

My second favorite thing in life is sitting on benches watching things move through space and time, allowing my mind to wander down the avenues of memory and the alleyways of imagination. Everything else I do only because sometimes it gets cold or dark or rainy or I'm hungry or I need to wax my spats or something.

音乐、电影和书籍

MUSIC:
She is the queen of the arts. Accordingly, her radiance is most arresting when she is clothed in garments befitting her station: High Baroque, late Romantic, early Modern. Just the same, it's way more fun when she's a straight-from-the-bottle type o' gal: pre-war blues, jazz before the mid-70s, various popular forms.

FILM:
I more or less follow le modèle de l'auteur. Personalfavs: Allen, Almodóvar, Antonioni, Bresson, Buñuel, Cassavetes, Chaplin, Эйзенштейн, فرخزاد, Fellini, Flaherty, Godard, Herzog, Huston, Калато́зов, کیارستمی, Kieślowski, Kubrick, 黒沢, Кустурица, Lang, Lynch, Melville, 溝口, Murnau, 小津, Փարաջանյան, Pasolini, Peckinpah, Powell & Pressburger, রায়, Resnais, Тарковский, Tati, Вертов, Welles, Wilder. Ok ok .. I also enjoy a good popcorn flick from time to time.

BOOKS:
L'Encyclopédie, James Joyce, the book of Nature.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Challenged Death to a game of chess & beat him playing left-handed.

教，学，和分享

Stop this day and night with me and you shall possess the origin of all poems,
You shall possess the good of the earth and sun.... there are millions of suns left,
You shall no longer take things at second or third hand.... nor look through the eyes of the dead.... nor feed on the spectres in books,
You shall not look through my eyes either, nor take things from me,
You shall listen to all sides and filter them from yourself.
