ABOUT ME

I'm Melih, currently studying Statistics @Metu (Odtu), and I'm research assitant at same university.

I like hosting, traveling, talking with people, sports, music, cinema.

I don't like Ankara, especially after Izmir people don't like such places. I love sea and swimming, maybe this could be reason for hating Ankara :)but don't worry, i know good places in Ankara :)

PHILOSOPHY

"The revolution satisfies deep human needs denied by society.That's why it is dangerous.The biggest social problem in the country today is loneliness.
Loneliness is not an individual problem-its the collective problem of millions,growing out of the alienating environment we live in.We work in one part of the town with people who are not our friends,and sleep in another part of town and don't know our neighbours.We waste much of our life dying in mobile concentration camps called freeways or commuter trains.
Where in the city can we go to make friends?Where can we leap out of our individual prisons and enjoy each other?The city is full of walls,locked doors,signs saying DON'T...
If someone you don't know says hello,you get uptight;"What's he want?".It's taboo to talk to strangers.Everybody's hustling.The streets are paved with terror, the city a prison for the soul.
The car,a box, transports lonely people from the box where they sleep to the box where they work,and then back to the box where they sleep.The only good driver is the one who takes another road.
The streets are for business ,not people.You can't sit in a restaurant without buying food; you can't read magazine in a store-you gotta buy, buy-move on,move on..
Watching the world from a street corner is loitering.Hitchhiking is a crime.It's against the law to panhandle,to rap to a crowd in the streets,to give out free food in the streets,to stop traffic.Playing harmonica in the streets is illegal in California.
If you don't hand a cop documentary proof of who you are, you can be arrested.To the state empty pockets means vagrancy.

We are liberating the city, turning the streets into our living rooms.We live,work,eat,play and sleep together with our friends on the street.Power is our ability to stand on a street corner and do nothing.We are creating youth ghettos in every city, luring into the streets everyone who is bored at home,school or work.And everyone is looking for "something to do"
For us empty pockets means liberation-from draft cards,checkbooks,credit cards,registration papers-we are close to our naked bodies."
