ABOUT ME
you know, i can whole day be staring at the ceilings and thinking or just watching movies 7 days in a row without doing anything else. but another time i'll be on the road for a month or two or more without shower and just sleeping under olive trees while crashing into people and stories. i do enjoy both: solitude and drowning into society and its lunacy.
to put in another words: calm and restless at the same time.
PHILOSOPHY
to sleep under olive trees.

Music, Movies, and Books
cinema: from total arthouse to qualitative hollywood tradition. you can take so much from all of them, it just depends on your mood, needs and goals. some of my favourite pieces: 8 1/2, amarcord, heat, pulp fiction, lost highway, chungking express, the dreamers, taxi driver, the birdy, bin-jip, i'm not there, irreversible, shining, neatmenu tavo veido, alexander och fanny, last tango in paris, twin peaks, zagreb animation, times of gypsies, turks fruit, ¿Qué he hecho yo para merecer esto!... there tons of them so we all can get tired of naming them.
as well as with filmmakers. F. Fellini, D. Lynch, P. Almodovar... okay, maybe those could be my gods creating totally different traditions, but how can man forget B. Bertolucci, Kar Wai Wong, I. Bergman, G. Noa, Tarantino, K. Kieslowski, Kim Ki-Duk, A. Parker, A. Hitchcock and tons the others?. let's stop naming. but cinema is the air i'm breathing.
music: blues, rock, rock'n'roll, jazz, swing, folk and some of the other vibes which i'm not capable anymore of naming their genres... sounds enables me to feel the flow, the rhythm and the irregularities of this damn earth, its inhabitants, objects and subjects, laws and phenomenas... music let me feel everything from my tip toes. my classics: the doors, pink floyd, keith jarret, ella fitzgerald, stan getz, katalena, sigur ros, bob dylan, led zeppelins, tom waits, miriam makeba, screamin' jay hawkins, janis joplin, ali farka tourre, ray charles, miles davis, iva bittova, portico quartet... but there are so much more.
reading: pieces of cultural, anthropological, sociological stuff, a bit of poetry (in particular Bruno K. Oijer and Ch. Bukowski), artists' biographies and smth else.
