CURRENT MISSION

to find myself

ABOUT ME

prefer non-smoking areas to smoking ones, prefer creating to critisizing, prefer understanding. Striving to keep my roots, looking for directions of the further development.

PHILOSOPHY

"You have to be f..king awesome" -- a line from one add on craigslist i once saw when i was looking far an appartment in Chicago. i didn't pay pay much attention, but it keeps coming up in my head. Thought it might suffice as my philosophy moto. I want a T-Shirt that would say "MAKE ART". I would like it to be designed so that those words would look very imposing and persuasive. I also have a tatoo that reads REMEMBER. Guess that would be it.

You know how they do that fast reading trick?
they DO NOT pronounce words to themselves. They just do it with their eyes, quick, running eyes. You have to understand that, and then practice will make perfect.
