ABOUT ME
Friendly, talkative, open-minded....All the usual chliches you can read in any CS profile are (partly) valid with me. Lets move to some specific stuff then.
I love to move around. I would travel hundreds of kilometers just to see a friend, have a beer or a cofee with him - and then hundreds of kilometers back home - for pure joy of beeing on the move. Usually by hitch hiking.
I love to help people. Driving a stranger, who at around midnigth ran out of fuel to the next petrol station is a delight for me. A friend is moving and needs two strong arms to carry all the stuff? Ill surely be there! Another friend is repairing a car and needs help? Yep, ill come in!
I love absurd situations, like being lost with nothing but a lighter on the north of Sweeden. Or - being overlooked and missed by a friend who had to pick me up on the petrol station in Italy and yet again completly lost. Or - driving a rental car, which breaks up in the middle of highway, has no highway tax payed, has no papers... In general - the feeling "Wow, now im REALLY screwed". It just happens that the meaning of really screwed is pushed further with each new situation.
I hate dishonesty, lie, unjustice.
PHILOSOPHY
Live and let live. Do not tell others how to live, they have their own way. You can never tell if your (opinion on their) way is better!!
Do not take yourself too seriously. Do not take anything too seriosly. Howerver bad today - tommorow, its gonna be history and a funny memory. Next week itll probably the story to tell friends and laugh at.
Whatever happens - it may lead you to a new, unexpected destination / target / situation. Which maybee is not the one you want to achieve right now, but maybee it is better for you. The future will show. You can never tell....
