关于我

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. There are some subjects that I'm dealing with all the time. The vulnerability of the human being. Humiliation, when people humiliate each other and when they humiliate themselves. Unfortunately, we've had a period where to look after one another is seen as old-fashioned. I'm a cynical person and I think that by a certain age, coincidences lose their magic, no longer surprise, become run-of-the-mill and that day I die.. but 'till that day any new possibility that existence acquires, even the least likely, transforms everything about existence.
According to an ancient Greek saying which I paraphrase: It is best to be born and immediately die rather than experience the misery of life.

兴趣

I have so many interests that you may find out about only during long hours of walking and talking around the city-center or when the Masule city is to be discovered and we're going to take those long hours and keep them ahead of us while we're surrounded with historical architectures and then_ our interests unravel! ;)

Name dropping isn't really a hobby of mine!
I love this quotation: Optimism is the opium of the people.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Loneliness is never more cruel than when it is felt in close propinquity with someone who has ceased to communicate, and that moment often scares me!
Therefore it's very sarcastic to me that human life is summarized in communication which is in reality only a range of misunderstandings. But even so I have lived up to now and that is by far the most amazing thing I've done!

.
Just kidding! I've done many crazy things. Just ask me when you meet me, where's the fun in telling you right away in here!?

教,学,和分享

Reducing someone to the number of languages he or she speaks trivializes the immense power that language imparts. After all, language is the living testament to a culture’s history and world view, not a shiny trophy to be dusted off for someone’s self-aggrandizement.
Language is a complex tapestry of trade, conquest and culture to which we each add our own unique piece.
Share your knowledge, Teach someone something new today!
Don't get lost in all the information. :)

If you are visiting me, I'm going to be frank with you: I don't like hypocrites.
If you have the passion for learning, discovering and then sharing them and passing them onto others then you are about to meet your bestfriend! :D

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I've been thinking about getting a British/Irish accent.
I would like some help with reading in Italian.
Cases and grammar in Russian.
Alphabet in Icelandic.
Music in German.
Poetry in French.
I would appreciate any help with vowels and sounds and intonation information of the mentioned languages.
IN RETURN, I can make it up to you by showing you around, giving you cultural information about the region, taking you to touristic/local spots (if you're more into quiet non-touristic places like me that'd be the local spots I'm talking about. Generally, a local spot would be places that the local people go to in order to have fun.) Also_ show you the ups and downs of the official and the local language (If you are a language freak like me), help you find your way in solo trips (the ones that you'd like to go alone and leave your host behind but need a guide as well), share worlds with you (personal or not. Oh what does that mean!? Well it means--- "This is a struggle about meaning when the very instruments we have for understanding, the words that must bear the freight, are imperfect because they are human words!"). Give you a good time! Can't think of anything else right now but you could always ask me.
