Finding something to eat!

ABOUT ME

I don´t know how it could be possible to write down everything about me about my interests. I´m afraid I could waste my whole life doing this...
Anyway, here´s a start.
I am studying in Kiel in the cold cold and rainy rainy north of Germany. Actually, most of the people in our region don´t like this weather. That is why we like fast music with lyrics complaining about the weather in norhern germany: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IK3Tg_HYP0 (Watch out for the both catchphrases: "Fuck Winter!" and "Fuck Winter! Weil Du du ein Arschloch bist!")
Well, you got me. I like music. A lot of music. Especially weird stuff. But I will refer to this in the section "Music" in my profile.
I am studying in Kiel since 2009 and was born in Bremen. I hate studying...i mean...the modern type of studying. All this Bachelor/Master-crap. I thin i am too open minded for that, I spend my life doing too much and focussing on nothing. ;-)
I mean, how could you organise DJing (mostly Punk-Rock, Post-Rock, Trash, you name it), doing a Radio Show (Punkrock/HC/Local Stuff), working at a library (Books, Books, Books) and studying (Bachelor Ethnology and Politics)?
So, normally I am stressed out, have a lack of sleep and need some coffee. and I tend to forget a lot of things. Well, I am a lovely messy guy! ;-)

Unlikely, I am not the surfer and sea-sports kinda guy, in case you search for somebody like to hit the coast. But if you are into music, concerts, some cultural stuff and drinking beer, I surely am the right guy to waste some time.

PHILOSOPHY

Actually I try to learn from everything that surrounds me. Which is quite difficult to realise and somtimes weighing me down.
In fact: Try respect everybody. Try to see things always from perspectives. Everybody is doing something for a reason, not just because they are mean or nasty. Others also have their philosophy and they have their own reasons for it.
So: I like everybody who is trying to respect everybody. People who only judge others by their look or just some rumours or single stupid statements: Fuck off! ;-)
This of course includes racism, fundamentalism and all stupid right-wing stuff.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I really like the idea of CS. So them ost important thing about this networking stuff is reliability. In the last couple of months I didn´t really check out my profile that often, because I was busy reading stuff about cultural theories and travelling between Bremen and Kiel... But from now on I am planning to do this here more regularly.
Service, Business etc. ...this world out there is way too expensive and anonymous. It is all about efficiency and competition. fuck that. Let´s all have good time meeting each other and find out what this adventure of life has prepared for us. and for all of this, CS surely is a good platform.

Interests

Like I said, I am doing a lot of stuff with music.
So i am organising concerts in Kiel (check: Fugbaum Concerts), organising some parties in Bremen, visiting concerts in Kiel, Bremen and Hamburg.
But I also like reading books (yay, this old media out of paper with letters in it), strolling around and enjoying silence.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I fell in love once. Woooo, that was freaky...

Concerts of Maserati, Alexisonfire, Rise Against, Ratatat, Lightning Bolt, Cancer Bats... All of them were pure love.

Waking up in the morning because of the sun is shining into your bed is the best light-show i´ve ever seen.

Seeing into the eyes of someone who is with you. Really with you. Sort of. Amazing.
