About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To become freinds with absolute EVERYONE

ABOUT ME

PHILOSOPHY

I think the answer to this intricate question is to be found among the local inhabitants of Outer Space, rather than the men and women of my Inner Space, if you know what I mean...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to share my glorious existence by coexisting next to as many glorious new people as possible. I also try to share my couch when it’s available.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Having been homeless for a cople of years, I’ve had the privelege to sleep in a friends bathtub for a couple of months. That was after I’d exploited all other options. I’m an experienced surfer, but lately, after I got my own place, the trend has reversed, which is nice.

Interests

Food! I eat when I'm hungry, but I often drink to get drunk. And Space! Space is totally awesome! And art! And people. And, you know... the rest...

Music, Movies, and Books

Litterature: Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, James Graham Ballard, Charles Bukowski, William S. Burroughs, David Sedaris, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Knut Hamsun, Edgar Allen Poe +++ Robert Fisk ;)
Movies: Lynch, Kubric, Gilliam, Cronenberg, Cohen brothers, Lars Von Trier, Spagetti Westerns, Roadmovies, documentaries, arthouse, random stuff... I'm not too much of a movie watcher, but I know a good movie when I see it ;)
Music: A bit of this, a bit of that, a bit of minimal electronic music, some breakcore, a tad of classical, old school arabic music, country, rock, some mainstream, some experimental avant garde stuff... right now I just got myself 48 hours of turkish folk music from the black sea region, which has turned me slighlty happier ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spending last Christmas eve in the Syrian dessert with a gypsy family watching wrestling on TV was also pretty cool.
