About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get a Nobel Prize for discovering mechanisms of mental disorders and phobias.

ABOUT ME

I like to live off the mainstream path. Artist, inventor, explorer, photographer, philosopher, traveler, sailor, animal enthusiast, insane person - I am some of them all. I prefer reading paper books to internet articles.

I'm a very curious person, asking many questions (also answering if asked). Knowledge is one of the highest values to me, right beside friendship. It's better to know the worse, than stay happy but ignorant.

Despite of my looks:
-I don't eat cats or worship the devil - actually I pray to God and I am a cat enthusiast
-I don't play a guitar or make rock music, although I like to listen to it

Interests

-Urban exploring
-Discovering different cultures
-Learning languages & history
-Intense discussions, also on serious matters
-Sailing
-Mountain climbing

Music, Movies, and Books

Some of the writers I like to read: Hemingway, Kesey, Dostoyevski, Bulhakov, Murakami, Sapkowski, Dukaj, Glukhovsky, Tolkien, Pratchett, Orwell, Vonnegut, Kundera... There are many of them, and in fact not many are so well known worldwide.
I like war memories, psychological, religious, historical and fantasy books.

As for the movies:

I know it's a Polish site, but most movie titles are in English anyway. And the stars are pretty obvious, aren't they?
