About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find myself a mission

ABOUT ME

I'm a nice and sociable guy (or so they say) happy to meet new people and be exposed to new things.
I'm a blues rock guitarist, play in a local band, and always down for parties and having fun in any way possible.
A little bit on the lazy side.

PHILOSOPHY

Get what you need with minimal possible effort.

Regardless of who you are and what you do, I'd be happy to show you around town and places, generally have fun and help out with stuff.
People youthful at heart and a bit on a crazy side are welcome.
Times when I can host are pretty rare, though, unfourtinately.

Music, Movies, and Books

Really into some good music (blues, blues rock, garage, 60's rock, indie; a little bit of stoner, lo-fi, a tiny little bit of electronic and indie-pop). Of all the artists i'm most fascinated by Jack White and his bands.
I love fantasy and dark fantasy books, sci-fi to some extent.
Some recent examples are Assassin's Apprentice (The Farseer Trilogy) by Robin Hobb, and A Song of Ice and Fire by GRR Martin.
Also a fan of Star Wars,
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, Eurotrip, Crossroads, Inception, It Might Get Loud and Sounds of Noise are good examples of movies that I like.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's amazing how little i have done so far.

Probably the most amazing would be talking to Julius E. Green (one of the ex-singers of The Platters) and having a chance to hang out with Lamar (King Bee) Chase, a bluesman who played with and learned from John Lee Hooker, some members of Santana and many others.
I also did some base jumping, lazer tag and whole bunch of fun stuff that isn't even really special anymore:)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not the best teacher out there, but we could exchange experience on languages, guitar pedals/playing.
Oh, and i always have some tea and cookies, does that count for sharing?
