About Me

CURRENT MISSION

it's more important skill to listen than speak

ABOUT ME

I'm interested in to learn and see new things and get to know peoples from other countries and cultures. I love music and arts and a few things are as awesome as making some creative project with other person, doesn't matter is it taking photographs, play instruments or records or have i nice chat. I think you can get pretty much everything you ever wanted if you just want it hard enough. But I think even more important is to help one another to achieve ones too and maybe something even greater together as a humankind. I don't trust indutries and politics but people.

PHILOSOPHY

There's so much babylon in the world such a big industries and crooked politics with rotten coverments and a huge media hype which trying to hold you down and make you to do things they want by making them look shiny. To live fast, consume as much as you can, gain your own status by pressing others down and juxtapositioning between ones ho are different are not the things you can achieve happiness with but peace love and respect. Don't follow other pathway but yours.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love reading and movies but my biggest passion is music. Mostly i'm listening electronic and some experimental stuff but i like a lot of hiphop and reggae stuff too as well as. I mostly read non-fiction books and articles but every now and then i also end up to read some nice prose. With movies, drama and thriller type of movies often punch me most but sometimes it's nice to watch some art movies or just relaxing cosy comedy.
