About Me

CURRENT MISSION

is to complete one mission at a time...haven´t quite figured out what my upcoming mission is about... its probably got something to do with discovering myself or some halabalu like it. :) did i say i like to smile?

ABOUT ME

I'm a lunatic who can often seem very normal. I am not well spoken or usually eloquent in speech but i think i have a few good words somewhere in the back of my mind. If not i steal words. I love stealing from Socrates. Smart Man. He taught me the most valuable thing i know - "One thing only I know, and that is that I know nothing." That sentenced alone seemed to free me from judgements and an over inflated ego, now my ego is just inflated. haha i joke. Also like Socrates I like to think of myself as a citizen of the world. I love new cultures and languages, and exploring what is beyond my realm of knowledge. I tend to smile a lot and laugh obnoxiously when i really think something is funny.

PHILOSOPHY

I can learn something valuable from anyone and everyone, and my actions are the only ones worth controlling. Everything comes down to Compassion. Be compassionate and the rest will follow.

Interests

Traveling, dancing, reading, writing, people watching, people hugging, eating, dancing, hiking, climbing, jumping, eating, eating and eating. Anything physical, i like to be active as much as i like to sit on my ass and eat all day! I'm pretty much Interested in most things i can think of. Besides collecting things. I'm not interested in collecting stamps or coins or baseball cards, i don't really get that hobby. But for the most part, i'm interested.

Music, Movies, and Books

My IPod randomly died in the most devastating fashion not too long ago so there's a lot i've just been missing and not listening too, but Lately i've been all about Little Dragon, Mike Miloosh, Lykkie Li, BSS, Jose Gonzales, The Knife. I'm obsessed with Bon Iver, Kanye West and Lil Wayne (yes i said it). I love Jeff Buckley, Antony and the Johnsons, Fever ray, Pearl Jam and Eddie Vedder (having an "into the wild" episode), La Bersuit, Chambao, Lenine, Buena Vista Social Club, Florence + the Machine, Lissie, GLASSER, The Roots, Tribe, Jill Acott, Meshell Ndegeocello, Those Dancing Days,Mike Snow, Explosions in the Sky, TV on the Radio, Mumford and Sons, The Antlers etc, etc.
I just saw "El Secreto de Sus Ojos" y me gusta mucho. The gods must be crazy 1, 2 and 3 are the funniest movies of all time. City of God, Amores Perros, Life as a House, Punch Drunk Love, IDK there are a lot. my new fav is Peques.
As far as books, "The giving tree" is for life. I tend to read a lot of Kurt Vonnegut and Polahniuk i guess i'm into sarcasm. I like the kind of books that make you sad when they end, just because the journey is over and there's no more reading to be obsessed about doing. Sometimes i read those books twice in a row. Most recently was "The Shadow of the Wind" by Carlos Ruiz Zafron - Increible!!!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw a couple that were still madly in love after over 30 years of being together the other day and it made me happy. Other than that i've traveled through Europe, visited numerous times in Israel, Went backpacking in South America for about a year and just got back from burning man and the aftermath... where do i start?

Teach, Learn, Share

Forgive me because i really do have an abundance of things i want to learn and its a bit unfair because i don't have too much to teach. I do have English, although it's my native language so i don't know how good i would be at teaching it, but i have no qualms with trying. I also speak Hebrew fluently. I could teach you a few soccer tricks, as long as you're really bad at soccer. Ummmm... ya, i want to learn how to: Cook, sew, make jewelry, anything sporty like surfing, snow boarding, rock climbing etc.,Spanish, Portugese, Play an instrument, paint, fix cars, dance, any kind of dance, especially brazillian dances. Hmmmm... there's more but i'm feeling the pressure of the box so i am just gonna say... anything i have to give i want to share and anything i could learn i'd like to try, except for Heroin i'm not really interested in trying Heroin. Oh and i'd really really like to learn how to farm and quit smoking and eat healthy and do yoga.
