About Me

What I know about, woodworking, outdoors, books, computers, web development, travelling.

------------------------

I having been a part of this community for many years and generally being one of those people who tries to talk with every slightly friendly face I see on the road, on the tour, in the museum and so on.

I have come to the realization that I don't care about cultures, I don't care about religions.
I don't care about countries, I don't care about money. and food isn't that important to me.

What is most important to me is seeing happy people, fascinated people, people who are driven, profficient or contend.
No one is any of this all the time, we all have our faults and problems.

A great feeling is when we can help another person, and it is even the more powerful when it is someone we admire. A great feeling is when we feel part of a group. A great feeling is when we feel trust.

Be helpful, admire the little things, be dependable

Listen to your own feelings, not the ones you are expected to have. Be flexible and remember from a certain point of view all experiences are good.

This is the way I try to live my life, it says nothing about my negative sides, because who are courageous enough to expose them straight up, so hey lets talk about that over a beer ;)
