CURRENT MISSION

falling in love with spiders and rain

ABOUT ME

me? easy going, good listener. like to ask questions. songwriter. music, music, music! lover of food. Amsterdam! love language. love poetry, with Bukowski as my tragic hero (here's a little Bukowski treat for you: "if there is light, it will find you"). movies. friends and long conversations.

PHILOSOPHY

how's this for a philosophy?: "he was a good man. two days before he died, he bought me a beer... or did he buy me two beers?" (Ion B. Romanian artist)
I don't really have a personal philosophy to be honest. sometimes, for a day or two..
