PHILOSOPHY

"Life ... is like a shop window. People pass by. Some stop." (from the German song "Unbekannt nicht zu sprechen" by ClickClickDecker)

Often, it's good to be honest about your feelings and thoughts, but you need some power to stand the consequences. On the one hand sometimes you are shocked, that others are lying to you. On the other hand, it can be hard to be told the truth from somebody.

If you are afraid of being disappointed, you should reduce your expectations. But don't become too pessimistic. Be happy about the good things you are experiencing.

Interests

I like to listen to good music and entertaining radio shows. I enjoy being out in the nature and travelling by train or by car. I'm very interested in Scandinavia. I have many skills in computer stuff. I'm a fan of board games.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't like watching TV, but I enjoy many movies (action, sci-fi, comedy, independent, documentary), some examples are
- film series: James Bond (+ parody Austin Powers), Star Wars (+ parody Spaceballs), Star Trek, The Lord of the Rings, Matrix, Die Hard, The Naked Gun
- films of famous directors: Quentin Tarantino, Jim Jarmusch, Martin Scorsese, Stanley Kubrick, David Lynch

There are a lot of groups whose music I like, e.g. Scandinavian ones: The Megaphonic Thrift, The Knife, Fever Ray, Lykki Li, Den Svenska Björnstammen, Detektivbyrån, Wintergatan, Laleh, Robyn, Röyksopp, Datarock, Teddybears STHLM, Peter Bjorn and John, José Gonzalez and others

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- In March 2009, I slept one night under the open sky in Norway and woke up in midnight looking to the stars above me and easily found all parts of the constellation "Great Bear".

- In December 2009, I visited Stockholm for three impressive days - hiking at sunshine through the snow-covered city.

- In January 2012, I watched a wonderful sunset over the Baltic Sea after visiting the museum "Arken" in Copenhagen.

- In July 2012, I spent one month in Colombia and met all my friends there. One Sunday afternoon, a lot of my friends met together for a picnic in a park. Everybody was there because of me and now my friends are friends to eachother, too.

- In May 2013, I moved to Malmö. At the first evening in my new apartment, I sat down at the coast in the direct neighbourhood and watched the initial event in a series of many impressive sunsets over the sea and the skyline of Copenhagen. It was overwhelming to live so close to the strait "Öresund".
