About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To save the world from myself, to inspire moments of optimism and happiness, to create valuable times and make a difference...

ABOUT ME

It's not me to describe myself... Anyway, I'm a crazy, enthusiastic, funny, socially, life-lover, sad, introspective, unconventional, ordinary guy who's trying to add some excitement to an ordinary life. I'm economist for necessity, photographer for passion, traveler for nature!

PHILOSOPHY

You see things as they are and ask "Why?", I dream things as they never were and ask "Why not?"

"If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery-isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine.
If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is."
