About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Dr. Steve Bob's Training Program (in other words - no mission atm)

ABOUT ME

I'm kind of artistic I guess...but not neccesarily. :P I think too much and while I love people I also need quite a bit of time just by myself. I'm easy to handle though, a very social introvert then!

I'm learning to live in the only existing moment that is NOW. Plans can be made but thinking overtly about past and future is to enter a dreamland that doesn't exist. Learning more about clinging less to things yet being more involved in the life around me. The hardest lesson so far in my life, it's never ending!

I want to study, and I want to work, but what, is still all in the open. I'm in no rush in life. I'm not afraid of old age because of what life does to one's body, I'm more afraid of using the time I have in things that didn't matter in the end. Time itself matters little in the end.

I love music, all forms of culture and discussion as much as I love being an complete dork. And having a drink and game of cards with friends. I'm curious by nature and at least I'd like to strive to challenge myself. I can be neurotic, perfectionist sometimes when it comes to the things I do, but also lazy. Lousy perfectionist. :P

PHILOSOPHY

I enjoy life. Simple as that.

Hmm...let's try again...what I want from life is...to live my life to it's end so that I'll live without doing too much damage to others and to my world, and with an open heart and honest mind. Easier said than done?

Learning from challenges and constantly changing, adapting, gaining new knowledge, experience and resources to become more the person I am. Trying to understand the world around and myself in it, and the external being in balance with the internal.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm open to host people! But my life can be quite hectic, hence "maybe". I'm sorry, but I can't guarantee hosting, especially on short notice.

Also looking forward traveling more and meeting more Couch surfers!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Visited Netherlands in early autumn of '08. Wonderful experience, three couches surfed! Hosted couple times now.

Interests

Music, movies, all kinds of culture.

Photography is one of my passions as well as music, although when it comes to making sounds myself, I have only little experience on mixing.

Music, Movies, and Books

For music...shoegazer at the moment is the favourite area of music.

Writers: William S. Burroughs, Vonnegut, Camus, Hubert Selby Jr. Chuck Palahniuk. Dark, strange stuff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

All the days when the sun shines while it is raining at the same time, you know, when the sky is in pink-pastel color.

It's amazing to be alive. Shit, I dont know. My profile is more flowery-poetry than I am in regular life, yet these are sincere thoughts. Thinking and meeting other Surfers pretty much requires some hippyness, so I guess it's in me. I get high on people, you know the feeling...
