About Me

CURRENT MISSION

i guess not the kind of person with an actual, specific mission

ABOUT ME

i can bend my thumb in the most impressive way

by the way, if you're reading this as a potential host, I can only assure you as much as I don't send couch requests unless I really think the person on the other side (or the version of him/her depicted in their profile) seems cool to me!

PHILOSOPHY

I´m not that much into isolated-quotations-that-describe-an-entire-philosophy-of-life, but i like the idea of living the type of life that would stir this type of thoughts:

"If a film were to exist in which the breadth and flux of a creative life could be experienced, a film that could open up as oppose to consolidating what we think we already know walking in, it could never be within the tidy arc of a master narrative. The structure of such a film would have to be a fractured one, with numerous openings and a multitude of voices, with its prime strategy being one of refraction, not condensation. Imagine a film splintered between seven separate faces -old men, young men, women, children-€ each standing in for spaces in a single life."

(Todd Haynes, when presenting his own idea for what would later become the movie about Bob Dylan's (multiple) life(s))
