About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Observe, learn and... make...

ABOUT ME

It never easy to describe yourself. Specially because your own description is rather different than how the others see you, then you should look to my references. I will still try...

I am very curious about almost everything. For a while, I could't help understanding everything but now I am cured... I am scatterbrain and messy (this explain my presentation).

I have a lot of difficulties to go to bed as to wake up early. The days are clearly too short I would like to have a day of 27 hours but the Earth refuse to slow down.

I am fascinate by nature and I enjoy any kind of activities related to it.

I think that good food and/or good drink are one of the key of a happy everyday life.

I like money only when I need it.

I like lo learn more about the people that I met. I like to share time as a collaborative project, trying to achieve somethings together. I think that social intelligence is clearly underestimate.

I am full of contradictions! I am social and talkative even I can be reserved. I am trustable but unrealible for many everyday things (paying bill, be on time...).

And I think that I should stop because I like to keep one's feelings to themselves...

PHILOSOPHY

It is easier to laugh than to cry... Anyway every problem has a solution and it is fun to find...
