CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

.
Ey there ! Here's a couple things about who I am.

I would say I am quite a quiet guy, i like to discuss a lot about anything (philosophy, sciences, tomorrow's weather.. whatever). I like those discussions when people compare there view on some nonsense (or not) topic until a sweet small piece of 'truth' emerges.. (however the concept of truth is an intersting one by itself !)
I especially like doing that around a pint of beer/ a bottle of wine :D

I like curiosity and moderation (both at the same time.. possible ?). I like thinking before talking, and talking before doing.
So depending on circumstances this can be my best quality or worst flaw :o)

I like to travel a lot, however I wouldn't say i'm a "all-in" traveller. I made a couple trips (for tourism in Europe, for studies in Japan and US) i don't feel the urge to move as frequently as possible no matter what.
I think staying in a place for a middle to long time (say a couple month minimum) is better for travelling purpose than week-scale trips.
I'm honestly interested in meeting new people, discovering different cultures, confronting ideas and thoughts.. :)

Music, Movies, and Books

René Barjavel, La nuit des temps
Orson Scott Cards, The Tales of Alvin Maker
Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
Haruki Murakami, The wind up bird chronicles
Bram Stocker, Dracula
Jules Verne, L'île mystérieuse

As for music, my listening includes various things, from rocky tunes to classical music, trip-hop, electro (not really the boom-boom club thing though), and a pinch of metal sometimes.
A couple artists I like :
Air, Anja Schneider, Beethoven, Birdy nam nam, CocoRosie, Debussy, Dream Theater, Dvorak, Genesis, Goldfrapp, Gotan Project, Justice, Led Zeppelin, M83, Martina Topley-Bird, Massive Attack, Mike Oldfield, Miss Kittin, Pink Floyd, Portishead, Radiohead, Red hot chili Peppers, Saint Germain, Stravinski, Vangelis, Vitalic..

Also i'm a decent series consumer and I appreciate japanese animation movies. Some titles :
