CURRENT MISSION

"I am built for comfort, I ain't built for speed" Howlin' Wolf (1919-1976)

ABOUT ME

56 year old gay man, living in the city center of Antwerp for 30 years now. Born in the sixties, raised on the French pop my big sisters brought home, broke free on punk and other madness. I still embrace everything and everyone that is fresh and new. I may never find what I'm looking for --providing that one day I should know what that would be-- and that is fine with me.
