About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to repair peoples WIFIs all over the world ;)

ABOUT ME

I am a very open and (for a german) humorous guy who's always trying to see the fun and good side of everything although i am very aware, that a lot of things are very much fucked up.

Changing this is still a goal in my life, although the way to do this has constantly changed.
I'm still working on myself...

PHILOSOPHY

You know Brian - some things in live are bad, they can really make you mad, other things just make you swear and curse. If you're chewing on life's grissle, don't grumble, give it a whistle! and this will help things turn out for the best and ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE (please whistle now)
Life is wonderful!

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite books are the magic mountain (der Zauberberg) from Thomas Mann, Iluminatus! by Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea and some other book i forgot the name and author of.
I love to play instruments and listen to all kinds of music, especially all kinds of guitar music from punk rock to folk to experimental thrash metal ;) also i like a lot of good hiphop/rap, techno, minimal, substatic techhouse or deep minimal disco click house (just kidding ;)).
I don't like most of raggaton, r&b or boring pop... (hey, that changed in 2010 - i have danced to raggaton now but i am still embarresed)
As you would guess i like all kinds of interesting movies as well...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not traveling for over a year in Costa Rica, working and living the Pura Vida. Climbing the vulcano Misti in two days in Arequipa, Peru. Walking to Macchu Pichu. Visit a shaman in the amazonian delta. Learn surfing from a english guy in brasil who seriously thought he is a combination of han solo and indiana jones. The whole travel through South America in general. Hitchhiking through Europe, just me, my tent and my instrument. Working in Europes biggest bureaucracies like ECB or DoD of Germany. Returning the lost wallet of an angel in Amsterdam. Surfing Caribean, Atlantic, Pacific and Northern Sea. Starting a company in Costa Rica. Playing the blues with every rockband i saw since 2008. Living five days on a beach in Colombia just surviving on presents from arriving tourists for playing my instrument (mostly got rum). Attending the best european Hacker Camps and Congresses. See a lot of places, doing a lot of stuff i wouldn't articulate in public.
