Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To be.
PHILOSOPHY
Knowing others is wisdom;
Knowing the self is enlightenment.
Mastering others requires force;
Mastering the self requires strength;
He who knows he has enough is rich.
Perseverance is a sign of will power.
He who stays where he is endures.
To die but not to perish is to be eternally present
(Daodejing)

Music, Movies, and Books
About movies? Well, I like the perfectionism of Stanley Kubrick. The rebelliousness of Japanese/French new wave. The wacky humor of Peter Jackson's earlier films. The geniunely eerie atmosphere of the films by Larry Fessenden. The surreal worlds of Alejandro Jodorowsky. The philosophy of Werner Herzog. The craziness of Takashi Miike. And so on, so on...
I have a wide taste in music: I could listen to hardcore/punk one day and some crazy psychedelic shit the next. Favorite artists at the moment: Flying Lotus, The Velvet Underground, Ceremony, Throbbing Gristle, Crystal Castles, Samiyam, Dangers, The Doors, Hudson Mohawke, Punch, Brian Eno etc.
Books: Vonnegut, Dostoyevski, Abe, Akutagawa, Camus, Burroughs, Alliksaar, Kaplinski, Borges, Bukowski, Thoreau, Nietzsche and so on.
