CURRENT MISSION

yalla!

ABOUT ME

i like to talk, chill, write, read, dive, climb, travel and party. i love peanut butter and huge thunder lightnings. i don't like ignorance, racism and tennis socks (but i'm a bit more tolerant towards the latter than the former). my favourite drink is 'tequila bad boy' (you lick tabasco instead of salt). when i grow up i want to be peter pan or huckleberry finn.

PHILOSOPHY

stay gold, ponyboy.

Interessen

pop culture, international politics, debates on justice, british sitcoms, modern art...well, actually about everything but space (astronauts, star trek etc.)

Musik, Filme und Bücher

music: right now i got my roots cd (how i got over) playing, bob dylan is next in line, then mgmt...quite a cocktail i'd say. oh yeah, not to sound pretentious or anything, but i honestly believe that beethoven's 7nd symphony, 2nd movement holds the world in its entirety.

books: i grew up in mississippi and neverland with huck and peter, visited uncle tom in his cottage, never killed a mockingbird and caught up with the catcher in the rye only to learn about the life according to garp. in my twenties i stumbled across jonathan franzen, zadie smith, naguib mahfouz, milan kundera, nick hornby, t.c. boyle, aravind adiga, irvine welsh, truman capote and chimamanda ngozi adichie. thanks to [...], good books stay with you forever.
