CURRENT MISSION

freeing my mind

ABOUT ME

I (hopefully) am a nice and polite person trying to take myself not too serious but serious enough even if i find it hard to know the difference from time to time. I think i am rather uncomplicated for i try not to expect others to behave to my pleasure. In general i am communicative and i like to hear new things even if i have my quiet times when prefer to be alone (kinda usuall thing, isn't it ?). I try to keep up my selfreflection. Maybe there are times when i think too much -.-

My hometown is Trier which is a city in western germany very close to luxemburg. (Lots of roman architecture)

PHILOSOPHY

Treat other people like you would like to be treated.
So for me that would be: fair, open minded, direct, honest, no silly games, respectful, leave everyone be who she or he is...

I don't think theres not much more when it comes to people. For myself: staying clear and open in mind, trying to find out what and who is really important to me, finding the right circle of persons to take care of. I try to have not to much prejudices...sometimes i fail but im giving my best.

Interessen

Music would be number one interest and the thing which consumes the biggest part of my time. I play the guitar (or at least i try it), i'm a tenor in different choirs (classic and modern) and there are some other instruments i have more or less practice in playing them. The music i listen to varies from classic to dixieland to folk rock to power metal...i try to stay open minded. Further i like good food and funny company :)
Nature is very important to me!
There are a lot of things more...a friend of mine once stated that i am "interested in everything and nothing" which is kinda true- I like to learn new things but i probably could never stick with just one thing. If this one thing existed it would be music i think...nothing which touches the heart more than the right music at the right moment.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

Difficult...many. Tim Burton movies, Monty Python related stuff, Zatoichi, Unbreakable, Princess Mononoke, many more...

Books: Das Museum der gestohlenen Erinnerungen (i don't know if there exist any translations), The Wild Hunt series, LOTR, Das Lied der Dunkelheit (and the following books), The Gospel according to Biff, things written by Fred Vargas, The Alchemist, the Blade of the immortal and Vagabond manga series...and again...many more which i read through the years. I like books...

Music: i wrote about that before but i try to make some examples.

Mozart in general, Haydn, Händel, Schandmaul, Flogging Molly, Skyclad, Blind Guardian, Gammaray, Simon and Garfunkel. Lots of single songs.
Variety is the keyword for my likings ^^

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Done: taking part in a performance of the 2nd Mahler symphony as a tenor with a huge amount of other people, an outstanding orchestra and conductors, between 300 and 400 singers and the whole ensemble did such a good job, that it could make you cry, when you are in the right mood.
Seen: on an outdoor-trip in sweden we lived on an island in a big sea and one day the sea was so flat it was like beeing in the middle of two skies when you looked into the water. amazing picture...unfortunately i don't have a good one on camera.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

There's nothing i certificated to teach but i know a little bit about mathematics ;). I can share thoughts...mostly about human interaction, society, life, philosophic things...because that's what i think about the most so hopefully i developed some sense for it...maybe i didn't after all -.- Probably a lot of knowledge no one will ever really need. I'd love to try teaching the basics of playing the guitar or maybe the saxophone, but i did that only once so i can't promise i am good at it.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

Lots of experiences with different choirs and musicians, thoughts about the languages i put some effort in. Wild speeches about privacy safety ;) (my mathematical speciality is cryptography).
Maybe some recipes because i love to cook!
