About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finding out how crazy this world really is

ABOUT ME

I'm schizophrenic...well maybe not clinically, but I feel like it. So much exciting things to do, and so little time.

A technical academic doing arts, a practical person with a spiritual mind.

I like meeting people IRL, so stop by! I prioritize surfers who stay more than 1 night, 2-4 is preferable.

PHILOSOPHY

"What's easy is not worth doing
what's cheap is not worth buying"

"If you worry about small things
you become a small person"

Interests

Environment
Nature
Trekking&adventures
Music
Martial Arts (aikido)
Live Roleplaying
Didjeridoo *I'm expert!*
Films
Fire performance
Massage (I'm trained in shiatsu)

12 REASONS to CARE for the ENVIRONMENT

Because nature holds more BEAUTY than ANY ART MUSEUM in the world and you would not burn down an art museum, would you?

Because a changed climate can send 100s of millions off as REFUGEES from flood and drought

Because MOTHERS MILK already contains enough human-made TOXIC COMPOUNDS to be labeled “unsuitable as human feed€œ yet, it is the best you can give a baby

Because WATER is more valuable than oil

Because SOLAR PLANTS are a whole lot NEATER than coal power plants€œ and are bound to be our CHEAPEST option in the future

Because this is FREEDOM

...and this isn't

Because ACID RAIN will turn us into ALIENS
(OK, this is not really scientifically proven)

Because those who eat LESS MEAT LIVE LONGER
(This IS scientifically proven)

Because RESOURCE DEPLETION leads to WAR

Because SHOPPING is addictive, stressing and does NOT give long-term SATISFATION

Because there is only ONE

  • arts
  • performing arts
  • beauty
  • environment
  • shopping
  • movies
  • socializing
  • music
  • martial arts

Music, Movies, and Books

I play in a reggae/hip-hop/balkan band (Johan&Djuret):

However, I like many kinds of music, from hard rock to folk music. Everything except the most commercial pop and repetitive techno torture `´

Films... oh, you better ask me live
