About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet people

ABOUT ME

I'm just happy to enjoy the life and his opportunities. I like to figure out and imagine the things I don't know yet.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm tired of entertainment, I don't consider life like that. I prefer to settle down somewhere in order to discover countries and people than travel like a tourist. For instance, staying three days in Egypt in order to take pictures of pyramids makes no sense to me. I want to experience situations in a deeper way.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like indie-rock music so much and I admire bands who tried to change the things. I use to listen to Sonic Youth, Pavement, Sebadoh, Cat Power, Guided by voices, Low, Joy Division, The Smiths, Blur, The Cure, Dinosaur Jr, Hüsker Dü, X, The Saints, Television, REM (in the 80's), Placebo (two first albums), Mazzy Star, Galaxie 500, Camera Obscura, The Velvet Underground, The Beatles, Interpol, Idlewild, The Horrors, Best Coast, Veronica Falls, Electrelane...A few movies:The Kid, Eternal Sunshine, Léon (the professional), The Shawshank Redemption, Children of Men, Juno, Arizona Dream, Festen, Control, The Truman show...+ movies made by Cohen brothers and Albert Dupontel (French director for the last one, crazy and great). I watch series like Six feet under and Breaking bad recently and I can enjoy girly stuff like How I met your mother. I also like Miyazaki's animation movies.
I like to read sometimes but it's still tricky for me to choose a book in a shop, I like "On the road" (Jack Kerouac) but my favourite one could be "La promesse de l'aube" by the French writer Romain Gary.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I use to read inside cat's mind, mostly when they're hungry ;)

I can give you some tips about french language and talk about music during many hours if you don't stop me.
