About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Embrace insanity! Passion is salvation! There's only one chance, i try to use it well ;-)

ABOUT ME

Lisbon is my Favorite City in the whole world. It has all the magic, beauty and atmosphere a place needs. When you walk around downtown and watch the life around you, you'll be sucked into a different dimension and you suddenly feel alive. Lisbon is a Home, it's a big transparent untouchable illusion and yet you see it, touch it, smell it, hear it and it's taking you to another level of all senses. The sound of a legendary Tram 28 creates a feeling of belonging, it's a uneraseable sound which composes an era of endlessness- it once was there and it'll always be there, a security behind one's existence. Lisbon's illuminating lights and it's voice eventually turns into music in your ears. Standing still for a moment you can't help but wish that just one space behind all of those windows would belong to you! Well... maybe one day!

PHILOSOPHY

*Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see - Mark Twain

*I choose to live by choice not by chance, to make changes not excuses, to be motivated not manipulated, to be useful not be used, to excel not compete. I choose self-esteem not self-pity, I choose to listen to my inner voice not the random opinion of others.

*I'd rather be hated for who i am than loved for who i am not! - Kurt Cobain

*I am not a decorator, a packager... I am the author, the storyteller, the creator of meaning.

Interests

Who doesn't like movies? A very few don't. I love them! My collection has around 300 films- that includes motion pictures from USA, Brazil, Mexico, Spain, France, Portugal, Finland, Norway, Italy, Germany and a few more :)

Traveling? Anyone!? Of course we all do love it. I love gasping the air with strange scent in it. I love hanging around places i'd never end up at without the locals. I love walking around in strange places- it feels fresh. Have you ever woke up in a foreign place being confused where you are!? I have, loved it ;) (and i don't mean the moment after a drunken night).

Reading! Experiencing the unknown through many texts written by so much smarter people than me! Absolutely fascinating and ohh.. some make me so jealous ;)

Above all, isn't spending time with friends, going out, enjoying a concert or a night out one of the best things in the universe? The moment that makes our lives worthwhile. I adore those moments.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Thunder! Huge thunderstorm in Missouri. Enormously huge noise and ohh so many lightning bolts which made me feel like a broken lamp was twinkling somewhere in the sky. Amazing experience.

Fog in NY! I was sitting at a park in Brooklyn around midnight and Manhattan looked like a ghost town, completely buried in fog. In the meanwhile i saw drugs switching hands next to a bush about 20 meters from me... freaky!? oh jeah :)
