About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To couchsurf at the Vatican, in Benedicts couch.

ABOUT ME

Although it is generally known, I think it's about time to announce that I was born at a very early age. Before I had time to regret it, I was four and a half years old. Now that we are on the subject of age, let's skip it. It isn't important how old I am. What is important, however, is whether enough people will visit this site to justify my spending the remnants of my rapidly waning vitality in writing it. [Groucho]
When I was younger I wanted to become a doctor. I guess my parents brainwashing worked for the time. After that I decided to get involved with artificial intelligence, but I was dissapointed when I discovered that it can't beat natural stupidity. For the time being I think I like journalism, and that is the field that I study and work at.

Well, besides that, I guess that I'm an easy-going person, but I was never the type of a guy that would get him self in any trouble. Many friends of mine complain that noone can have a serious conversation with me because I am always joking, but that's not true. (no I guess to a point it is, I'm just joking).

I think I will stop talking now before you think I am a total crank. :P

I enjoy listening music, going out at bars, meeting new people. I love art in all of it's forms.

PHILOSOPHY

Those are my principles. If you don't like them I have others. :P
