ABOUT ME
25y old guy, well more like 30 now , not that moody anymore, not planning a thing or rather planning and dumping plans for improvised ideas.
Here's what my friend says:
Helpful, open-minded and energetic. Very optimistic. A bit sarcastic , but that's something you'll easily get accustomed to once you know him - that's just his kind of humour.
PHILOSOPHY
Trying to be altruistic, though it's rally hard
As for my thoughts - constantly changing.
Greates motto ever ? "Erreneous thought is the staff of freedom"
Some other I like:
"All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible." T.E. Lawrence
"The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion."
Albert Camus
"Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes."
Mahatma Gandhi - a bit similar to the "motto" if you ask me ;)
"Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for."
Epicurus
“Those who think they can and those who think they can’t are both usually right.”
Confucius

Interests
2019 Update:
Coding, web design and sustainable business models.
Music , good movies (though I don't like horrors), some of the social issues , KITES!, circus, juggling.
From 2010 I am a huge fan of juggling, however there is still many things i need to learn about it. I mostly juggle balls, but have the basics for clubs and rings as well. During the spring/summer period I take out my unicycle and uhm - cycle :P
Circus , circus and circus yet again. I enjoy good theatre as well, love dogs and enjoy being involved any skill exchange projects/ workshops!
Teching , non-formal education, sports in general.

Music, Movies, and Books
NO HORRORS - I can't sleep for like a week after each one/ others - SURE
, recently I enjoy absurd animations a great deal. I am a fan of retroscopic technigues and stop-motion animation as well.
BOOKs: invariably J. Irving; Frank Herbert and his Dune series (althogh I am not a big fan of Fantasy/S-F genres). It changed a bit, I am a huge fan of socially involded sf now. Oh and futurism is another thing I like.
I read quite a lot about the ideas and revolutionary movements as well.
Milan Kundera, Havel , Tolkien, Lewis, Murakami Wharton are authors whom I enjoy.
Lem, Orwell, Huxley etc...
Oh and when I finally sit down to it I am planning to do a degree in McCarthys books ;)
- didnt finnish that , but I still enjoy anything McCarthy writes.
Music : i can stand anything , currently into electronics, trip-hop , rock, and the most widely known popstars - Apparat, RJD2. Streets, Bat for Lashes , Freestylers, Julia Marcell, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Knife, Husky Rescue and so on
; 2012 update : not really much changed but I discovered some guitarists/vocalists - Fink , Lenka; as for other genres I love Saltillo and am crazy about The Green Album!
No changes in 2014 - my newest addition to playlist is Balkan , Finnish and Asian folk music.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Persuaded a ball obsessed border collie to run relatively toy-free in a dog park
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach you some coding - especially true for JavaScript / Golang / Python or simply explain how the Internets work.
I can somehow help you with English , Polish.
Give you an insight on Polish culture and show you around some cities in my motherland.
May give a hand with handstand .
You honestly can juggle and I can help you learn it! The same goes for unicycling, and some other circus disciplines. Theres plenty you can do that is very relaxing at the same time.
