CURRENT MISSION

I should probably get organized

ABOUT ME

I'm addicted to sports and being active. But I enjoy hanging around and being lazy once in a while, too.
I'm pretty much interested in everything that’s new to me – curiosity could be my second name.
I have a weakness for ships, especially sailing ships.
I go insane when I hear knuckle-cracking.
I love to unwrap brandnew DVDs.
And I like random information.

PHILOSOPHY

"So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun." - Into the Wild

Music, Movies, and Books

movies:
everything Quentin Tarantino did, is GOLD (excluding Death Proof – I still believe the guy who directed the movie thought it was funny to pretend to be Tarantino), Big Fish, Into the Wild, Snatch, Trainspotting, Fight Club, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, The Beach, A Beautiful Mind, Donnie Darko, Butterfly Effect, Primal Fear, Garden State, The Big Lebowski, Forrest Gump, Good Will Hunting, Everything is Illuminated, Enduring Love, Frozen Land, ...
definitely just a few – I always enjoy conversations about movies and recommendations!

books:
Franz Kafka, Hermann Hesse, Rainer Maria Rilke, Shakespeare, Jonathan Safran Foer, …

Teach, Learn, Share

what I can teach: how to wiggle your ears
what I totally wanna learn: skimming stones
what I like to share: happiness.
Anyway, generally I enjoy learning more then teaching.
