About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I do have a bbq, I'm not a vegatarian, I do like to cook, I love evenings, I hate mornings, I don't smoke sigarettes, I do watch movies, I do drink beer, I do like those two last things at the same time, I do listen to music, I do like to travel, I do have a driving license, I do have a garden, I do love life.

PHILOSOPHY

Just let people relax and enjoy in every way they want to (as long it's not bothering ME :-) )

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach How to have a 180 m2 garden, how to make a mattress dispenser, how to brew a beer with sublime drinkability and have an enormous marketing campaign to have zillions of people drinking it (mainly the first part though), how to make a white picket fence out of a broken bed, how to miss the train, how to structurally peal an orange using a knife, how to fix the very basics of a yellow VW type3 van (only the yellow ones..)
Learn about reading good books, listening to even more good music, everything about cooking and how to make a living out of it.
