CURRENT MISSION

Have some fun while I'm still young and stupid.

ABOUT ME

I am an open-minded, absurdist, gentle, cunning, well meaning buffoon, which is not as bad as it sounds really. Shy at first, I will gradually warm up if fed alcoholic beverages, which will happen soon enough, trust me.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe Man makes up his own goals and reasons to live, and mine is to have some fun while I still can. And by "while I still can" I refer to the freedom one has before starting to accumulate responsibilities like a "career" or a "family" (or whatever it is old people have).

Interessi

- Motorcycle: I ride a 2007 Suzuki SV650S Sport Bike and a 2006 Suzuki Boulevard C50 Cruiser.
- Photography: I'm kind of a photography nut, the kind who stands in the cold for 1 hour just to take one picture, so it's pretty mild by photography nut standards.
- Cryptography: I'm quite fond of all the code breaking stuff, and I might end up making it my career.
- Playing the Guitar: just brought back my guitar from France after more than a year of separation.
- Acting: Well okay, all I really did is take these two acting classes in college and I also had a few roles in these yearly Boy Scouts plays way back when, but still, pretty interesting...
