About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Short term mission: be!

ABOUT ME

I don't see the point in fretting about things. Some one I never met said, ''nothing is so bad that a stiff drink, a decent conversation or a joint can't fix.'' And I agree with her.

I also enjoy a good political debate, love animals, and smile to the face of the world as it throws problems at me. Makes it angrier :)

I'm a Creative Director with a long Agency and freelance Design background currently working in a US based company. Also I studied Law, and worked as a Paralegal before ı graduated (Hated the job :)) I also worked as a Bartender, DJ, Reporter, Clerk, IT (and some more). I like playing games, sitting at home and relaxing. I had enough time to live the night life for 10 years and now I'm chillin :)

I love meeting with new people, getting to know them and understand the way their minds work. Add something to myself with every person I get to know and try to give something of me to them too.

As for my hobbies, I love riding my Motorcyle. That is basicly what I do here to free my mind. Other than that I like chilling on some smooth music and smoking a joint, doing graphic design, playing games, walking orriding around without any specific direction, even get lost just to see new places, then go home to chill and smoke a joint over some nice late night conversation with a stranger, movies, music, reading (which I cannot find the time for :( ) going out to calm places with friends and having conversations and mostly chilling and thinking. Did I mention I love to chill and smoke over some smooth music and a nice conversation ?

I am, at least trying to be a nice and decent person with manners.

I love riding my motorcycle as much as I can. And since my work is my life now, (Seriously, I'm living there...) that is my favorite hobby at the moment. To just ride to somewhere. Doesnt matter where or how long.

Other than that, I have been hosting Erasmus students and foreign guests in my flat for a few years now. I love to meet new people, learn about new cultures.

Well to think about it now there are millions of things I can type here but I guess It's better for you to just ask me :D (A bit of lazyness, yes but mostly I have too much work to do right now. Maybe I can update soon :D)

PHILOSOPHY

Live the life as good as I can. Go with the flow when I can fight against it If I have to. Have Long term ideas but short term plans. Grab every oppurtunity life throws at me.

But mostly, just be.
