ABOUT ME

--
Geeky, Introvert, Caring, Competitive, Sarcastic, Idealistic, Openminded
*Totally* new to London - want to learn new people, visit around and have a good time!

shall I write an autobiography, I'll paste it here :P

PHILOSOPHY

--
To overcome pain and suffering for me and those surrounding me, to constantly aim and work for personal and social transformation.

I strongly denounce violence, be it physical, economical, sexual, racial, religious, psychological or whatever form it can take. Bring peace to oneself and to society, believe to the heart and through actions in the equality and freedom of people.

Understand and reconcile with the past, be strong and work hard in the present(for your goals I mean!) and have faith in creating the better future.

Music, Movies, and Books

--
Movies: Clockwork orange, Dr Strangelove, 2001 Space Odyssey, La vita è bella, Matrix I, The Intouchables (a real gem!), Whiplash
For now I can't remember many more movies I really enjoyed (but I really know many that were truly awful) while some friends of mine have come to the conclusion that I just don't like cinema.

Music: be it Rock, Jazz, Metal, Classical or sth else, I like melodiοus and/or strong sounds. (although I hate black and death metal)

Books: I've read a lot from Victor Hugo and Fyodor Dostoyevsky and I enjoyed them very much.
Les Misérables, L'Homme qui rit (The man who laughs) and Crime and Punishment would stand out.
Also: Gandhi's and MLK's autobiography, Foucault's Pendulum (Eco)
