About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Gain some XP to unlock some perks and then use these to start traveling world before I'm 30

ABOUT ME

Successful but bored weirdo.
I am super-successful but I am bored to death. I got BS in Maths and Physics when I was 21. Had plenty of girlfriends, had serious relationships, travelled half of Europe, declined 10+ PhD offers and job offers, earning well. Still bored to death... If we were living in medieval ages I would try becoming mercenary probably...

PHILOSOPHY

I was dice man for 4 years. Quitted rolling dice in October 2012. After succeeding at anthing you want you realize that life is actually too easy to be true. It's as if playing a PC-FRP game in easiest mode. Deciding there is no fun in following the game's plot you start to do random stuff. Roll dice to decide what double major to do and etc... I live for the experience, nothing less nothing more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ha Long Bay. Never seen something so beautiful before or since.

Some amazing thing I've done could be that I tossed a coin to answer one of my girlfriend's `do you want this relation to go on` question. I was lucky she was not.

Teach, Learn, Share

How does credit card check the password you entered is correct is one of my best pickup lines. I have all sorts of nerdy-weirdo knowedge about everyday phenomena like why is sun red when it sets and why do we normally sleep once in 24 hours?
