ABOUT ME

I'm a french traveling, laughing, discovering and thinking being.
I lived in Germany and Austria for a while. Now I'm a volunteer in Bucharest for an environmental NGO (I'm the IT guy)
I like to talk, to listen, to think, to help.
People usually say I'm quite funny... For me It's just a particular sensitivity to life's absurdity :D
I can get quite intellectual sometime. I have this bad habit to think that I contracted as a philosophy studient - if it's getting annoying just offer me a beer for I don't hold alcohol that much... ;)

"Erst wenn alles scheiße egal ist, macht das leben wieder Spass" Element of crime

Music, Movies, and Books

To stay with the essential I love Vicente Minelli, Woody Allen and Alex Corti's films. Also, Die fetten jahren sind vorbei and a lot of others... Usually anything with some black humour works great on me...
I listen to a lot of music, I mean rock, hip hop, classic, jazz, a bit of electro, chansons françaises...
My favorite are Dire Straits / Georges Brassens / Rachmaninov / Georg Kreisler / Jean Ferrat / Element of crime / Diam's / Sarah Vaughan / IAM / Billie Holiday / Parov Stellar...

Regarding books I've read a lot of Michel Foucault, Spinoza and Bergson during my study and I still have nostalgic feelings about them... Now I'm more into stuff like Krishnamurti or Adyashanti. Still some philosohy or economics... I'm also reading a lot about energy and climate change...
Absurdity seems to be something I like very much :D So my favorites Books are: The master and Marguerite from Bulgakov and A Confederacy of Dunces from J.K. Toole

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Working as a lock keeper for 4 mouths. 9 hours a day on a canal where no boat ever pass... So it turns out you can be hired for meditation, playing guitar, reading and writing...

Climbing at night on a church using renovation's scaffolding to end up at the very top of its arrow.

Living one years in a three floors house with 7 other person in Witten (Germany)
