ABOUT ME
Pfff.. I'm a guy who likes to (oh my god, this sounds corky!) sit in the sun with a glass of wine and some nice cheese.. Reading a book and some nice background music.. But on the other hand, love to be on a great party with friends, behave crazy, meet new people and jump into every possible adventurous (sometimes stupid) opportunity to feel why we I am living..
And why we're living, why we are on this planet thing?? I don't know.. But I know I'm very lucky to be in a position to consider and choose different types of happiness, dependent on the situation and the people around me.. I just love to live!
PHILOSOPHY
Anyone who takes himself too seriously always runs the risk of looking ridiculous; anyone who can consistently laugh at himself does not.
