ABOUT ME

Well... what can I say about me?

graduated from McGill University in Social Work.

Comming from Middle East obliges me to be very nice to my guest and to be respectful and appreciaitive to how provide me a couch, also, I am a bit shy and untidy to be the perfect couchsurfer (wich doesn't mean that I don't know what being a guest - or a host - means!), but after all I think I can be a good companion.

Oh, yes, I love traveling (do I need to say it?), also I am really curious about other cultures and my hope to see the most I can of this oblate spheroid named Earth

Interests

This part risks to be too long - I'm not so sure that I would want to write it.

I just can say that I generally like cinema, in a rather visceral way that trascends reason.
I like BEING in a cinema, just as much as I HATE any sclerotized film theory - and the sort of snobbist attitude that often goes with them.
Sure, I love the films of Resnais, Goddard, Antonioni or Von Trier (between many others); but I'd just be a liar if I said that I disdain huger and lighter "hollywoodian" productions.
Besides, I can't say that I'm a real movie geek: there are still so many films that I need (and I want) to see!

Music is my love. It is pure emotion and spirit. My greatest regret is that I don't belong to the accolytes of those arts, the musicians (not yet, I'll learn to play something decently somedays). I try to be the most open that I can about music: I use to listen to almost all that's worth listening - and that is not too commercial - , from metal to classical and from italian cantautori to the pychedelics noises of Mars Volta, to Middle Easter music like Oudist Anwar Ibrahim.

Anyway I can't hide a predilection for progressive rock, and some difficulty to understand so called "musics" such as rap, hip hop, techno and house.

For what concerns the books... what to say?
I have a few time for reading, and the pile of "Books That I Started Reading But Then For Some Reason I Didn't Finish", of "Books That I'll Read When I'll Finish The Next Exams Sesson" and of "Books That I Absolutely Want To Start Reading But I Never Have The Time" on my beside table reminds that lifetime is limited...
