About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

A really talented person, whose aptitudes are rather hard to define, and close to impossible to comercialize.

PHILOSOPHY

There should be an exercise where you should reinvent your own identity through time, that way you couldn't stay attached to the same one through your entire life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Interests

Interests:
Very few interests, lots of interest.

Movies:
I like film photography and sound separately. It's also good to watch films skipping through the bad parts, searching for it's interesting parts.

Music:
At this very moment i only like one song only. I like it a lot.

Books:
It's much harder to find the interesting parts, skipping through the un-interesting in books. The format itself seems to be its inflexion point.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen the future, and my hosts are in for a blast!

Teach, Learn, Share

I could never be a musician, because i couldn't find enough sweetness or drowsyness to make music.
That's why i always get the same feeling towards music: I'm missing something. i'll never find out the reason behind that sadness, i'd never want to find out. i don't want to know, i don't want to know everything.
I think i'm naturally the opposite to curious.
I like to let things be, without worring about how and why they are such.
this is what i was thinking about at this very moment, and i'd like to share it.
