Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I'm making the potion which will keep me in life for 300 years...Enough time to explore all the corners of Earth...
ABOUT ME
So, i'm Mike, nice to meet you! Born in Athens and lived there until i was nine years old. Until 17 years old i was living in Kalambaka(under Meteora). After finishing school, i went to college in Tripoli(Peloponnese). I have studied telecommunications
and a very strange(and of course lucky) thing was that even before taking my diploma, in age of 22 i have had my own job.I'm working on telecommunication cellular base stations as a technician (operation&maintenance, field service). I like very much this job, because the things i have learned and the things that will learn are very, VERY much. Another reason is that is non boring job at all. Every day, a different place to visit(most of them on mountains and generally in nature). It's is a very adventurous job and sometimes this is a disadvantage; driving for too many hours alone on mountains with storms or heavysnowing to places that the last house you saw was 30 kilometers away is not the safest thing..
Ok, some things that will give you a picture of myself:
- I'm not selfish
- I have a lot of patience in my backpack
- Most times i'm extremely calm. In a rare situation that i am not, i can get extremely angry
- I have open mind and always seeking new thinks to taste.
- I can't easily hide my emotions, this is mostly a disadvantage..
- I don't like to mess in anyones life and i hate when others do this to me
- I don't believe in money, but of course this is what makes the world go around(money and women,to be accurate!)
- I'll help a man as much as i can, without even be a close friend, and without looking for a reward. But if i feel that this man is trying to get and get without intentions to give,i simply go away of this man
- I'm extrovert and again, this becomes many times
a disadvantage
SOME DREAMS:
- To die at an age of 80-90 years and having as many experiences as possible
- I want to build a stone house about 10 miles of any town, with a lot of land and near a forest
- I want to stop seeing bad things to happen mostly on good and poor people.I want a clear and rightful system to govern, not a system that makes the poor man, poorer and the wealth man ,wealthier. Of course this seems not possible because the simple truth that man is greedy and a great lover of power at all forms..It's a shame that have existed true democratic and non corrupted societies 2500 years before and this achievement seems too unreachable nowadays..
- I want to make a healthy and beautiful family.If i can't do this it's ok if i stay alone in this shitty world with 4 gorgeous women for all kind of entertainment(and living with me in the stone house(see above))!!!
Interests
I believe that interests come and go as you grow up, but many of them are the same and are strengthening throw years pass. Some of my interests are:
-In athletic section i like very much: snowboarding, tennis, climbing, paintball, hiking. I like (but less than very much): basketball, bicycle, running and swimming
-I like going out with friends(or alone).I think this is very important for all societies and in all places to go out doing many thinks and try having good time. Don't forget that this is the best way to meet people and have more experiences, and will be the best way for many years. Facebook and msn are useful tools but can't replace at all the social needs that every human being has.
-When i'm home: i like reading books, i like modeling and painting miniatures, i like watching movies or documentaries but generally, i HATE Television. In fact
i turn my T.V. on about once or twice in a week and in most cases this times are after i have in my hands a good movie/documentaries in a dvd disc
-I like driving; i have a job that demands a lot of driving, but in a strange way, while Km indicator in my car inclines, i want to drive more. Of course, i don't like driving under all circumstances. I dislike driving in a town with a lot of traffic and i am getting boring when driving for too long in highways. But i adore driving on mountains or anywhere that signs of nature reigns..Off road driving is a main interest i have and also a great part of my job.
-I like very much, when the company is good, to go for camping (in organized camp sites or not). I find it interesting to feel sometimes how it is (even for a few days) to live without electricity and all the stuff that a town gives you.This teaches you that are many simple thing that man can do for having a good time!
-I like agriculture. The truth is that is my first approach in this but i'm sure that this will be a main interest in future. I already have read some books and my first attempts growing tomatoes, apples, peppers and strawberries(and all of this on my balcony!) seems to be very positive!
