About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living day by day

ABOUT ME

Well, donno what to tell, so i'll write my history.
30 yrs old, born and raise in a small place (called "moshav shilat"), a bit distinct, as much as distinct can be in the center of Israel.
When I was 18 went to the army, and started the service by 3 years of studying Computer Science in the Uni. Afterwards, another 6 years of Army service, and at the age of 27 - a free man. Since then, not really sure what i'm doing. Living in Tel-Aviv, Travelling from time to time, Working in IT part time, Volunteering in a group that helps to protect immigrants social rights.
Before the age of 30, I've decided it's time for a change (after 2 years of doing the same). Quit my job, left my apartment, gave my beloved dog to my parents custody, gave my car.
I went Volunteering in a kibutz which is located in the dessert. Been there before a few times during my army service. Great Atmosphere. I really really recommend it to whoever visits Israel (Called 'Neot Semadar'. google it). Now on my way to Berlin, not really sure why, and not really sure what will happen next.

That's about it about me :)

PHILOSOPHY

Trying to look ahead for a few days, no more than a week.

Live and let live. Everyone should do what ever they wanna do, as long they don't hurt the others. Pretty shallow, but I can explain a bit more, that's just the headline.

And karma. If people do stuff that does good to them and their surroundings, it will continue, and return to them in another way.

And life's a bitch. That one to.

All are slogans, but I stand behind it.
