CURRENT MISSION

To convince people all around the world that toilet paper should be fed from the top

ABOUT ME

Recently came back home to Israel after about a year of working in the US.
Currently living in Be'er Sheva, attending Ben Gurion University studying chemical engineering.
I like to play the guitar, read, watch movies and have used my last days in the US to take up skydiving.

PHILOSOPHY

"There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizzare and inexplicable.
There is another which states that this has already happened."
-Douglas Adams
