ABOUT ME

Marcel Duchamp, when asked to define himself, he replied, "I am a réspirateur (a breather). I enjoy it tremendously and been very good at it". :) I always liked the quote from one of Herzog's documentaries where one man aptly describes himself as "full-time traveler, part-time worker... the professional dreamer". Alas, I'm part-time traveler, full-time worker, and when possible, a professional dreamer. Especially between 9-5 when its on company's dime. :)

PHILOSOPHY

The world is mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful. -E.E. Cummings.
In the midst of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer. Albert Camus
When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realized that the Lord doesn’t work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me. - Emo Phillips
There are those who say that scotch should not be drunk early in the morning. They are wrong.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Interests

Bass playing. \m/ \m/ Horn-Throwing. Extremely spicy food. Football (the one you play with feet). MMA. Pub conversations with friends resulting in one of those simple pearls of wisdom that only ever emerge when drink has been taken. Nursing Karamazovian hangovers late the next day.

Music, Movies, and Books

"The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" - greatest movie ever made. Then "Saragossa Manuscript", then "The Last Seduction" and last but not least "The City of Lost Souls" (Miike). Or maybe "Le Samurai". Or "Snatch". And "the Warriors". Or "White Sun of the Desert". All is relative of course, depending on the mood. Except for Clint Eastwood, Eli Walach and Lee Van Cleef masterpiece.

Reading good books is like making love. Reading bad ones is like masturbating. :)
