About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To go and study music and dance.

ABOUT ME

I'm honest and I like having honest interactions with people.
I'm sociable, friendly and spontaneous.

PHILOSOPHY

Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense. ~ Buddha

Resistance is useless! ~ Vogons (THHGTTG, Douglas Adams)

If you intend to be of assistance, your eye is not upon the trouble but upon the assistance, and that is quite different. ~ Abraham Hicks

What you Be, you Exude. ~ Abraham Hicks

Time is an illusion. Lunch time doubly so. ~ Ford Prefect (THHGTTG, Douglas Adams)

Interests

Skiing, dancing, poetry, photography, nature, people.

Music: I sing and play piano. I have a crazy passion for music, it makes me feel and express things that send shivers down my spine and explosions through my heart into my blood through my fingers/voice. This energy to create something new, letting it inspire me to go somewhere new and unexplored. It's so exciting.

Spontaneous trips.

It takes me into a really amazing world where anything is possible, nothing is to be taken too seriously and not laughing is impossible. DON'T PANIC!! :D
