I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I hate talking about myself, but i am trying to follow this credo: ...... I will not serve that in which I no longer believe whether it call itself my home, my fatherland or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use, silence, exile, and cunning......James Joyce, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

My Interests

Cinema über alles...and then the theatre...and travelling of course...talking to strangers...visiting and reading at airports, stations, parks, cafes...

I'd like to meet:

...the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.......Jack Kerouac
