I am 34 years old or young. I write a lot, poems and prose mostly, and recently I started to write my first book. It is a challenging and very exciting journey. I sang in different bands before, but I stopped because of different problems in the last band a little over a year ago. My life has been very vagabond-like when it comes to jobs, education etc. I have worked in kindergartens and at a sematary, so there are two poles just there. Once I played theatre for a while, but soon I found out that I did not like the process of learning and playing a role. Actually it was a bit scary because I was too good at it and found myself losing grip of myself while doing so. I have also painted a lot, mostly in the past but i am slowly beginning again, and I have gone to some courses about drawing, painting, zink and copper etching, ceramics and woodcut.I am a shy person, which I once considered an inhibition but now thinks of as how I am on/off depending on the situation etc. I am very curious about many things, and I have re-found my old passion for learning after rehabilitation (due to personal stuff which I might or might not talk about depending on the relevance). Reading is one of my main interests/pleasures. Authors like Elias Canetti, who has written the amazing work "Crowds and Power" and also one of the most beautiful self-biographies I know, to read these two is highly recommended if you want to read something truly enlightening, Italo Calvino who wrote "The Invisible cities" and many other fabulous books, Joseph Brodsky..s essays and memories about living in a tiny apartment with his parents in Russia before he went to live in exile, Herta Müller writing about her own experiences and her strange prose developed during the horrors of Ceausescu, Jorge Luis Borges.. indescribable brilliance, he was Italo Calvino..s favourite writer and I can understand that, Julian Barnes.. books, the wonderfully provoking books by Georges Bataille, Kurt Vonnegut, especially for "Slapstick" but also everything else I have read by him, Milan Kundera..s book "The immortality" and I could go on, but I have to stop somewhere so I do. If you have any books you love, I would like to hear about them. But enough about me now, first and foremost I like the dialogue and the things which can only come through that. Take care.How much of this do you think is fiction?
