About Me

i don't like to talk about myself ;-) just kidding... currently working both in politics and in the film industry, my main passion is writing, though it's hard to make a living out of it (not to say impossible, at the moment ;-) ). i published a collection of short stories back when i was young, in 2002. i'm into old fashioned hard rock music, independent cinema, stupid teen comedies and postmodern literature.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

people with something to say and a decent sense of humour

time to begin...
