About Me

Hello ladies and gentlemen! This is Andreas, or the Dude, or Duder, or His Dudeness, or El Duderino(if you've seen the Coen Brothers' film called "The Big Lebowski", you know what I'm talkin' about).I'm a Homo sapiens from Heraklio, Greece. Some people refer to my city as the greatest and most glorious one in the history of mankind.............. NOT! Anyway, my city is not the issue here. I was born in 1985 and I'm still mad at my parents for not being born some years earlier, because that way I would have had the opportunity to remember myself living during the coolest decade of the previous century... the 80's(I have proof for that). Now my brain database consists only of experiences from the 90's and the 00's, which were mediocre decades in terms of coolness.I have had a great time for the most part of my life so far, and this is because I had the privilege to be associated with some great human beings(probably Homines sapientes, too**). I hope this stays that way for ever. As for now, I continue living in Heraklio, because I am a student at the Computer Science Department of the University of Crete. I hope this won't stay that way for ever(there is a whole new world waiting to be discovered outside the University's hazy walls***).That's all for now.Cheers,
The Dude.**Homines sapientes is the Latin plural of Homo sapiens.
***I should have become a poet, I know.

My Interests

Music = both as a listener and as a musician
Basketball = both as a watcher and as a player(for fun)
Guitar stuff and gear = because I want to own great instruments and other pieces of musical equipment
Journalism = because I 'm interested in it and also because it is something that disturbs me when not done correctly
Women = because they are the only ones who can make you forget everything mentioned aboveBASKETBALL VIDEOS
Theodoros Papaloukas: Greek national team, CSKA Moscow
Dimitris Diamantidis: Greek national team, Panathinaikos

I'd like to meet:

Allan Holdsworth and Scott Henderson:
... because they are my favorite musicians and guitar players, and also because they seem to be great people to go out and have some drinks with. To me, Henderson is the greatest guitar player on Earth, while Holdsworth is the greatest one outside Earth(his musical language is so unique that nobody can come even close to what he's doing - he is a musical genre by himself). I had the chance to see Holdsworth playing live twice, and Henderson playing live 3 times, and I feel thankful for that.Eric Johnson:
... because I want to sit in front of him, and enjoy everything that will come out from his fingers. Nobody touches a musical instrument, like Eric Johnson touches the electric guitar. It's a kind of magic!Will Ferrell, Ben Stiller, and the other members of Frat Pack:
... because I love comedies and those guys are simply great actors(or "mind bottling", as Ferrell would say). I don't know how to express it, I just love their movies!David Lee Roth:
... because he is the most awesome 80's rock icon ever...Dimitris Diamantidis and Theodoros Papaloukas:
... because they are the best playmakers in Europe and the two leaders of my favorite team, the Greek national basketball team. Thanks for all the nice memories, guys!Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson:
... because I want to know what true legends are like and also because they are the greatest basketball players ever... Period.

Music:

Well, this is a very important part of my life. In case of an emergency situation, I will probably be able to live without my mum's lovely pastitsio(a delicious Greek recipe), but I won't be able to live without music.I am an electric guitar player and I really love my instrument. I like to play and listen to almost every kind of music, especially jazz fusion, blues/rock and R'n'B.Below you can see some of my favorite musicians and performers:Guitar players
