About Me

NOW PLAYING: Carl Cox, String Theory!!
Flying over San Francisco:

On My Way to Key West:
Ugh! Writing personal summaries is _so_not_ my favourite! Tempting to write nonsense here.. i don't want to fit in a box. Let's just say: I'm not interesting, I just serve as a bad example for others. :-P wow - before myspace, I didn't even know that I had ANY friends - ha ha ;-) sometimes I like strange T-Shirts, e.g.: "I'm busy, You're ugly, Have a nice day!" , "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups!" , another one says: "No, I will not fix your computer!" :-) OK, something positive.. here are some nice views from FLYING .... Nothing beats the sunset at 10000 feet to the tunes of my iPod! if you're curious about my hobbies, just ask me - I did a lot of things so far, including flying airplanes upside-down, DJing.. TANZEN BIS DER ARZT KOMMT!!! I happen to have very good parking-karma :-) I'll try anything once or twice....ohhh.... and i don't like popularity contests - seriously!

My Interests

FLYING! , AEROBATICS!! (flying upside-down ROCKS!), high-performance and complex airplanes (cars are sooo boring!), war-birds, billiards, DJing, dancing, sushi, izakaya, onsen, beer, black t-shirts, movies, hiking, karate, sauna, massage, rollerhockey+blading, travelling, scuba diving, photography, whipping computers into submission!

I'd like to meet:

Aliens! The Dalai Lama! smart people, fun people, giving people, people who are not too afraid of flying.. ;-) , pilots, sexy co-pilots, girls that kick ass and have a good heart.. My Little Aerobatics Movie:
