Important Events



My Interests

Myspace Contact Tables

Listening to music (mainly Hard Rock and all sorts of Metal), watching my favorite Greek football team play (Olympiacos F.C.), going to the movies (some times) or watching movies (mainly Horror/Mystery/Scifi) at home (more often), watching "weird" documentaries (I'm a sucker for the Paranormal - U.F.O.'s, ghosts etc), hanging out with my longtime buddies (Manos, Alex and Dimitris) in Athens - or with Nikos in Rhodes and other stuff...

I'd like to meet:



I'm always open to meeting friendly people, whether that's from the music industry (bands, managers etc) or anywhere. Arrogant people with an ego the size of God's balls (granted that there is a God...) can stay away. My life's just fine without them.
