About Me

Adventurer, Explorer, lover of life and all its mysteries. I'm always down to have a good time, but I know when to be serious, too. Laughing is one of my favorite pasttimes. I'm pretty ambitious, I've got lots of plans for the future, but I know that somtimes you just gotta chill and remember to take some time to smell the roses. My body's always tryin to make me dance, my mind is always tellin me to pick up a book. Debating and arguing are sport to me, algunos amigos dicen que los hago demasiado, quizá tienen razón. I'm addicted to learning languages. I don't think there's a rehab for langueomanes, so who knows when I'll stop. I travel as much as possible; there is so much to see, I'll never get around to it all, but until my time here comes to an end, I'm gonna see as much of the world as possible. I'm a great listener, and care a lot about my friends. Most of them I don't see very often as they're scattered around the globe, but they all know I love them. I'm an independent person who shan't be caged. Unless of course there are whips and chains and blindfolds involved (hmmm, Witz, oder nicht? Wer weiss...). Total, soy un tío intentando disfrutar la vida y el mundo. Y si tengo el tiempo, conquistarlo también.

All systems go

I've snapped out of it, I'm back to normal. I was pretty upset about the state of things at the bank, my ipod breaking, my external harddrive breaking, meaning my music is gone. All of the...

swallowing the sea

I am swimming in a sea of depression, paddling, Kicking, looking for shore. It was here yesterday. Somehow, it has faded over the horizon. Beyond my grasp. The more I swim, the deeper I sink. T...

el fin de semana o quiero pasar el día dormiendo

Bebí mucho el sábado. Me levanté al sonido de desayuno cocinando: mi amiga Dina y su novio Tom se quedan conmigo mientras él está de visita en Berlin. Yo pensé ¿por qué no compro una...
