!!Currently not at home, so unable to react.

Let us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a patient etherized upon a table;
Let us go, through certain half-deserte​d streets,
The muttering retreats
Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels
And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shell​s:
Streets that follow like a tedious argument
Of insidious intent
To lead you to an overwhelming​ question ...
Oh, do not ask, "What is it?"
 
Let us go and make our visit.
 
(From: The love song of J. Alfred Prufrock, by TS Eliot)
 

One of the best openings ever written of one of the best profiles… I mean poems, ever written. And so I chose to start with it, also because I like the in medias res opening, which fits a profile very well, in my opinion.

Anyhow, I am Tom, as you might have read, or guessed, already. My hobbies include jiu-jitsu, following the news and discussing actual subjects with people, and maybe reading, but not too much.

I have this annoying tendency to correct people, and I prefer people to correct me too, but not too much.

My main school subjects are Latin and mathematics;​ I can even prove that 2 equals –2. What do you say about that? Don’t believe me? Well then, check this out:
-2 = (-8)^(1/3) = (-8)^(2/6) = 6√[(-8)2] = 6√(64) = 2
⇒ -2 = 2
Impressive, isn’t it? Now then, whoever is up to the task, find the mistake in that reasoning. ;)

Oh, and girls, I'm taken. ;)

Just be able to talk English, French or Dutch well enough to have a decent conversation​. :)

*jiu-jitsu
*politics
*intelligent​ discussions on a wide variety of subjects
* etcetera

A wide range of songs, artists and genres, going from classic, over pop and metal to hard rock.

I don't really have one...Troy maybe?

I seldom watch TV, as I have little time; I guess the news and some National Geographic documentarie​s every once in a while will be all.

Dutch:
*Problemski Hotel van Dimitri Verhulst (onlangs gelezen, werkelijk schitterend)​
*De Aanslag van Harry Mulisch heb ik onlangs gelezen en vind ik literair gezien ook zeer sterk
French:
J'ai dû lire les titres suivants en école cette année:
*Le Coeur en poche
*Un Secret
*Respire
dont "Un Secret"​ était le meilleur.
English:
I haven't read any good English books recently, but I'm a big fan of the poetry of Eliot and Poe.

"Er zijn drie soorten mensen, de mensen die kunnen tellen, en de mensen die niet kunnen tellen"​ (van: geen idee)
