About Me:
I'm normally pretty easy to get along with. I'm here looking for some friends from all over with whom I may have interesting and meaningful conversations with.
Requests:
Anyone who has anything interesting to say -- please... say it!
If I write to you asking a question, please write back (at least, just to answer the question) : that's rude if you don't. I won't bite, and I promise I'm not a creep either; so please don't judge me as one before you even speak to me.

Favorite Music:
All kinds of music, it just depends what I'm in the mood for. The most important thing that I look for is the lyrics, the rest comes after that. If they have no lyrics, I look to the rhythm which it begins to coalesce with the heartbeat.
Favorite Movies:
The Persuit of Happyness
Forrest Gump
300
Public Enemies
The Last Samauri
Legends of the Fall
Saving Private Ryan
The Terminal
Anything with Johnny Depp in it

Favorite Quotes:
“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.”
“I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestioned ability of a man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor.”
“It was a wise council I once heard given to a young man; always do what you are afraid to do.”
“A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone.”
“If you can say what you will never hear, if you can write what you will never read, you have done a rare thing.”
“Courage is loving someone else more that you love yourself.”
“Die the way you lived: All of a sudden.”
“Poor is the pupil who does not surpass his master.”
“And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.”
“The good life is inspired by love and guided by knowledge.”
“If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change.”
“There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.”
“Life is like an onion: You peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep.”
“When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other.”
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore,
is not an act but a habit.”
“How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.”
“The best way out is always through.”
“Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking.”

"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new."
"The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking."
"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us 'universe', a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
“It is never too late to give up your prejudices.”
“That man is the richest whose pleasures are the cheapest.”
“When a dog runs at you, whistle for him.”
“There is no remedy for love but to love more.”
“Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life. Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something.”
“Things do not change; we change.”
“Have the courage to live. Anyone can die.”
"To live in this world, you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go”
"Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts."
“I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.”
“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”
...And anything else that bares testament to many of life's occurrences as one

cos, i have just left my job...
Dramatic design and art sounds lovely... what exactly does that entail? I'd love to hear about it. I can appreciate any sort of art, visual or otherwise. And yes, I am a student right now. Although I'm not really sure the direction I'm headed... I feel a bit lost at times, but I suppose I'm just enriching my mind in the meantime and I've got lots of time to figure things out.
That's the purpose of life to some extent I think: happiness and making others happy. I would have to agree with your admirations as well! The first is particularly intriguing.

Hey Greg. SOunds that you had a lot of exciting stuff in the last weeks :D
We do celebrate Halloween here in Germany but not that much like it is celebrated in America ^^
We have children here who go from house to house and say "trick or threat" (don´t know if it is spelled right? XD)
and also some halloween parties in the clubs. But not everyone celebrates it and there are also people who don´t like it when you ring their bell and ask for candy. The last time I did this(was 8 years ago) one old man wanted to call the police because of this =(
For me everything is like usual. I have to study to get good grades and have therefore not very much time left for other things. I go to the gym as often as I can to get more muscles and be fit .I think about celebrating new year in another coutry. In a capital city. I bet it´s awesome there in every country =D
That´s everything new from me.
Hope you will have sucess in your new things and in practicing languages .
greetings

It was OK. I am spending time for nothing...
I think you may be giving me too much credit... I'm really quite boring. What do I admire? Well, many things. But I suppose if I had to narrow that down I would say art, which is still a rather broad topic when you consider how many forms of art there are. And I admire the creative individuals that make art.
And what is it that you admire?

Hey :)
Well, the landscape is quite beautiful... But I live in a small town north of Stockholm and life here is boring, boring and cold!
How's life in Pennsylvania then?

well thanks! What gives you the impression that I have interesting thoughts... if anything, my profile is boring and lacks personality.
It is all right, what about you?
Haha, I liked him in Troy. Perhaps my reasons for enjoying that movie differ from the male gender.
I love the movie Legends of The Fall. :)
