VENI, VIDI, VELCRO : I came, I saw, I stuck around...

28 year old french guy, working in Athens for a customer service, after spending one year in Belfast, NI, and one year in Czech Republic. I try to be cosmopolite and to find my place in this little world, trying to be a better person, honest, reliable, but i'm just a human, and that's what we are all doing everyday, isnt it ? :)

Here are the 2 blogs which will tell you most of my two last years :

I'm looking to any people willing to discuss anything, but especially about art, books, movies, or their own views and lifestyle around the world.

Oh and if any greek speaking people has enough patience, i would do with a few lessons :)

I'm a movie buff, i write scripts, short stories, and movie reviews.

ALIAS / LOST / Nip-Tuck / The Shield... Not having any TV right now in my new flat, it's hard to follow any series unfortunatel​y.

Umberto Eco books are great, and my favorite is "Foucau​lt's Pendulum"​

Dashiell Hammett wrote some of the best hard-boiled novels and "Red Harvest"​ is just the top.

Marguerite Yourcenar revived an antiquity character like no one else in her "Memoir​s of Hadrian"​

Milan Kundera's "Joke"​ and "Unbear​able Ligthness of Being" are more than literature

and also :Blaise Cendrars, Simenon, Arto Paasilinaa, Franz Kafka, Chesterton, Strindberg, O.Henry, Victor Hugo, Alan Moore, and so on.

The only people who really enjoyed the world were busy breaking it up.
Orthodoxy, by G.K. Chesterton

The sound of trains off in the distance more or less made me feel at home, like nothing was missing, like i was at some place, never in significant place and that everything was fitting together.
Chronicles I (Bob Dylan)

To stay with my community, to pretend that I had simply to travel along with them, was to be taken with them to destruction.​ I could be master of my fate only if I stood alone.
A Bend in the River (V.S. Naipaul)

You want to know what I am, do you ? […] But I tell you this, that you will have found that the truth of the last tree, and the topmost cloud before the truth about me. You will understand the sea, and I shall be still a riddle ; you shall know what the stars are, and not know what I am. Since the beginning of the world all men have hunted me like a wolf – kings and sages, and poets and law-given, and all the philosophers​. But I have never been caught yet, and the skies will fall in the time I turn to bay.
The Man Who Was Thursday (G.K. Chesterton)
