Welcome to my little bit of virtual space, created so that people from my past, present and future have a way of contacting me. A wise man once told me "Time is my only enemy", and to this day I still remember that moment vividly. I did some crazy things when I was younger - meditated, sitting in a karate suit and t-shirt, on the summit of a mountain in Switzerland; played in front of 3000 people with my big band; did thousands of pushups in ice-cold lakes and mountain rivers... Those memories stick, and define you. And if there's one thing I've come to realise since the passing of a good friend some time ago, it's that life, ends.
"Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul."
by William Ernest Henley (1849-1903)
Was born in Belgium, now living in London... who knows where I'll end up one day. New York? Tokyo? Mars? I'd like to see as much of the world as possible cause I like to see things with my own two eyes. Two commonly used questions in my world are "Why?" and "How?".
"It takes courage to grow up and turn out to be who you really are." - E.E.Cummings.
