seek the truth. knowledge is power. dare to be different.
speak your mind. endless passion and ambition.
sleep when you're dead. be extraordinary.
seize the day.

Friday, October 24th, 2008Well, I am in Moscow at the moment, alone in a random bar / nightclub drinking a cool Stella and watching buxom Russian blondes gyrate to dance music.
