WHO AM I?

       

I'm old. I'm 67. I used to be a big 29 year old guy. Why 29? Because from that age, I started counting in months. I did this until I reached the age of 29 and 134 months, and then, as people started to look at me like "you're not 29...", I said I'm 57. Well, 57 minus 210 months. But now I say 67. Later I'll be 72 like Jacks. Oh well... I was born October 8th 1962. There ! Go ahead and figure ! 

I live in Belgium. I was born here and always stayed around. It is a good start to travel everywhere else. For other details about my life, studies etc, see my CV. I live with my husband Moonee since 1985, we enjoy good food, our family, good friends, good wine and good stuff on screens. We're what we call in french "bons vivants" and plan to stay that way for many, many years to come.

WHAT DO I LIKE ?

I am a very open person. I like to meet new people, socialize, have fun. I love to go out to eat, invite people at home, go to the movies and see them in my also home theater, good tv series, read, paint a little, write a little too, play computer or other games. I love good wines and we have a great wine cellar at home. I like holidays, meeting people, learning about people's lives, what they love and why. I like making new friends, meeting their friends and learning from them. I like inviting people, organising parties, loving people and being loved.

WHAT DO I HATE

Hypocrits, pretentious people who think they know everything and despise people who don't think like them, untolerance, the few japanese and norwwwegians who still kill or eat whales, also for the same reason most of the people on the Feroe islands, racism, and all the things that rot this planet (hunger, thirst, war, pollution, animal killing, forest exploitation, etc...). I also hate people who don't have the sense of humour, like some canadians (no, not you, don't be so paranoid !!).

How nicely put ! Languages are fun too. I like to learn how to say horrible things in any language  Music : Iiiiiii loooove to love, lalala...
