My journey through life

Someone somewhere once wisely said „if something could be better is as good as broken.“ If I would have to opt for a single sentence answer on who I am, I would be the guy who always wants to better the current state. And the one who breaks the ice. Any time. Any where.

I was always impressed by the Greek statues that emanated natural, symmetrical muscularity and always disregarded bloated, steroid-looking physiques. Figuring quite early, already at the age of 14, that a truly beautiful and well-built, chiseled physique is only worth it through applying a myriad of hard work, specific diet regiment, sleep pattern, and a refrain from anabolic steroids and cutting corners. The “business plan” looked perfectly on the canvas. However, the path to a current state was about to become much more trechareous than ever conceived.

don’t forget to abandon your comfort zone today. Each and everyday, remember?

A group of great young Cuban folks in Havana. Saw them on the street, bumped in and bam – grabbed the guy’s guitar and rock’n’rolled.
