My main interest is life. My life, your life, life in general. This translates to a huge interest in music, ideas, books, philosophy, stories, dreams, visiting concerts, meeting kindred spirits and such.
The band Seraphique is where I ventilate the impressions I receive through my life. I play bass guitar, but started my musical history as a guitar player. I enjoy writing new music, usually leftfield stuff. The interaction between musicians is one of the best things I know.
As a person, I try to keep an open mind and learn and experience as much as possible. To quote dutch 19th century writer Multatuli: "Perhaps nothing is true, not even this".

About me:
Hi there and welcome to my profile. I hope you'll enjoy your visit!
Who I'd like to meet: People with a passion for the good things in life, thinkers, musicians, hedonists and positive people in general. Oh and if you think of yourself as a 'Cat Person', you're in my good book!
Hee Erik! Heb er ook super veel zin in. Sta al een tijdje te stuiteren hahaha. Lijkt me op zich leuk om wat te gaan doen maar aangezien wij op vakantie gaan meteen na War of the Worlds denk ik dat we wel druk zijn die dag. Misschien is het wel leuk om wat te gaan eten vooraf of zo.
It's been going alright I suppose. Not bad but not great. I'm glad things are going well for you! Sounds like you're pretty content and happy with everything, so that's awesome :D
Hey sweetheart! It was soooooo nice to see you yesterday and your gorgeous girlfriend! Your short hair looks amazing now ;) Hope to see you soon! Much love, steffi

Moet echt de hele tijd aan je denken hehe Omdat in het ijslands bijna iedereen als ze ja zeggen naar binnen ademt hehe ssshja moet echt alsmaar lachen en denken was erik maar hier :P je zou dr helemaal tuuters van worden gheghe
There is an impeccable resemblance with the head in hand/cigarette! Haha :) I wouldn't say it's faggy though! Good luck with pursuing teaching, I'm sure it will all work out for you!
Hello sweetheart! I didn't have the time to write you, but I haven't forgotten!!! How are you? Are you going to any Anathema Shows in the summertime, when they're playing in the Netherlands? I think I will also be in Eindhoven and it's for free ;) hihi... At the moment I am really stressed. I have to do sooo many things but the days are much too short to keep it done. Hope to see you soon! BIG hugs, steffi
