I was born in the great city of Istanbul in 1977.
After long-lasting talks within the household, the verdict that my name should be "Arman" was given.  Nobody ever bothered to ask my views on the subject. Although my mother assures me that my name was not a unanimous decision, and that negotiation took absolutely days. 

Anyhow, after a month of being born, I was transported (against my will, once more) to Switzerland, Geneva. I do not recall my days there very clearly, and I am quite certain that I
Ooooooooh YEAH BABY!!...COPY IT COPY IT COPY IT HAHAHAHAH!!!
missed the opportunity to be the content voyeur of exotic Swiss women. My years there were spent soiling nappies and eating processed baby food, naturally. In the end we headed back to Turkey.
Later travels included Kuwait and London. I stayed for four years in each location before finally returning to where I am now, Turkey. Although I have learnt a great deal from my trips abroad, I am in a way glad to be in my home-nation. Although I can say with great conviction that I am also longing for the riches of Europe. 

As a prejudiced account of my personality, I'll say that I'm quite a humble soul. Veeeery tolerant indeed. I'll back down from any argument just to preserve healthy relations with others. This does make for a loss sometimes since I forfeit my right to a fair trial. But, let's face it, some people are such certified morons that they won't understand a rational argument. Apart from this, I have faults just like everyone else. I smoke, drink, go through some weed should the means be available. But what is one without vices?!

I'm a tune freak. I'll buy, on average, about 5 bootleg CD's every month. Turkey's
Ooooooooh YEAH BABY!!...COPY IT COPY IT COPY IT HAHAHAHAH!!!
disregard for zillionaires, who are so enthralled at usurping our hard-earned cash, by way of a figurative "SUE THIS!", is one aspect of this country I find outrageously benign.

I play a little guitar. "Little" being the key word, I've found that self-tuition doesn't go a long way. Nonetheless, I'll conquer this stupid 6-stringed piece of wood if it's the last thing I do! I used to sing, but smoking seems to be quelling that nuisance.

I read a bit of this and that. I rarely allow what's read to consort with my daily experience. The verse is complete bollocks, yet thrilling and graceful; true experience is bollocks, period. Vonnegut all the way...So it goes.
