My experimental phase
It all starts in the teenage years. I don't know about my friends, but I never wanted to have such experiments. For example: we had an excursion in the eighth grade of my elementary school and all the male pupils coloured their hair except me! Yeah, that's right. Maybe it wasn't fair from my side to do that. But, in the other hand, looking from this point maybe that was my experimental phase. And it was. I have always been in some way weird, eccentric. When other guys hung out, I was staying at home watching National Geographic, some movies, playing football and so on...
Another fine example for this was when I had my high school graduation party. Months before it my friends from class were convincing me to get drunk on that party. I told them "NO!" (what a strength of character). Next days in high school I was running and hiding from them.
At the very end, a little story about my beard and moustache, when my friends tried to make me shave it all. I finally did it on the New Year's Eve of 2002. Nobody of them could recognize me! This was, perhaps my "little" experimental phase, but since then I have never shaved my beard all.
I'm finishing this essay with some Sting's memorable verse:
"Be yourself, no matter what they say..."

Photographic autobiography
Since I was a child, I used to make serious faces that also included mops, because of which people often laughed. Too many people say that I have enlighten face, and that I remind them on some great philosophers, such as Rene Descartes. I must admit I also think on myself as Descartes, because of saying to people around me:
"Cogito, ergo sum!"
It is interesting fact that this picture is taken in the time of the spring and funny... Wearing green T-shirt makes me connected with the nature.
...So that means that I'm pantheistic philosopher, the one who finds himself in nature... Weird, isn't it?
And, one more reason why I like this photo: It's taken near the college, near that place where are people that I appreciate the most, that I like to spent my time with.
GROUP WORK: EXPLANATION- Two commercials
First picture:
- man's attitude towards girls; he holds them with his arms, like they belong to him
- the carelessness in his walk
- kissing one girl, the other doesn't mind
- sunglasses hiding his eyes
- his tie, usually ties are very uncomfortable for men, but he is ok with it
My explanation:
Feel free to have what you want; have the guts to take what you want; wear Guess and live your life as you deserve....
Second picture: A commercial for Enyce clothes:
- man's mysterious look
- unbuttoned shirt, unconservative attitude
- his hat
- sun and dryness that surrounds him, but he looks so fresh
- his closed lips- more mystery
My explanation:
Do you want to be a secret, do you want to be a mystery?
You are a secret, you are a mystery, you are a human being... that wears Enyce...
