Who is GulleMan?

Short answer - If I just knew....! 

Long answer - I think I am not going to figure this question out, ever. But I can declare a bunch of facts that might help to understand.

I was born 1974 in Munich (Earth) into a family of taxi drivers. Although I, too, had my brief stance in this industry, I soon figured I should take another road for my carreer. 

In the end I became the IT guy, and still am. What kind of person I've become is something to judge for people that actually know me.

For what it's worth, I am done judging people. 

 

So here's some random facts about GulleMan.... 😉

I am....

• a husband (and an ex-husband)
  
• a father
• a brother
  
• a son, grandson, uncle and nephew
  
• a (very) casual poker player
• a musician, singer, songwriter, pianist
• an enthusiastic guitar player
  
• a friend, and a bff, a listener
• a brother and son in law
• an atheist; in fact I am anti-theist
• a lover, and not a fighter
• a colleague
  
• a pragmatic dreamer 
• a bullshit hater
  
• tbc.
  

Some distinct people out there might use less favourable adjectives for describing me, but aye - everybody is entitled to their opinion :-)

Everything I love
(unfinished list)

1) My wife. Together since 2011. Overall, my favourite person. Second to none.

• Bill Murray - the coolest man on earth.
• Barack Obama - in terms of cool, second to Bill.
• My family. All of them. In particular, my Mum and my sweetest Nephew.
• My piano. No further explanation needed.
• My wealth of close friends. There's many. I'm blessed.
• Freedom. Having spent 10 years in "exile" is giving you perspective.
• My life-time visa to New Zealand. I can return there any day. And I will.
• Financial backing. Literally priceless.
• Lang Lang. The guy who plays it right.
• Jazz Piano - the ultimate standard. Nothing less will ever be acceptable to me, for me.
• Konrad Adenauer.
• The Big Lebowski. 
• Ricky Gervais. Undoubtably the most genius screen creator of all time. (Go watch Derek !!!)
• Munich, Germany. And Wellington, New Zealand.
• A great view from where you live. (And my brother in-law beats them all!)
• Working as a taxi driver in the city of Munich. As a side-gig.
• The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
• The Snakepit. As a poker venue, in Lower Hutt, New Zealand.
• Sir Pat Stewart and everything with the words "Star Trek" in it.
• Working for the good cause. E.g. serving a kindergarten was way more rewarding than serving a bank can ever be.
• Mentors.
• Mercedes W114 Coupe (Link to Wikipedia). Ideally in electric. Budget and some outstanding luck permitting, this might be my daily driver once! One needs goals in their lives.
