Music defines who I am

Music was with me from the beginning. I belonged to a ProSymfonika group in my elementary and secondary school. My musical tastes are so varied (I don't think that there's a genre that I don't like) that it's hard for me to choose only one band to write about. You'll just have to bare with me as I show you some of them. Good Lord I sometimes think the list is neverending! Let the music speak for itself:

Nightwish My favourite band+my favourite movie= LOVE


Skillet


Bathory

Krypteria

"Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers.*"

*Charles W. Eliot, The Happy Life. This quote depicts what books always have ment for me.

I read and had so many books read to me since I was young (The Little Prince, Winnie the Pooh, The Secret Garden, Andersen's fairytales, Brothers Grimm fairytales, Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia, Pan Samochodzik, Angels and Demons, Imprimatur, Secretum, Veritas, Metro 2033, Metro 2034 and many more) that it took me a while to remember 2 books that I would never forget and which had such an impact on my life: "The Little Prince" and "Winnie the Pooh".

"The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
When I first read it on my own I was 9 years old and although I didn't understand some words I fell in love with the little princes characters and adventures. This book helped me understand people and life.

"Winnie the Pooh" by A.A. Milne
It was my beloved childhood book and the bear with a small brain was, no, no scratch that, he still is my longtime companion!
I stll remember how I got my first copy of the book, it was for being a model pupil and since then Winnie the Pooh was always with me.

Home is where the heart is...

and my heart is in Poznań. This is the place I was born in and, more or less, where my family comes from. My great-grandfather came to Poland from Germany and settled in Szreniawa where my grandfather Franciszek was born. My grandmother Bronia was born in, a now nonexistent village, Glinno (the same Glinno Wojciech Bogusławski, the father of the Polish theater, was born in).
My grandparents later moved to Poznań in search of work, where they met and fell in love. Since that moment my family lived in Poznań, in Sierakowska street. I live in a terraced house with a beautiful garden.

In my free time I love walking around the old town square, visiting museums and remembering stories my grandfather used to tell me about Poznań's military history. Unfortunately, while I like living in Poznań, the city became too crowded and polluted for my tastes. There's not nearly enough green terrains left. That's why my parents are building a house in Konarzewo, a small village near Dopiewo. When I went there the first time I remembered my grandmother's stories about Glinno, forests and farmlands all around me. I found the place where I belonged and look isn't it beautiful?  
I will miss Poznań but Konarzewo is the place where I want to live, my heart agrees. My mom tells me that I'm returning to my roots and I guess it's true, Szreniawa is real close too.
Well, I guess it's all I've got to say about my home. If you're interested in more information about Konarzewo, Poznań's military history or need to know which museums are worth visiting you may ask me.
