Why is this site called ‘Only slightly bent?’
Sami in a nutshell
First of all, welcome! For better or worse, this site is not an anonymous blog nor a personal journal. The former implies that since you know who’s writing this, I’d appreciate knowing who’s reading this – so please let me know one way or another. The latter on the other hand means I normally don’t explicitly talk much about what I do in my daily life. For the most parts, this is beneficial for all parties. But to give you an idea of what kind of a person is writing this, here’s a short personal introduction.
I’m a third-of-a-century old person, originally from Finland, currently living in Melbourne, Australia. I work in the mobile telecommunications industry. My hobbies include, but are not limited to, various sports (like surfing, bodyboarding, biking, swimming, tennis, kayaking, badminton, running etc), my two passions of gastronomy and photography, reading & writing, music, movies, boardgames and last, but certainly not least, traveling.
I love people; my wife, our kids, my friends, family.. I love the sky, fire, water, surf, ocean, waves, beaches, sunsets, scenic views, life, nature, animals, warmth, clouds, summer, real people, warm people, technology, partying, peaceful quiet evenings, meeting people, doing everything new, doing nothing, being fully connected, being totally unreachable, music, city noise, silence, tranquility of the wilderness, walking, exercising, new things, old familiar things, new cultures, having deadlines to work to, having no deadlines, meticulous planning, acting impulsively. Touching, feeling, smiling, laughing – life.
The collection of traits and likes is obviously seemingly self-contradictory, but we’re all a tapestry of such features and qualities, desires, experiences, hopes, fears and dreams – discordant as they may be, they’re all precious and cherished. Cognitive dissonance rules.
