ABOUT ME
Welcome to my home page! No matter what brought you here, I hope that you will spend a few minutes of your precious time and read on. If not, well maybe you'll come back later...

October
1973 in the city of Ostrava (Czech
republic) in a family of Ota and Marcela Ginters... have two brothers
(I'm the middle one).... used to have a dog (foxy and rebellious Irish
terrier - died in summer 2000)...

in the country's capital Prague, right in the center of Europe...
have been living there since 1993
|
| WHAT do I do? | I finished
studies at the Anglo-American College in Prague in winter 1997, so now
I'm BBA :-) .... have been working as a freelance
interpreter (English-Czech as you might have guessed) for good
ten years now...You can check my business page (that I share with a group
of colleagues) on www.tlumocnici.com!

| LIKES? | Various
sports
(even though my body has already experienced the rather adverse effects
of it), good music (Dire Straits,
Eric Clapton, David Knopfler,
Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Sade...), playing my beautiful guitar signed
by
Mark
Knopfler(!)- don't belive me? Ok, check it out here!,
books
(Isaac Asimov, R.E.Heinlein, W.Goldman, Paulo Coelho, R.Fulghum, H.Hesse...), popular
math
and physics (Stephen Hawking, Kip Thorne, Brian Greene), experimenting with my brain
(superlearning, brainjogging, brain-stimulating devices), travelling (exotic
places in particular), a bit of photography, and stuff like the Simpsons,
Star Trek, browsing the web, small cozy coffee shops and book stores,
driving my car (would like to get a motorbike), strolling through nature resorts...etc.
etc.
|
| DISLIKES? | All sorts
of things....Being forced to do what I don't want to, being told to do
things just because they ought to be
done, racial and other
prejudices, dishonest
false back-stabbing people, fancy restaurants
and other
snobbish places and social happenings,
crowds
(I'm
a loner, and prefer quiet strolls in nature to crowded city centers), our Social-Democratic
Prime Minister (if you saw him, you would understand...), the extraordinary
power
of media to "wag" the public's opinion,
silly ads that I'm flooded with, silly shallow
music of all the "popular" teenage groups (BSB, Spice Sh..s, Take
that and take this...., etc.) that by corrupting the audience's perception
of quality prevent the
real quality music to be produced...,
silly predictable movies and soap operas,
trashy so called
"modern" art (one
wouldn't believe what they call art these days....), and there's certainly
more, but I can't think of anything else right now...
