Gian Andrea

(not too) deep thinker I try hard to work not. Not quite there yet. Gian Andrea is a writer who currently resides in the United Kingdom out of boredom. Voracious reader from a young age, he does indeed wear glasses. He holds a bachelor's degree in Literature and History with honours and a master's degree in Philosophy with honours. None of them has ever helped him find a real job.

Spending most of his time alone, drawing, painting or reading anything that had some sort of words printed on it, - his family got quite concerned that the kid would become a skinny outcast. Or even worse, just skinny. So they pushed him to play some kind of sport – and stuffed him with bread and pizza as a daily routine. Jumping from one sport to another, he first got interested in Swimming. Bathtubs, lakes, seas. Puddles, at times. And it was fine, but it missed the real action. So he became keen on Athletics: Running, mostly (but after a while, he realized that he had been running for hours every day, without actually getting anywhere). Next, he started playing Basketball. He did like it too. But a place where everybody is supposed to like Football, lacks any real competition, would notice later on. Feeling like he had yet to find the right sport that'd suit him, he began practising Karate. Meantime, he discovered himself a pacifist. Therefore he quit. At the same time, he joined the local gym, which seemed to work just fine for a while. Until even that turned out to be an addictive issue. Finally, university kicked in, and right after the first couple of Philosophy and Literature classes, his mind was finally clear. Why would I even work out in the first place? -he said. He spent the following years working meaningless jobs and meeting meaningful people. He travelled all over Europe, chasing after museums, forgotten artists and cheap accommodations. Although he never managed to get out of the UK - a place that amuses him to no end. When he is not writing, he is painting, and when he is not writing or painting either, he's most likely pretending to do yoga or fighting insomnia. Gymnastics is the only true love that keeps him in check. He has recently quit (some) drugs, turned vegetarian and got more involved with charitable work and environmental organizations. More recently, he's decided to leave those too and get back to work full-time. Even that idea doesn't look like it is going to last.
