Much of what we hear is easily forgotten,
But every now and then,
A brilliant thought precious as a diamond
Is given to us to remain forever unforgettable.

Come on the Hitchhiker's Omnibus! This voyage has no biginning, it has no end and the middle is everywhere. It travels across and beyond the globe through mountains of words and valleys of views, this omnibus is a yacht, a submarine or a surfboard, it can ride the waves, or sail subconscious seas, it can transform into spaceship or the flight of a bird. The hitchhikers is today's friend or an icon admired lifetimes ago.

About Me
- Della
- If I could choose my identity it would be Lysistrata. Lysistrata and the Athenian women, declared a sex-strike until such time as the men made peace with Sparta. A successful endeavour that resulted in peace among warmongering men. Fictional of course. Aggressivness is the destiny of mankind!
