About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Become a Buddha

ABOUT ME

I'm quite a spontaneous one and full of contradictions.
DISLIKE insects, the robot Wall-E or snoring.
I've never watched Lord of Rings and among Captain America, Ironman and Spiderman (all I know) I choose George Clooney.
I'm..ten pages long and one word short. After one bottle of wine I'm transparent.
