Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Go. I still have a long way to pedal, and I am not cold!
ABOUT ME
I am some kind of language freak, I did a bunch of different jobs in my life.
I am a proud nowtopian cyclist and DIYmechanic, I volunteer sometimes at the bike kitchens on my route. I am a proud hitchhiker and an hitchhicking advocate.
I'm becoming a Sailor and I own a sailboat which is home and school to me. I do repairs and try to improve it as much as possible following my little non-inheritated budget.
I'm alot into history economics and this polítics (as I was educated to follow some ethical ideas) si.be welcome if you feel liké you can stand that!
PHILOSOPHY
I try to get the good side of life, I don't bother if bad things happen or if people behave stupidly against me I think that if I take it easy it will be easier. I help when somebody needs me, because that Is the right thing to do, I was thought.
I love with passion, no double-minds (I don't know if it's any correct to tell it like this but I am not sure that I could explain it in my mother-tongue either), until my freedom is respected and preserved.
I don't like greedy people, materialism is not a good kdea in my opinion, I don't like SUV's neither their drivers but exceptions exist of course.
I hate armies and weapons.
I have one more REALLY IMPORTANT thing to tell now.
I find it selfish to book a cheap flight just to spend the weekend somewhere. Everybody knows about the issue of climate change but very few are actually willing to give up his/her travelling dreams or just some extra time or money in order to keep life our planet. I find dreams cool, don't get me wrong!
I hear this "tight schedule" excuse much too often. I sometimes understand that kind of statement as "I am a busy and dynamic person, I have no time for trains or buses". So you know what? F**k you and go to a hotel, you saved money on the bus/train ticket by flying cheap.
This is how we, dear terrestrial sisters and brothers in the human race are recklessly driving straight to the Cliff. (written around 2010)
Please stop acting like you were the most important thing on earth, you are not.
Be humble and use your mind and heart to make your life easier instead of your money to compulsively buy another fu**ing plane ticket.
