About Me

ABOUT ME

Permanently in a reinventing process. How would I like to be? I'd like to have no inhibitions, to be wiser, uncomplicated,patient, to be able to learn from everything and everybody, and would like get off my confortable position and be an actor not a spectator.

At the moment I have to admit I am still like a kid, just absorbing informaton to make up my mind about the world. Life has changed very much for me and what it was normal once it's not consider so in this part of the world; what was once absurd, makes sense now. I don't take anything for granted. I want to hear both sides, even the darkest ones, and see things from all angles.
I consider myself very lucky. I am happy; I believe happiness is a decision, not a situation.

I enjoy music, arts, cinema, sports. I'm pretty much an ignorant to most aspects of them but enjoy listening and watching them and I am always eager to learn.

My pet hates: waiting in line, getting my feet wet in the rain, being laugh at, waiting in general. I'm a kid of this century, I need information and I need it now. I said information, not explanations. Yes, I am pretty impatient. I am always on the go. I laugh very loud. I trust without limits until I feel betrayed. I prefer an ugly truth over a beautiful lie. I like the uncomplicated.
I love doing things that are forbidden, a little bit illegal, a little bit absurd, a little unorthodox. Lately I've been climbing trees, cliffs, diving with children, rescuing hats, picking up hitchhikers (waiting for my own chance to hitchhike myself), etc. I just love the adrenaline. If you are an adrenaline junkie, let me hang out with you!

I love meeting new and interesting people but have only few friends. I don't want people in my life that don't add something positive to it so I keep only the good ones. If you are my friend, you'll be it forever.

As I guest I suppose I act as if I were visiting you rather than only the place. I am interested in you. As a host I would expect the same.

PHILOSOPHY

If you say something, mean it. If you feel something, say it. (Me)

El hombre se hace viejo muy pronto y sabio demasiado tarde. (Some guy)

Wer nicht mehr liebt und nicht mehr irrt, der lasse sich begraben. (Goethe)

My favorite little story, from Alice in Wonderland:

"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.
"I don't much care where-" said Alice.
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go," said the Cat.
"-so long as I get SOMEWHERE," Alice added as an explanation.
"Oh, you're sure to do that," said the Cat, "if you only walk long enough."

"Life is a succession of lessons that have to be lived to be understood" -Helen Keller
