ABOUT ME

"Maybe we should allow human nature an instinctive wish to move, an impulse to movement in the widest sense. The act of travelling itself contributes to create a sensation of physical and mental health, while the monotony of a long staying or of a fixed job weave in our brains plots generating prostration and a sense of personal inadequacy.
In many cases what the ethologists have designed as 'aggressiveness' is simply an huffily answer to the frustrations deriving from being confined in a certain ambient."

Bruce Chatwin

"Si piensas que estas vencido, lo estas
si piensas que no te atreves, no lo haras
si piensas que te gustaria ganar pero no puedes, no lo lograras
si piensas que perderas ya has perdido
y es que muchas carreras se han perdido
ante de haberse corrido
y muchos cobardes han fracasado
antes de haber su trabajo empezado.
Piensa en grande y tu hechos creceran
piensa en pequeno y te quederas atras
piensas que puedes y podras
tudo esta en el estado mental
porque la batalla de la vida
no siempre la gana el hombre mas fuerte o el mas ligero.
Tarde o temprano el hombre que gana es aquel que cree poder hacerlo".

Rudyard Kipling (@ Triacastela)

For instance, in one corner of the Eastern Galactic Arm lies the large forest planet Oglaroon, the entire "intelligent" population of which lives permanently in one fairly small and crowded nut tree. In which tree they are born, live, fall in love, carve tiny speculative articles in the bark on the meaning of life, the futility of death and the importance of birth control, fight a few extremely minor wars, and eventually die strapped to the underside of some of the less accessible outer branches.
In fact the only Oglaroonians who ever leave their tree are those who are hurled out of it for the heinous crime of wondering whether any of the other trees might be capable of supporting life at all, or indeed whether the other trees are anything other than illusions brought on by eating too many Oglanuts.

Douglas Adams

Interests

I'm curious about everything: I always try to do something I've never done before, once at least!
I love to cook for my friends trying new recipes and wines. I love photography and having long walks or rides by bicycle. I'm addicted with cheese (and I'm allergic! :P), coffee and shoes...! I'm interested in environmental issues, ecology and fair trade, trying to improve myself in these subjects.
