CURRENT MISSION

finding out what my mission is, and making this odyssey one worth living for

ABOUT ME

I tend to think I don't know myself enough to describe my attributes or flaws to others, but perhaps I should try. I can't say I'm normal cause I never knew what that ment. I'm a little shy with strangers but it doesn't take too long for it to go away, I love discussing everything, I'm very paissionate about life and about my ideas, I'lll aways choose going to the movies as the program for the night, I absolutelly love reading, altough I'm the slowest reader there is, I love writing, altough it usually takes half of my time on this earth, and I love travelling, but I wouldn't categorize it as a hobby, it's more of an addiction that I never wanna get rid off.

PHILOSOPHY

I couldn't say I have a motto or anything like it, but I certainly keep looking for myself, with absolutely no certainty and no will to unveil any hidden truth. I'm just wondering around, raising questions and throwing myself in this vast abyss, trying to fill the void with a verse or two. vertigo is a warm lover and I can't help but letting go.

Interests

- film: watching, making, writing about them
- literature: reading and writing and trhowing the writings away
- travelling: getting to know a place and it's history. enjoing a view and trying to capture it on film. getting to know people and making friends, cause exchanging thoughts and ideas is a beautiful thing, it's something I feel so passionate about I would go as far as saying it's what I live for.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm in love with russian literature: dostoievski, gogol, gorki, tolstoi, nabokov! But brazilians are not that far behind: machado de assis, drummond, raduan nassar, ferreira gullar, paulo leminski, manoel de barros, guimarães rosa, augusto dos anjos! But there are many others that are never to far from my nightstand: Franz Kafka, James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, Herman Hesse, Homero, Garcia Marquez, Rimbaud, Flaubert, Nietszche, Fernando Pessoa, Saramago, Adorno, Poe, Salinger, Neruda, Borges, Cervantes... and many others I forgot.
