CURRENT MISSION

Maybe you should look somewhere else if you really think that having a "mission in this world" is important, hehe!

ABOUT ME

Nothing about me:
I'm a lawyer, but interested in the academic field and not actually in exercising the profession. I have a master degree and now I'm working on my Ph.D thesis, in philosophy of law.

I don't know myself enough. Do you? Really? Are you sure?

PHILOSOPHY

Read the "Interests" part.
(Anyway, I have a phrase with which some friends characterize me. It’s a slightly different version of a common saying (although I’m not sure if it’s just like this in English): "Don’t leave for tomorrow what you can do… the day after tomorrow." Hahaha!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

You tell me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Great so far. I started going out to eat or drink something with a couple of people that came to where I live, and then went asking for hosts. I had such a good time among them. I couchsurfed about 5 times up to day.

Interests

Without a priority scale:

-Philosophy
-Literature
-Music
-Films

As you can see, those are the same interests that almost everyone has. The peculiarity is not in liking music -to name something- but on what kind of music do you listen to.
However, I can say something about my interests in a negative way: I don’t like (that is, I’m not interested in) writing “about me”, in 3 substanceless lines, to the blank space of a web page. What I do consider interesting is that by means of a web page people can meet other people and treat them in a much more substantial way than the one used everyday while walking the streets among strangers. And thus maybe even make new bonds from that basis. With a little luck on our side, in the future we may get to treat strangers on the street just the same way we treat now other couchsurfers we meet. Could it be so?

Music, Movies, and Books

I’m interested in lots (or in too few) things. It’s way too hard to say what is “the best” or “the most…” So…
Film: I don’t know if it’s my favorite movie, but David Lynch’s “Eraserhead” changed the way I watch films. Now, after watching it, I look for other kinds of things, different from those I looked for in a movie before watching that masterpiece of the surrealistic perversion.
Music: It’s not difficult to say that to me Luis Alberto Spinetta is… him. The problem is that it sounds quite like a fallacy to say that he is my favorite musician, just when his work mixes outstanding musical levels with equally fantastic poetic developments.
Book: I think I’ve read a lot, but here it’s rarely easy to choose a book (a novel) as my favorite. It’s "Adán Buenosayres", a classic from the unfairly unheeded (or forgotten) Leopoldo Marechal. I’m very interested in philosophy and I even have a quite absurd intention of making a living from the philosophy of law, but here it’s impossible to pick a particular book (I mean a book of "general philosophy" -to call it somehow. I do have a chosen one in philosophy of law, but that’s off the case since it’s an uninteresting field to the 99.99% of humanity. If YOU are really wondering which book would it be, I can tell you, our hands holding the corresponding glasses full of beer, xP)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ah... This question catches me unaware... I'm thinking of something now, but I'd better not say it here.

Teach, Learn, Share

This section of the questionnaire generates the following "offer" I have: I can speak English decently enough, I hope. So, since it strangely appears written in English in the Spanish version of the CS web, I offer myself to translate this:
"This is the beginnings of the future CouchSurfing University, a school where everyone's a student and everyone's a teacher. Surfing isn't just about a place to sleep. It's about exchange. From esoteric knowledge to practical skills, you have special knowledge that others will benefit from knowing. Include one, or even a couple of items here that you might be able to share - and maybe something you want to learn! We hope that this will contribute to strengthening the quality of this wonderful community. Teach. Learn. Share. Let's do this."
Hahahaha!
