CURRENT MISSION

To seek the Holy Grail!

ABOUT ME

As you probably figured out, I'm a huge fan of the Monty Python's Flying Circus, I pretty much enjoy wines, beer and spirits, cigars and a good conversation.

Concerning sports, I'm a 5th kyu Kendoka (the infamous long nosed Samurai, like Cyrano de Begerac, except the talent for poetry).

Finally about my personality: I like to think I'm a nice, gentle and calm person, almost always with a smile playing on my lips. Though being quiet, I also enjoy parties(as any Black Coat of Coimbra).

PHILOSOPHY

"Laissez faire et laissez passer, le monde va de lui même!"

Music, Movies, and Books

As for music, if it has a nice guitar in it, then I like. Blues(BB King, Clapton, Vaughan) is my favourite, also Jazz(Chett Baker, Miles, Peyroux, Piafr, Ella Fitzgerald, Holiday), and classic Rock (Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, Deep Purple), but also Bossa Nova(Jobim, Vinícius, Elis, Miucha), Classical (Bach, Mozart, Vivaldi, Handel, Pachelbel) and also some new(or relatively new) stuff(Muse, Coldplay, Omnipotent Youth Society, Kate Nash). And, of course, portuguese traditional music and tuna's songs (I'm a proud Black Coat myself).

I love books quite much, my favorite of all is the Three Kingdoms, by Luo Guanzhong. Other ones: Water margin bandits(Luo Guanzhong & Shi Nai'an), The Art of War (Sunzi), Dao De Jing(Laozi), Musashi(Eiji Yoshikawa), The Picture of Dorian Gray(Oscar Wilde), Der jung Werther(Göethe), The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarils(Tolkien), Dracula (Bram Stoker), King Solomon's Mines(H.R. Haggard), The Ascent of Money(Niall Ferguson), Economics in One Lesson(Hazlitt), The Banquet(Plato), The Book of Spirits(Kardec)... and I think I bragged just enough

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went to China to escape boredom

Teach, Learn, Share

Examine the whole question of frothing and falling, coughing and calling, screaming and bawling, walling and stalling, galling and mauling, palling and hauling, trawling and squalling and zalling. Zalling? Is there a word zalling? If there is what does it mean... if there isn't what does it mean? Perhaps both. Maybe neither. What do I mean by the word mean? What do I mean by the word word, what do I mean by what do I mean, what do I mean by do, and what do I do by mean? What do I do by do by do and what do I do by wasting your time like this? Goodnight.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A ceiling, stories, coffee, wine, laughs.
