About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To Ride a Bike and to enjoy the life

ABOUT ME

I'm a little bit shy when I don't know very well the people, but I like to know new people and I love learning new things about different cultures. I like to talk about the most different subjects: movies, theater, politics, bikes, music, travels, etc.

I'm a software developer, and I just love what I do, so It means that yes I'm kindly geek. But no that much, I'm too much deep into arts for geeks and I'm too much deep into technology for art lovers.

I'm a Biker and Open-Source Software supporter.

PHILOSOPHY

To make the world a better planet..

You laugh at me because I'm different, I laugh at you because you're all the same. (Jonathan Davis)

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. (Albert Einstein)

Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet. (Bob Marley)

An' I will not carry myself down to die
When I go to my grave my head will be high (Bob Dylan)
