About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Never forget how magical life can be.

ABOUT ME

I'm a very relaxed and easy-going person. It's really difficult to make me angry or unhappy and I can find joy in the worst of situations. I prefer to listen rather than to talk.

PHILOSOPHY

Develop organically, renounce systems, accept hypocrisy and live in contradiction.

Interests

Flowers, ants, bees, the yous and mees; neon signs, Ace Ventura, graffiti lines; neotony: mornin' noon and night; clouds with unforeseen bodily sounds; full moons on Jupiter; smiles, tears and vapid stares.
