About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find a country to live in

PHILOSOPHY

...then he whispered, clutching my sleeve, sweating, "Now you just dig them in front. They have worries, they’re counting the miles, they’re thinking about where to sleep tonight, how much money for gas, the weather, how they’ll get there-and all the time they’ll get there anyway, you see. But they need to worry and betray time with urgencies false and otherwise, purely anxious and whiny, their souls really won’t be at peace unless they can latch on to an established and proven worry and having once found it they assume facial expressions to fit and go with it, which is, you see, unhappiness, and all the time it all flies by them and they know it and that too worries them no end..."

On The Road, by Jack Kerouac

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC: really hard to explain.. almost everything, I never managed to listen to all my music collection. I have been listening to a lot of british ska and southern rock lately.

MOVIES: quite similar problem, but my favourite directors are: Paul Thomas Anderson, Todd Solondz, Sofia Coppola, Jacques Tati, Wes Anderson, Michel Gondry, Cohen Bros., Julio Medem, Stanley Kubrick, Michelangelo Antonioni, Luchino Visconti, Michael Haneke...

BOOKS: Crime and Punishment, Du Contract Social Ou Principes Du Droit Politique, Dune, The Human Factor, Hamlet, Meditations, The Catcher in the Rye, The Picture of Dorian Grey, The Talented Mr. Ripley, On the Road, Los detectives salvajes, Nouvelles Sous Ecstasy, L'amour Dure Trois Ans, The Food of the Gods and How It Came to Earth, Fantastic Mr Fox

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing things always happen in my dreams so that's why I always try to write them down when I'm lucky enough to remember them... and then I try to make them real.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not sure about this.. I think I can bring my knowledge about spanish and french (the two languages I usually speak). I'd really like to learn english well (and also how to travel in time)
