CURRENT MISSION

.. wandering on life ...

ABOUT ME

My name is Octavio.
I've recently been moving to the nice and peaceful city of Tours, France (grew up in Paris suburb).

I am these days wandering, roving on life, or say surfing,

I try to do my best to "alwayyys look on the bright siiiide of life (whistling)".

WHEN I SAY: I am fun.
PEOPLE SAY: I am not that fun.
WHEN I SAY : I am intelligent.
PEOPLE SAY: I can be so stupid.
WHEN I SAY: I do listen to people.
PEOPLE SAY: Sometimes I can't stop talking.

Me, in a nutshell : sharing, walking, dreaming, dancing, singing, complaining, making mistakes, climbing life.

PHILOSOPHY

Make your life a useful and helpful one.
Music listening with someone is visiting someone.

"The more I learn, the more I learn how little I know." -- Socrates
"If triangles had a God, He'd have three sides." -- Old Yiddish proverb
"Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself." -- Tolstoy
