CURRENT MISSION

To be a better person that I was yesterday in mind, body, and soul; and to help others to achieve their mission.

ABOUT ME

I am mostly a quiet person. I am a happy person, I laugh a lot, and only take the important stuff seriously. I read all the time, you can find me at the local coffee shop at the end of the work day working on my projects or reading. I sing when I'm OK, almost every part of my life has a soundtrack. I believe that people are mostly good, and I try to be kind to people as much as I can. My weekends are destined for leisure, and I walk around the city, go to the movies or go to a night club those days. I'm shy with people I don't trust much, but clear with people I do trust.

PHILOSOPHY

Always be the best version of yourself. Be honest and kind. Make space for the people important to you. Always help people if you have the option to do so. Never take anything for granted, life is change. If you're gonna live once, better be it a good life. Do anything you might punish yourself later for not doing it. Those who are great are also silent about it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love movies where they have to catch a very smart guy or solve a big mystery. Also, movies about dystopias or where artificial intelligence goes wrong, like the Matrix. My guilty pleasure is "Clueless". I like indie music, like Angus & Julia Stone, San Cisco, Dresses, Max Frost, Arcade Fire, BriBry, Bastille, Echosmith, Kodaline, that sort of stuff. But I enjoy hits also too, like Katy Perry, Lilly Allen, Coldplay, Passenger, and so on. I love to discover new music. I listen 60's stuff like Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Led Zeppelin and the Beatles. Jazz too, and Elvis Presley, and even Brazilian stuff like Flavia Coelho, Caetano Veloso, and Jobim. Mexican folk songs too. I perform most of my daily activities with some music in the background. I read mostly poetry, like Sarah Kay, Mario Benedetti, Rudyard Kipling, Maya Angelou, Robert Frost, Walt Whitman, etc. I like philosophy too, like Nietzsche, Camus, Schopenhauer, Simone de Beauvoir, Russell, Thoreau, and Buddhist. But I do read novels, the classic ones, like Steinbeck, Joyce, Rulfo, and so on. I love dystopias like the ones of Orwell and Huxley. I read about neuroscience too, and psychology. Recently I'm into literature of the beat generation, like Kerouac, Ginsberg and Boroughs.
