About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission is... to find my mission!

ABOUT ME

I love knowledge, to know more and more about everything makes me understand better this world in where I live and enables me to improve it.

I really enjoy talking with people from other cultures or etnics, knowing more about their way of living and their own culture, at least when they aren't too intolerant (wich pisses me off)

I love nature and I really like quiet places in which you can hear the voices of the forest, a deep cave, the sea or the river. To do this I usually go hiking to the places I want to explore.

I like making things that needs effort both from my hands and my creativity that's why I adore cooking, painting, sculpting, programming, designing, modelating and so.

PHILOSOPHY

Equilibrium.
Standing in the middle is a hard (and sometimes stressful) way of living, equilibrium it's not about whenever it comes to it "not chosing" but to choose everything at the same time, even (specially) if choices seem opposed one to each other.

For example, when it comes to speak about capitalism good points I speak about communism's doing the opposite when the interlocutor it's deffending comunism.

I do this because the world its made from different shades of grey, not from white and black as too many defend.

In a more spiritual field I have no gods nor sacred rules above me, but if had to choose religions close enough to the way I behave it would be some like paganism, druidism and maybe budism

Music, Movies, and Books

I see a lot of movies, and enjoy watching them in original version, but there are 4 films that I really enjoy and usually see at least once a year (not in this order necessarily):

Mononoke Hime
V for Vendetta
Scott Pilgrim vs the World
Big Fish

(Yep, I like quite differen genres)

Music:
It seems easier to say what I don't like, because depending on the moment I enjoy one or other genre. From classic to nu-jazz or indie to folk, I like and hear a lot of music.

I can't stand commercial music wich have not changed at all in the last 15 years and I really hate Reaggeaton wich I feel male chauvinist and stupid.

The music I hear most of time are Soundtracks, Classic, alternative, metal, chill and some kinds of specific folk

Books
I read 10-30 books a year and almost all of them are about fantasy (Forgotten Realms, Geralt de Rivia...) or about design or programming, being those last two the most (I said I like learning, ¿didn't I?)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
