About Me:

Hey!

My name is Jorge and I am originally from Mexico, but I am living in Brisbane, Australia. I'm studying Marine Biology & Ecology at the University of Queensland.

I really love languages. I like them so much in fact I can never concentrate on learning a single one to an acceptable level of fluency... which is kinda bad.
Spanish is my native tongue, I am also fluent in English, and can communicate and get by in Portuguese, and a bit of French and Catalan as well.

Travelling is one of my passions. After graduating I'd like to travel and work around the globe for a few years before settling down somewhere. My first stop I want it to be South/East Africa ;-)

I'm in love... with nature. I think it's a pity how human kind has got to such a low point in which we treat nature as a commodity and something that should be exploited. People who prefer making money than caring about the environment **** me off.

Requests:

Anyone... race, religion, or nationality doesn't matter.

Interests, Hobbies, etc.:

Photography,​ Ecology & Conservation​, Languages, Travelling, Reading & Writing (although I haven't written in a long time), playing bass guitar, and more recently going to the gym.

Favorite Music:

A bit of almost everything I would say.. Rock, Alternative,​ Ska, Reggae, Electronica,​ Arabic, African, Metal, Latin, Classical, etc. Basically any musician who shows talent regardless of the genre is appreciated.​ Talentless show-only bands and singers annoy me.

Favorite Movies:

Diarios de Motocicleta.​ Matando Cabos. Trainspottin​g. Cidade de Deus. A Beautiful Mind. Fight Club. El Santo contra las momias. Borat. Lawrence of Arabia. Dot the i. Requiem for a dream. Finding Nemo. Desperado. Infernal Affairs I & II. El Laberinto del Fauno. Into the Wild. Tropa de Elite. Whale rider.

Favorite TV Shows:

I don't watch much t.v. lately...
Documentarie​s such as:
BBC Blue Planet;
David Attenborough;​
Jacques Cousteau;
and the like...

Also other programs:
Lost; The 4400; Chaser's War on Everything; Flight of the Conchords

Favorite Books:

El Seductor de la Patria; Cien Años de Soledad; Los de Abajo; El Ciclo del Grial; Alexandros; La Decisió; 1984; La Raza Futura; Andalus; The Human, the Orchid, and the Octopus; and some others I can't recall right now. South American writers are pretty awesome.. García Márquez, Cortázar, Benedetti, y el Sr. Borges también.

Favorite Quotes:

"Don't worry, be happy!"​

"¿Qué dejamos atrás al cruzar una frontera? Cada momento parece dividirse en dos; melancolía por lo que dejamos atrás y emoción de entrar en una tierra nueva."​ (What do we leave behind when we cross each frontier? Each moment seems split in two; melancholy for what was left behind and the excitement of entering a new land. )

"Deja que el mundo te cambie... y podrás cambiar al mundo."​ - Ernesto Guevara de la Serna.


"Cuando​ hayas cortado el ultimo arbol, contaminado el ultimo rio y pescado el ultimo pez, te daras cuenta que el dinero no se puede comer."​

"Ama lurra odolez hustu, nola arraio ote gaitezke holan aberastu?"​

"a natureza não precisa posar ela ja é perfeita.."​

Hola!  Mi espanol es terrible, so I won't even try to be coherent  :

What part of Mexico are you from?  I traveled through la Ciudad de Mexico, pero yo didn't stay por un grande tiempo. ...  Sorry, I know my Spanish is awful.  I learned enough to be adequate, but I haven't practiced in nearly two years now.  I can SO relate with not being able to focus long enough to learn a language til fluency.  I adore languages (like you, apparently!)​ and am currently trying to learn Hebrew, but it's very slow going.

Anyway, hope to hear from you.  =]

Hey Dude,

Wazzzzzzzzzz​up? lol. I don't know if this is a normal greeting between guys where you're from, but here in Canada and the U.S., it's a rite of way, sorta. lol.

NKOTB? Nah, I was just messing 'cause I SECRETLY like them too! lol. And I MEAN SECRETLY! lol. Wouldn't want to be razzed by my buds. lol.

Montreal is beautiful, but the Autumn weather is starting to creep in. Where the heck did summer go? I'm a Filipino-Can​adian who speaks English fluently, and I'm sorry to say can't really speak French as fluent, even though I've been here since I was 7! lol. Yeah, I know, it's sad! lol. And then I meet people like you and you guys speak multiple languages...​puts me to shame, man. Awwwww. lol.

What's it like on your side of the pond? And don't begin with it's beautiful! LOL.

Anyways, I gotta go, I've been procrastinat​ing about going back to hitting the books, even though it's 03:00 here in Montreal, and have to be back at the hospital at 07:30. Yay, fun! lol. LATERZZZZZ. Michael.

But my Electric guitar is broken, I don't know how to tell it in english, she sounds like " Brzzz " :/
I have an acoustic, but can't really play, too much noise, my neighbours don't like it :'(
