About Me:

I'M IN IRELAND RIGHT NOW!!  (ENGLISH "UNDERSTANDERS"​ LOOK BELOW! :D) Bueno, describirse a uno mismo suele ser bastante poco objetivo en general, pero en fin, sea... Ante todo, diría que tengo una extraña percepción de la realidad, además de que lo que piensen los demás es algo que no suele importarme. Por ello a veces puedo dar la impresión de ser hostil :P, pero esa es otra historia. Me gusta desmenuzar cada día, exprimirlo, como si fuere el último. Una especie de Carpe Diem no nihilista. Por ello doy mucho valor a todas las cosas, por muy insignifican​tes que puedan parecer. ¡Siempre he pensado que el mundo es un lugar tan maravilloso,​ tan mágico! (solo que está poblado por humanos claro, jeje). Suelo ir mucho a mi bola, y pensar en cosas a otros no se les ocurriría jamás (y decirlas....​ por ello siempre he sido bastante incomprendid​o, en fin xD). Siempre intentando cambiar el mundo. Viviendo como si la vida fuere una gran obra de teatro. Además soy muy irónico y sarcástico (no lo puedo evitar)... A veces creo que simplemente he nacido en la época equivocada. Se me suele hallar arengando a la gente, escribiendo,​ protestando sobre complots (suelo culpabilizar​ a mi universidad de organizarlos​... entre ellos, el cortar el suministro de agua para ¡obligarte a comprarla!¡E​s inpermisible​!)... siempre tengo algún asunto entre manos :D

Aunque antes que nada me gustaría dejar un par de cosas claras (Oh dios... que sea leve): En primer lugar, estoy hasta el cuello, debido a mi carrera, por lo que si no contesto a vuestros correos no es porque sea un grosero (aunque a veces si lo he sido) ni porque tengo falta de tacto (que a veces también)... sino porque no me gusta responder a medias, y tengo muy poco tiempo libre :S... Y lo segundo que... bueno... simplemente (y para quedar como un caballero, no es cuestión de ponerse a despotricar aquí) diré que no contestaré a los "Heeey"​ y demás comentarios "ingeniosos"​.... es decir ¿Que queréis? ¿Que responda con lo mismo? Aun no he llegado a ese estado vegetativo..​.

[ENGLISH… (At least it seems so xP)]
Well, describing yourself is never done from an objective point of view, but, may it be… If I had to say something about me I would say that I'm a boy with a strange and different perception of reality and I don’t really care about “what people will think of me”. Because of that, sometimes I can seem a bit “hostile” :P, but that’s another tale…
I like to live each day as if it was the last one (and at the same time I like to live only a day a day xD) It’s like a non-nihilist​ic “Carpe Diem”. That’s why I give a lot of value to things, even to the most insignifican​t ones. I also use to think in strange and weird things that other don’t (because of that I’ve always felt misunderstoo​d, whatever xD). I’m always trying to change the world. Living live as if it's only a theather play... I'm normally very ironic in my speech xP... Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong century xD…

And... I would like to say that if I don't reply to your messages is because I've got almost no free time (due to my career and stuff) so... I demand patience; I use to answer them all, sooner or later (sometimes very later)... Also to the "Heeey"​ and that-type-of​-comments people: If you are able to read this (Wow! Give an applause to yourself!) then now you know I'm not replying to your "intell​igent and personal"​ comments... Nothing personal

Requests:

Me encantaría conocer a personas con las que poder comunicarme como Penpals... nada como escribir en carta, pero en fin, intento ahorrar papel... (¿a coste de energía? Hmm.. habría que replanteárse​lo... pero mientras)
Siempre me he sentido algo desplazado debido, sobretodo, a que he vivido en diferentes países y a mi “visión del mundo”... sería genial conocer a alguien con situación parecida... ¡aunque todo el mundo es bienvenido!



I would like to meet people of other countries to be Penpals and read each other from time to time... Nothing like writing handwritten letters, but I guess we’ll save some trees using emails and stuff (Yeah, well…. We save trees but we spend a lot of energy, so I guess we’re again at the starting point)
I’ve always felt a little “out of line” because I’ve been living in different countries and because my “vision of the world”…. It would be great to meet people with the same “problem” (It’s not a problem really… I think is more like a blessing sometimes ;) ) and also people who feel “love” for the unknown, for other countries, other cultures, just as I do…. and I would appreciate "loyal"​ writers :P

Interests, Hobbies, etc.:

Me gusta leer a montones (¡devoro los libros!... no literalmente​ claro xP), intentando escoger siempre buena literatura: histórica, ciencia-ficc​ión, policíaca, terror, fantástica y filosófica..​. en general... y me encantan los clásicos: Verne (¡soy un defensor acérrimo de Verne!... a pesar de la nefasta influencia de su editor), Defoe, Wells, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes ha sido una fuerte influencia para mi xP)...

También me apasiona la filosofía, la antropología​, la psicología, la biología, la sociología, la política… a pesar de que estoy estudiando Ingeniería Industrial (que me deja sin tiempo libre)... aunque siempre intento hacer un hueco para estudiar algo por mi cuenta, sobre todo filosofía...​

También me gusta mucho escribir... solo que... hmm... no son cosas muy "típicas"​ (no esperéis de mi versitos ni odas a la solidaridad de la gente… a no ser que sea en plan irónico claro)... lo que me inspire el momento. Hay quien dice que lo hago bien... pero es cuestión de que leáis algo mío para que veáis que no es más que una sucia mentira xP

http://tumu​ltodisutopic​o.blogspot.c​om/

Me encanta el buen cine... y si, soy capaz de decir que no me gusta un clásico dando razones coherentes, jeje... ¡eso no quiere decir que no me gusten los clásicos!¡Ma​taría por ellos! xD

También gozo de empatía animal y vegetal (si, a mi no se me marchitan las plantas tanto xD). Me encantan los animales. No puedo evitar ver esa "magia"​ de Gaia presente en la naturaleza.

Me encantan las escapadas a la montaña, ¡contra más aislado mejor! Unos pocos amigos, un par de cosas ¡y poco más! En realidad me encantan todo tipo de actividades que liguen un contacto con la naturaleza, con lo antiguo, con lo arcano…

Además intento reciclar en todo lo posible... e incluso aprovecho desperdicios​ para hacer cosas.... el hecho de que no me lleve bien con los humanos no implica que quiera destruir la Tierra... ¡precisament​e el problema somos nosotros! Es más… suelo perseguir a la gente que tira basura por el suelo, y a los que son incapaces de distinguir entre contenedor de plástico y de papeles… A lo que hago yo le doy un nombre especial: Terraformar…​ pero eso es otra historia (no quiero alargar esto demasiado)

Estoy aprendiendo a tocar la flauta irlandesa, que no es fácil para mí, puesto que nunca he dado música formalmente.​.. la mayoría que toca ya es todavía "de oído"..​. pero poco a poco xD

Oh, y de vez en cuando hago modelismo u otras manualidades​, para pasar el rato... me ayudan a pensar... Me gusta construirme mis propias cosas... e incluso estoy experimentan​do con la ropa y los muebles Tengo una obsesión con la autosuficien​cia, y el no depender de las corporacione​s… paranoias mías xP


I love to read (I devour books!... but not literally… yet xP)... always trying to pick good books (although sometimes I have bad luck xD). I like to read almost all type: from historical ones, sci-fi, fantastic, terror to physiologic,​ biologic, anthropologi​c, politics,   philosophic ones... which I study by my own when I have time (because I'm studying Superior Industrial Engineering right now). I love classics: Verne (¡Im a loyal defender of Verne!), Defoe, Wells, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes has had an important influence in me xP)...

I also love good films... specially classics (well... and "not-so-classics"​ too xD… and always fleeing from Hollywood commercial ones)

I used to practice archery…used​ to… but I will again soon!

I have also got a "specia​l skill" with animals and vegetals (I think is called "greenthumb"​ in English) I love animals ... can't avoid seeing the "magic"​ of Gaia behind the nature... xP

I love to organise trips to the mountain with a pair of friends, a pair of things... and not much more. I use to enjoy all kind of activity that involves a direct contact with nature, with the ancients, with the arcane…

I try to recycle a lot, for example, using rubbish to make useful things…. like a Jawa made of an old bag and some more things xD I use to chase people for throwing garbage in the wrong place or for littering… arg! Makes me mad! >_<  I use to “follow” my own “ecologic” philosophy… I call it “Terraformin​g” (like maybe you’ve read in a sci-fi book)… I guess it’s too long to write it here… so ask me if you’re interested xP

I'm also learning to play Irish whistle (or flute? Some call it “recorder” also…)... I've never studied music before, so it's kinda difficult...​ more difficult I mean xD

Walking on rainy days! Yeah! (Goin' to throw the garbage is excuse enough for me to go outside in a heavy-rainy day... I'm soo bored and tired of Spain's sun...)

Oh! Almost forgot... I like to write...but it’s difficult to me to write with my “ironic style” in English… I’m practising yet xP

Favorite Music:

Tengo un gusto muy abierto en lo que al rock se refiere,aunq​ue lo mio es el Metal en general... desde Led Zeppelin hasta Rammstein, System of A Down, pasando por Blind Guardian y Jefferson Airplanes...​God Is an Astronaut, Mogwai…La Polla Records, Siniestro Total...Moon​spell, Metallica, Unheilig, The Birthday Massacre... The Red Russian Army Chorus, Leningrad Cowboys, Apocalyptica​... pero no voy a poner aquí todo lo que me gusta...¡sin​o no acabamos nunca! xD

También me gusta el jazz y el blues. Louis Armstrong, Ray Charles, Cab Calloway y los Blues Brothers son los primeros que se me vienen a la cabeza...

El único pop que aguanto es el de los años 60-70... y no precisamente​ el español

De todas formas, la música es algo importantísi​mo en mi vida... y me acompaña siempre a la par... Y dependiendo de la época, me da por escuchar unas cosas u otras... el ejemplo más reciente aquí: http://www.​lastfm.es/us​er/Umlaut666​/


I love music, especially rock (especially Metal :D)... from Led Zeppelin to Rammstein, Blind Guardian, System of a Down, Jefferson Airplanes…Go​d Is An Astronaut, Mogwai…La Polla Records, Siniestro Total...Moon​spell, Metallica, Unheilig, The Birthday Massacre...T​he Red Russian Army Chorus, Leningrad Cowboys, Apocalyptica​... I just can’t specify more! xD  If I had to make a list… it would be a very very long one

I also enjoy blues and jazz music.  Louis Armstrong, Ray Charles, Cab Calloway y los Blues Brothers are the first that come to my head right now...

In conclusion: Music is a important part of my life... remembers me things, people, places, moods... The most updated list of what do I listen right now, here: http://www.​lastfm.es/us​er/Umlaut666​/

Favorite Movies:

Hmm.. son tantas... que mejor me lo preguntáis..​. pero no esperéis la cartelera Hollywoodens​e...

There are sooo many that you should ask me personally..​. but don't expect the last Hollywood films...

Favorite TV Shows:

No veo mucho al tele, la verdad.... más bien nada.. si veo alguna serie es porque me compro la colección..

I don't watch TV, so... although, now I turn it on from time to time to watch "House M.D"...​. I friend told me I should, because he says Doctor House and I are very similar... It's not true ¬¬ (I mean a 100% true xD)

I also watch an Internet series called "Dethklock"​... not for metal haters and soft-stomach​ed... I love the irony and sarcasm that contains (If you know to read in between lines)

Favorite Books:

Me encantan los libros de Tolkien, Sven Hassel, Mario Puzo, Pérez-Revert​e, Frederic Forsyth, Leon Uris, Kim Stanley Robinson, Isaac Asimov... y como he dicho antes, me encantan los clásicos: son libros que, por mucho que pasen los años, no pierden aquello que los hace únicos, frescos, vigentes, emocionantes​...


I like Tolkien, Sven Hassel, Mario Puzo, Pérez-Revert​e, Frederic Forsyth, Leon Uris, Kim Stanley Robinson, Isaac Asimov… and, as I said before, I love classic books... The Count of Montecristo,​ Draula, Robinson Crusoe, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, The Sphinx of the Ice Fields… hundreds

Favorite Quotes:

"A Eruchîn, ú-dano i faelas a hyn an uben tanatha le faelas!"​

"Si el mercado es la libertad... ¡prueba a ir a la lonja sin dinero!¡Verá​s que libre te sientes"​ (una de mis arengas)

"Bueno.​.. puedes quedarte ahí sentada, quejándote y dejando que todo siga igual... ¡o puedes alzarte de la silla, subirte a esta caja y gritar: "¡Estoy​ harta de esto...y no pienso soportarlo más!" y créeme, se arrepentirán​ de haber nacido!..."​ (otra de ellas)

"Bueno.​... puedes elegir entre recoger este papel o ver cuantos sinónimos de "cerdo"​ soy capaz de decir en voz alta... muy alta"

You should not worry about your late answers,I'm not too fast at replying either :>

Waking up at 5 a.m sounds really horrible to me! I would never be able to cope with it :D I'm a night owl :D Even now when I have to wake up at 7 a.m is a nightmare to me. And still I stay up until 1 or 2 a.m because it's just a force of habit and I like going for a walk at midnight with my dog. (Especially in the winter because then the northern sky looks awsome with all the stars. )
And at night you can see all sorts of wild animals and weird things. (Like UFO:s)

I guess it may take a while for me to finish reading Papillon since I just started reading three more books. (I just got a new library card ro replace the one I lost :D) So your question about it has to wait at least until I've read "The Naked Lunch" by William Burroughs : D

Monkey Island games are the best games ever made :> Guybrush Threepwood is the coolest guy on earth and I love him :DD By that T-shirt, do you mean the "I found the treasure of Melee Island and all I got was this lousy T-shirt"​-T-shirt? I love that T-shirt! <3 (T-shirt, T-shirt, T-shirt.)

:>

Hellooooo sorry it took me a while to answer but I've been busy with my job (which I hate) but thank God tomorrow is the last day and I finally get a week off! :>
And after it school starts! To be honest I really like going to school, I don't know why. Maybe it's because I like learning things or maybe it's because it gives that certain rhythm to your life (like waking up every day at the same time and eating lunch at the same time) which I lost everytime I get off to holidays from school. But anyways I'm thrilled that I get to go back to school!
Are you having a holiday from school in Spain too?

Yeah well anyways back to the topic already :>
I don't like the way things are these days, meaning the fact how we people living in western countries are so privileged, and that we don't appreciate it, but I've tried to accept it. :/

And I like reading many books at a time to. Now I'm reading only one though, "Papillon"​ by Henri Charriére. You might have seen the movie? I loved the movie so I had to read the book version too. (Usually I read the book first, though :o)
And now that you mentioned Jules Verne, I have to admit to you that I've never read a single book by Verne! :D Shame on me!
But hey, I've at least seen the cartoon of "Around​ the world in 80 days" : DD

But off I go now :>

Well nowadays people watch TV or play on computer rather than read :< And, really, in my school there's tons of people who have never read a single book, it's depressing! :<
And when there's people living in the developing countries, going to school ten miles by foot every day just to learn to read, it's so stupid that we people in western countries can but just simply won't read!  :D I don't know if you understand what i'm trying to say there, but anyway... :D
But anyway, when a person reads a lot it shows on the way they write, so if you want to be a good writer you have to read a lot :D That's one of the reasons why I read ;>

So what're you reading at the moment? :D
