About Me:

I'm a student doing what they call "digita​l communication"​. It's a mix between communicatio​n and IT. I love music, but who doesn't... I also like European languages. I'm trying to learn some Spanish. I'm interested in history so I try to read books about that (global human history). Even though this country not the best place for it, I try to go scuba diving every week. I'm usually "not extroverted"​, but that completely turns around once I get to know someone. I have an opinion about religion, politics and humanity as a whole, so feel free to talk about any of that if you like. :-)

Requests:

I would like to talk to British people because I love the way they use their language, I like (what's left of) their culture (even though they were an evil empire, but which country wasn't at some point :P) and it would be cool to talk to someone from those islands off our coast. :-)

I like to use instant messengers (MSN/ICQ/AIM​), but I can write longer e-mails as well. One thing I don't like though is people who leave spelling errors in every other word or write messages as if they were texting.

Favorite Music:

La Vela Puerca, Café Tacuba, Ska-P, Manu Chao, Ella Fitzgerald, Madeleine Peyroux, Norah Jones, The Eels, Jarabe de Palo,  Земфира, Louis Jordan, Nouvelle Vague, Reel Big Fish, Regina Spektor, Stacey Kent, Zero 7, Diana Krall, etc.

Favorite Movies:

Joyeux Noël, A Scanner Darkly, Cast Away, Donnie Darko, Diarios de motocicleta,​ Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain, The Girl in the Café, Good Bye Lenin, Hard Candy, O Homem Que Copiava, Kukushka, Léon, Machuca, Man on the Moon, El Método, The Seven Year Itch, Into the Wild, Juno, Little Miss Sunshine, Snatch. :-)

Favorite TV Shows:

I absolutely hate today's popular TV shows, so I gave away my TV, but some series I like(d) to watch: Futurama, The Green Wing, Dead Like Me, The Office.

Favorite Books:

Fiction:
1984 (who hasn't read this one :-) / Jennifer Government  / Apathy and Other Small Victories

Non fiction:
No Logo / The Shock Doctrine / Guns, germs and steel / Collapse (now reading)

Favorite Quotes:

These are rather random, from different places, but I like them.


It is an endless battle, this little man vs big. The end, tragic. Freedom continues to erode as we watch films and play games that spin yarns of great battles where the little man wins in the face of oppression. Freedom they cry... but never will they have it.
- Someone on Slashdot.org​


This one I like, but that doesn't mean that I live up to its philosophy:
"Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark; professional​s built the Titanic."​


Some favourite lines from the Hitchhiker's​ Guide (yes they are simple but they make me chuckle):
"Lookin​g like a man trying to unbend a corkscrew by telekinesis."​
"There is an art or rather a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss."
