The whole world is a stage, so don't you judge the actor by the character it plays. Take a seat and relax while I tell you about my wanderings in this wilderness called life. You can call me "The Dude" (or, if you're slightly more daring, "O Captain, my Captain!") part-time X-KID, full-time aficionado of life's grand theater. Eternally interested and perpetually disturbed. A pragmatic hedonist enraptured by aesthetic and freelancer born out of violence and rock and roll, I strive for bliss, lust for life and indulge in love. I'm interested in balancing my mind, body, and soul in between my light and shadow. All the absurd, stupid and amazing ideas that come to me, end up in here. Whether someone reads it or not, goes besides the point. This is no modern madness; This is my art, this is my heart... This is who I really am.
And who I am? An artist? A genius? A mystic? A madman? Let's settle with a dropout from the mundane script of a "regular" job. I opted for a self-directed curriculum in Programming. My philosophy, divination system and development tool is Astrology (Western / Vedic / BaZi) and Tarot. Life's too short for uninspiring roles, so I've chosen the path of passion over convention, knowing that each dream fulfilled requires sacrifices; The unavoidable casualties in the pursuit of dreams. I want it all... And I'm willing to work hard to get it and to make the best out of every situation. I've got a lot of aspirations and I value my education, so I learn on the daily and I'll never stop doing so. Perpetually curious, I am always seeking new information, useful or otherwise, in as much detail as possible.
I love to create, to produce, and make moves. My work comes from a place of obsession; I live for the rush of that bright moment of breakthrough, for the inspiration that shakes you at the foundation. I take it and live it; If I wrote it, I did it. If I don't love it, I don't do it. My mind is never at rest -An insomniac's playground- and I usually have my head in the clouds. I treasure being who I really am, and so I've broken many stereotypes and lived many lifetimes in one. Always chaotic, but never without a structure. I love to know what makes people tick, and I can read people extremely easily. I say what I think, write what I feel and photograph things that reflect my world. I think fast, make crazy decisions most of the time and hate to be told what to do or how should I think about something. I see what others can't, and think what others don't; It's hard to make a statement without being criticized, but I think that's the job of an artist.
Life is a fleeting journey marked by the ticking of a clock... Check how many weeks there are in a year, can you see how they go by so rapidly? That's why I have an unceasing urge to make tomorrow a better day. I choose not to limit myself to anything; I feel like I've got nothing to lose being whatever I want to be, and to do whatever I want to do. I mostly enjoy the simple things in life. I am very fun, creative and individualistic. I appreciate sarcasm and people who can take it and give it back. I joke around a lot and tend to be a flirt. I dive deep into passion, love and emotions with those I care about. I am a hopeless romantic -I would rather love too hard, than not enough- and I find beauty in everyone and everything around me. I am a firm believer in happy little accidents so I don't sweat the little stuff. I'm innocent and loving but within I am a vicious -and delicious!- spirit of lustful mischief; but hey... What would life become if I just did what everybody else does?
I love my life! Over the years I’ve met some pretty amazing people... Some became good memories, while others have changed my life completely. I am deeply grateful for all the things that have guided me in becoming the person I am now. Nothing has been handed to me and for that I am appreciative; If everything came easy in life, you might not truly value the worth of what you have actually been blessed with; Because there are rare occasions where the cosmos and the stars align in our favor, but most of the time we are the ones that have to work hard to make things align. Time is a Gift. Live your life and don't waste a single moment; It's not about the way you look, where you've been or who do you know. Life's not a competition, it's a story... So be sure to make it a good one!
Love&Rockets, "The Dude"
