I am in an never-ending quest in search of discoveries and beautiful stories. I enjoy doing challenging and creative things, I don't like easy stuff.

If I had enough time, I would learn to play all the instruments in the world, and why not, make new ones, too. I wish I could read music fluently and feel the vibrations with my body, as if they were an extension of my breath, my heartbeat.

I want my art to make people emotional, make their heart stop, have convulsions, see through them, touch them in their deepest fears and loves.

I'm also probably all of the following cliches and stereotypes: idealist utopian crazy anarchist anti-capitalist cyberpunk geek hacker futurist visionary social engineer activist free spirit Internet nerd, and I believe everything should be free and open source.

Yes, free.

Free as in free speech, free as in free beer, FREE AS IN FREAKING FREE!. If you enjoy doing something, just do it damn it, stop putting a price tag on everything. People should wake the fuck up and evolve out of their egomaniac attitude.

If you want to know how I feel about politicians, freedom of choice, or the american dream, George Carlin pretty much sums it up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acLW1vFO-2Q

The best of it. No, seriously, I am. :)
It's a continuos discovery, a beautiful challenge.

I want to make a positive contribution, but not just for somebody. I honestly want to save millions of people, and it's not just smalltalk. The realisation that helping others was the single thing that made my happiness was a revelation, an epiphany. So, that's what I am doing.

Dancing. Improv. Make shit happen.

Talking. Reasoning. Make people understand complex things in simple terms, without making them feel idiots.

Sometimes I fail, and I feel an idiot myself. Oh well, life goes on.

Sometimes I just go Berserk. I have to move, dance, roll on the floor or get insane at a concert. They tell me I'm pretty good at that, too.

I know how to manage things, have a wide-range vision, and make decisions. Often people rely on me for that.

I can only say what I am being told. Empathy. Being crazy. Energy. Inspiration. Intellect. Confidence.

However, I think what I haven't been told is much more revealing.
I'm sure that if there was a replica of me, I would be annoyed as fuck by him xD

Books
1984 by George Orwell. This book has deeply influenced my life.

I felt strongly about Lisbeth Salander in The girl with the dragon tattoo, a cyberpunk, outcast, hacker with a deranged sense of justice, too smart for the people around her, too crazy to be normal, free of prejudices and uncompromisingly cool.

I like scientific literature and reason. I eagerly devour books by Leonard Susskind, Sam Harris, Piergiorgio Odifreddi, Marcus du Sautoy, Brian Greene, Bertrand Russell, Ray Kurzweil, and many other great minds.

Music
Radiohead, Mogwai, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Nine Inch Nails, Tool, 65daysofstatic, Muse.

Films
Where do I begin?
Almost anything created by Shinya Tsukamoto is a freaking masterpiece and should be a mandatory study on all art and cinema schools of the world. Too drastic? Go ahead and watch them. You'll understand.

Darren Aronofsky is possibly my favourite American Director. It's strange how an artist at this level can only ameliorate as time goes on. Pi was a psychotic cyberpunk mathematical adventure, Requiem for a Dream made me cry my guts out, The fountain was pure poetry in action, The wrestler did something I didn't think was possible. It made me care for a wrestler (???). And Black Swan, oh dear, Black Swan. Wow.

Possession by Andrzej Zulawski was the most disturbing and emotionally shocking film I have ever seen. Sometimes I freeze and and have the chills just by reminiscing some of the scenes, let alone watch it again. It almost gives me convulsions. The true essence of artistic freedom, filmography at its peak.

Hayao Miyazaki. The humanity, the sense of affection and of belonging that only he can provide. His films are like a distant dream, yet when I watch them I am engulfed and immersed in this fantastic world, as if I was already there, but I just forgot.

Finally, The Matrix has influenced my life so much that I can't even begin to describe it. It was the beginning of a journey, which I am still embarking.

Graphic novels
The graphic novel Berserk by Kentaro Miura is simply the most amazing, awe-inspiring story that I ever read. It would be safe to say that almost anything I learned in life can be, at some level, brought back to this story and the teachings in it. It is in situations like these that words fail me.

Watchmen. Not the film, the twelve-issue graphic novel by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. Yes, I read it before the film came out. No, I'm not comparing the two. In fact, I'm exactly making the distinction: one is art, the other is not. Wanna guess which one?

Web comics I enjoy
xkcd - a webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language. Basically a geek bible. My universe.
Dresden Codak - a celebration of science, death and human folly. Obligatory read if you read any of Kurzweil's works, and have a general knowledge of physics and accelerating change.
The Oatmeal - stinking, rancid awesomeness.
Dilbert - life in a cubicle.
PHD Comics - the life a of typical researcher. I can confirm, it's all true!

The Internet.
Music.
Sex.
Finding things out.
I guess nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon?
Change, motion, evolution. What is non-static.

How to fix the world.
Make a film that will inspire millions of people.
How to do something really, really cool. And give it away. For free.

I have no typical Friday night.

That's something you have to earn. Capture me.

If you are apathetic, don't even bother. I love people with passion. If you don't like music, close this page now. I need vibrations.

If you are boring, or if you are usually bored, GTFO.

If you are racist, homophobe, nationalist, if you like wars, imperialism, if you believe the world is 10,000 years old and that humans did not evolve from simpler life forms, if you believe people should be killed for any reason and hold them responsible for their actions because some sort of intelligent being gave us "free will", if you believe science is "cold", if you believe we can't make the world a better place because "that's the way things are"... please, just move along.

If smart people scare you, go away. Also, I'm sick and tired of hearing "how smart I am" or "how many things I do". I don't like to be idolised. If you want to even remotely interest me, you have to challenge me. Intellectually, sexually physically, artistically, I don't care. Be interesting.
