About Me

Welcome to my place!
I come originally from Mexico, where I was born and raised.
I live since 12 years in Europe: I lived 1 year in France, and since 11 years I live in Switzerland. Since 10 years I'm happily married.
I'm here b/c I wanted to write about my thoughts and maybe discuss them with people who may have the same interests.
My hobbys are things that can transport me to another worlds: Cinema, Music, Books and Traveling.
One of my passions is cinema and I try to go to theaters as often as possible (unfortunately never as often as I would like to...)
The last movie I saw was: "The dark Knight".
One special passion is Japanese/Taiwanese actor Takeshi Kaneshiro.
I also like just to listen to music and go to concerts: I love Porcupine Tree, It was Love at the first listening. :-) I just can't get enough of the Band: I've seen them 10 times live, 2 of them in Japan in November 2006 (more at the Blog Archive) and I could meet Steven Wilson last November in Zürich, :-) But if you want to know more about this story, take a look at the Blog.
My last PT adventure was meeting again the nice people of the PT Forum as well as meeting Richard and Wes and Mr. Wilson again in Tilburg after the shooting of their DVD. It was the most fantastic experience!!!.
And finally I also like to read as often as I can. The last books I read was "Harry Potter and the deadly Hallows".
I hope I can write about the movies, music, books, and countrys I get to know. Unfortunately, like most of the people, have not always time to do it...
