about me


Ok hey, thats me here on the right so click on the picture to view more pics. Yeah, i'll start with the basics, my name is Miguel Santana da Silva, And i have an amazing girlfriend called Carrie who i love to bits.
I was born and brought up in Portugal by the seaside and countryside up until year 8 at age 12 when I moved to Glastonbury and have been living here since and I'm now 16.
I study at Strode College in Somerset, UK, where i do a National Diploma BTEC in Multimedia Production and A-level Photography.
I'm in a rock band called Tijuana who have gigged all over in places like Staines, Surrey, Devon, Plymouth and of course all around Somerset and Wiltshire.
We have been featured in the July edition of the FHM magazine and have been recently interviewed for an american radio station, as well as having played live and interviewed for the BBC Somerset radio. I'm not trying to brag, just showing where we're at.
Now onto more personal stuff, I'm a person who is into making a whole range of artistic outbursts. Digitally, as you can see on my myspace and editing of pics, also through photography, with poetry and lyrics (read some on my blog or lyrics on band's page) and with my voice with the band.
I get annoyed when people are always depressed, they just attract that state of minds upon themselves to be honest, also with so many people starving to death and all sorts of horrible shit and here we are with the world at our fingertips with the click of a mouse daring to moan at life's many trivial disturbances?
Smile and become aware of the beauty around you for god's sake, move on, live and love.
I believe in justice, in truth, and in freedom, I'll never just be another face in the crowd, another fish in the sea or another slave to the system and its conditioned lies.
It is hard proving that when I am only 16 and still heavily dependent on society, but small steps will get me closer to my accomplished self.
Call me what you want for it, but i spend a lot of time reading and watching and researching about what our governments get up to behind our backs, and believe me it ain't pretty.
In poetry from now on my main goal is to spread a word, a message, an idea throughout humanity and try and open as many eyes as possible.
If you want to find out more about it then message me or whatever.
If i seem like the sort of person who you'd get on well with, add me on here and on msn (on the right)

My thoughts on everyone i know and the rest of humanity and reality

I am currently pissed off with myself and other humans.  Why is it that we only truly value things when they are gone? If we suddenly became deaf or blind, then that would be the only time in whi...
