About Me

I used to have a fotolog, which is a place I used to post some pics of mine and other things related to what I most like: music. Buuuut... now it's been deleted - the guestbook isn't allowed for those who hasn't got an account (screw the fotolog owners!).

Talking 'bout life: I guess this happens to everyone; we don't know (we expect it too much though) and we can't even predict the future (some say they can), but each one feels deep inside from their spine (sometimes that shivering starting to go up all over your body and then it freezes you for a second) that something good - or even bad, we don't like to think about it - might fall from the cloudy skies and come straight to you, giving you all the luck you've ever wished for your entire life. This video shows very well this kind of point of view.
