Yet another upcoming project…

And I am looking for a good name.

I want to stop thinking about it and just call this new site something stupid..

What would be stupid enough? Any suggestion is more than welcome!

The Burning Crusade; or how to waste a lifetime

The Burning Crusade

I am really tempted to try the new World of Warcraft expansion.

I heard a lot of people say it is remarkable.

But the truth is, if I get it, I’m going to be spiraling down into deep unproductivity. Although, I must say, I haven’t been very productive either without the game, so that probably would serve me well, if taken in moderation, to relax a bit during my pauses..

It’s strange: I seem to grow uninterested with pretty much everything these days. Got myself a Wii, played it quite a bit and now it’s been like 2 weeks since I last touched it.

Oh well, I’ll give TBC a shot, anyway..
I will play on Burning Legion EU. If you’re there, shoot a /w to Archaic. See you on the other side!

Tetris: There is SO much you don’t know about it

Have a look at this documentary on arguably one of the most famous games in the world.

From Russia with Love, TETRIS

I look like everyone you know

I’ve always thought that Asimov looked a lot like my grandfather (who looks a lot like me). So, after the previous post, I started messing with Photoshop and.. I got a bit carried away. The thing is that a lot of people think I look like someone. This is probably the first installment of an egocentric series of posts. Comment with suggestions for future look-a-likes (or just send me a pic)!

Isaac Asimov
Asimov's Heir?

This Asimov one doesn’t look too good, after working with the others, actually..

Fabio Quagliarella
Quagliarella's Brother?

A good italian football player. My friends say I look like him in the b/w picture to the right.

I got told I look like Johnny Depp too a few times in the past (I used to have long hair). Although I think I look nothing like him, I couldn’t miss the chance to impersonate a pirate, virtually the coolest thing on earth.

Cristiano the Pirate YARR!

YARR! Ahoy Mateys!

Diving in a Sea of Beauty

Friday, February 2nd, 2007

Whew, what an altisonant title today!

For the passionate readers out there, I give you a little bit of homework:

Isaac Asimov

1 - Read Isaac Asimov’s favorite story of his, “The Last Question”. It will blow your mind away even though it’s relatively short. It will make your day, I promise!

Sir John Lennon
2 - Listen to the song “Don’t let me down” by The Beatles (forgive my excessive capitalization, I can’t help it when I like something. So, take heed, if your name is John and I call you ‘john’, I probably hate you). It’s a very simple and yet beautiful song. You know those parts or riffs on certain songs that just make you smile when you hear them? Well, this song makes me smile from start to finish.

So it’s all for now. You are on the internet and this means the two following things to me: you have the tools to do your homework and you have the time to do your homework. So, go and, when you’re done, leave me a comment expressing your feelings, and telling me if you liked those pearls of the big oyster shell which is the human brain.

P.S. Some may argue that I have obsessed over virtually every Beatles’ song. And I won’t deny it. But that one really is a gem. Don’t be put down by my passion for the fab-four.. Don’t let me down!
