Extraordinary stuff

Journal Entry: Tue May 8, 2007, 7:56 AM
There's this extraordinary stuff thingy going on around some journals and I have also been given a letter - by an evil spirit :D - so as to write a list of things I like. It was by no means easy to do this; it took me a few days to write down the things I like the most starting with A.

So here's my list:

Adelaide

This is my mum's name lovely name. If I had a baby girl, she would probably be named after my mum.

Art

Creativity and imagination are as important as anything else. I'm very fond of painting and all sorts of traditional art. However I do appreciate other types of art such as graffiti and digital photography.

Abstract

I value expression more than realism or details. That's why I'm very enthusiastic about abstract painting and I tend to look at classicism as boring.

Attitude

A positive attitude towards life and people (which is not as easy to achieve as one might think but it's something that can be done though) helps me to succeed in the things I find essential to live a full life.

Alternative

I both appreciate and value alternative lifestyles and tastes. Dare to be different that's my motto.

Anne's Square

That was one of my favourite spots in Manchester (town centre) during my stay there 10 years ago.

Alain de Botton

One of my favourite writers. He uses philosophy as a way of improving one's life. There are two absolutely amazing books by him which I always advise friends to read:
Essays in Love and The Consolations of Philosophy.

Alberoni (Francesco)

Also one of my favourite writers. He's a sociologist and writes about love, friendship and human relationships. His last book also comprises the topic of sex. I had the great pleasure to attend a reading of his last book some months ago in Lisbon.

Absolution

It's not my favourite Muse album but it has one of my favourite songs of all times: Time is running out.


Now then... that was fun! :D

The states of awareness we currently perceive are only a thiny fraction of the whole.
The continuum extends deep into nonphysical areas of the universe far beyond our current physical comprehension
