Hobbies and Leisure

Despite the appearances, I'm not a workaholic. I'm lucky because I happen to love my work, but life is a gift I must flavor, not dedicate to a cause or a job.

When I play football, I just forget about everything else. Despite the injuries, pain, and sacrifice, I will play football as long as my health allows.

I also love music. I started to play guitar in high school and in 1999 I made a demo-album called The Legend of Hrothgar. I continue to play guitar and keyboards and I cannot imagine life, a happy life, without such beautiful art.

I've always spent a lot of time with computers, ever since I got my first ZX Spectrum. Nowadays, computers are part of my work. Even so, I still find time to play the odd game of counter-strike.

One of the latest hobbies I discovered is stand-up comedy. It's a unique, amazing experience. I have a comedy section that includes a news satire section as well as cartoons.

Maybe because I'm a scientist, I have always enjoyed reading science fiction. Some years ago I started to write science fiction as a joke. Now I write fiction for fun and fame, though the latter I'm still to achieve.

Lastly, I also have a brief essay on the cities I've lived in.

In a nutshell, my hobbies are:

• Music
• Football
• Comedy
• News Satire
• Cartoons
• Computers
• Science Fiction

Lastly, I also have a couple of texts that some may find interesting:

• Around the World (10/09/08)
• O Fim da Maldição do Bambino (05/11/04)
