My friends call me a “funny guy” but most of the time I don’t feel like one, once a hot headed brat I’ve now become a level headed guy that keeps he’s cool and tries to sees things rationally. On the other hand I’m terrible when it comes to the opposite sex, that’s what happens when you’re shy and not a very social person, actually I’d go as far as labeling me as an almost-hermit (but not really).
I keep my feelings to myself making me very moody going from happy to sad in a matter of minutes, but then again we all have our problems. Still, I hope to change that one day, be more communicative and social, this blog was a step in that direction even if not a big one.
Computers! They have become a central part in my life, but I think I can still safely say that if they “accidentally” disappeared from the face of the earth that I’d still be ok. I also like this little planet of ours called earth, when I’m in a good mood I stop and wonder how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful and magic place.
I don’t like the way human tend to care only for themselves and fuck everyone else in the process especially when it’s for profit, it’s a shame we are all like that (me included), I guess the day that changes is the day utopia will become possible. In the mean time, having honest and loyal friends are well worth it.
Besides that there isn’t much I could tell you, if you really want to know more just read the entries on the blog, that should give you a better idea of who I really, that is if such a thing is even possible.
His Lair: My room, the place I spent at least 60% of my life (real numbers may be scarier though). It’s a small room just a little bigger them my bed just enough for my Computer and stuff, lot’s of stuff because like I always say “you never know when you’re going to need that thing you have no use for now” or something like that. Being such a small room there where times that I felt trapped and confined, almost choking inside of it, eventually I decided to do something about it and built a tower for my bed where my computer could lie under, it was good and happiness returned to the lair of DaF.
His Gear: My beautiful computer not because it look good (but it does since I have leet cable management skillz and 3 clear panels 
) but because of all the things I can do with it and of course related tech stuff, this stuff isn’t everybody’s dish but if you’re a geek like me you’re always curious to know what the “other guy” has, so here goes…
