My name is Guillermo Pineda and the pics included in this account are a quick review of my life. In the last years my life has been all about reading, eating, writing, driving, laughing, loving, talking, crying and traveling.

 

 

 

Some quick facts about me

 

- There's a quote that explains the way I live and behave: "swear by my Life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for the sake of mine." John Galt in Atlas Shrugged.

 

- My Wikipedia username is Condottieri

 

- My native language is Spanish and I speak English, French and German.

 

- I work(ed) as a Collection Development Head and Bibliographer at Ludwig von Mises Library. For a long time I considered this place my own special place to; but time changed and so did the people that worked there... I decided to leave and still have great memories of that times.

 

- I own a black French Poodle called Lolita (as in Nabokov's book).

 

- I do not play sports and I cannot remember when was the last time I had to kick a ball. Recently I started doing yoga, skiing and swimming! It has been an AWESOME change in my life!

 

- I was a National Champion of Chess when I was 15 years old.

 

- The first book I bought with my own money was an Advanced Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs. The Second book I ever bought was the National Geographic Atlas.

 

- I haven't wear and not even own a pair of shorts since I was 14 (update, I bought my first pair of shorts in the summer of 2008).

 

- I drink more than 5 cups of coffee a day and I don't like drinking Sodas (in the last years I've been drinkin' Coca Cola).

 

- I have always thought I belong to the clothing fashion of the 60s and the lifestyle of the 70s.

 

- I am terribly scared of chipmunks and mice. I love riding horses and I had a passion for collecting toys of Elephants when I was a kid.

 

- I have watched all of Star Trek episodes thrice.

 

- I hate watching TV and just watching people stare at it bothers me.

 

- I have a collection of more than fifty empty yellow highlighters I have used since January, 2003.

 

- If I could choose another life I will surely have chosen to be a black singer of jazz music.

 

 

You will find me either reading, talking or blogging.
