Hello. The simplest & yet convivial way to start things I guess.For some reason you stumbled across this odd thing that I'm writing.Welcome.



I should probably try to impress & captivate you all right off the bat. After all a blog is to be read, discussed, shared...

I should probably put some links to amazing sites & asked them to link back to me so I can have more & more readers as this progress. I should but I won`t.

This is the first entry of what I`d like to think of as a Journey diary. Why you ask constant reader?
Well for a number of reasons.
I'm closing in on the big ''thirties'' and still trying to figure my path in this funny place called life.
Also truth to be told I can`t say that I'm proud of the last(hum let`s say) 5 years of my life.
Now before you start thinking ``Oh great another woe is me blog`` I assure you it`s not the case. I truly want to write this as a record of the steps I`ll soon take to Grow Up... whatever they may be and do it with a positive,humanist view. Also this may serve as a reservoir for the thousands questions I have about the world.

I know it sound very conceited & naive(and maybe a bit new age) but who knows maybe you'll join me for a part of the road & share your own trials/travels.

See you soon

p.s For those of you that were curious about the image above it represent Ogami Itto the main character of 子連れ狼 Kozure Ōkami a cult manga that was created in the 70`s and in my personal opinion the best manga ever written. There are two reasons to explain why I put that picture there. The first one is obvious it is an Magnum Opus that holds a lot of sentimental value for me.

The second reason is that there some teachings in 子連れ狼 Kozure Ōkami that find resonance in my own journey. Throughout the whole story( a quest of vengeance) Itto follow what he calls the Byakudo (the white path ). It `s a perilous path full of strife, obstacles & loneliness sometimes. But it`s also a path of high moral values, of discipline, of light, of friendship, of Honor...
While I know that Itto is fictional, I would still like to attain this ideal, to walk this path... even if it`s only for a day...
