<p>I´m actually a 3D animator and soundtrack composer. I play the synthesiser sometimes just to play, what I feel at the moment, changing the timbres and sound textures, and my imagination performs 10 movies per minute LOL. Well, music is very comforting.<br />
But the thing I criticize myself is that i do everything through the computer, softwares for the image creation and edition, softwares for the music, softwares for everything...<br />
I should make something natural, by hand, using mineral inks, using materials (except for the robots I´ve constructed)<br />
... my robots... well, not so feminine artwork :(</p>
<p>Well, that´s me :)

			<description><p>No problem!<br />
You're a very inquisitive person. It's fun to see someone who wants to absorb as much information as they possibly can.</p>
<p>Are you artistic at all? There are some thoughts that just can't always be expressed through words and with a mind like yours that just never stops thinking, it might be refreshing to draw or paint a picture, write some poetry, or play some music. It's relaxing and it helps the mind quiet down because you're releasing some of your thoughts in a much different way that when you're just talking to people. Just a thought.

			<description><p>Two days had past since I cam here...<br />
I came here full of beliefs and totally desperate, and honestly... with not so much expectations.<br />
I just wanted to see people that lived an skeptic way, hear their thoughts, watch their behavior, contemplate their writtin way and how they build the phrases, trying to find the essence of the skepticism between the lines.<br />
To watch you people.<br />
I felt aggrieved sometimes, but I never forgot that hurting feeling was a mere reaction of my "believing mind" against your pressence.</p>
<p>I didn´t believe you would help me somehow (skeptic of me) and that was a good point, because I came here desperate but knowing this site is not the psychologist's couch. I always took it in mind.</p>
<p>I just wanted to know people like you, just to see how extreme was the distance between you and me.</p>
<p>Suddenly, after a few posts shared with you, I understood that there were no big distance between you and me, because, beyond my addiction to beliefs I always took everything with honesty, and at the moment that I felt that my hoesty was at risk, I became desperate, watching myself in the mirror, looking an addict... unwilling to move, paralyzed for beliefs.</p>
<p>If someone asks me how did I started (because this is just a begining) to deconvert from a compulsive believer into a free person, I really wouldn´t be able to tall an exact formula.</p>
<p>Curious thing, yesterday I asked you for that formula, and some of you people tried to write a formula for me, some others just rejected my beliefs and some others gave me some emotional support...<br />
nobody wrote the formula, but YOU PEOPLE HAVE BEEN THE FORMULA all together writting with honesty, mixed in a single post.</p>
<p>It has been a freeing experience to talk and share a space and some time with you.</p>
<p>You did just one single thing: Remind me I had to be honest.</p>
<p>And Skepticism is just a matter of honesty. I know what I know, and I can improve it day by day. But those things I unknow, I have to be strong to their vacuum and wait honestly until a real knowledge come to really fit that vacuum, and not try to fill the harsh vacuum with a sweet lie.</p>
<p>So simple like that.</p>
<p>So, thank you people! I got much more than I expected to get from you.</p>
<p>:)
