Hello to all! My name is Carlos Rosas, I was born on December 8th 1982, in the sunny city of Manaus, in the middle of the Amazonas state, Brazil, and I've been living here all those years. I always liked new and different things. Since a child I’ve liked American comics and British rock. I love comics! In fact what I wanted to be when I grew up was a comics writer, but things won’t always go the way we plan.
The first band I became a fan of was U2 but, after listening to The Cure’s Wish album, in 1992 or 1993, don’t remember exactly, I knew right at that time that that was my favourite band. Then came Siouxsie & the Banshees, Depeche Mode, and many others. To know what I’m listening to these days just visit my Last.Fm profile.
I have always been a person interested in what’s new, in many areas. Even though I’m quite shy and introspective, I decided I would have my background on Communications & Advertising. My final project was about comics, and I got the maximum grade (Yessss, NERD). I also have a post-graduation in Marketing.
I’ve been blogging since 2003, in Portuguese, and sometimes in English.
I also play Dungeons & Dragons, but I hate action movies such as Matrix, and I’m not veeery fond of Star Wars or Star Trek, so I’m not thaaaat nerd. But I adore Doctor Who. It’s my favourite TV show EVER!!! The new series and the classic one.
Besides that, I’m an extremely calm person, a little bit anxious. I’m not much of a party all night/every night guy (unless I’m in Helsinki), but I’ve been much more like that in the past. Even with my age, (I'm pretty young at heart) I think that the most important thing right now is my work and I’ve been working at Nokia Technology Institute since 2004.
My future plans are working even more, and getting out of Manaus. I want to live in another city, maybe other cities. I want to work, study, meet people, learn, and absorb information and culture. I’m also and easy going guy, I have a lot of friends and I really like making new friends.
I guess that’s enough, at least for a while, but to know more about me click on the icons on the upper left side of the screen or access my blog
here!!! It's mostly written in Portuguese.
