This is from Jurgen’s CS profile: “At every moment, at every fork of the road there’s always something you should do, and something you want to do….. …go for the second option! Always go for the second option!” I met Jurgen back in 2007, and it inspired me a little bit. Of course, I’d met many people saying the same things before him, but he was the only one who lived like he wanted…
"About Jurgen"
This story starts in the fall of 2005, I had just moved from Rosario, to Buenos Aires and had to start supporting myself for the very first time. Thought it would be easy. It wasn’t. Of course. A month down the road, I had somehow managed to find a job but had miscalculated the remaining time before getting my first salary, so I didn’t have enough money to buy some food until I get paid and…

From all the countries I’ve been to, Japan was, for some reason, the one that made me wish I could live there forever. I don’t know if it was the kinky porn, the children’s cartoons or the depressingly suicidal business people. I’m not sure, but there was just something there that made me want to stay. And while in Osaka I tried as hard as I could to find a way to stay there permanently,…

Friend: Hey there. Bruno: Hey, how’s it going? Friend: I feel terrible, just had an argument with my parents. Bruno: Why? What happened? Friend: Well, I want to go on a holiday, but they don’t want me to go. What do you think I should do? Bruno: Mmm.. that sounds like a typical first world problem. And the solution is usually the same, just brush it off. Friend: What do you mean “first world problem”?…

It’s 1995. I’m still in primary school, hanging around with a friend called Facundo. Note: He was a hipster. It was the time when we were all watching The X-Files and wanting to be FBI agents. Note: We thought FBI agents were heroes, for some reason. So Facundo and I decided to start our own private detective agency. Note: We were 10 years old. We called it FBI of…
"How I met Retinitis Pigmentosa"
At the time of writing, I found myself on the top of a small hill on the Japanese island of Tsushima. Even though it’s a not such a high hill, from it you can see pretty much the whole island. I can see the only school on the island with some children playing football, I can see the ships coming and going, probably on the way to Korea, some other hills and a few roads…

I have recently come to terms with the fact that its ok to answer “nothing” to the question “what do you do”. Most of my life everyone around me said: “Bruno, you have to do something, you have to be someone, you have to do this and that, you have to be this and that.” You are what you do, they said. Our jobs make us proud, gives us honor, makes us decent people, if…

As I’ve mentioned, when people meet each other for the first time, 95% of times, they will ask each other a set of predefined questions in order to do one or more of the following things: 1- Judge each other. 2- Predict what course the relationship will take. 3- Place the other person in a social or hierarchical position either higher or lower to their owns. 4- Complete the first step in order to move to…
