Spaces

I enjoy reading the Bible and exploring different translations to deepen my understanding of each verse. In this space, I want to keep those that for one reason or another, have left a mark on me and that I recognize as valuable lessons for life.

“It’s not a low art, you know. I want you to know that. What I do means something to millions of people. My folks didn’t have the money or the education to go to the theater… And you know what? There’s beauty there. What happens up on that screen means something.” Jack Conrad

A journal of the lines that stay with me: Goethe and Borges, Rulfo and Martel, the whole of Buesa’s Poema del olvido read against three paintings by Winslow Homer. It began on X and it keeps going here, arranged by the voice that wrote each line.

These are the soundtracks of my life, carefully selected for appropriate character development and growth in each arc.

Life becomes more beautiful when accompanied by laughter, and comedy reminds us that we all share the same follies and failures. South Park is my favorite comedy show, for its sharp satire and social critique: here are my favorite episodes, character by character, in the Latin American Spanish dub.

My name is Daniel Felipe Montenegro, that’s what my friends and people who know me call me. Instead, here I am known as “Mi Amigo Melquiades”, not because of the need to hide my name, but because of the sum of all the things that have brought me here…

Max, Dante, Luna, Cosmo, Kiki and Dogo: the companions who have shared my home and left their paw prints on my heart. Some of them are still here and the others live on in every memory, from Max’s first day to Dogo’s, the dog Dante adopted before he left. This is their corner of my website, so they can stay here forever.
