:: Me, aka myself

     Nearly 47 years ago a tragic, although awaited, event marked forever the life of my parents: at 6.00 pm on a day at the end of November the under signed saw the light.

     Since that very moment there have been two poor puzzled and disconcerted biologists who still don't understand what their mistake was, and what the hell Mendel was raving about when he wrote that stuff about peas. But being gifted with faith and endless patience they accepted this unnatural heir; now busy in home breeding of Reptiles, now bewildered in intricate forests in far Countries whose names and dialects are unpronounceable, now undertaking organization of improbable activities in a strange world called the Internet.

     After spending due time at Turin University studying Natural Sciences, becoming a quite well-known amateur herpetologist, he suddendly decided to apply for a job in a major marketing company and soon became an appreciated marketing consultant (Does it makes sense to you an... herpetological marketing consultant?), keeping up the good job in this and other closely related environments.

     Since about six years a graceful, stoic lady of nordic heritage, after committing the thoughtless action of leaving the cold, but comfortable St. Petersburg to accept a wedding ring, supports the two discouraged parents wondering whether this strange individual still bears a spark of clear-sightedness.

     During the long nights spent in symbiosis with his modem, the alien continues to plan, produce, dream, and translate in bytes his raving passions. A late courageous attempt to interface his right temporal lobe with a router produced even more - if possible - permanent damage, throwing in discouragement both the Board of Cisco Systems and a certain number of hosts living in home terrariums.

     There is a rumor that on some dark nights a faceless creature is surfing the Net still looking for his lost identity. The new millennium is already here since a few years. Is anybody going to offer me a Daiquiri ?
