About Me
 I'm a walking contradiction. A sometimes cold and rational industrial engineer who works in marketing for personal care products, is highly sensitive, soft and a hopeless romantic idealist despite everything. If you feel up to it, come check some of my latest rantings out at the Dreaming Chilango Blog or some pics at Dreaming Chilango Flickr Site
Comments and criticism of all sort are not only welcome, but encouraged.
I like driving fast, good movies, long conversations, brutal honesty and making friends.
I work in marketing for Unilever Latin America, based in Argentina.

Alejandro hasn't played any games recently.
Journal
I barely have the time or energy to write a few times a month... if that much. But when I do, I like a bit more flexibility... and the possibility of moving things around and editing, etc. So, much to my chagrin, I am relocating this journal/blog/notebook to a blog. If you really, really want to know what goes through my head from time to time, point your browser to the <a href="http://dreamingchilango.blogstpot.com">Dreaming Chilango Blog</a>. To the three people who have ever read this.... you're welcome to join the craziness over there. Thanks! Alejandro
