Alternate reality (now the author is talking)
Well… as soon as I wrote the first post, someone already told me that my idea can be found in some psychology books, on the disease section. Well, I am flattered. I don’t consider myself “normal”, at least in the way society understand this notion.
In these circumstances, I thought it would be nice to write a short article on why I am doing this story series.
Everything has begun one day… while I watched a commercial aired on PRO TV. To make the story short, this commercial changed my life. Before it, I was an IT guy with some art talents. After that, I made my first steps to directing and photography.
Directing… is something astonishing. It allows you to create worlds, people, places, stories and anything you can think of. Directing is a way of life. It simply molds into your real life, it is becoming a 2nd reality. Sometimes, when I write a script, I found myself there, in the middle of the action. I think and I act in that reality. And let me tell you one thing: that reality is the one YOU want it to be. Sometimes, “real” life can be dull, you cannot have control of many things. You cannot control at what hour the school near your house rings the bell and wakes you up (today it happened at 7:30, and I was supposed to wake up @8:30). And there are so many other things.
So.. directing is all about creating life as you see and want – and then sharing it. It’s simple as this. And believe me: when people like what you create on the screen, there is no better drug on this planet. And best of all – it’s legal and free. 
Coming back to this series of stories – It’s just an attempt to say thank you to everyone I met in and provided me great life experiences. Add a little bit of imagination and voila! this is what you are reading now.

Hi! My name is Rodrigo. I have around 30 years, 1.85 and 80 kg.
Throughout the years, I lived a lot of things. Some good, some bad. I have been good with people, or bad to people. I made people leaf and I also made people cry. I cheated, I have been cheated, sometimes I said a lie – usually a decent one. I like some people and I hate others. I’m just a regular guy. Like you (if you are a male).
Today something happened to me. I was taking a bath, letting the thoughts fly. A dear friend of mine said that thought are like trains – sometimes you catch them, sometimes there are simply too fast to stop them. And then, the idea stroke me: I have a lot of things to say. Some are good, some may help others to avoid mistakes I made. Some things are funny. Especially after some years.
The decision was simple: I will start to write. I don’t know when or how often. I don’t even know how much truth will be in my stories (I dare you to find out). If I will want to invent something, I will do it. This is all about life. Life with good things and bad things.
If you want, you can read my stories, and maybe learn something. Feel free to ask questions, I might answer.
So, welcome to my “Backdoor stories” !
