1. What kind of music are you into?

Lots, it depends on the mood I’m in.

2. Which historical figure would you kill if you had the chance, and there would be no repercussions?

If there weren’t repercussions, I don’t get the point of killing him/her.

3. What’s the story behind your url?

Pure random.

4. favourite painting/picture?

I don’t have any favourite, but I love the ones of Ferrer Dalmau. The latest which amazed me was this one (not by Dalmau).

5. worst movie you’ve ever seen

Not trying to say it is awful, but I expected a different thing of ‘The Russian Ark’, and I got tired of it in the 20th minute. Maybe I’ll enjoy it later in my life.

6. What do you want to do for a job?

I have a vast array of options, from politics to history, with a lot between.

7. Favourite Tumblr peep[s]?

Many, including you solfed-sparkles.

8. What’s the most important thing to you right now and why?

Trying to be happy I guess. I thing that must be the most important thing for us through all our lifes.

9. Nicest childhood memory.

Maybe when I used to play in the pine orchard with my brother next to the house that my grandfather owned (not anymore, unfortunately).

10. Why did you get Tumblr in the first place?

I wanted a place where I could interact with my interests.

11. Do you speak any other languages?

Yes, my mother tongue, Portuguese (european btw), and bits of Spanish and French (almost anything). I had a basic course of german for two weeks, but I don’t remember most part of it.

And my shitty questions are:

1. Where have you born?

2. What's your favourite hobby?

3. Do you have a lot of friends with the same interests as you?

4. Have you had any other Tumblr?

5. Nicest childhood memory?

6. What's your favourite historical figure?

7. What's your favourite celebrity?

8. What's your favourite movie/TV series/book?

9. What's your main dream?

10. What's your favourite school subject?

11. Do you have any political ideology?

Orange: 6 facts about my home town (I don’t live there now, but in a near town)

It was founded before the country itself, dating back to the Romans;

It has a castle;

It had 8 848 inhabitants in 2009;

It has a lot of monuments, mainly religious and aristocratic;

The French soldiers under Junot have passed through the city;

It has had historic importance to the development of the Port Wine.

Yellow: 7 facts about my childhood

I used to wake early in the morning to watch cartoons;

I had a crush for a girl, she hadn’t, and it affected me at the time;

I have a chronicle disease that was very hard to deal with, in my early childhood;

I had a tricycle that I didn’t left alone;

I used to be part of a journal, with some friends, in the primary school;

By the end of the first school day, I was very upset, because I haven’t learn how to write and read properly;

It was a happy childhood, looking back to it, and time passed slower.

Thank you Major General!

Hello my Portuguese friend, I would like to know more about the French revolution. Also, if you want to know anything about World war one, World war two, The Korean war, Or the Vietnam war i'll be happy to help.

Basically the people were hungry and got angry because the king spent all the peasant’s money (the nobility and the clergy didn’t pay taxes) in things like the American War of Independence and mostly in his court luxury.

French People: We’re sick of kings!!! Death to the kings!!! Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité is our thing now!

Louis XVI: My heeeeaaaaaddd……. (He got decapitated)

Napoleon: You’re sick of kings… hummm… what about emperors?

French People: Seems great!! (I find astonishing the ease how the French accepted Napoleon as the Emperor, but I can’t judge them, probably they were tired of violence)

Then the Napoleonic Wars begun. (My favourite War Period)

You can look for generals on Google;

Top generals by country in that time:

Portugal: Bernardino Freire

England: Arthur Wellesley (my favourite), Horatio Nelson (Admiral), John Moore

French Empire: Napoleon, Louis-Alexandre Berthier, Michel Ney, Joachim Murat, Louis-Nicolas Davout, etc, etc.

Prussia (favourite country of that time): Gebhard Leberecht von Blüche, Ernst von Rüchel

Russian Empire: Mikhail Kutuzov, Levin von Bennigsen (he was german)

Spain: Joaquín Blake, Miguel Álava Esquivel

Austrian Empire: Karl von Österreich, Karl von Mack Leiberich

If you want more about the Napoleonic Wars just let me know.

Well, by the way, if you could summarize The Korean War i’d appreciate it.

Cheers
