About
A few “elite” bloggers I follow tend to have a very resumed list of what they are, something like:
I am,
- Superman
- Wonderwoman
- Flash
- Batman
- The best thing since coffee
I am [insert Blogger’s name here]
I’m none of those. I’m just Marco Jardim, a young adult who currently lives on a very small island in the Atlantic Ocean, called Madeira. If you translate that word to English you’ll come to a funny conclusion: I live in “Wood Island”.
Right now I am trying to gather enough money to start a career in Web Design in England. To reach that goal, I write for the popular tech blog ForeverGeek under the nickname Griffith (more on him later), and I do a few site designs to give my Portfolio an updated view of what I’m capable of.
In the previous paragraph I mentioned Griffith, which is the nickname I usually use on most websites and games (the exception would be my Last.fm page). Griffith is a character from Kentaro Miura’s adult fantasy Manga (Japanese Comic), called Berserk. What led me to adopt his nickname is perfectly portrayed in the description from the Wikipedia article:
Griffith is willing to sacrifice everything for his dream of his own kingdom and believes that he is destined for things greater than the average man.
I find his ambition inspiring and my aim, in anything I do, is to become better at it than the average person.
