Dear Journal

                                                                                                                                      London, Friday June 9th, 1602

  My name is Maximus Desimus Meridius the lll; I'm 19 years of age.  I am a Knight, my religion is Catholic, and I am well-educated man, from the private education, where I studied and obtained my degree in military strategy, and I specialise in search and destroy missions, Yesterday, the honourable Lord Mayor of London, Robert Lee, invited me to attend one of Shakespeare's plays-Othello. I decided to accept his invitation because I haven’t seen any of Shakespeare's plays. and was excited to know what kind of actor was going to be the lead role in the play. To dress for the occasion I wore my silk hat with the feather of a bold eagle, and my extravagant black and silver attire, trimmed with the fur of a wolf and encrusted with the royal symbol, a gift given to me by her Majesty, Elizabeth the 1st. Before we headed to the Globe Theatre, the Lord Mayor and I ate a delicious meal prepared by my servants, consisting of the finest French wine, and the richest pork in England. Once we arrived at the theatre, we took our seats in the Lords balcony, the most luxurious seats in the theatre, overlooking the rest of the audience and stage. (These seats were priced at six pence, which was irrelevant compared to my annual income of three thousand pounds.) Looking around, I realized that we were the most exalted nobility in the theatre, and I was filled with pride, I would hate to live like those poor, dirty peasants who stood in front of the stage the entire duration of the play. Throughout the play the Lord Mayor and some of the other nobles shared the latest gossip of the queen's supposed affairs with, multiple members of her court. My other friends and acquaintances had gone to see the annual Black friar’s  Jousting tournament, which I had such desire to see, as I view the sport as a way to test your abilities on the field. After the play, Sir Brian and I were greeted by a carriage who took us to the grand ball that was taking place at the Duke of Cambridge's manor. A late night of wild dancing, drinking and feasting followed, and it was nearly midnight by the time I arrived back at the castle. I ended the night playing my favorite instrument throw the balcony as my mother used to play to my when I was a child.

Californian Mediterranean based on Santa Barbara style.

Because of my Spanish roots, I have always wanted to live in Spain. My future self would own a Californian Mediterranean home because this stile of home is based on Spanish houses. When one enters my home, one is greeted by a beautiful Old world stairwell in the entry. This stairwell represents my future self because i value and appreciate the past. the rail and cap were all costume-made. These reflect my attention to detail and my desire to add a personal touch. this is based on the master homes of European nobility and represents my family history as my Ancestors were from Spain.

The house welcomes you to go and see every room and explore the different utilities of the house. in the residence there is an art room, in these ''art room'' is where I created the sketches from the rail and the cap and since i like to relax sometimes i figured that will be a great time killer, in these room i like to integrate the old European sculpture and I desided to import pillars from Greece and incorporate these pillars to my art studio to give that refine filling to the room.

I personally like old classic American Muscle. In the house I incorporated a garage for cars and machanics, I really have a passion with classic cars and these garage is not for mechanics only, people that own classic cars can come and have a free time with their machines and every now and then a classic car show for the people in town so we cannot forget those childhood moments with your family and that special car.

the kitchen is designed with a middle beem and the chandelier that hangs from it so they would be positioned over the island. the chandeliere with waxed candles creates a soft glow over the island perfect for a good Spanish-style meals and these brings a family felling to the house. All the cabinetry in the house is custom designed and hand-finished. there's really no need for a dining room such a spacious island-perfect for food prep and seating a family of five.

in these particular house i like to involve the present and the past and the best way is to have modern technology in a beautiful Spanish design then the vest way is to have an over-sized space the rec room I incorporated the latest's sound system and with that a 60 inch LSD TV and a brand new X-BOX and a PS3 in these special area of the residence right across from these room is the pool and these creates the perfect party filling in these residence, and since i like to have my own time of relaxation I designed and

created a wine cellar for the rec room and the pool itself. Well that's all and now you know my dream house.
