"Visito a Lua num olhar, eu e ela vamos viajar..."

    -- A Lua e o Sol, Sé7ima

Trindade, Trindade... eu mereço colocar o pé na areia depois de tanto tempo sem descansar, depois da quase certeza de que não vou ter sequer um dia de férias para gozar em 2006.

Vou ver a Lua e o Sol lá onde existe natureza e liberdade, aquele lugarzinho mágico, mesma pousadinha, mesmo esquema, hoje um pouco mais sussa e levemente eufórico, certamente por causa das expectativas positivas para o ano que vem.

Até mais!!

PS: 15 de janeiro de 2006, reserve esta data!!

7 SEAS

In the Rock in Rio III I watched one of the most amazing concerts ever, Guns N' Roses, a childhood passion live, in front of my eyes, Welcome to the Jungle, Sweet Child O' Mine and everything. But at that night, apart from the music being almost identical to what I was used, something was different on the stage. The legendary guitar player Slash and most of the other musicians weren't there. Axl explained:

"I tried to call the others but they said 'thanks but I have more important things to do', so I said FUCK'EM!"

After that he started introducing the other members (I'll never forget that weirdo wearing a mask and a bucket on his head). The first guy Axl introduced was a blonde guitarist, don' remember his name, could be Paul or something, what I remember is what Axl said about him:

"He was already a great fan of the band and today, without this man, there would be no more Guns N' Roses."

I immediately sympathized with him! What an important role! But the fact that this guy was the one, no matter how, responsible for Guns N' Roses existing there in front of me that night wasn't what surprised me most. The word fan sounded rather unbelievable. Imagine yourself, a musician, fan of one of the greatest rock bands of your generation, being called by the band leader to play with them, to be part of them, that entity you always admired, respected and loved...

Well, today I feel kinda like this blond guy must have felt at Rock in Rio III. Not that I'm going to be a member of something this great, but 20 minutes ago I was officially invited to such a thing, something I only told to my girl that could happen, something I hope will be one of the most important shirts I'll wear in 2006...

[now imagine the end of Back to the Future's music, see that DeLorean flying and exploding on your screen and imagine the sentence bellow in red and yellow right in the center ]

Skiing?? Sure!!

I'm home now.

That's all folks!!

Last day online?

Maybe... IETF is over and theoretically I have connectivity for just a little bit more than 1 hour. Today I'm also moving to another hotel, I'll spend the weekend here.

It was a cool experience, it is being a cool experience. Good to see old friends, change the air I breath for a couple days, buy some stuff like that new green M3-power by Gillette, Maltesers and sour Skittles, feel saudade...

Yesterday, being honest, I didn't feel like being here anymore, I was really missing home, my bed, my bedroom, to wake up by her side, just spend some time doing absolutely nothing. If I do nothing here I'm wasting time, I'm missing opportunities in a place I don't know when I'll be back again.

Fact is I liked this city. Not only it's in Canada but also it's just like Sao Paulo, Campos do Jordao and Florianopolis at the same time! I'm planning to return next summer, maybe in July. Just an idea I'll think about better at home. Just like living here some day, another idea...

That's it for now, folks. Cya!!

Wizard's Apprentice

It's just like the Quidditch World Cup, heaps of witches and wizards from all over the world gathered in a public place. Non-wizards look at them and certainly notice there's something odd, but they will never wonder these people are wizards.



I updated the album with some pictures of the event, Vancouver night and, of course, some of these wizards.

Now I introduce you the people responsible for literally building The Internet!!

Have you been missing me??

Shopping, sauna, jacuzzi, bath and now I'm going to the stadium watch a "football" game! Shooow!!

Localtime: SP - 6h

Still lazy to extract pics from the camera...

Du!!@Vancouver, CA

Just arrived, I'm here in my room with the two colleagues I came with.

The sky is cloudy and I've seen just a small bit of the city while in the cab from the airport to the hotel, but I already feel I'll fall in love with this city! It's beautiful, it's not as cold as Toronto in the winter, it's got sea and, the most important, it's Canada!! ;)

I'll be back soon with more news and pictures! C-ya!!

"Tell me something, tell me anything"

    -- Groundation, Head Strong

No, I didn't watch the Groundation concert and it wasn't my fault. If I had a boat I would have fought against San Peter but, unlike someone I know, I have no intentions of ever buying any.

Friends? I went to the mexican restaurant last Monday with some of them. I almost didn't find somebody to replace the missing one, I'm afraid I don't have as much friends as I once had anymore. What's the point of that?

"As pessoas são tão loucas, né?" -- yes, they are. Fuck'em all, though, it's their problem. Perhaps this is a major signal I shouldn't ignore. Let's think about this issue when I arrive back.

Leaving on a Jet Plane tomorrow, once again. Let's hope everything is gonna be all right.

Marijuana sucks, just like any other drug.

I got a pair of tickets to watch one of the Dream Theater concerts in December, here in Brazil. They are in one of my drawers under the printer.

The P200 I bought has a software bug =(

Enough.

(QOTD: "She's in love with you"; funny, but I don't think so...)
