Exposition
I'll like to read all these things when I'm 64. It will probably appear that I was someone else, when I was young. Maybe it'll be true: Time can dig deep lines on our faces.

No title
The processes are everywhere. Most of them are basically "greed" cases: somebody refused to pay someone for something. Insurances. Services, such as powering or watering. Some others are related to simple misunderstandings, wich the contenders could easily work out. But no, they want to fight, to stress each other.

My new house is filthy. I don't have the time to clean it. Some of my clothes I'll have to burn them, probably.
***
I wish I had more time to study. But I have to work, in order to maintain myself. I live alone, have lots of expenses.

- E aí, Paulão! Tudo certo? Me conta como vão as coisas! Fiquei sabendo que você comprou um Filho Robot!
- É, modelo Standard... o software é o Microsoft Pedrinho 3.0. A minha mulher não tava a fim de sangue, achei melhor comprar um robô, já pago de uma vez, é fácil de limpar...
- Mas e como tá indo? Bateria boa?
- Não te contei o problema que deu? Então vou contar... ontem ele foi pra escola... lá um menino humano fraquinho, que tem metade do tamanho dele, tropeçou e derrubou ele no chão.
- Nossa. Mas e daí? O que o Pedrinho fez?
- O Pedrinho levantou intacto, disse para o menino que não tinha problema e que queria ser amigo.
- Caramba... modelo Standard mesmo? Tô surpreso.
- Eu também tô. Acho que ainda tá na garantia... mas se não der pra trocar, eu vendo pra desmanche.

Anxiety
The english test worries me. I don't know enough this language, but a diplomat needs to know it better than a native speaker. As you can see, I have not enough information about the tongue. But I have time, I won't spend the night awake thinking on it.
I'll have to learn spanish or french, also. Those are easier, resembling portuguese. But there's much work to do about.
The other subjects are hard, as well. International politics, brazillian history, economics, law... My brains might explode. Well, there's not too much wasting, if it happens.

administração doméstica
Morar sozinho não é uma atividade simples, inicialmente.A total falta de conhecimento de como dirigir uma casa leva a descobertas incríveis a respeito da gênese de coisas simples como panelas e talheres.
De fato, quando eu era membro de um lar compartilhado com pais e irmãos, a superstição me era a principal fonte de explicação para uma série de fenômenos cotidianos.
Eu costumava creditar aos duendes o aparecimento súbito de roupas limpas e passadas no meu armário. Também na cozinha aconteciam coisas misteriosas: boa comida brotava nas panelas sobre o fogão, quando ninguém olhava - obra provável de algum saci.
Por outro lado, o chão, os móveis e o banheiro muito limpos me faziam crer que, na verdade, eu que era muito higiênico e não sujava nada, em raros momentos de lucidez...
Vivo agora na era das luzes, em que a razão derrotou o misticismo.
O momento dessa mudança foi o dia em que descobri a necessidade de uma geladeira, de um fogão (instalado), de panelas, copos, talheres, vassoura, rodo, balde, toalhas, pasta de dentes, escova de cabelos, cama, roupa de cama, mantimentos, sofá e televisão. Basicamente isso.
Digo "basicamente" porque todo dia se descobre um monte de coisas que se precisa ter em casa para uma vida confortável ou, ao menos, de coisas que se tornaram uma necessidade tão grande que eu nem percebia suas existências.
Assim como só se pensa em um pé quando ele dói.

Alone
Return
I left my english course, had no choice. I'm out of time. But I'll be back, that's stronger than me.
The most revelant is my moving. I left my parent's house and settled on the east side of the city, near subway. I'll have to cook, wash clothes and pay the bills. That's all right, men do all those things.
It seems that, year after year, the world gives more and more opportunities, different ways to follow in. It can drive you nuts, if you are not quite prepared. You have to make decisions quickly, otherwise life pass by and you didn't do anything in the meantime. Choose fast the direction you'll settle for.
Man, I have to change the colors of my blog.

Hábitos
Daqui em diante leio só coisas legais, por mais que sejam completamente bobas. Pessoas malas, nem olho na cara mais: não tenho tempo nem pra aproveitar a companhia de pessoas interessantes.
Nada mais eu faço por obrigação!
Tá doido
Envelhecendo na cidade
Até meu chefe me deu presente! Ele levou nós funcionários para almoçar no Rascal, lá na Alameda Santos. Lá me presenteou com dois livros: A Política, de Aristóteles, e O Príncipe, do Maquiavel.
O pessoal do meu gabinete e do gabinete do Dr. Gilberto também me deram uma blusa. Foi um dia produtivo!

Dream
Somehow I managed to reach the peak. There were words carved out of a rock, in a strange language. Even the letters I couldn't identify. But I knew what was written there. The meaning couldn't be spelled, only felt.
Then I woke up. What does it mean, I don't know. Who cares, don't know either. The only thing I know is that I was only sleeping.

Yes!
Maybe I'll write in portuguese also, in another blog. Sometimes people want to discuss about some complex things. This discussion only can be made by writing, for nobody is available to talk about certain points during the week - it demand hours! And the bar talks lead nowhere, usually. Drunk friends are useful only to laugh at them...
I am so sleepy... almost sleeping with my eyes open. But I've got to keep my head up, can't disappoint my boss...

colors
Maybe, when I find my goal, I change again the colors. I could put white, blue and yellow. But this time dark and red are more adequate.
The picture is my portrait. Ok, I took it from Rocky Balboa soundtrack, "burning heart", by Survivor. Funky, but I don't care.
Some upheavals have provoked a shift in my life - my parent's income tumbled, what has many consequences. In the other hand, arguments soared. Interests to pay, for those who doesn't need that.
But it's okay, sometimes we need an earthshake to come over numbness. One brother is chasing a job. The other is going to get married. Father cutting expenses. Something says me that I'll miss so much these years...

Sunset
A bird of prey perchs on a nearby building. The State of São Paulo's flag on the top of Banespa seems to be huge. Serra of Cantareira rises on landscape background. And a gray fog hovers all over the gray city. Sé's vault is very near, I can distinguish the bricks.
That wonderful view is what I have beside my desk on work. I like to look at it everyday, but I'll change it for Brasília, next year. Dry, far and hot, but that's where my goal remains.

Walking Wonder
I'm to lazy to study, maybe excessively self-confident. Need to get into a routine, otherwise I won't be able to read all I have to: dozens of sociology and history books, mostly. I'll have to study more english and spanish or french, as well. I might cost me precious points on test.
But, just as Dee Snider would say, "you're an walking wonder, you're a metal machine!". Not comparing, in the Psalms, the Sacred Bible also says that we are gods; we are all sons of the allmighty.
Endless coughing! Throat hurting! Can't stand this! I had pills, but it didn't work, until now. Maybe I need vitamins. But in Brasília, I won't need medicine anymore, the city melts with the unmerciful sun!

Bolivia
But they forgot one thing: Madeira comes from Bolivia to Brazil, and not the contrary. So, there are no much changes to happen beyond our boundaries.
In fact, our neighbours want to bargain, to push Brazil in order to obtain advantages on energy sector. But Amorim's diplomacy won't allow this behavio, and rejected any possibility of negotiation on this.

Crash
I have a studentship test on saturday. That's for a preparatory school for diplomacy career test, wich happens in next january, probably. It needs determination and a great effort to win this challenge. But someone believe in me, and I won't let Him down.

The capital has about 9 million people, more than many countries. It's an ocean of gray buildings, raised without any logical order. Traffic is overloaded. Pollution turns skies to gray. Violence grows as fast as the slums. The city is, in resume, abandoned by politicians.
If Brazil was a soccer team, São Paulo would be like Real Madrid's Robinho: a great player, who needs care in order to make goals. But, in here, things don't work as they should: the best striker has no attention, obliged to sacrifice itself to help the other (bad) players.

Brazilian sub-continent
Brasil's area correspond to almost half of South America (47,78%). It means that the country is bigger than Argentina, Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, Chile and Paraguay together. It has boundaries with almost all contries of the continent, except Chile and Equador.
The South-America's extention order (km²) is:
1st: Brazil (8.514.877 )
2nd: Argentina (2.780.400)
3rd: Peru (1.285.216)
4th: Colombia (1.138.914)
5th: Bolivia (1.098.581)
6th: Venezuela (916.445)
7th: Chile (756.096)
8th: Paraguay (406.752)
9th: Ecuador (283.561)
10th: Uruguay (176.065)
Changes
My parents are moving off the place we have been living for more than a decade. I'm not going with them: I'm going to rent some place downtown. I want to live alone, to cook my dinner, clean my home, wash my clothes.
My older brother is about to get married. Good luck, Marcel, you are going to need - everybody does.
Four of my younger cousins - Milena, Dênis, Maísa, e Márcia - got married as well. Milena is in Londrina, putting up her Mother-in-law. Dênis is further, in a small city in the middle of Rondonia's amazonic rainforest. Maísa goes on her home town, with two children - turbulent Davi and adorable Livia. And Márcia is just married, now in the southern side of Bahia, a little bit alone. I love the four of them.
Manuyla, my beloved sister-cousin, moved to São Paulo, dates a great guy and will be asked soon, it appears.
Mileninha is now a doctor. I don't know why, but I think she is not ok. She doesn't look happy. She chose a hard career, maybe that's the reason.
Levy, a very inteligent guy. He's now dealing with his emotional troubles. Once he come over this, nobody will be able to stop him.
Brother Fernando, also, is struggling against himself. He's doing good. But parents can confuse sons, sometimes.
Miron, Vaine and Lucianinho demand a particular post.
Concerning me, I just miss all of them.
What is that for?
First: register thoughts, plans or any other thing popping in my unstable mind;
Second: Save some informations about myself to my offspring; and
Third: practice my english, español, português, or whatever.
It's been raining since early morning, what is uncommon, at this season. Yesterday, Brasil beat out Argentina's football team in a great game, played in Maracaibo, Venezuela. It was the Copa America's final match. 3x0. No one could imagine that, for los hermanos had the best squad 'till that time. In the other hand, brazilians hadn't their best players, such as Kaká and Ronaldinho Gaúcho. Worse: Dunga was the coach.
ants marching - Dave Matthews Band
Does his teeth bite to eat and he's rolling
Never changes a thing
The week ends the week begins
She thinks, we look at each other
Wondering what the other is thinking
But we never say a thing
These crimes between us grow deeper
Goes to visit his mommy
She feeds him well his concerns
He forgets them
And remembers being small
Playing under the table and dreaming
Take these chances
Place them in a box until a quieter time
Lights down, you up and die
Driving in on this highway
All these cars and upon the sidewalk
People in every direction
No words exchanged
No time to exchange
And all the little ants are marching
Red and black antennas waving
They all do it the same
They all do it the same way
Candyman tempting the thoughts of a
Sweet tooth tortured by the weight loss
Program cutting the corners
Loose end, loose end, cut, cut
On the fence, could not to offend
Cut, cut, cut, cut
Take these chances
Place them in a box until a quieter time
Lights down, you up and die.
