Hey there!

Let's leave the "i was away for a year and i promise to be there always from now on" part and go to the business. :)

I missed this place, really. My journal is like a secret garden: i know that the only ones interested in come to visit are the ones i care most. This place is where i can talk about everything that dwells in my not-so-brilliant mind, and most of my friends don't have patience to read my texts. After all, english is so "unusual" and "difficult"... :P

Today i was shopping in Santa Ifigênia Street, a famous street in São Paulo specialized in electronics (hardware, mobile, MP3 players, etc) when i found someone... errr... how can i say this... a little "out of place".

Santa Ifigênia is a popular shopping street, so there you find common people in commom clothes, and... WHAT A GOTHIC GIRL WAS DOING THERE? XD Of course everyone was curious looking to that girl dressed all in black and his boyfriend (guess the color of his clothes? :D). I know there are some gothic people that really takes the style in a more serious way, but in Brazil they're a minority. In other words, they're a bunch of freaks for the rest of the country. And the girl was pretty, a fact that can turn the situation really worse than it already is.

I faced a similar situation two years ago. I got the bus to work as usual, and for my surprise i met a female gothic receiver! The official color of the uniform of the São Paulo (my city) bus receivers is blue, and she was using it... but below the uniform i saw a black jacket with the word "Nightwish" in each sleeve. The black nails and the acessories (piercings, cross-shaped earrings, etc) finished the totally unusual gothic-style apparel.

Ah, i bought a 1 GB MP3 player today. Until now i was using my mobile to listen to music, but this was consuming all the battery too fast. With the MP3 player maybe i can let my poor cellphone do the essential: make and receive calls. :D

The today's song is a homage for all the gothic incidents in my life: Dog Faced Gods, by Testament. Hail Testament and the Egypt mythology! \o/ Ah, Testament is not gothic, but it's dark enough to serve as soundtrack to this post. Enjoy!


Of dog faced gods
Through the Nile sands whisper
Of ancient times, mayfly names
Flickered and gone
The blood and honey
Dripping from their jaws
Through the Nile sands whisper
Ancient times, fade into the dawn

Of dog faced gods
Manifest in the night
The sacred rights
Handed down through tiems of old
Dark words of power
Blood upon their tombs
Through incantations
Locusts fly, signaling doom

Confirm who I am
Confort all I can
Conceive sorcery
Corrodes disbelief

Of dog faced gods
Dead civilzation
Through priests of power
Invoking life of the ancient one

The blood and honey
Dripping from their jaws
Through the Nile sands whisper
Travel through time to the land unkown

Confirm who I am
Confort all I can
Conceive sorcery
Corrodes disbelief

Yo!

Look who's back into the game! It's me!

Sorry for the long absebce, i was playing too much The Sims 2 and Pro Evolution Soccer 6. Besides that, i've a work and a college to go. ;)

In my work i'm busy with a book that Bio Ritmo must deliver to the "Exame" magazine. Of course that the text part is totally in my hands because i'm the only journalist in the company. For the first time, that sucked. :( Ah, i've another important work to do: organize the new Bio Ritmo photo shoot with our models. To call them one by one is so boring... and we'll take two entire days to finish it. I know it's great to see such beauties wearing gym clothes all the day, but i've lots of not-so-cool things to do. :P

About college, unfortunately i'm above the average grades in two subjects: Basic Journalism III (again this damned subject! XD) and Cultural Journalism. I'm skipping some classes because of work, so i must be more aware of my performance, or somebody might gonna be screwed. :P Now i've made a new colleague in my class, Luciana. Last Thursday she accompanied me to see a theater play called "Amor" (Love). It was a great show, more musical than i was expecting. And after the exhibition i drank two champagne goblets, yay! XD

It was great to write a journal entry again, i'm looking forward to your comments. ;) The chosen song this time is Day Tripper, by Whitesnake. Enjoy!

Catch ya all later! ;)


Got a good reason

It took me so long to find out, and I found out

Day tripper, day tripper, day tripper

She's a big teaser,
She took me half the way there

It took me so long to find out, baby, and I found out

Day tripper...

Yo my fellows!

I'm back, yay! Glad to see you all again! :)

Today i woke up early to write my texts to "No Vestiário", the radio show that i'm part of. This time i talked about Santos (a brazilian team where Pelé played) and all the news about European football.

Talking about Europe, after seven consecutive wins, Manchester United was defeated in Premier League by Portsmouth (2-1). Now Chelsea is only three points behind the Red Devils, so they still have a chance to win their third consecutive title.

My participation during the show was fair and square, not better than the usual. I think i must improve, but i don't know how i can do that.

After the radio, i went to the gym to do some workout, and my performance was very good. I'm starting to think that if i go to the gym one day after another, my muscles will be tired easier, and with that my overall performance decreases. I should give a one day gap to the muscles to get better results.

So, that was my day. Before i put an end to this post, i want to ask all of you about a feeling that i had yesterday. The case is: i've a co-worker, and i don't have a crush for her. She's not gorgeous, just a common girl, but i think she's funny. I've another co-worker that is now trying to get her attention (and her love). I'm certain that i don't love her, but this situation bothers me. Why? I'm still trying to understand my heart... :P

The song today is Kirei Na Kanjou, ending theme of the anime TV series Noir, performed by AKINO ARAI. I hope you all enjoy these lyrics. Bye bye!


sotto furerarete
kono hoho no tsumetasa ni yatto kidzuita
asa me ga samete
tori no koe ni hajimete kidzuku you ni totsuzen

Like suddenly noticing the sound of birds for the first time
Upon awakening in the morning
I finally noticed how cold this cheek was
Upon being gently touched

mada shiranai nanimo
kokoro ga motomete'ru mono
shiranai no

I don't know anything yet
What the heart is seeking
I don't know

sora bakari mite-ita
itsu kara kou shite
ano kumo no mashita e omoi wo tobashite

I was looking at nothing but the sky
Since sometime, like this
Sending my thoughts flying to right below those clouds

yume no tsudzuki wo ikiru mitai
tayorinai watashi demo aishite

Like living the continuation of a dream
I am unreliable, but love me nonetheless

mune no izumi ni aru namida wa donna iro na no
kanashimi wa-----

What colour are the tears in the fountain of the heart
What colour is sorrow...

asa no hikari ga ima kodoku wo tsutsunda
anata ga me wo akete hohoemu shunkan

The morning light now enveloped the solitude
The moment you opened your eyes and smiled

sora bakari mite-ita
mado kara tooku e
ano kumo no mashita e tsurete itte

I was looking at nothing but the sky
From the window, at the far distance
Take me to right below those clouds

ryoute ni wa afuredasu
kirei na kanjou
anata ni sasagetai

In both hands the overflowing
Pure emotions
I want to dedicate them to you

sotto furete-ite
sotto kono hoho ni
sotto sotto

Gently be touching
Gently this cheek
Gently gently

Hi!

Today is time for a fast and furious journal. Take a look at my opinions:

Alcohol is a lethal weapon.

Great responsibilities brings great fatigue.

It doesn't matter how many friends you've on orkut or/and last.fm. Most of them can't surpass the virtual wall.

Caring scraps and mails helps you feel a little better. But a hug or a hand shake's still more effective.

Every Anime collector needs a big stock of CD-Rs.

Almost nothing in this world is free, but money isn't the only way to pay for what you want.

Brazilian rap is a good way for me to remember of where i came from.

Me:

Song: 7th Heaven Theme Song by 7th Heaven. Bye.


7th Heaven
When I see their happy faces,
smilin' back at me...
7th heaven
I know there's no greater feelin' than the love of family
Where can you go
When The world don't treat you right?
The answer is home!!!!!!!!!
That's the one place that you'll find,
7th heaven.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh!
7th Heaven
7th heaven

Hi fellows!

Lots of study and work, but i'm still fine. A little sleepy, but fine. :)

Today i won't write a long post because i just want to talk about loneliness. Before i begin, this week i faced some problems with my co-workers again, but i'll leave this subject to another time.

In the past three or four weeks i'm feeling so lonely! Why? I can't say. During the week i've to work, and after that go to the gym (when i have time) and college. After all this activities, i only have time to take a shower and sleep. I'm always surrounded by people, but my feeling of solitude is growing bigger and bigger.

Maybe i need a girlfriend. The question is: How i can get a girlfriend if i don't have time even for myself? It's true that i miss someone to kiss and hug from time to time, but that's not the real problem, i think.

Maybe i just want a friend. I know i've friends, but none of them like (or have time to) go with me to the theather to watch a play or go to the cinema to watch a few cult movies.

Maybe i know the answer. Now i'm in a different stage, and my activities are not among the most popular ones. Or my friends are too busy to spend time with me. Or... well, i think i'm still trying to build the question, so it's an useless effort trying to answer something.

So that's it. I must feel better next time. :) The song today is Dream On, originally performed by Aerosmith. But i'm listening to a cover made by Dio and Yngwie Malmsteen that's much better. XD See ya!


Everytime that I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face gettin' clearer
The past is gone
It went by like dust to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay

I know what nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know how to win

Half my life'ss in books' written pages
Live and learn from fools and from sages
You know it's true
All the things come back to you

x2
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

Dream On, Dream On, Dream On,
Dream until your dream come true
Dream On, Dream On, Dream On,
Dream until your dream come true
Dream On, Dream On, Dream On,
Dream On, Dream On, Dream On,
Dream On, Dream On, Ooooh

x2
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tears
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

Yo my fellows!

Sorry for my absence (again), but now i'm back to the college, so the things will be harder. :)

Today i went to the Centro club of Bio Ritmo to do the second stage of training in METANÓIA. This time the activities were conducted by Adriana Piller and Malú, two managers that i never met until today. They're straight and focused, so the training ended one hour earlier.

Maybe because i already known part of what Adriana and Malú teached today, the training was not so cool for me. Anyway, it was good to meet the people. :D

Ah, yesterday i finished reading the first book of my monography, and now i have to do a review about it. Oh lord, give me strength... XD After this post i'll try play PristonTale, and tomorrow, maybe, i'll start this review... XD

Next monday i've the "Telejournalism I" subject. I'll begin working with cameras, video and TV stuff! Thinking about it, it's frightening, and i don't like TV, but it'll be a good experience. The most important part is to learn about different things. I still think Journalism is great. XD

And, tomorrow i'll watch a great football game: Corinthians x Palmeiras. These two (both from São Paulo) are part of the group of the greater brazilian teams, but they're facing some trouble with bad results and low-level players in their squads. But like the folks say in Brazil, "a classic is a classic". I hope that Palmeiras and Corinthians can do a good game with fair play. And i think that Palmeiras will win: 3-2.

To shake the things on this journal, the song today is an old one: Thundercats Theme! Can you remember this cartoon? Enjoy! :)


Lion: “Thunder, thunder, thundercats, Ho!”
Thundercats are on the move,
Thundercats are loose,
Feel the magic, hear the Roar,
Thundercats are loose,

Thunder, thunder, thunder, Thundercats!
Thunder, thunder, thunder, Thundercats!
Thunder, thunder, thunder, Thundercats!
Thunder, thunder, thunder, Thundercats! Thundercats!

Yo! Yo! Yo!

"Here i am, here we are..." How're u doing, my comrades? Everything's fine here.

Today i went to Bio Ritmo's Centro club to have the first training about METANÓIA, the enterprise's philosophy of development. I was thinking that it'll all be a pain in the ass, but in the end it was really pleasant to be there. I met the new employees from all Bio Ritmo clubs and now i can understand better how a progressist enterprise works.

Do you all remember when i talked about my life plan? No? I thought so. :) Anyway, i'm loving to be a Bio Ritmo employee, but i was thinking in stay there for just 6 months, 'cause i think that i need a little more experience in another company to be a journalist with more professional value. On the other hand, i know that i can reach a high position in Bio Ritmo if i want, and if i leave maybe i'll not have the opportunity to return. Anyway, let's think about that again in the right time.

Ah, last Thursday i watched "Rocky Balboa" with my friend Maurício. The movie wasn't a masterpiece, but for a Rocky fan like me it was marvelous! I confess that in the end i was cheering for Rocky to defeat Mason Dixon (this guy looks like a rap star with boxing gloves :))... go watch it now! XD

The song today is The Phantom Agony by Epica. Are you able to travel where your heart goes? :) Bye bye!


I can't see you, I can't hear you
Do you still exist?

I cn't feel you, I can't touch you,
Do you exist?

The Phantom Agony

I can't taste you, I can't think of you,
Do we exist at all?

The future doesn't pass
And the past won't overtake the present
All that remains is an obsolete illusion

[Chorus]
We are afraid of all the things that could not be
A phantom agony

Do we dream at night
Or do we share the same old fantasy?
I am a silhouette of the person wandering in my dreams

[Chorus]

Tears of unprecedented beauty
Reveal the truth of existence
We're all sadists

The age-old development of conciousness
Drives us away from the essence of life
We meditate too much,
so that our instincts will fade away
They fade away

What's the point of life
And what's the meaning if we all die in the end?
Does it make sense to learn or do we forget everything?

[Chorus]

Tears of unprecedented beauty
Reveal the truth of existence
We're all pessimists

The age-old development of conciousness
Drives us away from the essence of life
We meditate too much,
so that our instincts will fade away
They fade away

Teach me how to see and free the disbelief in me
What we get is what we see, the Phantom Agony

The lucidity of my mind has been revealed in new dreams
I am able to travel where my heart goes
In search of self-realisation

This is the way to escape from our agitation
And develop ourselves
Use your illusion and enter my dream...
