In 2008...



I wish you don't stop so early in life, for every age brings pleasure and fear. And with those who make huge mistakes, a lot of them, I wish you can be tolerant. And when you're unhappy, I wish it lasts just one day and not one whole year. And I wish you find out that laughing is great, but laughing at everything is despair.

I wish you have someone to love, and when you're fairly tired there is still love left to start all over again.

I wish you have a lot of friends but that you can trust at least one of them. And that you even have enemies, so you won't stop disbelieving. And when you're unhappy, I wish it lasts just one day and not one whole year. And I wish you find out that laughing is great, but laughing at everything is despair.

I wish you have someone to love, and when you're fairly tired there is still love left to start all over again.

I wish you make good money, for one's gotta make a living as well. And that you're able to tell it at least oncewho owns who.

I wish you have someone to love, and when you're fairly tired there is still love left to start all over again.

A Prayer for Harold

Ok, Dekkafans, Harold and I need your help (and your guardian angels' too).

Say a prayer for Our Lady of the Laptops! Gyro Gearloose has just informed Harold breathes. Yes, Dekkafans, Harold has booted up :D !!!!!!!

We will now see if Harold still recognizes family members, starting with the HD.

Life plan

- Quit smoking (I’ve heard Chantix does wonders, or almost gets there);
- Work out;
- Have breakfast (preferably made by him and brought to me in bed) every day;
- Get up early (that is, between 8 and 8:30) every day – except for Sundays – and walk Benji;
- Be more productive, both work- and life-wise;
- Read more;
- Write more;
- Sunbathe more frequently (after all this is a tropical country, people!);
- Care a bit more for my looks (this category includes regular mani-pedi and waxing rituals, in addition to wearing some makeup – eyeliner and lipstick –, and using moisturizers every day, as well as resuming L'Oréal’s facial treatment);
- Save some money, so as to spend it all later, obviously;
- Learn more new things.

Amen.

Benji's cologne

Benji has a weird habit.

Every time I let the little creature out to the jungle, he will find something stinky on the ground. Not poop, not pee. But some little animal corpse, some fetid bug, anything really really stinky. You're thinking that's all, hun? Asking yourself "so what?"

So he will RUB HIMSELF on the stinky thingy. He will ROLL OVER the stinky thingy until he's as fetid as his target. As if that was not enough, HE WILL BE HAPPY!

What the hell, people?

And so Harold dies



Unless Super-Martin, our local Gyro Gearloose, manages to fix it tomorrow, Harold is most probably dead.
Sad. Sad, people. S-A-D.

Oh, well, but let's look at the bright side of things: now i'll HAVE to buy me a new toy... A MUCH BETTER toy too :D

And so i'm back online. Sit tight!

Harold in a Coma

Mental Note: Do NOT drink Coke closer than 1,000 feet from Harold.

(8:20PM - GMT -3:00) UPDATE: Surgery still ongoing. We cannot monitor vitals right now, for safety reasons, but apparently heart, lungs and brain are OK. All parts disassembled, practically all of them free from the disease after deep asepsis work. We will be starting the resuscitation process in a few minutes.

Warming up the tamborins

And so it happened that time passed. During all this time, almost every single day i would tell myself I should go back to writing. That I needed to. But the spark lacked, I even believed nothing was going on worth of a post. But hey, I was looking for it the wrong way, in the wrong place. Seems I have found the thread again.

During all this time:

- I moved to another house, another town. Went far away. I enjoyed every moment, I learned what it is to have a house to take care of, and alone (with mother-Dirce giving me a hand, of course!).
- I felt huge saudades. Of so many things! Of mom, brother, grandma, grandma’s cooking, of grandma’s house’s scent. But then I found out my house has my scent and only mine, and now if I spend more than one day away from my house, I miss it too. I also missed the nestle, but I learned how to make my own, on my own. I missed all my friends, all of them so far away.
- I gained Benji-mommy’s-cute-thingy:





















- I bought my car, Clovis.
- Replaced my desktop for a laptop, Harold (who’s recently made a new best friend, XPTO, a wireless access point).
- I’ve worked a lot.
- I lived a breathtaking, thought-hindering e-love, but it is over, like a can of doce de leite, which you will eat it all, knowing you’ll get fat, but you won’t regret a single moment.
- I’ve engaged in a new love, still far away, but it seems to be going somewhere.
- I came back to Itap City, São Paulo. Once again close to mom, but in my little house, a dollhouse as my uncle says.
- I started a new job, left it three months later.
- I started believing in Oficina do Texto once again.
- Met old friends, made new ones.
- Learned many, infinite new things. Especially about me. I’m great!

And there might be a bunch of things I’m forgetting right now.

It’s a mental avalanche now that I’m writing again. Be patient, forgive the nonsense here and there, enjoy this regress with me! There is a lot more to come ;-)
