Sometime ago I was in one of the Asian supermarkets in Amsterdam’s Chinatown and found this cup, that I use for “tea” at work. It says: Ten ways to good health Less Alcohol, More Tea Less Meat, More Vegetables Less Salt, More Vinegar Less Sugar, More Fruit Less Eating, More Chewing Less Words, More […]
I loved to curse
Fuck. Latelly I don’t manage to write a single line without starting to correct it. I remember a long time ago, when I was still a young kid, in the Sunday school (yes, yes, I spent sometime with catholic “teachers”, when they would try to “indoctrinate” me and I would try to have some fun), […]
Gary Moore – Still got the blues and The Hurt Inside
I’m not sure anymore who introduced me to Gary Moore. I would guess that it was someone in the first company I worked for – I’m not sure about the place, but I’m sure about the time – I was in college at the time, for my first time. From that time, there is a […]
on Dailymail – Steve Jobs dead: Brilliant, yes, but he wasn’t an Einstein

After almost one year living in Amsterdam, we finally got our own bikes. They are used, but they are the bikes I wanted for a very nice price. And we took them to the Rembrandtpark for our first ride together. I’m sure they we take us everywhere in Amsterdam! For a lot of joyful rides!
Uno, Nessuno e Centomila
Uno, Nessuno e Centomila it’s the original, italian title of the last novel by the italian author Luigi Pirandello (see the Wikipedia english page on the title). I’m not really sure if I got in contact with title, in Portuguese (Um, ninguém e cem mil), in Ansião (the vilage I studied and grow in), or […]
the Bike… :-(
I finally found the bike I want: It’s the Batavus Personal Bike Special Delivery. Best price so far? Out of Range!
Self-censorship
Did you ever felt that you’re censoring yourself too much? Even felt that you’re getting enable to express your better and more radical ideas just because you start censoring yourself too soon, as if you’re trying to get better ways to state your ideas, even before expressing them? As a blogger, I used to write […]
Just a question
If you could live your life completely free of adverse external influences… how would it be? How close to that do you live? What would be different and what would be alike?
