Our life is comprised of cycles. Many, many cycles. Very often, when we think we're near the point of stagnation and we feel invincible, it's just when we find out we're nothing in this world. And now we must just start everything over. Like a sawtooth wave, like a rollercoaster, like a druid from Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. You retain your memories and abilities, but you start from level 1

Today, while coming back home after an intense duel with a rebel EJB (Enterprise Java Bean), for no apparent reason, I remembered a song from an old ad...maybe from 1992 or 1993. It was a sort of an electropop thingy, with lots of synthesizers and kinda danceable. That music got stuck in my mind until I got home.Then, after having dinner and starting my daily routine of transferring my files from

19 days. So much has passed in the meantime. New computer, new workplace, new routine, new additions to my modest videogame collection, new abilities, new victories and new defeats.And it all happened so quickly that I could barely regroup them in small clusters and write appropriate posts, so I think I'll have to write them a later moment, if possible.

Já fazem quase vinte dias que eu não posto nada. Não é a primeira vez que isso acontece, mas talvez seja a primeira vez que eu não procurei uma desculpa pra me justificar perante a mim mesmo. As vezes é falta de inspiração, as vezes é cansaço, as vezes é falta de fontes ou então falta de tempo.Mas agora, eu simplesmente não sinto necessidade de me justificar, ainda que tenha motivos para tal...

Mas enfim, depois de dar uma olhada em alguns dos possíveis candidatos a Guigomóvel, acabei me decidindo pelo Tempra.

É engraçado, muito engraçado mesmo.Desde pequeno eu sempre tive uma obsessão em por as coisas em ordem. Quando eu tinha meus cinco, seis anos, eu percebia que de vez em quando, sumia alguma das minhas revistinhas em quadrinhos, mas eu não conseguia perceber exatamente qual. Daí veio um sinal: comecei a escrever números na capa das revistas. Como tudo tem que ter um critério, numerei-as em ordem

I wonder why it always rains during holidays...but for me, who enjoys staying at home and relaxing most of the time, it is not that bad. It gets less hot, more comfortable and it makes the green things greener and it gives a whole different paint for the city.I only hate when it rains when I'm going to work...but it always stops as soon as I get there.

During my whole life I always wore jeans and t-shirts. Even during the harshest winters or the melting summer days, I was there, donning my (old) funky t-shirts and my (fully-patched) jeans. And it seemed I would endure until the end of my days wearing them.Probably, it was something related to my former convictions, since in my head, sporting expensive clothes was a means of ostentating luxury

Quebrar tradições é a minha especialidade. Ano passado, eu esqueci que era sexta-feira santa e comi meia perna de lingüiça da colônia. Achei que Deus ia lançar um raio sobre a minha cabeça e eu ia virar torresmo. Esse ano, eu acabei estreando o George Foreman Grill em plena sexta-feira santa (e olha que aquilo funciona mesmo).Herege de carteirinha, cá vaí uma piadinha meio boba, mas que sempre

During my whole life, my mother always criticized me for keeping too much stuff "nobody uses" at home. My videogame magazines from the early-90's, comics from 1986~1994, craploads of old RPG books, old videogame cartridges, VHS tapes containing cartoons, music videos, Formula One races and series from the late 80's (which were only thrown away because they were pretty much destroyed by fungi) and

It's interesting how some people here compare elections to things like football or other sports, where they tend to support the side most likely to win and considers themselves as "winners" too. For me, it sounds a bit retarded (even in the football case), because voting isn't simply punching a lot of numbers into the voting machine. We must make ourselves heard and pressure the guys we voted for

It wasn't this time that Brazil beat Norway. The technically-challenged Norway team played against Brazil in four occasions, and surprisingly, never lost a single match.

Sometimes I ponder myself why some events seem to be overrated. I mean, about 3,000 people died in the World Trade Center attacks, and media says it is the worst disaster ever. Meanwhile, there was a civil war in Sudan, the bloodiest war in recent history, with death tolls approaching 2.2 million people, in a 20 year period, and almost nobody knows it. The Katrina hurricane killed less than 2,000

Primeira aula de Introdução à Engenharia Nuclear. Guigo está lá, sonolento, sentado na última fila da sala de aula, até que um sujeito de óculos fundo de garrafa, cara de judeu ortodoxo e sotaque estranho pergunta:- Por quê te matriculastes nesta disciplina?Introdução à Engenharia Nuclear (comumente conhecida como "Nuclear I") é uma disciplina opcional para todos os cursos de Engenharia, e na

Plant a Tree - Done that several times. When I was 6, I planted an orange tree in my backyard. Less than a month after that, I moved. A couple of years later, we planted some trees at our school. In 2000, the school was bulldozed and so were the trees. And there were several other occasions, but I never witnessed "my" trees growing up.Write a Book - Depends on the definition of "book".

I have a keyboard. A Yamaha PSR-140. It's old, it was cheap and it has none of the features any professional musician would need, except for two Midi ports in its backside. But hey! It plays the Star Wars theme whenever you press a cutesy yellow button!The venerable Yamaha PSR-140Anyway, I have this thing since 2000 and still haven't learn to play it.But I can play this:Gary Numan - Down In The

Quando eu tinha 3 anos, eu queria ser motorista de ônibus. Aos 5, eu queria ser o Rambo. Em 1989, eu queria ser Presidente da República. Maiorzinho, eu já queria ser engenheiro (só não sabia ainda qual especialidade). Nenhuma dessas quatro profissões requer curso superior tampouco alguma prova eliminatória. (talvez pra ser Rambo precise de algum teste de atuação, mas se o Stallone conseguiu, eu

That's one of scariest questions one could ask, and the one that's always asked, it seems like a protocol:Person A: "Hello!" (Used to initiate conversation)Person B: "Hello!" (An acknowledgement, used to show that you're a polite person, even though you don't want to engage in actual conversation with A)Person A: "How are you?" (An almost mandatory question, it can only be skipped if you already

Syd Barrett passed away last Friday. To me, it was quite a shock: I thought he was dead long before I was born. Maybe because he hasn't made any public appearances in the last 30 years or because he left Pink Floyd back in 1968 due to his drug problems and hard to deal persona.But now I come to think of how some people doesn't need much time to engrave their names on history. Syd was a member of

I usually complain to myself that I lose too much time thinking about useless things, or think too much about something important to the point I can't decide how to act. Now I'm feeling something weird...I just can't think about anything, no matter how hard I try.Can't evaluate my problems, nor think of a solution to them. Can't think about my future, nor think about my past. Can't make plans for

Finally, Brazil got kicked off the World Cup. Honestly, I was wishing for them to fail for several reasons: It wouldn't be funny. They got enough titles. It'd be just like Formula One was a couple of years ago, when no one could threat Michael Schumacher. The team was playing quite bad. But we can't appoint a single cause for that. The players wanted just to break their personal records, the

Get married and stay like that until death tear us apart. Have two or three kids, and at least one boy. Have a decent job, it doesn't need to make me rich, but it can't drive me (more) insane either. Buy a red Honda Civic VTi '93 (without that hideous black hood, of course). Visit Hong Kong, Paris and Tokyo at least once. Learn how to read in Japanese. Travel around Latin America

Hello mates,When I started watching MTV Brazil, back in 1995, most of its programming was devoted to actual music. And when I say "music", I mean "bands/singers who weren't created by a pack of media tycoons in a cozy office in a tall building in some huge and affluent neigbourhood of a metropolis".Okay, let's get back to the topic.For some reason, the quality of the music there started

Good evening,This is not my first attempt to set up a blog, I have had several throughout my career as a professional idler. But for some strange reason beyond me, I always ended up deleting them and creating new ones some months later.Maybe I was dissatisfied with what I posted. Maybe I lost interest. Maybe I was afraid of getting (too) criticized. Maybe I didn't have anything interesting to
