A man with a plan.
I'm gonna have ten months to have most of these things turned into reality for me. And I think it should be in writting or else,it doesn't really count. Hey, it's not me, it's the system that lays down the rules so... So ok, here it goes.
I've decided ill create the best TV show in the history of television and that my ratings will be much higher than when there's a soccer game where Brasil is playing or when it's the world cup and Italy is - and I will be extremelly praised by all critics. And I've decided that, despite that fact (that I came up with the best TV show ever), I won't act all bugged and uncomfortable when the paparazzi hunt me for spontaneous pictures and, when I'm on a celebrity gossip TV show interview, I won't say "Aw that person is awesome" or "ah he's a good friend of mine, he's a babe!"I'll be honest.
I've decided my book will finally go past the computer keyboards and will be in a bookstore next to you. And in it you'll find more elaborated dialogues than Aldous Huxley's and more spontaneous than J.D. Salinger's and funnier/obvious than Jerry Seinfield's and the first edition will be published in 180 languages and 34 dialects. I've decided that this book will grant me a Nobel Prize and an extra chair in the Brazilian Writers Academy specially for me - by the head of the table, of course. And I'll be the first "immortal" to wear a specially made uniform, gala gawns based on Disney female characters. They will come in 4 different colors and it will be totally ok for me to wear Havaianas with them, in fact, they will be the same color as the dresses.
On Letterman, I'll say: "Hemingway who?". And to Oprah I'll say: "Excuse me, I'm the one doing the talking". I 've decided Stella MacCartney, Valentino, Carolina Herrera and Giorgio Armani will come check with me about the last trend and what color will be the next pink. Gisele Bundchen will come to me for diet tips and I'll talk to Heidi Klum about having so many children.
I've decided my drawings will be discovered by a scout a la Andy Warhol and that museums from all over the world will take Lichtenstein off their walls so they will have room for my art. I've decided to re-invent all theories regarding black holes and prove each one of them making Stephen Hawking jump from his wheelchair, oh by the way, proving Stephen Hawking doesn't even need a wheelchair will give me a Pulitzer.
I've decided to think new thoughts, the kind that would make Plato miss his cavern and Kierkergaard re-think his "irony concept". I've decided I'll win the Fields Medal, despite my similarities to John Nash go as far as seeing/hearing people/things that aren't there.(oh, and Bhaskara is not one of those people)
I've decided I'm gonna be just like Angelina Jolie - physically I mean, even if that means having to go thru small plastic surgeries (ok, maybe not that small).
I've decided that, financially, I'll beat Bill Gates and with that money I'll do more excentric things than just put little secret games on Excel spreadsheets. Ah and that I'll be offered a house in Tahiti Beach in exchange for my appareance in one of "Life of Luxury"episodes. And that the parties I'll throw will have the Pixies live and Tiësto and Paul Van Dyk fighting over the control of the pick-up tables will be more disputed than Hugh Hefner's, dispersando sua criação de coelhas. But even though I already have that house, I 've decided that Zaha Hadid will offer himself to design me another one, and I'll take it.
I've decided that thanks to an awesome acting course I'll be hired for the next hit franchise, above all James Bonds and Indiana Jones and Tomb Raiders and Harry Potters. I've decided I'll be Miss Universe without even going to a beauty pageant, judges will just look at me and know it's the right thing to do.
I 've decided I'll make Ronald McDonald work for Burger King from now on and that everything in both places will have 50kcal tops. Coca-Cola will give me their secret 'cause they think I'm the best one to keep it. I'll also discover (by mistake) what's the secret ingredient in the Big Mac sauce and I'll blackmail them. Either they pay me a really good allowance to keep my mouth shut or they'll have to go vegetarian (yes, I'm talking about replacing the potatos for carrots too - that kind of vegetarian.)
I've decided I'll get the whole original cast form Beverly Hills 90210 to shoot 112 new episodes just for me. Brenda and Dylan will be together in the end, as will Kelly and Brandon and that will be so cool I'll make them marry each other in real life too.
I 've decided that, as a Nobel winner writer, I will, I'll give opinions about the script and make the movie the favorite for the Oscars and that Charlier Kaufman will ask me for tips to make his own. With that, I'll win two Oscars, Best Actress and of course, Best Screenplay writher (and yes, I'm talking about 2009 Oscar) And the publicity for that blockbuster release will get me an Titanium Lion from Cannes.
I 've decided Colin Firth will be my lover. And/or George Clooney. And/or Vincent Cassel. And/or Keanu Reeves. And/or Justin Timberlake. And/or Adam Levine. And/or Brendan Routh. And/or Brad Pitt. And/or Michael Vartan. And/or Tom Welling. And/or Rodrigo Hilbert. And/or Gerard Butler. And/or Leonardo DiCaprio. And/or Patrick Dempsey. And/or David Beckham. And/or Matthew McConaughey. And/or Hugh Jackman. And/or Jake Gyllenhaal. And not just them. And not necessarily in that order. And not necessarily one at a time. And I've decided their love for me will be true, if it's not, I'll buy one that is.
I've decided I'll discover the cure for cancer and AIDS and that I'll find the perfect solution to end hunger in Africa and Brazil and in any other place in the world. That my speeches will seal the peace between jews and palestinans, between greeks and trojans,between Courtney Love and Dave Grohl.I've also decided I'll find Osama Bin Laden, and find out who created the "death dolls" and what's stonehenge for. I'll also find the island where Elvis, James Brown, Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Hurley, Locke, Sayid went to.
I decided I'll start a business in an inovating area, never thought before. Something that will make youtube look like hippie craftwork. And, if you have no idea of what I'm talking about, it means I'm on the right way.
And that's some of the few things I hope to accomplish while I'm there and if not... Well, I'm still young. :)

There Ain't No Reason.

Everything is Music.
Aside from teaching, I do everything else listening to music, always have. It's almost like as if I had a theme song for every situation in my life. Music plays such an important part in my life that sometimes I don't even realize what an important role they play in my life, there are songs I can't listen to anymore 'cause I ended up relating them to some situations in my life in such levels I couldn't even describe. For example:
- My first crush ever: No Doubt - Don't Speak
- My second crush: Roxette - Spending My Time
- Another crush: Bon Jovi - This Ain't a Love Song
- Adolescence Soundtrack: Alanis Morissette (pretty much everything she recorded)
- My first teenage crush: Seal - Kiss from a Rose;
- First internet crush: Aerosmith - I don't want to miss a thing;
- Fights with the first boyfriend: Goo Goo Dolls - Iris;
- First boyfriend's official break up song: Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Californication;
- First best friend "break up": Alanis Morissette - Uninvited;
- 16 year old non-stop song (and I do mean non stop): Celine Dion - My heart Will Go On;
- Another one I listened to non-stop: Roxette - Wish I could Fly;
- Second boyfriend theme song: Rolling Stones - Miss you;
- Second boyfriend break up#1 song: Avril Lavigne - Complicated;
- Trip to England: The Rolling Stones - Voodoo Lounge (the whole album)
- Third boyfriend: Imogen Heap - Goodnight and Go.
And there are several others involved I won't be able to listen to for quite some time, like "The Manic Street Preachers" and Jack Johnson for example.

What I find interesting though is when i find the perfect song for the perfect day, I may not get the best pictures (but i did love that one, I sooo feel like that cat - except i haven't got a cow suit... and that child sooo reminds me of my parents - except they don't have any eastern backround... it's the perfect "visual metaphore"), but you have to admit it's a pretty funny picture, to me it looks like one of those "it would be funny if it weren't tragic" moments.
There's this band that I'm particularly fond of, "Get Set Go" that has go just the perfect lyrics, at least for today. The things about them is that they've got this really cool, nice, sweet melody and musicality with very "raw" lyrcs, wich makes the song sound a mix between irony and sarcasm but, at the same time it almost sounds naive. I don't know.. some sort of "cute angry".
- Ok so, since this is MY blog and I do whatever I want.. I'll post the lyrics (I mean plural) I feel have got the most to do with me today. Ah, one other thing.. the lyrics may seem a little bit too much, almost heavy metal satan's hardcore but its not, trust me! download them and you'll see why i like them so much.
*Die Motherfucker, Die.
Die, mother fucker die/I want to see you cry/And then I'll watch you die/I want to hurt you, torture and desert you/Take a hot poker and stick it where the Sun don't shine..then watch you die/Cause I, I'm having a bad day/So get out of my way/Or you will pay and you'll pay with your Life/I, I'm having a bad day/So what else can I say/I just wanna kill and be killed just the Same/Cause my day sucks ass/Die, mother fucker die/I'll burn out both your eyes/And fill the sockets full of lye/I'll carve out your skull and turn into a Bowl that I'll eat cereal with while I Watch the Flinstones/And I, I'll do it with a smile/Die Motherfucker Die /Cause I, I'm having a bad day/So get out of my way/Or you will pay and you'll pay with your Life/I, I'm having a bad day/So what else can I say/I just want to kill and be killed just the Same/Cause my day sucks ass/I don't want to work/I don't want to pay bills/And I don't want to grow old/And I don't want to be poor/I don't want to drive in traffic/I don't want to deal with dating/I don't want to stand in line/I don't want to pay any taxes/Die, mother fucker die/Why won't you just die?And get out of my life/I want to move to some deserted desert island where I will live up coconuts and everything will be fine all of the time/Cause I, I'm having a bad day/So get out of my way/Of you will pay and you will pay with your life/I, I'm having a bad day/So what else can I say/I just want to kill and be killed just the same/Cause my day sucks ass.
*I Hate Everyone.
Some stupid chick in the checkout line/Was paying for beer with nickels and dimes/And some old man who clipped coupons/Had argued whenever they wouldn't take one/All I wanted to was buy some cigarettes/But I couldn't take it anymore so I left/I hate everyone (4x)/All the people on the street, I hate you all/And the people that I meet, I hate you all/And the people that I know, I hate you all/And the people that I don't, I hate you all/Oh, I hate you all/Some fucking asshole just cut me off/And gave me the finger when I fucking honked/Then he proceeded to put on the brakes/He slammed on the brakes, but I made a mistake/When I climbed out of my van he was waiting/But he was six three and two hundred pounds of Satan/I hate everyone (4x)/All the people on the street, I hate you all/ And the people that I meet, I hate you all/And the people that I know, I hate you all/And the people that I don't, I hate you all/Oh, I hate you all/I bet you think I'm kidding/But I promise you its true/I hate most everybody/But most of all I hate/Oh, I hate you/All the people on the street, I hate you all/And the people that I meet, I hate you all/And the people that I know, I hate you all/And the people that I don't, I hate you all/And the people in the east, I hate you all/And the people I hate least, I hate you all/And the people in the west, I hate you all/And the people I like best, I hate you all/Oh, I hate you all.
*Sleep.
I'm so tired that I could sleep for a year/The sound of snoring is the only thing you would hear/I'm so tired that I could sleep my life away/I'm so tired I'm way too tired to play/I need my sleep/I need it right now/I need my sleep/Or I'm going down/I need my sleep/I need it today/I need my sleep/Without delay/I'm so tired that I could sleep til I'm old/And if I awoke, it would only be to use the toilet bowl/I'm so tired that I could sleep my life away/I'm so tired I'm way too tired to say/I need my sleep/I need it right now/I need my sleep/Or I'm going down/I need my sleep/I need it today I need my sleep/Without delay/I can't sleep for all the clamor and the clang of all the people as I'm singing all these same old love songs/I can't sleep for all the clamor and the clang of all the people as I'm singing all these same old love songs/I'm going crazy/I'm going crazy/I'm going crazy/I'm going crazy/I'm going crazy/I'm going crazy/I'm so tired but I can't fall asleep/I'm so tired but I can't fall asleep/I pray the lord my soul, my soul to keep/I'm so tired but I can't fall asleep.
Yeah ok, or maybe it's me who's just bitter.

The Importance of Being Clumsy
I always feel the need to explain myself, to be thorough about my thoughts and what I'm trying to say all the time - yes, it can be very tiresome.
Oh, I don't think there's an end for this one today.

More Than A Virtue.

Is This Really It??
Cuz I love the way you say good morning.And you take me the way I am.
If you are chilly, here take my sweater.Your head is aching, I'll make it better.
Cuz I love the way you call me baby.And you take me the way I am.
I'd buy you Rogaine if you start losing all your hair.Sew on patches to all you tear.
Cuz I love you more than I could ever promise.
I was listening to that song... Thinking about relationship and this came to mind:
A couple years ago I had this friend who decided to do a research on famous men who had mistresses. She wanted to find out why would they keep and extra romance if they were already commited. Her reason to do so was she had been the mistress for over three years and she just couldnt get why.
So every week she'd post on her blog a short bio about the famous guy followed by a brief bio of the mistress as well. She didn't get to post most of the things she put together but one day, we were talking about it and she pointed out some interesting stuff... Basically most mistresses used to be more intelligent, goal driven, fun, smart, corageous. They were much less submissive and more independent and they usually were ahead of their time. And not just mistresses, most "weird couples" like Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir or Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, where the women had those qualities ended up suffering a lot, even though they were legally married or not their relationships were distant and more like friendships than anything else.
My friend then decided to just jump to the inevitable conclusion: men probably look for all those qualities when looking for the right girl however once they have all that, they can't take it. They go back to the opposite, they prefer to stay with the easy thing with the mild, less fun, less talkative, average smart... It's not risky and not challenging and not threatening. At first it sounds like the right choice, the reliable choice. In the long run he eventually realizes it's just frustrating to go back home and have the same old"what was your day like" talk over dinner. Not that I wouldnt enjoy that, I would.. but depending on the person it can just get ordinary.
So, with time I started to agree with her. First, men started to seem average, I can't not even begin to count how many guys I met who, in a sad attempt of being funny, made all this not so clever jokes and comments on my job or the same old "Oh i shoud be careful you might be analizing me" jokes after I said I went to psych school. And would think all my comments on life and all my advices were super amazing and intelligent... I need someone who challenges me, someone who is amazed by my skills but doesnt look at me as if I'm some sort of rare exotic almost unreachable person who you just have to find a way to win over for a night or something just so you have something to brag about the next day.
I wonder If there's any hope for me.

Kinda Like On TV.
