I learnt lots of slangs these days here in US. Different from last year, I`m living with 2 romies: one brazilian guy, like myself, and an american guy. He is called Donovan, but we call him D. Baby or Baby Don.

Baby Don brings his friends home and we party a lot. This also helps me with my english and, yeah, hell yeah, helps a lot with slangs…

I know more badwords now in English than I know in Portuguese, my mother language.

They don`t like some of these badwords, since they tell me they “hurt” really badly. But most of them, for me, are fun! D****e bag is one that I like. C***t is nice too, but they told me this is the worst one for girls! I don`t wanna use them, but I think they sound nice. =D

How crazy is this?

Here in Jackson (WY) - what a great town! – we are all anxiously waiting for snow! Jackson’s economy during winter season is, overall, based on how much snow we get! So, let`s make the ” snow dance ” and hope and wait and pray and… ow god! Let it snow!

Landscape - Jackson, WY

This Monday I’m going to NY from Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). On the same day I’m flying to Salt Lake City (UT), where I’m planning to stay just over the night. On Wednesday I’m going to Jackson, WY! I love that place! I’m deeply anxious arriving there!!!

Here there is a movie from my travel to Jackson last year… This is in National Elk Refuge ! It’s absolutely beautiful! Gorgeous!

I recorded this on my Canon HV-20 (love this camcorder!) in full HD (High Definition). I just uploaded to Youtube a 720p HD version, and you can see it here:

I’m pretty busy these days, becaus we are finishing this semester at University. This is almost one of the last on my way to be a graduated guy! =D

Maybe tomorrow, maybe on Sunday, I’m going to finish the last big homework! We need to work out on a journalistic tv program every week. This week I present it and I need to edit it (I’m gladly using Final Cut!).

I hope to finish this tomorrow! I have a great party on Saturday, so I would love to be there without something to finish on Saunday!

José Saramago - Portuguese novelist

Ah! I’m reading – and loving it! – José Saramago’s “Jangada de Pedra” (original in Portuguese; “The Stone Raft” in english). The book is great! Saramago simply creates a whole new way of writing and narrating! He is GREAT! It’s quite sad that US reads so nothing from Saramago. Nowadays you can see BLINDNESS on the big screen… This is based on Saramago’s novel: Blindness (in Portuguese, original title: Ensaio sobre a cegueira).

This book is also great – and I loved the movie based on it too. Go to the book store and open your mind to this Nobel-laureate novelist! I’m going to US on December 1st, so I do need to finish “The Stone Raft” before that! I think I have just 70 pages to finish it…

See ya! I’m going to read it before sleeping…

During that april afternoon
the wind blowing on their faces
the sky bright with the moon
Brighter when the sun replaces.

Walking lonely around
Looking leaves on the ground
I thought, at the end of day
- does any of them pretend to stay?

The way is opened...

I know McCain is not a bad man… however, his speech after the election, his remarks were really polite and directed for a nation union under the next president. I think yestarday night McCain showed up like a real maverick.

At the same time, I’m really happy for Obama’s victory and hopeful. Obama will have a big challenge: make all this hope and all these dreams come true. We all expect you can do it, Barack!

And you have my modest support.

Thanks!

I’m imaging right now how it will be difficult for the looser to speak today in these two big “parties” (or one party and one nightmare?) Democrats and Republicans are arranging…

Phoenix for McCain and Grant Park in Chicago for Obama. Do you think they have two prepared speeches for these two different situations: winning or loosing?

Phoenix...

My guess:

- Obama will be the winner (thanks God!) and Grant Park will host a Grant Speech!

- McCain will loose (thanks, thanks again!) and Phoenix will be

Whyyyyy? Because, like Wikipedia remembers us: the perfect place for this speech.

It has a 600-800 year life-cycle, and near the end the phoenix builds itself a nest of cinnamon twigs that it then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young phoenix or phoenix egg arises, reborn anew to live again.

So… Loosing, McCain is like a ending cycle, and with this end born a new cycle… In another interpretation,  McCain loosing is like a Phoenix dieing to reborn later. Either way, this place will work perfectly for him. (By the way, I expect Palin can’t reborn!!!!!)

This is my Prediction, made yesterday!
