Os Desafinados

I'm not a fan of bossa-nova. Not at all. But, despite that, I went to the movies to see Os Desafinados.
To be honest, it's interesting in the beginning, but gets boring after a while.

Swedish Invasion in São Paulo

It was great yesterday!!!

Club 8

a link to check

For the ones who like photography, I added a link to the blog of my photography teacher, Felipe Russo. There are very nice images he did and lots of information about photographers and cool works.
Yesterday we saw some nice images during the class and now I really want to photograph more. I just wish I had more time.
And the photo above was taken for a newspaper I used to do at college in 2003.

Edit: It's a pity when someone can't separate his professional life from his personal one.

T.H.E.H.I.V.E.S.

After seeing The Hives in Germany (I went to the festival to see Die Ärzte) I really got into the band. So, I was quite happy when I found out they were playing São Paulo a couple of weeks after I came back. I saw them again last Saturday and it was a great, great show. I hope I'll be lucky enough to see them again any time soon. I just wish I could had taken some photos, but I have no small camera and my SLR wasn't allowed inside without a press pass.

München

I want to write a bit more about my vacation, but I haven't had much time to sit down and focus.
The photo above is from Marienplatz, in Munich. And it also shows the towers from the Frauenkirche.
It was my first time in Munich and I was surprised to find out it's smaller than I imagined. I always hear so much about it and it's definitely one of the most important cities in Germany. So, I expected more than only 900 thousand inhabitants. In one afternoon, I had walked whole downtown.
The city has really beautiful buildings and it's so clean. But some people are quite stuck-up.
Other photos from the city are here.

The persians

Last Saturday I saw a theater play with the text from a German company. Even though I know there is a big German community in São Paulo (including a German school on my street), I definitely wasn't expecting the play would be totally in German, with subtitles.
It was interesting.

"Write our own books"

"So if no hope is given to us we’ll have to create it ourselves. If the tools of rebellion for sale aren’t really rebellious we will make them. We’ll start our own bands to inspire, write our own books to educate and we’ll build our own movements to lift us out of out of the artificial “outside”. There is a tremendous importance in doing this not only for us, but also for the people who border on being truly hopeless. Solidarity starts when we realize that we have the potential to be there for someone else, and with that only creativity sets the limits. The same means that are used to describe loneliness can also be used to instill togetherness, and to use those means in a way that matters is our responsibility".
