Hey cool, I scored 5 out of 6 in nonags.com with my little tweaking app!! Isn't that cool? Especially given it was my first serious submission to a software site...
Today I had to deliver something for my mom's client which was not only faraway, but it was also really close to a "favela" (a ghetto, a hood, something like that). In fact, I was so luck as to get right inside the damn place. I was shitting my pants. Those places have a curfew, controlled by the criminals. If I went in there at the wrong time, I could be dead. And plus, I'm a "little rich white boy" and therefore I was risked anyway. I could see myself shot dead there.
But luckily that didnt happen and thus, I decided to give myself a little gift on the way back: a CD stomper (I lost the old one) and a set of speakers... they sound way better than the old ones. Good! Money well-spent, right??? Yeah.... (that way I dont think about how much I need to save money this month)
Ingrid called again today. I like Ingrid.

Talking about production... I didn't work at all, as I had planned.
Plus, I just found out that the babe called yesterday at 2pm and I gotta call her back and see if I can get some more nookie before the holiday's over. Oh, I'm so nasty and evil these days, I'm ashamed of myself.
This site is kinda different, you might notice a new link called Downloads where I will add links to my stuff.
Plus, it's 4:24am and I'm tired as hell, actually only awake cause I'm addicted and downloading 3 full Alice in Chains CDs.

I feel so productive right now, doing so much stuff. I guess I'm sick of listening to criticism. I like what I do and always try to make it better, so I think that does it.
So I'm trying to get better at everything that I like to do, and that I know I do well. I think theres a lot of those things, I guess right now I'm concentrating in a few... and producing as much as possible, and showing my work around, cause its not too useful to keep it all for myself.
I really came to a hard conclusion last year: quantity leads to quality. Maybe if you're a genious you can reach perfection in the first attempt, but well, as smart as I may be, I'm not a genious. So I need to work and produce a lot to reach something really good. And when I see things that way, I realize that I actually do get better and faster in things when I put myself to it... playing the piano, writing code, designing, taking pictures, writing, talking, not to mention things in my personal life.
I'm trying to be more out there, less scared to try. It's been pretty good so far... I've received compliments about things I wrote/published, that helps a lot.

In another topic, I've been thinking seriously about maybe trying something related to film making this semester. Maybe working at the Video studio at college - with the nasty guy from my old class.... bad idea. But you know what my ambition is? To use my musical knowledge for some kind of soundtrack. I've been itching to do something with some songs, but I just can't think of anything. I mean, It's not gonna be easy to make a videoclip in flash, for example, and something interesting. Although hey, if it's easy it probably sucks anyway...
I just wanna produce... produce... and improve!!!!!!

Here's my post about A Perfect Circle, as seen by the pornolizer:
"It got me wondering: how come A Perfect "Dripper Dick" Circle is so wonderful? It's raging, yet it's jerking. You can't read those lyrics and not get sentimental, yet it's far away from mellow. All the sex fighting songs are so serious, so sad, and yet, so sensual. Those musicians are brilliant, and Maynard is, well, Maynard. From "Son of a whore" Tool."

Listening to: Default - Live a Lie

I've been using this cool program called MoodLogic. It's an interesting concept of P2P, everyone should start using. It's an information sharing network, that makes it easier for you to organize your playlists. You have to rate 5 songs manually, classify them item by item (rythm, lyrics, sound predominance, style, etc). Not only is it cool cause everyone who manually profiles a song, is helping everyone in the network, but also it's such a good thing to get you thinking about the music you listen to. So it did to me.
It got me wondering: how come A Perfect Circle is so wonderful? It's raging, yet it's brooding. You can't read those lyrics and not get sentimental, yet it's far away from mellow. All the songs are so serious, so sad, and yet, so sensual. Those musicians are brilliant, and Maynard is, well, Maynard. From Tool. 'Nuff said... I mean, who else can be so lyrical and poetical and at the same time scream and yell and even swear - without becoming vulgar.

Guess what? I'm not the only brazilian ever who decided to write in english. :o)

How come Virgos is such a good band and people just don't know who the fuck they are?
They've even got some radio-friendly stuff, I just don't understand.

Condoms suck.
