The day that I almost celebrated the 2nd World Cup in a row...

It started as any given sunday after a very long party… Before we even planned to make the championship, we had a very healthy meal at Jeff’s, where the main topic was the previous night… for any details, please contact me through 507876191. The good part is that we always remember about the good moments and by divine intervention we tend to forget about the worst ones.

Friends getting together in front of a huge LCD, as PES World Cup was about to begin, around 18 p.m... Five teams were looking for the prize. Gonçalo, former champion of the world with his mighty and brave players of Gana, trying to bring the first world cup trophy to the African continent. Rodrigo, with his calculist Italian team, waiting for his opponents´ mistakes. João playing with Portugal, where pontifies the best striker in the world, NUNO GOMES (of course I am being ironic… but benfica supporters such as Rodrigo… well better not even comment coz on the other day one even said that he was better than Pipo Inzaghi from AC Milan – this is the proof that alcohol and drugs are harmful to your body). Roy a.k.a. Rui Tirameisso (translation to English is take it off – I think I do not need to explain the meaning), with his powerful Argentina. For last, but none the least, Tiago, debuting with the polish squad, ready to make some mess and of course, to do some damages in their opponents’ legs. The set and the bets are done. The Tournament is about to begin.

I will skip to the last game, where two teams had the opportunity to celebrate the victory. Looking at the table, Argentina was leading the championship with 8 points, after winning Gana, in a match where the influence of the referee was quite evident. Italy was 2nd with 7 points, without any chance of being what so ever (the only chance was to revalidate is 2nd place which can be called very politely as the first place of the last). Gana was in 3rd place with 6 points and about to face Portugal at the last match of the championship. Everything was at Gonçalo´s hand. Unfortunately, once again the uncultured African players were facing 14th players, as the influence of referee team has to be questioned. Once again, the African people were put aside. This seems to be clear and some players of Gana, namely PIMPONG, the best left winger of the tournament, are at this precise moment on food strike in front of FIFA´s Headquarters, trying to put some sense and trying to get a sportive truth (I hope the translation of Verdade Desportiva is well done – expression which is so many times used by individuals such as Valentim Loureiro or Luís Felipe Vieira).

Well, bottom line of this, I was not champion again because of outside factors, where I could include the so called “THE PRESSURE” (This will be a subject for a next post). Moreover, another excuse is that this time there was no prize money so the motivation for the African players was clear. And if by any chance I am not being impartial and only explaining my side of this championship, you are totally mistaken…

P.S.: I ended at the 4th place. Putting myself in Rodrigo’s shoes and try to see always some positive angle, I have to say that I was in second place… counting from the bottom…

And what if?

How many times have you asked yourself this question? This subject came into my mind when my boss, João (desculpa mas tenho que referir nomes uma vez que se temos um nome é para nos diferenciarmos uns dos outros e se a tua maezinha te disse que te chamavas assim, temos que te tratar por esse nome), had the opportunity to have sex with 2 girls and our other friend, Guilherme, but…. He did not take the chance. Why? DO YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHY? If it was me, I would say it was the pressure that everybody puts on me but in his case… MOET. And the question is “what is MOET”? Simple, it is a sparkling wine produced by inducing the in-bottle secondary fermentation of wine to effect carbonation. Usually people drink it to celebrate some event, such as weddings, New Years Eve, etc. In João´s case it is completely different. Every moment is time to celebrate. So on Friday we wanted to celebrate something (We are still trying to guess what) and he ordered 3 bottles of that type of wine (FYI: bottles of vodka in Odessa, Ukraine cost 12 euros). For what? Just to be sleeping at his door steps thinking what if he was not so drunk he would be on a crazy house party? Would not be this a good reason for him to stop drinking? Well people have to do taugh choices in life and this will be one he will have to decide on his own. If you want my opinion... keep drinking and dreaming :P.

But coming back to the main subject, yesterday I had a similar situation. And what if I had came home with 3 girls? For sure I would not be posting this entry in my blog and I would be doing something else, but again, I made my choice (frakinhoooooo). And what has to be done, has to be done and it is stronger than me. I promised to myself and to my readers that I would post no less than 3 or 4 comments and I do not want them to be unhappy. This is the pressure that I have to live day by day. Which will be one of the topics of the following posts because I want to be coherent with everything I write and there must be a line of thought.

My question for you is: And what if Baroni did not exist? Would you be reading this bullshit? :P

Unbreakable

Well it seems that I am not taking my blog with the proper passion I should but on the last few days either I have been resting from the last weekend and preparing the upcoming one at the same time…

The news is that again it will be a very calm one… not to mention that THE CARABINERI will be together again (Boss, Baroni, Cara, Santo… and the latest acquisition ROY). BUUUUUUcetaaaaaaaaa!

But so far I did not write anything about the topic of this posting, so lets change the subject… Unbreakable, a well known movie with Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson, which I strongly recommend, means that something or someone is impossible or difficult to break.

I could give you several examples to define unbreakable but I will focus mainly on two: stamina and women. Lets start from women. Are women unbreakable? For this simple question there is only one simple answer: NO!!!!!! The only thing that is implicit to an unbreakable woman is the time you take to break the ice. It can take 1 sec just with a glance when you are crossing down the street or partying somewhere; in can take some weeks whenever you are trying the “preliminaries” (cinema, dinner, coffee, a walk in the park, etc).; or years when you really find that the love of your life was always next to you as you best friend (PS: rewinding this conversation, have you notice already how much those preliminaries costs? Have you compared then with the market of “professional” career women? Just a suggestion, for both men and women, economically and financially speaking, check and compare the turnover of such investments :P). Since the last few months, I am facing a lot of those challenges, but at the same time pointless. The more I try to understand them… the less I know and the dumber I get. Mainly is my fault but people are getting stranger day-by-day. Why to be unbreakable when the obvious will happen sooner or later? Why to waste time? Older people always advised: “why to leave it for tomorrow, if I can and should do it today?”. They were right, time is precious and life is short (especially mine as I think I will not go on after 30). Shit, now I realized that I could write all night about this, but actually I am not in a mood for that as I have to plan calmly the next unbreakable…

Just to end this senseless posting, I have to say that my stamina is unbreakable… Work, Gym, Kickboxing, Karate, typing but NO SEX… even with it I would still be UNBREAKABLE…

But no more of this… see you next time…

The Beginning

Well, I am feeling like the first time I did it… you know? SEX… I was a virgin for quite a long time when related to blogs and stuff like that… Actually, after a very calm night as yesterday… and waking up with a hangover of a life time… I decide that I had to take such a huge step like this one (only comparable to getting married).
My intention is to be very straight and give some details about the life I am having through out this world (apparently very short one and not healthy at all)…
We will keep in touch and if you have any comments or doubts, please forward them to me and I will answer you asap… AND I AM NOT TELLING YOU ABOUT LAST NIGHT… coz I don’t remember at all :P
