Hey Everybody!

-

Well, I am currently living in Brazil! I will be living here until summer 2007

-

Brazil is fantastic! It is more than I could have ever imagined, it´s just so incredible in so many ways...things are different here, in ways so subtle it takes time and care to notice, and it is in these differences that makes it so worthwhile being here. They are what make me appreciate everything so much.

And, here is the funny thing about Brazil; I feel like I just got here, yet I also feel like I have been here forever. The time has just flown by really, it´s hard to believe I´ve been here as long as I have already - and yet, I feel so comfortable and so close to the people here that it seems as if I have known them my entire life.

It´s crazy.

My city: Aracaju, Sergipe

-

And, here is the best part. I have found something so wonderful, I could never have asked for anything more perfect. It was unexpected and it happened so fast, I didn´t see it coming...but here it is, here we are, and I am more happy than I have ever been before. I will cherish every moment, make all the time we have together worth its while, for you - this, it is what I have been searching for...this is real. I am so blessed to have found someone so great, so intelligent, funny, kind, friendly, caring, handsome, respectful, understanding...words are not enough to describe everything that you are to me. You are everything. You´re my angel

I love you

To all of my new friends here - thank you all so much for being so welcoming and supportive and awesome, it´s been great and it´s going to be such a fantastic year! You are all such nice, great, FUN people, I am so lucky to have come here to Aracaju and found friends as amazing as you  

-

And to all of my friends back home - I love you all so so incredibly much, I miss you I really do, I wish you could all just hop on a plane and come here for the year with me. ´Cause hey just think - you are all wonderful, my friends here are all wonderful - imagine how wonderfulistic it would be to smoosh you all together here in paradise for an entire year!!! Now THAT would be perfect. *sigh* AND, then we´d all be a year behind together

Infinite hugglies for everyone

And that is all!

. . . . . . . .

My relationships with those who are close to my heart are of the most importnat things in my life, as knowing love is a necessity of living.

I thrive on love. It's so powerful; like a confirmation that we're fulfilling our purpose on earth, that we're making a difference, that we matter to someone, and that someone's life wouldn't quite be the same without us.

That kind of legacy is the one that I strive to create. Real bonds. Real connections.

I am touched by every act of kindness. It's the small things that make all the difference.


So, to all those who have made a difference in my life...thank you.




And that's me.

For the most part.

I can be a little off the wall at times.

"What good would wings be if you couldn't feel the wind on your face?"

~Susan – City of Angels



"I would rather have had one breath of her hair, one kiss of her mouth, one touch of her hand, than an eternity without it."

~Seth – City of Angels



"I do not fear them, I pity them. You know why? Some people will never know beyond what they can see with their own two eyes…"

~Night-Crawler – X2



"When I look at you, I'm home."

~Dory – Finding Nemo



"We’ve got to hold on to what we’ve got ’cause it doesn’t make a difference if we make it or not, we've got each other and that's a lot for love - we'll give it a shot..."

~Bon Jovi - Livin' on a Prayer



"I know what I have to do now. I have to keep breathing. Because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?"

~ Chuck Noland – Cast Away



"So impossible as they may seem, you've got to fight for every dream…"

~ Ruben Studdard - Flying Without Wings



"Don’t be afraid of death, be afraid of the unlived life."

~Tuck – Tuck Everlasting



"Blackbird singing in the dead of night,
take these broken wings and learn to fly.
All your life, you were only waiting
for this moment to arrive,
you were only waiting for this moment to be free…"

~The Beatles - Blackbird



"And how high can you fly with broken wings
Life's a journey - not a destination
And I just can't tell what tomorrow brings."

~Aerosmith - Amazing

~Third Eye Blind – Semi-Charmed Life



"Shades of grey wherever I go
The more I found out the less that I know
Black and white is how it should be
But shades of grey are the colours I see.

~Billy Joel – Shades of Grey  



“It means the dance of slaves. It was their only chance to be free, so they could be a bird, or do a flamingo step and make fun of their owners, or just be the sea instead of being stuck on an island away from home. It is a dance about being exactly who you want to be in that moment…”

~ Javier – Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights



“When your heart runs deeper
then a ghost town gold mine
You know you’re just bound to find that motherload…”

~ Big & Rich – Deadwood Mountain



“Every time I breathe I take you in
And my heart beats again;
Baby I can't help it,
You keep me drowning in your love...

And every time I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
Baby I can't help it,
You keep me drowning in your love…”

~ Backstreet Boys – Drowning



“It's the little imperfections it's the sudden change in plans
When she misreads the directions and we're lost but holdin' hands;  
Yeah I live for little moments like that…”

~ Brad Paisley – Little Moments



“Is it you I want
Or just the notion of
A heart to wrap around so I can find my way around…”

~ Breaking Benjamin – Rain



“Defense is paper thin,
Just one touch and I'll be in
Too deep now to ever swim against the current,
So let me slip away…”

~ Dashboard Confessional – Vindicated



"And if I don't make it, know that I loved you all along..."

~ Our Lady Peace - 4AM

Faith Enough - Jars of Clay


The ice is thin enough for walkin'
The rope is worn enough to climb
My throat is dry enough for talkin'
The world is crumblin' but I know why
The world is crumblin' but I know why

The storm is wild enough for sailing
The bridge is weak enough to cross
This body frail enough for fighting
I'm home enough to know I'm lost
Home enough to know I'm lost

It's just enough to be strong
In the broken places, in the broken places
It's just enough to be strong
Should the world rely on faith tonight

The land unfit enough for planting
Barren enough to conceive
Poor enough to gain the treasure
Enough a cynic to believe
Enough a cynic to believe

Confused enough to know direction
The sun eclipsed enough to shine
Be still enough to finally tremble
And see enough to know I'm blind
And see enough to know I'm blind

Should the world rely on faith tonight





. . . . . . . .











I think I would have missed you, even if I hadn't met you...












. . . . . . . .











If I have succeeded in helping one person smile today,

everything I've done up to this point

has been worth its while
