Winds of change are showing in the horizon. I summoned them this time. And I hope the spell is right, I'm summoning a hurricane.
I'm trying to the best of my knowledge to be ready for this hurricane. This time life will change for me as it did when I left São Paulo.
Let's hope I will survive it.
I always have eternal worries troubling my mind. Are you as troubled as me?
Someone activated the time compression switch into 4x mode.
Time is flying so fast that I can't believe next week I'll travel to São Paulo again for another cisco training week.
I've been busy doing the summer of code project. This is not my usual self to talk about my projects here. But this time I will.
I still have an Operating Systems interview at university, one OOP project and presentation to make, and one Hardware Interfaces exam before the semester ends.
Last month was the busiest of my whole life. This is the second busiest right now. Luckily my classes at Senac are over, else July would be a good competitor to June.
Btw, I bet August will compete with June.

This is about change.
There are times in our lifes where change is forced. You take some decision which start a chain reaction of changes so powerfull, so strong.
Yet, everything looks the same on the outside.
I've made some decisions which will probably alter the whole course of my life. I've took some risks that may alter my whole future.
This is not the first time I did this sort of choices, and sometimes I wonder if I'm addicted to them. Perhaps. But I know that I feel a newborn child again.
There is so much new things to learn, and I do feel really lost sometimes. It's hard to understand and grasp so many new things at once. Not only this is happening at such a speed I've never seen before, but my job and the university is demanding my full attention and dedication.
I've got these 3 top priorities (SoC, Senac and Unesp) not to mention my wife, and I have to juggle them with clockwork precision. It is very difficult. I've never had so many occupations at once, all of them above my current level of skill.
I have no idea I will survive all of this. I may not. But I will try hard, as I always do.
I need to have stories to tell to my grandchildren, after all. :)

We are already in May.
It is difficult to accept we've been through more than one third of the year. I'm living everyday like I another day to do what I need.
Since february, I came out from uncertain employment to a stable salary as a teacher (yeah, before payment was infrequent). Reputation comes from good work, I believe. And finally I see some fruits of my work.
Our lives are really a rollercoaster. I can feel the tension of going up the hill, soon I will reach the top again and again I will fall, crashing everything around, bringing the need of another revolution, as my life has been all these years. This is, I can say for sure, my real cycle.
I feel my heart is healing from so much grief and lies. I believe I'm coming out stronger. But I need to trust again, will I ever trust again? Would you?

This is the Sith Code:
"Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me."
And this is the Jedi Code:
"There is no emotion; there is peace.
There is no ignorance; there is knowledge.
There is no passion; there is serenity.
There is no death; there is the Force."
And I tell you. Power is only a tool, the use you give to it shapes your life.

I usually have a queue of many tasks to do. There are so many tasks I don't care anymore if any of them is late, since I know which ones are top priority, or anyway, when I'm near the time the task will expire, I will finish it anyway, sometimes a bit hurried, but finished anyway.
Right now I don't have anything imediate nor urgent, and I can listen to some music just for the sake of it.
Also, there is nobody I know online right now, which is quite unusual. Even my wife is at university right now, so I'm alone at home.
I have some time spare just to myself. Without anything urgent. Even my freelancer jobs are idle. That's weird, and perhaps it is the first time I feel like this in a long time.
It is like tao. When you try to name it. It loses meaning, as defining tao is impossible to define. It is like meditation, that when you perceive you are meditating, you already lost focus.
Delicate moments of peace.
Have you ever found them?

We are 3 days from four months living together.
And I've been fighting all my demons to make the past stay in the past. Everything I've been unable to take care, everything I've left undone. I am finishing now.
It is said that we make happen that which we want most. Maybe it is happening right now. And it is all going as I want.
In four months, how will be the lives of everyone I know?

Unbelievably, I've reached the point of no return.
Finally I'll be free of this burden. I already started many of the actions that will make this world a world more just. It will take maybe months, maybe years. Maybe even nothing will happen. But in the end, I finally did what was right to do. What all the values and morals taught to me over the years have been screaming inside my head to set right. And the best part of it: Nothing I'm doing is wrong. There is nothing wrong on going to law and telling about the many crimes one person committed.
But believe me. Knowing about them and doing nothing just consumes you. Eats your soul, your peace. It feeds on your sleep, your well-being.
In the end you start blaming people around, because the world is such a shit, and you do all your asked to do. You do all you think is right and you never do anything wrong. Yet you have no peace. You have no peace because THIS IS NOT ENOUGH.
Because you know who is committing crimes and people are suffering from it, maybe nobody is dying, but the world would be a better place at all. And you do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to prevent it. And you are still so unhappy.
But now I feel better already.
And with time, maybe what is wrong will be right again. And I will feel better than I am today. For finally, more than doing everything people asked of me, I finally did something I ASKED OF MYSELF. Let's hope so.

It doesn't matter what people say about me right now. Some of my family very probably have no real idea what is going inside me. Maybe they say I'm not being fair and I shouldn't be behaving like this as family is way more sacred than whatever differences I have with my uncle.
but he lives in a castle. and I live in a small 2 room apartment. And he has a brand new car and I have an old, outdated model. And everything he owns he owns because he didn't keep his word. His greed goes stronger than family and goes stronger than his own promises. What matters if you don't keep your word, if you can build lies upon lies and in the end, nobody will really care, since you have the pool and the big house with all your family united THANKS TO YOU.
It's tough going opening this year with such a post full of simmering anger and regret and maybe envy.
It will pass. As everything passes and the world moves on.
And I will move on. I only need time.

Sometimes you make choices that may start fights you really didn't want to start.
What can you do in such a situation? There's an old saying like this: "I can give one arm not to enter a fight, but I'll give two not to be taken out of one." I believe I'm such a person.
I've already said that which I didn't really want to say. It would spark all sorts of misunerstandings and some of my very personal friends are on the "other side" of the conflict. So I hope the collateral damage ain't that terrible and in the end I don't end this year losing one good friend.
Alas, life is like this. Let's hope people understand my motives and I don't end up a troublemaker and so on. But I believe I'm already one. So let's kick some ass.

My marriage completed a full month yesterday.
How could you believe it would come to this? How was it possible that love took a chance at my door?
It's a life full of oportunities. Do you live based on what you can get your hands on or do you take only the best choices and be ready for the worse?
I said something like that a few days ago. Don't make bad choices because it will make your future possible. You will end living half your life on bad choices.
:)

One of the best things my mother taught me is that you only do stupid things when you get something really good back.
What I've been proposed wasn't exactly stupid. Actually it's the other way around. It was a good job offer. However, I'm thinking about what may happen if I don't risk keeping my actual work situation.
That's what I'm betting now. On being a good and reputed teacher.
Trust your guns. Always.

I've been a few months late in my logs.
I've been quite busy these last months.
So much happened in such a little time. Plans within plans, all unrolling unto motion, after so much careful thought.
I believe it is all working the way I like it. Flowing along the tides of destiny. As if I'm the gardener of these little trees and bushes. Trimming carefully weeds and sprouts, waiting for the flowers to blossom and turn into fruits.
We are two who became one. Finally.
And I work towards our future as I like it. Flowing along the tides of destiny.
You who read this blog, I ask you a question: Do you believe you can shape your future?
I guide my life forward, feeling the waves and following the winds of change. Have you ever felt winds blowing full of ethereal energy, surrounding you in exquisite energy, so strange you feel something is about to happen?
Don't ignore your feelings. Follow your heart and never forget Jonh Hodge. Choose life.

Don't ignore your feelings. Follow your heart and never forget Jonh Hodge. Choose life.
Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself.
Choose your future.
Choose life.

It makes me sad to see some people being so racist, so fucking ignorant, without trying to understand what it is like to be victim of such racism.
I just fell victim to that beast, with my guard down, someone just called me plain possessive, machist and most probably a pervert too.
What is the problem if I am these shit. I don't want to blame my race for it. Neither I want to excuse myself under my race.
I am what I am and fuck you, this is no nice way to tell me what I am, thinking I don't see when you're trying to call it on my face, but taking cover under racist bravado.
Oh damm, and this week was so good until now.

Time and Change aren't measured by the same ruler.
Few days ago I was cheering giving linux classes to my technical grade students. Now I got 3 linux classes under my rule.
It's a happy day for me. Time for celebration, for looking forward to my dreams and of course, to work even harder than before. And it is best that I cheer now, because going 20 hours of hard work each week will get my ass flat.
Happiness lies in the knowledge of a fruitful future doing what we like to do and do well.

Some months have gone by, so busy doing lots of small things.
Life goes faster when you do lots of small things. When your mind is busy trying to find out which small thing to do next.
I lost track of all my projects, I've moved to a new apartmant, a lot smaller and less than half the rent of the old one. I feel the quiet sea before the storm. I can sense something big is coming again, and I had to say it here, so I remember I felt it.
By the way, I finished reading the Hithchiker's and I've read the whole six Dune books. I've also read the Dune Trilogy Prequel, and I've just started reading the Legends of Dune Trilogy... oh so many good books to read.
I've also bought a NGageQD, quite a fun toy. And a cell phone too... I know, this is an uncommon post, full of trivialities and materialisms. But life is like that, full of small things.

So far, it feels like months have passed. I'm not sure if this is a returning post, perhaps this is just a fly-by post. As posts do not fly as far as I know, this is sort of whatever post.
Been reading the Hitchhiker series, I just love Douglas Adams style. Also I'm in sort of a Star Wars frenzy, re-viewing every picture that comes to my hands.
Life is going well like this. The escape pods all route to science fiction, not much patience to worry about what's going on actually.
I don't want to care about these things, I'm letting things happen as they do, and I don't care at all about the outcome. So far this is working out and I'm having a good time, thank you.
The english accent will perhaps glue to my writing style for a few months, as I'll probably re-read the hitchhiker series again as soon as I finish. They're very good.
