So much has changed since my last post.
I had a lot of plans willing to come out, each of them calling for my attention.
What changed since then? I'll tell you, in plain, simple, direct words. I got a new job.
Does it means that all of these plans have changed? Of course not! But the change is so fundamental... Whereas until now I've been at the mercy of the uncertainty, not knowing if I'd still be working at the same company a few years from now, I finally feel that I work somewhere where I can grow career-wise.
That's a bold statement, even premature. Well, this is a feeling, right. It's supposed to be premature.
In a few months I'll be able to get a better grip on my (hopefully) new reality. So far, it does look very promising.
But I digress, I was talking about my plans and the effect of my new job on them. I'll need to rethink some of them. New doors are open, and I still ponder if any closed at all, I believe not.
It'll be fun to re-read this post in a few months. Who knows what plans I'll be making then?
In my last post, I was trying to find what I'd be worried next. Well, it turns out that I have a lot of things to worry about, as you might have guessed.
Yeah, like, should I plan my next vacations? Should I save to buy an apartment? What certification is next? Should I enter a gym? Should I start my post-graduation studies?
As you can imagine, I want to answer YES to all of these questions. Alas, I'm just one. And that means that I've to pick one. Not an easy matter. Each of the above goals have its pros and cons. All of them, if you think dearly of each, have their pros outweighing the cons!
Now, that can be confusing, if you keep trying to weigh one over another, that is where the mistake is.
Well, pick one and go for it! That's a good answer, after all, all are good choices, any is better than none.
But one of all others is my personal favorite. Yeah! Vacation planning!! No, sorry, that *should* be my fav, but it ain't. It's pursuing my next certification, and I can give you a reasonable excuse: an advance in my certification - a significant one, is the necessary step to open doors to two other plans. Vacations and our own apartment.
That's a plan I've been procrastinating for almost a year, since I finished my CCNP. And it's about time I pull it back to the foreground again.
Oh! That brings another good Eternal Worry to the front! When, dear reader, when is the proper time to start one of your personal plans? Everybody has a plan right? Why do you keep it deep in your drawer? Why don't you start it? Why not today? Why not now?! You might say, oh that's easy for you to say, you're writing on a blog right now. So, that's not much for a plan startup...
It is. It's the materialization of my will to move my life forward. And maybe motivate you, dear reader, to help you start your plans too.
Shall we?

My vacations ended fast, life resumed, work resumed.
Right now life is pretty good. Got a lot of bills to pay, like everyone. But we're in a new apartment. Rented it quite quickly, moved in fast... Unboxed almost everything.
I have been wondering about what to do next. Oh, I didn't mention, did I? I'm on my final week of exams and after that I'll be finally graduated... into network technologies. Two years and a half of seeing people learn the basics of networking, getting a bit smarter about our trade... I maybe even got a few new friends.
As to finishing graduation itself. I don't care. Really. You might say, "oh yeah, you don't care, then why the heck are you talking about it?" Well, because that's the hook for the question. What next? As you, dear reader, must already wonder, I'm not worried about the endings. Endings are just like targets for me. Once I hit it I want to target something else.
I'm always wondering what I'll do next. At least that's how my mind works these days...
I remember worrying about how I'd pay my bills. How I would even survive in the next month. If I were performing fine at work. If this or that pain in the ass coworker would miss work tomorrow, or die shitting in the toilet...
Well, I digress. I used to worry a lot. That's the point. Right now I'm not worrying that much at all. That's what I've been worrying about. I mean, that I'm kinda worried about not being worried at all. Confusing? Nah, not really. Worrying perhaps.
Maybe I'm more self-confident. Maybe I just know that things will work out anyway. Maybe I realized that letting things happen won't hurt a bit.
So that leaves a lot of room to do other things. Like worrying about what to do next. What was that again?

Vacations! Time to work on Nothing!
I can't really remember the last time I had real vacations. No, I'm not visiting a new city, having the time of my life or walking the outback of Australia... I'm at home, playing PS3 and laying on my sofa the whole day.
What you maybe wondering, friendly reader... is "What?! You're doing nothing the whole day?" Yep, I am! Doing nothing with pride, with a complete sense that doing nothing is exactly what I had in mind for my vacations.
I've been covering my coworkers vacations and trainings since november last year, and boy, that is tiresome. Not stressful as my work marathon in '00, of course, that I hope I'll never do again. But tiresome anyway.
Alas, I'm on my 3rd official day of vacations, I still have 7 days of vacations to cover and I plan to enjoy each day doing absolutely nothing! Except, of course, eating, sleeping, drinking homebrew coffee, smoking and playing PS3! hehe
People travel on their vacations, visit their relatives, meet new people, new places... Hey, that is fun, except of course visiting relatives *grin*. If you ask if I want to do such things, yeah I want. Not these vacations, though. I enjoy all these things (no need to work on that, I'm as human as you are), but life has a lot of meaning everywhere. Be it away or at home.
Reader, when are your next vacations? Can you enjoy your vacations no matter where you are? I bet you can. Try it.

It's been a while since I really felt the need to write. There's no real Eternal Worry troubling my mind at all. I just felt the need to vent out a bit, about some religious fanatics I saw on some blog commentaries elsewhere.
What in the damn universe were such people thinking when they gave up all reasoning and spiritualism and decided to be The Blind Zealots of The Only True Religion That Will Bring Salvation? What deturped idea is that they call Faith? Why do they say "Deus é Fiel" when they should be the faithfull ones (unless that quote states that god has such a good self-steem, I doubt it, that is, if he existedu).
Above all, why they have such idiotic need to disprove, humiliate and disrespect other religions? Where did this people read that is mandatory? Who told them that is proper attitude? Lemme answer that myself. They've never read it anywhere, and nobody told them that is how they should treat others. They're simply trying to justify arrogance and a very flaky ego behind "sacred teachings". In the end, although they boast being religiousness, they're the complete opposite of the true teachings of their religion. If religion was a belief (is it?) I'd call them hypocrites, as they'd be offended of considered a belief, I believe I need to call them... what? sinners? Nah, they've committed no sin, did they?
Dear reader, do me a favor. Ask your inner god for guidance. I bet the universe will be grateful.

Oh music, glorious food to our souls... From time to time I get myself listening to some I find extremely attuned to my feelings.
This one I've listened many, many times, one of my personal favorites. (btw, I couldn't find any good lyric for this track... horrible errors of transcription, so don't mind the errors).
Blink, by Infected Mushroom.
Don't smoke, Don't drink
All I do is think
About the lifelines, hard times
Trying to be kind, such a drama player
Trying to amuse myself
Beats and waves will take my to my grave
And when I go there I know that I won't be alone
Because I've been spotted, blotted
Many, many times before
Eased and pleased, Released from my shiver
I will be flying above, the hated and the loved
And if you see me honey,
You had better blink your eyes
Strange how lines blur into one
Bond with me and have some fun
To blow our mind
This is the way to expand the time
Trouble comes in many forms
I'll show you mine if you show me yours
Walking out of the circle
Step by step I'm learning alone
That I can conquer my demons
Just need to remember my home
There's no need to be frightened
We here already, all dead
But yet on our unending vibration
Danger lurks only in my head
Come break through with me
Such wonders terrify the soul
It's real, no need to question
Knowledge infiltrates the whole
Lightning strikes in the darkest places
Threatened we have to make choices
Lizards try to tell us which one
Strange how lines blur into one
Blend with me and have some fun
Blow our mind
This is the way to expand the time
Trouble comes in many forms
I'll show you mine if you show me yours
Strange how lines blur into one
Blend with me and have some fun
Blow our mind
This is the way to expand the time
Trouble comes in many forms
I'll show you mine if you show me yours

As you can see, I'm not as worried as I used to be. To celebrate this fact, here's some power metal lyric to rise yer warrior spirit:
Demons blood and dragon fire, falling on my wings
Racing to the battle in the sky
Ancient gods are calling me I hear them when they sing
Of all the heores who wait for me to die
Beneath the cloak of magic, Ill meet them in the air
I am invisible, I move without a sound
They look but cannot find me, they think that Im not there
With a spell I send them crashing to the ground
Wait for me dragon, well meet in the sky by fire and magic I am sworn
Hell is calling! we cannot be denied fly to the blackness of the storm
We must die to be reborn
I wear a sacred talisman, I make a secret sign
Now welcome me into this wicked wind
On the journey of a shaman a dragon I must ride
The gates of hell are open! let me in!
Rule in hell or serve in heaven choose an altar or throne
All commandments and the laws of man disown
Now eat the fruit of knowledge unto no one ye atone
Into the fire with your soul!
Wait for me dragon, well meet in the sky by fire and magic I am sworn
Hell is calling! we cannot be denied fly to the blackness of the storm
We must die to be reborn
Demons blood and dragon fire, falling on my wings
Racing to the battle in the sky
Ancient gods are calling me I hear them when they sing
Of all the heores who wait for me to die
Beneath the cloak of magic, Ill meet them in the air
I am invisible, I move without a sound
They look but cannot find me, they think that Im not there
With a spell I send them crashing to the ground
Wait for me dragon, well meet in the sky by fire and magic I am sworn
Hell is calling! we cannot be denied fly to the blackness of the storm
We must die to be reborn

So, if you do follow my blog, you may remember that I was under a (quite futile) doubt. Should I buy a new car or an used one.
I ended up buying a new one. And I must confess, I'm in love with it. Buying a new car is really a nice and pleasant experience. Though you risk becoming too materialistic... Like being worried about someone accidentally hitting your car... or if some damn bird will poo over it.
I also spent a bit more and had one cd/mp3-player installed. Being in the car almost one hour everyday really demands music.
Anyway, it was a very good experience, I'm damn happy about it.
I'm not even worried about having 5 years of bills to pay.. ouch.
Oh, and btw.. that pic I took 2 days after I got the car. My parking lot is really ugly...
Choice, the problem is choice.
One of my all-time favorite quotes...
Choice right now has become a decision about where I'll be losing less. And in most capitalistic terms... completely out of my usual realm of decisions. Should I buy a new car or an used one.
If I buy a new car, I'll have a longer debt and I hope, fewer problems... An used car is a bit cheaper, but I can expect more problems..
Either way, I'm losing money, and that's never good. On the long run, I hope I made the right choice.
Ohh too worried to blog btw...

Face it, friends aren't your guardian angels. They're not there to help you no matter what, no matter the consequences or even to be there for you anytime you want.
Though the romantic view of friends is so delusive, friends are people like you. They're subject to their own moods. They've got their problems. They face difficulties. They have priorities they cannot ignore. And never forget, they chose to be your friend. They may choose otherwise, you need only to do something they cannot accept.
Think to yourself now. Why you don't have friends? Is it because you're always doing something contrary to their beliefs? Is it because you didn't listen to their counseling, when what they were doing with the best of their intentions, was giving real advice, deep from their hearts.
Oh, maybe when they were needing you most, be at work or with a personal issue, instead of being compassionate, you chose to simply ignore their feelings and needs and acted like a complete stranger.
I have few people I can call friends. Those are people I respect, those are people that respect me. They know who I am, they know who they are. They're not there anytime I want, they're not my guardian angels, they're my friends.

There we go, I'm now 30 years old.
New year, new job. Old quotes... Today I care not, I worry not and have no intention of making any sense. My words shall come in any order I find it coming and without any special meaning at all. So, be a kind reader and play along if you will.
"Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose." It's been some 15 years since I read that phrase for the first time, and it still rings very true to my ears.
And like Paul Atreides said, "I will not fear, fear is the mind-killer", let another thirty years come by, then I'll look back to it's path. Only I will remain.
As Roland of Gilead said, and as I've repeated many many times. "I have not forgotten the face of my father."
Oh, and by the way... I hope that when I reach the top of the Dark Tower, it doesn't send me back to the desert like it did to Roland.
Gotta find some new books to read, or maybe re-read some old ones :)
Happy birthday to me! :D

A friend from my work got kidney stones... Time to open an exception on my blog and post in portuguese, to honor him. (Dark humour)
No meio do caminho tinha uma pedra
tinha uma pedra no meio do caminho

Nunca me esquecerei desse acontecimento
na vida de minhas retinas tão fatigadas.
Nunca me esquecerei que no meio do caminho

Some days you wake up not knowing why you're here, some days you want to forget what life is all about. Some days you just want to be in bed waiting for things to happen, you watching life happening and doing nothing about it...
Yeah, my mood ain't great today. Anyway, here's a little lyric of one of my favorite songs:
Some days are dry, some days are leaky
Some days come clean, other days are sneaky
Some days take less, but most days take more
Some slip through your fingers and onto the floor
Some days you're quick, but most days you're speedy
Some days you use more force than is necessary
Some days just drop in on us
Some days are better than others
Some days it all adds up
And what you got is not enough
Some days are better than others
Some days are slippy, other days sloppy
Some days you can't stand the sight of a puppy
Your skin is white but you think you're a brother
Some days are better than others
Some days you wake up with her complaining
Some sunny days you wish it was raining
Some days are sulky, some days have a grin
And some days have bouncers and won't let you in
Some days you hear a voice
Taking you to another place
Some days are better than others
Some days are honest, some days are not
Some days you're thankful for what you've got
Some days you wake up in the army
And some days it's the enemy
Some days are work, most days you're lazy
Some days you feel like a bit of a baby
Lookin' for Jesus and His mother
Some days are better than others
Some days you feel ahead
You're making sense of what she said
Some days are better than others
Some days you hear a voice
Taking you to another place
Some days are better than others

Some days are sulky, some days have a grin
And some days have bouncers and won't let you in
Some days you hear a voice
Taking you to another place
Some days are better than others
Some days are honest, some days are not
Some days you're thankful for what you've got
Some days you wake up in the army
And some days it's the enemy
Some days are work, most days you're lazy
Some days you feel like a bit of a baby
Lookin' for Jesus and His mother
Some days are better than others
Some days you feel ahead
You're making sense of what she said
Some days are better than others
Some days you hear a voice
Taking you to another place
Some days are better than others
Nostalgia time!
Windows 3.0 was launched in 1990! And today sites over the Net reported that MS finally stopped licensing Win3.x... Of course this is not what The Log of Eternal Worries is about.
I just remembered that when I was a kid, back in 1990 give or add a year or two, I created my first BASIC programs, silly things like
10 PRINT Digite seu nome
20 PRINT Idiota, nao sabe nem seu nome! Tente novamente!
30 GOTO 10
That means some 18 years I got into this wild ride of technology... If you discard when I was even younger and I went to moms office to play blackjack, poker and stunts on the accounting PC.
Maybe those days shaped my childhood dreams, well, maybe this is fate playing its greatest prank on me... Anyway, I hope your job today is what you dreamed as a child. That's what Nostalgia is about.

Shitty things happen sometimes. Like someone shitting in your head leaving you to clean up the mess, driving you nuts in the process.
Damn, just hate being told to act like a sheep. To be told to simply walk around the rock... But anyway that's one way of dealing with (brainless) rocks. Just walk around it and keep going. When you look back, the rock is smaller and smaller, you're far down the road, and the useless rock is still there, at the same place, doing exactly the same thing. (Nothing, of course. What does a rock do?)

I sometimes wonder what comes after life. Yeah, death alright, but is there afterlife? Is it paradise? Do we queue on line again to be born as an animal or plant, based on our actions?
In my wildest theories... And I warned you this is a wild theory, I believe that everyone around me that dies simply die and disappear, their only meaning in life is to teach me something. Then you wonder, what happens when I die? Well, when the day comes that I die, everything will die with me. Yes, like the game name, The World Ends With You. I don't mean you will be living. Not at all. I'll die and the game is over. The lesson is learned. Whatever "I" was thinking when "I" decided to create this huge thing called reality will end and "I" will probably wonder what to do next. Which inevitably means "I"'ll rerun reality again, but put "myself" on another perspective, which means, of course, someone else.
As I told you before. It is one my wildest theories. The Life is at whole, a simple game of perspective. You and I, we're all the same. Maybe you cannot connect to the quintessential link that exists between everything... but I believe I glimpsed it, in my mind's eye. It is crazy, pointless and infinite. It won't cease and quite frankly, I like it the way it is. Let fiction be the realm of nightmares come true.
(No, I'm not high on any drug, legal or illegal. But my friend's death got my imagination on a wild spin, let this be my way of honoring him).
