Against History

2010: A summary

2011-01-05T22:57:00.000-02:00

2 out of 5 new year's resolutions acomplished in 2010. Not bad. I lost some weigh and I graduated. Although, I can't predict when I'll be able to get a driver's license or start my studies in psycology. I must say I went terribly bad on the saving money one, but I'll go to the U2 concert anyhow. I have realised that I have trouble on saving money long-term, all I do is taking my whole pay-check,

Song of the week

2010-12-28T01:53:00.001-02:00

I'm really emotionally attached to this song since my childhood. Besides, I love this man's voice and his melodies. "All the times that I've criedKeeping all the things I knew insideAnd it's hard, but it's harderTo ignore itIf they were right I'd agreeBut it's them they know, not meNow there's a way and I knowThat i have to go awayI know I have to go" Cat Stevens - Father and Son p.s.

Happy Holidays

2010-12-26T14:30:00.000-02:00

I'm late but who cares? It's coming on Christmas, And they're cutting down trees. Putting up reindeer And singing songs of joy and peace, Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on. It don't snow here, Stays pretty green. I'm gonna make a lot of money And quit this crazy scene. Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on. I wish I had a river so long, I would teach

I'm on my holidays, at last! And I finally managed to travel a bit, I spent my last week in São Paulo. It was wonderful! I've been there once but I wasn't able to get to know the city. I visited to museums, parks, japanese neighborhood, markets, I walked around at night, I met an online friend, I took the subway (never did that before, I'm such a redneck!) You can breath diversity, of

God help me, I'm 22!

2010-11-28T21:56:00.002-02:00

I have never been afraid of age, I always liked birthdays, not celebrating my birthday is almost an abomination for me. But recently I've been feeling a bit old (yes, I realize I'm not old at all) But I am now, able to remember and talk about things that happened over 10 years ago. I've been saying the sentences "When I was your age..." or "In my good old days.." a lot. Maybe it only means

Band of Joy

2010-11-09T10:55:00.003-02:00

After a total lack of subject I come back with something at least a bit interesting to share. Robert Plant's newest album. Everyone that knows me knows that Led Zeppelin is my favorite band and one of the major reasons is this man's voice. And I must say, it is like fine wine, it gets better with age. The album is very good for listening anytime,

Song of the week

2010-10-05T22:45:00.002-03:00

But when the night is falling and you cannot find the light If you feel your dream is dying Hold tight You've got the music in you Don't let go You've got the music in you One dance left This world is gonna pull through Don't give up You've got a reason to live Can't forget we only get what we give [New Radicals - We only get what we give] This blog is going into something

I am plus size

2010-09-27T23:40:00.000-03:00

I went out with my mother on the other day, looking for a dress for my Graduation Ceremony. And it was like hell! I wear, in American size, around 12/14 and unfortunately that is now considered fat. I'm not saying that I'm thin, because I am not, but I'm not that fat eighter. I was feeling like crap in the end of the day because none of the almost 10 dresses I tried looked nice. Just to tell the

FINALLY!

2010-09-14T21:54:00.000-03:00

I have my diploma at last! Just to share the good news. ;)

Vampires weren't SMeyer's bigger mistake

2010-09-07T20:17:00.001-03:00

This is my first incursion on Twilight related matters. This is something I've been thinking for a long, long time. Why do these young girls love Twilight so much? Nothing about it was original, not even their beloved "hero", Edward. (Better thinking, the ridiculous sparkling, dazzling, razzle dazzle thing is all Meyer) I'm not going to talk about how Bella is an empty shell. I'm all Edward

It's been too long, I'm glad to be back

2010-09-06T00:49:00.001-03:00

I have had some tough days and I'm sure that they're not all water under the bridge. But I'm also sure that there's still a lot of water to run under the bridge so... Why worry? Ideas that became drafts are about to become posts really soon. As you wait, enjoy a fine and pure shot of rock'n'roll.

2010-07-27T22:59:00.004-03:00

I'm not ok right now. I would love to write about lots of things and I have plenty ideas but I don't have strengh at this moment and I don't want to turn this blog into a place where I can complain of how much life sux.

It doesn't make sense

2010-07-23T16:34:00.002-03:00

I'm trying to gather all my courage and strengh to watch Eclipse but I can't find it right now. But, this video is almost persuading me to step into the cinema. This is Felipe Melo and he is basicly a troll (though he says he's not), he is just there getting famous by talking about the things he dislikes. I don't like his videos much, and I only watched three (the Twilight one including).

Toy Story 3

2010-07-12T20:09:00.001-03:00

I waited 11 years for this movie, really. 11 years is maybe a bit much but this is probably the movie I've been waiting the most since I heard that it was going to be made. You must have noticed that I haven't grown up and that I love animated movies or so called "children movies". It happens that Toy Story 3 isn't a movie made for children. Toy Story 3 was made for people like me,

News News News!

2010-07-02T21:02:00.000-03:00

I HAVE FINALLY FINISHED MY GRADUATION COURSE! That's it! This is the big news! My graduation ceremony sets place in September so tecnically I'm not graduated yet but I have finished all my subjects. I have had a nice week so far, things at work as less worse than I thought and I survived my feedback. I won't be there next year, thogh, unless things change. I lost my hability of planning

Against History is one year old!

2010-06-26T09:29:00.000-03:00

Happy Birthday Against History! I'm not posting as often as I wanted but It's been nice blogging for such a long time. Huge thanks for those who are reading me, whoever you are!

5 completely lame love songs that I love

2010-06-08T22:48:00.002-03:00

Love is lame or passion at least. But that's where all the fun is. Being ridiculous. From lame public expressions of love to nicknames that not even your mother could give you. But aparentely, the best "love songs" aren't about love, they're about the end of, the break up. And that's something that can get even more ridiculous, and even more funny if you're not the one involved. This list could

Be Italian: A "Nine" Review

2010-06-07T01:49:00.002-03:00

I know I said I would write an Iron Man 2 review... but I feel like I'm not enough qualified to write about it. I haven't read "The Demon in the Bottle" (shame on my... the comic book is just a few steps away in my brother's bedroom...) Well, I'll read it and maybe I'll write something about it. Maybe I'll translate my "bastard"step brother's review into English, if he allows me. He's a

To celebrate my Mira's birthday.

Not inspired

2010-05-24T22:16:00.000-03:00

I don't know what to write about at this moment. I feel tired and bored. I have loads of things to study and I've been working lots, it seems that there's no space for the creative things right now. I wanted to write an Iron Man 2 review but I'm not in the mood, I don't know why. And I'm complaining again! LOL It's just too much work and nothing interesting to say. But this will pass soon. I

The Family Jewels - Marina and The Diamonds

2010-05-17T23:33:00.000-03:00

I'm really pissed off that I lost my post but I'll start again... I've been wanting to write about her for a while. She was my (not really mine, a friend "introduced" her to me) great musical find of 2009. Her debut album, "The Family Jewels" was just released and I'm reviewing it now. Marina Diamondis is Welsh singer and songwriter with Greek ancestry, her cogname comes not only from

Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

2010-04-29T22:11:00.004-03:00

SPOILER ALLERT! This must be the film I must waited in years. Since I heard of it I've been waiting. I waited and waited and I got disappointed. The movie is way below my expectations and as a friend of mine said, Marylin Manson's POV of Lewis Carrow's most famous story must be more interesting than Tim Burton's. Well, if you expect to see a film as faithful to the book as the Walt

Julie & Julia

2010-04-26T11:51:00.000-03:00

I'm not going to really talk about the movie. I just can't think of a better title for the post now. But if you want my opinion, that's a great movie and both, Meryl and Amy were great in there. The story is beautiful and something I need. I'll explain. It's been a while since I've been thinking of blogging. I have always blogged, I mean, since I heard of the thing. It was about 8/9 years ago

Madonna

2010-04-22T21:32:00.001-03:00

I've been a fan since, I don't know... 2000 maybe. Everybody around me hates her and I couldn't really explain why and why I like her music so much. Well... while I was watching Glee's special episode about Madonna and I've got my answer: her music frees people. Of course not everybody needs freedom, only the ones that are more "opressed" - for lack of better word - that's why girls and gays

I've been thinking a lot

2010-04-07T22:56:00.000-03:00

In thinks I don't have time to think right now. I've been thinking of writing something creative, but I'm not creative. I've been thinking about lack of change. I've been thinking about being stucked in the same place / situation. I've been thinking about changes that might make me and someone else happier but I don't think it worths the trouble. I've been thinking about changes these changes

How to train your dragon

2010-04-04T16:15:00.000-03:00

IT'S THE BEST FUCKING MOVIE I WATCHED IN 2010! Ok. Now I can talk about it. SPOILER ALERT In a Vicking village called Berk lives a teenager called Hiccup. He's extremely awkward, he can't do anything right and nobody trusts him, in actual terms he's a nerd, but unlike another teenager that claims to be awkward and that we know very well, he's not an emo and it's decided to be a

It's complicated

2010-03-28T23:14:00.001-03:00

It's no news that I'm -after all- a hopeless romantic and that I love romantic comedies. But sometimes, some can bug even me, like the awful "Valentines Day" (CRAP MOVIE!) but a recent one really made my mind up. I said before that this film deserved a whole post dedicated to it and while I watched it for the second time today I was finally sure that it's a good movie: My father laughed. And

The Book of Eli

2010-03-25T21:19:00.000-03:00

SPOILER ALLERT The Book of Eli finally came out in Brazil, last Friday and I managed to watch it on Sunday. I was excited about it because after a long fasting of playing villains, Gary Oldman is once again embodying evil - and that's what he does best IMO. I was excited by this idea but I didn't expected that much from the movie. The good thing is, I got surprised. There's nothing

The Oscars 2010

2010-03-18T22:27:00.004-03:00

Yes. I do know I'm awfully late but what can I do? My schedule is crazy lately. Still, I believe I have something to say about this year's Oscars. I almost didn't watch the Oscars this year. What happens? Here in Brazil only one network holds the rights of casting it and the Big Brother's 10th edition (How could we get to that??? How?) is more important than the greatest ceremony of the

The Wolfman

2010-02-28T01:11:00.005-03:00

In a time where so called "werewolves" can't stay a single minute with their shirts on, a werewolf movie where the monster in question stays all the time dressed like a victorian gentleman is more than welcome. The Wolfman is a remake (it seems that hollywood can't create anything, anymore) from the homonym film shot in 1941. The begining of the movie totally reminded me of Bram Stoker's

Top favorite male voices

2010-02-18T22:44:00.003-02:00

They could read me anything, the phone book, the bible or even Twilight. I wouldn't mind to keep hearing their voices for hours and hours and hours. They could sing anything, I wouldn't mind to listen. Here's my favorite male voices. 6. Matthew Barlow He probably has one of the most powerful voices in heavy metal and it makes me shiver. It's amazing. The best Iced Earth vocalist ever!! Listen:

Things you don't want to know about me - but I'm telling anyway

2010-02-14T20:53:00.002-02:00

1. I love reading dictionaries, discovering new words and finding out that things like "MySpace" and "Facebook" are there. The thing with the new verbs like google and tweet (in the new meaning) is cool too. I like the way languages are alive. 2. I like to collect things. My favoritecollection is the postcard one. 3. I like to write journals... when I remember to write in them. 4. I LOVE

Parents will only have themselves to blame

2010-02-11T22:59:00.001-02:00

I alredy am ashamed of my generation but the more I watch children today, the more I'm concearned about the future. What led me to this ephifany? The first mother that complained about me in my new job. (Yeah, I've been there for a week and someone alredy complained about me) I'm a teacher assistant in this school and yesterday the lead teacher of the class went to talk with the headmaster and

Parenting

2010-02-06T15:24:00.000-02:00

Why do people have kids?Yes, they can be little annoying brats but the problem here isn't about children themselves. It's about parents. Why do they have kids if they don't want to BE parents. In my little work experience I have seen extremes. Junkie or alchoolic parents, parents that just don't give a shit, parents with no money. And rich parents that work too much or that simply don't have

The best animated films of the 2000's

2010-01-13T19:10:00.001-02:00

I'm still on the list mood. I wasn't capable to put the animation movies along with the other ones because some animated movies are REALLY better than those movies I listed on the last post. So I have chosen 10 animation movies and I'm sorry to tell that I haven't watched The Princess and the Frog yet, and according to my brother, if I had, it would be on this list. 10. Wallace & Gromit in The

Nana's fave movies of the decade

2010-01-04T16:24:00.016-02:00

First of all, I want to make clear that I am no movie critic, I'm no expert, I'm just a cinema lover. This is MY 10 favorite movies from 1999 to 2009. Writing this list wasn't easy, I would say that it was almost painful because of the feeling of "not being fair". I hope you'll enjoy. 10. The Departed (2006) Director: Martin Scorcese Funny, brutal, tense and surprising. This one goes to the my

Welcome 2010

2010-01-03T15:05:00.001-02:00

Well... it's strange to think that a whole decade is over and now I have two on by back. I can't help thinking that I'm getting older but somehow I like to believe that I'm also getting better. 2009 was shitty, (I wrote some posts about shitty moments of the year) but, by no means it was a total waste. I have learned a lot and some doors are open to me now and that should be enough (for now).

Talking about race

2009-12-01T14:00:00.000-02:00

I was reading Mira's post on her page about the impact of a previous post which subject was race. It's extremely boring to me taking about race, prejudice and racism because I'm king of bombed with the subject all the time. Still, living where I live it's REALLY necessary because a big part of our people is black or "mixed". Let me make some things clear here before I start: I'm not racist. I

Birthday Wishlist

2009-11-09T19:15:00.002-02:00

Well my birthday is on it's way and I'm letting myself dream about gifts a little bit by making a wishlist. (Who knows unh?) These are just some things I would really, REALLY love to get for my birthday. LOL Let me dream because at least it is for free. haha. Here we go... Some Gary goodies. Two movies that I love and that I don't own yet. (A shame for a fan ! At least I aredy have 8 of his

So much to say...

2009-10-22T18:18:00.000-02:00

My day didn't start in a good way yesterday. A moth got in my bedroom last morning while I was changing clothers to go to work. I HATE those things, it was huge and it was coming straight ahead to MY head! I freaked out. I went out of my room running and stumbled, twisting my foot. It hurted a lot, I didn't woked that day. I sent my student's tests results by e-mail to my boss. Three students

Robsessed

2009-10-18T23:00:00.001-02:00

Never before did I wrote two posts in the same day (nor used Inversion by my own will) but I NEEDED to share this. ---- At the age of 23, 'Twilight' star, Robert Pattinson alredy is subject od a documentary. The movie 'Robsessed' (What a nice title), that will be released in DVD (This is the movie theaters it would be THE END) in the USA in the begining of November, promises to tell the life

Tropic Thunder

2009-10-18T12:46:00.003-02:00

The first time I started watching this movie I fell asleep. It was so boring and non sense. Jack Black was exaggerating on his faces and Ben Stiller was pretty dull. Robert Downey Jr. was interesting, but I was so sleepy that even he could make watch the whole movie. Yesterday my boyfriend made me watch it (He was getting his revenge because I made him watch Mamma Mia!) and yesterday I wasn't

Bored on a Sunday afternoon

2009-10-11T17:45:00.003-03:00

No money. I can't play video game (I'm currently playing Resident Evil 4) nor watch a movie because my grandma is using the television. I'm really, really bored now, I'm watching random videos on YouTube. I've found one really funny. This is Kevin Smith, director of Dogma and Clerks, talking about Twilight on Comic Con 2009. Enjoy it.

All the same

2009-10-08T18:37:00.004-03:00

I was at a Subway restaurant today and I was watching "MTV hit list" while I was eating. Of course, apart from a U2 video, there wasn't anything good that. But I noticed something really interesting, the new "harvest" of young singers are just the same thing. I mean, some years ago we had Britney and Christina, they were the same but at least Christina had a good voice. That don't really happens

No line on the horizon

2009-09-26T19:25:00.012-03:00

When I was 13 I needed a song that talked about war for my dance classes at school, a called my father an he told me "Take a golden covered CD on the shelf called U2-The best of 1980-1990, listen to 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' and 'Where The Streets have no name'". I did as he told me to and it was love at first sight (or hearing). I became obssessed about the band, really obssessed, I had posters,
