Yes, we are going to have a FIFA world cup and it’s going to happen here in Brazil. Very exciting for us… and there is some reasons.

Finally gonna say some bad things about Brazil, there is no perfect places in the world, and Brazil it’s far from being one, just a little bit of reality. And you all know how amazing Brazil actually is.

FIFA choose, today (31/05) in Bahamas, 12 capitals from our 27 states that are going to host games from the 2014 soccer world cup. Take a look in the image below to see which ones they’ve got.

Well, here in my town we have two big soccer teams, Internacional and Grêmio, if you are following here you know that I’m from the first one. They picked our stadium to have the matches on. That’s an honor. But it is not the first time, this is the second world cup in Brazil, we had another one in 1950 (we lost in the final to Uruguay.) Very sad, but I wasn’t alive so… wherever :p

That’s a up-date project of BEIRA-RIO to the cup. BEIRA-RIO means (in front of the river, guess why :p)

The bad part start now. We are a third world country, so we don’t have infra-structure to be a place to have a world cup these days. That’s sad, but true. We don’t have hospitals and schools enough for our children and elder people, but we are going to spend TRILLIONS of dollars building stadiums, hotels, restaurants, maybe roads; and all that for a one month championship that ‘gringos’ are going to come here and spend some money in our country.

I know it’s a little bit rough what I’m saying, but I can’t stand this kind of thing. We have to be ‘happy’ because the politicians are doing this instead of using this money to improve people lifes’. I know that if we weren’t hosting this event we wouldn’t even have these improvements in our cities, which is why I get pissed off.

After all I’m happy anyways because I will be able to, maybe, go to a world cup game in my town 😀 Let’s say this is a Brazilian Dream lol.

Last but not least, take a look in the pre-Cup Logo, it’s pretty nice, I really liked it.

By the way, we say Brazil, with an ‘S’. Not gonna go into Portuguese grammar details :p

It was good to complain, last post I said my Canadian audience was weak and I had 3 Canadian comments \o/

Obrigado, ttyl

My apologies for the delay with the posts… but there was a good reason for that! I was working on something for my little cousin, little… she is taller than me… and she celebrated her 15th birthday this last weekend! She wanted me to produce somethings to her birthday… she did one of that big and fancy parties, everybody in black-ties and lots of champagne.
Well, I will stop writing and show the first thing, wasn’t hard to do, but i think the effect was good! This short (10 sec) video was to her entrance in the PARTY MODE:

I think the final product was pretty decent.

I mixed the traditional Fox entrance music with the Lion roar of MGM. I also produced her pictures 🙂

Well the second and more difficult task that she asked me to do was a banner 1,60m x 1,40 with “something nice.”

We all know that something nice is too random… so I though on something that would give me lot’s of work of course :p

Check the banner out:

Over 60 photos in this banner.

This was an attraction in the party, because almost everyone that was there also was in a picture. So everybody looked and tried to find themselves on it. If you’re interested in, there are several photos of me very young… if you open the photo bigger you can try to find me. One clue: I’m not white and I have the same eyebrown. 😛

Well I’ll start to write more often! My Canadian audience it’s weak… I have to increase my IMC in Canada :p

Obrigado, ttyl.

That’s one thing everybody knows about Brazil. We are crazy and good at it. Brazilian soccer is really exciting, and really cool, sometimes. But this week we had an AMAZING game, face melting as Diego would say.
Internacional (my Club) played against Flamengo (Rio de Janeiro Club.)

We are playing the BRAZILIAN CUP a death-match championship style. This was the second game for the quarter-final; the first one was in RIO and it ended up 0x0. Both teams played extremely well in the first match and everything was going to be decided here, in my hometown PORTO ALEGRE!

If this second game ended up 0x0 we would have penalty. If we had any other draw with score my team was DONE! So we HAD to win to be sure that we were going forward in the cup.

Now, please take a look in the video I made, yes I’m doing a lot of videos lately lol, just trying to make things exciting. This video tells the story of the game. I recorded most part of it with my digital camera, and used other scenes from the television. So I hope you like it because it shows a little bit of how we are CRAZY, NUTS, RETARDELY ADDICTED, to soccer.

Some extra info: There were almost 50 thousand yess 50.000 people in the stadium. Me and my brother arrived 7p.m in the stadium and the game only started 10 p.m. People cryed when the other team scored; yes, the score was in the last minute, 44, and the refery only finished the game on 50 minutes.

That’s it for now,

Obrigado, ttyl.
