"It's not important to me to make other people at ease. I am difficult, but that's because I don’t really give a fuck." - Amy Winehouse
I guess you could call me a very direct person. I say what I think. Some people think that is a bad thing. They think that instead of expressing your honest opinion on something, you should just give a watered-down version that is easy for everyone to swallow.
People like honesty. But not true honesty, just easy honesty (which is not really honesty anyways). People who are "brutally honest" are often looked down upon. But those "brutal" people are the only people who you can really trust. Who's opinion would you rather have - someone who tells you what you want to hear OR someone who tells you the truth - ??
I blog for myself mostly, not for other people. Of course I care about my readers and their opinions! But I am saying that I am not going to be one of those people who go out of their way to entertain people and attract visitors. The way I see it - I would rather have 5 daily visitors who actually care about what I am writing about, then 100 who just like the "sparkly" stuff. Understand? I think the definition of a great blogger is someone who attracts their visitors by being 100% true to themselves. Because if you even have to pretend to be someone else on the internet, then that is pretty sad.
So I made this site, then forgot about it. And then I got bored, here I am again. Welcome back me...
No what I hate? LIERS! Especially the kind of people who feel the need to always one-up you. You tell them a story, and it just so happens that the same thing happened to them too!! Except their version is somehow better then yours.
So when your friend tells you something that you know is a lie, do you just go along with it? Even though you know in your head that it is a bunch of bs? Or do you call them out on it? For me, my brain is always screaming "That is a lie you douche!!", but my mouth just says "Oh wow, cool". But then afterwards, I always wish I had called them out on it.

I have finished most of the coding for the site. I still need to make a few more pages and move some of the content I have on my other site to here. But for now, the blog aspect of my site is fulling up and running.
Good news! Just next week of school and then it is summer break!! School is just too boring and pointless everyday. I don't understand anything, and I don't really like the people there. Even though I can have conversations with people in Portuguese, people don't want to give the time to talk to me or get to know me. People just say the same stupid things to me and laugh everyday. It is all getting pretty old.
Hopefully I will be moving to the university once summer break is over. The owner of the uni is a Rotarian and he lets exchange students attend the college. My best friend Andreas (Norway) and I are planning on going there. Hopefully everything works out. If not, I am still going to switch schools. I really can't go back to my current school. I think a fresh start will be nice. I will be able to properly meet and get to know everyone.
I feel like I am living in a soap opera or a reality tv show. There is constantly drama and gossip going on. Everyone bitches about everyone whenever they are bored and have nothing new to talk about. I think it happens because we all hang out with each other almost everyday.
Hey MTV, get your cameramen over here in Brazil. Follow us around. I guarantee you that our lives would attract an audience.
