Carpediem

"The beach is to brazilians as the snow is to penguins."

"I dunno, I think my skin is easy burning..."

"The sea takes your bad energies and renew you to a new life."

"We always meet people on the beach. In the water you renew your soul and on the sand you renew your contact's list."


Usually when I’m not working in Luna Park or for a client here in my room, I’m at the gym, or swimming in the pool, or running on the bridge, or playing with the band (I got 2 now, but I’m quitting one of them), or whatever else. I hate to spend the whole day in my house doing nothing else than just “geeking” on the internet or watching DVDs (things that I can do during the night with my flatmates). But today, as it was the last day of my school holidays, I decided to do something different, I went to surf! Yeah! The weather was perfect with the sun burning on the clear and blue sky. I woke up earlier then usual (around 10am, hehe), had my breakfast, went to the bank and to the post office to pay some bills, and then got a bus to the beach!! Fuck! Beach! Thank God! The last time I’ve been to one was in April in Niteroi and I was really missing it.
Well, getting there... Fuck, I couldn’t believe how nice it was! The felling was perfect! Blue sky, blue water, nice wind, nice sand, a lot of lazy people like me and, as usual, girls doing topless. But the best thing about that was being there alone and spend this time just with me, my self and God. I didn’t want to invite anyone and just needed this time to stay alone and think about life. I’m really willing to do that lately and a beach is a perfect place.
Anyway, after enjoying the view seated on the sand with my Ipod, I finally went to a place and rented a surf board. Was a very good deal for some good hours of fun. With a long board you don’t have to be any “Kelly Slater” to enjoy some waves. It’s just a matter of timing with the waves and stand up on the board. Easy for a brazilian who can swim and have been surfing since the first years of life in Santos, Guarujá, and some other beaches! Hehehehe! Lóóóóóósh!
After that, around 5, I came back home (back to reality) with a smile which was going from an ear to the other, renewed, with a new mood, and ready for school, work, trouble people, and whatever this life brings me. :)
