I got a really nice surprise yesterday. It turns out that before she was my favorite bald chick, my mother was this really cute twenty-something 70s girl who wore crochet tops and checkered pants. I got this photo she sent me when I was almost 3, and Ill post it here whenever I get it scanned.

Upon further refection, what used to be here might be true, but it is not true for me, so it is gone.
I am really excited about making new friends here, I already ran into some cool, brand new people that I think I would really enjoy, like The_LL and Marlowe
Of course, the kiddies in my friends list do not need to be mentioned....

My mama's from Salvador.
I'm excited because this year my family and I are going for Christmas, and my mom hasn't been back for 27 years. I'm thrilled that my brothers will finally see how beautiful it is and how wonderful Brazilian people, are, too! I know they're going to be pleasantly surprised.
Happy Thanksgiving!

So this weekend I had a fantastic time playing Capoeira with Mestre Jurandir and the Atlanta FICA Group. I had not played in a while, and the classes were intense. I had a really good game with this guy from NC, probably one of my best ever.

So after a few weeks that have been tumultuous to say the least, I finally decided to join up. I'll write more later, but right now I just wanted to throw out a HUGE thanks to sniggitysnags and HyperMediocrity for being so super-nice to someone they don't even know. You guys were fantastic. Thank you.
That's such a sad statement, but at the same time you seem content. It's good to be able to appreciate what was beautiful about someone even after you've lost them.
I haven't been exposed to much Brazilian music, I'm afraid. Most of what I've found I've sought out myself, like old bossa nova and samba classics from compilations. When I was in Brazil for the first time as an adult I was stunned by the sheer number of subgenres that exist within Brazilian music. I'd like to get to know them all-even pagode's good for dancing sometimes, right?
i needed that comment.
