In Which we have many years in a week: Morning in Brazil, too?

Good morning, most kind and dear friend, reader of this present post, too! How are you? This is a post I have been trying to write since this Tuesday or so... and it has been quite hard to think on what to develop into a more substancial thought. There is a lot that I would like to talk, and I was terrified of starting a post, only to delete it and leave it at that, it happened time and again, and it destroys me for the moment. I don't know why such a strong repulsion against starting a thought and not knowing how to end, not finding a good way to conclude. Perhaps it is fear of fatigue. Or of being mistreated. But I do have an ongoing trend that I perceive, I really, really wanted to mention it. I did start the year a bit annoyed with the 2016 nostalgia, and on that line, I said that it was more of a 1989 year than 2016. I said it due to the capture of Maduro, the (ongoing) second Iranian Revolution and war, the immense losses the left suffered across latin America, that brought s...

In which we say Hello to July! Meet Mr. Struggleshire

Good morning, dear reader! Welcome to the divagation store! Here we are, in the month of July! Happy July to you, wish you the best! I'm really happy to have you here, as I always am! The rainy days are back, I'm wearing my new sweater, writing this post while watching to Scandal and commiting a fashion crime wearing socks with slippers! Things seem to be going fine today, and I really hope we all may have a nice month, better than June, and better than May! And how are you today? How's your day going so far? Are you commiting any fashion crime as well? Hmm hope not, this world can't take another socks with slippers!


Here's my new sweater btw, I love him so much

But not everything is roses in this vacation heaven, I'm 100% out of ideas for posts today, which is such a bummer! I thought really hard on what to write, and I still wanted to have a post today, cause you know, I love to write and just wanted to wish you a nice new month. Well, so I went to look for anything on my computer folder, and fortunately I found something that I think might be nice! Made this sketch a couple of weeks ago, meet Mr. Struggleshire!


Mr. Struggleshire was born in a rush of energy I had in some late week in June! He's in his mid 30's and he's an architect! His sweater is based on the pattern of Autocad, in one of the choice of colors you can have on the screen! And why is his name Mr. Struggleshire? Well, because architecture can be really hard, and many people tend to overlook it, and sometimes architecture school sounds more of a architorture for me - pun intended! Architects struggle, and Mr. Struggleshire knows that way too well, he drinks tons of coffee, stay way too late at night trying to fit bathrooms and kitchens into place, he cries in pain when his Revit software crashes, and he doesn't like contemporary architecture, so he founds himself lost in the world of Calatravas and Hadids, even though he's not a reactionary... 
Mr. Struggleshire is also a slightly different sketch for me, I tried a new shape for the eyes, and just a different configuration for the face, and also a different way to color him.
And Mr. Struggleshire is what we have for today! I'm really happy to have you here again! I see you next time! Happy July!!!
