In Which we talk about Apathy: how an Empire fell by a thousand papercuts

Good afternoon, dear friend! This post is going to be a big one in size, I had a lot in mind to assemble! Hope you are well, and hope the weather is lovely! I am happy it is another day on the christmas season, yet I also worry that this post is quite big! Anyway, I in advance beg your forgiveness for not writing some words properly, my eyes are bothering me... I hope my point may come across anyway... let us jump to it... There has been a number of bad events over the past weeks. In Brazil, we are closer to the meme "I can't complain about things (or else I may be in judicial jeopardy)" than not. The election here was a disaster, and not because some group voted one way or the other, that is the wrong way of looking at it. Truth is, it was one election with a predetermined result. The evidence over fraud or at least something very eerie happening to the process is enough to, unfortunately, I must tell, because some certainly deserve the shaming, absolve people from any b...

In which we talk about the weather these days!

Hello everyone!!! Happy Wednesday to you!! How are you today and how are things going?? As usual, I wish you the best, and hope your day is being great so far! Thank you so much for being here!!
Have to say, I have this sensation September is passing pretty fast! Of course this is just an impression, but I do feel that way! How about you guys, do you feel the same way? I don't know, sometimes the time seems like it won't pass, sometimes it goes pretty fast, how crazy life is! 
So, today I went to college and had my class, and then I had some pizza for dinner, because pizza is the best thing ever, of course! I had some headache, but I managed to take my medication and I'm feeling better now, headaches sucks so much, it's so terrible! I always have at least one per month, hope this headache was my last one this September! And here I am, writing this post!
The weather is being unpredictable these days! Like I said, I didn't have too much rain this winter, which is heartbreaking, but at least this week I'm experiencing something bizarre, like sometimes the day starts really hot, and then out of nowhere it starts to rain!!! The clouds come in and the water starts to fall, out of nowhere! But then, the clouds fade away, and the heat comes back even stronger than before! This rain/heat mood is the perfect enviroment for mosquitoes! It's kind of a mosquito season now, it's so sad, but it will pass soon, nothing some extra clothes (in spite of the heat) and some insect spray can't solve!
Today I just wanted to make a really quick post to check on you guys and see how are things going! And just to talk a little about the weather too! I'm sad winter is going away and Summer season is about to strike, but hey, with summer it comes Christmas, my favorite season will be here soon enough, something that makes me happy, though I'm not necessarily in a hurry to finish up this year of 2018, like I said, things seem to be passing quickly enough, why rush it even more? 
I also wanted to share this painting with you guys, by the famous Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890)! I like him a lot! 


This is part of a series he did, which is called "Wheat Field with Cypresses"! It's a series of 3 very simmilar paintings he did on wheat fields! I love how ondulated and strong this is, it pleases me a lot, it's like it's moving! It's filled with energy!! This is something I appreciate a lot on a painting! I grew to like Van Gogh a lot, I should make a post on him soon!!
So that's it for today, dear reader! Thank you so much for being here, you're the best!!! Hopefully we see each other next time!! Also, forgot to mention, this month my blog had its 3 month of existence anniversary! This makes me so happy! Hopefully I'll be able to keep posting for quite a while more, thank you so much for reading!
