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...

Song of the week! In which we pay homage to disco music and Donna Summer!

Hello everyone and happy Friday!! So happy to be here today writing this post for you and for me! How are you? As usual, I wish you the best! The days are still hot and with a very bright sun, it's like the summer is here earlier in 2018, what's going on??? As you know, as much as I love blue skies, I prefer the rain, ANYWAY, but the weather fits well the song I'm bringing today!! We're going to go back in time "just" a little bit for the disco days of the disco queen herself, DONNA SUMMER! And DON'T YOU FEEL THE LOVE IN THE AIR?



This was the first song I heard of her, it came out of nowhere on Spotify last year, and I love it so much! It's so hypnotizing and exuberant! But for some time it was the only song of her I knew, until her name popped into my head for some reason this month, and now I've been listening to her so much, and her songs are truly something else! I still don't know much about this fantastic artist, but I definitely have to keep searching for her and keep discovering her wonderful songs, just like this one! It has almost ten minutes and it holds you for this whole almost ten! And you even ask for more when it's over! I'm such a musical grandpa, I think I tend to love disco music in general, it's truly a rhythm in ebullition!! And if you don't have Spotify, do not worry! I have the link for Youtube as well:


I really encourage you to listen to it, I think it's worth it! Donna Summer is what we have for today, this nice Friday! Thank you so much for being here, I appreciate you a lot! See you next time!
