NEW!!! Life. A vida. La vie.
I'm gonna write a bit about Life.
Life.
It will always surprise me how life can be so good, and yet can be such a bitch to you. And that's why even though I am 30 (31 on the 9th November!), I am still a baby when it comes to learning and to be wise.
I left the association.
It was a very good experience as well as a very bad one.
I got the opportunity to (at long last) do what is part of my masterplan: teach, share my skills with other people, kids- who wouldn’t otherwise have the chance to do so.
Thing is, I got USED by Selma, the director of the association.
YES: she gave me the opportunity, but at which price? She treats people as if they are sub-humans.
I will not use this blog to dirty her name: I am not a vengeful person.
I am simply very very sad that things did not work out, BUT, as Franca (Guido’s mum) told me: the important is that the kids got that opportunity.
So I moved out of the association.
Found a new place with Elicia in 2 de Julho, great little house, nice views on the sea from the 2 terraces where I have been doing yoga most mornings.
You would think that this new situation would have been my saviour, and that I would be now growing into a beautiful rose of happiness.
But no: our landlady is mad.
Ok: that’s part of life, and I really do think that we are ALL mad, that there are just varying degrees of madness, and that in fact madness maybe isn’t a negative thing.
(Apart if you kill people)
I believe that there is a scientific name for the condition of our landlady.
So far, I don’t think she has killed anyone, but she is VERY aggressive. And also bi-polar.
So one week she will be cool, then you will become her worst enemy.
That was my case, when after being really helpful to her –setting up internet for her; scrubbing my own house when it should have been done before we moved in; cleaning terraces, picking up HER dog’s shits (that’s Elicia’s official job here.)- she then started to insult me “ bitch”,”liar”, even threatening to hit me.
Why? We think it’s because she didn’t like it when I came to talk to her about her and her kids safety as well as our own, when she said she would get a gun.
So, we’re moving out again! We had 4 days to find a house, and just yesterday, out of nowhere our guardian angel appeared and offered us, well, suggested her house to rent, because she is going travelling.
Tomorrow we’re moving in, after what has been 2 weeks of extreme madness, we even got our light cut out. Michelle is becoming a star at cooking in the dark.
So, you’d think I’m probably really depressed after all this shit.
Well, thank fuck for my friends is all I have to say.
PHOTO TIME!
At "home" in crazy lady house...
We actually did a "cleaning" of the house when we moved in, with special herbs and praying and all... maybe we need to work on that a bit more huh!
Our altar.
Burning the herbs
Lavelee Michelle
Sticking images
Michelle and I decided to be teens again, and went to this crap "rave" where our mates from Ministereo Publico and Lord Breu (literally "Lord of Darkness"), dubstep DJ were playing. We got there after a fucking trek to find people sleeping there.
Thats why there no pictures of the actual partying...
ASSSSS
This last photo is of rubbish just being thrown out in nature. There isnt much education about pollution here, so I'm gonna do some graffs with ecological messages from now on.
Til then, I've been practising with my new friend, muse and the other member of our new "SoopaSakana crew : Aia, from Denmark - aka "Prem".
yeay!
...batteries ran out, so I'll post photos of my finished piece soon.
Here's the original drawing:
and the one for the previous graff:
yep, aia got me back into drawing big time:
Emos

Jacqui (ex-"crazy french lady's house" mate)'s leaving do!
We love you Jacqui, come back!
Princess Jacqui herself:
(doing what she does best)
Yoruba
Yoruba and Elicia
Yours trully.
After that small yet nice gathering, Michelle and I went to meet up with the boys from Ministereo Publico, at the recording studio where Raiz works, to do a night session.
It was grrrrrrrrrreat! I quite like being a semi-manager, giving my support to "my" artists ahahah!
(OH: by the way, I have started manageing an afro percussion band, got Michelle the job as a singer with them! ...more about that VERY soon!!!)
1 am: Waiting outside for studio to be freed...
MC Jeff being silly
Ru$$o and Raiz
Going in: the proof that we're in a top studio aight?
