Mission Impossible: Mac Book Pro Arrival

http://worldthrumyeyes.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/macbook-pro-2008-concept-468.jpg
Hello oncre more fellow readers. For this post I would like to share something that has really upset me... my Mac Book Pro arrival. I decided to purchase a Mac Book Pro at the beggining of the year, January to be more exact. The reason for my decision is following: I enjoy making and editing videos, and Macs are said to be the best platform for such. Thus, I chose the Mac Book Pro with several video editing videos pre installed in it already. The only problem was whether buying it here or the U.S. Since the Mac prices got recently cheaper here in Brazil, I decided buying it here. So my dad ordered it at April 28th and the site guaranteed it would arrive at my house at 2 weeks max. Guess what? Three weeks have passed and it did not arrive yet. I annoyed my dad a couple of days ago to do something about it and I annoyed him so much, that he called the responsibles and made them deliver it the soonest possible. Naive as I am I really beleived they would bring it onm the the due date. Anyways, I called them the day it should arrive and asked them what the hell was going on. Needless to say, they brought it the next day. Sometimes you need to solve things for your self.
Respect.

Favorite Post- Cool Way to Look Goatee!!!

Blog Category: Informative




Greetings, fellow readers. I've been observing some of those cool wise guys from movies. Look at the pictures at this post to have an idea of what I am talking about. Well, all of them possess a goatee. Now, there is a major understanding on the meaning of a goatie. According to dictionaries, a goatee is: a small pointed or tufted beard on a man's chin. When people read small they believe it is actually small in length and then consider the wise man's goatee( a facial hair style) a beard! Can you beleive it?! It is absurd. A goatee is a gift only the wise possess. Goatees may be long in length, not in width. Pedro and I came to the conclusion that men of goatees are chancellours and the best advisors to those who seek help from itellectuals. If you have any issue, all you need to do is find one of these man(like seen in the pictures) and ask for their help. Do not be afraid if they take a long time to respond, for they are men deep in thought where any missued word may lead to a misapprehension. They can be found anywhere, such as the streets, fields, mountains, plains,etc. Another thing we found out, is that the wiser you are the longer your goatee. Pedro and I are still seeking wisdom and experience, for now our goatees are almost invisible to the eye. Anyways, you may find us during a day after school observing the view from the bar while scratching our little goatees. That is one more characteristic from the wise. While they sit deep in thought looking to the distant horizon, they scratch their goatees. I wish someday I can have such a gift.

Movie Everyone should watch: Iron Man 2

http://monsterscifishow.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/poster_ironman-2.jpg
Sup guys! I got a new movie recommendation, Iron Man 2. For those who enjoyed Iron Man, I guarantee you that the second movie stands, if not, surpasses the previous movie's quality/standards. Needless to mention, Robert Downey Jr. had another excellent performance, with that rich playboy her o way of his. He certainly brings the touch the movie needed to become succesfull however, there is another attraction this time... Scarlett Johansson. This very attractive lady brings a lot of attention, maybe only for the male audience, but still, lots of attention.

Well, in this movie Tony Stark ( Robert Downey Jr.) has to mature a bit and welcome help from others, as well as understanding others can harm him. At the beggining his arrogance prevented him from seeing the danger he could get in. Additionally, he has to find another element which can substitute paladium the only element which can keep his "heart battery" functioning; however, what keeps him alive is also killing him. Since he is constantly wearing the Iron Man armor, his blood is getting quite intoxicated with paladium, which in turn is killing him. Thus he must find another resource to keep him alive and at the same time handle powerful vilains and powerful political dogs who are trying to explore his resources. I won't tell more or else the fun will be over, so just watch it and have a good time!

FIFA Wolrd Cup Official Licensed Sticker Album


Finally, the FIFA World Cup album was released! It has been a big hit here in Brazil since 2002, all manufactured under license by PANINI. I personally love the album because I'm a big fan of the World Cup and always enjoy my self watching it. I cheer and cry for Brazil( my nation) while it battles lion-heartedly to bring the World Cup home, as many Brazilians and people from other nations do as well. Football is the most famous sport in the world and its home is Brazil, that is probably why the FIFA World Cup album was a big hit here. The album costs R$3,90 and each envelope( comes with5 stickers) costs R$0,75. At the last World Cup(2006) its gains were estimated around R$ 75,000,000, (10,000,000 envelopes)and were only surpassed by Germany, whihc housed the event.
The reason it makes so much success in my opinion is because of the magic in football. Even those who don't like football are overwhlemed by it during the World Cup and cannot resist watching their nations' match. These phenomenon( if I can call it that way) can occur by two reasons, 1) The person really gets in the mood by the excitement around him, or 2) He/she feels left out since 99% of the people are watching. Thus, I have a theory that the same happens with the album. I saw many people who do not present interest for football, collecting the stickers for their albums. It is a funny thing.

Which is better for Sao Paulo to Rio trips, Car or Plane?

http://media.merchantcircle.com/22971599/car%20and%20plane%20small_medium.jpeg
This weekend I had a bad experience. My family traveled to Rio and we went by Plane. My dad and I wanted to travel by car but my mom hates it, so what could we do, women always win...(unfortunately) Anyways, the expected was that the trip would be faster and less frustrating since plane trips are much faster. The estimated time from Rio to São Paulo, vice versa, by plane varies from 30-45 min, while car trips usualy take 4- 5 hours. However, it turns out we were wrong on our theory. Car trips are less frustrating and faster than plane trips form Rio to São Paulo. First of all, when travelling by car the family decides the time to leave and feels free to change it if needed. In the other hand plane trips have specific times and if you get late you lose the flight wiht no refunds. Secondly, one must arrive onne hour before the flight in the airport to guarantee he/she is on time. There are several things one must do before actaully getting inside the plane( Check in, bag departure,etc), so getting a hour before is quite necessary. Even though every precaution may be taken, it is impossible to avoid airline companies' mistakes. Flights are delayed and departure gates keep changing which can stress even the most devote followers of Ghandi's. To make a long story short, the plane trip back to São Paulo took 5 hours. Now if we knew that we obviously would've come and gone by car and saved a lot of money.

Chatroulette experience



Hey guys! Last week Kevin my self, and Filipe(mickey) decided to check chatroulette out. We figured out that overall it is a very fun experience. However, I strongly suggest anyone willing to check it out to call a friend or two to go with you. The reason that having friends with you is intresting, is that it calls more attention and makes the whole thing more enjoyable. People who are alone just seem more boring and people tend to "next" them. Additionaly, with friends beside you, laughs are guaranteed and you won't feel sad if someone skips you. There are lots of innapropriate content in it, but with friends beside you the shock is quickly releived. Nevertheless, there are lots of good intentioned people, whom one could have good chats with. Our longer talks included Bentley students, a funny american called Eduard, some German, and even Brazilians. Here are some print screens we took: ( Bentley Students) So, chatroulete is a way of chatting worldwide and have a good time. Enjoy!
