feeling down, notes
Hi.
Sometimes that down feeling dominates me. On any given day I just wake up sad and all.
I wonder how it happens... Man, just out of the blue!
I was feeling pretty damn fine the last minute I went to bed and I manage to wake up all weird and down.
Can't recall of a bad dream I had or anything that could make me feel different.
How is it possible? It's a little odd to think of it as natural. I tend to change my mood for no reason?
What the heck? I hope things progress fine during the day (I'm going to the movies with my girlfriend tonight. We'll be watching "
300").
Listening to The Fray - 'How to Save a Life' (on repeat mode)Thanks for reading,

life, changes, meditation, notes
...
Hi.
I'm feeling okay! My new job is nice, and I'm still half-way to getting back to the "marketing-way-of-thinking" rhythm. I'll get there, anyway!
Isn't it odd how the change of a simple number in our calendars opens a whole new world of opportunities and good vibrations? We leave all the bad things behind, try to carry most of the good ones with us, and pay attention to the new opportunities that may cross our path.
I can realize I'm getting more and more spiritual, and even more than that, I'm trying to find my real self. Yeah, it may sound too philosophical, but there's no other words to describe it. This quest seems to be endless, but I'm sure it's not. What makes it great is that each and everyday we can find some true gems about ourselves. Some of the gems make us feel better, others make us blush, and this lack of pattern is the best part of the journey. It's time to broaden the mind, to understand... to see.
As almost everyone in the globe knows, Brazil's carnival holidays are about to knock on the door, and I'm planning on leaving the city and hide myself in the woods for 2-4 days. Meditation, contemplation, waterfalls, book reading, pond swimming and inner-looking may be the activities of the trip. Still trying to find the right place though.
Thanks for reading,

changes, notes, writing
Hi.Not feeling so well today.
No worries though. I'm sure tomorrow I'll wake up all brightened again!
Things happen this way. Today you're not that good, tomorrow you're better. And, obviously you'll be down again.
Once we accept these conditions, and become aware of our reality, things get brighter.
When I'm down I feel like writing (it does not mean I write about sad things only when down). And I do, here I am. As I'm in the mood, I'll try to comment on some of my friends' posts. I know, there are many out there, and I'll try to cover a good area.
Anyways, hope things get better really. I'm working a lot, getting some money out of it, buying myself some cool gadgets (more to be written about it in the future), but I feel I'm losing some precious time with family, friends and myself.
Anyways, that's the way life is to be lead on. Trying to balance ourselves, always.
Thanks for reading (my ramblings),
Danps.: you should catch up on
Cape's posts. They rock. She rocks.

Hi.
"Notes from the Underground" is a very nice and well written book by Fyodor Dostoevsky. You can read it by downloading the PDF file attached to this post.
Once you read it, you'll know why I chose this title for the posts regarding to my daily feelings.
I'll not be analytical (well, sometimes) regards to my life, I'll just try to write exactly what I feel. It'll not be supposed to make sense, at all. Sorry about that.
Well,
I'm doing okay today. Actually I've been cool lately. That's a good thing.
Today especially, I'm doing more than okay... Don't really have a reason to pinpoint, maybe 'cause I'm feeling good because of a conjuncture of factors. Whatever... Good stuff happening: new perspectives regarding to professional life (new job coming up...), old friends getting back to the Opera community, new love coming up (yeah, let's wait a little bit longer to talk about it), holidays are getting close, I'm probably going to the beach with some friends (oh boy, it's been 5 years since last time I saw the sea).
Finally I'll try to make my journal more like a journal than a blog. I'll still post about things I find interesting on the web (as I like to do so), and I'll also have some posts regards to my life (yes, I know I do already, but now I'm gonna do it more often).
Some of the posts will be private, others for friends only, others in Portuguese (never done that before, don't know why).
Anyways, let's see what happens... Let's not create expectations, 'cause they will only lead us to illusions.
Thanks for reading,
