Why I hate crowded places
Today was the Gay Pride Parade in São Paulo. The city’s most prominent avenue, the Paulista Avenue, was completely taken by about 3,5 million people (according to the people who organized the parade). My girlfriend wanted to see it, and it was on the way home from her granny’s house, so we would have to…

Nothing really new.

Sometimes… I don’t like being me.
Probably I shouldn’t take it so seriously – to be honest, I think I’m being really harsh on myself since yesterday. I almost messed up my girlfriend’s life – she’s on another country and was counting on me to run some errands that would assure her safe stay there. I know why I’m making it…
