Last week I went to visit my uncle, who lives on a house-boat in the center of Amsterdam... it was great to come back there!
On the other hand, it was too much for me because I didn´t get much sleep and this week have to work and go to german classes.. geeez!

I almost forgot about this blog!

I went to add a comment in Wolfram´s blog, who is currently working in China and it asked me for a google account... then, heeeyyy, I found you again my old friend! :D
It was nice to read some old stuff from when I was going to university or just funny sayings. As a matter of fact, I felt like writing here again. I´ve been writing only on my dream journal lately... but is not shared.

I´m currently living in Hamburg, Germany. Is the third city that I´m living here in Germany... and to be honest the one I like most. However, I´m not sure if I´ll stay here for as long as my visa lasts. I might leave earlier... don´t know if I´m up to stay here for the whole winter time. bleh. Summer in Europe is a lot of fun though and I´m having a great time! To live here is a totally different experience than the last times when I was only traveling around Europe.

My next stop will be Thailand! I´m heading there for a couple of weeks in october... I´ll see how it feels like to be there and if I can see myself living there I will leave Germany earlier than I first planned and move to Thailand... take a thai vegetarian food course or a thai massage one... learn anything from their culture.

who knows where the wind will blow afterwards? africa? oceania?

"what do you want to do tonight, brain?
the same thing we do every night:
try to take over the world!"

bellow are pictures of some amazing places I´ve been on the last years.

Enjoying my holidays...

On 27th street, next to 10th avenue in NYC, Alex Grey has a permanent exhibition. There is his Hall of sacred mirrors, and some of his best artworks. The mirrors are actually paintings at real size showing the human body in different ways. You can find in each of them an image of yourself. It makes you take consciousness of what you are made of and what is your nature. Is the best exhibition I have ever been to.

Pictures are not allowed inside, so here you can see how it looks like before you get in.



These ones were taken last week in Boston. I already miss my mom!

"Singularity"
This is the term that mathematicians give to a point when an equation breaks down and ceases to have any useful meaning. The rules change. Something completely different happens.
A simple example of a singularity occurs if you try to divide a number by zero. If you divide by smaller and smaller numbers, the results will be larger and larger number. But if you divide a number by zero, you get infinity, which is not a number in the everyday sense. The equation has broken down.
The idea that there might be a singularity in human development was first suggested by mathematician Vernon Vinge and subsequently by others, most notably Ray Kurzweil in his book: The singularity is near.

numa dessas idéias revoluciárias aonde você tem que misturar o real e o imaginário, filosofia e ciência... numa dessas teorias que te seduz de uma maneira tão envolvente que te faz sentir borboletas no estômago, entusiasmo, certeza de que é verdade e ao mesmo tempo a impressão de uma doce ilusão... eu me deparei com a "string theory".

mas, pode ficar tranquilo que eu não tenho nenhuma pretensão de explicar sobre o assunto.

o negócio é que, após o magnífico vôo foi difícil voltar à terra firme, dar importância em coisas sem tanta importância assim.

... mas logo você se recorda que a "vida real" também é cheia de charme.

Amanhã vou embora...

"deixo aqui meu coração,
vou sair em plena aurora
deixando fulô no chão.

eis que chega a hora
de partir pra outro chão,
deixa a tristeza de fora
e canto com louvação.

tá caindo fulô
ê, tá caindo fulô
lá no céu
cá na terra
ê, tá caindo fulô"

Parabéns pra mim!
