ABOUT ME

me? :D

"eu não sou eu, nem sou o outro, sou qualquer coisa de intermédio..."
by Mário de Sá-Carneiro

(free translation - "I'm not me, neither the other, I'm something in between")

PHILOSOPHY

sorry, once again in portuguese:

"A vida é bela, a malta é que dá cabo dela!"
by Marina Garcia (myself) :)

(I can't make it rhyme in English, so it won't be funny if I translate it :P)
