Hello!
Today I was driving, happy since I accomplished some things.
And I kept driving. Listening to a good blues song.
Then I drove down the street, heading to the parking lot.
On the other side of the road, there came a car, driving on his way,
Just leaving the roundabout. Then...
Well, by his side, another car, leaving the roundabout, too.
But, the car was coming towards me, driving right on the wrong way.
And, well, I didn't notice that until some seconds later...
Man! That was really strange, and if I kept my speed, for sure we would crash.
Two cars, coming through the same roundabout, at the same time.
I just don't know where did the other car come from... That was insane!!!
He apologized with a signal and took the correct lane.
Wow! That was strange. And that was real, because agains all the odds,
Some strange things happens all the time!

Sleep
Ok, that is something very real...
I'll just rest a little on the bed upstairs.
...
Well, that was a good half an hour of sleep.
...
But when the night comes, I'm not sleepy.
What's left? To read a book at 3 a.m.
Waiting that my bed make the calling.
And then, sleeping for 3 hours
In order to face the whole week.
Well, let's get into it!

Gig Clothes
Once again about the rock n' roll life
And how the t-shirts I bought once...
(Okay, almost 8 years ago)
And by the time I'd said:
"That's definitely what I'll wear on stage"
And the times went by
And the bands went by
And the gigs were 5
And now this very t-shirt
Is what I wear to sleep.
At least, it has one of my heroes on it
"Eddie Van Halen"
And the other, one of the blues heroes
"Stevie Ray Vaughan"
Thanks for these two to make rock n' roll real.
And even though I wasn't to many gigs
My feelings are real: To Keep Rockin'.
PS: Here's a photo!

Rock star
Being a rock star is a dream
My dream, and many other's dream.
And reality calls one more time.
I always thought how would it be
To be a rock star. Playing my guitar
To thousands of people in a great gig.
So, I went to the band's rehearsal.
Ok, everything I need is here with me.
All I need is to put it in the car...
... that is down 4 floors, at the garage.
... It tooks two trips.
... Now let's drive 20 miles.
... Let's set the gear.
... Let's carry some amps.
... Some guitars.
... Some pedals.
... The drums.
yeah, it sounds great!! Let's rock!!!
It is totally worth it!
And when I think about the rock stars that are there,
Right on the top of the world of music,
I know that they still have to carry their gear.
Well, not a ton of gear. But they do carry it.
And yeah, reality calls me when it comes to be a rock star.
Life is not only about gigs and playing my guitar.
I can't forget that I have to carry my gear, too.
And it is worth, indeed.

Bumping
So, I'm driving this road on my way home.
And I think I am a Pro driving my car.
Well, not so fast, I would say.
By my side, two cars collided...
Just a simple bumping, with scratches.
That reminds me it might happen to anyone,
And even if I can drive well,
I can't control someone else's wheel.
So, that's real... A real remind that
We are not lord of what's gonna happen
Or not happen.

Coffe with Milk
After five days only close to coffee plus powder milk,
There's nothing like a truly coffee with milk!!!

The Martial Arts
Two weeks without training at the dojo.
When I'm finally able to attend a class,
I see it clearly, again...
No matter how I think about the Art
In every moment of my days, or
In every movement I'm doing...
Or how the technique is clear on my mind.
In the first moment I hit the mat
And when I have to move smoothly
Towards my enemy, who is a friend - of course,
I notice that my body has once again
Forgotten everything.
And reality tells me that, to succeed,
I will need more than one class per week.
I need more than the thought, too.
I need the Spirit, the strength,
To do more than I think is enough.
And that's real. The need to keep going!

Rain
For five days without my car, I've been thinking...
What is real?
It is when there's no rain for 3 months, and when your car is at the garage, it rains.
It rains a lot.
And, of course, you don't have your umbrella with you.
So, you wait for the bus. When it's right in front of you. And you wait... and wait... until it finally open the doors.
Well, thinking about it now, it wasn't that bad. But it was real. And yes, I had to wait for its departure time, so I could be safe from the unceasing rain that made it clear: there are times you're just soaked.
