Have to write, can't write

here i am, i have to write this stupid thesis for my uni. i've been worring about this for months, and now that i have only 2 days to deliver it, can’t get around to write anything more, i only need to write a couple of pages more, but nothing comes out, which making me more nervous as the time pass by.

So much to do, so little time

This picture couldn't ilustrate more my feelings at the moment. Argh, i've been writting like a crazy person these days, and i'm still not close to finishing this everlasting paper for uni.
Argh.

When i read this i decided to try to incorporate these things in my day-to-day life, little things that at the end of the day can make alot of difference.

Olympus Trip 35

I have this camera, and really want to start using it more now! i just realized how much i like to see and touch the pictures i take.

Venice Beach Rock Festival 1968

I love this picture, to me it was always
a mistery cause when i'd seen it
for the first time there were no descriptions.
But a couple of months before i was scrolling down on tumblr and then there it was.

Ashamedly I Must Admit, I Can´t Draw

As a little girl i was convinced that i could draw believing my teacher's compliments and incentives. but as i grew older, i realized, no matter what other people say, i just can't draw.

For some people is easy, just take up a pencil and any piece of paper and it's all it takes to make an art piece.

But since i realised i'm not a natural i'm determined to learn, so i've been coping some other peoples drawing's like a little child learning calligraphy copying the outlines of the drawings.

I even bought a notebook specialy to fill to with my pseudo-drwaings.

I made some progress must admit, but i'm still hoping for it to become a more 'natural' thing, instead of only drawing the things i learnt before.

I'm 50-50 About This

So in exactly 6 days is my birthday. I don't know if I should be happy or just really allow myself to be sad. I got mixed feelings about it.

I’ve never been much of a person to draw attention to myself, never wanted big parties with fancy dresses, the regular birthday consists of me going out with my family and closest friends (unfortunately, they are not many believe me) to a restaurant near by my house and just have a meal together come back home and sleep, which i love to be honest.

Not very eventful as you can see .In a way I’m happy to get one year older (happy I made it alive for one thing!) , I learned a lot, listened/sang some good songs, watched some great movies, and spent time with people I love.

But in the other hand it feels like i haven't accomplished much in my 23 years of life, when I read other people biographies or see some people that are professionally and emotionally successful at this age, it gives me the feeling that something else is missing.

And the exiting thing about it, is trying to find out what. Or is it?

So Many Books So Little Time

As a child I always loved reading (alright i used to read comics, but still) and as i grew older,

my love for books grew as well.

I know is very cliché to say that I love most of Jane Austin books especially

Pride And Prejudice, i bought the English copy when I was living in England

and feel in love even more with the language and the writing.

I like classics. I always need help when choosing more contemporary books,

i never know what to buy, I don't know most of the new writers,

so it turns something as pleasant as book shopping into a chaos of doubt.

The last book I read is called Dylan On Dylan, and my mum gave me a new book,

so I say why not? I’ll read it. The thing I didn't know was that the book is the first of a 13 book saga....yes 13.I'm not complaining I’m loving the books, it's just that I keep staring at the shelf where the books i queue jumped are glaring at me with revolt.

Well I guess they'll have to wait, just a bit.

Expectations never meet reality

Yes, i must admit, it's one of my many faults, i expect too much, about everything and everyone. it's not that i'm one of those control freak kinda people, but i always think that the littlest things are going to turn out to be amazing...and in the end, it doesn't.

This condition is really painful, cause it implies that you are never content with what life throw your way, or with reality for that matter, allows it to be.

But what is the solution to this then? expect always the worse? always think that things are going to turn out to be shit ? maybe that is more keen to reality then imagining that the world will conspire with your desires.

Expectations never meet reality.

Hello world I'm a girl

I came across this whilst checking my tumblr, i have no ideia who actually wrote this, but i just know i loved it..... yeah beeing a girl is not easy sometimes.

"Hello world, I’m a girl, I have feelings, I overreact, I underestimate, I overestimate, I over think everything, I look too deep into everythings meaning, I dream big, my expectations are high, I can tell when I’m being lied to but sometimes I wish I didn’t.

Yes I get jealous, and I’m always scared I’ll lose you. Thats why when I ask how you are I mean it, when I ask how was your day, I genuinely want to know, and when I say I love you, I’m not lying.

Because I wish on every 11:11, and pray to God that all the signs I’m seeing aren’t being misread. Hello world, I’m a girl, and thats not easy."

Dylan On Dylan

I've been trying to find a good book to read these days, not that i'm bored with reading the twiligh saga (believe me i've read those four books about a 1000 times and i still love them). I'm a fan of the classics, Jane Austin, Charllote and Emily Bronte, Oscar Wild and so on but i wanted to read something new, fresh, a real story.

I've been painting my room for the past couple of days and as i had to move most of my stuff around i've been finding alot of things i've forgotten i had.

I found this book i boutgh back in England last year, called ''Dylan On Dylan" and decided to give it a shot. the book is a gathering of some of the interviews he's given since 1962.

I've been learning some much from reading them, it's helping me to understand him as an artist and as a person, and i can see how he has never been afraid of showing who he really is, taking risks and staying true to himself.

There are some amazing quotes in this book, and i'm going to post some of them from time to time. reading about someone who have a life like his inspire me to do the best i can in every aspect of my life, and personally i think we all should have some Bob Dylan in us.

"All Ican do is be me, whoever that is" Bob Dylan

Viva La Vida

I went to Coldplay's gig last night, i live in Rio de Janeiro and here rarely rains and it's never cold, well last night wasn't a typical Rio de janeiro's evening, it rainned alot, and it was cold and windy.... how can i describe it...humm... like an english summer weather!

i felt like i was in glasto, minus the mud and all the amazing bands playing, tonight it was Coldplay's night.

Don't get me wrong i'm not complaining, i miss the english weather ( yes i know i'm crazy) so it felt alittle bit like home to me.

The concert it self was amazing, i had forgoten how much i love coldplay.

Chris Martin's voice, energy, musician skills and lyrics are just too good to be true, actually all the band were sounding like perfection.

Moments i know i'm never going to forget, i don't know if it's just with me, but when i go to a concert i'm 100% there, i want to absorb every emotion, every word, every note, and it moves me so much even to tears like last night (i know really embarrassing) but what can i say, i really love music!

I read somewhere that people that wacthed them in Argentina were flying to Rio to see them again.

i thought it was abit silly to fly all that and i also thought that they maybe too rich to see how much money they are spending .....but still.... after wacthing their gig.... i got to confess...i would do the exact same thing.
