Yes, it’s true.

I had cool (not amazing) snowboard in Brazil. More, in plain summer (or it’s spring yet?).

The slope is located in Sao Roque, SP, about an hour and half from the Capital Sao Paulo. It’s really fun, but I could only find one summit for begginners. The hardest one was closed, unfortunately.

Try to check out this place if you, like me, don’t have snowboarding as a country’s core.

Iggy Pop at Planeta Terra

This weekend I met the old amazing man Iggy Pop.

I went to a Brazilian music festival named Planeta Terra (Planet Earth) in Sao Paulo. Well, for a long time I didn’t feel what I felt there.

Imagine a place where you can have fun at an amusement park (rollercoaster, elevator, etc). Oh, yeah! The show took place at the Play Center Brazil, a really famous park here.

In fact, I’d say it was some kind of those ‘best shows’ you see in a lifetime, you know? Discovering a strong voice from an old man at his 62s’. Cool! I wanna keep this feeling for a long time.

I gotta say I saw plenty of shows in my life. And almost all the times it’s the same peculiar feeling: a mix of peace and descovering of something completely new. Yes, it is.

In many times you don’t get the sense of what to think or even what to say.
Maybe you’re not clever enough to put things around you as you should. Even so, you’re putting many things there. Every day. What leads to actual conclusions.

Maybe some people will blame you not to be doing somethings they think is right. Sure, it’s not what you meant for that time. It’s not you. It’s not part of the purpose.

I’m only trying to be honest to myself and I’ve been learning to deal with it. Some months ago I was afraid. I was really shaking my chin. But I had to start something new in my life. And so I did. I enrolled in a Master in Marketing at ESPM, one of the best marketing and advertising Universities in the world.

My mind wasn’t wrong and now it keeps telling me ‘hey, man! You’re doing great!’. The fact is that I cannot evaluate my own evolution through these few months since I started, but I can clearly see it completely changed the way things were. Because it’s intense, it’s factual.

Becoming a real marketing professional is pure transformation. Leaving the fact you’re not the same old empty creative advertiser is amazing, since you learned develop the passion you have always managed inside. I’m thankful. Even though it’s not being easy to be this new guy, and also adapting research to company’s reality. In fact, I’m craving to check out how my mind will think within the next few months. I really wanna be someone even bigger. And I hope I don’t have to leave my old torn pants.

I love the music and voice of this gorgeous Brazilian singer.
I hope sometime I could get to know her. Really!
