While a student is taking his English test, I have decided to start my post on this cold damp Friday evening. Last Thursday was holiday in Brazil. It's a day when we remember a historical individual who was chopped off publicly by the Portuguese monarchy back in the 19Th century. His name was Tiradentes. He had envisioned Brazil as a free country, not a colony of Portugal. His ideas derivated from the French Revolution and they ignited a process that years later the entire country embraced.
Well, the holiday is officially over and I am back to teaching. I taught way too many classes for a day past holiday and touching the beginning of a weekend. At least, I am feeling a little less tired than I am usually in regular weeks. Having had Thursday off was a bless. Thanks Tiradentes for having been killed on an April 21st.
I seem to be dwelling and not getting to any point. What am I trying to reach with these words? Is my mind running on lameness today? I guess the answer is 'yes'. However, I haven't had those boring days lately. In fact, it's been the opposite of that. Let's take the Sunday before last as an example. That was a pretty intense day.
Maybe it wouldn't be a great idea to confess what it had happened to me then. Anyhow, I can say that I took the right decision not to argue over that. I took the right decision by not overreacting either. I took the wrong decision to let it happen. And that's all I can say. You may be questioning yourselves: "what is this chick talkin' about?" Well, this is where I was heading. I aim not give any more clues about this fateful event. I will leave it in the air because it was something too personal, too disastrous, too embarrassing, and not worthwhile sharing with everyone else on this spot of the web.
I may be acting in a contradictory standard now. If it is none of everyone else's business, why am I writing about it in here? The answer is quite simple. I have been having a lame day, with lame ideas, and lacking creativity in my words. Sorry readers! Forgive me up front! I will accept speculations about the event because that might spice up this post a bit. Perhaps, that's what I first intended with this entry. So... C'mon... Get started!

Thanks Bulb for helping me out there!!! I thought the same too. And the answer is "N-A-Y"!!!
ReplyDeleteI said that I had decided not to fight over it, not to overreact, etc. Well, I can't say anything else and period!
Hey Kev, you did not offend me there!!! Anyway, I must confess that I had quite understood your words that way!!! Regardless, don't feel bad and there is no need to apologize!!! And, please, sorry if I haven't comment on your text about existentialism yet as you'd asked me to. The thing is that it's been a long time that I don't get my hands in this kind of readings. Therefore, I feel not ready to discuss such subject. I may say that "L'Existentialisme Est Un Humanisme" by Jean-Paul Sartre was the only thing I've read about the issue and it was discussed over a Philosophy and Cinema course back in college in Brazil... Don't mind our misunderstandings sometimes!!!
ReplyDeleteKev,
ReplyDeleteI'd really love if you could continue commenting on my blog.
