Here I am, again, just for the sake of being here, posting.
I don't actually take this blog as a diary. My guideline has been to post only relevant events here, but since the posts avalanche from my last travel, I've been sorta feeling the need to always get Dark Pills up-to-date.
Well, there's nothing actually relevant going on. My life's been quite calm, and the routine's been rather respected.
On the other hand, I must say, Uruguaiana is a very depressing place - you simply can't move on here.
The dark eyes are being mentioned everywhere. It's not nice when your friends know way more than they should.
Such memories should be stored on a very deep dead-archive room of my mind, but people - and I, as well - insist on bringing it up again.
As I said on my last post, I do feel healed of any passionate feelings.
But it's part of me analizing over and over again my last actions, to check if I've actually made good moves. Consequently, when old memories are brought up, I can't help but deliriously thinking about every single thing I've said and done (and haven't said and haven't done, as well).
No, I'm not going crazy.
These are just things I've mentioned for the record.

Unknown dark street
There we were, just me and my creeping past.
Going somewhere I can't remember. Walking through a dreadful unknow dark street.
"We'd better walk fast... It's a dangerous place"
I held the safety arm and tried to run, but I was breathless and completely weak.
I felt in complete danger, but immensely comfortable for looking at those deep dark eyes again.
Other eyes, however, were menacingly sparkling among the shadows. We'd soon be under attack.
Can't say what happened next. Dreams are nothing but a whole mix of pure twisting confusion.
A cup of water to help swallowing that.
"I haven't forgotten you yet"
It's all against my will, but I can't help but squeezing tight every single detail I can remember of that dream.
Maybe that could be our last adventure together - a breathtaking dream of mine.
No matter what... I do feel healed, and do feel like I've turned that light off of my life.
And that's just how it oughts to remain.
--
The other fields of my life just keep going.
My new internship is far from exciting, and I still don't actually feel respected there.
Guess it's a question of time till I find my space there.
Despite it all, I'm really enjoying the whole thing... Smells like bubbling, erupting (in a good sense).
I'm eager to learn as much as they can teach me.

Return to anywhere but Oz
Back to my city, not very wished homecoming, however. Not that I don't like Uruguaiana, I really do. I was only having great times at my trip, and one more week definitely wouldn't be bad... Oh, C'mon! Two weeks off were quite enough and pretty fine. I guess that any more than that could pontentially leave me spoiled - and when you have too much of a good thing, all the magic is lost.
Is that an agreement between myself and I? LOL
Nearly disastrous early morning on my first full day, but everything eventually went fine.
I'm still rather sick.
Awaited new activities came by the afternoon, and, well, it all turned out to be quite nice.
No remarkable fact, no nerves, no anxiety... I pretty much think it's maturity growing on me - I'd better never have big expectations on nothing.
Guess I'm gonna have a good time at my new internship.
The following days have been nice, I think.
I feel very useful at PFN, but a bit completely useless at the new internship. Well, I haven't expected to take all possible charges right on the first week, have I? LOL. Luxer says relax.
I'm also getting used to Uruguaiana's rhythm again, and my sickness is almost all-gone by now.
Even the heat has been way less intense... Is the city trying to be a bit more gentle with me?
Hope so.
It's raining today, and I've taken an inevitable rain bath. It's a nice soul-cleaning activity, just not as immensely effective and magic as the ocean, but it's got its catch. =)
The only shame is that I've only been using my free time to retrieve lost sleep or to have useless fun... I've got SO many SERIOUS things to do, and I don't know how to convince myself about this.
Anyway, nice week, after all.
Cheers!

Trip Diaries – Balance sheet
Written Tuesday, January 15th 2007.
Altough I'm still really sick after the yesterday travel back home, I feel like it's just time that I analyzed my whole trip, finishing my trip diaries.
Travelling to Curitiba/BC was simply an attempt to make me feel lighter, free from the everyday pressure of Uruguaiana.
It was AMAZING getting to know the metropolis much deeper, and though not every wish of mine has come true, I feel like having fulfilled my aims.
The cheeto's were ABSURDLY WONDERFUL. They made me feel completely home, and I simply can't thank them enough for everything. I feel like having an enormous debit with them, and I promise I will pay.
BC was a bit different. I didn't feel actually comfortable there, although Tê and Ciro apparently didn't seem to care about me at all – I mean, they seemed to like me there, and didn't seem annoyed by me presence, and that was fantastic. They've been amazing too, and I also can't thank them enough.
These two weeks away home have been full of discoveries and new information. The unknown big cities allowed me to simply chill out and be myself. No shame, no worries.
An entire world opened up right in front of me, and I'm eager to explore every single drop of it.
Going back to Uruguaiana only turned out to be nice after the disastrous bus travel. Being here aside my mother's pessimism ain't just what I've spent my life dreaming of, but it's something, as far as I'm concerned, that I ought to go through for growing and maturing, before I'm actually ready to leave and explore a bigger (and way more exciting) world.
I'm strongly missing Curitiba. But I shall be back. This is my life aim.
Yes, I do feel like having fulfilled my aims. I'm really feeling lighter, happier. I'm not feeling as bad as I was feeling when I embarked on the Cheeto's car all the way to CWB.
I feel nice, I feel relieved, I feel healed.
I guess I'm different now. Ready to live 2008.

Trip Diaries – Final and Dizzy Moves/I’m going sick
Friday, January 11th 2008
Day started off with no pretensions at all… It's so nice to be proved wrong now and then!
Few clicks away, one of the most interesting part of my travel so far…
Free walk to unlimited planned fun. Good afternoon, stranger world.
Yes, I walked through the unknown, deeper undergrounds. This time, however, I was not afraid of anything – I'm almost a foreigner here!
Only one thing to remember: sweat. The heat was intense, but the fire within was even stronger. Everything feeling so wrong, but so right at the same time.
So long since I'd last done all that.
I've seen the forbidden, I've tasted the forbidden.
Weirdly enough, this time I didn't feel dirty, filthy, guilty or ashamed. I went back home with a foolish smile softly drawn on my face. I was, somehow, feeling free – I'd waited long for something like that.
I swore to forget the details... But this is, definitely, one day to remember.
Saturday, January 12th 2008
Another day started off with no pretensions, but this time I was not proved wrong.
I woke up dreaming of diving even deeper on the undergrounds of the big city. I wouldn't, however, go all alone. That's why I simply haven't gone.
Nothing else of this day must be remembered – it's just one more filler day of my life...
Sunday, January 13th 2008
Last day of my travel...
I've actually gone back to the beach today, but I haven't gone underwater... I've just walked on the superficial water.
We've taken few pictures that I'm not really certain about their actual existence – the camera didn't seem to be working...
Stuff packed, last wishes come true, time to go!
The bus seemed comfortable, and I thought I'd make a quite nice trip back – how damn wrong I was.
Few hours later... I was about to die inside that fucking bus. God!
Monday, January 14th 2008
I don't actually know when the day started. I was too sick to have any time perception.
I didn't even see Porto Alegre – what a shame, I love looking at that huge city!
The bus reached my home city when it was about noon. It was fantastic being at home after the last torturing hours locked on that bus.
No one seemed likely to help me, the heat was ABSURDLY intense but... I've survived.
Mamma mia looked as irritating as always, but I know that it's just my wrong way to love her not looking fool or fragile.
I've slept for good portions of the day. It hasn't, however, been enough to help me actually resting.
Gosh, tomorrow I'm having a FULL day, and I simply IGNORE where I'm VOMITING energy from...

Trip Diaries - See ya!/Vol. 2
Tuesday, January 8th 2007
Last full day on Curitiba.
Part of me wanted to leave.
Parted wanted to stay there forever.
The biggest part, however, was the one accepting the fact that I HAD to leave - bus ticket anybody? LOOOOOL
I drove a lot this day. I feel so secure - and so lost!
But I'm really able to find the way to Rose's house now.
My last dinner (for now) on the metropolis was far from the best - not-very-liked relatives - but it's ok.
The night's fallen, my stuff packed... Last goodnight (for now), dear metropolis.
Wednesday, January 9th 2007
Early morning, time to wake up and say bye-bye.
Everything on time, Curitiba slowly disappeared behind more cities and green.
See you later, dear metropolis.
Just a small time after, I was seeing the ocean. How I'd missed it.
And then... My last destination.
Started off, the Vol. 2 of this travel.
BC whole package was there, looking as stunning as always, but a bit different and uncomfortable if compared to Curitiba - I'm kind of spoiled, LOL!
A small walk in the sand at night, and bed. I'm needing to rest!
Thursday, January 10th 2007
Tenth January day. God, it's been (too) fast!
I woke up for a big ride... But, unlike Christina, my body said 'no'.
At afternoon, I decided to finally use all the courage I'd been storing. Beach all alone.
Wave after wave, I desired and felt all the weight on my shoulders, all the shame, all the pain, all the negativity simply washed away.
The endless sea cleaned my soul and renewed my energies, making me feel amazing.
Very nice paraguayan friends, and a huge lot of huge blunders that didn't embarass me at all - come on, I'm more than a thousand KM's away from my city!
Shopping centre at night, and bed =)

Trip diaries – Feels like home
Amazing how few days are enough for you to forget details of your past days – I remember things happening, but I can’t remember the day they happened. That’s sad.
Anyway...
Friday, January 4th 2008
The biggest spotlight of this day goes to me driving across Curitiba without Cleber's company for the first time ever!
Just me and Rose, and I managed to make everything just fine.
I can't actually recall the rest of the day, but I believe we went to a shopping centre – my favourite entertainment at all.
Saturday, January 5th 2008
Waking up at noon, and going out a little time after. I’ve met some wonderful places, and had lots of fun doing mostly anything.
On my head only what a dear friend complained about me: I was needing less security and more adventure. A completely free and uncertain life just isn’t me – but I agreed I was needing to dive into the metropolis monster a (huge) bit deeper...
Sunday, January 6th 2008
Barbecue on my honour! I’ve met a very dear Rose’s friend, and though I was initially a bit scared about her, I happened to love her as we eventually met.
I’ve never felt so close to Cleber. It’s amazing how we can simply chat over and over for hours. He’s kind of the older brother I’ve never had – yes, I do have actual brothers, but they’re much more like friends to me than close relatives, though I actually like them.
We’ve then gone to more stunning places, all of them terrifically amazing.
Beers and beers, I’ve got to feel a bit happier, a bit dizzier and some forbidden thoughts flirted with my mind. I, however, am good at keeping control of myself.
On the other hand, Cleber’s drunk a (huge) bit more than I, so I’ve also got to drive again =)
Curitiba’s feeling like home for me. That’s amazing.
Monday, January 7th 2008
Monday started, weirdly enough, brilliantly – lots of fun at a sophisticated museum.
God, I’m feeling terrible about my body. Just a small bit of walk and I’m breathless. It is time that I stopped blaming it all at my illness: I’m the one to blame.
Anyway, anyway, shopping centre with Cleber at night. He’s great, really – so is Rose. I mean, both Cleber and Rose – tenderly called “The Cheetos” – are being amazing persons. They just seem to do ANYTHING to make me feel pleased and home. I simply ignore what I’ve done to deserve this. But I’m really enjoying it (LOOOL) and IMMENSELY thankful.
Well, that's it for now =)

Trip diaries - the day after
Thursday, January 3rd 2008
A new day of nonstoping walking, but now accompanied by actually trustworthy people .
Rose's been amazing, so has Cleber. They've been saving me from myself all the time.
Curitiba is such a tricky city to walk around. It's uneven and the streets make absolutely no sense. Rose keeps asking me if I know where I am, and I always have NO CLUE - while the apartment is just around the corner.
Night mostly spent on a new shopping centre, a bigger one, perhaps the biggest one on the city. This time Rose and Cleber were with me.
Lots of laughs, lots of funny pictures. Stressing out activity, indeed.
And I eventually got to drive on Curitiba for the first time :D
I managed to do everything just fine. Cleber, however, was SO nervous that I don't know how he managed to keep his external cool - he's definitely a tough guy o/

Life and its marvellous soundtrack
Given the recent events, I was forced to, once again, search for some song I could see my feelings on.
I haven't got any relevant results, but I've actually found one that's really given me some strength after all. It fits well the whole situation, and also helps me giving a brighter view of everything.
It's "The World Still Turns" by Kylie Minogue (inspiring diva of mine?).
Although sounding like just one more uptempo silly pop track, its lyrics are worth the reading (and, why not, the listening).
Here it goes:
The World Still Turns
If there was a chance
To save our broken romance
I'd let it go (actually, I wouldn't, LOL)
'Cos now I know
That life doesn't end
You can start again
All isn't gone
Just carry on
Be your own best firend
It's easy to survive
Now that I finally realise that
The world still turns
The stars still shine
The way they did when you were mine
A broken heartIs a lesson learned
Though we're apart
Baby the world still turns
I couldn't believe
That you were going to leave
Without a care
Heading somewhere elsewhere
Ohh my aching heart
Never thought that we would part
What could I do - my love for you
I was honest from the start
Time takes away the pain
And the sun will shine again, cause
The world still turns
The stars still shine
The way they did when you were mine

Trip Diaries - Lost in the metropolis
Wednesday, January 2nd 2008
Such an important and long-awaited day this one.
My blood pressure was high. Excitement, anxiety.
Every single detail extensively planned.
I was ready.
Steps, steps, buildings, buildings, and there was I.
Purely blue ocean looking at me. I was feeling home.
Hours of nonstoping occasional subjects and walking through the unknown.
Five gifts I had to give. Four taken, the least important ones. It doesn't matter, and it never will.
The fifth gift, my soul, devoted day after day, word after word, whisper after whisper..
Refused.
In the exact same way it has happened before. Fucking déjà vu. It's a nightmare coming all over again.
Months and months simply thrown away. All I can see now is an amount of wasted time.
One more bet lost, one more opportunity lost.
Words thrown to the air, lost in the air.
I just can't be no-one's #1.
I went back home completely lost. The ground was taken away. I felt like falling.
Both accidentally and intentionally I got lost on the big town, on the metropolis.
Wanted to breathe some air, wanted to walk through the unknown.
Eventually I've found the way.
My heart still hasn't.
Now I feel like quitting all this.
I guess I'm better focus on myself. Be my own #1.
I'm not worth all this suffering.
I'm no good boy, I'm no bad boy.
I'm Looh, Luxer, whatever you want to call - My owner.

Trip diaries
By the way, this is as silly and straightforward as every diary.
Sunday, December 30th 2007
I just can't believe the day of my long-awaited trip has come.
Awaiting me were new experiences, new people and... freedom.
The trip went just fine. Rather exhausting, indeed, but a nice smell of expectation in the air.
I was a bit concerned about the just-happened not nice events, but as soon as we entered the car, everything stood outside, and as we drove, it was all left on Uruguaiana.
I even drove a little. I'm a bit more experienced on driving now!
We arrived by 4 a.m., December 31st.
Despite all good reviews about Curitiba, the city seemed rather dark and unwelcoming. I think I needed just a bit of daylight to see things better.
Right to bed, we do need some rest!
Monday, December 31st 2007
From bed to shopping centre!
It was, however, a bit disappointing. Couldn't find what I was looking for, and, before I was done, the shopping closed :)
And then, we were going to what would be the first New Year party far from most of my family (especially Mamma Mia). Nice people, nice place (inside view... outside it was not a very kind place), nice look. Better than any New Yr party I'd ever been.
For me, beginning 2008 in such a metropolis, and so far from my family attachments (in exception of Rose, course) was a perhaps strong luck factor, as well as a life change towards bigger (and better!) venues factor.
Hope so.
Interesting glances at some interesting one. Not important, however.
Anyway, the new year begun with a small lot of fun :)
Tuesday, January 1st 2008
Woke up by noon. New Year Party went till late night =D
My first lunch of the year was nothing but nice... Terrible food =X
But I'm grown boy, and I didn't misbehave :) LOOL
I've also discovered how I'm good with children - I magnetize them close :D
And I sure have a lot of fun with them ^^
I also got to know better some very interesting people, with who I've played (and won right on the first round) Uno, a game I had never played before. Lucky, ain't I?
Well, well... Very funny and fitting start to an year ^^
Welcome, 2008. Be gentle to us!

For me, beginning 2008 in such a metropolis, and so far from my family attachments (in exception of Rose, course) was a perhaps strong luck factor, as well as a life change towards bigger (and better!) venues factor.
Hope so.
Interesting glances at some interesting one. Not important, however.
Anyway, the new year begun with a small lot of fun :)

Woke up by noon. New Year Party went till late night =D
My first lunch of the year was nothing but nice... Terrible food =X
But I'm grown boy, and I didn't misbehave :) LOOL
I've also discovered how I'm good with children - I magnetize them close :D
And I sure have a lot of fun with them ^^
I also got to know better some very interesting people, with who I've played (and won right on the first round) Uno, a game I had never played before. Lucky, ain't I?
Well, well... Very funny and fitting start to an year ^^
Welcome, 2008. Be gentle to us!

ourselves, v. 200.8
January 1st.
Curitiba, PR, Brasil.
2007 is nothing but a bittersweet memory for me now.
I was successful on some things, but completely useless on others. Well, it's normal, isn't it?
I won't, of course, be reflecting about the just finished year. Past is past, and I must kiss it all goodbye.
Should I focus on my wishes for the future then? On this new year...
Professionally, I shall maintain my modus operandi - it's been working, hasn't it?
The more personal fields... The undergrounds... Not planned yet. It feels like a deep dark cloud. I can't see any through, and I've got no long-term plans or expectations.
I definitely feel alive, and I oughtta take all chances I can, before it's too late.
And that's it - I'm not spoiling anything :)
Finally, for you, dear reader, I wish that 2008 brings you nothing but life.
I wish that you live instead of just existing.
A kiss/hug on your very soul.
(I'll do my best to post the trip diaries soon... Look forward for further updates)
