What's about to happen is all related to the fact that I'm most certainly going to end up old and alone without having meet someone about whom I can say "Gee, that guy/gal really knew me well.."
All my life I've been labeled as the "quiet guy"...always up in his little world of fantasies, never saying a word to anyone....just a silly little boy that hasn't got a clue of what's what. Because of that, the only "compliment" I manage to squeeze out of members of the opposite sex is "You're a really mysterious person...no one knows what you're thinking!" and then they smile in a way that makes me believe they truly believe they're giving me a good reason to be happy.
Why should I feel good about being mysterious? What exactly do I have to gain from it? Actually, I know how being mysterious strikes some people as being interesting but I honestly fail to grasp what good that brings me...

Being a shy/introverted guy, who would rather tear my own eyes out (sorry about the bloody detail) than to show the slightest hint of emotions, gaining the confidence to openly talk with someone, and let them meet the real me, is something that I can only do after spending some time with that person. But that's the problem! No one, anywhere, has the patience to actually get to know me. It's all talk, talk, talk...The statement "People are drawn to you because of your mysterious nature...they feel the desire to find out more about you!" is nothing more than a bull's-you-know-what.
I can't say I blame them though. I'd probably do the same thing.


Another thing that bothers me a little bit is when someone says I'm always calm and cool about everything, like, completely stress-proof. I'm not good at dealing with stress, at least not better than most people, and I probably worry about the most silly things...What I'm good at, very good at that, is bottling everything deep inside and pretend that everything is OK when it's not. And you've probably guessed...having no one to talk to doesn't make things any easier. But that's my problem and I'll deal with it someday.

So that's why I'm probably going to end up and old-bitter-pessimistic man, alone and forgotten by most people. At least I'll take some solace in knowing the few that do remember me, will have good memories to think about...

This concludes the rant. I hope I haven’t ruined your evening. I'm sure I'll feel better tomorrow. I don't know if it's the splitting headache I have or the cloudy weather we've been having but I'm feeling a bit gloomy right now...
In other news, I'm thing in participation in the Wacom's Bring Your Visions to Life contest. I don't know how I'm supposed to compete with some of the artists here but I'll try to give them some stiff competition :3 I'm a pretty heavy daydreamer so maybe that will give me a head start.
I'm also tryingo to learn the following songs on the guitar:
Sign of the Southern Cross by Black Sabbath (Heaven & Hell) [link]
The Bard's Song in the Forest by Blind Guardian [link]

The reason why I've been too busy to write something down in this journal. I'm quite proud of it though I know it's not the most original piece but


So, my vacations are going well...I've managed to get some things done that I had planed. It seems that the more time you have on your hands you don't have enough of it to do everything you want to do .

I started leaning Cinema 4D and I must say I'm very excited about it. It's incredibly easy to use and the outcomes are amazing.
So, be prepared to be dazzled by my awesome 3D skills soon.

Oh...and it's TOO FRIGINN' HOT! It's always the same this time of the year...And there's always a mosquito bothering me at night. Those little buggers...

It was a bit boring since I spent half of the day at university studying and the other half at home studying some more...only at night did I spent time with my family & friends.

Now I'm just chillin' to some piano music before I go to bed. Speaking of piano, I was asked, by two of my great friends to be the pianist in a music project their putting together. Problem is, although I own a keyboard (a very crappy one), I don't know how to play. The only thing I can play is very simple tunes like the piano solo of Clubbed to Death or the Moonlight sonata.
But maybe this will be a great opportunity to start learning and get serious about it ;D

Usual stuff:
I won't bother you with the usual stuff...yadda yadda, college, yadda, a lot of work, yadda yadda yadda, need to study a lot, yadda....

Juicy events:
Last night, my hometown was the stage of Priest Fest! For those who don't know what it is it was a concert from the Heavy Metal band Judas Priest with Megadeth and Testament as special guest.It...was...awsome! I don't know testament and Megadeth very well but Judas Priest as been my favourite Heavy Metal band for a long time and being able to see them play in Lisbon for the first time as a dream come true.

Weather:
The weather has litelary gone crazy! We're still in witer and temperatures here have already gone up to more than 20ºC! I'm looking forward to a very hot Summer this year.

Other Trivia:
A few words on blood...I had a discussing with some friends of mine about blood types and the rarity of each of them. As I understand, after doing a bit of research, the rarest blood type, in terms of the number of people that have it, is AB negative, but the rarest in terms of shortage in hospitals is O negative. O negative is the type of blood that can basically be given to anyone. That's why people with that kind of blood are called 'Universal Donors'. Here's how it works:

Type A+ can give blood to A+ and AB+ and can receive blood from A+, A-, O+ and O-.
Type A- can give blood to A+, A-, AB+ and AB- and can receive blood from A- and O-.
Type B+ can give blood to B+ and AB+ and can receive blood from B+, B-, O+ and O-.
Type B- can give blood to B+, B-, AB+ and AB- and can receive blood from B- and O-.
Type AB+ can give blood to AB+ only and can receive blood from everyone.
Type AB- can give blood to AB+ and AB- and can receive blood from AB-, A-, B- and O-.
Type O+ can give blood to O+, A+, B+ and AB+ and can receive blood from O+ and O-.
Type O- can give blood to everyone and can receive blood from O- only.

Can you guess what mine is? O-
I got to be careful and ease down in my life of peril and adventure
But I guess this is good news to the people close to me since I'm a fresh supply of blood...

I came across a thread in the Deviants Forum called “Best and Worst Qualities?”. In it I had so say which is my best and my worse quality, which one I’m working to change/acquire and what changes I have already achieved. In it I wrote:

1) My best quality: I trust and forgive easily (quite frankly I dunno if it is a good quality or not ...)
2) My worst quality: I daydream a lot, and I mean a big lot.
3) Currently working on: my shyness and not becoming a more bitter person
4) What I've accomplished: I have no idea

I though I could elaborate each one.

1) It’s true…It’s usually my nature to trust in practically everybody. Why is it a bad thing? Because many people in this world simply don’t deserve one’s trust. Mostly because they take the first change they get to defile that trust. Unfortunately, I’ve experienced first hand what’s like to see other people abusing my trust and I then realize what a mistake I made.
Like trusting, I can forgive someone very easily. I like to think that everything happens for a reason and that behind every action there’s a good explanation.

2) This is actually a complicated issue. I don’t see my daydreaming as a bad quality. That I dream far much than I should is something that other people would say about me. My parents even like to tease me by asking about something that had just happened when they know I wasn’t paying attention.
But I can clearly say that I owe my sanity, or at least part of it, to the wonderful places I go when I drift off.
But it’s a two edged sword situation, actually. I find happiness every time I dream, but later comes the sadness of realizing such dreams can never become my reality. I’ll give you an example: I’m always imagining hypothetical situations in my mind. I do this constantly. It’s like I plan and narrate my own life ahead so that I know exactly what to say and do when the time comes. Alas, that which seamed so easy in my mind turns out to be much harder to accomplish and, frustrated, I see every opportunity pass me by. I like to call it: “The words I’ll never say.”

3) Currently working on my shyness, not much to say about that. I am and probably will always be a shy person. I blame my inadequacy to talk to people to events in my childhood. Because of those events, I can’t be around people without getting an uncontrollable urge to be alone even when I don’t want to. But, hey! It’s life
If I got a candy for each time someone tells me “You should talk more!” I’d be nicknamed Mr. Candy by now. If only they knew that I’d give anything to talk to someone…but who would listen?

Oh, almost forgot about the “…becoming bitter” part. Well, I guess you can understand that all the frustration has to lead to something. And that is me becoming a pessimistic, bitter person. Then again, I probably will never become like that.

4) What I’ve accomplished? Some days, it seams I haven’t accomplished anything. Other days I feel I’ve come a long way from what I was to what I am today. Like, I go out much more than I used to. Even when I know I won’t enjoy myself I still go, because you can’t tell what the future holds I had the pleasure of really enjoying myself many times.

And that is it. Sorry about the long upbeat entry. I’m listening to the blues so maybe it’s starting to get to me. Thanks for reading .
See you around

Today, I saw an interview to one of our best Portuguese contemporary writers António Lobo Antunes and it made me think a lot about how writers, and all artists for that matter, always put a bit of themselves on every one of their works. It begins to have a special meaning that sometimes can only be visible to the artist that created it. It's a way for them to communicate, probably what they cannot put into words. Take me for example. I always had problems talking to people and after 20 years I still haven't found a way to do so. So, I try to find alternate ways to communicate. Whether it is through small acts of kindness, or thought every piece of art I produce, I try to say what I cannot say.

I completely addicted to Within Temptation right now. For those who never heard of them, they're a Dutch symphonic rock band, although many people consider it symphonic metal or even gothic. For those of you that think the metal is only about harsh vocals and heavy riffs, let these guys prove you wrong.
I just love the way they combine the orchestral elements to create something truly epic and surreal. Tomorrow I'm going to buy their new DVD "The Black Symphony"
Feel free to check them out:

Mother Earth -> [link]
Ice Queen -> [link]
Our Farewell -> [link]
Our Solemn Hour -> [link]

In fact, I'm thinking about their song 'Our Farewell' and how I'd like to put at the end credits of a movie script I'm thinking of writing. It’s a very simple drama story. The main character, and narrator, is a teenage boy, in his 19s or 20s that leads a normal but troubled life. The thing is, he can't communicate with other people and that makes him feel alienated and out of place. One day, this boy gets sick and is diagnosed with a cancer. The doctors cannot say for sure if the chemotherapy is going to work or not.
While in the hospital, he meets a girl that also has cancer but, unlike him, she's already terminal. In her, he sees someone that he had never met, a person with whom he could finally share his feelings and troubles. Eventually, the two of them fall in love. That world that meant nothing to the boy finally has a meaning.
However, to much of the boy's grief, the treatment starts working. That new wonderful world he had discovered comes tumbling down for he knows that the girl is going to stay behind and he'll have to return to his old world. He even thinks about taking his own life.
At first, he doesn't tell her because he doesn't want the 'dream' to end. After she finds out she makes him promise that he'll make every effort to keep on living and the boy, in tears, has no option but to promise.
She eventually dies of the cancer and the movie ends with him in front of her tomb and slowly walking away. The end.

The main idea is that hope and happiness can be found even during the darkest of hours. To that boy, his possible death meant nothing to him for he had found, together with that girl, a place that had more meaning, a place where he could finally belong. Even if for a short period of time he felt that he had live life to it's full.

Like I said, I only have the main plot and don't know if I'll be writing it. If you could leave some feedback I'd appreciated it very much.
And this turned out to be a lot longer than I though so I won't take more of your time

Tchau.

I've been thinking that I should give a shot at poetry for a while. It's something I've done in the past (just your average corny love poems) and that I'd like to try again. I don't have anything consistent yet, just ideas, and mostly feelings, which I hope I can put into words.

I arrived from a thrilling week in Zaragoza last Monday. I really enjoy it! We spent most of our time visiting the Expo 2008 but we also had time to see a bit of the city and, of course, spend some time at our apartment’s pool! I'm on vacations after all

Today as been ok, as the song goes. I was out most of the day since my parents and I had to go pick up our new car, a Renault Mégane II Extreme before you ask, and we then stopped at El Corte Ingles to have lunch. Afterwards I went to the movies with my friends. We saw Batman: The Dark Knight which I strongly recommend. If you have time and haven't seen it yet make sure to go see it because it's worth it. Heath Ledger's role in it as Joker is absolutely amazing!

I don't have much planned for this month. I might go spend a week or two at Algarve (south of Portugal) but until then I'll be spending my days at home with nothing to do and feeling lonely ...
Enough sobbing! I'll try to shake off my laziness and have some work done for DeviantArt in the meantime.

Enough about me and my boring life...How are you donin'? Have any exciting plans lined up for the future?

Life wouldn’t be, without a good share of up’s and down’s. You should keep the hardships remembered, always. It’s what brings people together and guarantees a better future. I can honestly say that I’m thankful for every little or big for that matter, obstacles that I had to confront. Sure, some where difficult to cross but I’d be lying if I said they didn’t teach me important lesson that I’ll carry with me as I grow older.

20 years with friends and family

I’ve seen many people come and go these past twenty years. I made many friendships and I’m quite sure I’ve sabotaged many of them…stupidly, I think. I’ve always tried to keep my friends close and yet, I can’t remember the last time I told them how much they mean to me. The same goes to my family, especially my mother and my father. I just hope that someday I’ll find a way to tell them.

20 years as myself

Trying to be yourself is not always as easy as it seems. Constantly trying to live up to the expectations of other people just because you somehow feel that you owe that to them. How you want to be excepted all the time only managing to feel more disconnected and how badly you want to be able to blame others for the loneliness and distance…
Later you realize that you only have to answer to yourself even though taking that first step may seem the most difficult thing to do.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hope you enjoyed my little 20 year old celebration speech I don’t mean to sound moody but I felt I had to write this down as I know I’ll never be able to say this to someone. Life is hard but it is also priceless. Look to the future as a sailor gazes the horizon in hope of finding the slightest trace of a destination. Nothing about the future is certain so you may as well walk step by step, enjoying every moment of it. Carpe Diem! Someone once said
But I truly am 100% grateful for everything that as happened in my life. I hope you feel the same.

I'm now on summer 'vacations'. Not as good as it sounds since I still have exams and I have done nothing in these past few days but study intensively. I did my Contemporary Architectural History exam yesterday and my next one will be Construction Materials, next Saturday.
Yesterday, after the exam I went to the beach with some friends of mine. Had I good time but, stubborn as always, I didn't put much sunscreen on, so my body is not only with this reddish-pinkish color but it aches everywhere as well. Afterwards we went to a Kaffa to see the Portugal-Germany match for the Euro 2008. We lost 2-3 so we're out. We had a good run though.
In July, right after I finish my exams, I'm going to Zaragoza to see the Expo 2008, so expect more updates after I come back.

Till then, I bid you adieu.

Maybe that's just me since I've always had difficulty communicating with people but I wonder if that’s all to it. I don’t intend to be an ungrateful bastard because believe me, I appreciate every moment I spend with my friends an my family and sometimes I find myself doing things with them that I’d never thought I could do. I just hope that they can understand that I can’t help feeling this way from time to time.

I'd like to give this advice to anyone who bothers to read this journal entry: if you find someone that can really understand you...that person will probably be the best friend you can have and you'll never feel lonely as long as you're together.

This actually worries me. We know nothing about the Flans witch means that, and judging by how many people like to eat puddings, they may actually be on their way to becoming an endangered species. Or, we may be destroying their natural habitat without realizing it.
So I say: Get up and spread the word! Fight for the Flans! They've brought us so much joy and it's time we do something nice for them for a change.

I never had a really good tomato. All I wanted was to give a huge bite in a big juicy fresh tomato the size of a coconut, and just let the juice drip along my chin But sadly, tomatoes are no longer what they used to be.

First of all, the AutoLisp test was a lot easier than I had thought. In a scale from 0 to 20 I'm guessing I'll have a solid 18. So...congrats to me XD.
As for future deviations, I still have some photos that I'll eventually submit after I'm done tweaking them. Unfortunately I'll be very busy this week with work. College ain't easy ye know? A lot of work needs to be done and this week alone I have to hand out 3 projects. If I'm happy with the results maybe I'll post them here. In a nutshell, I have to do a storyboard, a written work about Adolf Loos and design a theater for 200 people. If I don't collapse from so much work you'll hear from me soon.
Oh, and I changed my avatar. I was geting pretty sick of the old one. That horrible yellow background was burning my eyes.
Cheers.

I'd ask you to wish me luck but I'm sure not even luck is going to help me.

So, yeah, it's April fools everybody! Which means it's that day of the year where you can go tell someone how much you hate him/her and they won't believe it!
