Introducing myself

After the first post I believe I must introduce myself to let you know who I am, what I like, what I do, what I'd like to do, what I believe or not... and... whatever!

I'm Aderson (just like Anderson, but without the first "n"). Don't be confusing, I'm not Ader's son, in fact I'm Aderson's son, then I'm called Aderson Junior. Now I think you might not forget it.

From my point of view, the name is the second most important thing about you which makes someone remind you. The first one I believe is your appearance. Commonly people look at you first before they know your name, actually some people only will want to know about you "if" you have a good look. It's the "world's appearances". It's your business card, your first shot... and... well... I'm working on the first one yet, so just for now, keep my name only.

I'm Brazilian but nowadays I'm living in Ireland to improve my English. I've arrived in Dublin about 3 months ago and I intend to go back to Brazil in February. I've been studying hard since my arrival and now I'm looking for job (same purpose, English). To be honest, the main purpose of this blog is practicing my written English. It's amount to anything if you can speak and hear English but your written is turned down.

I'm a 27 yrs old guy and now I see how relevant is to live in another country and learn another language. If I knew it before I'd have done it when I was younger, but better now than never. It's nonsense to think the opposite.

Well... you know my name, my age, where I am and why and where I came from.

I suppose it's ok for the beginning. I'm introduced to you now! After that I'll go deeper in details... feelings... emotions... because now I have to do my homework!

My first post

For ages I used to complain and mock about orkut, facebook, twitter, blogs or similar and about people who used to enjoy them as well. I don't know if I was afraid about something that I just didn't know how worked or if I was just scared about changes. In fact I must agree that I'm quite fascinated about the past. Things that I did, songs that I used to listen when I was doing something, small things that I keep which remind me those old times, etc. I'm a nostalgic person. Maybe, up to now, I haven't wanted to live in the present. I think that I was just trying to live again the things that I've lived once. Maybe because it was good, and having this security I hadn't wanted to try new things. The past was good but I wasn't sure about the future.

Just as I used to sing in one of my songs: "while everything passes, everything passes, the things goes passing, and everything changes and the world changes everything every second, and the world changes and everything that has passed also changes, and I'm still stuck".

I was living until now just like that. Stuck! Thinking that everything and everyone changes, except me. Thinking that I was always the last one in the line, the last one to be chosen on a football play with friends. But not now! Not today! Not anymore!

You can ask me: "what happened?"

In fact, I don't have the right answer for that! I just feel it. Maybe the part of my song that says "and the world changes and everything that has passed also changes" was right. Maybe I just have passed, just like everything. Maybe before wasn't my time to change and I had to watch everything changing before my time takes place or maybe I've just accepted the truth. The truth that I must move on, that the world moves on and we must follow it. To where? I have no idea, but I think that there is a reason for it works like that and I've chosen to follow it.

I mean, I'm talking about choice here, we always have a choice. The options are everywhere and I've just chosen to see the options.

PS: Now I have facebook, twitter, orkut and blog. I'm moving on!
