The Wanderer

I am celebrating the 5th anniversary of “The Wanderer” birth, a nickname chosen by a lousy blog writer who has had no guts to present himself before the gods with his own name, given by baptism in the name of the father, the son and the holy spirit. Amen!

This blog was born in May/June 2005 (read here the very first post), right before I took [...]

Mockery & Badmouth Ballads…

… because we are descending from Gil Vicente!

Naah, this is not 3rd-world… yet! I guess the politicians in 3rd-world countries like Venezuela are much more oriented to provoking USA than oriented to soap operas performed by TV pivots protected by respective husbands or wives placed in top management positions of TV channels or by spoiled “boys” trying to return back to the front of the [...]

No Idols, No Convenience Shops!!

I remember I really did not like clowns. I still do not. This might have any meaning and surely has had impact on my personality build up, ever since. Today, I still keep in my mind some loosen past images from the time I was a kid and, here and there, was getting into a circus’ tent. I remember I used to spend the time [...]

Family Guy

The Griffin family (Brian, Lois, Peter, Stewie, Chris and Meg) is supposed to be a portrait of a typical American family and Family Guy is an animated television sitcom on Fox Broadcasting Company intended to be another reference to the American culture, whatever that might mean. I am not an unconditional follower but I must confess I get very much amused, normally, when I watch [...]

Is a Picture Worth a Thousand Words?

Yes, it is. Funny is the phrase “Important it’s not how you look, it’s how you are”! Funny or not, the concept just does not fit to actual life style of rich societies, never has and never will. People thinking that way are the ones living on a platform of lyric thoughts, the eternal dreamers, the ugliness carriers, the ones suffering from hyperopia(1) (either ocular [...]

Yep, this is Salvador, Bahia, Brazil and I think it’s very funny to pick up English words and make them sound as-built in Portuguese (BR) language(1). Of course I don’t agree with this and for this same reason the language these indians speak should not be considered Portuguese at all but Brazilian. However, that’s not my point [...]

netRadio Porto: a must !!

There’s only one thing I have to say to the World today even knowing the World don’t give a damn to what I’ve to say to it: if you click here you’ll have access to the best radio in the World over Internet. Well, let me be nice (which in fact I am): those of you who measure music by the number of [...]

Are we there yet ?

Surely not for children if the target it’s to catch all the message. Shrek 2 would be better than Shrek 1 if that one were the 1 and this one were the 2… I explain: it’s always pretty hard to beat the originality, the surprise, the novelty brought by the first being of each kind.

If, however, you think that this couple of movies it’s for [...]
