Back from the dead!

Hello!? Anybody still here?
If you are still checking this blog, thank you for not giving up...


I appologise for being away for so long, without even leaving a note, but real life hijacked me for a while and kept me away from here, from messenger, from e-mails and phonecalls. Not that I did't have the time to do it... more like I didn't have the mind.


As I turned 29 in January, I slightly panicked on realising that I had only one more year to go until I turned 30. I decided it was time to tidy up my life, and the process took me way further than I ever thought it would. As a result I am now single again, working hard on being healthier, more organised, focused, independent.


I am really busy with work at the moment, but I promise I'll come here and post something everyday... it will be quite easy, as I have accumulated so much these past months. I'll even update the whole site one of these days, you'll see...


For now, I'll just leave you with my friend Caroline's new blog times::365. It's a very interesting idea, to start with, but even better executed, so well worth adding to your bookmarks.

about...

meet acacio jeremias
acacio jeremias website

The great visionary Acácio Jeremias finally has a website of his own and it was designed by pap-L. Acácio is a hillarious character (born out of the twisted mind of Diz Que Disse's creator, André Toscano) intent on asking the questions no one has ever though about. While we wait for his book to come out, we can enjoy his video-podcasts (the title and credit sequences were designed by pap-L as well). The first one is just out, and a few more are on the way. So go there and have a laugh! (Sorry, portuguese only...)
