And Brazil is tagged as the dangerous country... Humm...

Hi folks!

A little over a year after being victim of a robery attempt, the criminals stike again! It's funny that I have to leave my country (a dangerous and criminally dense country) and come to "the developed world" (where they put 5 cars to arrest a naked man) to be robbed. God definetly has sense of humour!

So what happened, you must be thinking...
Put in this way: I'm writting this text from a different keyboard and reading it in a different screen. Yes, my computer was stolen! And so my camera. And my flatmate iPod, watches, glasses...

Someone broke into our house on Monday during the day while we were working. We strongly suspect that the person/people got into the house through a window, as some were a bit open and the could have sneaked their hands in and opened enough to get into the house (it's a level unit). Strange thing is that nothing was forced and the police couldn't find ANY trace of someone passing through any of the windows. And they've said that if someone had passed through it, they would be able to see it. So we don't know how the hell they got into and stole the things!

Another very strange thing is that nothing was revolved or out of place. NOTHING! Even the drawers that they've opened to steal the watches were closed and everything was tidy... Maybe the thieves here in Ausie land are more polited... hehe!

Well, I think that's it for tonight folks. My brand new baby is gone. It was THE laptop, with abosolutely everything I wanted, in the way I wanted.
I think that was a sign: stop wasting your time in front of the computer and go find some women, you idiot!!

For now I'll use the company one... :-p

Cheers,

Hollywood is right! (at least in this one)

Hi folks!

As I do not expect anyone to be reading this blog (I myself had forgotten the web address...), I will just dump some reflections on this space when I feel like.

First to start is a "silly" one.
Do you recall the Hollywood movies when the police is pursuing or arresting someone it looks like all the cops in the world are together tu pursue one guy!?
Yes my friends, I think that is true in the "First World"... For anything, absolutelly anything there always seems to be a disproportionally high (in my mindset) number of police man and/or ambulances.

Two examples from this week:
- I was walking back from the supermarket in the evening and in the corner of my street there were 4 (FOUR) ambulances stopped with their sirens on and everything. And I couldn't see absolutelly any reason for that other than someone having a small health problem at home (why the extra 3!?).

- But the best was last Tuesday. Cycling back from work in the evening I see the rooflights on the distance and imagine that the police is targeting something on the main road (speed, drinking, etc). I get closer and see that there are FIVE big police cars (the ones with a cage on the back) stopped by the side of the road bordering Centenial Park. And guess for what!? 5 very dangerous murderes that are escaping? Thieves trying to hide in the park? NO!!
All of that was because a man decide to free himself and enjoy the hot summer nights in the park without clothes.
You've got it right. The ONLY thing was a naked man (needless to say that he wasn't armed, right!?) on the park.


Why do we have all this down here in Australia? That's a good reflection, and may well be my next post (or not!).
