About Me

Well Ive been living in Brazil for just over two years. I am foolhardy and I party like a rock star so that leads me into various semi or very dangerous situations on a regular basis. I am writing a book about those very situations along with my observations about life in brazil, life as an english teacher in a foreign country and my endless search for fast women and a good time. I read alot, I write alot (these days), I like to eat, smoke grass, watch movies and whatever else you got. YOu should READ MY BLOG to get an idea about what life is like here in the ghetto in Beautifull Rio De Janeiro. Also this will give you an idea of what my book is about and why it is destined to compete with the Bible in total sales. By the way the folks at Medium Rare Publishing will be publishing my book. Check out their sight.www.mediumrarepub.com Read the book when its done. And have a pleasant day.

My Interests

History, Portuguese, booty(as in the posterior of a woman and also in the pirate sense).

The girl from Ipanema and the woman with three breasts from the movie Total Recal

Music:

Hip Hop, everything else.

Movies:

All of em. Cool Hand Luke, Aliens, The Dirty Dozen, The Usual Suspects, Braveheart (ok sarah?), Cidade De Deus, Carandiru, Charlots Web, The Silence of The Lambs, Akira ...

Television:

Well I dont watch much. Since I live in Brazil my options are pretty much variety shows, soap operas and football(soccer) matches.

Books:

Anything by PJ Orourke I will generally find amusing, The Razors Edge, The Grapes of Wrath, Of Mice and Men, Cannery Row, The Winter of Our Discontent, a good comic book now and then.
