CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to dive into a swimming pool with twelve yellow monkeys, a butterfly on fire and a dinossaur replica as decoration; all this with the sound of Tom Waits and a vegetarian barbecue; come join me!!

ABOUT ME

With modesty: I'm a nice brazilian guy...

Without modesty: I'm really a nice brazilian guy!

Self-propaganda: I'm REALLY a nice brazilian guy! Honestly, I am like Charlie Chaplin: will entertain you with inteligent comedy allied with social consciousness and critic knowledge; I can be whoever you want me to be... if you want Marlon Brando, here I am, if you want De Niro (are you talking to me?) I'm here too; Jesus? Dalai Lama? Freddie Mercury? Che Guevara? Yeah, yeah, I'm here, I just don't like to be Robin Williams, please don't ask me that!

With sincerity: Never know how I'm going to be; a nice guy that will surprise you most of the time... just a little bit crazy, but is really easy to deal.

Currently I'm in Portugal (Coimbra) studying for one semester; then I'm back to São Paulo. At both places I do have a couch!
