darn you sickness!

ok so about 3 days ago i was feeling good and healthy, so i decided to share with my host mom, how excited i was for not getting sick, because normally i am completly prone to sickness and i always get sick when i go to different places. Well turns out i jinxed myself, the next day after eating some lunch i started to feel like i was undergoing quimotheropy! i came home at about 11 o clock after a charity thing, and just lost it. i was freezin cold, i couldnt walk and my throat felt like the mount vesuvius volcano! it was horrific, so i popped in some pain killers and was off to bed. unfotunatly the brazilians drugs dont really work the magic, because i thought i was dying. but i ended up sleeping untill 2 the next day and i only left my room to get a piece of toast. and who knew walking to the bathroom that is only 5 feet away could feel like climbing the wall of china. anyway its been 3 day, i havent left the house once and i feel like chopped liver. and to finish it all off the only thing on tv is the baldwin brothers true hollywood story and dr. phil's thoughts on cougars! ahhhh

feelin good feelin fine!

hello all my favorite north americans! i just thought i would give a quick update of things a happening here in brazil, so its been a month (and some change) and i am feeling super good. i dont know what it is, nothing has changed, still working on friendship whatnots and family bonding but i just feel great all the time, its wiked cool. plus i am having a friendship affair with this kid i met at a party here, who is from here but lives in chicago right now, he is going to M. I. freaking T, and he loves star wars, indiana jones, harry potter and lord of the rings, what a dream right! everyone here makes major fun of me because i like star wars they think i am such a square. its classic. anyway i hope all my ladies had fun at homecoming, as i wishing there i eased the pain with an entire pizza, granite, it was a mini pizza i still inhaled it. i hope everything is famous, i miss each and everyone of you, but i am liking it a lot here and me and my foreign exchange friend alyssa (from connecticut) are planning a costume party for our birthday on october 23. oh yeahhuuh!

here are some update photogs!

my brother just working on his calvin klein future, CAN I GET AN AMEN?

ok so here i was just walking to school, and the walk is rather lenghthy but i never thought i would come across stuch a stud. I looked up and there was this 7 year old chubby kid with his hair well jelled wearing a white robe and a sash with some killer flip flops carring a roller back back behind him. what a hilarious kid!

foreign exchange masterminds!

ok so why is it that the wierdest and most impossible things always happen to the white foreign exchange kids that cant speak the language and are left home while their parents go out to test drive a new bar! are you curious, well heres the skinny.
2 says ago after having some nice hang time with my new friend alyssa, it was 10 o clock and i had to go home. Unfortunatly alyssa parents weren't home so they just left alyssa with the gate key to get out. So when we get to the gate we put natually put the key, but the key doesnt fit, so as we are going for round two and trying the other key, we realize that the devil gate isnt going to open. So of course i was like "alyssa dont worry, i am like a limer, ill just jump it" so i started climbing this 9 foot gate and right as i am about to jump over some insanly loud alarm starts to go off like i just ropped a bank. i quickly jumped back and we made a run for it. after the cops calling and a brawl with a neighbor to get another key i finally got out. long story long, when you want to climb an impossible to climb secured gate, think again!

if you are lost it is only for a little while.

i guess it i am at the blogging point where i rant and share my thoughts on myself and my cituation. onward!
well i am here, its wierd to think i live in brazil right now, for the first time in my life i dont belong to anyone, i am all by myself. i guess i saw things going differently. its really scary to wonder if i will be any different at the end of this thing, if i will even change, or just stay the same with a quick brazilian intrelude in my life. i feel like i might not know exactly what i am looking for right know and if i did i dont if i would want to know , with my new ugly mindset. i don't know i am just very unsure of things right now, and i guess i have to find brazil before i find myself.
i don't want to go home, but i just want to find a new one here, but i am still not quite sure i know how.
i miss my parents a lot, i guess i never realized how much light they have shed on me, and as much as i miss that light i am hoping that i will be able to make it all by myself.
its so crazy to think that there is a whole new set of people to influence and be influenced by here, and i can't wait to take part of all it!

happy birrffffdayyy alecccciaaaa!

happy 18th little tiny prancer, and now that you are 18 you do realize that that means, no more scene it junior, no kids menus but a fabulous handful of sophistication and no more sissying around, you slamin adult, and now your and alice cooper can hang because "your an adult now"!

rotary trip to maragogi!

i have just returned from the 3 day trip i took with all the foreign exchange kids in the north east of brazil. so heres the skinny.

day one

we started out getting on the bus for our 10 hour drive to maragogi beach, i met this kid that just got here and will be going to my school here, his name was david and he was and Austrian dude, unfortunatly he didnt speak portuguese and his english consisted of him always sayin. "oh thas goot, oh thas no goot." i also made friends with 3 canadians and got lots of canadian swag. everytime i talked to them i tryed to get them to say aboot, and sorry, so my first question to all of them was "so whats canada about" and then they would say "well its about...." or i would poke them, and then say sorry so they would be like "oh why are you sourry" but turns out my plan was foiled because they never responded like i hoped 2 of them just thought i was a nervous perv. when we got there i was roomed with completly silent roomates, one girl from germany, canada and finland. except the girl form finland dropped the "f" bomb every 15 seconds. But not to worry she gave me finish chocolate to compensate, which was a beautiful combonation of fluffy joy and joyness. then i got thrown in the beach with my clothes on by the Austrian kid which them spawned a plot for silent revenge. can anyone say "make up when he is sleeping" hah hah! later that night we went for dip in the ocean which i was freaked about, because of the high possibility of coming across andicondas!

canadian and austrian bro shot

turns out in austria their rotary jackets are acutally pimp jackets with a satin interior, all he really needed was a cane to complete the ansamble.

day 2

we woke up went to the beach for some swimmin time then napped for an hour. we then went to a 2 hour meeting where we learned the rules, but im thinkin the craziest exchanger will be the girl from taiwan because she couldnt speak enlglish or portguese. later we were put into teams for some activities, and they made me head captain because i came up with the group name "grfyndor," so everytime we won we could yell 10 points to grfyindor. we then played limbo and i brought the honor to the team due to all my bend. But to end on good terms we left our feelings on the dance floor and danced the night away.

so we prtended to take a picture of alyssa so that we could take a picture of this hilarious man.

i proposed a wrestling match and ended up keeping my championship right where i wanted. i am still undefeated. cant you just smell the victory.
foreign exchange homies

lightning bolt of the gods!

breakfast NOT in america
this little guy was just hangin havin some banana while we were eating, he had friends but they werent really people monkeys

we packed our stuff up and head home, on the way the mexican kid was sad he hadnt succeeded in getting his groove on so he ended up finding redemption by trying to make a baby with my friends hand. yeah freaky deeky dutch. then the austrian kid and the mexican girl started a love connection with eachother. who knew we were ridding on the freakin love bus!
