So this year I had the privilege of making my mandatory Gay Pride Parade post at Rachel's amazing blog, Riogringa.com.

Rachel is a New Yorker who started blogging on her impressions of her experience here in Brazil, where she lived for a couple of years. I've started reading her blog after christycorr referenced it somewhere, and have since become a huge fan. Funnily enough I didn't get to meet her in person while she was still in Rio, but only after she moved back to New York, and I myself was there. Her insights on Brazilian culture, politics and history are particularly impressive, and her comparisons with the "American Dream" lifestyle are an eye-opener, and often pretty amusing (though sometimes it gets me a little more worried about Brazil than I usually am).

So check out my guest post here! Hope y'all enjoy it. *grins*

ETA: On a completely unrelated note, I have two new invite codes for Dreamwidth! Anyone interested please raise your hand in comments.

As I read skilfully written blogs on the internet about the day-to-day of some people I can't help but thinking that if only my life was more interesting I could be a great blogger.

Another plan would be to start paying more attention to amusing things that happen to me and learn how to tell the story properly.

Or I could just move to New York. Sometimes it seems like everybody that moves to New York has to blog about their experiences in the Big Apple.

I feel like writing my fingers numb lately. All I need is patience a subject.
