Hi boys and girls. How are you doing? I've had a headache upgarding this blog software to the latest version during the past few days. Aparently everything is working well now, but the comments thing. Some people had difficulties trying to post a comment here. The thing is, this new software has a powerful anti-spam tool, but it seems to be considering some real people as 'spammers' and therefore blocking their comments. So, please post a comment in this post (any comment, even if it's just the word "test") and if it blocks you, let me know what message you got from the blog (email me here: nandorj78 at gmail.com). This will help me to confugre the anti-spam tool a lil bit better.

Thank you!

Long time no see you guys, right? Nothing much happening here as usual. Still strongly currently avoiding unecessary social interaction, but somehow I managed to meet nice new people.


Somehow I also manged to start getting into the music world once again. This new friends I met are either musicians or work with/for musicians. There's also a raw plan for starting a band, but just for fun only. Just covering classic stuff to play in pubs and stuff like that. Any ideas for band names? Send them over!


Besides that I'm still swimming three times (sometimes 4) a week and trying my best to work out at the gym from Monday to Friday.


Oh, I already have a plane ticket scheduled for December 18. I'm going to visit my father and see my brothers. I miss my sister and the little guys terribly and I hope to stay there for at least 2 weeks.

A few posts ago I wrote about how astonished I was because Roy Z remembered me and he even remembered my name one year after we met for the first time. So after that day, Roy left town with my mate Tribuzy and they went to the south of the country for a week, where Roy would do a series of workshops and guest appearences.


Well, last Wednesday was time for me to be even more astonished again. I got an email from Roy, saying that he was in town and he would like to hook up somewhere. Everything happened too fast, and not after very long my mate Tribuzy was in my car and I was on my way to pick Roy at the hotel. We took him to the Christ Statue, then we took him to a great restaurant where we ate till we couldn't see anymore food in front of us. After that we took Roy to a local rock gig and after that we went to Lapa, a neighbourhood from Rio where the samba was born and we stayed there till early in the morning. I had loads of fun, the people who were with us too, but I can easily say that the person who had more fun was definetely Roy.


Last Friday I also went out with them again. This time we had dinner at a very cool pizza place, really far away. I told Roy: "Man, you chose a place right in the middle of nowhere!". After dinner we went to the beach and we stayed at a Kiosk just talking and drinking till early in the morning again. I laughed so much that couldn't avoid crying, my jaw ached as well as my belly! hehehe


As we said goodbye to eachother he offered me his place whenever I'm in L.A. "Just give me a call", he said.


It's really cool to have shared these special and unforgetable moments with such a nice, simple guy like him. Now he must be in São Paulo and he will head back to L.A. tomorrow at night.


Till next year (probably) Roy!
