Wordpress Update

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

It’s incredible the time you can spend using a tool such as WordPress, and not value it. Since I’ve been learning it a bit deeper, I’ve found new and exciting projects. Well, my iniciative may have also something to do with it. The thing is, WordPress is a blessing for many many sites. I’m making full use of it, and learning php on the way. I won’t event tell you the WP version I had on my site, but all is ok now (of course, after some uploading and upgrading stresses).

Passar pela vida?

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

Podemos fazer as coisas na vida de uma de duas maneiras. Ou passamos toda a vida a querer a vida que não levamos. Ou levamos a vida toda a passar pela vida que queremos. São tudo escolhas“.

I’m your man

Friday, November 23rd, 2007

If you want a lover
I’ll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
I’ll wear a mask for you
If you want a partner
Take my hand
Or if you want to strike me down in anger
Here I stand
I’m your man

If you want a boxer
I will step into the ring for you
And if you want a doctor
I’ll examine every inch of you
If you want a driver
Climb inside
Or if you want to take me for a ride
You know you can
I’m your man

Ah, the moon’s too bright
The chain’s too tight
The beast won’t go to sleep
I’ve been running through these promises to you
That I made and I could not keep
Ah but a man never got a woman back
Not by begging on his knees
Or I’d crawl to you baby
And I’d fall at your feet
And I’d howl at your beauty
Like a dog in heat
And I’d claw at your heart
And I’d tear at your sheet
I’d say please, please
Im your man

And if you’ve got to sleep
A moment on the road
I will steer for you
And if you want to work the street alone
I’ll disappear for you
If you want a father for your child
Or only want to walk with me a while
Across the sand
I’m your man

If you want a lover
I’ll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
I’ll wear a mask for you

FreeRice logo
-It’s nice to do good
- It’s fun
- Very well built site, usability and interaction wise
- You get to help, and learn

Go learn!

“FreeRice is a sister site of the world poverty site, Poverty.com.
FreeRice has two goals:
1. Provide English vocabulary to everyone for free.
2. Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.
This is made possible by the sponsors who advertise on this site.
Whether you are CEO of a large corporation or a street child in a poor country, improving your vocabulary can improve your life. It is a great investment in yourself.

Perhaps even greater is the investment your donated rice makes in hungry human beings, enabling them to function and be productive. Somewhere in the world, a person is eating rice that you helped provide. Thank you”.
