It's over!!


It’s over! No more FEUNL for me!!! After 4 years, I finally got my Undergraduate Degree. From now on you can call me Dr. Limpa Vias ahahah! It may seem like a common thing nowadays, but seriously, it means a lot to me. The first one in the whole family with a degree... Hurray!

The great transfer...


I'm sure Engenheiro (is he?) Sócrates, our Prime Minister, is really pleased with all this Ronaldo and Real Madrid thing.
45 minutes of each TV Newscast are dedicated to the biggest transfer ever in the Football business. Who cares if Partido Socialista lost in the European elections, Ronaldo is going to play for Real Madrid, and that, along with his case with Paris Hilton, is all that matters. Crisis? What crisis?

Sócrates is probably thinking "At last, some peace for me..."

Never Fail

Yesterday I got the chance of watching a band in the studio recording its first demo. I just couldn’t be more amazed with what I saw. I went to bed thinking “man I wish I had a band!!”. I’ve always loved music, but until yesterday I had never had the opportunity to really see how things are done.

When my friend PZ from the band first invited me to help them out with the group vocals, I had no idea of what it was going to be like. By the time I got there the drums were already recorded, and they were now entering in the guitars stage. I ended up watching the whole recording of the guitars, the bass, the voice, and I even got the chance to participate in the group vocals! How cool is that!!?


But what really amazed me was the whole feeling inside the studio. First of all it was such an amazing place! When I first saw it from the outside my impression wasn’t too good, but then, when I entered the studio I just couldn’t believe the great conditions that were being provided to the band. Then, I never thought that it could be so much fun to record some tracks! Although the members of the band have to be serious and even work hard while recording, they do it with an unbelievable pleasure! From the beginning up until the end, everything went smoothly with lots of laughs among the people who were there, always with the “Thug Monster” (a kind of a special guest) taking the fun to another level, and still, demonstrating that he also knows about this recording stuff by providing good opinions to improve the recorded tracks. The other good thing about watching these guys recording is that I left the place already knowing their tracks from listening to them so many times in the studio ahahah!

I really gotta thank my friend PZ who gave me the chance to experience such a great night!
Oh and by the way, the band is called Never Fail. It is a brand new project from a group of guys that has been around in the Hardcore scene for some years now. If you’re up to some old school shit, I’m sure you’re gonna dig this!

Check out their Myspace, they'll probably upload the tracks soon.

New Header

First of all I must apologize for not posting for almost 2 weeks now. It has been 2 long weeks for me, with a lot of academic stuff to do, and sometimes too much pressure to handle. I’ll try to keep posting on a more regular basis from now on.

As you may notice “O Limpa Vias” got a new header! A kind of way to make me remember that I have a blog to update, and also to make this small space look a little bit fancier!
Special thanks to my friend Ema from Walk the Walk who designed the header, inspired by the truly magic cleaning product “Cilit Bang” ahahah!
