Shadows in my dream

I was sleeping the first time
That I saw the Shadows.
The night was quiet
But the beat of my heart was loud

The shadows were coming for me
Swallowing my face
I woke up with my mother's arms
Holding me strong as she could
She said: "It's just a dream, my little boy"

But unfortunately,
Some years after that night
The Shadows would appear not only in my dreams

***
Post Scriptum

This poetry was made after I play the solo game called Shadows upon Lassadar designed by Todd Sanders. You can know more about game here.

Why the brazilians don't write?


Hello

I read in an interview few days ago that brazilian people do not participate in forums on internet, they just acess the websites and read the info, but do not write about with they personal opnion.
Unfortunately, I had to agree with that, I never found a brazilian in forums or in foreign blogs. Even though follow many brazilians blogs I know few ones that write in english. Its a little strange because if you see in blogger profile and search for any blog by a theme and you will find many blogs about any themes in english.

Some people says that in Brazil have few options to speak and write english and this make the teach and learn process a bit difficult. But I guess that the worst things is that brazilians do not want to make this different and make opportunities like this blog to have an extra contact with english.

Perhaps they have a kind of afraid about write in a foreign language and make some mistakes, but as you can see, I already did some and still writing here and still have people visting me. The same occurs in my first words (link) there you see portugueses mistakes but I keep writing in improving my skills in both langueges.

Therefore, I invite you to comment or do better, write something in english and send me by email and I'll publish here.

Let's do it folks!

Postcard Exchange



Hello folks.

One of my hobbys is games. I like so much play by myself or with a great group of friends and I think that games have more than fun and entertainment, they give to us best moments with friends. So, about games I usually play board games. here in Brazil we have a famous board game called War that I always play with my game group, but we also like to play foreign games like Citadels, Cthulinária (a re-design of Cthul-B-Que) and other games.

I'm a user of two board game forum. The first is Ilha do Tabuleiro a brazilian forum and the second is BoardGameGeek. In this second one I joined in a postcard exchange to share postcards around the world. I received two and had to sent two to other users from the BGG forum. This ideia its awesome, I love other cultures, know about other countrys and put my hands in a thing that travel across the world its fantastic.

So I share with you a picture of post card from Jonh Michael and Krist both from USA. Hugs and peaces for you two.
Ah, before I forget, this picture below is the postcards that I designed for my friends. It is hidden, I know, but they deserve a surprise.
