Sábado passado fui assistir um show de dança moderna do grupo Alvin Ailey-American Dance Theater. Essa apresentação marcou o aniversário de 50 anos desse grupo incrível de dança moderna. Dirigido pela diretora artística Judith Jamison, o show tem como objetivo principal manter o carismo e tradição envisionado inicialmenente pelo diretor e dançarino Alvin Ailey. O grupo de dançarinos negros mudou todo o conceito e percepção de dança Americana. Incorporando o ritmo africano com música super contaginate e roupas coloridas. Nota 10!
Thanks Dan por ter me convidado!

Prova de Chocolate
Fui convidado por um grupo de pesquiza e opinião do consumidor para uma tarefa dificílima, provar chocolate!
A pesquiza vai de Segunda à Sexta por volta de meia hora cada dia. Hoje foi o primeiro dia. Depois de pedalar 14 minutos cheguei no local marcado. Tivemos 5 provas de chocolate branco. Depois de cada prova tivemos que responder 5 perguntas sobre o chocolate oferecido, escolhendo um número de 1 a 100. As perguntas foram: qual sua opnião sobre a aparência, consistência, sabor e opnião geral. Deixa que todos os chocolates tinham o mesmo formato, ou seja, a questão de aparência levou o mesmo numeral para todos.
Sexta-feira será o último dia de prova e receberemos no mesmo dia o pagamento pelo trabalho (árduo), $225. Agora eu vou pra galera!

Here we are again, a little older and what I like to think, a little wiser.
I went out last night with Kevin, an old volleyball friend who now lives in London where he's studying to get his PHD in graphic design, and a couple other volleyball faces who found out it was my b-day. It was nice to catch up with Kevin and have the entertaining young group. They were all very nice and generous in regards to buying alcohol and trying to get me drunk, but I'm glad I didn't fall for that, though I'm grateful. I'm sure some pictures are being posted right now on facebook and myspace, nothing too revealing which is proof of me being wiser. (smile)
I got a nice email from Eric and he's enjoying Spain a lot -of course. He's overdosing in art and culture while tasting Spanish wine and eating bread and cheese. Is that Paradise or what? He went to Toledo for a day and visited a few castles and mansions turned into cultural centers and galleries. They seem to be everywhere! He also took the train to Leon to see this cathedral with the most famous stained glass work in Spain. He had a great time in Madrid and he enjoyed very much the company of his host Pedro. Thanks to Nedra - very nice of you to connect them.
I was at University Village B&N bookstore yesterday reading a few magazines (for free) when I came across this very interesting and true UTNE Reader article about how major companies and employers are adopting this concept of FUN at the work place and infantilizing their employees with really stupid ideas and games to reward and rescue them from chronic boredom and lack of enthusiasm. They found out through research that generally one quarter of employees (25%) don't give f*ck about their job and just want to collect their paychecks. Also, 40% of all employees spend at least two hours on non-related and unproductive tasks are work on a daily basis, without counting breaks and lunch time. That explains the popularity of the tv show THE OFFICE. So much of it is true! This article was RIGHT ON. You should read it and you'll realize what I have to go through and why I cringe when I hear the work "Team Building".

Acampamento e bicicletas!
As Aventuras ao Norte do Estado de Washington O final semana passado dos dias 22 e 23 de Fevereiro foi bastante divertido. Grande parte por conta da generosidade do André por ter emprestado o carro de Sexta à Domingo. Aqui vai meu obrigado online.
Saímos na Sexta a tardezinha, chegando ao acampamento no Parque Estadual de Bay View por volta das 7 da noite. Armamos a tenda e fizemos fogo para o jantar, salsicha vegetariana com tortilla e vinho tinto.
No Sábado pela manhã andamos pela cidade de Anacortes até pegarmos o barco para ilha de San Juan onde pedalamos mais de 20 milhas entre sítios, fazendas com vista a beira mar. Até vimos baleias para voce ver nossa sorte.
Domingo, acordamos cedo e fomos pedalar mais uma vez por volta do acampamento, por volta de 30 milhas entre trilhas de bicicleta, cidade de La Conner e passeio na orla chamada Padilla Bay . Enquanto pedalando foi possível apreciar a vida rural cercada por forte cheiro característico de bois e vacas, o jeito calmo de ovelhas, e võo das águias e outros passáros. Aqui estão algumas fotos do passeio:
