MY IDOL

My name is Allan and my idol is my father. He is my idol because he is rather honest, hardworking and, of course, he roots for Corinthians.
My father and I have been to the stadium to watch the Corinthians matches since I was four years old. This is one of my idol’s hobbies. The other thing he really likes is watching motor racing. He also appreciates listening to jazz music, but what he is crazy about is playing basketball! He has played it since he was a child. He would like to play besides two idols, having bread made of mixed flour, Jordan and Oscar. What a dream!
This is my idol, my FATHER!

Anahí Giovanna Puente Portilla

My idol is my favorite singer Anahí Giovanna Puente Portilla of RBD. She was born in Mexico 23 years ago. She likes dogs and has one. Her boyfriend is Affonso Herrera of the same band she takes part in.

She likes Brazil and our soccer player Ronaldo. Her eyes are blue and she has brown hair, but she had her hair dyed blond. She started on TV in an advertisement when she was five. Today she works in “Rebelde” and RBD.

RBD has six singers: Dulce Maria, Christian Chavéz, Christopher Ackerman, Affonso Herrera and Anahí Portilla. RBD has come to Brazil twice. When they came to Brazil for the first time last February, there was a tragedy: two fans died and the band was really miserable. On the second time they gigged the show here, in October, I had the opportunity to go. It was perfect!

What I like most about the band is their style, their lyrics and the singer Anahí.

Ronaldinho Gaúcho

My favorite celebrity is Ronaldinho Gaúcho, because he is a big and famous soccer player.
Ronaldinho is twenty-six years old and he’s from Brazil, Rio Grande do Sul. He started playing soccer when he was three years old.
He is a great player who used to be a humble person. In spite of defeats, he believed that he could become successful.
Nowadays he helps poor people. In my opinion, Ronaldinho is the best soccer player in the world.
For these reasons and other ones, he’s my favorite celebrity.

"Casa de Bamba"

Na minha casa todo mundo é bamba

todo mundo bebe todo mundo samba

minha casa não tem bola pra vizinha

não se fala do alheio, nem se liga pra Candinha

Na minha casa ninguém liga pra intriga

todo mundo xinga, todo mundo briga

Macumba lá na minha casa

tem galinha preta, azeite de dendê

mas ladainha lá na minha

casa tem reza bonitinha e canjiquinha pra comer

Se tem alguém aflito

todo mundo chora,

todo mundo sofremas logo se reza pra são

Benedito

pra nossa senhora e pra santo Onofre

mas se tem alguém cantando

todo mundo canta, todo mundo dança

todo mundo samba e ninguém se cansa

pois a minha casa é casa de bamba

Lyrics:
Apesar De Você

Hoje você é quem manda
Falou, tá falado.
Não tem discussão
A minha gente hoje anda
Falando de lado
E olhando pro chão, viu
Você que inventou esse estado
E inventou de inventar
Toda a escuridão
Você que inventou o pecado
Esqueceu-se de inventar
O perdão
Apesar de você
Amanhã há de ser
Outro dia
Eu pergunto a você
Onde vai se esconder
Da enorme euforia
Como vai proibir
Quando o galo insistir
Em cantar
Água nova brotando
E a gente se amando
Sem parar

Quando chegar o momento
Esse meu sofrimento
Vou cobrar com juros, juro
Todo esse amor reprimido
Esse grito contido
Este samba no escuro
Você que inventou a tristeza
Ora, tenha a fineza.
De desinventar
Você vai pagar e é dobrado
Cada lágrima rolada
Nesse meu penar
Apesar de você
Amanhã há de ser
Outro diaInda pago pra ver
O jardim florescer
Qual você não queria
Você vai se amargar
Vendo o dia raiar
Sem lhe pedir licença
E eu vou morrer de rir
Que esse dia há de vir
Antes do que você pensa
Apesar de você

Amanhã há de ser
Outro dia
Você vai ter que ver
A manhã renascer
E esbanjar poesia
Como vai se explicar
Vendo o céu clarear
De repente, impunemente
Como vai abafar
Nosso coro a cantar
Na sua frente
Apesar de você
Amanhã há de ser
Outro dia
Você vai se dar mal
Etc. e tal...


Translation:
In spite of you

Today you are who orders
You spoke, is spoken
does not have quarrel
my people today walks
Speaking of side
and looking at pro soil, saw
You who invented this state
and invented to invent
All the blackout
You who invented the sin
You forgot yourself to invent the pardon
Although you

Tomorrow have of being
Another day
I ask you
Where you go to hide yourself
Of the enormous euphoria
How you will to forbid
When the rooster to insist
On singing
New water sprouting
and peoples loving theirselve
Without stopping
When to arrive the moment

This my suffering
I will charge with interests, I promess
All this restrained love
This contained shout
This samba in dark
You who invented the sadness
However, have the fineness
Of uninvent
You will to pay and it is folded
Each tear rolled
In this mine to suffer
Although you


Tomorrow have of being
Another day
I paid to see
The garden to blossom
Which you did not want
You will to make bitter uourself
seeing the day to border
Without asking for license to it
And I will to die to laugh
Because this day has to come
Before the one that you think
Although you

Tomorrow have of being
Another day
You will have to see
The morning to born again
and to say poetry
How will you to justify
Seeing the sky to bright
Suddenly,
How will you to stifle
Our choir to sing
In front of you
Although you

Tomorrow have of being
Another day
You will to give badly
Etc and such

BLINK 182

Blink 182 was formed by three men: Mark, Tom and Travis.

IN May 1993, Blink released a demo tape entitled Flyswater, recorded in the drummer Scott Raynor’s bedroom, who left the band two years later. It is their first album and a 4-track was used to record the material, resulting in poor sound quality and according to Mark, only around fifty copies were produced. Their first real show took place at a bar and as they were underage, they were only allowed to enter when it was time for their set. They bought fifty tickets to sell, but no one came to see them. After only one song, Blink was kicked off the stage and out of the bar. Before the end of the year, the band released another demo tape known as Bubddha. Around 1,000 copies were produced by a little recorder (owned by Mark’s boss).


Shortly after the release of one new CD, Blink was threatened with legal action by an Irish pop band of the same name.In order to avoid a lengthy law suit, Blink added “182” to the end of their name. There are several rumors as to why these numbers were ultimately chosen, such as their correspondence to the number of times Al Pacino repeats the word “fuck” in Scarface, the 1985 Timothy Hutton film – Turk 182!, their representation of Mark ideal weight, or that they represent the alphabet position of the letters ‘R’ and ‘B’, referring to the northern San Diego suburb of Rancho Bernardo. However, the band members have dismissed such claims and mantain that the numbers were picked at random. Not mentioning that Barker , in one interview, stated that the “182” was the U.S. radio code meaning ‘homicide’, apparently confusing “182”, the radio code for conspiracy, with “187”.

For now, Blink-182 is in indefinite “hiatus” as Mark and Travis made a new band called Plus 44 ( +44 is the “DDD” of London) and Tom made another one called “Angels and Airwaves” ( AvA is the name of his son).
