Does this even resemble anything that I have ever written? No, because this sentence was written by the person who wrote the post that I cut and pasted.

Well, that's not bad for an excuse. The stock excuse is usually: somebody was using my computer. Creativo!!!

Lu, você é muito poético e tem a grande prosa artística. Se você gosta, nós podemos continuar em inglês, ou talvez no Latin!

Talvez seu nome não é Jesus, mas não pode ser mau viver enquanto!

Obrigado pelo "cumprimento". Inglês será pois não falo Latim. Mas gostaria que nos debruçássemos sobre assuntos sérios em vez dessas tolices que estamos a chamar de debate.

Sometimes a lighter moment is better than angry debate, which is often intertwined with hypocrisy!

At least now you understand that I did not write that horrid sentence. It was another of Miguel Viera's many admirers. It was written during the time period that he considers to be his youthful indiscretion days! You see, a few years ago, Miguel was showing how he was a creole and should not be considered black/African. Thank Nhor Des he has come around to being Zulu!

No problem, now that the break is over let's move to bigger and better things.

Lu I find hard to believe that you learned such a fine English by yourself. You speak and write an excellent college level English (Master degree level). I actually know people in college whose English is not even close to yours. If someone else with this high level of English proficiency told me the same story, I would laugh at him/her. Nevertheless, because I know you personally and I know how honest you are, I believe you; but accepting that fact leave me mesmerized. I really take my hats off to you though I don't think you are a regular Joe smoe. Have you ever done any testing to find out if you may have any special natural gifts,i.e., any genius thing hidden in you?

Era na principio di anos 70, tempo di mini saia. Kes mini saia era tao curto (txeu des mi ki ta cozeba, mi e custurero tambe, kem ki conchi Talina nha Culadia perguntal) ki a cada passo di membras, bu ta odjaba calcinha. Imagina na kel idade (13-14 ano). Ki castigo.

Tudo quinta fera tinha aula di educason fisica, tanto pa mininas como pa rapazes. Diti nha irmon ranjano txabi di porta de separason di casas di banho y di facto ouvi algun cabesa rijo, mas nenhum di nos ca engravida mininas. Kanto alguns parci gravida um inquerito foi feito, txabi foi tomado, Reitor convocano y kantu e da cu mi e dicidi logo na expulsa'n (un vez nu fazi greve pamodi Reitor separa mininas y rapazes na recreio y proibi mini saias y mi era un dos advogados do diabo, portanto Reitor dja staba farto di mi). Ma problema e ki Padre Teles tem genes forti dimas, progenitura sai sima el, faltaba so batina.

As hard as you might find it to believe, I did it. All by myself. But I'm no genius. I just like to play with words the way a Baker plays with the dough or a carpenter with the wood. Words are alive, they're beautiful. Just imagine the pride you take dominating something you first thought you could never master. It is a powerful sentiment, it's almost orgasmic.

I never thought I could one day speak English but then I came here to spend three months, recharge my batteries and go back. I found such peace of mind that I decided to stay a little longer and that's when Bravanese's cousin, Jacinto told me I could NEVER speak English. My answer, one of a proud man who talks first and thinks afterward, was that if he agreed to a meeting within a year or two (Jacinto is no slouch, he speaks Dutch, Greek, Portuguese, French, Kriolu and of course English) I would TEACH him English. Damn, I still regret being so brave. We never got to trash each other about that as Jacinto is the sweetest person one could meet, but he's dramatically changed his mind. As for me, I'm no genious, believe me.

maica,

you confessed yourself that I had destroyed your mind in the past, so did I with salah, and now with LU. I will not give up, I will reply again and again as far as it is possible.

you should be aware that because I don't understand english as good as you do, my supposed "demolishing" by LU, I didn't realize it. really I am unimpressed by LU, and you are like a pom-pom girl in front of him. you should create a fan club.

I am completly unsensitive to what LU writes, if he demolishes something, I built it again and even more solid than before, so that he could end up, breaking is teeth on a concrete wall...I am only sensitive to argumentation, and so far a lot of lies or misinformations are spread by LU, especialy concerning portugal. Portugal was not in a better situation that cape-verde when cape-verde became independent. the lietracy rate in portugal was lower than in cape-verde and portuguese people were suffocating with the facist governement and were emigrating by millions. therefore the sufering cape-verde went trough, other portugese i the mainland went trough it as well...so that's why I see it as an unfair accusation against portugal

I realize you're not impressed with what I write, but how can you be impressed with something you do not understand? For you, reading what we write here equates to a dog eating caviar. The poor dog would not understand the "delicatesse", it would not understand how delicious, how palatable, how luxurious, how voluptuous and sensual, how pleasurable, refined caviar can be. As with the dog, you're unable to grasp the finesse utilized in the construction of a sentence, the luxurious beauty of the words. So I really understand how unimpressed you are just as I understand why my mother is TOTALLY unimpressed by a Ferrari. She doesn't understand what's behind il cavalino rampante. Not even Il Commendatore would be able to convince her.

As my Grandfather, Branquinho Musgo would say when a young beauty went by, with her big behind: Damn, beauty is beautiful. My grandfather was a poet, so some day I might enumerate the diverse names he had for human waste. It was so unbelievably beautiful you'd think he was talking about some Dior perfume. Branquinho would have found the right words to impress you, I'm just too dumb to accomplish that.
So please do not be impressed, I'm shy.
