It's been around two months now since I've come back from the crazy trip I did as a volunteer firefighter, I basically worked a month then stayed over 2 more months waiting for a mechanic to fix my fucking van lol. I guess most people would think that's a shitty thing to happen, but I ended up meeting a bunch of nice people and doing cool stuff, like playing music in different places and I gave some kids in a public school a Flash class check it out, great success!
FLASH CLASS TO SOME KIDS AT A PUBLIC SCHOOL
While staying on the town I volunteered at, eventually I told people I worked doing video things with drawings that moved for a living, and I got invited to give some kids a "class" on animation or something. I tried my best to evangelize some kids with the gospel of Flash, on this picture you can see me showing freelance stuff I had lying around my hard drive and breaking NDA agreements(jk this is all released stuff or canceled or projects that never released and went kaboom)
It was pretty fun I got to talk for like 2 hours about animation and communities like Newgrounds, and two kids actually made little flipbooks, a girl did a stickgirl walking by a butterfly and a boy just straight up did an amongus guy killing other amongus guy... they said they've never tried animation before, so that was quite magical to me!
I did a bunch of cool things, like for example, touched a couple of horses, saw a cool yellow alligator, a bunch of animal skeletons, grabbed a snake with a stick, almost hit a tapir(which I didnt know it was what english speakers called "antas", just googled it) with my van, saw a shitload of huge trees catching fire, a lot of fire stuff obviously... but also a lot of fun things happened relating to the people in the city I was stationed in, Chapada Dos Guimaraes
MUSIC ADVENTURES/SEGUE INTO FUTURE MUSIC STUFF
I guess people liked me and eventually they also discovered I like doing silly music so they called me up to do a little show on a place where they have art exhibitions, theater, crafts, etc. I played a bunch of songs never played to any audience so it was pretty crazy doing that after almost 2 years of basically not going out, people laughed and sung along and I was pretty fucking happy with the 10 to 15 people who took part on that historical night. I wore a face mask and took it off when I was in my corner on top of the little stage they had. Remember: covid shits real be careful out there

I've been doing a l lot of irl vaccinated meeting friends and playing music and stuff with them because I really missed that during the height of the pandemic. I finally got two friends from very different backgrounds together and we're all making some weird emotional funny music that I hope to record and post here soon, but for now EACH OF THEM HAS JUST RELEASED ALBUMS ON BANDCAMP CHECK IT OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!111
ocolecionadordepessoas is a weird(er) project by my friend Dani or DJ Dennis how I like to call him, mostly instrumental stuff going to a spooky place. I love the stuff he does with electric guitars, reverse tracks, and ugly keyboards. My favorite tracks are 7 and 10, I kinda really want him to post this stuff here and see someone do creepy animation using his stuff as soundtrack
Ella's Heart Of Stone is the music thing from my other friend, Ella, wonderful singersongriter, with her raw acoustic guitar she shows us all the gay stuff that composes her lyrics IN ENGLISH so you guys can understand her beautiful poetry, which is the main thing I like about her music, alongside the emo ass voice and all.
