Again? Why?

That’s right, my blog is back again. I’ve decided to create a new blog for a fresh start, and anticipating some questions that you might have, i’m gonna explain some stuff.

1- The real reason why I stopped updating my old Blog was because I moved to China, and there among many other sites, blogspot is blocked. I couldn’t even read other person’s blogs, so I guess some of my potential readers who happen to live in china atm will not be able to read this, but on the other side I will be able to say whatever I want about them and they will not know (not that I’m thinking of anyone in special, don’t worry Iche and Somm). Btw, these two are real persons, they’re not Hanna Barbera cartoons, and you'll be hearing more about them at some point I promisse!

2- Why in English? Well, I just realized that (way) more than half of my social networks contacts are not Portuguese speakers. The only non Portuguese guys who could read my blog if I wrote in Portuguese would be Raphy from France (Hi Raphy!) and Raffy from Brazil (Hi Raffy!). Besides writing in English allows me to use the lame “you now it’s not my native language” excuse for all the grammatical assassinations that I’m going to commit. I just couldn’t have this kind of excuse for writting bad Portuguese, could I? However, those of you who already read some of my Portuguese writting know that it will be impossible for me to have the same level of sarcasm, fun and sillyness in English. “But don’t you worry about me, cause I’ll be fine!” – did that sound funny? Not a little bit! But I can assure you would be dying laughing if I wrote that in Portuguese. Oh well, you gain in readers, you lose in expression...

3- Creating a new blog was really the only option left to write again. You see, Magic website readers are very demanding. They don’t have time for crap, so it’s less talking and more strategy, and as much as I love swinging with an Eldrazi as much as anyone else, I don’t feel I have any useful advices, I mean even I wouldn’t want to read a strategy article written by myself.

4- As for my old blog, it started as an anonymous blog, with somehow some bits of my provate life ended up in there. After some other players like Paulo Carvalho, Gonçalo Pinto and the most visited portuguese Magic website start linking to my blog, it wasn’t too dificult to figure it out who was behind it. I’m not exactly the same person I was 5 years ago, lots of things changed, and I do mean lots. On to a fresh start.
