Nearly 6pm, half time in the football, can I do it?
I haven’t bee able to blog this afternoon, I haven’t been able to nap. I went to the botequim and I couldn’t even drink, so I came home to watch the football.
A large group of the young locals have super loud music in the praça (park), can’t work, can’t think, can’t drink.
They are playing a style of music here called funk, it mainly involves rap and they play it very loud, deafeningly loud.
I did have one beer, before I decided it was too much ‘culture’. While looking around the group, I decided on the post title; if you took the collective brains present, they still wouldn’t have the intelligence to tie a pair of shoe laces.
There is not a lot to be recommended for funk. If you pronounce that in Portuguese, it becomes ‘funky’. Portuguese doesn’t like words that end in a consonant, so they have to add an ‘e’ sound. It isn’t very ‘funky’, it’s bloody horrible. The only music worse than funk is Bieber. No, I’m wrong, Bieber is just pathetic, not horrible.
Well, that’s about taken the football interval. Flamengo (my team) vs Macae, currently 3-1 to me.
Later.
Life is but a Labyrinth 
Football is doing me proud this week AV. I participate in a guess the score league. You pick a team at the start and I chose Cardiff. They are currently bottom of the Premiership. They are so unpredictable but this week, for the first time this season, I got the score right BEFORE the game was played. I get 10 points for that and I’m not bottom of the league. I suspect your team is somewhat better. I’m afraid I am not into funky music although ‘The Funky Gibbon’ was quite amusing. And I have no idea what a Bieber sounds like except perhaps the wail of “I’m a celebrity, get me out of here”.

>Andrew, I don’t consider my knowledge sufficient to make guesses, although I did guess 5-2 for yesterday’s game, and it was before the stupid linesman gave a belated ‘off side’ for the goal in the final moments of the game, rendering it 4-2. Bieber’s a spoiled brat.
