Bio
I live with my wife in the city I was born: Fortaleza, in the Northeast of Brazil. I am graduated in Portuguese Language and Literature and I am a self-thaught musician, an amateur, so to speak. I worked as a proofreader in a great educational system in Brazil. Nowadays, I am working at the Brazilian company of mail and telegraphs. But my biggest love is to write (poetry, prose and mainly songs). For the time being it is just a secret vice. I want to change that using the social networks on the internet.
I'm passionate about
The world, the people. About art! Writing, music, drawing... I'm passionate about my wife and I think the love is the thing that gives meaning to all other things. Without love, nothing makes sense to me. The Beatles were right.
An idea worth spreading
Love.
