Bezul2: you didnīt like my Finished comment? but your totally right and iīm laughing right now cuz that is a prototypical hogger comment and i didnīt even think about it when i was writing it except that i knew it was cheesy. hogger isnīt cheesy is he.
Beans: Nice, ryan-solis rios. good one, I donīt even have a comeback really, except that cleiber doesnīt shave his legs, so it canīt be our boy.
Nordyke: really, how the hell did yu find this. hereīs the thing, the web isnīt slow, itīs me. Iīm about 2 weeks behind right now. This last week I was sick and it seriously has rained for 7 days straight - more or less non-stop so I had a lot of time to update the blog cuz I wasnīt doing anything else. But usually, I always have something to do then update this thing and thatīs why I fall behind. Plus it isnīt cheap to update this thing and I will fall behind even more as I leave for Rio tomorrow where the weather is supposed to be great so I wonīt be updating it as often and the internet rates are twice as much. I have a 20 hour bus ride tomorrow, Iīm really looking forward to that.
Whoever posted the comment about me not having pics of chicks:
Yeah sorry about the shirtless wonder pics of me, but seriously, yu like em, especially if you are Ballls (Ryan Hannan). Hereīs the deal, first of all, girls here for the most part are not good looking at all. I mean once in awhile you see hotties, but usually no. I mean Iīve walked beaches where Iīve seen 100īs or maybe 1000īs of chicks and very few are even somewhat attractive. Now, the hookers, yes, they are smoking, but your average girl, nope, not at all. I assume if average girls were hot, they would be hookers too. I donīt think girls here can make much money - they definitely arenīt given the same opportunities as girls in the US, well hell, most dudes canīt make much money here. So I guess I shouldnīt be so hard on the hookers, because they are hot, everyone likes sex, so why not make some cash while doing something you like. When I think about it, it makes sense. The other reason you donīt see any girls in my pics is because I hardly ever have my camera and I never ever take it out at night - why - because I am an awful awful picture taker, and I never remember to bring the camera, i just donīt think about it. I never take it at night either because it is bulky and it isnīt even mine, so I donīt want to lose it, break it or get it stolen in my druken stupors. But your right, I wish I had more pics - esp of the people Iīve met, and yes including the girls. Oh, plus batteries are crazy expensive here and the camera eats thru them super fast. A decent amount of the pics on here, arenīt even pics I took but pics that were sent to me. Now girls in the southeast are supposedly much hotter and maybe iīll get some pics of them when i hit rio.
Dave: yes i heard that about florianapolis, but i donīt think i will have a chance to get down there, iīm quickly running out of time, which is unbelievable. i thought i had all the time in the world. i guess i could just spend a week in rio, but then i have another 20 hour bus ride. what would yu do - 2 weeks in rio - or 1 in rio and 1 in florinapolis? BTW: Dave is eweeīs co-worker who comes to rio about once a month cuz his fiance lives here. everyone say Hi.
Tim and Dana: yes, iīm not smart, but iīm really stupid because once i kissed her, i already fucked myself so i may as well try to stab, but i didnīt - i totally backed off, i donīt understand myself sometimes.
Fraser: i have yet to be able to use my ninja skillz, oh i guess i did - with the blow gun, but that was just practice, I mean for real, but i have some smoke screen bombs with me at all times just in case the situation calls for it and i need to disappear like that time that chick told me she was pregnant or disappear like food when gunn comes near it or disappear like bezul during work week or disappear like good fashion sense when my aunt barb wears overalls to the yearly xmas party. please insert your own if you like.
Ok, iīm out, have a long ass day tomorrow - uggh.

Go south man
Hey man,
Your Blog is funny, writen in a manly way, etc, not like those touristy 'sisters' around.
My advice, go south to Floripa. Its a different Brazil, different from Rio, different from the Nordeste, go there take a look.
cheers
Tough decision
I would say that unless you find an awesome group, or have a rediculous good time in rio and want one more week, I would split the time. You have been to rio already, and even though it was bad weather, I thought your purpose there was to explore. So unless you are tired, in love, stuck in that nasty smelling river near the airport, lost in a favella, or too drunk, I would take a week in florianopolis. I know you are desperately looking for protein bars, and I know you can find them in Rio, think about it...you could probably eat healthier there than anywhere you have been. You are probably doing ok. Acai IS rediculous. You need to try Guara Viton, I always bring back bottles of it. You also need to try corracao do frango. Lastly, DON'T go to HELP in copacobana. You can have a kick ass time at a club in Lapa, Leblon, Baja, or even in Lagoa. Also, check out the Christmas tree on lagoa.
Now that I have been formally introduced, 'Hi' to you all
