19/100 The Kindergarten Teacher
Yesterday I wachted a movie called The Kindergarten Teacher.
To begin I already learned a new word (Kindergarten), but obviously I'm not here to talk about my new vocabulary, I want to talk about the movie so let's go.
Lisa is a dedicated kindergarten's teacher who likes of poetry and who wants to be a poetess .
A certain day, one of their students, Jimmy that have only 5 years old, declaimed a poem and Lisa realized a real prodigy in front of her.
From that moment, Lisa developed a strange obsession with the boy.
Throughout the movie Liza realize how much extraordinary Jimmy was in contrast how much mediocre she was like a poetess and in her life too.
Then we feel two things during the film, the Lisa frustration and her disturbing obsession with Jimmy. The more frustrated she felt more obsessive she became. Certainly a tense movie.

17/100 My childhood inside a movie theater
One of the my favorite hobby is watching good movies and series. The first time that I watched a movie on the movie theater I was about seven years old and I'll never forget of the movie, The Last Starfighter.
I don't know if you've already heard of the movie "Cine Paradiso" a wonderful movie that I recommend. This film is about a kid that had a opportunity to visit daily a cine because he became friend of the owner movie theater. I think I was this kid because I had the same opportunity. My older brother was dating with the movie theater owner's daughter. She had a little brother and he had the same age of me, so with him I had free pass to the only movie theather of my city.
I lost the track how many times we watched The Last Starfighter. Sometimes we stayed helping the booking officer out, sometimes we stayed in the projection room. Sometimes we stayed behind of the bigscreen, that's right, while the audience watched the film, we stayed on the opposite side.
Well, it was a time to remember forever. That cine was my Disney, it was a magical place that I'll never forget.

16/100 Shooting attacks in the world!
In the last week we saw a series of sad news about shooting attacks. First in a school in São Paulo, after in New Zealand a terrible attack against a mosque and today an attack in Netherlands.
In São Paulo, the responsible were a 25 years old man and a 17 years old teenager, they killed one man before start the attack and more seven people inside the school. Lastly, how was planned, the teenager killed your partner and killed himself.
Because of this I've been reading about shooters attacks and I found a psychologist's article who tried to drew the profile of the shooting school attackers. The first think is believe they are all psychopaths, but analyzing 150 shooters' profiles it does not true. According to the article, 49% were psychotic like schizophrenia and listening voices, 32% were psychopaths and 19% were traumatized with the historic of family abuse and bullying in the school.
So, it was very sad and it's an important subject to deal with the society. I leave my condolences to the affected families.

15/100 Do you have kids? You should have!
I had no ideia how big change in my life my son would cause.
I've already heard from other people the most import day of their lives were their kid's birth.
In fact, It was a remarkable day im my life too, to see your son borning is amazing.
After, during the daily activities, love grows by that little human being,
when you putting him to bed, when you to bathing him, when you spoon-feeding him.
Little by little I've realized that paternity doen't was just to give love and to play with him, but above all have responsability.
Responsability to teach love other people, to teach respect the women, to teach to preserve the nature, and so on.
This is a huge challenge for me, because I have to deal with my imperfections too.
Anyway I think that everyone should go through by this experince.
To have a child is being wonderful and I wonder: will one more come?

13/100 The magic of the circus
I've already went to extraordinary circus shows like cirque du soleil.
I've always liked of this remarkable world created below the canvas.
I recently took my son to the circus for the firt time.
But I don't took him in a huge circus, much to the contrary, it was in a little one.
The same people that jump on the trampoline, for example, on the break sold food to the audience.
The clown after his appearance went back to be the show speaker.
But only adults eyes realized the reality, my son was fascinated with the show.
I've realized too, in spite of precariousness, the magic of the circus was in there.
Children have laughed like children that they are and adults became children again.
So it doesn't matter if the circus is big or small, circus will always be circus.

Hi italki's friends, I took a pause in my daily notebook entries becouse I was on vacation, I didn't give up.
My last text was in January 25, more than one month without writing, then I have no time to lose.
Well, nothing more obvious than tell you how was my vacation, so let's start it.
I, my wife and my son were to the beach.
Everyday to face a lot of sun and to take a dip were a hard job to us.
Of course that I'm just kidding, becouse pass the time in the beach is extremely relaxing to me.
To have a swim in the sea with my kid, to build a sand castle with him and another things were wonderful.
During my vacation, in Brazil we had the carnival. In this moment it's very commom the people dressed up.
To the carnival party I dressed up my sun as Fred Flintstone, he wa so cute.
But it's over and I'm here again work hard. As the saying goes: everthing good is short!
