Wow! Im a mess of feelings latelly. Even feeling down I feel I still have an insistent and little hope inside of me! I resist cause this hope doesnt match with my disbelief in humans or in something in this life. Have a hope is like say something and do another thing. I never ask to myself a lot of consistency but I dont know why now I need to feel too much sense in anything. Im losing energy with this small things, turning a drop of water into a big storm. I dont know how to fix it and sometimes I ask to myself if it is worth to change... maybe all I need to do is just accept. But this word "accept" makes me feel strange.

Ayrton Senna - Magic Senna - 14 years



In addition to the powers in the tracks, Senna was also known for generosity outside. He started work philanthropic giving rise to the Ayrton Senna Institute, which now serves about 400 thousand children and young people throughout Brazil. Viviane, his sister, plays the project since its creation. After Senna's death it was discovered that he had donated millions of dollars of his personal fortune (estimated at $400 million at the time of his death) to children's charities, a fact that during his life he had kept secret. His foundation in Brazil, Instituto Ayrton Senna, has invested nearly US$ 80 million over the last twelve years in social programs and actions in partnership with schools, government, NGOs, and the private sector aimed at offering children and teenagers from low-income backgrounds the skills and opportunities they need to develop to their full potential as persons, citizens and future professionals.
His importance to the Formula 1 is summarized in a statement from Bernie Ecclestone, big boss of the category. According to him, Senna was the greatest driver of all time, status of which neither Michael Schumacher is approaching. "Ayrton had a charisma that Schumacher was not able to transmit" said Bernie Ecclestone, Formula 1's big boss.
Check out some numbers on the winning career of Ayrton Senna:
Titles in Formula 1: 3 in 1988, 1990, 1991 (all with McLaren-Honda)
Wins: 41
Pole positions: 65
Points: 614
GPs disputed: 161
GPs finalized: 105
Premiuns: 80
Laps in leadership: 2,987
Miles in leadership: 13,676
Total laps travelled: 8,219
Total kilometers travelled: 37,934
Poles in the first row: 87
With wins pole position: 29
Wins for end to end: 19
Laps faster: 19
Maximum poles achieved in a single season: 13 (in 1988 and 1989)
Pole positions in succession: 8, in the following GPs: Spain, Australia, Brazil, San Marino, Monaco, Mexico and USA (1988) and Brazil (1989) Notable quotations:
"Winning is like a drug, I cannot justify in any circumstances coming second or third.
"Being second is to be the first of the ones who lose."
"On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit. And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit, and you think, 'Okay, this is the limit'. And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high."
"One particular thing that Formula-1 can provide you, is that you know you're always exposed to danger. Danger of getting hurt, danger of dying. This is part of your life, and you either face it in a professional, in a cool manner, or you just drop it, just leave it and don't do it anymore really. And I happen to like too much what I do to just drop it, I can't drop it."
"Racing, competing, it's in my blood. It's part of me, it's part of my life; I have been doing it all my life and it stands out before everything else."
"There are no small accidents on this circuit." - talking about the Imola circuit before the fatal 1994 race.
"It's going to be a season with lots of accidents, and I'll risk saying that we'll be lucky if something really serious doesn't happen." - pre-season 1994.
"I continuously go further and further learning about my own limitations, my body limitation, psychological limitations. It's a way of life for me."
"Of course there are moments that you wonder how long you should be doing it because there are other aspects which are not nice, of this lifestyle. But I just love winning."
"If you have a target in your life, a real target, doesn't matter if you are very poor or rich people, if you work hard and believe in God, you can get the success, success in the life."
"I know that it is impossible to win always. I just hope that defeat doesn't come this weekend."
"I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's."
"If I ever happen to have an accident that eventually costs me my life, I hope it is in one go. I would not like to be in a wheelchair. I would not like to be in a hospital suffering from whatever injury it was. If I'm going to live, I want to live fully. Very intensely, because I am an intense person. It would ruin my life if I had to live partially." (January 1994, 4 months before to his death).
Professor Sidney Watkins, a world-renowned neurosurgeon and Formula One Safety Delegate and Medical Delegate, head of the Formula One on-track medical team, who performed an on-site tracheotomy on Ayrton Senna, reported:“He looked serene. I raised his eyelids and it was clear fromhis pupils that he had a massive brain injury. We lifted him from the cockpit and laid him on the ground. As we did, he sighed and, although I am totally agnostic, I felt his soul depart at that moment."

The FW16's new rear end was introduced at Imola. It was ironic that at the beginning of 1994 Senna himself told the press that he would be surprised if there would be no large accidents that year. He referred to the fact that after the wide "white label" 26 inch Goodyear slicks were banned for 1993 (replaced by "yellow label"), now the technology at the very core of the cars, the science around which they had been based for the last few years (active suspension, traction control and ABS) was also banned for 1994. He surmised that the cars would have trouble staying on the road, which is exactly what was observed at the beginning of 1994. J. J. Lehto damaged his vertebrae at Silverstone in January and Jean Alesi broke his neck in pre-season testing, prior to Ratzenberger's and Senna's fatal accidents at Imola. During qualifying for the next race at Monaco, Karl Wendlinger suffered an accident which left him comatose for months; Ratzenberger's replacement, Andrea Montermini, broke his feet in the Simtek in Barcelona, and Pedro Lamy broke both knee-caps in testing at Silverstone in May.
The Williams team was entangled for many years in a court case with the Italian prosecutors over manslaughter charges, but they were found not guilty and no action was taken against Williams. In 2004, the case was re-opened, but closed again in 2005 when there was no new evidence.At the conclusion of the Italian trial, Senna's FW16, chassis number 02, was returned to the Williams team. The team reported that the car was destroyed.His death was considered by many of his Brazilian fans to be a national tragedy, and the Brazilian government declared three days of national mourning. More than 1 million persons followed Senna's burial in São Paulo. Senna is buried at the Cemitério do Morumbi in his hometown of São Paulo.
I have no idols, I have no passions I have no heroes.
The only one were Ayrton Senna da Silva,
The Magic Senna.
From that 1st May
I have never watched F1 again.
And I never will.

Chão de Giz
Há meros devaneios tolos a me torturar
Fotografias recortadas em jornais de folhas amiúde
Eu vou te jogar num pano de guardar confetes
Eu vou te jogar num pano de guardar confetes
![]()
Disparo balas de canhão, é inútil pois existe um grão-vizir
Há tantas violetas velhas sem um colibri
Queria usar quem sabe, uma camisa de força ou de vênus
Mas não vão gozar de nós apenas um cigarro
Nem vou lhe beijar gastando assim o meu batom
![]()
Agora pego um caminhão, na lona vou a nocaute outra vez
Pra sempre fui acorrentado no seu calcanhar
Meus vinte anos de "boy", "that's over, baby" , Freud explica
Não vou me sujar fumando apenas um cigarro
Nem vou lhe beijar gastando assim o meu batom
![]()
Quanto ao pano dos confetes já passou meu carnaval
E isso explica porque o sexo é assunto popular
No mais estou indo embora ...
No mais estou indo embora ...
No mais...

I get down from that loneliness and spread things on a floor of chalk

Depression

Many things can trigger debilitating depression. Feelings of depression are caused by a chemical change that affects how the brain functions.
A normally functioning brain is a giant messaging system that controls everything from your heartbeat, to walking, to your emotions. The brain is made up of billions of nerve cells called neurons. These neurons send and receive messages from the rest of your body, using brain chemicals called neurotransmitters.

These brain chemicals—in varying amounts—are responsible for our emotional state. Depression happens when these chemical messages aren’t delivered correctly between brain cells, disrupting communication.

Think of a telephone: if your phone has a weak signal, you may not hear the person on the other end. Their communication is muted or unclear.

The good news is that there are many forms of treatment that can help you cope with depression, including medications that can strengthen weak signals by raising the levels of certain neurotransmitters, or by improving the neurons’ ability to process signals. This ensures that the brain’s vital messages are delivered—loud and clear.
If you notice that your son, daughter, your brother, sister, parents, a friend, are acting different, being isolated of all people, with sad eyes looking to nowhere, talk to them, show them your love and take them to a doctor.
You can save a life.

The Gate

The secret is not in the stars my dear. First you need to dive within yourself.
But what is there inside of me? I already know and I don't want to go!!
There you will find the universe.
I don't have such beautiful things inside of me.. mainly a whole universe!
Dive. I will be waiting for you there.
Nooo!!! You won't! Nobody waits for anybody!!!
I didn't tell you that it would be easy. You have to go.
Will I die?

New Year
The year started as any other day. In a distant land she looked to the sky. There was nothing different. Looking around she couldnt find anything to make her feel something. But she was not sad. She was grateful to God to come to her heart again. It was not too bad walking alone cause she was not alone anyway.
She remembered that one day she was in the dark - in the darkness of her soul. She was taking shower and her tears and the water was the same thing. "Please help me" - she asks. At the same day someone came and started to talk abt good and evil. And the person described someone who wanted to jump from a high place to the darkness. She recognized herself in those words and she knew that was God talking to her through that person. Suddenly she felt that the pain in her back was gone. She could breath as before. Finally she started to believe again.

Somewhere....
Walking alone in a small and desert city and buying some beers. Everything around was in silence. I could hear the noise of my steps. If it was in my own city I wouldnt be on the street - mainly alone. I dont like to drink alone but I need to relax today.
Inside a feeling of beeing out of reality. Everybody is gone. Just two of us are here at the same hotel. Tomorrow will be only me.
I miss my family, my kids. But I cant come back. Not now. After all those changes that are still on I dont know what I am. They wouldnt be proud of me now.
When we are weak nobody loves you, nobody wants you, nobody needs you. When you are weak you are easier to let others use you. I've learned with time that just the ones who are with you in those difficult times will be the ones who will be with you forever (a despite of knowing that nothing is forever anyway). Till now I didnt find anyone like that. Not in my real life... well.. maybe my ex-husband. He does what he can. I guess he has his own life now..a family.. I dont know. He never talk abt this with me.
But what I am talking about is a real friend. That one who feels what you are feeling without you say any word. Anyways, I use to isolate myself when Im not fine.
Is common when we feel like that we start thinking abt past and all those possibilities that never happened.. or never will. Im just trying to keep me sane. But I cant avoid to think that I have some of old ghosts of my childhood now. They say that life is repetitive..thats it. The true is: Im feeling lost. I cant get even to look into others eyes. Im afraid that they find out that Im lost. What is this now? Is it not enough all these years? Since 2005 I cant control my life. Or maybe just now Im minding it.
Im starting to feel sleepy now. But Im not calm down. I need to go to somewhere.. I just dont know where exactly. Im alone. I dont see anything interesting in people anymore even feeling sometimes that they are humans like me. All my life just to check that life is only this.

Ex.............
We used to work a lot.. day n night. When he was at home I was ready to get out and vice-versa. Once I thought that the love was gone... so I decided to go away. I couldnt live with someone without love. If I'd have waited a bit more all those doubts would fade away.
He is honest and his word is more than a zillion dollars.. in a world like that where will I find someone like him? I can't say anything now...at least not for him. Now he has an important travel agency and I am nothing. I remember when we started together..working hard. I was so happy even at the end of a hard day cause we had each other. He is the best partner someone can have... but is done. Nothing will change the past now.
Once in a while I find someone who I think is so good..in fact, a so rare thing to happen. But soon I notice that I am wrong. People use people..it will never change. The best I can do is just think about my work. Working hard again.. I know something good will happen.
