Thursday, 1st of March – February: Tenerife & Mestre Ousado
Thursday, 1st of March 2012 February: Tenerife & Mestre Ousado The lovely month of February… We were meant to get new belts on Capoeira, but instead I decided we wanted to go on holiday in the sun… You were keener on a holiday than on another batizado, and we don’t…
London 19/06/1990 Tuesday
19 June 1990 On Friday, before going to meet up with Sandra, James came here saying he got us an audition for Glastonbury, which is on next weekend. Patrick asked me to go with him but it’s too expensive. If we go to show capoeira we get in for free!…
London 15/06/1990 Friday
15/06/1990 My writing is like this because I didn’t sleep last night. I’m like a zombie. All the interesting news are about Patrick so let’s go! On Tuesday he called me arranging to meet on Weds at 5:40 at Arsenal station. Except I understood he’d call me on Weds to…

London 06/06/1990 Wednesday
06/06/1990 I was in a funny place when I was writing the above. If I lost my memory and tried to make sense of my weekend by reading it I might feel a bit lost… I must have entered a self-destructive, compulsively irresponsible phase. After class, yesterday, Letitia and I…
London 04/06/1990 Monday
04/06/1990 I’ve just had one of the longest weekends of my life and the best one in England! Feels like a month has passed since I left home on Saturday afternoon… I arrived at the squat and Denise, Gustavo, and the guy who opened the squat were there. Robinson was…
London 29/05/1990 Tuesday, 7 Sisters Squats
29 May 1990 Everything suddenly solved itself, from one day to the next, and now I don’t want to see Gustavo even if he’s dressed as Henrique. On Saturday night we smoked lots of hash and he said the most awful things to me. He said he didn’t trust me,…
