I’m very good at pretending I play percussion instruments and coundn’t be less tempted to have a go at a Cajon Flamenco after watching it on a Brazilian tv channel this week. I have a Brazilian friend who talked about this instrument before, but I didn’t pay too much attention to it then. Now that I have heard its sound I have decided that I need to have one.
It’s a very simple instrument but the sound is really nice.,I may attempt to build one before I buy a proper one.
Not really sure what the expression “Cold Feet” really means in English, but in Brazilian Portuguese it’s how you explain someone who doesn’t bring luck to sports. I think this football season I’ve been cursed with “Cold Feet”. Look at the situation of the football teams I support.
I’ve been reading (well… stopped and restarted) this excellent book by John C. Maxwell entitled “Talent Is Never Enough”. This book challenges one to grow beyond one’s talents. It’s so easy to just do enough to stay a little above average and then stagnate and not achieve one’s full potential.
Hehe…26th of March is coming and I’ll be there. This friendly match is to commemorate the 5oth aniversary of the 1958 World Cup Final in which Brazil became the first non-european nation to win a World Cup in Europe. It will be played at the Emirates Stadium in London - home of Arsenal FC.
