I always loved Comics. Since I was a kid (am I not still one?) , I used to read all sorts of comic books. Gladly enough, my parents were always very supportive and I read from Superman to Spider-man, ranging to Disney's, Monica (an excellent Brazilian comic - click the link for the english website), some Asterix and the list goes on and on.When I first saw Garfield and 'his' comic strips, I fell

Cat saves baby's life | Reuters.comThis photo is not from the actual news article, but I think it has its own meaning related to what I just read.I don't like cats. At least in the sense of having one. If I were to choose between a cat and a dog, I would definitely have a dog. I would fight like a lion in order to not having a cat.This fact, though, doesn't mean that they are useless or that they

NPR : Always Go to the FuneralMy father didn't teach me what Deirdre Sullivan's dad taught her. Now she taught me.Within her text she says "Always go to the funeral" means that I have to do the right thing when I really, really don't feel like it."
