Speed is my second name.
Since I have memories I always Loved speed.. always
challenged my friends to Race against me.
Running, Swimming, Riding a Bike.. Later on, Driving a
Motorbike or a Car.
Much earlier than I was supposed to.. the first time I drove
a car I was 7 years old. It was in FLORIDA. Nobody taught me how to drive,
anyway it was very easy because the cars in the U.S.A. usually have automatic
gears (transmission) so you have only 2 pedals: the left one to brake and the
right one to speed up!
It was an amazing experience.. with that age the adrenaline
of stealing the keys of the car that your father rented in a foreign country,
enter the car, and start speeding up : ] Being perfectly conscious that I could
kill myself but " Who cares ? I am enjoying it and Life is to enjoy
".
That was my mentality with 7 years old and nowadays I can
tell you that it didn't change much.
We know that Life is not perfect so when my father noticed
that his kid AND his car disappeared he started searching for his car. Yes, I
am quite sure that he was more concerned about the car than about the
kid.
Fortunately NO accident happened and when I came back to our
street.. guess what ?
Of course I left the car faster and start running as much as
I could but at that time my father was faster and caught me. I was basically
spanked by my dad. I knew it would happen right at the moment when I picked up
his car keys, anyway I didn't care. The half-our of fun I had compensate the about
3 days of pain in all body I suffered afterwards.
This was the first SPEED experience with motorized vehicles.
Afterwards it happened many other similar ones in my Life.. some of them Much
More, others More and others Less DANGEROUS than this one.
They all proved one thing to me " GOD Loves you So
Much.. otherwise you wouldn't be here ". The only thing I must do is
"Love him back" and that means Loving my family, Loving my friends,
Loving every Life and try to help anyone in any situation.
It seems that my daughter follows her father.. and it
doesn't make me happy at all if she becomes like me in this aspect. Even to
came out of her mother womb she 'speeded up' 1 month & half earlier than it
was supposed to and nowadays when I am driving very slow for traffic reasons,
with almost 2 & half years she already says " mais rapido pai "
and starts Laughing. It scares me that she already enjoys Speed.
Anyway when I am driving with her in the car I always drive
slow simply because I couldn't survive if something bad happened to her. When I
am with her my mentality changes dramatically to the opposite. I didn't know
that being a father would turn a person in "2 different persons". A
person with the kid nearby and a very different person with the kid out of your
sight. My reality showed me that yes, it turns.
I have 2 cousins that were RALLY Champions in Portugal.
Probably this Love for Speed is genetic, I can't explain the reason of having
permanently this voice in my head while I am running, swimming, riding a bike,
driving, etc.. " Go faster, Go faster . . . "
The video below shows two of my passions in Life:
Which one do I prefer ?
When someone ask me I usually answer, Probably motorbike.. I
can use sex to explain: Driving a Car is having sex with condom, Driving a
motorbike is having sex without condom . . . more Dangerous but much more
PLEASURABLE !

It is amazing how you can perceive that he KNEW that he was
going to die . . . don't ask me HOW, but he KNEW.
