Good news for those of you looking to become Brazilian citizens: last Thursday president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva signed a new law allowing tens of thousands of illegal aliens to become permanent residents of Brazil. According to the president, the law should serve as an example to countries that resort to repatriation and other "unjust immigration policies." It will benefit over 50,000 people who either entered Brazil illegally or overstayed their tourist visas, by helping them become legal residents.

On other news, last Thursday an action was filed on the Supreme Court in favor of the legalization and recognition of gay civil unions on a federal level. The action is based on Constitutional rights, and aims to give homosexual couples the same legal rights of heterosexual couples.

My ex-boyfriend took me to see Michael Jackson in concert at Madison Square Garden the night before 9/11. We had some pretty bad seats, but I remember the feeling of never being in a stadium so full of energy. I have seen many big concerts since then, but I have never seen a crowd as excited about a performer as I saw that night.
