buenos aires

I made a short trip to Buenos Aires last week, my first time in there. It's a beautiful city, filled with old architecture which I really appreciate. Even though my trip to La Bombonera made me a Boca Juniors fan (the list of clubs I support now is Corinthians, Bayern München, Real Madrid and Boca Juniors), I'd say my favourite things about Buenos Aires were the steak (bife de chorizo is an amazing delicacy. Eating steak twice a day for three days kinda ruined my stomach, though), the ice cream (Persicco is incredible, my favourite flavours are dulce de leche with brownie and crema mascarpone!) and the men. There was this guy who I figured owned the Persicco store in Tucuman x Reconquista (because he wasn't wearing a uniform and he looked very owner-ish)... rugged, manly but still beautiful, almost fashion-model-in-his-late-30's face with slightly grizzling sideburns and so damn meaty thighs you could almost feel through his gray trousers. My boyfriend caught sight of him standing up and apparently he had a gigantic ass, but sadly I didn't had the chance to experience such wonder of nature - he was already sitting behind the counter when I turned to look, all I could see were those thunder thighs. He was amazing.

Oh, I also found it funny that men greeted each other with a kiss on the cheek. I thought that kissing was a gay thing in a gay-friendly town but visibly straight uncle types did it too, it must be usual in there. Pretty cool.

Unfortunately, during my stay I didn't bump into Gonzalo Higuain, the best thing Argentina has ever produced (neverminding the fact he is French-born), so I might have to return to Buenos Aires later (neverminding the fact he plays for a Spanish club) to have a chance at tapping that huge ass!

some great people

For some reason my work’s firewall decided to allow access to basically every site in existence. It went from a tiny whitelist (meaning we could only access work-related government crap sites and some email providers) to a select blacklist (forbidding words like “game”, “porn” and “blog”, although “wordpress”, “ib4f” and “mmo-champion” worked just fine – heh!) to now, allowing almost everything other than Facebook – including YouTube! Good stuff.

Two days ago, Famitsu announced a Tactics Ogre remake by the same team that gave us said masterpiece 15 years ago, Yasumi Matsuno included. It made me so happy I actually cried. I wept over the announcement of a game… I’m such a nerd. Anyway, this inspired me to make a list of some of my favourite people in this world. They are people who never disappoint in what they do.

4. Lateef Crowder (stuntman): he’s Eddy Gordo, there’s not much else to say. I’m a huge Eddy Gordo fan (one of the sexiest fighting characters ever, to me) and when I heard this Brazilian-American stuntman I had never heard of before was going to portray him in the Tekken movie, I had to see if he fit the part. Well, the man is goddamned Eddy Gordo. He’s huge, he’s gorgeous, he’s got the braids and he fucking defies gravity. The man is a monster (a deliciously hot monster, at that). Horrible Portuguese speaker though, but I can forgive him, as long as he takes off his shirt.

3. Keiji Fujiwara (seiyuu, or Japanese voice actor): I fell in love with Keiji Fujiwara first sight (or first hearing?) when I saw (or heard?) Fullmetal Alchemist’s Maes Hughes, several years ago. Back then, I was a huge Asuma fanboy/burgeoning oyaji fanatic and the first Hagaren anime series was newly released (only one or two episodes were out). Hughes was a perfect oyaji: he had facial hair, he was the proud father of a young girl and he was simply adorable in every way possible. But a great deal of his charisma came from his WONDERFUL voice-acting by the masterful Keiji Fujiwara – this man is simply amazing. Considering seiyuu are often typecast into voicing similar characters and mr. Fujiwara tends to get the silly/comedic/scruffy characters (for instance, he voices Shin-chan’s father, Eureka 7’s Holland, Metal Gear Solid 3’s Sigint and frigging Shaggy from Scooby Doo), whenever a new series or game is out, first thing I do is checking if Keiji Fujiwara is voicing anyone. If he is, that means I've already found my favourite character!

2. Yasumi Matsuno (video game creator): around 1994, I was obsessed with a relatively obscure game called Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen. It was a very peculiar real-time strategy with an entrancing plot and several great mechanics. I only managed to play its sequel, Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together, a few years later, when it was ported to the PS1 and translated. I was in heaven – it was all I wanted in a game. Until I got my dirty nerdy hands in Final Fantasy Tactics, and the world was never the same. The gameplay, the characters, the visuals, the music, the Final Fantasy familiarity and the story: everything about FFT (…other than the translation) was simply perfect. And those three games were handcrafted by the same person of godly caliber, a genius of his time: Yasumi Matsuno. Even the controversial FF12 – it’s most definitely part of my Final Fantasy Top3, in spite of all the hate it gets; I like everything about it, but mostly the Matsuno feel. He, like the others in this list, is someone you can always rely upon, because he never disappoints. Whenever a game has the Matsuno brand, you can be assured it will be mind-blowing. He eats, he breaths, he makes awe-inspiring videogames - that’s just how he is.

1. Shoutaroh Kojima (manga artist and personal god): words cannot describe the greatness that is Kojiman, so I won’t even bother trying. I’ll just say that if I’m addicted to porn, he’s one of the reasons.

congratulations spain

Wow, Spain actually won! Every team I was rooting for lost (France, Argentina and Portugal), so I fully expected Holland to win the thing.

In some aspects it was even better than Brazil winning: watching the finals was less of a heart-attack-inducing experience (being a neutral party instead of supporting your won country is SO less stressful!), plus it meant I could see more of Piqué, Xabi Akonso and David Villa. Hottest World Cup Squad ever. Even Iker Casillas, whose appeal I finally realised: his personality. He seems like a silly, cuddly, adorable, huggable guy. I'm a fan now.

But the match was painful to watch, it's like the Netherlands squad let free all their latent aggressiveness. I'm really glad Spain won! I just hope Brazil claims the Cup in 2014.

world cup's finest men

In celebration of my country's triumph over Chile, I decided to honour the finest men in this World Cup in the form of a top5.

5. Portugal's Raul Meireles

Being young and balding might a kinda crummy combination, but Meireles actually pulls it off quite nicely. Admittedly, he's a bearded Portuguese man and I cannot resist bearded Portuguese men. And those tattoos are really hot... it might sound contradicting but I hate most tattoos. Raul's actually suit him and make him even hotter. Probably because he isn't handsome, but hot in a thuggish way (I love hot thuggish men).

4. Spain's Gerard Piqué

He gives me that Jake Gyllenhaal vibe for some reason, but I find him much sexier than Gyllenhaal. The beard, the eyes and the "rape me please" face. And the body. And... hell, everything, Piqué is amazing in every aspect. Seeing him on the pitch makes me feel like sexually molesting him. I only didn't rate him higher because the top3 is mind-blowing. The whole rumors of him being gay just added to my fantasies and made me love him more.

3. Italy's Daniele de Rossi

Having to order the top3 is a rather pointless endeavour, the guys are simply incredible. I could as well have picked a random order - DDR is number 3 but that doesn't mean he's undeserving of being number two or one (in fact, I think I might be in love with him). He's kinda of a young Daniel Craig, one of my favourite men ever, period, except he manages to look BETTER than DC with his scruffy beard. He also has a penchant for stripping on the pitch (nffffff how can I not love him!), and from what we can see through the underwear, he's nicely endowed. Hot bearded Italian with a big dong who's into taking his clothes off: perfection.

2. USA's Carlos Bocanegra

Ahh, Captain America. He must be the one of the hottest Mexicans ever: Mr. Nice Guy look, beautiful eyes, nice hair, nicely trimmed stubble, great body hair, deliciously thick thighs, sure as hell can take photos, he looks great in every pic I've seen of him. Bocanegra (what a funny name) has got it all. He reminds me of those models in sites like All American Guys, being so perfect in every way it's almost like he's made of plastic. The only flaw I can think of is his arm tattoo, he is far too handsome to permanently mark his beautifully, smooth skin. Perfect people like him should not have tattoos.

1. Australia's Lucas Neill

Okay. Mr. Neill is incredibly hot, no question asked, and he is Australian - always a plus! Besides his amazing body (a tiny bit chunkier than the rest, something I appreciate), he's also got a more "mature" look - the others look young-ish-er, he actually looks 30-something and, well, I like my seasoned men, thank you very much. However, every dude in this top5 also has a nice face and a nice body. I gave Lucas Neil the top spot because he has something that sets him apart from the rest, besides having tried to fondle Cristiano Ronaldo's testicles:


Yeah, the ass. I can't help it... the moment I saw this pic in Kickette I knew Lucas Neill had earned the number one spot. Hell, I might add that huge booty to my list of favourite asses ever. Thank you so much for that gigantic ass, Mr. Neill!

Honorable mentions: Italy's Gianluigi Buffon (so HOT, I feel bad not including him in this post - should've made a top6!) USA's Benny Feilhaber (so damn cute, I wanna hug him to death, and he knows how to make fun of himself too! I love a good sense of humour), Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo (he would be in this top5 if he didn't look like he spent more time in the beauty salon than the girl he supposedly dates - the man's got one of the best pair of legs in this world), every goddamed Spanish player (in my fantasies they fuck themselves after the matches), the Latins Diego Lugano from Uruguay and Roque Santa Cruz from Paraguay, and you can't really forget David Beckham, even if he didn't play.

Most overrated: Iker Casillas. Can't see why the fuss surrounding him, really.

random tidbits

- I have an essay to write, but whenever I lay my eyes on the texts I have to read I fall asleep like a narcoleptic dog. Studying sucks.

- Brazil x Ivory Coast just ended and, wow, it was a damn bloodbath. Didier Drogba, being the tall sexy muscular black man he is, was the only redeeming feature of that horrendous team. Appaling lack of sportsmanship. Bad refereeing was also bad.

- I started watching True Blood yesterday with by boyfriend and I was obviously instantly hooked. Sam Merlotte is the sexiest American man on TV right now, holy Jesus what a fine man. I only watched the first 5 episodes and I'm dying to see the rest. Sookie's grandmother is IDENTICAL to my late grandmother, it's spooky.

- August is coming up and to all Mens Love nerds, like myself, it means one thing: NatsuKomi! Personal God and part-time manga artist Shoutaroh Kojima already reported that he's trying his best to come up with a new book for the event. Thankfully, he says that every Comiket and he never failed to deliver so far - let's hope he's able to keep that perfect record. Drawn muscle oyaji porn by Kojiman, what else could a fanboy ask for?

pseudoitalianism

World Cup started, with all the expected fuss and chaos. Nothing new here. Those damn horns make watching the matches a MAJOR pain (I was watching England vs USA and after a few minutes I felt the intense desire to MURDER an African), but if I had to choose the one thing that makes me rage the most about World Cup it would be Brazilians rooting for Italy. Really, EVERY Brazilian has some Italian on it, only having an italian family name doesn't make you a unique snowflake, or truly Italian for that matter. Seeing those douchebags with NOTHING remotely Italian on them, no tradition, no language, no connection other than distant ancestry and a name calling themselves Italians is cringeworthy. Funny how this goes in line to what I said earlier about Brazilians not really liking to be Brazilian!

I refuse to support Italy solely due to the fact my great-grandparents were born there. I bet if I moved to Italy they would treat me as a second rate citizen anyway, fuck Berlusconi and fuck Italy. I hope they drop soon. I'm rooting for France, because Franck Ribéry is mai waifu (so ugly, but so awesome <3), and (Brazilians will hate) Argentina, because I love Maradona (...even though seeing him naked might be a disturbing mindfuck) and Lionel Messi is a frigging monster.

patriotism and derrière

Despite the incoming faux-patriotic surge roused by the World Cup I cannot say Brazilians truly like being Brazilian. "Brazilianhood" is more of a sad fact of life you learn to accept, like earthquakes and religious fanatics. And I say that being of Italian-Spanish-Portuguese-Indian ascent, the most common possible ancestries here in São Paulo. I’m as ordinary a Brazilian as they come (sucky, eh).

We have some few good stuff in here. Food, language, Eddy Gordo and the butts. Brazilians tend to have great asses. But even when it comes to that very welcome quality, I don't thing we are number one. Even though my favourite men in this world are Australian, Scottish, English and Mexican, my current favourite male behinds are from a Spaniard and two Americans. No Brazilians included.

The Spanish butt is from Rafael Nadal, who I would guess doesn't require further commentary (Nadal wedgies For The Motherfucking Win, his wedgies are the sole reason I even know there exists a sport called tennis).


The Americans butts are from a random gorgeous camguy called Jesse Gates (here's a naughty video) and the Patrick Kerney. Kerney's butt must have been handcrafted by God himself, seriously - it's my favourite in this world. In fact, I'd say football players have the sexiest posteriors ever, followed closely by rugby players. Lovely how all those manly sports are non-existent in here - instead we have god-damned FOOTBALL and all those hideous looking players as the national passion. Ugh.
(although... I have to admit there's a handful of good looking football players, none of them from Brazil, obviously - it's like Brazilians have to be facially deformed in order to perform well in the pitch)


I really can’t think of many Brazilians who can compare to Kerney, Jesse and Nadal, and I'm subject to several hot behinds every day. The closest one I can think of is this massive booty from this tall hot blond guy from work. Clearly Brazil is outclassed even in its greatest asset... but, well, it's World Cup, we're the football country, go Brazil! ...oh God, why was I born here. *sigh*
