I'm brazilian.

I live at Amazon rainforest. Every morning my monkey pet and my blue Macaw wake me up, reminding me to praise our dear lord Pelé, listening and dancing Samba. After my daily ritual, it's time to play football in our beloved capital, Rio de Janeiro, with my cousins Ronaldinho and Neymar. So, when I'm just chillin' at Copacabana beach, lots of gorgeous chicks wearing bikinis just show up on a 122° F sunny weather. Thank Pelé I'm brazilian.
