My name is ThinkBlue, a homage to my favorite MLB baseball team, the Los Angeles Dodgers. Another fact, my favorite color happens to be "Blue". Anyways, I enjoy watching television; My favorite shows are Will and Grace, 30 Rock, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Parks and Recreation. I take part in many different projects, such as professional wrestling and actors. Myself and NiciVampireHeart, that's right I said "vampire", are the cool duo, just to clear up any confusion, as the two of us are so cool, we have amassed a ridiculous number of good content by working as a team. That's it, so...
Machado de Assis (1839–1908) was a Brazilian novelist, poet, playwright and short-story writer, widely regarded as the greatest writer of Brazilian literature. In 1897, he founded and became the first president of the Brazilian Academy of Letters. He was multilingual, having taught himself French, English, German and Greek later in life. Machado's work shaped the realist movement in Brazil and the birth of the Brazilian republic made Machado become more critical and an observer of the Brazilian society of his time. Generally considered to be Machado's greatest works are Dom Casmurro (1899), Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas (Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas, also translated as Epitaph of a Small Winner) and Quincas Borba (also known in English as Philosopher or Dog?). In 1893, he published "A Missa do Galo" ("Midnight Mass"), often considered to be the greatest short story in Brazilian literature. This photograph of Machado was taken by the Brazilian photographer Marc Ferrez in 1890.Photograph credit: Marc Ferrez; restored by Adam Cuerden
