That is me with an Arara, a bird relative of the parot that appears in several colors. The picture was taken in Bonito, Mato Grosso do sul Brasil.
Exiled in the North
I am a Brazilian living in the US. I was born in São José dos Campos (Saint Joseph of the Fields), which happens house much of Brazil’s air and space industry. My parents met because of a university related to that industry. SJCampos is in a valley. Mixing the 2, I decided to sign as "Native of the Cosmic Valley"

About Me
- Name: exiledinthenorth
I am a dreamer and idealist but not out of touch with reality. I am not dangerous, but be aware for I have some unusual ways to think and act. I have two known innate handicaps, EDS (Ehler's Danlos Syndrome), and AS (Asperger's Syndrome). EDS is a connective tissue problem caused by naturally defective collagen. I have the classic type of EDS, which affects mostly skin, but my joints are weaker than average as well. AS is an autistic spectrum disorder close to high functioning autism. I tend to miss unwritten social rules and have a few interests that I ardently pursue and little care for all else. I am an atheist from a predominantly Roman Catholic family, and a bilingual dual citizen, born in Brasil and naturalized American. Like most of Brazilians, I am of a mixed heritage that defies ethnical and surpasses racial classification. I am a programmer, mostly interested in graphics, specially SDL and OpenGL and to a lesser extent in web programming mostly with J2EE based tools. Those wanting more information on that will likely find it on this blog. I am a politically very left of center specially on social issues and slightly less so on economic issues.

Yo, LC, a shout out from your bro!
I remember that trip pretty well, but I also would never have let that "arara" get a hold of my arms! Them birds can get pretty vicious, you know... The pic goes to show how brave you can be.
