15. I do have to admit I'm rather curious about how we from Ireland will do now that we squeezed out of the threat of disenfranchisement. Given I honestly thought I would have had to move out to a different team (and I was pretty certain that team would have been Switzerland, I refuse to make any secret about my opinion) since I wasn't keen on representing anyone replacing my fave national team, it does feel rather nice that in spite of all troubles, we still get to don the mighty green, white and orange like I recall doing from my start on this league. Sure makes you wonder if we shall be able to pull anything good out of this, but the real goal for us this time around is surviving, making sure we have enough names to keep going and perhaps landing some key wins against the bigger teams if the possibility is out there. We got nothing to lose, after all.

23. I'm feeling rather stressed out, to be quite frank. Now, that's not to say it has anything to do with the SHL or anything similar, which it doesn't - it's more related to the Brazilian government, more specifically the people who handle the taxes. The first strike came last weekend - when out of nowhere, one of the functions on my bank account (Pix, which is like an instant payment/transfer system that the public bank Banco do Brasil has established recently) decided to stop working. I wasn't sure what went on, only to find out that it had to do with my CPF (think a person's registry number but in Brazil), which was listed as "regularization pending". Turns out that yours truly, who now has stocks in Bovespa (the local stock market) had to specify whatever money he had on the agency he's using to invest on. Nobody gets money out of me mentioning it, but because it wasn't reported in time, I had to pay a fine. Nobody told me about it earlier but the fact I had to wait a whopping full week before I had the slightest chance of using that system again is a bit of a shit state. Their system should update that sort of stuff as soon as possible.

Not to mention grandpa's tax report was deemed "wrong" by the state, which is fucking hilarious since I enlisted everything as it should. I decided not to go against the state and redid his reports (thankfully I didn't need to pay additional for it as well), but I also had to wait a week for that. Haven't even checked yet because I feel I'll just pop a blood vessel if I do. So yeah, if you ever get to choose a place to be born, choose somewhere better than Brazil.
