A "certain" sense of liberty

I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty
I don't care cause I'm not there
And I don't care if I'm here tomorrow
Again and again I've taken too much
Of the things that cost you too much
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun...

When I was a very small boy,
Very small boys talked to me
Now that we've grown up together
They're afraid of what they see
That's the price that we all pay
Our valued destiny comes to nothing
I can't tell you where were going
I guess there was just no way of knowing
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun...

I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty
The chances are we've gone too far
You took my time and you took my money
Now I fear you've left me standing
In a world that's so demanding
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun...

Pearls of wisdom

"We change, grow and relationships, if they are to meaningfully
continue, have to change, grow too. That goes for man/woman relationship, marriage too.
These are just thoughts on the topic. There is a certain amount of
sadness that goes with the letting go of old friendships, like when we grow out of old, beloved, comfortable clothes.
But that is the price of living and growing."

Escrito pela minha amiga V a proposito de ruminacoes histerico-comicas durante uma sessao de fotos. A hyper era eu, a fotografa era ela. E nao concordo nada com photoshop'ing. Nada mesmo.

Lessons from the Dance Floor

Hoje tive uma ideia…e bem mais maluca que a do Peter que acha que os casamentos deviam ser como as cartas de conducao, os passaportes ou os cargos politicos. Ao fim de 5 anos (seriam 5 ou 3?) a validade/contrato acaba e tem de se renovar. Renovar com ou sem renegociacao das clausulas, mas renovar. “Just watch how many people would go for a second term, just imagine”. Que tal? Ja a Jessica era da opiniao que todos deviamos nascer reversivelmente estereis e que, dadas certas e determinadas provas de competencia (quais?), seriamos admitidos ao programa de desesterilizacao e poderiamos recombinar (e parir) a vontade. Que tal? Melhor? Bem, isto era apenas o amuse bouche para a minha ideia, que surgiu depois de participar numa aula de salsa em que a boazuda da professora volta e meia dizia (para desespero de quem ainda estava a tentar aprender o passo com o par do momento) “rotate leaders!!!!!!!!”. E la iam as meninas para o “leader” seguinte. Entao a ideia seria… os homens tinham casas, carros, frigorificos cheios de comida, cartoes de credito, vontade e paciencia. E as mulheres rodavam. E tinham tambem montes de paciencia e nao reclamavam (muito). A variedade (para o bem e para o mal) era o antidoto do estar por estar. Quem estava mal ansiava pela proxima rotacao e nao stressava muito. Quem estava bem sabia que a seguir iria para pior e entao aproveitava ao maximo. Todos ganhariam. Simples.

Assunto serio, serissimo

Ora ai esta, o verdadeiro negocio da China. Por este andar vai ser dificil alguem conseguir recrutar doentes para ensaios clinicos sob os auspicios de FDA. E que nao tenhamos duvidas, se a fe move montanhas, a promessa de umas celulas estaminais (nao importa quais, quantas, onde nem porque) move fortunas.
Escreverei mais tarde e mais a fundo sobre esta obscenidade.

Feliz Ano Novo

E Portugal esteve optimo, ceu azul, sol, compras, caras conhecidas e caretas e carantonhas, risos, caipirinha de blackcurrant vodka que substituiu o apple martini que nao se faz, pes frios, Lisboa, powerpoint, foto do Jose Maria Pimentel, moliceiros, homeopatia, esclerose lateral amiotrofica na primeira pessoa, orquideas para a vovo, almendrados, desculpas, casa do alentejo, aeroporto.

A vida ja segue deste lado, corridinha, sem resolucoes absolutamente nenhumas.
