Read the dial

It's a gift, a skill and a curse. Though I've been living with it for so long, that I can't even imagine my life without it. Being the body is like playing the front row and the secret to it is learning to enjoy the knocks. Actually, you can go left all you want, it's just not as efficient without a body! The power of the Hydrogen was created because of beer, but potentia hydrogenii is why you always need a body.


Throusers

They're my lex luthor, my melkor, my nemesis. I hate them and I hate shopping for them.

Treppenwitz

Started a new gig today: translating TED talks into Portuguese.
I get to choose whose talks I translate and this means that I can get the Kahneman's, the Zimbardo's, the Dan Gilbert's, the Levitt's and so on...
Should be fun! Specially because I'm not getting any money for it... haha! But hey, if it helps to get more Portuguese people inspired by these truly great minds, then it's payment enough!
So wish me luck!! Or curse me, it shouldn't make much of a difference...

Fission

There are sounds that I would like to know how to turn into words.
Those are the sounds that make grin, shudder, clench my jaw and flex my muscles.
Sounds that move me and take me into day dreaming.
An estimation of emotions with a variance of reality.
An hypothesis of memories. 
An illusory correlation embracing a peak-end rule.
"the blue bus is calling us"

"Broadcasting to all frequencies"

I normally spare a couple of hundreds of thoughts on you, per day

Pointless with emotion and style

I keep falling and bumping into things. It bleeds, it hurts, it heals, it goes away.
The thing about me and scars is they kind of stack themselves, like the books on my shelf: Zimbardo, Barry Schwartz, Morrison, McKinney, Joyce, ... It's like a huge orgy of memories!

Illusions

Nous sommes derangé toujours par des mirages, mais ça fait réver plus, et ça donne du courage! Je suis toujours pris au piège dans cette connaissance.
This is true in more ways than one...

Tix

Tix for Bon Iver ---> Check!

Friendly fire

It's kinda cool when out of the blue you bump into someone you haven't seen for two years and you're told that you look thinner! Specially if it's someone with whom you've travelled through 6 countries in two weeks, slept in cars, trains, buses, public parks (hihi!), camping parks and hostels...

Thanks Vera! See you in a year or so...

A feast for my friend

How to describe this weekend? Demonic? Destructive? Awesome? Maybe a bit of it all! I'll tell you what, really long time since I had this much fun... Best B-Day party ever? HELL YES!!! This was a 3-day b-day party, by the way... =) The sleep hours tally was less than 6, the beer and spirits' one was way above the advisable. Saw 3 straight sunrises, met close to 30 new people from different countries and backgrounds and lost 2 Kg (I'm close to 80 again! Haha!).
They say an image is worth more than a thousand words, but what about a video?



When it's past 7 am and you´re still in a club doing this, well let's just say that the bar has been raised a bit. But good things don't last long and reality calls: "the blue bus is calling us"
'Till next time...

Ordinary world

I told you how I woke you thinking about this music and how you made me feel bad about myself... I envy you!!!

Rated R

I may not be god's greatest gift to humanity, but that doesn't mean i'm "easy like sunday morning". Please don't mistake my lack of sef-esteem with something else, chica!

No heart!

I checked...

Fishy

There's something fishy goin' on around here!!


Thursdays=Youth

Eric Idle sang "life will get you in the end". This has a ring of fatality to it, specially because you'd think that death is what ends up getting you.
what you probably don't realise is that this was another way of describing Murphy's law, which for me makes much more sense with the corollary written by Brealey & Myers: "at the worst possible time".
Time? What about place? Does it really matter? Quite...

Enchufada

After a jar of sangria, godknowshowmany beers, 2 tequilla shots and 5 G+T's this sounded like bleedin' Bach!

Simple question

Do I look like I carry a pencil?

Atacama

The numbness of it is unbearable. But I laugh anyway. What more is there to do?

don't wanna give in
so we both gave up
can't take it back

March's fool

I dread this feeling.
I hate that I felt useless for so long.
I feel like I let you down.
There's no turning back.
There's no second chance.
There's just living with it.
Not that I would have done anything differently, just know that I recognize my weakness.
Like you, I'll soldier on.

Swing for the fence

"No buildings will fall down
...
No quake will split the ground
...
The sun won't swallow the sky
...
Statues will not cry"

The lyrics...
Dunno what to say...
Holy fuck!

Biedronka

I often thought that the best joint-venture between Portuguese and Polish was Biedronka... Wrong!

Silent night

It took most the greater part of my will power
To control meself today
I'll suffer silently for now
But shan't give up without a fight...

Predestined randomness

Maybe a bit too often, we redirect feeling and desires from one person to another.
T'is what psychologists call transference
There's no blow softener, there's just coping with an everlasting sense of predestined randomness.
