Um grande Ano 2011

No outro dia "tropecei" neste vinil dos Waterboys que é um épico! (This is the See)
Já não o ouvia há muito tempo e tem rodado no meu Gira-Discos sem descanso.
Para acabar bem um ano excelente - e que o próximo seja no mínimo tão bom quanto este -
fica aqui este "The Pan Within" e tudo o que ele sugere.

Um grande ano desejo-vos eu.

Feliz Natal

O meu primeiro Natal com neve.

FotoBlog: Outono - Herbst

O Outono pintou as arvores de verdes, vermelhos e amarelos secos e fez dos caminhos uma cama de folhas.
Der Herbst hat die Bäume in einem trockenen Grün, Rot und Gelb bemalt und hat aus den Wegen ein Bett aus Blättern gemacht.

Let's hear you say you Love me

"Mom: There you are come down so I can talk to you.
Calvin: No, you'll kill us. We're running away."

"Mom: I'm not going to kill you. I just want to find out what happened. Are you ok? Was anyone hurt?
Calvin: No one was hurt. We were pushing the car into the drive ant it kept rolling."

"Mom: The car didn't hit anything?
Calvin: It just went across the road and into the ditch. That's when we took off."

"Mom: Well, the Ton Truck pulled it out. And there's no damage, so you can come home now.
Calvin: First let's hear you say you Love me.

A Boy named Sue

Assim fazem os Bons!

"Well, my daddy left home when I was three,
and he didn't leave much to my Ma and me,
just this old guitar and a empty bottle of booze.
Now I don't blame him because he run and hid,
but the meanest thing that he ever did was
before he left he went and named me Sue.

Well, he must have thought it was quite a joke,
and it got lots of laughs from a lot of folks,
it seems I had to fight my whole life through.
Some gal would giggle and I'd turn red
and some guy would laugh and I'd bust his head,
I tell you, life ain't easy for a boy named Sue.

Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean.
My fist got hard and my wits got keen.
Roamed from town to town to hide my shame,
but I made me a vow to the moon and the stars,
I'd search the honky tonks and bars and kill
that man that gave me that awful name.

But it was Gatlinburg in mid July and I had
just hit town and my throat was dry.
I'd thought i'd stop and have myself a brew.
At an old saloon on a street of mud
there in a table dealing stud sat the dirty,
mangy dog that named me Sue.

Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad
from a worn-out picture that my mother had
and I knew the scar on his cheek and his evil eye.
He was big and bent and gray and old
and I looked at him and my blood ran cold,
and I said, "My name is Sue. How do you do?
Now you're gonna die." Yeah, that's what I told him.

Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes and he went down
but to my surprise he came up with a knife
and cut off a piece of my ear. But I busted a chair
right across his teeth. And we crashed through
the wall and into the street kicking and a-gouging
in the mud and the blood and the beer.

I tell you I've fought tougher men but
I really can't remember when.
He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile.
I heard him laughin' and then I heard him cussin',
he went for his gun and I pulled mine first.
He stood there looking at me and I saw him smile.

And he said, "Son, this world is rough and if
a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough
and I knew I wouldn't be there to help you along.
So I gave you that name and I said 'Goodbye'.
And I knew you'd have to get tough or die. And it's
that name that helped to make you strong."

Yeah, he said, "Now you have just fought one
helluva fight, and I know you hate me and you've
got the right to kill me now and I wouldn't blame you
if you do. But you ought to thank me
before I die for the gravel in your guts and the spit
in your eye because I'm the son of a bitch that named you Sue."
Yeah, what could I do?

I got all choked up and I threw down my gun,
called him pa and he called me a son,
and I came away with a different point of view
and I think about him every now and then.
Every time I tried, every time I win and if I
ever have a son I think I am gonna name him
Bill or George - anything but Sue. "

Zeitgeist & The Venus Project

Achei importante dar a conhecer a quem ainda não conhece outros pontos de vista ou a necessidade de perceber que não há mal em mudar de ideia mas sim em não ter ideia para mudar, que existem por ai outras ideias que valem a nossa atenção. Talvez aqueles que não acreditam em Política, Religião ou no Sistema Social em que vivemos achem particularmente tão interessante quanto eu.

Meet your Meat

Já sou Vegetariano há algum tempo e nunca gostei de pregar ou dar lições de moral mas, gostava que vissem este vídeo e tirassem algumas conclusões.
Peço-vos que vejam o filme até ao fim e não fechem os olhos porque já é tempo de os abrirmos ao que se passa e tomar uma atitude que está ao alcance de todos nós. A unica atitude que não patrocina a reprodução de animais para o comércio de carne. Mais uma vez, não é a minha intenção dar qualquer lição de moral, mas lembrem-se que quando comem estão a tomar uma decisão que é vossa e a qual têm o poder de escolher. Esperançosamente depois de verem este filme - e caso sejam comedores e/ou compradores de carne - irão tomar uma decisão que reflecte sabedoria e compaixão.

"A compaixão para com os animais é das mais nobres virtudes da natureza humana." - Charles Darwin

Here Comes the Sun

"Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
And I say it's all right

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
And I say it's all right
It's all right"

Days like these...

Sexual Healing

"Oh baby now let's get down tonight.
Baby, I'm hot just like your oven.
Oh I need your lovin'
And baby, I can't hold it much longer
Now it's getting stronger and stronger
And when I get that feeling
I need a sexual healing, sexual healing
And makes me feel so fine
And helps to release the mind
Sexual healing, is good for me
Sexual healing is something that's very good for me

Whenever these blue teardrops are falling
Oh no and my emotional stability is leaving me
There is something I can do
Oh I can get on the telephone and call you up baby
Darling, I know you'll be there to relieve me
The love you give to me will free me
And if you don't know the things you're dealing
Oh I can tell you darling, oh it's sexual healing
Get up, Get up, Get up, Get up
Let's make love tonight
Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, Wake up
'Cause you do it right

Heal me, my darling
Heal me, my darling
Heal me, my darling
Heal me, my darling

Baby, you know I got sick this morning
A sea was storming up inside of me
Baby, I think I'm capsizing
Oh the waves are rising
And when I get that feeling
I want a sexual healing
Sexual healing
And makes me feel so fine, it's such a rush
And helps to release the mind, Lord- it's good for us
Sexual healing, is good for me
Sexual healing is something that's so so good for me

And it's so good for us and it's so good to me my baby, woohhh
Just grab a hold and take control
Of my body and mind soon we'll be making love
Honey, oh- -- fine
You're my medicine open up and let me in
Darling,
Darling, you're so great
I can't wait for you to operate

Ohh

Heal me, my darling
I can't wait for you to operate
Heal me, my darling
I can't wait for you to operate
Heal me, my darling
I can't wait for you to...
Heal me, my darling
Heal me, my darling
Heal me, my darling
I can't wait for you to...
Oh baby, whenever these blue teardrops are falling

Heal me, my darling"

Give me a Smile

"Why do I have to wear these dorky clothes and get my hair combed?!"
"Your Dad's going to take your picture. Hold still.
- I don't want to get my picture taken!"
"It will just take a few minutes. We're going to put the picture of you in our Christmas Cards so everyone can see what you look like now."
"What a dumb idea. Why are we doing that?"
"So we won't have relatives dropping by to visit.
- DEAR..."

"Ready? Ok, give me a nice smile."
"That's good. One... Two..."
"Three! CLICK"
"My hair's getting messed up dad!"

"I don't have much film left. So stop making faces when I take the picture, or your name's mud."
"You could've been done 20 minutes ago if you'd just cooperated. Now give me a smile and hold it for two seconds."
"CLICK"
"CALVIN!
- That was a smile! I smiled!"

A neve sentou-se no banco do jardim e pensou: "A memória é um estranho...acho que vou ficar por aqui um bom bocado!"
