And a good man, and a good woman/ Can't find the good in each other /And a good man, and a good woman/ Will bring out the worst in the other/ The bad in each other

o nosso pequeno principe.
Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.” ― Bob Marley

Self-portrait, pela mão da minha amiga Andrea



recomendou-me 1 colega. disse que estava viciado nele.
comprei para oferecer e estou cheia de vontade de o ler.
aqui fica a sinopse;


Em 2010, o jornalista Tiago Carrasco e dois amigos, o fotógrafo João Henriques e o cameraman João Fontes, decidiram largar os seus empregos mal pagos e concretizar um velho sonho: atravessar o continente africano de automóvel.

O pretexto que arranjaram foi o Mundial de Futebol, que se realizava em África pela primeira vez, mas a viagem seria muito mais do que um longo passeio destinado a celebrar o desporto mais popular do mundo - seria, sim, o maior desafio da vida destes três homens.

Este é o relato das emoções e das peripécias que Tiago Carrasco e os seus companheiros de estrada viveram ao longo desses 150 dias alucinantes, passados no deserto e na selva, em aldeias perdidas e nos bairros das lata de grandes cidades, em lugares vergados à pobreza e à violência e noutros onde a esperança subsiste apenas por milagre.

Até Lá Abaixo descreve-nos esta epopeia de 30 mil quilómetros, de Marrocos à África do Sul, passando por 21 países, que é também uma viagem interior aos nossos medos e à nossa capacidade de superar as maiores contrariedades. Uma lição de sobrevivência. E uma aventura inesquecível.

sinto-me 1 pinguim emocional.

que ao menos sejam verdadeiras as palavras da FE:

"Quem disser que se pode amar um só homem em toda a vida é porque mente"

de conversas idiotas e falsas presunções está o mundo cheio. diz-vos isto uma "pseudo revivalista, com a mania de que o que vem de londres é que é bom e sentimentos são para os cães", o que quer que isto signifique.

love song



I know the kind of thing that makes you laugh

The way you tilt your head for a photograph

What other guy knows you like that?

3 September 2011

To the crowd
To the world
You were so dry
And with the token bird I made
Send it to fly right to your side
With the broken wing you sailed
Oh like winter in July
A barren river wide
I'll pray for the flood
To wash on you
It's here I'll be with you

11 Memorable quotes for

(500) Days of Summer

#1
Tom: People don't realize this, but loneliness is underrated.

#2
Tom: It's official. I'm in love with Summer.
Tom: I love her smile. I love her hair. I love her knees. I love how she licks her lips before she talks. I love her heart-shaped birthmark on her neck. I love it when she sleeps.

#3
Rachel Hansen: Just because she likes the same bizzaro crap you do doesn't mean she's your soul mate.

#4
Summer: We've been like Sid and Nancy for months now.
Tom: Summer, Sid stabbed Nancy, seven times with a kitchen knife, I mean we have some disagreements but I hardly think I'm Sid Vicious.
Summer: No I'm Sid.
Tom: Oh, so I'm Nancy... [Pancakes arrive]
Summer: Let's just eat and we'll talk about it later. Mmm, that is good, I'm really glad we did this. I love these pancakes... what? [Tom gets up and walks away from the table]
Summer: Tom, don't go! You're still my best friend!

#5
Rachel Hansen: Look, I know you think she was the one, but I don't. Now, I think you're just remembering the good stuff. Next time you look back, I, uh, I really think you should look again.

#6
Summer: You weren't wrong, Tom. You were just wrong about me.

#7
Summer: I named my cat after Springsteen.
Tom: Cool... what was his name?
Summer: Bruce.

#8
Tom: Look, we don't have to put a label on it. That's fine. I get it. But, you know, I just... I need some consistency.
Summer: I know.
Tom: I need to know that you're not gonna wake up in the morning and feel differently. Summer: And I can't give you that. Nobody can.

#9
Tom: I love how she makes me feel, like anything's possible, or like life is worth it.

#10
Tom: What happened? Why - why didn't they work out?
Summer: What always happens. Life.

#11
Summer: Summer: We're just friends.
Tom: Tom: No! Don't pull that with me! Kissing in the copy room? Holding hands in IKEA? Shower sex? Come on! Friends my balls!

Play me a sad song
'Cause that's what I want to hear
I want you to make me cry
I want to remember the places that we left
Lost to the mists of time

invariavelmente, há dias
em que nos corre tudo mal.
hoje foi um desses dias.
quero que acabe.
só me apetece chorar.

"O valor das coisas não está no tempo em que elas duram, mas na intensidade com que acontecem. Por isso existem momentos inesquecíveis, coisas inexplicáveis e pessoas incomparáveis."
Fernando Pessoa

take it easy

tell me what you've done to me
can we please take it easy?
it be so lovely like a gloomy afternoon
to just take it easy with you.
...
can we please take it easy?
can we please take it easy?

Don't stop talking to me.
When you whisper something sweet
and we're riding home,
riding home in the evening and
I'm falling asleep.

Don't stop talking to me.
Don't stop talking to me.

em repeat



God knows
I've been taking a lot without giving back
God knows
I've been taking a lot without giving back

27 July 2011



And I know and you know too
That love like ours is terrible news
But that won't stop me crying
No, that won't stop me crying over you

We two are makers, just made this mess
Two broken hearts don't break any less
There's thieves among us, painting the walls
With all kinds of lies, the lies I never told at all

25 July 2011



I hope this letter finds you well
Been in the desert for so long
Sometimes I see faces
Comin' out of the dark
But love won't be leaving
It won't be gone until I find a way
No, love won't be leaving
It won't be gone until I find a way
I draw my name in the sand
In the hope it'll find you
Because love won't be leaving
It won't be gone until I find a way

24 July 2011



Tu estás para mim
Como Eu estou para ti
...
I know you better than you think I do
Don't worry babe.. this is why i fell in love with you
...
Baby I don't die without you by my side
As long as you return into these arms that burn
Baby I won't die just take a look inside
Into these eyes that burn, come to these arms that yearn
...
lembrei-me.

i'd give you all my love
i'd give you all my love
But my heart itself is broken
...
I could
dream of you forever
Under the shade of a Juniper tree
I sing a sad song of you and me
...
The sky above, the sky above
Is blue as your blood...

19 July 2011


...
They say they say they say
You're no good for me
But i know I know that's a lie
And since I'm slow sometimes
I just don't know anymore
But I never want to say goodbye
...
My love, my green eyed love
You know when push comes to shove
I need you, you're in my blood





Unrequited love is love that is not openly reciprocated or understood as such, even though reciprocation is usually deeply desired.

The beloved may or may not be aware of the admirer's deep affections.


Once again it's happening
All this love is unrequited
Twice the pain, the suffering
All my love is unrequited
Oh my love is unrequited

***

Somethin’ filled up my heart

with nothin’,

someone told me not to cry.

***

somenone broke my heart today


I'm standing on a stage
Of fear and self-doubt
It's a hollow play
But they'll clap anyway

My body is a cage

that keeps me

From dancing with the one I love

But my mind holds the key

palavras de um sábio

"...o amor é infinito enquanto dura..."
Eduardo Galeano em entrevista

17 May 2011

já tinha saudades tuas PP

Nunca se sabe o que é para sempre, sobretudo nas coisas do amor. E era uma coisa do amor, isto tudo. São tão estranhas as coisas do amor que não se compreendem por inteiro. Tem de se estar sempre a fazer suposições. Nunca se sabe como e até que ponto e até quando. Esta obsessão chega para impedir a vida, o amor pode impedir o amor, amaldiçoá-lo como um espectro.
