Can you feel what's going on?

I'm coming up
I'm coming up
I'm coming up
I'm coming up
And the world ain't gonna catch me going down

Perpetuous Superboy

Depois de 9 "And now, the season finale of Smallville" 's, chegou o "And now, the final season of Smallville"! Também me parece que já era hora de o Superboy se fazer homem!

M Vs F

Daphne Binks: It was such a crazy day. I can't wait to watch, like, a hundred hours of Gossip Girl.
Aaron Green: Me, too. Or instead of that, we could go see The Pixies and The Mars Volta play a show.
(...)
Daphne Binks: If you stay, I'll have sex with you.
Aaron Green: I feel like you're blackmailing me with your genitals. That's not fair.
Daphne Binks: Well, then do it to me.
Aaron Green: Listen, if you don't go to that concert, you don't get any of my penis tonight.
Daphne Binks: I think I'm gonna stay home.
Aaron Green: Blackmail does not work with the penis. It doesn't work...

Our lives are defined by opportunities...

...even the ones we miss.

Benjamin Button: It's a funny thing about comin' home. Looks the same, smells the same, feels the same. You'll realize what's changed is you.

Livin' Life

Jesse: I don't know, I think that if I could just accept the fact that my life is supposed to be difficult. You know, that's what to be expected, then I might not get so pissed-off about it and I'll just be glad when something nice happens.

(estranha sensação de pânico quando acontecem coisas boas)

Facebook de Utilidade Pública

O tópico "utilidade do Facebook" dava para uma enorme discussão. Agora, seja qual for a sua utilização, sempre se vão partilhando mensagens, muitas vezes interessantes. A propósito de um discurso do presidente norte-americano, o "amigo" Prof. Jaime ressalvou as seguintes mensagens:

‎

"The truth is, being successful is hard. You won't love every subject that you study. You won't click with every
teacher that you have. Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right at this minute. And you won't necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try... That's okay. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who've had the most failures."

"J.K. Rowling's: her first Harry Potter book was rejected 12 times before it was finally published. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team. He lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career. But he once said, 'I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that's why I succeed....' "

É interessante registar... para recordar em qualquer altura.

We can never replace anyone...

...what is lost, is lost.

Hachiko

Não me lembro de chorar desta forma ao ver um filme, desde 1994. Curiosamente, com um filme que, na altura, expressava alguns valores semelhantes. A lealdade e o estar "presente" sempre, durante anos e anos, independentemente das "partidas" do destino. A ver.

Inevitabilidade em perspectiva

Bill Kincaid: I used to be so scared of this Summer storms. And then when I went East, I missed them. I was so frightened that I used to hide in the closet and cover my ears. I hated that. So I went to the library and I studied them. Learnt everything I could about them…

Janet: …and…?

Bill Kincaid: They still happened.
