The Theory of Competition

Here’s the thing that makes life so interesting:
The theory of evolution claims only the strong shall survive. Maybe so… Maybe so…
But the theory of competition says just because they’re the strong doesn’t mean they can’t get their asses kicked!
That’s right! (…) The other guy may in fact be the favorite, the odds may be stacked against you! Fair enough… But what the odds don’t know is this isn’t a Math test! This is a completely different kind of test! One where passion has a funny way of trumping logic!
So before you step up to the starting line, before the whistle blows and the clock starts ticking just remember that out here the results don’t always add up!
No matter what the stats may say and the experts may think and the commentators may have predicted… When the race is on all the bets are off! Don’t be surprised if somebody decides to flip the script (…).
And then, suddenly, as the old saying goes: “We got ourselves a game!”

Às vezes...

Leões e girafas

Hal: Well, let's say that since you were little, you always dreamed of getting a lion. And you wait, and you wait, and you wait, and you wait but the lion doesn't come. And along comes a giraffe. You can be alone, or you can be with the giraffe. What would you do?
Oliver: I'd wait for the lion.
Hal: That's why I worry about you.

Assobiando para o ar...

O amor e a paixão
Não têm nada a ver
Um arde sem se ver
O outro não

Talvez na tua fantasia
Talvez no teu sonho acordado
Quem sabe fosse amanhã o dia
De ouvir violinos no telhado

O amor existe

Vejo-o por toda a parte! Simplesmente... não o sinto. :)

So I say "go, go..."

You don’t understand me now,
I wonder if you ever will,
I wonder if you’ll ever try.
Don’t get sad about,
All the strange thing I wrote,
They faded as the ink dried…

So I say go, go, hold your fists high,
Grow, slow, stand in for the fight,
Though I hope you never have to.
So I say run, run, sparkling light,
Have your fun and then come home at night,
I’m sure you’ll tell me something new,
Yeah I can see the world through you.

Frozen lakes and night storms,
Most you’ll cross on your own,
You’ll face the biggest landslides.
I’ll catch you on the hardest falls,
I’ll carry you inside this walls,
We’ll sing through all the highest times.

Blue Valentine

Dean: In my experience, the prettier a girl is, the more nuts she is... which makes you insane. You're probably nutty coo coo crazy.

Cindy: What did it feel like when you found love?
Gramma: Oooooww... Oh dear... I don´t think I found it...

Oh Cone

Da forma como as coisas estão, começa a ser pertinente pensar em renomear o blog como " Oh Cone". Oh... :)

A Idade dos Porquês Revisitada

Não sei bem se é pelo facto de há muito não fazer coisas que fiz, basicamente, toda a minha vida ou se pelo facto de, recentemente, ter tempo para fazer coisas que há muito tinha esquecido. Não sei sequer se foi apenas o contexto que mudou ou se fui eu que, entretanto, também mudei. Seja como for, parece que voltei à idade dos porquês. Uma nova meninice. Uma descoberta permanente de mim próprio e do mundo. Tendo em conta que não é propriamente uma crise de meia idade, até que sabe bem. Agora... só gostava de saber é porque é tão fácil uma pessoa apaixonar-se pelo efémero, ao contrário do duradouro.

[P.J.: É caso para dizer: "Porquê, Morgado? Porquê? Tinha que ser assim?"]

Defeitos

- I don't know, ok? I don't know what my worst faults are, alright? I try not to think about them. I'm not pround of that. So just tell me! What the hell do I have to do to have another chance?
- You bail. When things get hard... you bail.

The beginning of something new...

The end of something is always the beginning of something else.

Happy New Year!

The End

Even children get older...

...por vezes, mais depressa do que reparamos. Por vezes, surpreendem-nos. Fui surpreendido.

As Time Goes By...

Time is never time at all
You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth
And our lives are forever changed
We will never be the same
The more you change the less you feel
Believe, believe in me, believe
That life can change, that you're not stuck in vain
We're not the same, we're different tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight
And you know you're never sure
But you're sure you could be right
If you held yourself up to the light
And the embers never fade in your city by the lake
The place where you were born
Believe, believe in me, believe
In the resolute urgency of now
And if you believe there's not a chance tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight
We'll crucify the insincere tonight
We'll make things right, we'll feel it all tonight
We'll find a way to offer up the night tonight
The indescribable moments of your life tonight
The impossible is possible tonight
Believe in me as I believe in you, tonight

E porque o Natal está aí à porta...

Second Chances

It's all about second chances and what you do with them. Because in the end, all you 've ever wanted is all you've ever had.

Why do I...

...little Joel?


Why do I...?

You've gotta chase the rabbit...

... if you want the tail.

Ao Som da Guitarra

É incrível como uma boa parte dos bons momentos que se passam nesta vida resultam de algo inesperado. Não obstante disso, a grande parte desses momentos são vividos com as pessoas esperadas. A reter.

Take a sad song...

...and make it better!
