esta é a moldura em que estou a colocar o meu recibo de vencimento de abril. um documento extraordinário - à uma alínea com o "prémio de desempenho" relativo ao exercício anterior segue-se uma outra com a "indemnização por despedimento". vou emoldurar a coisa, porque tenho uma enorme tendência para me esquecer do essencial [cf. aqui].

isto não é uma revista

Toda a gente tem três vidas: uma vida pública, uma vida privada e uma vida secreta

- Gabriel García Márquez, na capa da Vanity Fair de Maio

Milagre, diz a Rolling Stone


Beam in to the future
From the palm of your hand
Why in the world would you want to do that?


Ride out to the station 
Stare out into space
Why in the world would I want to do that?


So I was a young and modern guy, wasn't I?
So when did I cease to see the light?

Maybe you were right
Maybe I’m all dried up inside
Maybe I’m not built for these times
Maybe I don’t know how to live


You've got a working illusion
In the palm of your hand
Why in the world would you want to lose that?


I clung on to believing
Just as long as I could
How in the world could you fail to see that?


Hasta luego modern guy
When did I cease to see the light?
And maybe you were right

Maybe I’m all dried up inside
Maybe I’m not built for these times
Maybe I don’t know how to live
Maybe I don’t know how to live

They sat together in the park
As the evening sky grew dark
She looked at him and he felt a spark tingle to his bones
’Twas then he felt alone and wished that he’d gone straight
And watched out for a simple twist of fate

They walked along by the old canal
A little confused, I remember well
And stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burnin’ bright
He felt the heat of the night hit him like a freight train
Moving with a simple twist of fate

A saxophone someplace far off played
As she was walkin’ by the arcade
As the light bust through a beat-up shade where he was wakin’ up,
She dropped a coin into the cup of a blind man at the gate
And forgot about a simple twist of fate

He woke up, the room was bare
He didn’t see her anywhere
He told himself he didn’t care, pushed the window open wide
Felt an emptiness inside to which he just could not relate
Brought on by a simple twist of fate

He hears the ticking of the clocks
And walks along with a parrot that talks
Hunts her down by the waterfront docks where the sailors all come in
Maybe she’ll pick him out again, how long must he wait
Once more for a simple twist of fate

People tell me it’s a sin
To know and feel too much within
I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring
She was born in spring, but I was born too late
Blame it on a simple twist of fate

your heart dances at a speed i'll never know
your heart dances leaving mine out of control

you and i, etc

Open to everything happy and sad
Seeing the good when it's all going bad
Seeing the sun when I can't really see
Hoping the sun will at least look at me

Focus on everything better today
All that I need and I never could say
Hold on to people, they're slipping away
Hold on to this while it's slipping away




how does it feel, how does it feel


[Letter from Laurence Olivier to Vivien Leigh, in 1939]

I do not think there is a solitary second when my mind is not completely buried in you. You are really on my brain – I suppose if you happened to represent something dangerous I should be locked up – but no it’s not quite like that. I am not always thinking sweetly of you. I am thinking angrily or indignantly or sulkily, quite often, but I am never not thinking of you. More often than not I am just worried about you, concerned and distressed about my baby lamb being tired or unhappy – and of course often it is with mad, mad passion and sometimes it is naughty, sometimes, only sometimes is it dirty or even sadistic…You are all over me, in sorrow or in joy, all of the time – O yes in drunkenness too, in conversation, in work, with every breath and heart-beat.

um disco a que regresso frequentemente e que verdadeiramente me emociona sempre como se fosse a primeira vez.

oh my baby, don't cry / oh my babe, just say goodbye / oh now baby, don't cry / oh my babe, at least we tried
