The man i love

Someday he'll come along
the man i love
and he'll be big and strong
the man i love
and when he comes my way
i'll do my best
to make him stay


(...)

Such a beautiful song of hope that was not causing any effect in me lately. But now... now "i'll do my best to make him stay" makes all the sense. The best part is that it seems he wants to. And just for that i get touched and love even more the man i love. 

Take the sweet side, please

If only she was not too romantic and could mislead the bitter one. The best and the worst thing in life is the love - in a wide way.

The poetry

"Poetry, you are asking me what is a Poetry,

while you put your eyes on me

Poetry is you"

[Antonio Machado - poeta sevilhano]

The question is: even if it's through a webcam? :P

I want my réveillon back!

I wish in 2010 i could put all the people that i really care together in the world and then just stay together, but I guess that it wouldn't work. Someone would leave. Someone always leaves. Then we would have to say good-bye. I hate good-byes. I know what I need. I need more hellos - and ordinary kisses in the subway.

Now he's gone away...- breaking paradigms

When i think about an urban fairy tale, i think that, to be one, it has to be impossible (here i go again), unexpected and, of course, magic. It has to make you believe at the same time that everything is possible too, even if it's quite confused in the beggining. Has to have good tune, nice vibration, kind words and gestures mixed with wonderful kisses under the twilight... with some luck, even fireworks!

Some Selma's pearls

- You know what? If one day you wanna talk to Nizar seriously you should ask him to stop making jokes cause he's aaaalways making it, so if you ask him maybe he can tell you the true about something. Maybe. (he could not believe that she told this about him, haha)

\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

- But you're grown up, why do you need a visa?!?

\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

- Selma, how's going the things at your new school? More friends than those 3?

- Nope, I HAAAATE make new friends!

- Oh, don't say that! See, it wasn't difficult with me, right?

- But you're not my friend, you are my aunt!

\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

- What do you wanna be when you grow up?

- What do you do?

- I'm a lawyer, would you like to be one too?

- What lawyers do? They can work in an ambulance?

- No, but you can be a nurse or a doctor then

- Oh, i know, i know... ah, do you know the president?

- Yes

- So I wanna be the BOSS of the President!

- HAHAHAHAHA

Nizar's comment: to be the boss of the president she just needs to be the first lady! \o/

Blurred

You look like a perfect fit for a girl in need of a tourniquette.
'Cause I can tell... you know what it's like.
A long farewell of the hunger strike.

Closures

- is a psychological process. when you have a problem with someone or went through a bad experience like loosing a loved one, you need to express your feelings and go through them and then at a point come to terms with it so that you can close that chapter and move on. it is called closure and it is very important for emotional and psychological health. (...) i tend to drag my emotions rather than sort them out. when i love i love a lot! and when i hate i hate a lot. plus i am scorpio so i am fiercely loyal and it takes me a lot of time to get over relationships, i mean i still have issues with how my relationship ended with them and that weighs on me.
- in wich way? do you think you would like to continue these stories?
- not sure, i feel i have a lot to say, and there is a lot i need them to explain to me, but, yes, i also feel that they have a part of me that i want back. and i also feel that i miss those special things that they provided and want to have them. i want to feel what i used to feel with them. it is pretty complicated.
- When you say: "i also feel that they have a part of me that i want back" it means that you want to live everything again?
- not live it again, it is just that i am a very privage person, and it takes a lot for me to open up to people, so when i do and then they leave me, i feel like a part of me is with them
- it's beautiful
- and that hurts
- yes, I know
- i'm glad you think so
- i thought i was scaring you away from me!
- can be!;)
- but I know what you mean. I wish I don't. (...)
- oh, have as many closures as you want honey, just don't close on me.

Jordan is just around the corner!

That's the way it is when you can count on someone.

So good to know. So good to have it.

My world, my words

If there's happiness, the word "thoughtness" should officially exist as well.

If one of the most cool virtues to me is to be thoughtful, what make me rrrreally happy, I order the existence of this word - at least in my world.

:)

Is love always possible?

I hope so. My few certainties are that he's an amazing explosive combination of homus and pasta that fits me sooo well and that we learned from each other to look straight ahead because life is too precious to keep living in the past.
We are a fate's challenge!

While I make fun saying 'I love you, besides you being this way',
he says 'I love you, while you are this way'.
So he left, but he's still here.

Things to remember

If it's meant to be it will work out.

"I feel I was never able to forget anyone I've been with because each person had their own specific qualities. You can never replace anyone. What is lost is lost. Each relationship, when it ends, really damages me. I never fully recover. That's why I'm very careful with getting involved because it hurts too much. Even getting laid I actually don't do that because I will miss of the person the most mundane things like I'm obsessed with little things (...) You can never replace anyone because everyone is made such beautiful, specific details."

"I guess when you're young you just believe there'll be many people you'll conect with. Later in life you realize it only happens a few times."

- Before Sunset, the movie.

"Things are going to happen whether you worry or not. If we are meant for each other then nothing will change how we feel about it; if we are not meant to be with each other than nothing will protect against us going our different ways. Then let's leave it at that and stop worrying about where things are going."

- Sinbad, my pet shrimp thinking.
[And he learned it all from me, but I was almost forgetting! :P]

Little Joy

I was very curious to hear them and finally I did to their brand new album.

By far the best song to me is "Brand new start".

Gruda. It keeps echoing in your head.

"there ain't no lover like the one I've got
ain't no lover like the one I've got"

Viajar é preciso

“Um homem precisa viajar. Por sua conta, não por meio de histórias, imagens, livros ou TV. Precisa viajar por si, com seus olhos e pés, para entender o que é seu. Para um dia plantar as suas próprias árvores e dar-lhes valor. Conhecer o frio para desfrutar o calor. E o oposto. Sentir a distância e o desabrigo para estar bem sob o próprio teto. Um homem precisa viajar para lugares que não conhece para quebrar essa arrogância que nos faz ver o mundo como o imaginamos, e não simplesmente como é ou pode ser. Que nos faz professores e doutores do que não vimos, quando deveríamos ser alunos, e simplesmente ir ver”

Amyr Klink

Livre tradução meia boca minha: :P
"A man needs to travel. By yourself, not through stories, pictures, books or TV. Must travel by your own, with your eyes and feet, to understand what is yours. To one day plant your own trees and give its value. Feel the cold to enjoy the heat. And the opposite. Feel the distance and the homeless to be fine under your own roof. A man needs to travel to places that has never been to break his arrogance that makes see the world as imagined, and not simply as it is or can be. What make us teachers and doctors of things we haven't seen, when we should be students, and simply go see."

She's a big teaser

[Rio de Janeiro Station, BsAs, 13/03/2009]
She was a day tripper
One way ticket, yeah!

Myself disguised as an Argentinian with my new haircut that gives me the sensation of having my hair up in a ponytail, I don't know why!

Alcohol, misunderstood and stupid barman

- Are you going to post it in your blog?

- No! (after drink a pineaple juice with salt and be called unrelieble). Why?

- Cuz I'd like to.

Quoting Clarice's apple

"A coisa mais desapaixonadamente individual acontecia quando uma pessoa tinha a liberdade. No começo você é um homem estúpido que levou uma bofetada na cara e no entanto sorri beato porque ao mesmo tempo a bofetada lhe deu de presente uma cara que ele não suspeitava. Depois, aos poucos, você começa, sonso, a fazer casa e a tomar as primeiras intimidades impudicas com a liberdade: você só não voa porque não quer, e quando se senta numa pedra é porque em vez de voar sentou-se."

"The most dispassionate individual thing happened when a person had the freedom. In the beginning you are a stupid man who took a slap in the face and yet blissful smile because while the slap gave to this one a face that you couldn't suspect. Then, slowly, you start, furtive, take home the first innermost with freedom: you just can not fly because you don't want to, and when you sit on a stone is because instead of flying, you sat up."

"O bom de um ato é que ele nos ultrapassa."

"The good about an act is that it's overtake us."

- Clarice Lispector, em "A maçã no escuro" -

How happy is your hope?

[Line A, the oldest subway line in Latin America - BsAs, March 09]

Where there is beauty and leaving, there is pain.

Because my joys has been painfully brief in a giant world increasingly crowded with special people. The more special the person, the greater the pain of departure. But I don't say "the greater despair" anymore!

I believe that "everything is gonna be alright" someway, and "I gotta have faith"! Uff!

Li(f)e

Hoje um menininho de 7 anos perguntou qual era o meu sonho e eu não soube o que responder. Se eu dissesse 'pertencer' ele provavelmente me pediria mais explicações. Como ainda não lançaram Lispector para crianças, achei melhor dizer qualquer coisa menos complexa. Sim, viajar o mundo é um sonho, no entanto não deixa de ser a busca de um sentido maior pra isso que chamam vida.
-----------------
Today a little boy, who is 7 years old, asked me about which dream I'd like to come true and I didn't know what to answer. If I said 'belong' he would probably ask me further explanation. As we don't have Lispector for children yet, I thought better say something less complex. Yes, traveling the world is a dream, however it is a kind of search for a bigger sense for what we call life.

I know where beauty lives

And it shouldn't be so hard to find it.
[for so many years in my life it was always there for me.]

Need something bigger to distract myself of this useless feelings.
The real problem is that I wanna change some little things in a world and make the world a little thing. That's it. It could be a solution, but it's not yet. And I don't know if I'm able to do so. Only know that I'm tired. Very tired.
