remember not to forget

As musicas não param na minha cabeça, e sei o que significa.

Falo pra mim. Pra me lembrar de minhas palavras, que de certo vão mudar. Enquanto as musicas tocarem dentro da minha cabeça, sem que eu as escolha, sem que peçam licença, sei que ainda hei de mudar.

Me lembro de uma noite em especial. Uma noite fria, húmida e quase silenciosa, não fossem as musicas em mim.
A noite veio, e com ela o fogo, o frio, os barulhos e por fim, o fim das musicas, e o silencio. Elas pararam.

Ao reler meu caderno, encontrei por ali "e as musicas começam a parar na minha cabeça". Registrei isso, naquele momento. Da mesma forma que registro isso agora.
Muito barulho e arruaça se passa. As imagens gritam e cantam vivas com sons. Curtas metragens invadem o resto do espaço.
Trilhas sonoras.

Essa mistura toda que reciclo, registro e, provavelmente, encravo em mim.

A situação eh outra, o ambiente, a rotina e os desejos. Os caminhos.
Me ofereço possibilidades e ofertas. Estrago e rasgo algumas, cultivo outras. Mas de fato enfrento uma transição.

Personagens se espalham por ai, mas muitos morrem.
Outro dia mesmo, nas palavras de uma amiga, encontrei um sujeito, que não via a 10 anos. Seu jeito moleque ainda vive e sempre viveu dentro dela. Que brinca com brincadeiras de patos, com pessoas e ri de tudo. Que escreve coisas inesquecíveis em seu diário. Que gravou cenas em sua cabeça que jamais serão esquecidas. Um sujeito, certamente, fantástico. Um sujeito que da nome a um jeito de ser.

E quantos tantos não passaram por ai? Pra onde foi os que vieram depois? E certamente vieram.
Vivem por ai, nas cabeças e memorias de uns poucos.

Tenho que agradecer a ela. Talvez tenha sido ai, que sem nem mesmo perceber, tudo começou a mudar. Talvez.

Não ambiciono nada alem de mim. E não chame isto de egoísmo, mas muito pelo contrario.
Ser a própria ambição eh a busca que poucos se arriscam a enfrentar.

Um quarto vazio. Uma vista la fora. Um lugar que de fato existe.

Um zunido constante, que há de parar.

Target Train

Starts here when the mobile company T-Mobile decided to make a viral video in the Liverpool Street Station 11:00 in the morning on 15th January, with a dance which looks like improvisation but the choreography was practiced before. The action was advertised on indoors palate in the principals station all over London, had success and very fast it was spread on the internet. Such simple and fast idea couldn't be better done. 3.586.157 views in 1 month or less then these. Fantastic!

People from the Facebook inspired in the T-mobiles video decide to make another “flashmob” which was planed on-line, but now it became into a little problem. The Liver Pool St. station is tight for 14.000 dancers and it was closed for a wile because of the high number of curious. Whatever, nobody was arrested and no crimes were noticed. Another meeting is planning to be happen on Friday 13 on Trafalgal Square and these time we, form the Twelve0nine, are going to be there.

2 for 1

This is a sort of buy 1 get one for free post. I can start with a literary tip, recommending the book I've been reading for the past few weeks and than move on to another new wonder from the internet.

The book is "Franny and Zooey", by J.D. Salinger, which grabbed my interest after I read a review in a blog somewhere I don't remember now. Anyway, a long time ago I read "The Catcher in the Rye" and it instantly became one of my all-time favorite classics and I had always thought of reading something else by Salinger and now I've started doing so.


And now comes the second advice: I'm still in the middle of the book, but I'm already curious to understand a little bit more about it, so while browsing Wikipedia I stumbled upon this http://academicearth.org/ which is a site that provides videos from lecturers in some of the world's best universities teaching several subjects, from literature to physics, all for free and available anytime, anywhere. The video about "Franny and Zooey" is here.


Cheers,

Flat 1210 !!!

Yep! That's it! The Flat 1210 is available!!
I've just received a call from the rent agency, offering us the flat just besides ours!!

So, if you're interested, give me a shout NOW!!

The guy is calling me back late today.

Important communication.

If you see a woman or a man laying asleep on the pavement or on any floor please wake her/him up, perhaps she/he wants to go home but just doesn’t realize it until awake.

I’ve been sleeping on many trains & buses till the last stop but at least on comfortable seats;

I woke up in unknown places and experienced something new each time.

But laying beside a wall in a cold train station or bus stop in the middle of a crowded street is not a good rest and not at all an interesting experience.

I’m glad of having been woken up by strangers, and here I want to thank them.

Thank you all for letting me realize of being exposed in the cold and possibly being in danger but mostly thank you for having taken away from the pavement a man who just wanted to sleep and not be wasted.

Faithfully Yours
