"I Know I'm Going to Die So My Revenge Is Living Well"
26/8/2007

25

Yes she used to,
I guess I did too,
as if for a moment I could get way up high
shake up the past, be part of the sky
 
But then again you can't take my soul away
never gonna be nobody anyway,
 
So as if 25 was all that was left,
then 26 would be a rest
as if storms would chose to strike
in only a perfect day, a lovely night
 
Then I guess life made me prepare
for the things I wanted and things I heard swear
not for a moment fooling my own heart
one day you're together, the next you part

10 Reasons (not) to Quit

First, you're never too sure of what tomorrow will bring.
Second, it's never a guarantee that you'll actually be here tomorrow.
Third, sometimes you win, sometimes you don't and that's a fact. 
Fourth, there's no such thing as being happy all the time. Sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down.
Fifth, you're only getting older every day.
Sixth, if you ever lose the ability - or never had such thing - to laugh of yourself, then you're in for a hard time.
Seventh, you'll never be absolutely sure of anything all the time. Sometimes you're pretty sure, sometimes you're pretty sure it's not.
Eighth, there'll always be people you trust that will fail you and there will always be others who will be there in your toughest hour.
Ninth, things such as fashion clothing, big expensive cars and everything that will change the way you think or feel about yourself are not quite the same as buying yourself a way to be happier.
..the last one will be in the form of a question. What have you done to change your life today?

No Regrets

9th of August and I've lost count of how many days have gone by without a hug, a kiss or a friendly word in person.
It's a strange thing, when you've lost count. Somehow it makes time so small and relative, as if every single day was a replica of the day before.
 
Can't say I'm lost or confused either as things do usually turn out just fine, but the single idea that in three weeks I might be out of here is in a way as scary as having the same day after day for I don't know how much longer.
 
It's in moments like these, where we all need a friend, a shoulder, an advice that every "friend" is missing, having their own Summer fun, oblivious from what you're going throug and better - not even making the slightest effort to find out.
 
Loved you all, now I'm gone!

Beautiful people, twist up in arms and dive!

 A.K.A. the reason why I love to keep my old cd's.
 
I have this theory:
 
Some day, when I'm older, I'll be able to be surrounded by my kids and rest of the family but also by the books and albums that in some way made me feel a certain way when I was younger.
That's the point about this post, where I share with you all some of which I think are some of the best, most energic and reactive musics that were ever produced in the end of the 20th Century.
 
It's somehow strange these days to turn on MTV and only see what I could qualify as.. well, not-so-interesting-music which leads me immediately to Zapping, reading or just breathe for a more fun and proefficient time than listening to "M'a bling yo, m'a big car, yo" or "Don'tcha wish your ass was firm like mine" and such quality lyrics that make me feel as if I was depromoted to worm status and now single-cell organisms are all considered "Artists" that create "Music"!
 
 
KoRn - Twist (Live)

  

 Marilyn Manson - The Beautiful People

  

Foo Fighters - Up In Arms (Live)

   

Nirvana - Dive (Live)

    

As far as teenagers go in my teenage days, this is as messed up as it gets.
There were other influent bands and singers, some more heavy, others quite more mellow, but the thing is that no matter how long I live, bands such as the ones I posted here will never go out of fashion.

To the grunge generation, these - Nirvana, Foo Fighters (I could include Bush too and a couple more) - are as good as it gets and are considered to be true legends.
To the messed up generation, bands such as Marilyn Manson, KoRn, Rage Against The Machine, Sepultura, Soulfly - just to mention a few from a quite wide audience - are also a part of our life, as I cannot forget the first time I watched a Marilyn Manson video on public TV and I was astonished on how twisted that "The Beautiful People" clip was.

Hope you enjoyed some of my dusty musical memories. Stay tuned for some updates later on regarding dusty crochet suggestions and dusty news from 1850!!!

Where?

They say we're Humans.
Eventually, between all the flashing lights, monitor radiation, burning eyes and hurt back from nights in a row "connecting" I kinda missed the point.
Where the fuck are we still Humans?
By the way, who invented the fucking concept and somehow translated humanity as an evolved species?
Sure, we have sparkling lights. We connect extremes in this world. We travel out in space.
But we're still stupid idiots that trade their lives for tastier trash food, poluted air and less freedom every day.
Sex is a trademark, banalized flag of our society and living days. Love is utopical and still either magically pure or inexistent.
Why do I even bother writing about common sense?
I won't, I'll sleep.
Somewhere out there, my dreams have better shapes, better places.
Somewhere out there, I'm still myself, rather further away from all this..

Sparkling

Is it cold outside your window?
The only thing connecting all our souls is this dark sheet and sparkling stars above our heads.
Ever missed something you never had?
Sure you did, I'm sure you have.
Hearts are pieces given away, some years ago, some today.
Ever wondered if that cold outside would take you high up, away?
And have you ever seen a set of eyes, sparkling as the skies?
Embebed in dark sheets, paradise.

Unfinished flights

There seems to exist two sorts of Angels.
White ones, associated with good, God, heaven, well-being, defenders of all kindness and good-will.
Their opposite, dark ones. Associated with luxury, rage, devastation of all that is pure and innocent.
I seem to slide between both.
As if it wasn't so obvious in my look that I am so much of both worlds, with so much passion, so much indifference. Somehow I tend to look above beyond the clouds, not contemplating the sky but something else I won't even bother to explain.
I always miss something. Someone. All and none.
The inquietude, my wings are there but I can't use them.

Take a second to visit, to listen and to feel inspired.
The future is in your hands, as well as the power to make dreams come true.

4 a.m. . .

I should be sleeping, I just don't want to.
Dreaming, I ought to.
I should stop reminding myself of all the casualties,
these so-called life's royalties,
fleeding around my waist,
If for a while I could feel its taste.
 
If for something not yet unseen,
trying too good, being too mean,
If then for nothing as it seems,
none are awake, all tangled up in dreams.
 
These eyes that soon enough will fade,
no matter how much I try to be awake,
will some night to come turn to shade,
to close within their smiling shape.
 
Most of these faces have too much lines,
from dusk to dawn, from truth to lies,
Though faces hide the final stand,
the real women, the real men.
 
In 7 minutes something I write,
about my time, about my fight.
In 7 minutes can I then say,
I've been alive, I've gone away.

Lost In Translation

Bob: Can you keep a secret? I'm trying to organize a prison break. We have to first get out of this bar, then the hotel, then the city, and then the country. Are you in or you out?
Charlotte: I'm in.

Dillusions

It's not as if eyelashes can lie but they do.
In between a blink or two, the looks we give, the words we choose.
Doors are open so we can walk by, sometimes a dream, sometimes a lie.
While entering in, a glance or two, a look above, a look for you.
 
You may have seen me there, someone new.
Look up to me, I'm missing too.
Though time may run, there's nothing to.
A place for me, a place for you.
 
Illusion calls by the end of the day.
And though it's late, you just can't stay.
Hour calls, my bed too.
A dream for me, a place for you.

Taking Time

It can't be all about love.
It can't be about friendship, life, money, smiles and tears.
It can't be all about those little things that qualify us as human, our tendency to emotionalize every single aspect of our existence.
To have a soul should be much more than we can possibly understand.
They say geniouses can change the world. I guess the world just pleeds for change once in a while, sucking in these people that call themselves geniouses.
Not every word is art, not every art has meaning nor does anything related to art needs to be complex. Complexity in art is nothing but an attempt to exclude the majority so that a minority can feel happy to understand something they usually don't.
I guess I can never try to be a genious. I don't like to make things too complex, too tight in people's minds. Damn, I don't even enjoy the fact that most people that consider themselves people per say act as if immortality was their special secret.
Well it's not. Well you'll die. Buried and forgotten forever.
Too cold, too realistic? Too selfish to put things the way they are, not painting the sky in bright magical colours?
Well I do paint things in magical colours. People, sometimes. Places, very often. Time, all the time.
You see it's all we've got.
Time, I mean.
Never sure how much, never too much anyway.
But it's all we've got to make a difference. Or no difference at all.
Because it can't be all about love, friendship, life, money, smiles and tears.
But it sure can't be all about time..

BABEL

Babel, last night in the movies.
Somewhat an indecision between Night at The Museum and The Departed.
The night before I got to watch Apocalypto. Quite intense, quite a director, since I never trusted Mel's performance as an actor. Braveheart, The Patriot are way too much the same story in different times but still too tragical.
I guess Mel likes to portrait the world as a tragic place. To capture the true essence of things, the way they are. So what if in Apocalypto you see a baby hanging upside down being held in just one leg? So what if you get to see people being cut open with a knive, their hearts out in the open in the Holy Man's hands still pounding and then their heads chopped off? The body pushed down the pyramid's stairs and the head too.
Nobody ever said the world was all pink and rainbows.
It isn't.
If we need to feel somewhat shocked, it's not just because of the atrocities that happened hundreds of years ago.
It's because, while watching that same movie, I felt that somewhere in the world, these days, things like these happen for cruelty.
That's what we should really think about.
 
Babel was a dubious experience.
It's definetely a worthy movie.
Though I tend to look at it with my "director sense" instead of "audience sense", or at least I did it that way last night, I feel it's too much of an attempt to make a "good looking movie". What I mean is that you pick up three stories (four if you wish) in three different places of the world.
As you may or may not know, Babel is somewhat related to the Bible and to the city of Babilone, meaning confusion, regarding the confusion of languages.
The movie is, itself, a confusion of languages. Americans, Moroccans, Japanese and Mexican (English, Moroccan, Japanese and Spanish) are the languages present in this movie from the Mexican Director, Alejandro González Iñárritu, known for his movie 21 Grams or 11'09''01 a movie that called on 11 directors from 11 countries to present 11 different points of view from the 11/09 events. Genious.
 
Still regarding Babel, with Brad Pitt in an excellent role, it's a movie that indeed regards confusion in the form of language and culture.
Though it focuses on strong issues such as racism, discrimination, fear, betrayal and loneliness - among some other intense questions, it also tells us that there is only one true language that is understood no matter what you speak or in what culture you live in.
The language of love.

So Often...

Often, I don't see it when I've been wrong,
And boy have I been wrong
Often, I woun`t need it `till it's gone,
But by then it's gone

Often, I make the worst decisions
Say that it's great when I know it isn't, so
It's happening so....
Often

Often, I won't wake up from a dream,
You know I love to dream
Often, I don't stand up for what I believe,
There's nothing left to believe

So often, I make the worst decisions,
Say that it's great when I know it isn't, so
it's happening so....often

I often wish that you were here,
I could know eventually

Do Doo Do Doo Do Doo Do
Yeah, Yeah

Often, I don't see it when I've been wrong,
And boy have I been wrong
Often, I woun't need it `till it's gone,
But by then it's gone

Often, I make the worst decisions
Say that it's great when I know it isn't, so
It's happening so....

Johnny & June

Go away from my window
Leave at your own chosen speed
I'm not the one you want, babe
I'm not the one you need
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who's never weak but always strong
To protect you and defend you
Whether you are right or wrong
Someone to open each and every door

But it ain't me babe
No, no, no, it ain't me babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe

Go lightly from the ledge, babe
Go lightly on the ground
I'm not the one you want, babe
I'll only let you down
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who'll promise never to part
Someone to close his eyes to you
Someone to close his heart
Someone to die for you and more

But it ain't me babe
No, no, no, it ain't me babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe

You say you're lookin' for someone
To pick you up each time you fall
To gather flowers constantly
And to come each time you call
And will love you for your life
And nothin' more

...It seems it was, after all...

25th Hour

It's now 25 and a while.
Not too much, just a while.
Been to three different Continents. Woke up in Sevilla, in Hong Kong, in the Caribbean more than once, in China, in Brazil, in Macau (oh Macau, how I miss Macau) and some other places. Sometimes I woke up alone, others not so much. Sometimes I woke up in love, other times not so much.
I've had blondes and brunettes, dark and bright eyes, I've had too much sexed up roulettes, I've had way too much free time.
I've been singing for more than 100, I've been singing for my own, I've been high drunken and buried, I've spent way too much time on my own.
I've never been too sorry, never made it all my fault, as the world just keeps on rollin' and this world is just my own.
I've made love, fucked and enjoyed it all. Slep with three in the same week and still never felt so alone.
If saints are not ashamed, then why should I feel blamed,
I live my life with no fault, my life is just my own.
Wrote a couple good things, a lot of crap too, never bothered with school that much, I like to live and sometimes I can be a fool. I've betrayed and been betrayed, I cried and cried I made. I don't regret a thing, my life is my crusade.
I called hookers my girlfriends, I've called motherfuckers my friends. I lied so many times, I paid for my own crimes.
Desired the forbidden, had the unexpected. Always had way too much reasons to smile, no matter how high I climbed.. and fell.
Not quite just flesh and blood, not quite just what you thought. Not much different anyway, not sorry, not today!

Strangers

If for some reason we forget,
the ones we loved, the ones we met,
If for some reason we forget,
If for no reason we'll regret.
 
If for some time we can't obey,
the ones we love and to the things we pray,
In no time can we say,
that we'll never find a better way.
 
If for no reason we can't kiss,
the ones we love, the ones we miss,
Then for no time can we keep doing this,
living in pain,  dying in bliss.
 
 
Note:
I don't live in pain. I don't miss. I don't forget, I don't regret, I don't take time to forgive the things in vain I give. I just like to write whatever the hell I feel like. No point, no address, no names, no meaning.
Nota:
Parabéns a nós querida! 9 meses e ainda lá em cima onde pertencemos ;) Je t'aime ma chérie!!!

Impossible

Impossibles are those little barriers you create around yourself to make you feel more real.
Impossible would be to wake someone from the dead.
Impossible would be to forget all the harm people do to you in your life.
Impossible is to grow wings and fly.
Impossible is to not dream of having those wings.
Impossible is to think that we're better than everyone else.
Impossible is to think we're not.
Impossible is a drop of water in the middle of a dry desert.
Impossible is a rainstorm in the middle of that world of sand.
Impossibles are little barriers you create around yourself to make you feel more real...

Stylish Conscience

24 years is not a lifetime, I am!
Yes, I am 24, and life still has a couple tricks waiting for me...
 
You know, once again it's all about timing. Even love, that thing that we all search for, supposedly associated partner of happiness is a question of timing. A corner a mere second too left and you just missed a chance, a shot on love. That's why it's so rare, why it's such an opportunity of chance to fall in love, to find the right person for you. It must mean something bigger draws us to each other.
You were a second too late, a corner too close but the timing was missed - I helped! - and yes, I thought and think about it but can we ever tell much from what we don't know?
No love comes without tears, without rage and no, I'm sorry, I don't know about tomorrow. I barely know about today as far as I'm concerned.
 
I had this dream:
An hispanic girl enters my room and looks me into the eyes - makes me feel that I'm her world - and I into hers. It's a sweet tender look that draws us close, a moment. And moments are all about that, a fling, that unforgetable moment where reality halts for a second and perfection is allowed into the world.
We then came close together but as we were drawn to touch each other, we both disappeared.
I guess I did disappear fisrt...
 
And life goes easy on me most of the time, as Damien so well sings.
I'm not that guy anymore, nor am I so different. I chose my own path and here I am. I feel so much better than so many "special" people I used to know in another lifetime. Don't get me wrong, some special ones are still in my heart, those special friends I had in some less happy days will remain in me.
I forgot and learned to forget, I don't care about my past - bartime stories that make people and myself laugh - and no, I don't even drink anymore. Nor do I smoke, I guess I'm just not me in so many ways - I guess I'm so much more.
 
To all that I matter to, I love you.
To all that envy me, somehow pretend to miss me, call yourselves friends without being, FUCK you!
 
That's about it...

Start Again

Days that begin with the sense of displacement are never easy to get around.
As night was falling down and I was laying on my so very fashion sofa watching a vanilla sky - don't I love them too damn much? - I got to figure that it had been long since I had a day like that. No matter how supposedly depressed I was in any other time, that moment was the very peak of my lowdowns, of my moments to myself where I could just feel sorry for myself all day long - Well I didn't! Idiotic waste of time, moment of weakness, moment of pure egocentric emotion - I got up, took a shower, had something to eat and went out.
Out because this week the new students arrive to my university and party won't stop - let's party then.
Another beer, something else from a friend, a group of 15 girls grab me violently - they're being commanded by the older students that somehow found that funny - I drink another sip from my half torned glass of beer and ask "where are these from?" and just smile, no matter that I got all wet with beer, no, I smile because I'm winning, I've turned it around - I'm no longer laying down somewhere else to die.. I'm very well alive!!
My eyes chase you around, even if I'll never get to know your name and you won't know mine and yes, I chase you because you've looked first, you had the innocence and arrogance of a compromising look and smile, now  you're playing a game wthat will end with no winners, but I'll chase you as much as I'll make you chase me.
Childish games... life's little pleasures!
Friends drop by and we laugh - we laugh because the music is corny, we laugh because it's been a while since we were all together, we laugh because there's a bit of beer and not just, we laugh because we're relaxed - and relaxation is in a way, hapiness.
I find ghosts of the past - of my own and the most important people that orbited my world - for just a moment I seem to watch myself in the middle of a crowd, 4 years ago - has it been that long? - just a newcomer to this place, all painted but still having fun, another freak in the world of freaks.
Time is this cruel and funny thing. It will never repeat moments you've had - and that you don't have the power to recreate on your own - and it will still bring you replays of the past with some adjusments. After all it's fun too because I can always find a new detail.
The night comes to an end and the road ahead is still a long one - 20m quick walking - time enough to balance my day, for another cigarette - won't you quit? - and to notice you've just forgot about your sadness, about the moment on the sofa watching the sky, about weakness.
The day was conquered, not by a dictator, not by a mad king but by simplicity - the simple but also too complex thing that is the capacity of putting ourselves together!
26/9/2005

Do what you Must

The sad expressions, painted with no colors at all - a black and white portrait of my days.
This is where I find myself. Sitting on my so very fashion floor of my so very fashion new place, staring outside a window that offers me the most amazing vanilla skies, the most amazing sunsets and yes, I feel inspired to create.

My black and white days are sometimes painted by drops of ink, things that most of you won't really get because they're my own - every single thing is our own even when it's shared.
I don't let myself get lost in the banalities of life any more.. every moment has a meaning, every thought as a place and time to be and yes, every thing is analysed before I pack it up and put it in the drawer of my own self.

Every now and then people change their way in an almost radical way, an attempt to renew themselves - they give space to new ideas, new behaviour, new dreams. My dreams aren't all new, they're mended pieces of dreams I had before. An adjustment here, a cut over there and yes, I dream and daydream every single day.

Seasons pass, people are born, people die.. this is indeed our fate. We all know that we will die some day - maybe today, who knows? - and still all we can get out of life are banalities - a job, a car, house to live, nice clothes, a status quo.. where does our soul fit in the middle of it all, I ask?

I work because I want to, because I somehow must and actually, because I usually enjoy it - being good at what I do. I won't work to cover the flaws in my self, I won't dress my soul in Armani and disguise its smell with Roberto Cavalli's eau de cologne (my favorite, by the way). No - I refuse to bend over to a world that lacks any real authority.

My soul is my own, so is my body and my life - I'll do whatever the fuck I wish from it as long as it makes me feel good about it.
Apologies to all of those I've hurt in my road - you know you had to go and if I didn't let you stay it's not because you're not good enough, it just wasn't ment to be! I'm not always easy to deal with, you know that! ;)
Apologies that I won't really ask, I'm just giving them away, because nobody ever apologised to me either.. neither should anyone do it..
After all, you just do what you got to do..!

23/9/2005

Mornings..

The day lights up again - my miscelania of feelings invades my soul for a change.
As I walk to my work, these 15 minutes of pure freedom where me and the music are best friends, where some song, no matter what, takes me in its arms and elevates my morning mood.

Today I know exaclly how I woke up - some feelings from 2 days ago, from yesterday, from today, they all filled me up in this huge apparent good/evil mood - and arrogant, and with the strongest Ego!
I pity the mediocrity this morning, those that complain to never accomplish anything when they try nothing. I pity the mediocrity of children that are too old to be children, that play games that I've seen, played and now just consider to be too fucking old for that shit. I pity the attempts to be fashion, the attempts to step out of mediocrity for the wrong reasons, I pity missunderstandings, I pity all the bitches..


No baby, you won't make me feel jealous, you won't break me in any possible way - maybe you think you can, but look inside you - too weak, too self-involved, too eager to be a star, too eager to be loved by someone. And trust me, I do care for you - a lot - but that doesn't mean that you're not another little girl posing as a bitch. And you should know how much I despise bitches..

Moving forward - or backwards - I finally admit the changes. No regrets and I feel I can be hit at any time, by any one.. to fall deeply and hopelessly, but it will take a lot of things from someone to accomplish such a thing - I've been too involved with too many lately to accept this idea lightly.
Too demanding, too arrogant, too nice, too evil, too little cliché and too little comfortable with the mediocrity of a evening passed amongst "friends" - though some friends were there.

Flavour of Perfection

Their eyes stopped in each other's for a second. In that glimpse the flame called desired lit both their bodies.
Sweat began to form in their skins as they knew the only logical step would be to kiss the flame away. He held her in her arms and pushed her strongly against his body.. she flickered for a moment - the moment where possession is inevitable. Their lips touched with all the strenght of passion, for their desire had been alive too long to stand it, too intense, too much for one soul to bare.

He kissed her neck as she grabbed him by the hair.. the sweat now formed in all corners of their skin, as she pushed him violently against the wall and kissed his already partially naked chest, too visible by his half buttoned shirt. His skin was soft and each kiss from her felt like a million bites of desire, each touch of her soft tongue, each passionate and deep look they switched..

He took her high in arms and gently laid her in his bed.. her skin and the soft sheets were made for each other, as much as both of them were too - too made for each other to be understood by the common mortal.
As he slowly undressed her, the peaceful moment of cumplicity in both their staring looks came to itself. That was not sex, not desire, not passion - no, that was much more, it was all together and nothing that can be named.

They kissed again, their naked bodies in a single harmony, as if such a moment had never happened in their whole lives, as if the hand of perfect creation was present.
The looks, the aroma, the skin, the sweat, lips, looks again.. as it all came to an end they finally had found a slice of peace, a bit of heaven.. to rest in each other's arms.

L'arrogant

I have my very own, very particular, very special way of seeing the world.
Not many people that crossed my road noticed this - let's be honest, not even people that supposedly loved me or that I supposedly loved back noticed it. I'm not mortal as most of them, I'm not flesh, bone, blood..
I'm just the inside, the light and darkness, the beyond.. too arrogant to waste my time and make you see the beyond.
In my lonely hours I contemplate the sky, the void in my eyes, the stars and beyond.. I wash my tears in their light, as if they're witnesses to my days of depression, joy, love and hate.
 
Hang on to your IQ...
I hate your mediocrity, your so-called philosophy of life, too cliché, too empty of content, too shit for me! You see, the disgrace is not mine, as I have my very own, very particular way of seeing things - I was born that way and never had to get pieces of spirituality, glue them together and pass them as my own..
 
I am my own prison, even if I'm to stand inside my cell alone for eternity, but I'll never be mediocre, I'll never be empty!
