Não vivo pra trabalhar, trabalho pra viver...

Talvez das frases que mais tem andado pela minha cabeça nos últimos tempos.

Estava eu muito bem descontraído na festa de natal da minha, agora ex, empresa quando em conversa com um colega meu ele disse isto:

"Eu não vivo pra trabalhar, trabalho pra viver..."

Na altura pareceu-me bonito e profundo :D

Agora faz ainda mais sentido, tudo bem que eu nunca fui o tipo de pessoa que teve um trabalho super ultra desgastante, talvez só mentalmente por ser rotineiro, mas o facto é que uma pessoa não se pode prender ao trabalho, estamos lá aquelas horas mas depois é aproveitar para "viver".

Não que o trabalho não faça parte da nossa vida e não possamos falar dele com os amigos e isso tudo, mas tem de ser no máximo um complemento nunca a preocupação duma vida.

Portanto a partir de hoje nova regra:

Eu, Trabalho pra viver!!!


Agora bora lá às frases soltas:

"Committee--a group of men who individually can do nothing but as a group decide that nothing can be done."
by Fred Allen

"A stupid man's report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand."
by Bertrand Russell

"Money frees you from doing things you dislike. Since I dislike doing nearly everything, money is handy."
by Groucho Marx

"A synonym is a word you use when you can't spell the word you first thought of."
by Burt Bacharach

"Some have been thought brave because they were afraid to run away."

Pessoal Simpático

As maneiras como as pessoas dizem as coisas, a subtileza com que usam certas palavras sempre me fascinou.

vamos a um pequeno exemplo :)




A... diz:
miguel...
A... diz:
tu és um tipo giro e interessante
A... diz:
meio irritante e pretencioso de vez em quando
A... diz:
lol
A... diz:
às vezes até te tornas mais interessante por seres pretencioso (mas isso é só na minha cabeça perversa...)
miguel diz:
define pretencioso sff...
A... diz:
arogante e com a mania que é dono da razão...




Porque é que as pessoas teimam em ser simpáticas é algo que nunca percebi, principalmente sendo nossos amigos é mesmo algo que deviam tentar não o fazer, nada como entrar forte e duro, nada como dizer as coisas como elas são.

"És um otário de merda, mas é por isso que te adoramos"

Mas é das coisas mais bonitas de ver as maneiras como as pessoas tentam mandar indirectas/directas tentando ao mesmo tempo não ferir susceptibilidades

Talvez a definição mais honesta que já me deram...

Mas isto é só um dos meus muitos problemas :D


btw: frases feitas again:

Natal...

É natal é natal, blá blá blá e assim passou mais um natal...

E acabou bem com uma granda joga de basket entre os phoenix suns e os la lakers.

A parte pior chegou hoje, últimos 3 dias de trabalho, 4 labregos no escritório e nada pra fazer...

Vou finalmente aproveitar para começar a estudar.

Mas voltando ao passado, natal, foi bem fixe, não pelas prendas, porque nesta alturas as melhores que eu recebo são mesmo as que eu dou a mim mesmo, mas sim pela famelga.

Irritam-me montes de vezes, mas como eu e tantos outros sabemos, a família é mesmo isso, e a eles e só eles, permitimos coisas que não ousaríamos permitir a mais ninguém.

E tem sempre uma certa piada o natal em família, rever os primos que estão cada vez mais longe, conversar, fazer planos, etc.

E os putos mais pequenitos com os seus teatros e as suas brincadeiras.

E este ano até nem foram só os putos e com os teatros, mas isso fica para outra altura porque poucos estariam preparados para tal visionamento, vou tentar destruir as provas mas se alguma vez alguém as vir, desde já aviso que nego tudo, não sei nada e ninguém pode provar que eu lá estive :D


"Doce" Natal pra vocês também ;)

Mudanças

Ando uma beca farto de ouvir sempre as mesmas músicas, sim o shuffle do winamp só é útil até um ponto, e depois só dá o que lá estiver, por isso deixo aqui uma apelo a quem tiver ideias para cenas audíveis, é só deixar aí nos comments.

já agora que seja algo mais joyful porque apesar de eu curtir muito a música que oiço, ela é toda meio down, bué depressiva algumas vezes, e isso não faz bem a ninguém, em pequenas doses é muito útil, em demasia cansa uma beca, assim como eu, tolerável em pequenas doses, cansativo quando muito mais que isso.

attention hore alert ;)

Plain White T's - Hey There Delilah

Tal como a Mutya é tão bom enganarmos-nos a nós próprios, é que ao fim de algum tempo até nós começamos a acreditar...

Tipo estas "high school lyrics" do tudo vai ficar bem e vai ser lindo, "love shall prevail"

Plain White T's
- Hey There Delilah

Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true


Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely

Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice it's my disguise
I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar

We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good


Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This ones for you


Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me.

Oh oh
OOOoohhhh
Oh oh
Ooooooohhhhh
Oh Oh
OOOoohhhh
OOOOooohhhhh
Oh Oh



Delusional yuppp...

Groove Armada - Song 4 Mutya

Os Groove Armada são talvez a melhor banda dos últimos tempos, tem um ritmo e um espírito muito próprio, sinceramente gosto bastante, e esta combinação com a Mutya Buena é muito à frente, especialmente a letra.


Groove Armada - Song 4 Mutya

Your gone now, i feel fine.
Somebody met you, i feel fine.
What about you, i bet you been cryin.
I bet you been goin around town lyin.
Hey!

Im drivin fast, i feel so fine.

So i pulled up to the red light
Sittin there in my car.

And there you are!

Sat there with some new girl what is this!
Dont panic panic Mutya, dont drive erratic. Hey!
That's who has replaced me? What a diss!
Dont panic panic, dont act to manic manic

Its a sure fire way, to ruin my day
Just as soon as im on top of my life
There you are again. Yeah
But dont react now, you cant go back now
Dont panic panic Mutya just look ahead now.
Out of control

Lets cut to it, my girl for lunch,
I was feeling on top of the world
And i just got a hunch.
You inside, behind my back
Didnt need to turn around
I felt sick at the thought
He laughed aloud

Sat there with some new girl what is this!
Dont panic panic Mutya, dont drive erratic. Hey!
That's who has replaced me? What a diss!
Dont panic panic, dont act to manic manic

Its a sure fire way, to ruin my day
Just as soon as im on top of my life
There you are again.
But dont react now, you cant go back now (no no no)
Dont panic panic Mutya, just look ahead now.
Out of control

Mmmmph.......

Its a sure fire way, to ruin my day
Just as soon as im on top of my life
There you are again.
But dont react now, you cant go back now
Dont panic panic mutya, just look ahead now

Into The Wild

Pois bem o filme ainda não o vi, mas conheço minimamente a historia e a música parece altamente, depois tem um dos actores de que mais espero, sem nenhum motivo aparente, mas simplesmente porque já esteve ao lado da minha Elisha...

O filme é sobre a historia que toca a todos os otários que como eu passam a vida a pensar no what if, quebrar o sistema (mas qual sistema?) etc...

Rebeldes sem causa... Eternos revoltados do sistema, será altura para conformar? ou ainda aguentamos mais uma beca?


Quem nunca pensou em deixar tudo para trás, e mendigar por esse mundo fora? era capaz de ser giro e tal...


Eddie Vedder - Hard Sun

When I walk beside her
I am the better man
when i look to leave her
I always stagger back again


Once I built an ivory tower
so I could worship from above
when I climb down to be set free
she took me in again

CHORUS
There’s a big
a big hard sun
beating on the big people
in the big hard world


When she comes to greet me
she is mercy at my feet
I see her inner charm
she just throws it back at me


Once I dug an early grave
to find a better land
she just smiled and laughed at me
and took her rules back again

CHORUS

Once I stood to lose her
and I saw what i had done
bowed down and threw away the hours
of her garden and her sun

So I tried to want her
I turned to see her weep
40 days and 40 nights
and its still coming down on me


CHORUS
