The Man in the Glass

2010-02-05T00:56:00.002-02:00

When I was about 10, my father had moved out of our house and was living abroad... It was a difficult period for me. But I remember with great fondness that I loved receiving his letters that he sent once a month (yes, in those days internet didn't exist!).. And on one of those occasions he sent me a very beautiful poem he had read somewhere. The reason being that I had to be true with myself and start growing up.. Yeah, I already had to hear sermons at that tender age hehe
Hope you enjoy.

The Man In The Glass

Anonymous

When you get what you want in your struggles for self
And the world makes you king for a day,
Just go to a mirror and look at yourself
And see what that man has to say.

For it isn't your father or mother or wife
Whose judgment upon you must pass,
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the one staring back from the glass.

Some people might think you're a straight-shooting chum
And call you a wonderful guy.
But the man in the glass says you're only a bum
If you can't look him straight in the eye.

He's the fellow to please, never mind all the rest
For he's with you clear to the end
And you've passed your most dangerous test
If the guy in the glass is your friend.

You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years
And get pats on the back as you pass
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
If you've cheated the man in the glass.

What a show!!!

A blissful moment reminding us that youth wasn't in vain...
I could swear that she was looking at me hehehe Each song she sang brought back sweet memories! A time when we didn't have to really worry that much nor stress ourselves with bills to be paid and work to be done hehe Only hanging out with friends, and going to parties... It was a great show!

Life!

Life is like the tide...
With its highs and lows..
Influenced by the Sun and the Moon...
On a daily basis and a monthly one too!!

The Cranberries!!!

Just bought my ticket for The Cranberries!!!
Yeah!!!

Linger
...
If you, if you could return
Don't let it burn, don't let it fade
I'm sure I'm not being rude
But it's just your attitude
It's tearing me apart
It's ruining everything

I swore, I swore I would be true
And honey so did you...

Zombie
...
Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence cause of silence
Who are we mistaken?

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family
In your head, in your head they are fighting
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head, in your head, they are crying

In your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie
Hey, hey, hey...

Dreams
...
Oh, my life is changing everyday
In every possible way
And my dreams it's never quiet as it seems
Never quiet as it seems

I know I've felt like this before
But now I'm feeling it even more
Because it came from you
And then I open up and see
The person falling here is me
A different way to be

I want more, impossible to ignore
Impossible to ignore
And they'll come true, impossible not to do
Impossible not to do...

And many more!!!!

Tired of the world...
Tired of hearing what people "want"...
But in reality, don't want...
Fed up of hearing about what people despise...
But in reality, can't live without...
Crooked is bad but "adorable"...
Righteous is great but "boring"...
When will humans really be honest about what they want in a relationship??????

The more I know humans, the more I like animals.
When they show affection it's because they really like you,
And they only kill for necessity, not for greed or jealousy.

What's wrong with sappy movies and happy ends...

Deep inside we all want the same thing.

Some are just not tough enough to admit it.

As Rosas são belas

As rosas são belas
Que primas não são
Cor vermelha
Cor coração
Tum, tum, tum
E agora eu penso
E o que é que eu penso?

Eu olho o céu
Eu olho as árvores, eu olho a grama,
Eu olho as flores

As rosas são belas?
Sim e não são
Mas que sentimento elas me dão?

No verão elas abrem a mão
No inverno elas fecham a boca
Que pouco tempo, que pouco tempo
Me leva para as rosas
Debaixo do céu

Junto às árvores
Em cima da grama
As rosas e eu
Que pouco tempo, que pouco tempo
Tum, tum, tum
As rosas são belas?

(escrito por mim, aos 12 anos de idade, em 29/7/1982)

Calor!

2009-12-29T01:43:00.002-02:00

Esse calor que sobe,
que me come as entranhas,
que me tira do sério,
que me faz fazer coisas que eu não faria normalmente!
Efeito estufa mais sensual esse!
Se fosse mulher já teria me jogado aos seus pés!
E pedido em casamento com direito a juras de fidelidade eterna!

Why does the mere idea of "skull" have to mean something bad, morbid or, deathly?
Can't it just be another word among so many with a 'lighter' meaning? For example the bony structure that protects the brain?

So, let's play with the word a bit...

acrostic
adj. of an acrostic, pertaining to a composition in which the initial or ending letters form a word or phrase...

SKULL
KULLS
ULLSK
LLSKU
LSKUL

KNOWING
UNLEASHES

Enquanto o feio nos repulsa;
e o belo nos atrai;
o burro nos enoja;
e o inteligente nos fascina;
o desconhecido nos assusta;
e o conhecido nos conforta;
podemos dizer que temos muito em que pensar.
Pois essas máximas de longe são plenas...
