Friendship? Cheers!

I have found out (lately) that it is still possible to go through truly friendship between two human beings up to the borders where people usually barily get into the conclusion if what they are feeling is friendship or love. I myself, an incurable “free speech” performer, very often get very much lost when I try to define concepts like love, friendship, passion, etc…

When I [...]

Seven

It was not my intention to post here anything about 2010 FIFA World Cup and, in particular, about the national team of my country, Portugal. However, a score like this (Portugal 7 – 0 North Korea) it is not usual in football(1), no matter what Cup we are talking about. I am feeling, then, like leaving here a singular notice about this day when, despite [...]

Mazgani

… my new found!

Being a fan of Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Rufus Wainwright and Jeff Buckley (among others of the same kind), I got immediately attracted to Mazgani’s first notes I heard, a while ago on TV. Finally, after some “contemplation”, I had to go to FNAC (one of my favorite shops, very close to my house) and make a contribution to Shahryar [...]

I've Found my Muse!

Speaking of Mr. Edvale (again) and my son (14 yo) I definitely have got surrended to Muse (band), a rock group from Teignmouth (Devon), UK, from what I already took a very beautiful rock ballad with the intention of sharing it with my readers, through this blog, which you can listen to here.

‘Why surrended?’, you may ask. Because everything fits when we speak about this [...]

This Love Affair

I don’t know what I’m doing, I don’t know what I’m saying, I don’t know why I’m watching all these white people dancing. I don’t know where I’m going, but I do know that I’m walking. Where? I don’t know. Just away from this love affair. I can’t say that I’m cruisin’, not that I don’t like cruisin’. Just that I’m bruisin from you. I [...]

Shakespeare

All of a sudden I have felt a tremendous desire of coming here, to my laptop Toshiba, Satellite Pro P300-1F1, and say something about Shakespeare. Not the silly English writer, William Shakespeare, but only the little cafe where sometimes I go to face, one on one, my own capacity to deal with my limited capacities.

Shakespeare Bar is a bar (what a fucking redundancy, isn’t it?) [...]

Fish 'n' Chips? No Thanks! -part 2

This time the idea is to proclaim to the world the immeasurable joy I felt yesterday with the clear and unequivocal victory of Sporting Clube de Portugal, from Lisboa, over Everton F.C., from Liverpool, UK. Not because I am a Sporting supporter (you know, I love F.C. Porto) but mainly because the team they beat is an English (from England) one

Sporting C.P. 3 – 0 [...]

Cohen's Sisters

Lisbon, July 30th – Yep, just a joke: The Webb Sisters are not his’ but they are very much fan of him, I have learnt. I was still young when I drove, by July this year, together with my wife down to the capital of this tiny country almost falling down from Europe into the Atlantic ocean. The target was the famous Pavilhão Atlântico where [...]

Unintended

You could be my unintended choice to live my life extended. You could be the one I’ll always love. You could be the one who listens to my deepest inquisitions. You could be the one I’ll always love. I’ll be there as soon as I can but I’m busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before.

First there was the one who challenged all [...]

Hoops Of Pleasure

When I was already celebrating my victory over 20 years of “friendship” between me and tobacco, I had one of these last days the unfortunate surprise of being informed about a disease which impairs breathing functionality of approximately 80% of people who had the bad idea of start smoking, followed by the worse idea of not quitting on such a bad habit. Moral of this [...]
