those broken things

You could patch up whatever was broken, but if you were the one who had fixed it, you'd always know in your heart where the fault lines lay.
-Jodi Picoult, Ninteen Minutes

For today

The more you know who you are, and what you want, the less you let things upset you.

Solo porque aveces alguien logra decir mejor lo que sentimos:

I trust everyone. It's the devil inside them I don't trust.
The Italian Job

Coisas que acontecem...

I could feel my heart flip and fall; between the impatient pause of it all- all that you will not say and all that I cannot ask

Para un buen inicio de semana

If you let me,
I'll show the world to you.
Yes, if you let me,
I'll know just what to do.

Cos then came you.
Then there's you.
I keep your picture
In my worn through shoes.

When I'm lost
In your eyes
I see a way for me

Winter by Joshua Radin

Eclipse lunar!!!!

O fenómeno terá início às 20h16 (hora TMG e de Lisboa), quando a Lua entrar em penumbra, seguindo-se a sua entrada na sombra, às 21h30. Só às 22h44 começa o eclipse total, que termina às 23h58, com o meio às 23h21, de acordo com dados do OAL.

Finalmente, a Lua sairá da sombra às 01h12 de domingo e tudo termina às 02h25, com a sua saída da penumbra.

Este é o primeiro dos dois eclipses totais da Lua de 2007, com o segundo a ocorrer a 28 de Agosto, mas dessa vez não será visível na Europa.

O último ocorreu na madrugada de 28 de Outubro de 2004, uma quinta-feira, entre as 03h23 e as 04h45.

When?

when youre young, your whole life is about the pursuit of fun. then you grow up and learn to be cautious. you could break a bone or a heart. you look before you leap and sometimes you dont leap at all because theres not always someone there to catch you. and, in life theres no safety net. when did it stop being fun and start being scary?-Sex in the City

Why not??

So why don't you dance a little closer, a little slower, we both know this is just for tonight.

Because i feel good today

Lay your hands by Simon Webber

Oscar's nominees

Next you can read some quotes from the movies nominated for Best Picture

Babel

Richard: What about you? How many wives do you have?
Anwar: I can only afford one.

Yussef: I killed the American, I was the only one who shot at you. They did nothing... nothing. Kill me, but save my brother, he did nothing... nothing. Save my brother... he did nothing.

Amelia: Help! Ayudame! HELP!

The Departed

Frank Costello: Heavy lies the crown.

Frank Costello: When I was your age they used to say you could become cops or criminals. What I'm saying to you is this... When you're facing a loaded gun, what's the difference?

Colin Sullivan: [to Madolyn] If we're not gonna make it, it's gotta be you that gets out, cause I'm not capable. I'm fucking Irish, I'll deal with something being wrong for the rest of my life.

Colin Sullivan: [to Madolyn] If we're not gonna make it, it's gotta be you that gets out, cause I'm not capable. I'm fucking Irish, I'll deal with something being wrong for the rest of my life.

[first lines]
Frank Costello: I don't want to be a product of my environment. I want my environment to be a product of me. Years ago we had the church. That was only a way of saying - we had each other. The Knights of Columbus were real head-breakers; true guineas. They took over their piece of the city. Twenty years after an Irishman couldn't get a fucking job, we had the presidency. May he rest in peace. That's what the niggers don't realize. If I got one thing against the black chappies, it's this - no one gives it to you. You have to take it.

Letters from Iwo Jima

General Tadamichi Kuribayashi: If our children can live safely for one more day it would be worth the one more day that we defend this island.

General Tadamichi Kuribayashi: For our homeland. Until the very last man. Our duty is to stop the enemy right here. Do not expect to return home alive.

General Tadamichi Kuribayashi: The United States is the last country in the world that Japan should fight.

The Queen

Portrait Artist: You may not be allowed to vote, ma'am, but it is your government.
HM Queen Elizabeth II: Yes. I suppose that is some consolation.

HM Queen Elizabeth II: Have we shown you how to start a nuclear war yet?
Tony Blair: Uh, no.
HM Queen Elizabeth II: No? First thing we do, apparently. Then we take away your passport and spend the rest of the time sending you around the world.

Alastair Campbell: The Palace has sent over an advance copy of the Queen's tribute to Diana. I've suggested a few changes to it, to make it look as if it was written by a human being.

Little miss sunshine

Dwayne: I wish I could just sleep until I was eighteen and skip all this crap-high school and everything-just skip it.
Frank: You know Marcel Proust?
Dwayne: He's the guy you teach.
Frank: Yeah. French writer. Total loser. Never had a real job. Unrequited love affairs. Gay. Spent 20 years writing a book almost no one reads. But he's also probably the greatest writer since Shakespeare. Anyway, he uh... he gets down to the end of his life, and he looks back and decides that all those years he suffered, Those were the best years of his life, 'cause they made him who he was. All those years he was happy? You know, total waste. Didn't learn a thing. So, if you sleep until you're 18... Ah, think of the suffering you're gonna miss. I mean high school? High school-those are your prime suffering years. You don't get better suffering than that.

Grandpa: Losers are people who are so afraid of not winning, they don't even try

Commitment

There are times when even the best of us have trouble with commitment, and we may be surprised at the commitments we're willing to let slip out of our grasp. Commitments are complicated. We may surprise ourselves by the commitments we're willing to make, true commitment, takes effort, and sacrifice. Which is why sometimes, we have to learn the hard way, to choose our commitments very carefully.

A good song for today

Closer by Joshua Radin

We could live through these letters or forget it all together
See the months they don't matter it's the days I can't take
When the hours move to minutes and I'm seconds away

-Taking Back Sunday

Happy heart day

What if it turns out that a life isn’t defined by who you belong to or where you came from, by what you wished for or whom you lost, but instead by the moments you spend getting from each of these places to the next.
-Jodi Picoult, Vanishing Acts

Uma boa musica para começar o dia

Tell her this by Del Amitri

After careful consideration and many sleepless nights, here’s what I've decided: there's no such thing as a grown-up. We move on, we move out, we move away from our families and form our own. But the basic insecurities, the basic fears and all those old wounds just grow up with us....We get bigger, we get taller, we get older. But, for the most part, we're still a bunch of kids, running around the playground, trying desperately to fit in.

Meredith

Y va un poquito de musica...

Jarabe de palo, Agua

If you love someone you say it, you say it right then, out loud. Otherwise the moment just... passes you by.

-My Best Friend's Wedding

Momento alegre do dia :)

This world......

If we can forgive what's been done to us. . .
If we can forgive what we've done to others. . .
If we can leave all of our stories behind. Our being villains or victims.
Only then, maybe, can we rescue the world.
-Chuck Palahniuk, Haunted

Okay, so, sometimes even the best of us make rash decisions. Bad decisions. Decisions we pretty much know we're going to regret the moment, the minute, especially the morning after. I mean, maybe not regret, regret because at least, you know, we put ourselves out there. But...still. Something inside us decides to do a crazy thing. A thing we know will probably turn around and bite us in the ass. Yet, we do it anyway. What I'm saying is...we reap what we sow. what comes around goes around. It's karma and, any way you slice it...karma sucks.

You got a dream, you gotta protect it. People can't do something themselves, they wanna tell you that you can't do it. You want something? Go get it. Period. -The Pursuit of Happyness

"Mindless Menace of Violence"

Our lives on this planet are too short and the work to be done too great. But we can perhaps remember – even if only for a time – that those who live with us are our brothers, that they share with us the same short movement of life.

Remarks to the Cleveland City Club, April 5, 1968

Robert F. Kennedy

Sometimes words are just enough

“Sometimes I Just Have To Say Your Name “

With the sweet drip of every raindrop
Time brings you closer to me
And with each new sign at every train-stop
Another hour without you is consigned to history

And with each tick of my alarm clock
I get crazy for the days to get to you
When i can hold you and kiss you and have you
Instead of staring at some photo like a fool

But as day turns to night there's this hopelessness to fight
When i think that i might not make it through

But honey sometimes i just have to say your name
To hear it hanging in the air, to know it sounds the same
And sometimes when i'm blue, i know just what to do
To keep the blues at bay you know i only have to say your name

(Del Amitri)

Only Revolutions

The correct title of this book is Only Revolutions. It appears incorrectly here because of technical restrictions.


Only Revolutions is an American road novel by writer Mark Z. Danielewski. It was released in the United States on 12 September 2006. It was nominated for the 2006 National Book Award for Fiction.
The story alternates between two different narratives: Sam and Hailey, and Hailey and Sam, wild and wayward teenagers who never grow old. With an evolving stable of cars, the teenagers move through various places and moments in time as they try to outrace History.

Only Revolutions is printed in such a way that both covers appear to be the front of the book. The side with the green cover is the story as told by Sam, and the side with the gold cover is the story as told by Hailey. Every page contains upside-down text in the bottom margin, which is actually later pages of the opposite volume. For example, the first page of Hailey's story contains the last several lines of Sam's story, apparently upside down. When you reach that page while reading Sam's story, those lines will appear to be the only right-side-up text on the page. (Note: The publisher recommends the reading of eight pages from one story, then the other, and so on.)

In addition, every page contains a sidebar with a date and a list of world-events that happened between that date, and the one which appears on the next page. Dates in Sam's story run from Nov 22 1863 to Nov 22 1963, while dates in Hailey's story run from Nov 22 1963 to Jan 19 2063.

Hey there!!1
As you can see the blog has a new template. I got bored of the old one and decided to make a little change. Hope you like the new blog and if you want you can give ideas about the things that could be change or get better. I wait for your inputs then.

Sara

Everytime I look at you... I feel better. It shocks me. It knocks my wind out, but it's true. I'd be happy just to look at you from across the room. And even that, anything, any piece of you. And, hopefully, all of you...that'd be the best thing. Because I love you.

Now you will know why I never work out

A light in the middle of the tunnel

I was at home studying, pretty bored and almost having an attack when i discovered a wonderful thing. I always listen to music while studying, otherwise I'd fall asleep or get distracted with every single thing. But i was tired of my musics, my mp3 player, my cds and the normal radio stations. So I decided to search for something in the internet. First I found pandora.com, which is great, but i got bored of that too.
So that's when the surprise arrived, the itunes radio stations!!!!! You have from dance, to country, to hits, to billboard songs, anything you want, you've got it :)

So enjoy your music...ohhh, and good study, if that's possible

For you...thanks!!!!

Each night I fly to your world.
Each night I breathe the silence that seperates us from being together.
Each night I touch your hands, kiss your tender lips, and gently as the breeze that surrounds your peaceful sleep I.....

And as the eve of dawn beckons the rising sun I leave.
Only to return again to you.

Everythin is illuminated

"I have reflected many times upon our rigid search.
                It has shown me...
                ...that everything is illuminated in the light of the past.
                It is always along the side of us...
                ...on the inside, looking out.
                Like you say, inside out."

Alexander Baruch Perchov

“Courage is found in unlikely places.”

J.R.R Tolkien

And so it begins

A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. Never leave that till tomorrow, he said, which you can do today. This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more people would listen to what he had to say. I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I'd have to say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you're wrong? What if you're making a mistake you can't undo? The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we hadn't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying.
-Grey's Anatomy

Come what may :)

Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
Want to vanish inside your kiss
Everyday I love you more and more
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time

Come what may, come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you

And there's no mountain too high no river too wide
Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather and stars may collide
But I love you until the end of time

Come what may, come what may
I will love you until my dying day
Oh come what may, come what may
I will love you

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place...

Come what may, come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Ain't that right?

For everything you have missed, you have gained something else.
-Ralp Waldo Emerson

All I want for Christmas is you

What am I to you

What am I to you
Tell me darling true
To me you are the sea
Vast as you can be
And deep the shade of blue

When you're feeling low
To whom else do you go
See I cry if you hurt
I'd give you my last shirt
Because I love you so

If my sky should fall
Would you even call
Opened up my heart
I never want to part
I'm giving you the ball

When I look in your eyes
I can feel the butterflies
I love you when you're blue
Tell me darlin true
What am I to you

Yah well if my sky should fall
Would you even call
Opened up my heart
Never want to part
I'm giving you the ball

When I look in your eyes
I can feel the butterflies
Could you find a love in me
Could you carve me in a tree
Don't fill my heart with lies

I will you love when you're blue
Tell me darlin true
What am I to you
What am I to you
What am I to you

The meaning of Christmas!!!

Christmas or Christmas Day is an annual holiday that marks the traditional birthdate of Jesus of Nazareth. Christmas combines the celebration of Jesus' birth with various other traditions and customs, many of which were influenced by ancient winter festivals such as Yule^[1] and Saturnalia. Christmas traditions include the display of Nativity scenes and Christmas trees, the exchange of gifts and cards, and the arrival of Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. Popular Christmas themes include the promotion of goodwill, giving, compassion, and quality family time.

Christmas Day falls on December 25. It is preceded by Christmas Eve on December 24, and in some countries is followed by Boxing Day on December 26. Some Eastern Orthodox Churches celebrate Christmas on January 7, which corresponds to December 25 on the Julian calendar. December 25 as a birthdate for Jesus is merely traditional, and is not thought to be his actual date of birth.^[2]

Christmas is celebrated in most countries around the world, owing to the spread of Christianity and Western culture, along with the enduring popularity of wintertime celebrations.

Quote of the day

Liking someone is accepting every part of them, but you can't do that unless they are willing to share every part with you.
-Smallville

Time

Time flies. Time waits for no man. Time heals all wounds. All any of us wants is more time. Time to stand up. Time to grow up. Time to let go. Time.

I meant what I said when I said until my dying day
I’m holding on to you, holding onto me
Maybe it’s all gone black but you’re all I see
You’re all I see
I’m holding on to you, holding on to me
Maybe it’s all we got but it’s all I need
You’re all I need
And if all we’ve got is what no one can break
I know I love you
If that’s all we can take

U2 LYRICS

"In A Little While"

In a little while
Surely you'll be mine
In a little while I'll be there

In a little while
This hurt will hurt no more
I'll be home, love

When the night takes a deep breath
And the daylight has no end
If I crawl, if I come crawling home
Will you be there

In a little while
I won't be blown by every breeze
Friday night running
To Sunday on my knees

That girl, that girl
She's mine
And I've known her since

Since she was a little girl
With Spanish eyes
Oh, when I saw her
In a pram they pushed her by

My, how you've grown
Well it's been
It's been a little while

Slow down my bleeding heart
A man dreams one day to fly
A man takes a rocketship into the skies
He lives on star that's dying in the night
And follows in the trail
The scatter of light

Turn it on
Turn it on
You turn me on

Slow down my bleeding heart
Slowly, slowly love
Slow down my bleeding heart
Slowly, slowly love
Slow down my beating heart
Slowly, slowly love

12 steps for a greener holiday season

In many countries it's holiday season. If last-minute shopping, baking and decorating turn you into Ebenezer Scrooge, just think about the toll this season takes on the environment.

But don't worry, you don't have to choose between enjoying this time of year and becoming an environmental stick in the mud. There are plenty of simple steps that you and your family can take if you are dreaming of a "green" holiday season. To have your gingerbread cookie and eat it too, check out the 12 tips below.

1: Give a compact fluorescent light bulb or two or three as gifts. Save your friends and family money and save the planet too. Old-fashioned light bulbs waste 85% of their energy in heat and don't last long. Compact florescent bulbs these days come in all shapes, sizes, and colours. A 100% compact florescent household makes a great New Year's resolution, and a good investment in energy (and money!) savings.

2: Pull the plug on dirty presents. Electronics are popular gifts so rather than just consider the cost, check out which companies are doing more than others to make cleaner products. This year's presents shouldn't be next year's toxic waste. (Ok, we know. Sometimes we can't resist that new iPod or MacBook either, despite the fact that Apple is bottom of the barrel when it comes to toxic content and recycling policies. If you really can't wait until Apple cleans up its act to buy one, make sure you do something for the Green my Apple campaign to tell Steve Jobs that we love Apple products, but we want them to come in green. Make sure your gift recipient gets the message too!)

3: Pay for the present, not the packaging. Put some thought into the gifts you are purchasing. Avoid products that are over-packaged or made from toxic PVC plastic or from endangered trees like mahogany.

4: Travel smart. When it's time to go shopping for the perfect gift or visit relatives, try to take public transportation or carpool for trips. Every time you hop in your car or even worse a plane, you're producing greenhouse gases which contribute to global warming. Even better? Shop online. You can get your loved ones gift memberships to environmental organizations, like Greenpeace.

5: Cut down on paper. Why not have fun making your own wrapping paper out of recycled paper? With a potato stamp and some water paint you can make unique wrapping paper. Cut up last years cards to make perfect recycled gift tags. Make sure your waste wrapping paper goes in the recycling. If you send holiday cards, look for a recycled content or better yet, send an e-card.

6: Be tree friendly. If a tree is traditionally part of your celebrations, a living, potted one is your best option because it can be reused next year. If you must use a cut tree, ask your local officials about tree recycling or if you can chip the tree to use as mulch in your garden.

7: Less is more. If you decorate your home with lights, think about how much energy they use. Don't forget to turn off the lights before you go to bed or go out, and use LED bulbs to save energy.

8: Go au natural. Replace those plastic, over-priced holiday decorations, with natural reuseable decorations like whitewashed branches and pine cones. They can put you in the holiday spirit just as easily as a huge, inflatable snowman can.

9:Cut down on your shopping. As a general rule the more you buy and consume the more of the planet's limited resources you are using up. Try to buy local produce to cut the travel miles your holiday essentials have clocked up.

10: Break out the china. When it comes time to party down, do so with real dishes - not disposables. Ask your friends to borrow some of their plates and glasses or rent them. Cleanup will be a little tougher, but it's worth it. If you must use disposable, look for recycled content.

11: Hang lots of mistletoe. This won't really help the environment. But more kissing has got to be good for world peace ;-)

12: Get started on those New Year's resolutions! If you've followed these 12 tips for the holiday season why not be good to the climate for the whole of 2007 by following our 12 tips for individual action on global warming?
