Salve Jorge!

Jorge Da Capadócia
Composição: Jorge Ben Jor

Jorge sentou praça na cavalaria
E eu estou feliz porque eu também sou da sua companhia
Eu estou vestido com as roupas e as armas de Jorge
Para que meus inimigos tenham pés, não me alcancem
Para que meus inimigos tenham mãos, não me peguem, não me toquem
Para que meus inimigos tenham olhos e não me vejam
E nem mesmo um pensamento eles possam ter para me fazerem mal

Armas de fogo, meu corpo não alcançará
Facas, lanças se quebrem, sem o meu corpo tocar
Cordas, correntes se arrebentem, sem o meu corpo amarrar
Pois eu estou vestido com as roupas e as armas de Jorge

Jorge é de Capadócia, viva Jorge!
Jorge é de Capadócia, salve Jorge!

Perseverança, ganhou do sórdido fingimento
E disso tudo nasceu o amor
Perseverança, ganhou do sórdido fingimento
E disso tudo nasceu o amor

Ogam toca pra Ogum
Ogam toca pra Ogum
Ogam, Ogam toca pra Ogum

Jorge é da Capadócia

Viver e não ter a vergonha de ser Feliz...

"É melhor tentar e falhar, que preocupar-se e ver a vida passar.
É melhor tentar, ainda que em vão que sentar-se, fazendo nada até o final.
Eu prefiro na chuva caminhar, que em dias frios em casa me esconder.
Prefiro ser feliz embora louco, que em conformidade viver" - Martin Luther King

Desejos no Dia Internacional da Mulher

Canção das mulheres
Lya Luft

Que o outro saiba quando estou com medo, e me tome nos braços sem fazer perguntas demais.

Que o outro note quando preciso de silêncio e não vá embora batendo a porta, mas entenda que não o amarei menos porque estou quieta.

Que o outro aceite que me preocupo com ele e não se irrite com minha solicitude, e se ela for excessiva saiba me dizer isso com delicadeza ou bom humor.

Que o outro perceba minha fragilidade e não ria de mim, nem se aproveite disso.

Que se eu faço uma bobagem o outro goste um pouco mais de mim, porque também preciso poder fazer tolices tantas vezes.

Que se estou apenas cansada o outro não pense logo que estou nervosa, ou doente, ou agressiva, nem diga que reclamo demais.

Que o outro sinta quanto me dói a idéia da perda, e ouse ficar comigo um pouco — em lugar de voltar logo à sua vida, não porque lá está a sua verdade mas talvez seu medo ou sua culpa.

Que se começo a chorar sem motivo depois de um dia daqueles, o outro não desconfie logo que é culpa dele, ou que não o amo mais.

Que se estou numa fase ruim o outro seja meu cúmplice, mas sem fazer alarde nem dizendo “Olha que estou tendo muita paciência com você!”

Que se me entusiasmo por alguma coisa o outro não a diminua, nem me chame de ingênua, nem queira fechar essa porta necessária que se abre para mim, por mais tola que lhe pareça.

Que quando sem querer eu digo uma coisa bem inadequada diante de mais pessoas, o outro não me exponha nem me ridicularize.

Que quando levanto de madrugada e ando pela casa, o outro não venha logo atrás de mim reclamando: “Mas que chateação essa sua mania, volta pra cama!”

Que se eu peço um segundo drinque no restaurante o outro não comente logo: “Pôxa, mais um?”

Que se eu eventualmente perco a paciência, perco a graça e perco a compostura, o outro ainda assim me ache linda e me admire.

Que o outro — filho, amigo, amante, marido — não me considere sempre disponível, sempre necessariamente compreensiva, mas me aceite quando não estou podendo ser nada disso.

Que, finalmente, o outro entenda que mesmo se às vezes me esforço, não sou, nem devo ser, a mulher-maravilha, mas apenas uma pessoa: vulnerável e forte, incapaz e gloriosa, assustada e audaciosa — uma mulher.

X & Y

Trying hard to speak
And fighting with my weak hand
Driven to distraction
So part of the plan

When something is broken
And you try to fix it
Trying to repair it
Any way you can

I dive in at the deep end
You become my best friend
I wanna love you but I don't know if I can

I know something is broken
and I'm trying to fix it
Trying to repair it anyway I can

Oooohh, oooohh
Oooohh, oooohh

You and me are floating on a tidal wave... together
You and me are drifting into outer space... and singing

Oooohh, oooohh

You and me are floating on a tidal wave... together
You and me are drifting into outer space

You and me are floating on a tidal wave... together
You and me are drifting into outer space... and singing

Oooohh, oooohh
Oooohh, oooohh

Everybody is free to wear sunscreen...

Everybody's Free (to wear sunscreen)



Mary Schmich
Chicago Tribune

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of '97... wear sunscreen.

If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be IT.

The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience.

I will dispense this advice now.

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded. But trust me, in 20 years you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked.

You are NOT as fat as you imagine.

Don't worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.

Do one thing every day that scares you.

Sing.

Don't be reckless with other people's hearts, don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.

Floss.

Don't waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long, and in the end, it's only with yourself.

Remember compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you succeed in doing this, tell me how.

Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.

Stretch.

Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don't.

Get plenty of calcium.

Be kind to your knees, you'll miss them when they're gone.

Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't, maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't, maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself, either. Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's. Enjoy your body, use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it, or what other people think of it, it's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.

Dance. Even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.

Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.

Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.

Get to know your parents, you never know when they'll be gone for good.

Be nice to your siblings; they are your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.

Understand that friends come and go, but for the precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography in lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young.

Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.

Travel.

Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old, and when you do you'll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.

Respect your elders.

Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one might run out.

Don't mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will look 85.

Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

But trust me on the sunscreen.

SONETO DE SEPARAÇÃO

De repente do riso fez-se o pranto
Silencioso e branco como a bruma
E das bocas unidas fez-se a espuma
E das mãos espalmadas fez-se o espanto.
De repente da calma fez-se o vento
Que dos olhos desfez a última chama
E da paixão fez-se o pressentimento
E do momento imóvel fez o drama.
De repente, não mais que de repente
Fez-se de triste o que se fez amante
E de sozinho o que se fez contente
Fez-se do amigo próximo o distante
Fez-se da vida uma aventura errante
De repente, não mais que de repente.

Vinícius de Morais

Original Sin

He never ever saw it coming at all
It's alright...

Hey, open wide
Here comes original sin
It's alright...

No one's got it all
No one's got it all
No one's got it all

Power to the people
We don't want it, we want pleasure
And the TVs tried to rape us
And I guess that they're succeeding
And we're going to these meetings
But we're not doing any meeting
An we're trying to be faithful but we're
Cheating, cheating, cheating

Hey, open wide
Here comes original sin
It's alright...

No one's got it all
No one's got it all
No one's got it all

I'm the hero of the story
Don't need to be saved
It's alright...

No one's got it all
No one's got it all
No one's got it all

Life's for Sharing

Tudo que é Imaginário EXISTE, É e TEM.

wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
