Dec 31, 2011

Today here is already Dec 31, city didnt sleep and I can hear some fireworks. I live close to the beach, in Ipanema, and close to my building we have several restaurants and cool bars from where I can hear people talking right now.

And at midnight today we will be at Copacabana beach (some min far from here) to watch the fireworks show. It is a 15/20 min show where 2 million people from everywhere come every year. The tradition is wear all white (but also people wear any other color). The windows in all shops show only white clothes at this time.

At the beach some wash their feet, others jump in. The important is to celebrate and leave behind all bad that happened and look to the future where we hope to find better days to us and our beloved ones. The magic is in the air today.

Happy New Year!

Danger

A New Year is coming. All my certainties are gone so long ago. I cannot complain. Every time I got a hit, Someone up there gives me a gift in disguise. One of them is a Danger one that I will never know anything about.

All I wanted in life in the end worked different than I planned. When we are young, we seem to be eternal and there is nothing that we cannot get it. The world is ours. While growing we start to find out that Miracles dont exist. But still sometimes there is a flame that comes back and reminds me that Im alive. So I start to see the miracle again that takes me to another world and makes me dream again. These moments are getting rare with the time but are yet so precious. In the end I still have myself. Not bad at all.

Looking for the sun. Life is beautiful. But Im starting to say goodbye.

I didnt think this before, but if you read this Merry Christmas to you my Danger unknown friend and a Very Happy New Year. We will never meet, but this is what makes life so mysteriously beautiful.

I love this song. It is so me now.

A passionate for life but impossible to be a lover.

I love life from outside.

...and the other side of the coin...........

how to forget this one........

oops............... undone

Things I wrote somewhere

I love. Not anyone specific. I just love. Is this love that I have that cheers me up when everything seems to fall. · October 28 at 12:55pm

Things I wrote somewhere

- we are like 3 pirates:we dont belong to any place or any time, we travel to different seas, but when anything hurts, we are too close again :)

(a good family is the best thing one can have :) said someone)

- is the only port a pirate can have :)

- Discipline she is saying I guess has the same meaning of one of the meanings in my language too: be organized and centered trying to reach the perfection

- Japanese can be cold to show emotions but what they write have always a deep meaning. And some writings are too simple and so deep as well. They see the world with a unique vision.

- Haiku by Basho

Clouds come from time to time -

and bring to men a chance to rest

from looking at the moon.

I use to say that even a warrior needs some rest, well we all need. Clouds there for me it is that "break time" we all need to dive into ourselves without the interference of the exterior world.

- Murakami

"Sometimes fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing directions. You change direction but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the storm adjusts. Over and over you play this out, like some ominous dance with death just before dawn. Why? Because this storm isn't something that blew in from far away, something that has nothing to do with you. This storm is you. Something inside of you. So all you can do is give in to it, step right inside the storm, closing your eyes and plugging up your ears so the sand doesn't get in, and walk through it, step by step. There's no sun there, no moon, no direction, no sense of time. Just fine white sand swirling up into the sky like pulverized bones. That's the kind of sandstorm you need to imagine.

And you really will have to make it through that violent, metaphysical, symbolic storm. No matter how metaphysical or symbolic it might be, make no mistake about it: it will cut through flesh like a thousand razor blades. People will bleed there, and you will bleed too. Hot, red blood. You'll catch that blood in your hands, your own blood and the blood of others.

And once the storm is over you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about."

— Haruki Murakami (Kafka on the Shore)

What else can be said about life that haven't been said yet? Sun is not for everyone, the strongest and smartest gets everything, sometimes one pays most for the things one gets for nothing, and some are luckier than others. You can say that luck doesn't exist: it is a result of opportunity and preparation, right? But, what about those who have preparation, opportunities and are devoured by the mean ones? And those who have preparation and no opportunities at all? Life is not fair in human world. In the jungle, animals don't think about it ( I guess) and the laws are the same. It is weird to know that one day I will not be here anymore. I will be forgotten as anyone will anyway someday too if their names were not written in Human History.

Music is one thing that can take us away from this even from few minutes, or maybe put us in a hole worst than what we are living sometimes. Love free us from all the pain, but if it doesn't work as a relationship f.e. it also take us in a dark travel inside the dark side of our soul.

They say that ignorance is like a sky without stars, but sometimes ignorance is an armor against the unfair side of life. Knowledge make us ask, search even more for an answer. And the answer, no one has anyway.

Oh yes, I forgot to say: life is beautiful.

A lover's discourse

A mandarin fell in love with a courtesan. "I shall be yours," she told him, "when you have spent a hundred nights waiting for me, sitting on a stool, in my garden, beneath my window." But on the ninety-ninth night, the mandarin stood up, put his stool under his arm, and went away.

A Lover's Discourse: Fragments, Roland Barthes

"A Mandarin was in love with a courtesan. "I'll be yours, she says, when you have passed one hundred nights waiting for me, sitting on a stool in my garden under my window."But to the ninety-ninth night, Mandarin stood up, put the stool under his arm and went away."

Maybe he realized he was fighting for someone who was not worth it. So often we are like this: we spend all our time and energy in search of something we want so much, and blinding us to some things ... and happy of who realizes this in time to give up on something that would bring more suffering.

You can't light a candle to God and also to the Devil. You will lose the protection of the first till you regret of what you did, and you will be attacked with no mercy by the second one, no matter if you regret or not later. Good & evil: everyone likes loyalty.

Doesnt matter if a love stays forever in our lives or not but the good that it makes while is around. Love can free you from any pain, can make you start enjoying life again, can make you forget any insult and smile as nothing bad had happened before.

I should say sorry to people because I am not sweet. But the fact that I am honest and fair make me think that they will like me anyway.

Life is short. Forgive, forget, love the next, yourself and be happy. After a big storm we always emerge stronger. Just believe on yourself.

David Guetta feat Rihanna - Who's That Chick?

Stop judging. We all are different. The chances are not the same to everyone. Can you imagine, leave your comfortable home and live under a war 24/7 and no place to go because everything is destroyed? Even in places that has no wars, many live isolated in their little worlds, or because they are sick and dont have money to pay a doctor or a medecine. Or because they are too ignorant to know what to do because they didnt have access to school. Or because they are weird.

I know what you are thinking: "World has no time for losers". Be aware: one day might be you.

Egyptian Society for Mercy to Animals - ESMA

This world have a lot of work to be done. Is really great to know that ESMA exists and are here to "protect and rescue the animals in immediate danger. ESMA is a charitable organization registered in Egypt (No. 3059/2007) that operates a shelter and adoption center."

Chief Seattle said in 1885 (in a response to the USA President Franklin Pierce - who wanted to buy the indians land) "everything is related", "we are all brothers" - he was talking about all nature, not only humans. Animals, fields, rivers, the whole universe, they are all our brothers in life.

ESMA - http://www.esmaegypt.org/

Music express all our feelings. It is an universal language. And we chose some according to our mood. After so many beats Im like the moon now, only reflecting the light (of my family and friends).

Im down but this is transitory. It is normal we feel like that after being hit for something - even expected.

Never have any doubt about yourself. Believe in how strong you can be. In the end you will be a better person. The best way to improve yourself is facing the harder things. Easy tests dont help you in nothing.

Me, myself & I

I did a hard work on myself to dont miss anyone. I wish to be possible to have two of me lol I would be nice to myself, I would never betray myself, just like I do being only one. But it would be nice share my life with someone like me - not other person, but me myself, twice. I wish the other Taz was here.

Friday

Friday. Hell's door are opening. Welcome. Wanna dance? Eat? No fun and no food. You are Devil's slave remember? Just mix your pain into your drink and burn.

Queen ~ Reina

We, all women, are Queens. And Queens do not cry for nothing. So when your heart is sad, does not show, go ahead. When you feel that you fell do not stay there, move on. Be your own well wisher, value yourself, love yourself, because you are a treasure. So when someone says: "you are not what I need", say you in return: "No, because I am more than what you were looking for."

Somos todas, las mujeres, Reinas. Y las Reinas no lloran por nada. Así que cuando tu corazón esté triste, no lo demuestres, sigue adelante. Cuando sientas que te caíste no te quedes allí, sigue. Quierete, valorate, amate, que tu vales oro. Así cuando te digan "no eres lo que necesito" dile: "No, porque soy mas de lo que tu buscabas."

There is a place that no one sees, no one knows, that is inside our souls. A place where everyone dreams to live a perfect life. In the end of life you notice that all this happiness will never happen. We will have happy moments and we have to hold them in our mind. It will keep us alive.

Make a difference

I never expect "another chance" from any human or anything. I dont have idols, I dont have passions, I dont have heroes.

With time you will learn to love yourself, or you will never be able to love anyone else. We cannot be happy through another person's eyes. If you are hurt, be like a robot for few days. The pain will go away and you will feel proud to get to this point of control of yourself. Never be afraid to be alone.

Everytime that we have news about war and other world miseries, some people pretend that life is perfect and dont even like to hear about what the bad is happening to dont spoil their dinner. These are the ones for who the evil will always grow because they will never do nothing to make this planet a better place to live.

"The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."

Humans (?) live as if the less privileged wouldn't exist. The representation of this is very significant when we analyze the behavior of people in virtual communities. Nobody can pretend who (or what) they basically are.

After 2000 years (Christian Era), the human race behaves like animals without any feeling. And they even boast of their wickedness, how much they are better than others, how much are "superior" to others. I hope these kind of people burn in hell. Yes, because this place theoretically is the place where all the insensitive, the proud, jealous, imitators, opportunists, criminals, evil minds should go.

I once believed in humans. Now I feel shame to be considered as one. othing is never ever gonna change the human nature. They will ever destroy each other.

Human is the only one animal that kills for money or pleasure.

Spread the Word - Against the War

"And I tried hard to be proud of my service but all I could feel was shame. The racism could not longer mask the reality of the occupation. These were people, these were human beings. I've since been claimed by guilt anytime I see an elderly man like the one who couldn't walk and we rolled out on a stretcher and told the Iraqi police to take him away. I feel guilt anytime I see a mother with her children like the one who cried hysterically and screamed that we were worst than Saddam as we forced her from her home. I feel guilt anytime I see a young girl, like the one I grabbed by the arm, and dragged into the street. We are told we are fighting terrorists; the real terrorist was me and the real terrorism is this occupation.

Racism within the military has long been an important tool to justify the destruction and occupation of another country. It's long been used to justify the killing, subjugation and torture of another people. Racism is a vital weapon employed by this government. It's a more important weapon than a rifle, a tank, a bomber or a battleship. It's more destructive than an artillery shell or a bunker buster, or a Tomahawk missile. While those weapons are created and owned by this government, they are harmless without people willing to use them.

Those who send us to war do not have to pull a trigger or lob a mortar round. They do not have to fight the war, they merely have to sell the war. They need a public who is willing to send their soldiers into harm's way. They need soldiers who are willing to kill and be killed without question. They can spend millions on a single bomb, but that bomb only becomes a weapon when the ranks in the military are willing to follow orders to use it. They can send every last soldier anywhere on Earth, but there'll only be a war, if soldiers are willing to fight. And the ruling class, the billionaires who profit from human suffering care only about expending their wealth, controlling the world economy. Understand that their power lies only in their ability to convince us that war, oppression and exploitation is in our interest. They understand that their wealth is dependent on their ability to convince the working class to die to control the market of another country. And, convincing us to kill and die is based on their ability to make us think that we are somehow superior.

Soldiers, sailors, marines, airmen, have nothing to gain from this occupation. The vast majority of people living in the U.S. have nothing to gain from this occupation. In fact, not only do we have nothing to gain, but we suffer more because of it. We lose limbs, endure trauma and give our lives. Our families have to watch flag draped coffins roll into the earth. Millions in this country without health care, jobs or access to education, just watch as this government squander over 450 million dollars a day on this occupation. Poor and working people in this country are sent to kill poor and working people in other country to make the rich richer. Without racism soldiers would realize that they have more in common with the Iraqi people than they do with the billionaires who send us to war.

I threw families onto the street in Iraq only to come home and find families thrown onto the street in this country and this tragic, tragic and unnecessary foreclosure crisis. We need to wake up and realize that our real enemies are not in some distant land and not people whose names we don't know and cultures we don't understand.

The enemy is people we know very well and people we can identify. The enemy is a system that wages war when it's profitable. The enemy is the CEOs who lay us off our jobs when it's profitable, is the insurance companies who deny us health care when it's profitable, is the banks who take away our homes when it's profitable. Our enemy is not five thousands miles away, they are right here at home. If we organize and fight with our sisters and brothers we can stop this war, we can stop this government and we can create a better world.

If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy... The loss of Liberty at home is to be charged to the provisions against danger real or imagined from abroad..."

Shine

"Remember when you were young?
You shone like the sun.
Shine on, you crazy diamond
Now there's a look in your eyes
Like black holes in the sky
Shine on, you crazy diamond
You were caught in the crossfire
Of childhood and stardom,
Blown on the steel breeze
Come on you target
for faraway laughter;
Come on you stranger, you legend,
You martyr, and shine

You reached for the secret too soon
You cried for the moon
Shine on, you crazy diamond
Threatened by shadows at night
And exposed in the light
Shine on, you crazy diamond
Well, you wore out your welcome
With random precision
Rode on the steel breeze
Come on you raver, you seer of visions;
Come on you painter, you piper,
You prisoner, and shine

Nobody knows where you are,
How near or how far
Shine on, you crazy diamond
Pile on many more layers
And I'll be joining you there
Shine on, you crazy diamond
And we'll bask in the shadow
Of yesterday's triumph
And sail on the steel breeze
Come on you boy child, you winner and loser,
Come on you miner for truth and delusion,
And shine."

Shine on you Crazy Diamond
by Pink Floyd

A 5 years old girl asked her friend “What is Friendship?”
He replied “Friendship is when you take my Chocolates Everyday from my bag and I still keep it in the same place….”

All the human history just show us how people have fighted against the racism and other problems and how we are so far to see this world a better place to live. Our planet will always have problems, there will be always war and corruption. But also there will be always people to fight for the rights of the human being. Some places will always be a bit better than others, but nothing is really gonna change the human nature.

Who can be sad in a city like that?

LOVE

I only believe in universal love. This is the Love, with capital "L", that made people like Martin Luther King, Ghandi, Mother Theresa, fight for the next rights. Love the humanity make us feel stronger and not selfish. I cry when I see people dieing for their freedom. I wouldnt cry if a lover left me.

Happy Valentine's

A status today made me remember what I wrote four years ago. It was my status in another virtual community.

I USED TO BE FRIENDLY, HAPPY, SARCASTIC, EXPLOSIVE...I LOVED TO MAKE FRIENDS...

.

.

ANYWAY..IM STILL HERE!

.

.

WELCOME TO MY LIFE!! WE CAN WALK TOGETHER... WHERE DO WE GO?? I DON´T KNOW...THE MOST IMPORTANT IS YOUR COMPANY!!

.

.

.

BE A FRIEND IS ACCEPT THE OTHER AS HE/SHE IS

BE A FRIEND IS

LOVE THE OTHER UNCONDITIONALLY

BE A FRIEND IS

NEVER JUDGE

NEVER HURT

BUT IF IT HAPPENS

JUST GIVE A BIG HUG

TRUE FRIENDS HAVE A BAD MEMORY TO BAD THINGS....

.

.

.

I HOPE YOUR GOOD CLOTHES BE WEARING A GOOD SOUL..

ITS NOT NICE LEAVE A FRIEND WITHOUT A REPLY

IF HE/SHE IS WISHING GOOD THINGS FOR US..

MAYBE THEY WANNA BE IN PEACE WITH US

MAYBE THEY WANNA FORGET THE WORDS BAD SAID

MAYBE THEY WANT JUST WISH GOOD THINGS FOR US

BECAUSE THEY THINK WE ARE IMPORTANT TO THEM.

BUT I GUESS SOME PEOPLE THINK DIFERENT.

BTW..I NEED TO BE THANKFUL TO THIS PEOPLE..

I LEARNT A LOT WITH THEM THESE DAYS

CAUSE EVEN AFTER BEEING SO SINCERE WITH THEM

AND EXPLAINING MY REASONS

EVEN AFTER I ASK THEM TO FORGIVE ME

AND WITH WHOEVER THEY NEED

NOTHING WORST THAN BE LEFT ALONE

FOR WHO WE CONSIDER A LOT.

.

.

.

.

.

.

WE CANT COMMAND ANYBODY.

SOMETIMES I DO THAT BUT I KNOW THAT IS WRONG.

OR MAYBE SOMEONE FEEL SO DEEP FOR A FRIEND

THAT HE/SHE CANT ADMIT TO SEE HER/HIM

GIVING ATTENTION TO OTHER PERSON.

BUT AS I SAID..

WITH TIME AND AFTER SO MANY HURTS WE WILL NOT CARE ABT IT ANYMORE.

PEOPLE DOESNT HURT US.

OUR EXPECTATIONS DO THAT.

THE SECRET IS TO LIVE WITH NO EXPECTATIONS.

ITS NOT EASY.

One day, you came to me
Freed me from misery
I touched the music in you
You started to feel so happy
Makes me jump up and down
You know my heart gets a beat
Each time that we meet
I'm just so happy I met you
Happy
I am feeling so happy
I'm gonna go happy
You make me so happy
Can't you see I'm happy now
One day, you said to me
Happy is where I wanna be
One plus one makes it two
That equals me and you
Each time we make love
Until the day I met you
All of my dreams came true
I am so happy I met you
Happy
I'm feeling so happy
I'm gonna go happy
I'm gonna be happy
Can't you see I'm happy now

To The Dark Rose - The Queen

I love this music.. well.. I love a lot of musics lol. The expression " in joy and sorrow" has a special meaning, we say that when we get married. The marriage goes away and first we are only sorrow and alone with kids. But then we find that we have ourselves and friends who feel the same as we do. Maybe they live close to us or not, but these alliances will never die: in joy or sorrow. Hug Queen D' Rose ♥ as I said before, you are a brave woman. You will always find a solution for anything.

I read somewhere: "Some people believe in God, I believe in Music. Some people pray, I turn up the radio. If Music weren't here, I wouldn't be here. Music is everything to me. Simple as that."

"Without music, life would be a mistake."
Friedrich Nietzsche

Doesnt matter how much you are hurt, for how long you are suffering or how old you are. Just dont be afraid to get over and start again. Maybe the beginning it is not the same as the last one, but you will find your answer and the best way to keep moving on and get rid of all the negative feelings. So, close your eyes and try to see the magnificent Universe around us. From somewhere this Universe take its strength. So, try to find yours inside of you. It must be there.
Cry, scream, kick, but never give up to find your way to meet yourself.
The way can be long. If you feel alone, walk with me.

"And I just can't keep living this way
So starting today, I'm breaking out of this cage
I'm standing up, Imma face my demons
I'm manning up, Imma hold my ground
I've had enough, now I'm so fed up
Time to put my life back together right now.

I'm not afraid to take a stand
Everybody come take my hand
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let you know that, you're not alone
Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road"

“Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.”

Today I read something that fullfiled my heart and made me think.

"If we all loved each other and were true to our faith, we could let go of anger, of evil and hate. For you are my brother, my sister, my niece.. If we can remember that we will all live in peace.. ♥"

So beautiful.. but the problem is that most of people forget fast and leave behind the ones who once they needed.

Thats why I treasure when I find brave people, they are the best friends who will never betray us.

They are those kind of friends who, whatever be the distance and time we dont meet each other, the friendship keeps beeing fresh as the first time: we all love each other and are true to our faith and to the other's one, we only feel love and joy when together, we see the world through the lens of this special friend. They will always tell the truth because the truth, if it is related to them, will never hurt a friend. And if it is related to the world, a true friend will think that is better we know the truth through them than through a stranger. Because brave and true friends are sisters and brothers in soul and love to live in peace. ♥

"The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering."
