Here's to the crazy ones

Here's to the crazy ones.
The misfits.
The rebels.
The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.

The ones who see things differently.
They're not fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo.

You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.
Because they change things.

They invent. They imagine. They heal.
They explore. They create. They inspire.
They push the human race forward.

Maybe they have to be crazy.
How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art?
Or sit in silence and hear a song that's never been written?
Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?
We make tools for these kinds of people.

While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

Ode on a flower

O nome Richard Feynman é familiar para muitos, mas o que sabemos nós de este homem, este grande homem?


Façam o favor de investigar, e já agora por curiosidade, o Matthew Broderick realizou Infinity onde ele interpretava exactamente este grande senhor.

Day Break

Pois, a ABC decidiu interromper a exibição da série Lost, deram 6 episódios e só continuam em Fevereiro.


No mesmo horário colocaram uma mini série, Day Break, com Taye Diggs no papel principal, onde um polícia é obrigado a reviver o mesmo dia consecutivamente e tomar decisões para tentar descobrir porque foi incriminado num homicio e proteger várias pessoas.

Decisões que têm consequências.

O curioso é que os ferimentos infligidos à personagem num episodio não desaparecem quando o dia recomeça, estão lá e cada episódio tem o titulo What if... porque literalmente é disso que se trata.

Dos dois episodios que já vi, a série é interessante, uma mistura de 24 (sim, estou a falar de 24) e de Groundhog Day mas com a acção de Run Lola Run.



Bem, vou vendo então, enquanto espero pelos novos episódios de Lost.

Bush e o planeamento familiar

O George W. "Embuste" num momento que apenas pode ser explicado como o seguimento de algum conselho Divino, sim este sr. fala com Deus, decidiu colocar à frente do organismo oficial que gere os programas de Planeamento Familiar, Gravidez na adolescência e abstinência(só mesmo na América!!) um tipo que é um ferveroso opositor do sexo pré-marital, contracepção e aborto.

Eu já tinha visto no 60 minutos uma reportagem de como é que o Gabinete para os Assuntos Populacionais geria um orçamento de 283 milhões de dólares e fiquei assustado.

A notícia completa pode ser encontrada aqui.

O Pior Português de Sempre

"A grande Iniciativa O INIMIGO PÚBLICO / O EIXO DO MAL pretende apurar quem é O Pior Português de Sempre: Que político / personalidade mais contribuiu para a ruína do nosso País? Quem melhor encarna as piores qualidades do povo português? Decida você mesmo quem fez disto uma choldra!"


Pois é, talvez não seja má ideia recorrer ao velho sistema que tem sido seguido por gerações de portugueses, que passa por atribuir as culpas a alguém que não nós.

Mas lista é enorme, escolher 1...

To die a virgin

The Divine Comedy - To die a virgin (Later... With Jools Holland)



To die a virgin

Well we've been going together
Since the eighth of November
And though it seems like forever
I very clearly remember
You told me on our first date
What you'd do on my birthday
Well hooray it's my birthday!
And frankly, baby, I can't wait.

I don't want to die a virgin

The other day I discovered
A magazine of my brotherís
I read it under the covers
It got me all hot and bothered.
Now every time that I see you
Your uniform becomes see-through
You don't know how much I need you
The "Handy Andys" I've been through

I don't want to die a virgin

The pines and the cedars rejoice in his fall
How are you fallen from heaven?
Oh Hellel, star of the morning

With all the bombs and the bird-flu
We're probably gonna be dead soon
And here we are in your bedroom
Oh did I tell you I love you I love you I love you
I can feel your heart beating
And your breathing increasing
Your folks are out for the evening
I really hope I'm not dreaming

I don't want to die a virgin

Dying slowly

Tindersticks - Dying slowly



Dying slowly

I've got memories
I keep them away from me
They won't behave
Won't be what I want them to be

I've seen it all and it's all done
I've been with everyone and no one

So many squandered moments
So much wasted time
So busy chasing dreams
I left myself behind

I've seen it all and it's all done
I've been with everyone and no one

So this dying slowly
It seemed better than shooting myself
This dying slowly
It seemed better than shooting myself

These worms, darling
They're nibbling away at me
They go at it when I'm sleeping
Won't let me get to my feet

I've seen it all and it's all done
I've been with everyone and no one

So this dying slowly
It seemed better than shooting myself
This dying slowly
It seemed better than shooting
If I could find the words to explain this feeling
I would shout them out
If I could find out all this, what's inside me
I would shout it out

So this dying slowly
It seemed better than shooting myself
This dying slowly
It seemed better than shouting it out

I make some coffee
Pull on that new pair of pants
I can get so far
The feeling just falls away

I've seen it all and it's all done
I've been with everyone and no one

I'm just tired, baby
I just need to lay down
I'm just tired, darling
I just need to lay down
I'm just tired, baby
I just need to lay down
I'm just tired, darling
I just need to lay down
I'm just tired, darling

A Lady of a certain Age

The Divine Comedy - A Lady of a certain Age



A Lady of a certain Age

Back in the day you had been part of the smart set
You'd holidayed with kings, dined out with starlets
From London to New York, Cap Ferrat to Capri
In perfume by Chanel and clothes by Givenchy
You sipped camparis with David and Peter
At Noel's parties by Lake Geneva
Scaling the dizzy heights of high society
Armed only with a cheque-book and a family tree

You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur
Until the light of youth became obscured
And left you on your own and in the shade
An English lady of a certain age
And if a nice young man would buy you a drink
You'd say with a conspiratorial wink
"You wouldn't think that I was seventy"
And he'd say,"no, you couldn't be!"

You had to marry someone very very rich
So that you might be kept in the style to which
You had all of your life been accustomed to
But that the socialists had taxed away from you
You gave him children, a girl and a boy
To keep your sanity a nanny was employed
And when the time came they were sent away
Well that was simply what you did in those days

You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur
Until the light of youth became obscured
And left you on your own and in the shade
An English lady of a certain age
And if a nice young man would buy you a drink
You'd say with a conspiratorial wink
"You wouldn't think that I was sixty three"
And he'd say,"no, you couldn't be!

Your son's in stocks and bonds and lives back in Surrey
Flies down once in a while and leaves in a hurry
Your daughter never finished her finishing school
Married a strange young man of whom you don't approve
Your husband's hollow heart gave out one Christmas Day
He left the villa to his mistress in Marseilles
And so you come here to escape your little flat
Hoping someone will fill your glass and let you chat about how

You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur
Until the light of youth became obscured
And left you all alone and in the shade
An English lady of a certain age
And if a nice young man would buy you a drink
You'd say with a conspiratorial wink
"You wouldn't think that I was fifty three"
And he'd say,"no, you couldn't be!

Becoming more like Alfie

The Divine Comedy - Becoming more like Alfie



Becoming more like Alfie

"Are you all settled in? Right, then we can begin. My name is..."
"ALFIE!"

Once there was a time
When my mind lay on higher things
And once there was a time
I could find pretty words to sing
But now, well now I find
It saves time to say what you mean
I know it seems so unrefined
but it's time to let off some steam

Oh come on!
Everybody knows that No means Yes
Just like glasses come free on the N.H.S.
But the more I look through them the more I see
I'm becoming more like Alfie

Once there was a time
When a kind word could be enough
And once there was a time
I could blindfold myself with love
But not now—now I'm resigned
To the kind of life I had reserved
For other guys less smart than I
Y'know—the kind who will always end up with the girls

And besides
Everybody knows that No means Yes
Just like glasses come free on the N.H.S.
But the more I look through them the more I see
I'm becoming more like Alfie

Oh come on!

Diva Lady

The Divine Comedy - Diva Lady



Diva Lady

She's a diva lady
She's a hopeless case
She needs extra make-up
For her extra face
She's a hopeless case

She's a diva lady
She's got special needs
She wants chocolate candy
But no blue ones please
She's got special needs

She lives in a vacuum
She has no real home
Where did diva come from?
Where shall diva go?
She has no real home

She's got thirty people
In her entourage
Just in case her ego
Needs a quick massage
She's got a famous boyfriend
They go out in style
She makes him look hetero
And he helps her profile

She's a diva lady
She looks down her nose
At the shoes I'm wearing
And my care-worn clothes
Such a pretty nose

Blinded by blood

You are
From the heart
Of it all

The
light
From the love
In the night

The
sight
From the white
In the eye

Crying
From the inside
The fear

In the face
From
the mother
The grace

The river
From the
blood
Of the world

You become
From the
two
The thousands

My little one
From the
earth
It all ends

Buried bones

Tindersticks e Ann Magnusson - Buried bones



Buried bones

I could take all the craziness out of you
That's what I loved you for
Take away all the oranges, greens and blues
That's what I loved you for

Take a look at me
You think it really could be that easy?
I mean, take a look at me
You think it really could be that easy for you?

I know about guys, I know where they live

And you're just the same
The ones that matter fight against themselves
But it's so hard to change

Hey, I could love you
Take all that love away from you
Hey, I could love you
Put you in this box I've made for two

So you could take all this craziness out of me
That's what you love me for
Well, I don't mean to laugh
But if you know all this
You must be halfway there

Well, like that dress tonight, you won't know as it falls from you
Turn around and it's winter, darling
Look in the mirror and it won't be you

So you're an old, old dog
You've been around the block

So many times
And it's the same old turns
Same old feelings straight down the line

Yeah, I can love you
Grab that leash and drag you to a place you'd never know

I know where my bones are buried
May take me a while, but I'd find my way home

Geronimo

Yann Tiersen e Neil Hannon - Geronimo



Geronimo

While they have been eating
The rain has started falling,
Gradually gathering in strength;
What began a drizzle
Has now become torrential,
And doesnt look like coming to an end.

The two bedraggled figures
That huddle in the doorway,
With nothing vaguely waterproof to wear,
Are now secretly wishing
Theyd listened to their mothers
When being told to always be prepared.

Screaming
geronimo!,
They run for it down the road;
With an arm around her waist
He leads her to a place
He knows.

Soaked through, but happy,
They squelch up to the landing;
The room before them
Makes a welcome sight.
The coal fire is throwing
Strange shapes upon the hearthrug,
And crying out to be knelt down beside.

She pulls off her jumper
And flings it in the corner;
He picks it up and hangs it on a chair.
She puts on a record
And sings into her coffee;
He puts a blanket round her,
Sits her down
And dries her beautiful hair.

Rover

You've thrown the stick for your dog's trick
but it's floating out of reach.

The long road is a rainbow and the pot of gold lies there.

So slip the chain and I'm off again

You'll find me everywhere.

I'm a Rover.

Midnight Oil - Dreamworld



Dreamworld

The breakfast creek hotel is up for sale
The last square mile of terra firma gavelled in the mail
So farewell to the norfolk island pines
No amount of make believe can help this heart of mine

End - your dreamworld is just about to end
Fall - your dreamworld is just about to fall
Your dreamworld will fall

So shut that buckle and turn that key again
Take me to a place they say the dreaming never ends
Open wide drive that mystery road
Walk through edens garden and then wonder as you go

Sign says honeymoon to rent
Cloudland into dreamland turns
The sun comes up and we all learn
Those wheels must turn
