... What if changing life was as easy as changing pants? Would it be as fun? Would it be as challenging? This was the year that these three friends decided to take steps towards a new direction. This is the diary for their journey, one that does not have a clear finish line, but that they expect to be a hell of a drive.

This is the year...

It's so good to be right....

"“Creative Europe” (Europa Criativa) é o novo programa de financiamento apresentado pela União Europeia (UE) e que vê na cultura, neste momento de recessão económica generalizada, um importante motor para o desenvolvimento de cada país. Entre 2014 e 2020, a UE vai disponibilizar 1,8 mil milhões de euros."

PS: Em caminho de mudança!!! :)

"Liberdade pra dentro da cabeça", by Natiruts



Mudança.

"o que há de melhor/ tá na vida/ na transformação/ da natureza/ que me traz a noção..."

Que a mudança seja o início de algo melhor. E será, concerteza... com liberdade na cabeça! :)

Just watched "Seven days in Utopia". It's a story within a story for anybody wishing to change theirlives. Well worth the watch. Five Stars.
I guess 2012 in finally going to be a year I will complete my book. Stopping smoking will be the start. It's not goign to be easy but if I write a few hundred words a day it would be 100,000 words over a year... Time to start making plans for 2012. Get my driving licience. Get fit. Stop smoking. Do as many new things as possible. Write that book. What are your main plans for 2012?

6am and I still haven't slept

Such a rough day and then I couldnt sleep. Better days will come. Conversations today included murderers who should have had a good lawyer and got manslaughter instead of a 40 year stretch, French Cigarettes and not much more. 


Played pool with S&M (lololol) and Nolito who turned out to be better than the "I haven't a fucking clue how to play" she said prior to playing. Ok she wasn't brilliant but a hell of a lot better than bad. Went for a drink after with Zariola.


Test for tomorrow. Try go the whole day without facebook. Considering the girls suspended their accoutns this week I think I should try take a break.. At least for 24 hours.. Lets see.. I wonder if it would be harder than giving up cigarettes for 24 hours.. The 1st of January looms only 16 days away.. That's about 320 cigarettes not including alcoholic induced smoking marathons. Hmmm.. Do I get out of bed(It's now 6.26am) and have an afternoon nap later and an early night tonight or should I sleep a few hours which possibly could mean 2pm.. 




 Maybe a movie.. don't know if I have the willpower... Keep forgetting and remembering I havemy football match tomorrow morning. Too late to start training now. Fuck it.. Im going for a cigarette!!!

This year ..... i'll be more picky when it comes to choosing men




... percebeste cupido?

Roll the dice 01-01-12


So we are going give up smoking on New Years day and I think we should do something special to mark the day. A "Roll the dice" day. Let's pick 9 things to do that day. 3 each and the other two people each pick 1 of the three thigns from the other people meaning there will be six things to do(2 from each person) Price constraints 10 euro each person and we can invite people after we roll the dice to choose what we will do. 6 events 1 dice 1 hell of a day out to start the new year.

Wednesday night student night.

Ex-students of mine for a short Christmas get together(sangria included) which might have turned out to be new members for the trip to Dublin in May 2012. Much more successful than expected. Good company and plenty of "massagems".

Dear Santa

No longer chasing pavements.. time to chase a dream...


Dear Santa,

Please send me a bag of dreams so when I drink too much sangria at least I know I'll dream when I sleep.

Inspira-te




Este texto inspira-me a viver melhor.


Inspira-te.
Inspira os outros.

Sim, vale a pena... Isso é Viver!
É algo que não te pode ser retirado mas que, sim, podes dar.
Um sorriso, uma música, uma conversa.
Um abraço, uma lágrima, uma viagem.

No final de contas, és tu que decides se o relógio fica parado ou não.
Para quê desperdiçar a pilha??? :)


Vive. E vive bem.

Do irónico

No ano em que a Crise substituiu o futebol como o "maior desbloqueador de conversas ever", não surpreende que a Times atribua o título de figura do ano ao "Manifestante". Àquele que saiu à rua para gritar contra Wall Street, ofender governantes, incendiar carros, destituir poderes. Àquele que se juntou com amigos e discutiu a estupidez de um mundo onde as pessoas são bens mercantilizáveis e descartáveis. Num ano em que se esperam Messias, se aguardam grandes líderes ou se reza pelo surgimento de novos paradigmas, não deixa de ser irónico que a massa crítica sejamos, afinal, todos nós, a ralé.

Everyday it's the same. We accept things because we don't have the push to change things. There's little motivation in what we are doing and even less at times to change it. Now we've decided that we will finally take a step as a small group in changing bit by bit the things we do everyday. First up will be to quit smoking on New Years Eve. 2012 will bring at least one good thing. More money in our pockets. Changing our lives is never easy. It starts this week although Saturday morning is probably a better start. A football match at 9am in the morning with lots of journalists from a newspaper I collaborate with a write a football opinion article for will be a good beginning. Before that I'll have a few beers with my ex students tonight and try convince them to go to Dublin next May. Old habits die hard. But before I go there I'm gonna walk around here and give a few people a high five, across the back, with a chair.

Onde ser escravo é uma realidade. Mas... será a TUA?

A começar....música
