O mundo não é uma rodinha de poesia!

Sometimes things tend to get a little bit out of control. Nevertheless it pays off not to lose the sense of humor

Some people just do not know what Avantgarde means :)

Evanescence: Hello

Playground school bell rings again
Rain clouds come to play again
Has no one told you she´s not breathing?
Hello, I'm your mind giving you
Someone to talk to
Hello

If I smile and don´t believe
Soon I know I´ll wake from this dream
Don´t try to fix me, I´m not broken
Hello, I'm the lie, living for you so you can hide
Don´t cry

Suddenly I know I´m not sleeping
Hello, I´m still here
All that´s left of yesterday

Sting: Fields of Gold

You’ll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You’ll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in the fields of gold

So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold

Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
We’ll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in the fields of gold

See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I’ve broken
But I swear in the days still left
We’ll walk in the fields of gold
We’ll walk in the fields of gold

Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You’ll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold

Led Zeppelin: Stairway to heaven

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it makes me wonder

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it really makes me wonder

And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forest will echo with laughter

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May Queen
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on
And it makes me wonder

Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll

And she's buying a stairway to heaven

Frank Sinatra: Singing in the rain

I'm singing in the rain
Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feeling
I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds
So dark up above
The sun's in my heart
And I'm ready for love

Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain
I've a smile on my face
I'll walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
Singing, singing in the rain

I'm singing in the rain
Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feeling
I'm happy again
I walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
I'm singing, singing in the rain
singing in the rain

Nickelback: Photograph

Look at this photograph
Everytime I do it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red
And what the hell is on Joey's head

And this is where I grew up
I think the present owner fixed it up
I never knew we'd ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneaking out

And this is where I went to school
Most of the time had better things to do
Criminal record says I broke in twice
I must have done it half a dozen times

I wonder if It's too late
Should i go back and try to graduate
Life's better now then it was back then
If I was them I wouldn't let me in

Oh oh oh
Oh god I

Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye

Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye

Remember the old arcade
Blew every dollar that we ever made
The cops hated us hangin' out
They say somebody went and burned it down

We used to listen to the radio
And sing along with every song we know
We said someday we'd find out how if feels
To sing to more than just the steering wheel

Kim's the first girl I kissed
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
She's had a couple of kids since then
I haven't seen her since god knows when

Oh oh oh
Oh god I

Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye

Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye

I miss that town
I miss the faces
You can't erase
You can't replace it
I miss it now
I can't believe it

So hard to stay
Too hard to leave it

If I could I relive those days
I know the one thing that would never change

Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye

Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye

Look at this photograph
Everytime I do it makes me laugh
Everytime I do it makes me

Silbermond: Wissen was wird

Von Sonnenauf- bis Untergang
Wart ich manchmal kurz und manchmal lang
Alles dreht sich nur um dich
Tausend Fragen quälen mich
Lassen mich nicht los, lässt mich nicht los
Keine Ahnung was willst du mir sagen.
Immer wenn der Mond am Himmel steht,
Immer wenn der Mond am Himmel steht...
...will ich
wissen was wird, aus dem Morgen
wissen was wird, aus Dir und mir
wissen was wird, sich ändern
wissen was wird
wissen was wird...

Was wäre wenn ich heut schon alles weiß
Frag mich, was würd ich tun um jeden Preis
Würd ich fliehen vor dem Ende
Bringen Antworten die Wende
Drehe mich nicht um, dreh mich nicht um
Keine Ahnung was willst du mir sagen.
Immer wenn der Mond am Himmel steht,
Immer wenn der Mond am Himmel steht...
...will ich
wissen was wird, aus dem Morgen
wissen was wird, aus Dir und mir
wissen was wird, sich ändern
wissen was wird
wissen was wird...

GLOBO_124_GUIA_DE_VIAGEM

Viajando de maneira diferente

Desde de muito jovem descobri que a viagem era, para mim, a melhor maneira de aprender. Continuo até hoje com esta alma de peregrino, e decidi relatar nesta coluna algumas das lições que aprendi, esperando que possam ser úteis a outros peregrinos como eu.

1. Evite os museus. O conselho pode parecer absudo, mas vamos refletir um pouco juntos: se voce está numa cidade estrangeira, não é muito mais interessante ir em busca do presente que do passado? Acontece que as pessoas sentem-se obrigadas a ir a museus, porque aprenderam desde pequeninas que viajar é buscar este tipo de cultura. É claro que museus são importantes, mas exigem tempo e objetividade – voce precisa saber o que deseja ver ali, ou vai sair com a impressão de que viu uma porção de coisas fundamentais para a sua vida, mas não se lembra quais são.
2. Frequente os bares. Ali, ao contrário dos museus, a vida da cidade se manifesta. Bares não são discotecas, mas lugares onde o povo vai, toma algo, pensa no tempo, e está sempre disposto a uma conversa. Compre um jornal e deixe-se ficar contemplando o entra-e-sai. Se alguém puxar assunto, por mais bobo que seja, engate a conversa: não se pode julgar a beleza de um caminho olhando apenas sua porta.
3. Esteja disponível. O melhor guia de turismo é alguém que mora no lugar, conhece tudo, tem orgulho de sua cidade, mas não trabalha em uma agência. Saia pela rua, escolha a pessoa com quem deseja conversar, e peça informações (onde fica tal catedral? Onde estão os Correios?) Se nao der resultado, tente outra – garanto que no final do dia irá encontrar uma excelente companhia.
4. Procure viajar sózinho, ou – ser for casado – com seu conjuge. Vai dar mais trabalho, ninguém vai estar cuidando de voce(s), mas só desta maneira poderá realmente sair do seu país. As viagens em grupo são uma maneira disfarçada de estar numa terra estrangeira, mas falando a sua língua natal, obedecendo o que manda o chefe do rebanho, preocupando-se mais com as fofocas do grupo do que com o lugar que se está visitando.
5. Não compare. Não compare nada - nem preços, nem limpeza, nem qualidade de vida, nem meio de transportes, nada! Voce não está viajando para provar que vive melhor que os outros – sua procura, na verdade, é saber como os outros vivem, o que podem ensinar, como se enfrentam com a realidade e com o extraordinário da vida.
6. Entenda que todo mundo lhe entende. Mesmo que nao fale a lingua, nao tenha medo: já estive em muitos lugares onde nao havia maneira de me comunicar através de palavras, e terminei sempre encontrando apoio, orientação, sugestões importantes, e até mesmo namoradas. Algumas pessoas acham que, se viajarem sózihas, vão sair na rua e se perder para sempre. Basta ter o cartão do hotel no bolso, e – numa situação estrema – tomar um táxi e mostra-lo ao motorista.
7. Não compre muito. Gaste seu dinheiro com coisas que nao vai precisar carregar: boas peças de teatro, restaurantes, passeios. Hoje em dia, com o mercado global e a Internet, voce pode ter tudo sem precisar pagar excesso de peso.
8. Não tente ver o mundo em um mes. Mais vale ficar numa cidade quatro a cinco dias, que visitar cinco cidades em uma semana. Uma cidade é uma mulher caprichosa, precisa de tempo para ser seduzida e mostrar-se completamente.
9. Uma viagem é uma aventura. Henry Miller dizia que é muito mais importante descobrir uma igreja que ninguém ouviu falar, que ir a Roma e sentir-se obrigado a visitar a Capela Sixtina, com duzentos mil turistas gritando nos seus ouvidos. Vá à capela Sixtina, mas deixe-se perder pelas ruas, andar pelos becos, sentir a liberdade de estar procurando algo que não sabe o que é, mas que – com toda certeza – irá encontrar em mudará a sua vida.
