daily show

não sei se costumam ver mas dava na sic radical e da também na CNNao sabaod e ao domingo. li agora num blog e partilho convosco este momento comico.

Le transcript du daily show :
Stewart: Rob, obviously a very unfortunate situation. How is the vice president handling it?
Corddry: Jon, tonight the vice president is standing by his decision to shoot Harry Whittington. According to the best intelligence available, there were quail hidden in the brush. Everyone believed at the time there were quail in the brush. And while the quail turned out to be a 78-year-old man, even knowing that today, Mr. Cheney insists he still would have shot Mr. Whittington in the face. He believes the world is a better place for his spreading buckshot throughout the entire region of Mr. Whittington's face.
Stewart: But why, Rob? If he had known Mr. Whittington was not a bird, why would he still have shot him?
Corddry: Jon, in a post-9/11 world, the American people expect their leaders to be decisive. To not have shot his friend in the face would have sent a message to the quail that America is weak.
Stewart: That's horrible.
Corddry: Look, the mere fact that we're even talking about how the vice president drives up with his rich friends in cars to shoot farm-raised wingless quail-tards is letting the quail know "how" we're hunting them. I'm sure right now those birds are laughing at us in that little "covey" of theirs.
Stewart: I'm not sure birds can laugh, Rob.
Corddry: Well, whatever it is they do -- coo -- they're cooing at us right now, Jon, because here we are talking openly about our plans to hunt them. Jig is up. Quails one, America zero.

AHA! MOMENT - Nora Ephron
At a crowded, chaotic screening, the Bewitched director learned a bit of magic. This Aha! moment is probably going to seem like no big deal. And there are probably all sorts of Aha! moments I should be writing about instead. Like the Aha! moment when I realized that life is too short to break up with your friends. Or the Aha! moment when I realized I should eat more cheese. (The "eat more cheese" Aha! moment took place on an airplane about ten years ago. It was right before New Year's, and I'd been thinking about my resolutions for the next year. Suddenly, I was served a plate of cheese. It reminded me of how much I loved cheese. So I resolved to eat more of it, and I pretty much have. Presumably this is not a true Aha! moment, yet it was a blinding insight about something that would improve my life, and it has.) Anyway, here is the moment I truly think of as my own favorite Aha! But before I tell it, a little background. I'm very bossy. What's more, I'm good at solving problems, and when I see a problem that isn't being solved, I'm only too happy to step in. But all that changed one night about 15 years ago when I went to a small screening for a movie. I was sitting in my seat before the movie began, and as the room filled up, it became clear that there were not going to be enough seats. People were bunching up in the aisles and looking around helplessly. I was sitting next to my friend Bob Gottlieb, watching all this. Finally, I couldn't stand it another second. I turned to Bob and I said, "It's really very simple. Someone should go get some folding chairs and set them up in the aisles." Bob looked at me. "Nora," he said. "We can't do everything." What an epiphany! What a shimmering moment! Had we been outdoors, I would now remember whether the day was hot or cold, and where the light was coming from, that's how amazing it was; but since we were in a dark, crowded screening room that was becoming more crowded by the second, all I can remember is that my brain cleared in an amazing way. We can't do everything. I was overcome. I had been given the secret of life. Now I am not going to tell you that from that day forth I never again interfered, or bossed anyone around, or stepped in with a solution that was not remotely necessary. But every year there are truly dozens of times that I watch things go wrong, and I say to myself, "Nora, we can't do everything." You would be amazed at how often things sort themselves out without any help from me whatsoever.

A profecia celestina

estou a reler não resisto a citar: "Quando alguém se cruza no nosso caminho, traz sempre uma mensagem para nós. encontros fortuitos são coisa que não existe.Mas o modo como respondemos a esses encontros determina se estamos à altura de receber a mensagem."

já pensaram o que nos unirá a todos neste blog?devemos ter alguma coincidência, mas ainda não sabemos qual é... mas vamos descobrir.

"Crash" / "Colisão"

Great. You have to see it.
It's life as it is. At least as it is for most people.
Sadly...

Going Postal III and 'finale'

I just can't seem to get enough of Terry Pratchett (TP for friends)... "Eric" will follow. Thanks to 'Ranholas library'. :)

Afterwards, I'll probably make a pause for something from the 'Livramento library': "The Red Tent" by Anita Diamant.

Back to TP... Just before the end :

"They'd saved the city with gold more easily, at that point, than any hero could have managed with steel. But in truth it had not exactly been gold, or even the promise of gold, but more like the fantasy of gold, the fairy dream that the gold is there, at the end of the rainbow, and will continue to be there for ever provided, naturally, that you don't go and look.

This is known as Finance."

Going Postal II - Autocrítica

"There was work to do. It was dull, but it had to be done. So he did it."

"'...in my experience, the best way to get something done is to give it to someone who is busy,' said Vetinari."

Amigas (e alguns amigos)

Há quem diga
que mulheres, quando são amigas, ficam insuportáveis,
porque concordam sempre uma com a outra e não se descolam.
Há quem diga que as mulheres são falsas e fofoqueiras.
Há quem diga que as mulheres brigam, discutem, desentendem-se, mas nunca deixam de ser amigas.

A verdade é que é muito bom ter amigas.
A cumplicidade, o carinho e a compreensão que pode acontecer entre duas mulheres são das coisas mais lindas que somos capazes de alcançar.
A vida apresenta-nos milhares de pessoas. E cada uma delas vem cumprir um papel connosco.
Eu tenho saudade de todas as amigas que já tive na vida, mesmo aquelas que me magoaram.
E tenho saudades de mim mesma quando me lembro de alguma amiga que perdi.

Aquela amiga desbocada que está sempre a meter-se em sarilhos, mas que nos faz rir muito. Aquela outra que é chorona.
Aquela a quem posso contar absolutamente tudo, e sinto que fui entendida, saio aliviada.
Aquela que nos ralha e nos manda parar de roer as unhas.
Aquela que passa connosco o momento mais difícil da nossa vida.
Aquela que liga todo o dia.
Aquela que nos abraçou em silêncio e nos sentiu chorar.
Aquela que faz tudo que se lhe pede.
Aquela que ouve quando estamos apaixonadas e passa horas a falar do mesmo assunto.
E aquela outra que exige toda a nossa atenção.
Ou aquela outra que apoia todas as nossas loucuras.
E a outra que nos reprime em quase tudo.
Aquela que só nos liga nos anos e que mesmo assim adoramos.
Aquela que parece a nossa mãe, e vive para nos dar conselho.
Aquela que nos deu o conselho certo, mas que não ouvimos.
Aquela que irrita, mas que, sinceramente, não imaginamos a vida sem ela.
Aquela que nos defende de tudo e de todos.
Aquela que sempre traz um presentinho.
Aquela que chora a nossa dor.
Aquela que era a mais chegada, mas some.
E aquela que é uma irmã.
E tem também a melhor amiga, aquela, que é simplesmente AQUELA.

Isto é para todas minhas amigas, para aquelas de muito tempo e para aquelas com quem tive o prazer de me relacionar recentemente, paraaquelas que estão perto e longe de mim, para aquelas que eu lembro a todo minuto e nem sabem disso.
Um grande Beijo

Recebi através da minha amiga Filipa (que está nalgumas das frases) e pedi-lhe para partilhar aqui.

About the use of magic... Going Postal I

"Oh, you could do it all by magic, you certainly could. You could wave a wand and get twinkly stars and a fresh-baked loaf. You could make fish jump out of the sea ready cooked. And then, somewhere, somehow, magic would present its bill, which was always more than you could afford.
That's why it was left to wizards, who knew how to handle it safely. Not doing any magic at all was the chief task of wizards - not 'not doing magic' because they couldn't do magic, but not doing magic when they could do and didn't. Any ignorant fool can fail to turn someone else into a frog. You have to be clever to refrain from doing it when you know how easy it is. There were places in the world commemorating those times when wizards hadn't been quite as clever as that, and on many of them the grass would never grow again."

Dia Internacional da Mulher

Hoje recebi muitas mensagens a felicitar-me pelo dia da Mulher, de outras mulheres e de alguns homens. Obrigada! :)
E dei por mim a pensar que... não há um dia do Homem e que talvez alguns deles se sintam 'abandonados' neste dia.
Por isso, deixo aqui uma mensagem de felicitações pelo FEMININO que há em cada um de nós, homens e mulheres!
Que saibamos caminhar em cada momento para a harmonia e felicidade de todos e do mundo! Porque, como escrevi há pouco a um amigo, "nós estamos em vós e vós estais em nós".

White Tantric Yoga®

Let Your Spirit Soar

About White Tantric Yoga® And Meditation

Our minds release 1000 thoughts per wink of an eye. Some of these thoughts get lost in the unconscious, and some get stuck in the subconscious and affect the conscious mind. These thoughts become feelings, emotions, desires, multi-realities or fantasies. Instead of mastering our mind, often our mind and thoughts direct us, which can cause impulsive decisions, poor communication and self-imposed stress.

White Tantric Yoga® enables you to break through these subconscious blocks, so you can have a more enjoyable life. In the shortest time, you can experience release from a lot of the burden you carry in your mind.

When you see and act on each moment with clarity, you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your life can change. Your mind, body, and soul can act together as one. This is the path to personal freedom and awareness, and will bring more success to every area of your life.

“Hope for Dave” – humanitarian diary

A friend sent me this link some weeks ago. I have only read a few entries so far, so can’t comment much but it’s great for a good laugh.

For the ‘non-humanitarians’, we can go over “the specifics in detail”, with a nice cup of tea or a latte on the table. :)

Enjoy! Hope for Dave
