Exploding Head Syndrome

Aline Calixto - Flor Morena (Ao vivo)

Flor morena que manda no meu coração
Flor morena me tira dessa solidão
Flor morena que mora no meu jardim
Flor morena vê se tem pena de mim

Mais um dia sem te ver sorrir
vai me fazer enlouquecer
porque já não sei pra onde ir
se eu não for com você

Flor morena não é rosa não
açucena ou margarida
com certeza é a mais formosa flor
que brotou em minha vida

Flor morena que manda no meu coração
Flor morena me tira dessa solidão
Flor morena que mora no meu jardim
Flor morena vê se tem pena de mim

Extremely Loud, Incredibly Close

It's a great movie that does amazingly well at getting inside the mind of a kid suffering from a tremendous loss, and who sees the world and reacts to those around him in a different, hard-to-understand way.

Hiking and trekking. First comes maturing ideas. After, preparation stage.

Walking where the Divine walked helps to put us in touch with his life and teachings.

Vem festejar, minha cultura é arte popular

Vem festejar, na palma da mão
Eu sou o samba, “a voz do morro”! (bis)
Não dá pra conter tamanha emoção
Cacique e Mangueira num só coração

Salve a tribo dos bambas!
Onde um simples verso se torna canção...
Salve o novo palácio do samba!
O “Doce refúgio” pra inspiração
Debaixo da tamarineira
Oxóssi guerreiro me fez recordar
Um lugar... O meu berço num novo lar
Seguindo com os “pés no chão”
“Raiz” que se tornou religião
Da boemia, dos antigos carnavais
Não esquecerei jamais!

Firma o batuque, quero sambar...
Me leva!
A Surdo Um faz festa! (bis)
Esqueça a dor da vida...
Caciqueando na avenida

Sim...
Vi o bloco passando, o nobre rezando e o povo a cantar
Sim...
Era um nó na garganta ver o Bafo da Onça desfilar...
Chora, chegou a hora eu não vou ligar
Minha cultura é arte popular
Nasceu em Fundo de Quintal...
Sou Imortal e vou dizer
Agonizar não é morrer
Mangueira, fez o meu sonho acontecer... (hey, hey, hey)
O povo não perde o prazer de cantar
Por todo universo minha voz ecoou
Respeite quem pôde chegar
Onde a gente chegou!

Vem festejar, na palma da mão
Eu sou o samba, “a voz do morro”! (bis)
Não dá pra conter tamanha emoção
Cacique e Mangueira num só coração

A alma é como uma criança saindo da porta da escola.... e de repente a alegria!

And on the 7th day make up was created.

Sometimes the brightest light comes from the darkest places.

Any film that brings attention to real world corruption should be seen, especially those that examine major health-related topics that receive little attention from the media. Puncture is one of those films.  It also happens to be a good movie.

Alicia Keys - Like You'll Never See Me Again (Live)

If I had no more time
No more time left to be here
Would you cherish what we had?
Was it everything that you were looking for?
If I couldn't feel your touch
And no longer were you with me
I'd be wishing you were here
To be everything that I'd be looking for
I don't wanna forget the present is a gift
And I don't wanna take for granted the time you may have here with me
'Cause Lord only knows another day is not really guaranteed

So every time you hold me
Hold me like this is the last time
Every time you kiss me
Kiss me like you'll never see me again
Every time you touch me
Touch me like this is the last time
Promise that you'll love me
Love me like you'll never see me again

Oh Oh Oh

How many really know what love is?
Millions never will
Do you know until you lose it
That it's everything that we are looking for
When I wake up in the morning
You're beside me
I'm so thankful that I found
Everything that I been looking for

I don't wanna forget the present is a gift
And I don't wanna take for granted the time you may have here with me
'Cause Lord only knows another day is not really guaranteed

So everytime you hold me
Hold me like this is the last time
Every time you kiss me
Kiss me like you'll never see me again
(can you do that for me baby)
Every time you touch me
(see we don't really know)
Touch me like this is the last time
(see everyday we never know)
Promise that you'll love me
(I want you to promise me)
Love me like you'll never see me again
(like you'll never see me again)

Oh oh oh oh oh

The smile team is back.

The smile team is back means hope? If it is, some seeds are growing somewhere; mind, heart or even underground. Think of it. The Help made me cry. I remembered my interchange in Africa and what happened to me and some about the American lifestyle and the roots people grow with and make their hearts cruel until nowadays in someplaces. Love is part of being  without prejudices. If communities really have the belief in God, why condescending attitudes are massacring ethnic groups? Watching that scenes it was like to go in a dream, but it´s real life. It has to do with me because Skeeter has the writing with passion in her veins. I thought my destiny was to become a journalist and I still like writing but  the opportunities made me choose a different thing. The help is genial from the beginning until the end; it´s funny, serious, emoting,  ita has a good script, good actors and it´s definitely impossible to not feel moved. It´s one of the best movies I´ve seen in the last times. Despite the deep story, it makes you think what love is and what the selfish and lack of own love can reveal to each one, in a relationship, between friends, family and fellowship. Never forget that love is always the main seed that makes possible your heart blossom.

 

The Devil Inside won’t break any new ground in the “found footage” horror genre, but it does offer some intriguing ideas about exorcism, a pair of interesting characters, and a number of tense (though not entirely frightening) moments. Overall, fans of the genre are likely to enjoy elements of the film – though, given the slow, exposition-heavy opening act and a TOTAL lack of any ending or closure, many moviegoers will leave the theater feeling as though the experience wasn’t worth the ticket money.

Man on a ledge

As you’d expect, “Man on a Ledge” is a Swiss-cheese plotted heist and “prove his innocence” movie but taken as just that, it’s quite an enjoyable movie. I suppose after having seen enough of these kinds of movies, I shouldn’t expect perfection in how every plot thread is tied up since very few movies manage it. However, what the movie does excellently is setup the plot and build up the situation perfectly. Just starting as a literal man on a ledge, we see subtle layers added until we get this full on crescendo of diamond heists, negotiators, cops, convicts, bad guys, good guys all happening on in a single block in New York. So, given that you’re willing to suppress your tingling plot-hole sense, it can be an enjoyable movie.

Ojo Rojo or Tequila cream

Michelada time? I don´t like it very much but if you do... I prefer Tequila cream! Here's a recipe for an Ojo Rojo;  morning booze-up for next time you're in Mexico! Your Mexican friends or bartender might call it a "michelada con tomate" but its called  an "ojo rojo" (red eye). Salt the rim of a pint glass by dipping the rim into a plate of water, then a plate of salt. Pour an ice cold beer into the glass. Extra points if its a sunny Mexican brand. Drop in two gloops of tomato juice (gloops being a technical measurement!). Add a dash of vinegary hot sauce (like Tabasco), and a dash of Worcestershire. Add cracked black pepper. Squeeze a fat quarter of lime and then drop it into the drink. Enjoy it!
