Passeio a Évora

No Gravatar

Um belo passeio a Évora, numa manhã fria – mas com sol -  de Inverno. E de comboio, a nossa modesta contribuição para a preservação da camada de ozono. E ainda por cima relaxante,  contraponto ao stress de todos os dias.

No way Jose!

Self-considered pundit Jose Saramago now proclaims that Portugal should become another province of Spain.

No doubt Spain has tapas and chicas – up to you to decide about the order -, an economy growing much faster than the portuguese one, a general optimistic and more proactive attitude about future, wiser politicians (being this possible…), you name it.

But although scum, we invented the “pastel de nata”. Besides, Afonso Henriques didn’t treat 900 years ago his mother like a dog in vain, did he?!

And even if a modern “Padeira de Aljubarrota” would wear Zara, nevertheless she would keep hating and beating those Spaniard bastards. It’s in our blood, we can do nothing against genetics.

Now seriously: I’m not joking. Portugal forever!

Good and bad vibes

Music is everywhere with its ethereal beauty, but powerful enough to challenge and keep awake our senses. That´s why we love it so much.

Someone wrote that a symphony is perpetually playing in the Universe since the beginning of time, night and day without recess; we are so used to this phenomenon that we even don’t are aware of it.

Music is pure, simple and straight physics and the most direct reflex of the moving force that inhabits in every single piece of matter that can be perceived by our senses.

Music is surprise and difference.

Music has no rules, except the one that says that two pieces of matter that interact with one another always cause a change, an excitement, a different state of reality.

Fortunately, the creation of a melody or any group of sounds is an experience with no use than stimulating our senses, spreading through the air and touching everything, with no ideology but the one that belongs to the ears that listen to it.

This said, let me tell you this: I hate the Stones. I just can’t endure it. ;-)
