Random Thoughts

It's 2:30 in the morning and I'm sitting in the bed, typing this message on my mobile. After coming from the café, I was thinking about a text to write, but once again, that went away.
My poor, old blog is a mess. I exported the texts from the blog in Portuguese and uploaded it here, so you'll easily find texts both in Portuguese and English. My texts are another mess of feelings - mostly depressing stuff, but it is what it is. Times have changed and so did I. Despite not writing as often, it still is my escape. I'm not willing to go through years of spelling mistakes, wrong labels, fix it and try to attract more views to this blog. I'd rather write a final post, with a link to a brand new blog and try to be more careful with my writing.
I'm sitting alone in the bed and one of my cats is looking at me. I pet him, open the sheets so that he can lay under them, but he decides that sitting by my side is more appealing. He looks at me and I pet him and then I proceed to write a little more. Then, he leaves the room and I'm alone again, with Richie Campbell's music on my earphones. And it feels good.
I've already mentioned that I thought about a text to write, but definitely it won't "happen". I let behind the need to write about someone - I really didn't and will write in another blog, in Portuguese, although I'm aware I'll most likely hate the result of it throughout the writing process.
It's almost 3 in the morning and I'm going to sleep. I've fixed my sleeping schedule and this is a bit late for me. The world outside keeps running, people keep walk back and forth, things keep happening.

Loucura - há algumas horas atrás

Às vezes, poderia ter cinquenta blogs, com identidade desconhecida, com identidade patente. Poderia passar por cinquenta espaços diferentes e, ainda assim, não conseguir escrever sobre o que quero. Ainda assim, ser incapaz de escrever as palavras que me assombram, de dizer a verdade que tem de ser dita. Há umas horas atrás, iniciou-se uma certa mudança em mim. Nessas mesmas horas, apoderei-me de outro nome, outra vertente de uma outra existência. Se as coisas, por vezes, não fazem sentido, que se foda! Interessa que faça sentido para mim, que eu saiba o que digo, ao que me refiro. Interessa que, o que sinto, transpareça, sem muito compromisso. Há umas horas atrás, a noite fria presenciou algo, por esquinas, por becos escuros e húmidos, a cheirar a urina, que não imaginei alguma vez que fosse. Há horas atrás, morreram algumas certezas. Há algumas horas atrás...

The Blessing and the Curse of Technology

Technology is a blessing. And a curse. I am typing this message inside a very full bus. Few seats and not that much space for people doing this long hour trip on their feet. I am deactivating the cell phone's browser and Google Chrome, as I am sticking with Brave and have been for a while. And this process has been kinda painful: Google Chrome is the most used web browser and as most cell phones are part of Android universe, it's more than natural. However, it hands me a little too many ads and trying to read anything is almost certain that I'll end up hitting a surprise pop up ad. My cell phone is a Redmi, which gives me Mi Browser as a default. And although Mi browser blocks some commercials, it still allows pop ups; trying to see something on YouTube still gives me ads, despite the ad block. And although I'd like to use the easiness of Chrome or being faithful to Mi Browser, Brave wins. Wins because you block ads, because it blocks cookies without having websites ask...

The Idan Raichel Project com Ana Moura: "Sabe Deus"

Image
Directamente de Israel, chega-nos esta música, com a participação da sempre linda Ana Moura. Não poderia deixar de sentir o orgulho e a honra de tudo isto, de toda esta música, que me tocou a alma desde o momento da descoberta. Viaja a minha alma por terras de Além. E pela terras de Além (aonde, minha gente, mora a minha alma?), a minha alma sofre por estes cantos, a minha alma sofre por estes sentimentos. E sem bem saber como, a minha alma procura um jeito de desvincular-se de tanta coisa... Hoje, talvez seja a noite. Ou a manhã. E daí, talvez não... Tenho ponderado no encerramento dos meus blogs. Coisas temporárias, porque quero corrigir erros ortográficos, erros gramaticais... e escrever, entretanto, sem que isso implique que seja por aqui. Hoje, talvez seja a noite. Ou a manhã. Ou talvez não.
