Life is full of beauty...

“Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.”

Ashley Smith

"A vida está cheia de beleza. Repara nisso. Repara no zangão,na criança pequena,nas caras sorridentes. Sente o cheiro da chuva,e sente o vento. Vive a tua vida ao expoente do teu potencial, e luta pelos teus sonhos."

"grawsome" :D or "A small tribute to a great friend".

In my attempt to make some sense of the world, I´ve decided to have a blog of my own where I could share some of my points of view with others, and try an make some new friends in the process. That was over a year now,maybe more. But truth be told, "bicando" became somewhat smaller and beyond my initial expectations.
I´m the one to blame really,I mean there´s only "so much" one can do when he´s always in a pressure to regain lost time (at least that´s my excuse lol)but...and there´s always a but, not a day goes by that I don´t feel happy for taking that initial step of starting a blog of my own.
You want to know why ? Well, because I found that this thing that we call the internet can be a great tool for reaching others and making some really good friends even that they are Oceans apart.
So here´s my small tribute to a great friend I found along the way,she´s a wonderful Artist (In the true sense of the word) and she´s taught me a lot not only about Art in it´s many genres but also about life and in the process about myself.
There were many names to include over here, but for now, I must say thank you suni thankyou so much, for summoning that "grawsome" (this is a new word I made up by the way)Genie that we call friendship.

Some great Artwork from suni, see some more at:

Memória da Noite / Luar na Lubre PT

Madrugada, o porto adormeceu, amor,
A lua ondula sobre as ondas
Piso espelhos antes de que saia o sol
Na noite guardei a tua memória.

Perderei outra vez a vida
Quando romper a luz nos rochedos,
Perderei o dia que aprendi a beijar
Palavras dos teus olhos sobre o mar.

Veio o luto antes de vir o rumor,
Levou a maré sob a sombra.
Barcos negros sulcam a manhã sem voz,
As redes vazias, sem gaivotas.

E dirão, contarão mentiras
Para oferecê-las ao patrono:
Quererão fechar com umas moedas, talvez,
Os teus olhos abertos sobre o mar.

Madrugada, o porto despertou, amor,
O relógio do bar ficou parado
Na faina muda da desolação.
Não vamos esquecer, nem perdoá_lo.

Voltarei, voltarei à vida
Quando volta a luz nos rochedos
Porque nós arrancamos todo o orgulho do mar,
Não nos afundaremos nunca mais
Que na tua memória já não haja volta atrás:
Não nos humilhareis nunca mais.

Memória da Noite / Luar na Lubre Unoficial ET (ENGLISH TRANSLATION)by BB

Dawn, the port fell asleep, Love,
The moon flows upon the waves
I step on mirrors before the sun comes out
On that night I kept your memory.

I will lose life once more
When the light breaks upon the rocks,
Lose that day when I learned to kiss
Your eyes wide open, upon the sea.

Came to grief before the rumor,
It took the tide away beneath its shade.
Boats ply the dark morning without a voice,
Those empty nets without seagulls.

And they will say, tell lies
And offer them to the patron:
And will try to shut your eyes
with a few coins, maybe,
Open them wide upon the sea.

Dawn, the port has awakened, love,
The clock stood still at the Pub
Changes in toil of desolation.
Let's not forget, nor forgive.

I will come back, come back to life
When the light is back, upon the rocks
Because we pull all our pride from the sea,
Let us not sink, never again
Let not your memory forget it;
You shall not humiliate us anymore.

Dedicated to all of those who pull their pride from the Sea.
WE SHALL NEVER FORGET:

WHY OIL ? / PORQUÊ PETRÓLEO ?

Currently there are engines powered by "Compressed Air, Water, Electricity,solar power, Magnetism,Alchool, methanol, cooking oil, garbage, etc." (all of these considered to be less pollutant than Petroleum a.k.a OIL, and some are even considered to be pollutant free) these also have something in common, thay are all cheaper than OIL.
But the oil lobby continues to keep us "blind" in the presence of such concepts. So, for the average citizen the car engine that runs on nothing but "Their Oil" seems something out of a science fiction novel, or some sort of utopian idea approved only by the unpractical,retarded,obsolete,misinformed and paranoid "dude".
UTOPIA?
I believe it´s more than time we should ask ourselves "why ?" !_BB

Actualmente existem carros movidos a "Ar Comprimido,Água,Electricidade,Energia Solar,Magnetismo,Álcool,Metanol,Óleo de fritar,Lixo e.t.c" (todos estes muito menos poluentes do que o petróleo sendo alguns até completamente isentos de capacidade para poluir o meio ambiente. Estas alternativas também têm todas algo em comum,SÃO TODAS MAIS BARATAS DO QUE O PETRÓLEO) no entanto o Lobby do Petróleo continua a manter-nos "cegos" perante todos estes conceitos que nos parecem utópicos ou saidos de um filme de ficção cientifica.
UTOPIA ???
Creio que é mais do que altura de perguntar-se a si próprio o porquê de tal situação._BB

Maladjusted / Desajustado

 There are certain technical words in the vocabulary of every academic discipline which tend to become stereotypes and cliches. Psychologists have a word which is probably used more frequently than any other word in modern psychology. It is the word “maladjusted.” This word is the ringing cry of the new child psychology.


Now in a sense all of us must live the well adjusted life in order to avoid neurotic and schizophrenic personalities. But there are some things in our social system to which I am proud to be maladjusted and to which I suggest that you too ought to be maladjusted.


I never intend to adjust myself to the viciousness of mob-rule. I never intend to adjust myself to the evils of segregation and the crippling effects of discrimination. I never intend to adjust myself to the tragic inequalities of an economic system which take necessities from the many to give luxuries to the few. I never intend to become adjusted to the madness of militarism and the self-defeating method of physical violence.
-Dr.Martin Luther King JR.

-PT.(Portuguese Translation):
Há certas palavras técnicas no vocabulário de cada disciplina académica que tendem a tornar-se estereótipos e clichês. Os psicólogos têm uma palavra que é, provavelmente, usada mais frequentemente do que qualquer outra palavra na psicologia moderna. É a palavra "desajustado". Esta palavra é o grito de alarme desta nova criança que é a Psicologia.

Agora, em certo sentido, todos nós devemos viver a vida bem ajustados para evitar personalidades neuróticas e esquizofrénicas. Mas há algumas coisas no nosso sistema social, ao qual me orgulho de ser desajustado e para as quais também sugiro que vocês também se tornem desajustados.

Eu não faço intenção de ajustar-me à crueldade da multidão enraivecida. Eu nunca terei a intenção de ajustar-me aos males da segregação e aos efeitos incapacitantes da discriminação. Eu não faço intenção de adaptar-me às desigualdades trágicas de um sistema económico que tira as poucas necessidades de muitos para dar luxo a uns poucos. Eu não faço intenção de tornar-me ajustado à loucura do militarismo e ao método de auto-derrota da violência física.

-Dr.Martin Luther King JR.

Engulfed In Eagle Wings...

_These days there aren´t a lot of things that can make me cry. Needless to say that over the years one becomes hardened inside and the heart becomes like some sort of shell.
This is one of those stories that made me realize that MAN with all his flaws can also become a winged creature and conquer that final frontier called the Human Soul.
WE ARE ALL ONE !

PT (Portuguese Translation)
_Hoje em dia não existem muitas coisas que me possam fazer chorar. É desnecessário dizer que consoante a passagem dos anos, um indivíduo tem tendência a enrijecer por dentro e o coração torna-se como uma espécie de concha.
Esta é uma daquelas histórias que me fez compreender que o HOMEM com todas as suas falhas também pode tornar-se numa criatura alada e conquistar aquela última fronteira que dá pelo nome de Alma.
NÓS SOMOS TODOS UM !

YOU ARE NOT ALONE !

JUST A FEW WORDS THAT OFTEN MAKE ME THINK...
