Everything seems so small and without importance.

.O lixo fica no lixo.

LIÇÃO DO CAMIÃO DO LIXO 


 DeRose


"Um dia peguei um taxi para o aeroporto.  Estávamos rodando na faixa certa quando, um carro preto saiu de repente do estacionamento direto na nossa frente. O taxista pisou no freio bruscamente, deslizou e escapou de bater em outro carro, foi mesmo por um triz! O motorista desse outro carro sacudiu a cabeça e começou a gritar para nós nervosamente.   Mas o taxista apenas sorriu e acenou para o cara, fazendo um sinal de positivo. E ele o fez de maneira bastante amigável.. Indignado lhe perguntei: 'Porque você fez isto? Este cara quase arruína o seu carro, a nós e quase nos manda para o hospital ?!?!' Foi quando o motorista do taxi me ensinou o que eu agora chamo de "A Lei do Caminhão de Lixo." Ele explicou que muitas pessoas são como caminhões de lixo. Andam por aí carregadas de lixo, cheias de frustrações, de raiva, traumas e desapontamento. À medida que suas pilhas de lixo crescem, elas precisam de um lugar para descarregar, e às vezes descarregam sobre a gente. Nunca tome isso como pessoal. Isto não é problema seu!É dele! Apenas sorria, acene, deseje-lhes sempre o bem, e vá em frente. Não pegue o lixo de tais pessoas e nem o espalhe sobre outras pessoas no trabalho, EM CASA, ou nas ruas. Fique tranquilo... respire E DEIXE O LIXEIRO PASSAR. O princípio disso é que pessoas felizes não deixam os caminhões de lixo estragarem o seu dia. A vida é muito curta, não leve lixo com você! Limpe os sentimentos ruins, aborrecimentos do trabalho, picuinhas pessoais, ódio e frustrações. Ame as pessoas que te tratam bem. E trate bem as que não o fazem. A vida é dez por cento do que você faz dela e noventa por cento da maneira como você a recebe!  Tenha um bom dia, e lembre-se! Livre-se dos lixos!"

.Pays nordiques!!! Action.




C'est au même moment que les pièces maitresses de six grands musées européens ont été dérobées ce 21 août. La liste est impressionnante : un Picasso à Eindhoven aux Pays-Bas, un Larsson à Stockholm, un Munch à Oslo, un Schjerfbeck à Helsinki, un Eckersberg à Copenhague et un Rubens à Anvers (Belgique).

.Cover Story.





“When I heard about Bloomberg blocking off part of Broadway for pedestrian malls a while back, I felt that it was wrong. It could cause gridlock with cars idling, spewing out exhaust, so it’d be just as bad,” says Bruce McCall about the inspiration for this week’s cover, “A Greater, Greener New York.” He continues: “The whole forcing people to become more ecologically ‘aware’ health-wise seems to me to be Big Brother imposing on people, really the personal philosophy of the mayor and his ‘do-gooder’ group. I’m a liberal, but I find it offensive that we can’t be allowed to make our own decision about anything, and that there’s a better, ‘higher’ form of knowledge and expertise that we have to obey.” What about his own ecological awareness? “I’m the least aware and involved environmental person,” McCall confesses. “My carbon footprint’s the size of Sasquatch. It’s such a drop in the bucket that I can’t bother. It’s symbolic, you know, a liberal form of smugness, I think. “

.Your nature.

Agent Phil: You're gonna lose.
Loki:           Am I?
Agent Phil: It's in your nature.
Loki:           Your heroes are scattered, your floating fortress falls from the sky. 
                    Where is my disadvantage?
Agent Phil: You lack conviction.

.The art of stepping on someone’s shoes without ruining their shine.




Benjamin Franklin, tactless in his youth, became so diplomatic, so adroit at handling people, that he was made American Ambassador to France. 
The secret of his success? ‘I will speak ill of no man,’ he said,
‘…and speak all the good I know of everybody.’ Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain – and most fools do
.

It concerns tact... see?

.Et puis quoi encore?.

A l'affamé appartient le pain que tu gardes. A l'homme nu, le manteau que recèlent tes coffres. Au va-nu-pieds la chaussure qui pourrit chez toi. Au miséreux, l'argent que tu tiens enfouiA l'affamé appartient le pain que tu gardes. A l'homme nu, le manteau que recèlent tes coffres. Au va-nu-pieds la chaussure qui pourrit chez toi. Au miséreux, l'argent que tu tiens enfoui.

"A l'affamé appartient le pain que tu gardes.
A l'homme nu, le manteau que recèlent tes coffres.
Au va-nu-pieds la chaussure qui pourrit chez toi.
Au miséreux, l'argent que tu tiens enfoui."

.XXXI.



Moralité: 
La prochaine fois que vous entendrez quelqu'un critiquer ce que les autres ont par mérite,
rappelez-vous de la patrologie Grecque.
À la fin, elle n'est pas si différente du proverbe marocain qui dit:
Quand le chien n'arrive pas à atteindre le festin, il prétexte que c'est pourri.

October's sky
By MauroZiBex



What we learn through life experiences stays with us.
It's like in an invisible backpack we carry... Where we keep stuff,  not necessarly because we'll need them, but because we feel like keeping.
So far, from 28 years of life I still keep in my head the face of Bernard Arnault when he said in a meeting with a smile and a french accent:

 "Ze sky is ze limit"

And yes it is... It is in fact, my favourite sentence so far, everyday and in every situation, I keep it in mind with conviction and self-confidence to continue the journey straight to the destination.

In the meanwhile, I continue using my backpack... whenever I feel identified with something, I open, put it in, close and smile while it's processing.

Next stop: Checked...

.Un grand pas pour l’humanité, une trace de pneu pour la science.




Les terriens ont pris la grosse tête comparés à leurs compères de la planète rouge, un melon que l’on espère sans pépins, parce qu’à force de s'incruster chez les gens sans y être invité, un jour l’humain tombera sur un voisin peu conciliant qui tachera de lui rappeler les bonnes manières intergalactiques.

Parce que sur Mars comme sur terre, la curiosité est un vilan défaut!!!

Banks...

"On October 23, Matador will release the 2nd solo album from Interpol vocalist/guitarist Paul Banks.  With ‘Banks’ (LP/CD/digital), Paul ditches the Julian Plenti alter-ego, and the resulting 10-song album is a tour-de- force of exhilarating minor-key intensity.

Banks was recorded in New York and Connecticut with producer Peter Katis (Interpol, The National, Shearwater, Jónsi…).  The album is  personal and epic, catchy and serpentine – much like your favorite Interpol albums – with Paul’s wry humor, bare emotion, and varied influences all in full effect."


Track listing :
1. The Base
2. Over My Shoulder
3. Arise, Awake
4. Young Again
5. Lisbon
6. I’ll Sue You
7. Paid For That
8. Another Chance
9. No Mistakes
10. Summertime Is Coming

Entre les 17h sans boire ni manger, les heures passées dans la cuisine, 5 portugais et un brésilien à table, ça promet!!! Surtout qu'au moment de rompre le jeûne, mon cerveau déconnecte, je vois tout en slow motion, je capte 20% des sujets de conversation et tous les sons s'amplifient dans ma tête.

Je laisse ici le big up de tout le dîner à Agente P. ici, comme d'habitude, toujours un truc décalé à apprendre avec ce mec.

Afinal de contas, como é possível que uma pessoa assim tão descontraída pudesse enlouquecer? Mas esperem: há indícios de que algo está errado
