Decisions.
I'll take two of those, please.
No refunds.

Ainda não consigo ouvir esta música...
I guess even the best fall down some time...

Impressive, how we can forget pain just because we're distracted with the seasons changing.
As if the moon, by simply rising in the sky, would make us all forgive and forget. As if the tides would wash away all the temper and wrath, leaving the love behind.
As if the seasons changing would take halves of me with them, and less and less of me remains each time.
I guess that is what happens, in reality. Times takes us away, transported to another dimension, until our hearts, brains, bodies, give up and follow the flow of minutes.
We're all just fairy dust.
And maybe a little bit of fairy cakes.
Ensinaram-me uma vez a moderar todas as nossas pequenas tragédias pessoais com uma dose de humor, um sorriso. E ensinaram-me a não dar explicações sobre as coisas que nos fazem sorrir.

A pequena solidão dentro do peito de cada um de nós, que cresce, sem darmos conta, na ausência de mãos e línguas que nos envolvam, toma conta de nós. Cresce no nosso peito e transborda, invadindo os territórios vizinhos, deixa-nos o coração feito de água, e as palavras molhadas, salgadas e amargas.
Queria escrever sobre o amor, mas a ausência do mesmo deixa-me vazia. Digo sempre que prefiro a dor à ausência do sentir, porque me alimenta estas letras.
Tenho medo. Tenho medo de um dia ouvir estes acordar e não sentir nada. Tenho medo de ficar vazia, oca, e não saber. Tenho medo de ficar permanentemente neste nada de não sentir, neste medo de me acabar no fim da minha pele, e não haver nada para além das minhas células. Nada para além desta presença física que não sei ainda controlar.

Eu soube que a minha sede e curiosidade literárias e gramaticais tinham sido despertadas quando, aos 6 anos, ouvi a minha professora primária dizer, por eu ter andado à chapada com um colega:
"Sede bons."
Aquela conjugação verbal ficou-me para sempre.

For his documentary “Playing or Change: Peace Through Music,” filmmaker Mark Johnson traveled through four continents and recorded various musicians–some from unexpected quarters–playing “Stand By Me.”
Each musician was charged with layering a single song over the previous artist thus building upon it. Over thirty musicians globally participated in this project and not one artist knew the other or came in contact initially.

Me says:
está td ao contrario.
em vez de fazermos amor
andamos a foder-nos uns aos outros.

"9:00 THE HIGGS BOSON boson: see elementary particles; Bose-Einstein statistics. boson
Subatomic particle with integral spin that is governed by Bose-Einstein statistics AND THE ORIGIN OF MASS

According to Higgs and other particle physicists, the fundamental constituent particles, quarks and leptons and the weak force carriers W and Z particles W and Z particles, elementary particles that mediate, or carry, the fundamental force associated with weak interactions.

We know from quantum theory that fields have particles associated with them, the photon being the particle for the electromagnetic field. So there must be a carrier particle associated with the Higgs field, and this is the Higgs boson. Different particles interact with the Higgs field with different strengths. Hence different particles have different mass. Some particles have no mass, because they don't interact with the Higgs field. Neutrinos barely interact with a Higgs boson, so they have a very small mass. Top quarks, which have about the mass of a gold atom, have the strongest interaction with a Higgs boson.

I actually had to search and read this in order to understand the new strip. Comic strip, that is.
