WORDS OF WISDOM
2009-05-29 12:32:00 "So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life and beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none. When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision. When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their li...

Once again, the men were confused and the brunette slipped away when the men turned around to look for a tornado.Finally, up stepped the blonde before the shooting line.

MAD WORLD!!!
2009-05-21 12:56:00 'ENDEMIC' RAPE AND ABUSE OF IRISH CHILDREN IN CATHOLIC CARE, INQUIRY FINDSA nine-year investigation found that Catholic priests and nuns terrorized, for decades, thousands of boys and girls in the Irish Republic, while government inspectors failed to stop the chronic beatings, rape and humiliation.More than 30,000 children deemed to be petty thieves, truants or from dysfunctional families ? a category that often included unmarried mothers ? were sent to Ireland's austere network of industrial schools, reformatories, orphanages and hostels from the 1930s until the last facilities shut in the 1990s. A report found that rape and sexual molestation were "endemic" in Irish Catholic church-run industrial schools and orphanages.The same report found that molestation and rape were "endemic" in boys' facilities, chiefly run by the Christian Brothers order, and supervisors pursued policies that increased the danger. Girls supervised by orders of nuns, chiefly the Sisters of Mercy, suffere... More About: World , Mad World

Man, I love this song!
2009-05-05 18:15:00 ARE WE HUMAN OR ARE WE? WHAT? Killers' singer Brandon Flowers is pissed off. The lyrics for the band's latest single, "Human" have fans and critics a little confused(I don?t blame them, because I was a little confused myself!). In the chorus of the song, Flowers sings, "Are we human?/ Or are we dancer?" That "dancer" is grammatically incorrect and initially doesn't seem to make much sense. Some fans claimed Flowers was actually saying the word "denser," but he has since admitted to singing "dancer."HERE IS THE EXPLANATION:Flowers has said the line was inspired by former Rolling Stone contributor Hunter S. Thompson, who once wrote, "We're raising a generation of dancers.""That sucks a bit. I don't like, 'Are we denser?' as an alternative,? Flowers said. ?I really care what people think but people don't seem to understand 'Human.'"They think it's nonsense. But I was aching over those lyrics for a very long time to get them right."We've had this argument with so many people... More About: Love , Song

Happy worker's day!
2009-05-01 11:35:00 As a worker, a citizen (of the world) and a human being, I am really disappointed and fed up with incompetent politicians, their policies, Rhetoric and lack of vision, recurrently taking the role of the despicable and unscrupulous Sheriff of Nottingham, stealing from the poor to fund the rich.I strongly believe we will soon be needing a Robin Hood type figure to help us survive.There are men who struggle for a day and they are good.There are men who struggle for a year and they are better.There are men who struggle many years, and they are better still.But there are those who struggle all their lives:These are the indispensable ones. .?

Ferdinand Magellan / Fernão de Magalhães
2009-04-27 12:56:00 Fernão de Magalhães (Ferdinand Magellan , in English), Ferdinand Magellan and his crew were the first Europeans to enter the Pacific from the eponymous Strait of Magellan, which he discovered. They were also the first Europeans to reach the archipelago of what is now known as the Philippines, which was unknown to the western world before their landing. Arab traders had established commerce within the archipelago centuries earlier. The Portuguese maritime explorer was one of the first individuals to cross all the meridians of the globe, at the service of Spain (the Portuguese king refused to finance the voyage) and led the first successful attempt at world circumnavigation.He was the first man to lead an expedition sailing westward from Europe to Asia and to cross the Pacific Ocean (which he named ?pacífico?, meaning ?peaceful?). What a great achievement it was! He died during the Battle of Mactan, in the Philippines, this very same day, April 27, 488 years ago.

THE SPIRIT OF THE HAWK
2009-04-23 15:03:00 Atlanta - The Hawk s? real-life mascot got a little flying time during the playoffs. ?Spirit ? a hawk, flew down from the rafters during the pre-game introductions and decided to hang around for the start of Game 2 against the Miami Heat, on Wednesday night. The bird was perched atop the scoreboard at tipoff, refusing to go to his handler. Then, he swooped around the arena while the game was going on, landing on a railing in the lower deck before he settled on the top of the basket at the Hawks end of the court. When the players spotted the bird, they refused to go on. The game was halted with 8:28 remaining in the first quarter, until the handler finally arrived, luring Spirit to his arm and carrying him out of the arena to cheers from the crowd and players.Atlanta - Isto de ter mascotes com asas tem as suas desvantagens, como se pode ver pelo exemplo de "Spirit", o falcão dos Atlanta Hawks, que fugiu no início do encontro dos playoffs com os Miami Heat, já o jogo decorria.

EARTH DAY 2009
2009-04-22 12:13:00 Will you teach your children what we have taught our children? That the Earth is our mother? What befalls the Earth befalls all the sons of the Earth. The Earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the Earth. Every part of the earth is sacred to my people. Every shining pine needle, every sandy shore, every mist in the dark woods, every meadow, every humming insect. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself. One thing we know: our God is also your God. The Earth is precious to Him and to harm the Earth is to heap contempt on its creator.

Thank you to everyone who's come and visited, commented, linked to me and, voluntarily or involuntarily, promoted this mediocre blog. Thank you guys, and forgive me for being such a lousy blogger. Wow? I never thought that this blog would go so far!It?s amazing how a lousy (not to say kitsch) blog like this, can get so many smart people from all over the world. I definitely deserve a Star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame, or an Oscar nomination for such an achievement! I?m undecided between looking forward to the next 100.000 or exterminating the damn blog.
