The other margin… 2008-05-10 09:51:10 (click pictures to enlarge)
This blog is since long ago enriched, in its header, with a picture on which I review myself: grayscale Arrábida’s Bridge or, in Portuguese, “Ponte Da Arrábida“. The project of this bridge was placed under reponsibility of Portuguese civil engineer Edgar Cardoso, approved in 1955 and the works for erecting it [...]
Cellphone Kids 2008-05-02 14:57:36 … or “A Geração Telemóvel“, in Portuguese. Yep, that’s true, according to Darwin’s evolutionary theory, I do believe that in due time human babies will be born already with a built-in cellphone. Till that day happens, an early childhood intervention program aiming the optimized use of cellphones is already a fact for babies born in [...]
While Your Lips Are Still Red 2008-04-24 12:42:30 Metal bands still produce the best ballads in the rock universe. It has been like so ever since and hopefully should keep being like so. “Nightwish” is a finnish band born in 1996, in Kitee (Finland), moving around metal music, heavy metal, hard rock or whatever relatives you want to add here cause I even [...]
What Else? 2008-04-15 13:15:46 Although the low consumption per capita of coffee in Portugal (2Kg/person/year of raw material), within an European Union scenario, I do believe there’s no other country where coffee tastes that much good as it does over here. And I don’t remember at all any country where coffee is in fact a pleasure at the dimension [...]
Think Global, Act Local 2008-02-18 14:47:39 … a cliché like any other!! There hasn’t been a special reason for posting here in the last couple of months. There hasn’t been anything really intensive enough in my life to considerably shake up my existence and make me write down something here with passion or, else, with a tremendous lack of it. My [...] Read more:Global

LASER, please! 2008-05-16 14:41:12 Enough is enough! I can’t stand anymore the mistaken everybodies around me showing a total lack of respect for this wonder of technology called LASER!
What’s wrong with you, people? What makes you to be not sensible to sensitivity of science purists like me? It’s elementary (my dear Dr. Watson): if you don’t know it, don’t [...]
… Good To Be Back! 2008-06-05 17:31:36 Almost completing one year after my return from Brazil, where I and my family managed to survive to a two years international assignment, I feel like marking the actual date much more due to the fact that I left Brazil than because I’m back in my home country. As cheering myself up it’s one of [...]
Article 1 2008-06-12 17:06:24 “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood“. Said in a different language, Portuguese for instance, the shape and the way it sounds differ quite a lot: “Todos os seres humanos nascem livres [...] Read more:Article
E Viva l’España… 2008-06-29 16:29:28 One comment only: “nuestros hermanos” deserved totally this victory in Euro 2008! And they didn’t need any Cristiano Ronaldo…
My Dwarves 2008-07-21 18:02:44 Life not always makes sense and not all thoughts flowing in our mind seem to be completely related to our day by day or connected to our current state of spirit. For some reason I woke up one of these days with a short sentence which insisted quite a lot on not leaving my brain [...]

No title 2008-08-01 06:20:02 This post is my tribute to number forty-nine! Forty-nine is a relevant number cause is the one right before fifty, which, in principle, is the topmost of the upmost numbers. For a man, of course.
May the gods be with me… and with myself!
Friendship? Bullshit… 2008-09-10 18:03:44 One bottle of good Portuguese wine, “vinho verde”, white line, one portion of “codfish handjob”, one portion of pork tripes, much of the great Portuguese bread and olives and there we were, ready for another evening of caustic soda production. Talking was flowing the better the bigger was the amount of consumed alcohol. It is [...] Read more:Friendship

Foolish Games 2008-09-09 17:33:32 Three reasons made me writing this post: I feel depressed, Jewel Kilcher is gorgeous, this song depresses me even more and I always had this strong will of translating a song from English to Portuguese. Case you haven’t noticed, I’ve announced three reasons but I gave you four. Case you feel much angry with that, [...] Read more:Foolish

Orgizmos 2008-10-02 14:03:20 … or “when stepping forward it’s much less painful than stepping backward”! Depressing? Probably. Giving up? It may occur sometimes, I should say it, but time (as much as weather(1)), will be a good adviser…
“Orgizmo” stands for “Organizational gizmo” and it is an abbreviation just created by me to express a specific state of one’s [...]
Miss Sarajevo 2008-10-08 15:01:17 After I wrote my post about a Jewel’s song (see it here), I got a comment, off the record, from an old soul with the intention of complimenting me for my good effort of translating, from English to Portuguese, the lyrics of “Foolish Games”. I am talking in this case, about a song which sounded [...]

Half Full… 2008-10-22 06:51:54 Today it’s happening, tomorrow will be another day. I woke up this morning with a good feeling for the running day but up to now I was not able to figure out why. As a matter of fact nothing has changed in my life but I felt I could see life, at least for today, [...]
I feel like shouting… 2008-11-29 08:12:37 There I am again pretending I’m a good English/Portuguese translator. This time it’s a female singer (again!), a love song (again!) and a story told in a way that could have been told by someone, somewhere else in the world.
The relevant part here is what this song is capable of doing to me: everytime I [...]
