<br />
But I also have an excellent musical taste, when I come accross something really good, I can tell it right away, so I was browsing the Internet, and came accross this hidden gem. I know the singer, Louis-Ronan Choisy, I have been a follower on Facebook for some years, but I had no idea of his entire repertoire. <br />
<br />
Opium, Fumée de Rêve, is one of those songs, you kinda love the very minute you hear it...<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was quite
curious while following the elections regarding the Scottish referendum this
year. Yes, I know I am not Scottish and that the result would not affect my
life at all, but I was curious to know its outcome. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What was
clearer with the result is that there is an evident dichotomy in the country.
55% voted against the Scottish independence. 45% voted for it. That is, the
high number of discontented citizens with the British monarchy charging heavy
taxes on Scottish people is almost equivalent to the number of people who got
used to or “accepted” it. And something tells me that this is not the end of
the story.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another
fact that called my attention is that democracy takes into account what the
majority chooses and wants. However, such majority is not always right, and
sometimes the majority can be, in other words, dumb, very dumb.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br />
Ao assistir a peça, ou melhor espetáculo "Sarau das Putas" encenado por treze atrizes maravilhosas (incluindo minha amiga, Laura Limp) e dirigido por Ivan Sugahara, fiquei pensando no eco em que as palavras ditas pelos pensamentos e sentimentos dos personagens que todas as treze intepretam magistralmente teriam sobre os espectadores, se tal eco foi o mesmo causado em mim.<br />
<br />
O foco, a prostituição, tema tão antigo quanto o mundo, é desvelado em várias formas e nuances, sem nunca se ater ao lugar-comum, ao clichê...<br />
<br />
A prostituta que fala a um antigo amante, a garota de programa que surta após a falta de ereção do cliente, a prostituta que irrompe em um grito de agonia ao denunciar a violência contra as mulheres (momento fantástico), mostra que todas somos uma só...prostitutas, donas de casa, enfermeiras, médicas, advogadas...casadas, solteiras, viúvas, etc...todas as nossas vozes são semelhantes, todas têm direito ao prazer e à liberdade de escolha.<br />
<br />
Bravas e corajosas essas meninas...a elas eu desejo SUCESSO.<br />
<br />
Em cartaz até dia 29/05 no teatro Poeira. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SaraudasPutas?fref=ts">https://www.facebook.com/SaraudasPutas?fref=ts</a><br />

<br />
I was thinking what makes these social networks (Facebook, Linkedin, etc) so popular. Many give examples, as people are "social animals" and need to relate and interact. I agree to that, but I think the main thing with all these social networks is that they gave people a voice.<br />
Before the Internet era, the only way people could voice their needs and desires, were either by protesting on the streets or writing articles in newspapers or magazines (those who were lucky enough, could have their books published), that means, those were the channels we had to communicate.<br />
The first way to voice our viewpoints that appeared on the Internet (I mean, a personal one, was the blog). I remember in the beginning of the 2000's, the main trend were the blogs, everybody had one (me, included!) so that was the starting point.<br />
But we felt that something was missing. As blogs sometimes do not have the reach that a social network has. When you write something on a blog, the response may take a while, whereas when you write something on your personal page on a social network website, the response is almost immediate.<br />
Everybody has something to say. That is a universal truth. Leaders, dictators, the lot, have tried throughout history to silence our voice. By no means, they have succeeded. As communicating is a universal need, like water that finds its way, through the most unlikely places.<br />
In this social network era, we finally become "someone". We are our own paparazzis, our own interviewers. We become our own historians and biographers. Our history is there, through our pictures, posts, comments, events, etc.<br />
We finally have a voice.<br />
<br />

Só de ouvir a trilha sonora, com a voz de Gal Costa cantando o tema da novela, o MPB4 cantando "Porto", traz de volta aquela nostalgia gostosa, que só uma novela realmente de sucesso, consegue. Porém, uma coisa que me surpreendeu (negativamente!) foi a escolha do elenco. A história se passa na Bahia no início do séc. XX (década de 30), e a Bahia, todo mundo sabe, é o estado brasileiro com o maior número de afro-descendentes. Porém, ao ver a novela, me assustou a quantidade de pessoas brancas na novela. O cabaré (Bataclan) só tem prostitutas brancas! Parece mais um bordel do Sul do Brasil do que da Bahia! Qual o motivo disso? Mercadológico? A figura feminina emblemática da Bahia é, comprovadamente, a mulata. Existem atrizes lindas, brasileiras, que cairiam como uma luva em tais papéis (Camilla Pitanga, Taís Araújo, Roberta Rodrigues, Sheron Menezes, etc)...Essas sim, as legítimas representantes da faceirice e brejeirice tipicamente brasileira.<br />
O que pensar então, do que se passa diante de nossos olhos, ao ver uma representação tão distante da realidade baiana.<br />
Os atores escalados da novela são todos talentosíssimos, porém, o verdadeiro espírito da Bahia, ficou, nesse remake, tão distante de nossa brasilidade (nesse caso, "baianice", se me perdoam o termo) quanto água e vinho.<br />

Eu sempre admirei seu trabalho como atriz...aliás, foram muitos os filmes que vi com Charlotte. Porém, descobri suas músicas este fim de semana, e é claro, não sei porque fiquei surpresa...a filha de dois ícones (Serge Gainsbourg e Jane Birkin), tinha que dar nisso. Seu álbum "5:55" é maravilhoso, e super maduro para quem já não lançava um álbum há quase vinte anos. Estou descobrindo os outros...Deixo vocês com uma prévia, uma das minhas músicas preferidas do álbum...<br />
<br />
She is great! I've always admired her work as an actress...in fact, many were the films I saw with Charlotte. However, I found out about her music this weekend, and, of course, I don't know why I was surprised...the daughter of two icons (Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin), she had to be this way. Her album "5:55" is wonderful, and very mature, artistically, for someone who had not released an album in nearly twenty years. I am discovering the other ones...I leave you with one of my favorite songs of the album...<br />

<br />
900 reais (ou aproximadamente isso) não dá nem pra se pensar em projeto de vida no Rio de Janeiro, quiçá, quanto mais pagar aluguel, comida, transporte, comprar remédios, etc.<br />
<br />
Estamos em 2011, e assistimos, inacreditavelmente, a uma postura repressora e populista do governo, ao reprimir a manifestação dos bombeiros até então pacífica, mas que tomou proporções monumentais, quando uma multidão de bombeiros, incluindo suas mulheres e filhos, lutando por melhores condições de trabalho e salário, foi acuada por policiais de diversos esquadrões, que ao invés de se sensibilizarem e até fornecerem apoio aos seus colegas de classe (afinal, trabalham juntos, muitas vezes), corroboraram a iniciativa do governo em deflagar os manifestantes e agredi-los como se fossem animais, ou pior, como se fossem criminosos.<br />
<br />
Diante de um cenário muito semelhante a diversas situações que ocorreram na época da ditadura no Brasil, em que qualquer manifestação das camadas populares era sufocada e reprimida, fica a pergunta, voltamos a aqueles tempos? Se não voltamos, que tipo de situação "twilight zone" é essa, então? E se por acaso, nós regredimos a tal época, quando é que isso aconteceu, para que eu tome o bonde de volta a 2011?<br />
<br />
Sufocar manifestações populares, mesmo que pareça algo razoável e que vise reinstaurar uma "atmosfera de paz", nessa época de hoje, não é razoável, nem democrático e muito menos instaura a paz. Pelo contrário, suscita ainda mais ressentimento e rancor por parte daqueles que tantas vezes arriscam suas próprias vidas para salvar outras vidas, como ocorre no caso dos bombeiros.<br />
<br />
Será que nossos governantes gostariam de ter suas manifestações por melhores salários, sufocadas por bombas de lacrimogênio e cassetetes?<br />
Ah, me esqueci, eles não precisam fazer qualquer manifestação para isso, já que podem votar no Senado e nas Assembléias Legislativas da vida seus próprios salários.<br />
<br />
Dá-lhe Brasillllllll!!!!!!!!<br />

Sim, eu estou triste. Tanta coisa tem acontecido no mundo nestas últimas semanas, terremotos na Nova Zelândia e no Japão, tsunami, guerra na Líbia e agora por fim, a tragédia na escola no Rio de Janeiro. Detesto esta palavra (tragédia), mas não há outra que se encaixe melhor no que ocorreu.<br />
<br />
Estou triste, não gosto de estar triste...muito menos quando crianças estão envolvidas, porque criança é esperança, criança é alegria, criança é inocência, criança é luz!<br />
<br />
E quando crianças são tiradas de nosso convívio desta forma, parte de nossa esperança, alegria, inocência e luz se esvai...Mas, há um outro dia, uma outra alegria, inocência, luz e esperança de dias melhores...<br />
<br />
No, I don't like sadness. Yes, I am sad. So many things have been happening in the world in the last weeks, earthquakes in New Zealand and Japan, tsunami, war in Libya, and now, the tragedy at the school in Rio de Janeiro. I hate this word (tragedy), but there is no other which fits better in the situation.<br />
<br />
I am sad, but I don't like being sad...especially when children are involved, as children are hope, children are joy, children are innocence, children are light!<br />
<br />
And when children are taken away from us as it happened, part of our hope, joy, innocence and light fades away...But, there will be another day, another joy, innocence, light and hope for better days...<br />
<br />
See ya ;(<br />

She had all the men at her feet, but ended up loving the one who broke her heart.<br />
<br />
Liz Taylor was more than her eight marriages, her scandals and her compulsive behavior. She was passionate, true to her nature (which is something difficult to find nowadays) and defied public opinion and whomever to live life to the full...May the gods bless you on your passing.<br />
<br />
Bye-bye ; (<br />

Os argumentos, não preciso comentar, todos já sabem. <br />
<br />
Mas qual não foi minha surpresa, quando ouvi um senhor (isso mesmo, um homem de meia idade com os cabelos grisalhos!) dizer: "É só abaixar o preço, que nós não compramos mais CDs e DVDs piratas."<br />
<br />
Eu não acreditei. Um absurdo! Se é essa a justificativa para comprar artigos advindos de pirataria, é a pior que eu já escutei. Então quando a tecnologia ainda não estava tão avançada, e comprávamos os famosos "bolachões" (LPs), que não tínhamos como copiar da mesma forma que hoje, por que então comprávamos os LPs?<br />
<br />
Não creio que preço seja uma justificativa plausível para tentar explicar um comportamento desonesto e desaconselhável. <br />
Se assim fosse, não teríamos comprados por tantos anos (antes do advento do CD), discos de tantos cantores.<br />
Creio, que exista sim, uma tênue linha na moralidade humana, mais de acordo com a máxima infame de Maquiavel "O fim justifica os meios". <br />
<br />
The other day, I was at the movie theatre with a friend and while the movie didn't start and we were watching the trailers, at a certain moment, a known singer appeared in a commercial protesting against piracy. The arguments, I need not comment, are known by everyone.<br />
<br />
<br />
But I was really surprised, when I heard a middle-aged man (yes, a middle-aged man with grey hair!) say: "It is just about putting down the price, we will stop buying pirate CDs and DVDs."<br />
<br />
I did not believe it. Absurd! If that is the justification for purchasing articles from piracy-related activities, it is the worst I have ever heard. So, when technology was not so advanced, and we used to buy the famous LPs, which we couldn't copy as we can now, why did we buy LPs?<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't think price is a plausible justification for trying to explain a dishonest and unadvisable behaviour.<br />
<br />
If that was the way, we wouldn't have bought for so many years (before the CD) records from some many singers.<br />
<br />
I do believe, that there is, a fine line in human morality, more in accordance with Machiavel's infamous maxim "The end justifies the means".Luciana Alveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04284135078784414901noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605061.post-39780926419362273522011-01-03T13:01:00.001-02:002011-01-03T13:03:08.735-02:00Pete PostlethwaiteEnfim...a vida, como nós a concebemos, materialmente, não é infinita. Ela acaba. Pena que leve talentos do calibre de Pete Postlethwaite...Eu me lembro que da primeira vez que vi "Em nome do Pai", a atuação de Pete, me impressionou muito mais do que a de Daniel Day-Lewis. É claro, adoro Daniel Day-Lewis, é meu ator-fetiche, mas Pete, era assombroso...Vai se juntar ao céu de tantos talentos que já foram...<br />
<br />
Well...life, as we know it, in material terms, is not endless. It definitely ends. Pity it takes talents such as Pete Postlethwaite. I remember the first time I saw "In the name of the Father", Pete's performance, impressed me much more than that of Daniel Day-Lewis. Sure, I love Daniel Day-Lewis, he's my fetish actor, but Pete, was astounding...He will join a myriad of talents in heaven who have already gone...<br />
