thwarted

not by myself - this time.

it aches, it does.

contando

calorias.

eu cheguei à conclusão de que paz de espírito/euforia/felicidade não eliminam o poder engordativo dos alimentos.

crente que o céu era perto, passei os últimos dois meses na esbórnia, sem fazer exercício nenhum, pra ajudar a natureza no seu jogo gravitacio-engordacional. resultado? de tantos guaiamuns, choppinhos e caldinhos de feijão? 5 amigos a mais na balança, pra conversar comigo e com a maldita [eu sou daquela série de pessoas: 'eu converso com a balança' - na verdade eu a xingo, quase sempre].

o que significa, jaqueira: me aguarde. amigos glicosados ao extremo: adeus, nos vemos num futuro distante. h2O e coffea arabica: welcome and be always around...

to live

"[...]

no one wants to die. even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. and yet death is the destination we all share. no one has ever escaped it. and that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. it is Life's change agent. it clears out the old to make way for the new. right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. and most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. they somehow already know what you truly want to become. everything else is secondary.

stay hungry. stay foolish."

(excerpt from the commencement address delivered on june 12, 2005 @ stanford university)

ah,

the burden of recurring losses
the weight of intrinsic suffering

the thrifty understanding that makes us revel in a sea of woe

angst, be thou gone

songs

of faith

and devotion
