IO CHE AMO SOLO TE - Sergio Endrigo
C'è gente che ha avuto mille cose,
tutto il bene, tutto il male del mondo.
Io ho avuto solo te
e non ti perderò,
non ti lascerò
per cercare nuove avventure.
C'è gente che ama mille cose
e si perde per le strade del mondo.
Io che amo solo te,
io mi fermerò
e ti regalerò
quel che resta
della mia gioventù.
Io ho avuto solo te
e non ti perderò,
non ti lascerò
per cercare nuove illusioni.
C'e' gente che ama mille cose
e si perde per le strade del mondo.
Io che amo solo te,
io mi fermerò
e ti regalerò
quel che resta
della mia gioventù.
If you have black or brown hair, and been to the beach lately working on your tan, you may consider staying away from Arizona!
Racial profiling?
Hello world,
Yesterday I attended my daughter’s 8th grade graduation. What a feeling! It’s so amazing to see these young children grown and develop into vigorous and aspiring young adults. I remember when my daughter and her friends used to run around the house happy as a lark, watching “Dexter’s Laboratory”, or “CatDog,” eating their hot dogs, trading their Yugioh Cards, and playing Super-Mario without a care in the world.
Today they are skyping with their friends, texting 24/7, hooked on XBox 360, worried about what clothes to wear, thinking they are in love (I just remembered the horse track TV commercial, “run baby, run!”), aware of the importance of GPA & SAT scores to get into a good college, aspiring MIT, Duke, and Harvard, taking honors and AP classes, feeling the pressure, and planning on getting their driver’s license permit. Wow!
As I saw them all dressed up in their suits, elaborate dresses, & high heels, receiving their awards, and making deep speeches concerning the future, I was incredibly proud and could feel a whole sense of accomplishment fill up the auditorium. What a memorable night it was! I was also thinking I needed to pay a visit to a dermatologist, find myself some serious hair stylist, and double check if Pitanguy still around. Where did the years go?
XOXOXO,
Cheers!
It’s been five months without you mom... No more phone calls, no more pouring out my frustrations or celebrating good moments, getting advice, cracking up jokes, laughing, telling stories, and no more anticipating the moment of arrival to give you that big hug... I wonder if things would’ve been different if I never left, or if they had allowed you to come and see me. It’s all too late now, isn't it?… Forgive me for not being there, mom. I've been lost without you. There's no one to really talk to anymore, and I miss you deeply!
Eu amo você, mãe!
Tá difícil...
Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. Ralph and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital.
One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool. Ralph suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there. Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled him out. When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna's heroic act she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable.
When she went to tell Edna the news she said, 'Edna, I have good news and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged, since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of the person you love. I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness.
The bad news is, Ralph hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead.' Edna replied, 'He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry. How soon can I go home?
XOXOXO,
Cheers!
Lay off the pills, lay off the drugs, and connect with one another… The lack of connection (shhh… and money) is the root of all evil… Ohhhh, come on! The money thing was a joke… Don’t give me that mug. Where’s your sense of humor?
If you feel offended by the title of this post, now is the time to exit. By staying you are acknowledging that you are of adult legal age, wherever part of the world you may be. Wait... Let’s make it the planet. One can never know... In the land of “Sue Happy People," there’s no such thing as overly protecting yourself. .
XOXOXO,
Cheers!
It's Sunday! Way back in the day Sunday used to be an amazing day, a sort of family and friend's day. You knew that either you would be going to someone's house, or your house would be full of people. It was a day to have a special lunch, or a barbecue with your buddies, conversation, music, fresh flowers, or perhaps a major trip to the beach with the whole entourage, where half the kitchen would be packed in the trunk of the car… LOL! Yes, because there was no such thing as going home after two hours or so. It was a whole day affair. I miss those days...
Today I have the newest TV, a car where my kids can watch movies and plug their video games in case they run out of charge, a Coach purse (that you better believe I didn't pay full price for), the alleged opportunity to make loads of money (although I'm still broke), a set of amenities for my children (who have no idea what it means to actually play outside, and cannot conceive the thought of any fun that doesn't involve some kind of electronic device), and accomplished academic college degree on the wall. I think you got the examples and you know where I'm going with this. Yet, I'm constantly worried about money, there's no music playing, no family coming over (in fact I missed a great deal of their lives because I wasn't around, and today some of them are already DEAD - the word deceased doesn't do justice), less than a hand full of real friends, and no special lunch or barbecue going on today... But hey, I bought fresh flowers!
Do I dislike where I've been living for the past 20 years? Absolutely not. I love it! I love the efficiency, the power of purchase, the opportunities, the beach... It's not about that. It's not about hearing the infamous, "go back to your country" overrated line. I can care less about idiotic and ignorant people oblivious about the history of their "own country." It's about choices we make, it's about recognizing that we cannot have it all (unless you win the lottery), it's about weighing pros and cons and making decisions, it's about balance, it's about venting and expressing feelings (I haven't signed up for the psychiatry "Pill Popper Club" yet, so I have to deal with reality), it's about reminiscing over a time when things were so much simpler, when caring & loving & being myself was all I needed; when spontaneity, and genuine hugs were part of my day (note, I said genuine). It's about acceptance and sense of humor…
Ohhhh well... I better put a sock in it... I guess I had my fix for today. I believe I saved $150 in therapy fees.
It's Sunday and life is not so bad after all.
XOXOXO,
Cheers!
Close friends of mine are aware of the fact that when I begin suffering from human warmth depravation I pack my bags and go to Brazil. As good as I feel when I arrive in Rio and hang out with friends and family, enjoying amazing beaches, stuffing my face with bolinhos de bacalhau (cod fritters), and getting toasted on caipirinhas, the unanticipated time to leave is something that I have to deal with, and once I get home, it takes a little while to get that whole fever out of my body… Thanks to the internet, I can browse around for a couple of days, manage my descent, and ease into my routine… On that note, while cruising around, I stumbled on a Blog called “John in Brazil.” The post was about Buzios, and anything related to the Lakes Region is right up my alley. But what I thought was really funny was the way the blogger summarized the caipirinha, “Tasty, by deadly.” I think he nailed it… LOL! So here's the inspiration for this post: "How to make a Caipirinha." :) Don't be fool! It's sweet, but it'll knock you out...
XOXOXO,
Cheers!
Sergio Vieira de Mello, a Brazilian United Nation’s diplomat and well known humanitarian killed in the Canal Hotel Bombing in Iraq, along with 20 other members of his staff on August 19, 2003. Sergio was serving as the Secretary-General's Special Representative in Iraq. Here's a short preview of the 2009 heart-wrenching documentary from HBO entitled “SERGIO," well worth watching... This morning, I came across it again, and I thought I should should make a note...
Hi guys... I found (achei) a list of restaurants, pubs, and hang out spots in Cabo Frio. There's nothing like the locals' opinions of the hottest spots to have a good time... Let me know your input, and I'll be sure to stop by next time... I'll start with "Cilada Drink's." I loved the name... It's right up my alley. It sounds like such a tease and an invitation to go... Lol!

There was a time when May 3rd was a much anticipated day. I couldn’t wait for my birthday cake, friends, family, music, and hours of good old human warmth, and family fun. Today, as I sit here, all that I can do is cry… I never felt so alone. Happy Birthday to me! I miss you mom :(
