WellÂ Once is funnyÂ Twice?...
Twice is a little scaryÂ
Just take a look at this:

First (three weeks ago)Â

Second (today)Â

I just couldnÂt believe it the first time, and then imagine a second oneÂ
Will someone tell me who or whom sent me this?...
I am between really over joy and in a state of ÂI canÂt believe it!ÂÂ

WowwwwwwwwwwwwÂ

I just want to tell you Thank YouÂ So please, who is my own personal ÂSanta ClausÂ?

While I am waiting on my next interviewer to answer my questions
[he (yes is a male artist) is, and I quote Âa little stressedÂ end of quoteÂ]
I thought I would make a journal with a little interview I read in a Portuguese magazine to myselfÂ
Well consider this a TagÂ And no one has tagged meÂ Well, I tagged myselfÂ
Does it sounds crazy to you?... I donÂt mindÂ
Just bare with me and my happinessÂ

So here it is:

Sex or ChocolateÂ Or Sex with Chocolate?

HmmmmÂ Why should we loose one if we can have both? Everything in itÂs right time.

The alcohol is like the postal codeÂ half the way done?

Alchool? That thing we use in our wounds to clean it? I hear itÂs ÂburnsÂ like hell.

Sex before... Love after?

Before, After, During. Why state limits?

Love is a Soap OperaÂ Sex is a Movie?

I must say that from those two, I really enjoy reading a book. It forces more your imagination.

Size matters?

I am XL woman. Is that size we are talking about?

On wheels the thing has more emotion?

More feet on the ground and head on itÂs right place.

ÂLadyAnubisÂ DiaryÂ

My first interview was an honorÂ
My second oneÂ Well, I really donÂt know how to describe itÂ
I found *Ex-po-zure in the gallery of a great artist and decided to check it outÂ
I must say it was love at first sightÂ
*Ex-po-zure is there to give YOU a chance to get noticed and where your work will be shownÂ
A club where people meet and share the same interests about photographyÂ
So I become a memberÂ
As days went by I started to notice something, the clubÂs founder amazing workÂ
Lady Marianne aka `babyducksÂ
She and her work are an inspiration, so I have challenged her to do this interviewÂ And as always she was kind enough to say yesÂ

So with no further delaysÂ I give you the wonderfulÂ

So, letÂs start from the beginning: Who are you Marianne?

I was born on Long Island New York.
I have 6 brothers and sisters, 2 of my brothers share a love of photography. *SteelCowboy has an active account here.
They have both had experience with film and darkroom. I have not.
I now live in Florida, for the past 16 years, my 3 sisters followed me to Florida.
I live with my family in New Smyrna Beach and my sisters all live very close by.
I have to say my life here in New Smyrna Beach is perfect.
I work in a small hospital, I am a Social Worker, and I dabble with photography mainly as a hobby.

Photography: What got you to go into that world?

I started to get into photography before I moved to Florida, bought my first SLR a Minolta and I loved it.
I had a pretty amazing lens, it was a Sigma, but it was awesome.
Although I did not develop my own work, I very quickly learned that I loved shooting. You know the excitement you have when you get your
photos back and there is that one "awesome" shot that just makes you want to pee yourself.
I remember going to the Airport and photographing the big planes at LaGuardia Airport as they were coming in for a landing.
Yes I used to stand just outside the fence at the end of the runway. Man, you would think those suckers were going to land on your head.
It was thrilling.
At this point in my life, photography was not something I spent an enormous amount of time on.

Have you dad some kind of formal training?

I have no formal training.
I have to say that although I've used a camera as many people do for many many years, that it wasn't until the past 2 years that I began to
truly want to learn more about photography, and about using my camera.
I'm still learning, and I still have so much to learn.
I continue to dabble with it, my time is very limited and I don't get the opportunity to shoot as much as I'd like to.

How would you describe your evolution as a photographer my dear?

Since I don't really consider my self a photographer, this is a hard question to answer.
I guess I could say that I'm evolving slowly, and more so in the past couple of years. So like a snail, hee hee.

Did you ever took photos with a film camera? If so, how did digital photography change your view of photography?

Yes, I started out using film. Was very happy with my camera, loved it.
I remember when digital was first introduced. I thought I'd never buy a digital camera.
What for? My film camera was perfect.
I refused to think that digital could compete.
I have to admit that I'm so glad that I made the switch. Digital has opened a world of possibilities and more room for personal growth.

Marianne, I am sure you had some important influences and inspirations which have shaped a little your vision as a photographer, care to share some with us?

ÂLadyAnubisÂ DiaryÂ

SoÂ Here it isÂ My first InterviewÂ
I have chanleged two good friendsÂ I guess I can call them thatÂ
And the first one I have the pleasure to share with you is

Mr. John De Bord
aka

I met John and is wonderful art through the club *Ex-po-zure and fell in love with his photography from the very first minuteÂ I see a lot of talent in his photosÂ And so, I wanted to learn moreÂ John is a really nice person, who from the start as always been so kind to share all his knowledgeÂsÂ
I have learned a lot from him and still want to learn moreÂ You all know what I think about sharing talent, and he is a great example of thatÂ
So with no futher delays, here is my interviewÂ

Who is John aka kkart?...

Well, that is a good question! LOL Sometimes I'm not even sure who the heck I am! I suppose you could say some guy in his late 30s with a camera, who is a dreamer, passionate about the photos he takes, a romantic, sharing his little corner of the world with everyone else, because so often what we see around us is ugly, and I try to bring the beauty out. Someone who loves Nature, Landscape, Wildlife, & Retro Photography.

What initial inspired you to enter the world of photography?...

This one I had to think about for a minute. I needed a career change....as making as an illustrator wasn't going the way that I had planned, and I remember about 5 1/2 - 6 years ago seeing this image posted of a sunrise on an illustration email list I used to belong to, and saying to myself "wow"...and how the person had just taken it that morning. It was take on an Olympus Camedia 3000, if memory servers right....I was astonished, at the quality, and that was the first time, that digital photography really showed some promise to me, in terms of resolution. But I think it was that very image that really got me thinking. It has forever left it's impression on me.

Did you have any formal training?...

Yes indeed I do. I was required to take classes in photography while going to Rocky Mountain College of Art & Design in Denver, Colorado, while working on my BFA Degree in Illustration. Funny, I had literally no interest in it at all at that time, but after the first day of class under my professor, Mark Simms, I was hooked. It was all B&W film darkroom based. Sigh...I miss the smell of Fixer and Stop Bath!

For how many years have you been doing photography, and how would you describe your evolution as a photographer?...

Well, I started in 1995, and that went until 1999....then I would put the camera down for awhile, as life threw some real curve balls...and I would essentially pick it back up in 2003. Though it has really only been the last 2 1/2 years I have been doing it seriously.

My evolution is a strange one, a very strange one indeed. Having come from film, shooting almost exclusively B&W or Slide film, my subject matter really centered around the whole Rockabilly music scene...the hotrods, the bands, the style of clothing, the parties, the Harley's, the dancing, the whole 'kulture' if you will. If it didn't involve that I wasn't THAT interested in shooting it. That essentially changed when I met my x-fiance, who for my birthday, took me to Rocky Mountain National Park here in Colorado for my birthday back in 1996, and she lugged along this old AGFA Rangefinder...and I all my old manual Richoh gear, and that was the first time I had ever shot landscapes, and have been hooked ever since. So that is how I got started in Nature Photography. Later after getting my digital camera, I would start to explore Retro and Street photography.... ]]> *LadyAnubis ...Pseudo Journalist... http://LadyAnubis.deviantart.com/journal/18251910/ http://LadyAnubis.deviantart.com/journal/18251910/ Sat, 10 May 2008 04:34:27 PDT Feelings

I have found some amazing people, some wonderful artists and most of them are kind enough to share their knowledge with everybodyÂ
So I thought (and no, this is not an original idea, duhhh): Why not make some interviews to some great artists here in dA?...

ÂLooking out on the morning rain
I used to feel so uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
But you're the key to my peace of mind

Cause you make me feel, you make me feel, you make me feel like
A natural woman

When my soul was in the lost-and-found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
Till your kiss helped me name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for
And if I make you happy I don't need to do more

Cause you make me feel, you make me feel, you make me feel like
A natural woman

Oh, baby, what you've done to me
You make me feel so good inside
And I just want to be close to you
You make me feel so alive
You make me feel, you make me feel, you make me feel like
A natural womanÂÂ

ÂSports has the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat, thanks in part to the old ABC show Wide World of Sports. In this case we can use sports as a metaphor for life because life is full of victory and defeat all the way from birth to death. This is cool thing, and sometimes the uncomfortable thing, about being a photojournalist; you get to be there for the whole ride. In fact, my dream is to put together a book about the seasons of life. Emotions are what make life interesting. Without emotions all you would have is blank people walking around a blank world doing blank tasks. Add emotion and you put the spice into life. We are jubilant when we succeed and we are downcast when we fail but both success and failure are all a part of living.

As a photojournalist, documenting the emotion of life is what we are all about. Emotionless assignments are the worst assignments and make the worst pictures. If you get emotion in your photos your photos will sing with the vibrancy of life. The counter side of this is emotion is often very difficult to get. People tend to shy away from the camera in any situation but particularly so when they are showing negative emotion. Some folks will even shy away when they are showing positive emotions if that is out of character for them. Then there are the actors in life that will show you whatever emotion they think you are looking for. I really hate those situations because the emotion is fake and comes across as fake and the people look like they are faking.

But when it all comes together and you have a genuine moment, life is good. There is not a lot of technique to this post. You have to be there and be prepared. If it is a situation where you have to set up lights, make sure you are set up and tested before the event you are covering begins. Given a little time, most people stop thinking about you and the lights and just get down to doing what they do. Make sure you have the cameras and lenses set and ready because emotion does tend to be fleeting. If you miss it you canÂt go back and get it. Catching emotion is all about snatching that magical moment that was all too frequently there and gone in a few moments. The great thing is when you catch those fleeting emotions you have created a metaphor for what the person went through to get to that particular moment in their lives. All that came before is encapsulated in that moment. Did you get it?Â

ÂQue "a juventude estÃ¡ perdida e nÃ£o tem emenda", jÃ¡ todos sabemos. Ã um discurso velho, sempre presente naqueles que jÃ¡ perderam a memÃ³ria da sua propria juventude. NÃ£o vamos aqui partilhar convosco memÃ³rias da nossa juventude, mas sim reflectir muito brevemente sobre um tema proposto: a violÃªncia na Escola.

A violÃªncia Ã© um tema do nosso quotidiano. A Escola que, felizmente, nÃ£o vive retirada desse quotidiano nem isolada do mundo, nÃ£o escapa a esse clima de violÃªncia. Para uns, ela Ã© o espelho dessa violÃªncia, para outros Ã©, ela mesma, geradora de violÃªncia. Alunos, professores, pais e encarregados de educaÃ§Ã£o, aqueles que formamos a comunidade educativa, somos sujeitos e objectos dessa violÃªncia.

Todos conhecemos alunos para quem a Escola "Ã© uma seca" (o temo sugere uma situaÃ§Ã£o de carÃªncia de um bem absoluto). Nesta autÃªntica travessia do deserto, o Ãºnico oÃ¡sis parece ser o grupo de pares, os colegas, aqueles que padecem da mesma sede. E um ou outro "stÃ´r mais fixe", isto Ã©, capaz de uma compreensÃ£o empÃ¡tica.
Para estes alunos, se nÃ£o fosse o tempo e o espaÃ§o de sociabilidade que a Escola oferece, esta seria completamente insuportÃ¡vel. Os espaÃ§os de lazer e convÃvio sÃ£o espaÃ§os de liberdade. As salas de aula um cÃ¡rcere. Este desconforto parece ser causado pelo divÃ³rcio entre os objectivos da Escola - o que a Escola Ã© e pretende que o aluno venha a ser - e os objectivos dos alunos. A proposta que a Escola faz aos alunos, baseada num sistema de valores e num conjunto de saberes, parece nÃ£o ser aliciante para um nÃºmero significativo deles. Para esses, os objectivos, que se definem por aquilo que a sociedade lhe mostra que Ã© importante para se viver e vencer, sÃ£o outros. Vale a pena o investimento aplicado no estudo, o esforÃ§o do trabalho intelectual? Para quÃª? NÃ£o hÃ¡ - e a realidade encarrega-se de o demonstrar - formas mais fÃ¡ceis de lÃ¡ chegar? A vida nÃ£o estÃ¡ reservada para aqueles que "sabem viver"? Ã lÃ³gica do aprofundamento e do estudo, contrapÃµe-se a lÃ³gica da superficialidade; Ã lÃ³gica da sistematizaÃ§Ã£o e do trabalho, contrapÃµe-se a lÃ³gica do menor esforÃ§o; Ã lÃ³gica do empenho pessoal, contrapÃµe-se a lÃ³gica do sucesso por um preÃ§o mais baixo. E, bem vistas as coisas, nÃ£o Ã© isso mesmo que a sociedade - a sociedade em que se inserem os seus pais, os seus professores, os adultos - lhes demonstra? Estudar e tirar um curso para ficar no desemprego ou, na melhor das hipÃ³teses, para ganhar uma misÃ©ria?

Este divÃ³rcio, entre os objectivos da Escola e os interesses do aluno, pode ser reforÃ§ado se houver um conflito de valores e principios entre a FamÃlia e a Escola. Quando estes dois sistemas nÃ£o sÃ£o complementares - por exemplo, quando os pais nÃ£o cooperam positivamente com a Escola - o aluno sente reforÃ§ada a crenÃ§a de que "nÃ£o vale a pena".

Todos conhecemos professores para quem o dia-a-dia Ã© violento e gerador de stress - um signo do nosso quotidiano - mesmo antes de entrarem nas suas Escolas. Professores que, para conseguirem conciliar as exigÃªncias de formaÃ§Ã£o com as suas responsabilidades familiares e profissionais, tÃªm que se deslocar diariamente mais de uma centena de quilÃ³metros. Outros hÃ¡ que sÃ£o forÃ§ados a viver afastados das suas famÃlias e experimentam angustiantes situaÃ§Ãµes de separaÃ§Ã£o. Outros, ainda, viram os seus laÃ§os afectivos - de que tanto dependem a seguranÃ§a e o bem-estar - quebrados e a necessitarem de ser refeitos. Face a esta violÃªncia quotidiana, ditada pelas "exigÃªncias da profissÃ£o", que disponibilidade terÃ£o para o desempe... ]]> *LadyAnubis ...32 Flavors ... http://LadyAnubis.deviantart.com/journal/17486259/ http://LadyAnubis.deviantart.com/journal/17486259/ Sun, 30 Mar 2008 10:01:08 PDT Feelings

squint your eyes and look closer
I'm not between you and your ambition
I am a poster girl with no poster
I am thirty-two flavors and then some
and I'm beyond your peripheral vision
so you might want to turn your head
cause someday you're going to get hungry
and eat most of the words you just said

both my parents taught me about good will
and I have done well by their names
just the kindness I've lavished on strangers
is more than I can explain
still there's many who've turned out their porch lights
just so I would think they were not home
and hid in the dark of their windows
til I'd passed and left them alone

and god help you if you are an ugly girl
course too pretty is also your doom
cause everyone harbors a secret hatred
for the prettiest girl in the room
and god help you if you are a pheonix
and you dare to rise up from the ash
a thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy
while you are just flying back

I'm not trying to give my life meaning
by demeaning you
and I would like to state for the record
I did everything that I could do
I'm not saying that I'm a saint
I just don't want to live that way
no, I will never be a saint
but I will always say

squint your eyes and look closer
I'm not between you and your ambition
I am a poster girl with no poster
I am thirty-two flavors and then some
And I'm beyond your peripheral vision
So you might want to turn your head
Cause someday you might find you're starving
and eating all of the words you said

ÂLadyAnubisÂ DiaryÂ

"LOVE IS NOT A RELATIONSHIP. Love relates, but it is not a relationship. A relationship is something finished. A relationship is a noun; the full stop has come, the honeymoon is over. Now there is no joy, no enthusiasm, now all is finished. You can carry it on, just to keep your promises. You can carry it on because it is comfortable, convenient, cozy. You can carry it on because there is nothing else to do. You can carry it on because if you disrupt it, it is going to create much trouble for youÂ Relationship means something complete, finished, closed.

Love is never a relationship; love is relating. It is always a river, flowing, unending. Love knows no full stop; the honeymoon begins but never ends. It is not like a novel that starts at a certain point and ends at a certain point. It is an ongoing phenomenon. Lovers end, love continuesÂ it is a continuum. It is a verb, not a noun.

And why do we reduce the beauty of relating to relationship? Why are we in such a hurry? Because to relate is insecure, and relationship is a security. Relationship has a certainty; relating is just a meeting of two strangers, maybe just an overnight stay and in the morning we say goodbye. Who knows what is going to happen tomorrow? And we are so afraid that we want to make it certain, we want to make it predictable. We would like tomorrow to be according to our ideas; we don't allow it freedom to have its own say. So we immediately reduce every verb to a noun.

You are in love with a woman or a man and immediately you start thinking of getting married. Make it a legal contract. Why? How does the law come into love? The law comes into love because love is not there. It is only a fantasy, and you know the fantasy will disappear. Before it disappears settle down, before it disappears do something so it becomes impossible to separate.

In a better world, with more meditative people, with a little more enlightenment spread over the earth, people will love, love immensely, but their love will remain a relating not a relationship. And I am not saying that their love will be only momentary. There is every possibility their love may go deeper than your love, may have a higher quality of intimacy, may have something more of poetry and more of godliness in it. And there is every possibility their love may last longer than your so-called relationship ever lasts. But it will not be guaranteed by the law, by the court, by the policeman. The guarantee will be inner. It will be a commitment from the heart, it will be a silent communion.

If you enjoy being with somebody, you would like to enjoy it more and more. If you enjoy the intimacy, you would like to explore the intimacy more and more. And there are a few flowers of love which bloom only after long intimacies. There are seasonal flowers too; within six weeks they are there, in the sun, but within six weeks again they are gone forever. There are flowers that take years to come, and there are flowers that take many years to come. The longer it takes, the deeper it goes. But it has to be a commitment from one heart to another heart. It has not even to be verbalized, because to verbalize it is to profane it. It has to be a silent commitment; eye to eye, heart to heart, being to being. It has to be understood, not said.

Forget relationships and learn how to relate.

Once you are in a relationship you start taking each other for grantedÂ that's what destroys all love affairs. The woman thinks she knows the man, the man thinks he knows the woman. Nobody knows either! It is impossible to know the other, the other remains a mystery. And to take the other for granted is insulting, disrespectful.

To think that you know your wife is very, very ungrateful. How can you know the woman? How can you know the man? They are processes, they are not things. The woman that you knew yesterday is not there today. So much water has gone down the Ganges; she is somebody else, totally different. Relate again, start again, don't take it for granted.

ÂSome things in life are bad,
They can really make you mad,
Other things just make you swear and curse,
When you're chewing life's gristle,
Don't grumble,
Give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best.
And...

Always look on the bright side of life.
Always look on the light side of life.

If life seems jolly rotten,
There's something you've forgotten,
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps,
Don't be silly chumps.
Just purse your lips and whistle.
That's the thing.
And...

Always look on the bright side of life.
Always look on the right side of life,

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word.
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin.
Give the audience a grin.
Enjoy it. It's your last chance, anyhow.
So,...

Always look on the bright side of death,
Just before you draw your terminal breath.

Life's a piece of shit,
When you look at it.
Life's a laugh and death's a joke it's true.
You'll see it's all a show.
Keep 'em laughing as you go.
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.

ÂMelekalikimakaÂ is ÂMerry ChristmasÂ in a beautiful little island in HawaiÂ I know that from a Christmas carol I taught my kids at school and I simply love the way it soundsÂ

So I guess I wish each and every one of YOU, that are in my heart and all the rest:
A beautiful, warm, peaceful and filled with happinessÂ

ÂMALEKALIKIMAKAÂ

. .

And nowÂ I give you a text I just found in the internet, that I believe to be simply wonderfulÂ Do you know when you ask someone what they wish for Christmas and they answer: NothingÂ Right, you know what I am talking aboutÂ *giggle* So this gentleman, Mr. Jeff Westover has come up with the greatest idea for giving Nothing has a presentÂ Read it and you will seeÂ

. .

ÂThe first Christmas for us really wasn't so hard. After all, we were in love and there was nothing else more important. Sure, being a couple changed the holidays for us but wasn't everything else different too?

It wasn't until life and routine settled upon us that it got difficult. First came one baby and then another. Living off my meager wages so that my dear wife could be home with the kids made things a little tough. We felt lucky to provide them with socks and underwear for Christmas. There just wouldn't be anything left over for each other.

I was all too much the victim of a society that programs us to measure such things as Christmas in things. I may not have openly admitted it at the time but not getting my wife anything for Christmas somehow made me less of a person, a friend, and a companion. I had to do something.

Of course, she didn't help a bit either.
Knowing our circumstance and taking a position so typical of a devoted mother, when I asked her what she wanted for Christmas she did not hesitate to respond. "Oh, nothing. I'm fine."

"Nothing," I thought. "Just what Christmas needs, a martyr. Thanks for the help, sweetheart."

I was hoping she would suggest a new pair of nylons or perhaps something small but useful like a new lipstick or even a box of cereal. But she didn't even bother to give me an idea of a simple little luxury that would brighten her day. No, she would be content with nothing.

"Fine," I thought. "If it is nothing she wants, it will be nothing that she gets."
And with that, I partnered with my computer and invented the world's greatest gift. A few minutes at my word processor and a couple of printed pages later, I had devised a gift more clever and meaningful than any other I had given before.
I had invented Nothing. And there, under the tree and beautifully wrapped, was a box full of nothing just what she asked for! neatly explained on two mere pieces of white paper. How simple Christmas had become!

This is what the paper said:

For you, my sweetheart, I give you the desire of your heart this Christmas NOTHING.
NOTHING is truly an incredible product. In fact, NOTHING is needed in every home and family. Not since the introduction of casinos has capitalism produced such a perfect product. Look at what NOTHING can do:

NOTHING slices.
NOTHING dices.
NOTHING is fat free.
NOTHING cuts cholesterol.
NOTHING cures cancer.
NOTHING makes you happy.
NOTHING is Y2K compliant.
NOTHING is acid free.
NOTHING is antibacterial.
NOTHING is recyclable.
NOTHING is delivered.
NOTHING is preferred by 3 out of 4 dentists.
NOTHING is new and improved.
NOTHING comes with a 30-day free trial.
NOTHING is guaranteed not to chip, crack or peel.
NOTHING can be had for low money down.
NOTHING tastes great and is less filling!

What would you pay for such an amazing product? $19.95? Maybe $39.95? DON'T ANSWER UNTIL YOU SEE THAT:

NOTHING is politically correct.
NOTHING beats a great pair of legs. (Sorry, couldn't help it)
NOTHING controls tartar.
NOTHING is on time.
NOTHING is freshe... ]]> *LadyAnubis ...Twilight... http://LadyAnubis.deviantart.com/journal/15459937/ http://LadyAnubis.deviantart.com/journal/15459937/ Sat, 17 Nov 2007 14:27:25 PST Feelings

ÂEstou entre o dia e a noite:
Demasiado acordada para saborear a escuridÃ£o
Demasiado adormecida para poder viver.

Estou entre a vida e a morte:
Deixei jÃ¡ para trÃ¡s os meus amores
Deixei ainda ao vento, soltos, os que partiram.

Estou petrificada num momento:
Encontrei nele a perfeiÃ§Ã£o
Encontrei na perfeiÃ§Ã£o o meu crepÃºsculo.

Como uma loba solitÃ¡ria
Sei que nÃ£o vou ficar
Mas recuso-me a partir.

Estou entre o dia e a noite:
Estou entre a vida e a morte:

Sou a manhÃ£ do passado
O anoitecer do futuro.
Sou tudo o que desprezas, mas temes.
Tudo aquilo de que foges, mas persegues.

Sou o fantasma que persiste.
Quando fechares os olhos para sempre.
Sou a tempestade que nÃ£o vÃªs
A imagem que te olha no espelho.
O que sentes sussurrar no teu ouvido.
Sou a tua consciÃªncia que te acusa.

Sou o que Ã©s, quando mentes.
Cada palavra, cada gesto
Que tu teimas em guardar.

E por isso como eu
EstÃ¡s entre o dia e a noite:
EstÃ¡s entre a vida e a morteÂ

Alberto Malheiro

David... That you may know as , has taken the time to translate this poem... So I am going to share it with you...

To you my sweet David an enourmous "Thank YOU"...

"I am between day and night:
Too awake to savour the darkness
Too asleep to live.

I am between life and death:
I left behind the ones I love
I left loose in the wind all of those who have left.

I am petrified in a moment:
I found in it perfection
I found perfection in my Twilight.

Like a lone wolf
I know I will not stay
But I refuse to leave.

I am between day and night:
I am between life and death:

I am the morning of the past
The dusk of the future.
I am all that you despise and fear.
All that you wish to escape, but just hunt.

I am the ghost that persists.
When you close your eyes forever.
I am the storm that you don't see
The image you look at in the mirror.
What you sense whispering in your ear.
It is your conscience which accuses you.

I am what you are, when you lie.
Every word, every gesture
That you insist on guarding.

And so as I
You are between day and night
You are between life and death"

ÂAnother curse...another dream,
Although not so real as it may seem.
Silent summon upon the wild,
The words spoken by this wolf child.

In shadows glows a wicked gleam,
Fallen once more in the river's stream.
The witch's smile that seems to call,
As I once more shall take this fall.

And as the wolf walks in pride,
Silent and deadly...the devil's bride,
Under the moon's silver arc....

My mystery lady under dark light,
No one quite like her...this strange sight,
Fair lady upon the dark....Â

This is a poem that was written for me a long time agoÂ
It felt so good to read it againÂ
I guess I just needed some beautiful words to make me feel goodÂ
Words have that effectÂ Said in the perfect hour can make all the differenceÂ
Thank You MarcoÂ My sweet princeÂ
Thank You for reminding me how important I can beÂ

SoÂ WhatÂs been happening latelyÂ
LetÂs see:

I am the new administrator of the Portuguese club
And I am so proud of itÂ Feel free to join it if you are not already a memberÂ And to annoy me if you have any doubtÂ *aww*

My sweet Âmanita da luaÂ and my friend have finally started to publish their written project ÂSete LuasÂÂ It is in Portuguese, and I canÂt help feeling a little sad for all of you that donÂt understand our mother tongue, because it is simply beautifulÂ You can see it in Â Go check it outÂYou wonÂt regret itÂ

My club, Grupo Desportivo da Ilha, a team that plays futsal, has climbed to the 2sd division and is going to have its first match this week endÂ I am its most devoted fan, so I am going to watch the game in the first rowÂ

And I guess thatÂs all for nowÂ
I have some photos to post here but they still need a little work, and time is something that I have been not havingÂ Be patientÂ

Â All the fear has left me now
I'm not frightened anymore
It's my heart that pounds beneath my flesh
it's my mouth that pushes out this breath
and if I shed a tear I won't cage it
I won't fear love
and if I feel a rage I won't deny it
I won't fear love
Companion to our demons
they will dance, and we will play
With chairs, candles, and cloth
making darkness in the day
It will be easy to look in or out
upstream or down without a thought
and if I shed a tear I won't cage it
I won't fear love
and if I feel a rage I won't deny it
I won't fear love
Peace in the struggle
to find peace
comfort on the way
to comfort
and if I shed a tear I won't cage it
I won't fear love
and if I feel a rage I won't deny it
I won't fear love
I won't fear love
I won't fear love...Â

So, my holidays are over...
It were a good holiday, and I got a lot doneÂ Certainly not all that I'd planned, but that's pretty standard for a hole month breakÂ
Unfortanely, I did mind waking up early to go to work last Monday, and Tuesday, and WednesdayÂ PfffffffffÂ I think my system is changing as I ageÂ
The week has endedÂ Things are ready to welcome the children next weekÂ Another year that startsÂ Another bunch of little devilsÂ *giggles*

Oh well itÂs back to workÂ

You are wondering how was my birthday?... No?... GreatÂ
*giggle*
But I will tell you anywayÂ It was one of the best and worst I hadÂ ReallyÂ DonÂt think I am crazy (because I am) but it really wasÂ
My true friends were with meÂ
I got beautiful giftsÂ Must say that Marisa and Paulo gave me the gift I loved the mostÂ And JorgeÂ *aww* ÂThere arenÂt enough words to thank you allÂ
Marisa and Milena got me drunk Saturday night but Paulo sober me up in a flashÂ *rofl*

Remember that list I had?... Well. I got nothing from itÂ Not even the one I desired the most Â I donÂt think that it was because I didnÂt deserve it but simply because cruelty was a better choice for himÂ
I guess I will wait till the next one to see what happensÂ
But one thing came up of this:

ÂI am no beautyÂ But I know who I am!Â
Can YOU really say the same?... DonÂt think soÂ

In a more important noteÂ My photographyÂ
(very very important)
I been reading about HDR technique, and I really want to learnÂ
I know I have to practice, and next week I will do that, but if there is anyone who can give me some hints I will be forever gratefulÂ
DonÂt be shyÂ I donÂt biteÂ (well not too muchÂ*giggle*)

This is going to be a little journalÂ I donÂt want to tire your little eyesÂ
See you aroundÂ Coffee is on meÂ

ÂShe brought the Night hidden in her sad Wolf eyes
The perfume of a twilight, her stronghest scent
Half Wolf, Half Female - what a strange weeding
Mother Nature has offered us to seeÂ

Her mask lays lost in a fatal dawn
Closed were the eyes of the Sun. He sleeps.
And in the name of Her Father.
She will kill. My child kills.

You nightly birth. A requiem God canÂt forget.
For your life is just a celebration of his death.
Without his thorns in her heart. She wears a shadow as face.
A werewolf masquerade. In her eyes the wolfshade.

She brought the night and by the night she was brought
We are but children of the powers she had set free
Strange are the ways of the WOLFHEARTEDÂ

ÂHappy Birthday to MEÂ

Wednesday, 29 August 2007

Today is my 36th birthday, and although I think I reached a point several birthdays ago where turning a year older wasnÂt necessarily a thing to celebrate, IÂd have to say that this birthday in particular is one IÂve been trying to stave off more than any other... There is nothing even remotely redeeming about turning 36; it doesnÂt come with special privileges, itÂs totally forgettable, and the only purpose it serves it to remind me that IÂm inching ever closer toward death...
I guess IÂm scared more than anything, not of getting old, necessarily, but of what could possibly happen to me in this 36th year...
I honestly thought my life couldnÂt get any more hectic than when I was 34, and then I turned 35 and all HELL broke loose: I finally manage to buy my own house... Been living alone since then... My car spends more time in the shop than with me lately and is responsible for me being broke... I lost someone that I love so much in a stupid and selfish way, and in the process saw myself without, whom I still want to think is my best friend... Gave up on life and especially on myself... Met a lot of wonderful people that have been showing me the meaning of true friendship and the meaning of life... You could say IÂm a bit fatigued... Just a bit...
ItÂs also weird because IÂve always never minded about age... But today I am thinking for the first time that I am really getting older... Or is it wiser?... *aww*
If I have to be totally honest I have been living far more than I was told I would be... Weird... Really weird... I guess that dying was a sweet punishment... Being alive is a more... How should I call it?... Perfect?... Yes a more perfect punishment...
IÂve decided that for my birthday IÂm going to ask for things I know I canÂt have so that I wonÂt be disappointed when I actually donÂt get them... *giggle* Although in fact I have no strong reasons to complaint... Especially because I always got the right present from my father for instance...

The list includes:

A meal that wonÂt give me even the faintest hint of getting more fat...
A two and a half hour of Moonspell acting especially for me, and me alone...
A new Monster Dark, and yes I know that they are still in the paper...
An extension on my vacation so I can spend it with my princess...
A weekend among the wolves in CRLI... *LadyAnubis ...Photographic Babbling... http://LadyAnubis.deviantart.com/journal/13742533/ http://LadyAnubis.deviantart.com/journal/13742533/ Mon, 13 Aug 2007 08:17:29 PDT Feelings

How can I think I'm standing strong,
Yet feel the air beneath my feet?
How can happiness feel so wrong?
How can misery feel so sweet?
How can you let me watch you sleep,
Then break my dreams the way you do?
How can I have got in so deep?
Why did I fall in love with you?

This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen,
This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known,
I was never crazy on my ownÂ
And now I know that there's a link between the two,
Being close to craziness and being close to you.

How can you make me fall apart
Then break my fall with loving lies?
It's so easy to break a heart;
It's so easy to close your eyes.
How can you treat me like a child
Yet like a child I yearn for you?
How can anyone feel so wild?
How can anyone feel so blue?

...and being close to you
...and being close to you."

ÂThoughtsÂ

Oh wellÂ Today I woke up (well I didnÂt get much sleep so the waking up part is nearly a technicality...) with a strong will to talk about photographyÂ
It could be worstÂ *giggle* I could have a strong will to talk about soap operasÂ

As you know I have been trying (and this is this is the perfect word) to improve my photographic skillsÂ I donÂt think that photography is only a question of natural talent, all though it plays an important role in the processÂ Inspiration is also a part of it but I do believe that ÂtranspirationÂ plays the most important roleÂ I believe in hard workÂ In readingÂ In searchingÂ In taking photos over and over again till we achieve our purposeÂ I love photographing everything, but I must confess that my main goal is portraitsÂ All kinds of itÂ Be able to capture all the different emotions that we can find in peopleÂ I would love to be an Âindiscreet cameraÂ and also work in a studioÂ
I get thereÂ EventuallyÂ

All this to sayÂ That many of my latest hours are spent going through many many web sites and magazines of photographyÂ
Are spent talking to some of the great photographers you can possible imagine, trying to learn from themÂ And believe meÂ They are so niceÂ And are always able to share all their knowledge with youÂ ItÂs amazing when that happensÂ There are some people that when they learn something donÂt share itÂ Or do it in a way that you go: ÂOkÂ I didnÂt got any of thatÂÂ
Sharing is a part of the process of being greatÂ

But enough babblingÂ
I have made a listÂ My own personal list of some wonderful sites you can visitÂ Most of you already know itÂ Some donÂtÂ Most will find it helpfulÂ Some will say: ÂI donÂt need thatÂÂ *giggle* But either way here it isÂ

In numbers too big to ignore

And I know too much to go back an' pretend

'Cause I've heard it all before

And I've been down there on the floor

No one's ever gonna keep me down again

Oh yes, I am wise

But it's wisdom born of pain

Yes, I've paid the price

But look how much I gained

If I have to

I can do anything

I am strong

I am invincible

I AM WOMAN

You can bend but never break me

'Cause it only serves to make me

More determined to achieve my final goal

And I come back even stronger

Not a novice any longer

'Cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul

Oh, yes, I am wise

But it's wisdom born of pain

Yes, I've paid the price

But look how much I gained

If I have to

I can face anything

I am strong

I am invincible

I AM WOMAN

I am woman watch me grow

See me standing toe to toe

As I spread my lovin' arms across the land

But I'm still an embryo

With a long, long way to go

Until I make my brother understand

Oh, I am woman

We are Women

We are strong

We are WOMEN

International Women's Day (8 March) is an occasion marked by women's groups around the world. This date is also commemorated at the United Nations and is designated in many countries as a national holiday. When women on all continents, often divided by national boundaries and by ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic and political differences, come together to celebrate their Day, they can look back to a tradition that represents at least nine decades of struggle for equality, justice, peace and development.

International Women's Day is the story of ordinary women as makers of history; it is rooted in the centuries-old struggle of women to participate in society on an equal footing with men. In ancient Greece, Lysistrata initiated a sexual strike against men in order to end war; during the French Revolution, Parisian women calling for "liberty, equality, fraternity" marched on Versailles to demand women's suffrage.

The idea of an International Women's Day first arose at the turn of the century, which in the industrialized world was a period of expansion and turbulence, booming population growth and radical ideologies.

I got to change the way I live

Can't go on this way

The price is too high to pay

After the rain I feel the sun

See how I run to my destiny

Life is a game I got to learn how to play

I make my own rules

'cause now I am free to choose

Courage and faith will show me the way

See how I run to my destiny

Like the Phoenix I rise From the ashes of life

I don't need fortune or fame

Just some peace of mind

Like the Phoenix I fly leaving the lies behind

Future's golden for me

There is no one who can stop me now

I'm noble and strong

I'm walking down the road that I choose

Each day is a gift And I know that I can't lose

Glorious future is waiting for me

See how I run to my destiny

Yes

Once again I am back from the ashes

Those who know me well know that from times to times I hit bottom

And the last month was too hard for me

My health wasnt good bringing me down

My spirit was shattered and many doubts and fears took over me, as you could see from my two past journals

But now I am back I have gathered my strength and with the help of some friends I have manage to feel stronger Strong enough to face another phase in this life of mine

So sorry if I havent been myself And thank you for all the support and love you have gave me

My sweet and dear friend has dedicated a wonderful photo to me

He is a truly gifted photographer and a beautiful person I have the honour of calling friend

In a interview he gave to The New Nude Magazine in April 2005, Andrew Kaiser wrote:

Gerhardt is acclaimed as one of the finest, most unique and visually compelling Fine-Art-Nude photographers in the world today. His identity is known around the world. His work is published and exhibited internationally and locally. Gerhardt is an Australian living on the northern beaches of Sydney. As a photographer he specializes in shooting the human figure and seeks to focus on the sensual aspects of his subjects rather than the erotic traits of the female form. Combining the beauty of the female form with the natural environment is his trade mark.

I just couldnt agree more

Thank You My Friend

And thank you for sharing your beautiful art

"In the rifted rock I'm resting,

Safely sheltered I abide;

There no foes nor storms molest me,

While within the cleft I hide.

In the rifted rock I'll hide me,

Till the storms of life are past;

All secure in this blest refuge,

Heeding not the fiercest blast.

Now I'm resting, sweetly resting...

E cedo porque me embala And I give in because I'm cradled

Reinaldo Ferreira/ Alain Oulman}

Feeling much better Finnaly But I really dont want to give it many thought I wonder why

The poem you can read above is one of Marizas fado, a tribute to the late Amália and one of my favourites

It speaks a lot to me As some of you know I live alone and I am not scare of it, but sometimes, lying all alone at night in my bed, fears and thoughts come to my mind and I just spend the night awake thinking

At some point in my life things made a tremendous change, and I had to make important decisions One of them was to get my own house and to face life all by myself

It wasnt and still isnt easy but I like it

Even so, fear sometimes assaults me

The fear of not be able to face and win this decision

The fear of staying alone forever

The fear of become a different person, a more cold hearted person

Most of my friends ask me how can I be all by myself and I tell them its ok, that it is easy Small lie, it isnt that easy, well, not all the time

But I really want to win this battle and came out of this feeling great

Babling again I know

I will shut up

Meanwhile, tell me, what do you think about living alone Are you living alone?... Could you find yourself living all by yourself?...

_{Nobody knows

Nobody knows but me

That I sometimes cry

If I could pretend that I'm asleep

When my tears start to fall

I peek out from behind these walls

I think nobody knows

Nobody likes

Nobody likes to lose their inner voice

The one I used to hear before my life

Made a choice

But I think nobody knows

Baby

Oh the secret's safe with me

There's nowhere else in the world that I could ever be

And baby don't it feel like I'm all alone

Who's gonna be there after the last angel has flown

And I've lost my way back home

I think nobody knows no

I said nobody knows

Nobody cares

It's win or lose not how you play the game

And the road to darkness has a way

Of always knowing my name

But I think nobody knows

Tomorrow I'll be there my friend

I'll wake up and start all over again

When everybody else is gone

No no no

Nobody knows

Nobody knows the rhythem of my heart

The way I do when I'm lying in the dark

And the world is asleep

I think nobody knows

Nobody knows

Nobody knows but me

Pink

Do we really know others completely?...

Do we really know ourselves?...

Dont think so This thing of being ill (yes, again I know) makes us have time to think about everthing, and some events that happen to us makes us wonder and question a lot of things

I found myself discovering that I am capable of things I couldnt imagine

I discover every day a new thing in my children at school

Living and sharing life is really a wonderful thing and please dont think for one second that you know someone totally, not even yourself You can have a surprise

But this isnt flash news for you, isnt it?...

Being ill makes me babbling a lot

_{Há palavras que nos beijam There are words that kiss us

Como se tivessem boca Has if they had mouth

Palavras de amor, de esperança.. Words of love, of hope

De imenso amor, de esperança louca Of enormous love, of crazy hope

Palavras nuas que beijas Naked words that you kiss

Quando a noite perde o rosto When the night loses its face

Palavras que se recusam Words that refuse themselves

Aos muros do teu desgosto To the walls of your heartbreak

De repente coloridas Suddenly colorful

Entre palavras sem cor Among words without colour

Esperadas, inesperadas Waited, unexpected

Como a poesia ou o amor Like poetry or love

(O nome de quem se ama The name of whom we love

Letra a letra revelado Reveled letter by letter

No mármore distraído In the marvel distracted

No papel abandonado) Abandoned in the paper

Palavras que nos transportam Words that take us

Aonde a noite é mais forte Where the night is stronger

Ao silêncio dos amantes To the silence of the lovers

Abraçados contra a morte Hugged against death

Alexandre ONeill/Mário Pacheco}

This is mostly a journal to thank all of those friends that have been by my side during the time I was sick And to say thank you for all the words of comfort they have given me

Thank you

There are simple words that when said with meaning make all the difference

And sometimes even a simple smile says it all

I am starting to make some new photos I know I havent posted anything for some time, but I really havent had the will

So expect something soon

UPDATE

I am over myself...

I am so happy...

Today I got home and in the mail box there it was...

The gift I gave myself...

A print I bought from the talented =TheCryBaby

It's more than I was waiting for... Really...

It's so beautiful... I thank you so much my dear for having put it again as print...

This photo is going to a very special place... My bedroom...

Oh and by the way the photo I am talking about is:

Eu queria ser o Mar de altivo porte

Que ri e canta, a vastidão imensa!

Eu queria ser a Pedra que não pensa,

A pedra do caminho, rude e forte!

Eu queria ser o Sol, a luz intensa,

O bem do que é humilde e não tem sorte!

Eu queria ser a Árvore tosca e tensa

Que ri do mundo vão e até da morte!

Mas o Mar também chora de tristeza...

As árvores também, como quem reza,

Abrem, aos Céus, os braços, como um crente!

E o Sol, altivo e forte, ao fim de um dia,

Tem lágrimas de sangue na agonia!

E as Pedras... essas... pisa-as toda a gente!...

_{As coisas vulgares que há na vida ... The simple things in life

Não deixam saudades .... Don't leave us Saudades

Só as lembranças que doem ... Only the memories that hurt

Ou fazem sorrir ... Or make us smile

Há gente que fica na história ... Some people stay in history

da história da gente ... In the history of people

e outras de quem nem o nome ... Others, not even the name

lembramos ouvir ... We remember

São emoções que dão vida ... It's emotions that give life

à saudade que trago ... To the Saudade I have

Aquelas que tive contigo ... Those I had with you

e acabei por perder ... And end up losing

Há dias que marcam a alma ... There are days that touched our soul

e a vida da gente ... And the lives of people

e aquele em que tu me deixaste ... And that one when you left me

não posso esquecer ... I can not forget

A chuva molhava-me o rosto ... The rain falls down on my face

Gelado e cansado ... Cold and tired

As ruas que a cidade tinha ... The old streets of town

Já eu percorrera ... I've walked them all

Ai... meu choro de moça perdida ... My crying of lost girl

gritava à cidade ... Cried out to the city

que o fogo do amor sob chuva ... That the fire of love upon the rain

há instantes morrera ... Had died instants ago

A chuva ouviu e calou ... The rain heard and silenced

meu segredo à cidade ... My secret to the city

E eis que ela bate no vidro ... And then it fall upon the glass window

Trazendo a saudade ... Bringing Saudade

Click Here =>Mariza - Chuva

SAUDADE is a Portuguese word that has no translation...

We can say "missing" but it really doesn't have all it's true meaning...

Saudade is the strongest felling I fealt through 2006...

If I had to name one felling...

Saudade of things... places... but especially of special people...

I really hope that 2007 may calm down all the Saudade I am felling...

I wish you all a Wicked New Year...

_{Have yourself a merry little Christmas,

Let your heart be light

From now on,

Our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,

Make the Yule-tide gay,

From now on,

Our troubles will be miles away.

Here we are as in olden days,

Happy golden days of yore.

Faithful friends who are dear to us

Gather near to us once more.

Through the years

We all will be together,

If the Fates allow

Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.

And have yourself A merry little Christmas now.

This past week Ive been away from here I was missing everybody terribly but there is something that I still dont control and that is my health I try, but I really can't control it... Pffffff...

Oh well... I am felling better now and hopefully things are getting back to normal

We are so close to Christmas so I want to wish you all a

"Wicked" Little Christmas

And now to light things a little I leave you with 2 questions:

Number One

Tell me

If you would see yourself in a bar (or any place else) would you ask you out?...

(And yes, this is not an original question, those who remember know exactly where I took this from)

Number Two

Tell me three presents you would love to have for Christmas

_{She Is my Sin (Wishmaster)

Take heed, dear heart

Once apart, she can touch nor me nor you

Dressed as one

A wolf will betray a lamb

Lead astray the gazers

The razors on your seducing skin

In the meadow of sinful thoughts

Every flowers perfect

To paradise with pleasure haunted by fear

A sin for him

Desire within

A burning veil

For the bride too dear for him

A sin for him

Desire within

Fall in love with your deep dark sin

I am the Fallen

You are what my sins enclose

Lust is not as creative

As its discovery

To paradise with pleasure haunted by fear

A sin for him...

Bless me, undress me

Pick your prey in a wicked way

Esperadas inesperadas

Como a poesia ou o amor.

Ao silêncio dos amantes

Abraçados contra a morte.

Until youve been beside a man

You dont know what he wants

You dont know if he cries at night

You dont know if he dont

When nothing comes easy

Old nightmares are real

Until youve been beside a man

You dont know how he feels

Once inside a womans heart

A man must keep his head

Heaven opens up the door

Where angels fear to tread

Some men go crazy

Some men go slow

Some men go just where they want

Some men never go

Oh blame it on midnight

Ooh shame on the moon

Everywhere its all around

Comfort in a crowd

Strangers faces all around

Laughing right out loud

Hey watch where your going

Step light on old toes

Cause until youve been beside a man

You dont know who he knows

Oh blame it on midnight

Ooh shame on the moon

Oh blame it on midnight

Ooh shame on the moon

Words by Rodney Crowell

So My dear male friends Are these words true?...

And what about you my dears, are we so hard to understand that a some men go crazy and some men never go?...

Do open your hearts

Espero que todos tenham compreendido o texto

Listening to: Haja o que houver
Reading: "Mulheres que correm com os Lobos"

"Um dia a maioria de nós irá separar-se.

Sentiremos saudades de todas as conversas jogadas fora, das descobertas que fizemos, dos sonhos que tivemos, dos tantos risos e momentos que partilhamos.

Saudades até dos momentos de lágrimas, da angústia, das vésperas dos finais de semana, dos finais de ano, enfim... do

companheirismo vivido.

Sempre pensei que as amizades continuassem para sempre.

Hoje não tenho mais tanta certeza disso.

Em breve cada um vai para seu lado, seja pelo destino ou por algum desentendimento, segue a sua vida.

Talvez continuemos a nos encontrar, quem sabe...nas cartas que trocaremos.

Podemos falar ao telefone e dizer algumas tolices...

Aí, os dias vão passar, meses...anos... até este contacto se tornar cada vez mais raro.

Vamo-nos perder no tempo....

Um dia os nossos filhos verão as nossas fotografias e perguntarão:

"Quem são aquelas pessoas?"

Diremos...que eram nossos amigos e...... isso vai doer tanto!

-"Foram meus amigos, foi com eles que vivi tantos bons anos da minha vida!"

A saudade vai apertar bem dentro do peito.

Vai dar vontade de ligar, ouvir aquelas vozes novamente......

Quando o nosso grupo estiver incompleto... Reunir-nos-emos para um último adeus de um amigo.

E, entre lágrima abraçar-nos-emos.

Então faremos promessas de nos encontrar mais vezes daquele dia em diante.

Por fim, cada um vai para o seu lado para continuar a viver a sua vida, isolada do passado.

E perder-nos-emos no tempo.....

Por isso, fica aqui um pedido deste humilde amigo: não deixes que a vida passe em branco, e que pequenas adversidades sejam a causa de grandes tempestades....

Eu poderia suportar, embora não sem dor, que tivessem morrido todos os meus amores, mas enlouqueceria se morressem todos os meus amigos!"

Um dia... Mas não hoje...

É bom estar de volta...

It's so good to be back...

We're victims of sedition on the open sea.

No one ever said life was free.

Sink, swim, go down with the ship.

Just use your freedom of choice.

I'll say it again in the land of the free

Use your freedom of choice, freedom of choice.

In ancient Rome

there was a pawn

who followed along

and watched it fall

he cast a stone

he felt secure

he felt that he would never be heard.

Freedom of choice

it's what you've got

Freedom of choice

You're given a voice

you don't want it

seems to be the rule of thumb

don't be tricked by waht you see

you've got two ways to go

I'll say it again in the land of the free:

Use your freedom of choice, freedom of choice.

Freedom of choice

it's what you've got

Freedom of choice...

A Perfect Circle

Just a simple thought:

When we think we know all the answers, there comes life and changes all the questions...

Um simples pensamento:

Quando pensamos que sabemos todas as respostas, vem a vida e muda todas as perguntas...

A kiss to you all...

Um beijo a todos...

Bem, pelos vistos fui taggada (lol se é que isso existe) pela minha amiga Marisa aka , ora então aqui vão 20 coisas sobre a minha pessoa:

1. Para quem ainda não sabe, chamo-me Célia e adoro o meu nome, muito melhor que Eduarda que supostamente era o que devia ter sido E sou uma Portuguesa de Vila Nova de Gaia com muito orgulho

2. O meu maior sonho foi e continua a ser um nadita impossível: ser mãe!

3. Tenho uma sobrinha/afilhada, chamada Ana Beatriz que é das pessoas mais importantes na minha vida, se não a mais importante...

4. Posso não me orgulhar de muitas das coisas que fiz, mas nunca me arrependo, se as fiz foi porque na altura me pareceu o mais correcto.

5. O meu animal favorito é o Lobo Digo muitas vezes que nós humanos só temos a aprender com eles, para já não dizer que são lindos de morrer

6. Adoro o cheiro da terra molhada após as primeiras chuvas e o cheiro de um café acabado de tirar

7. Sou viciada em Coca-Cola mas tenho-me controlado

8. A fotografia faz parte da minha vida, tanto como fotografa como apreciadora Já como modelo não gosto nada

9. Ao contrário do que uma certa pessoa diz, gosto muito de banda desenhada, e não é porque não se tem ou não se tinha bds em casa que não se gosta A minha personagem favorita é a Mafalda

10. Amo os meus pais, Zulmira e Alfredo São, tal como a Bia, das pessoas mais importantes da minha vida Sem eles eu não seria nada

11. Detesto jogos de pc Já não gostava muito deles e ultimamente ainda pior por tudo o que significam Pode até ser mau feitio meu, mas pronto

12. Adoro musica, faz parte de mim A minha banda de coração são os Moonspell por tudo o que me fazem sentir ao ouvi-los mas ouço um pouco de tudo desde que me toque

13. Um bom banho quando chego a casa de trabalhar e outro mais rápido de manha quando acordo são das melhores coisas para eu relaxar e começar bem o dia

14. Adoro cinema e não dispenso uma ida ao Arrábida á Segunda á noite

15. Adoro futebol FC Porto é a melhor equipa do mundo, seguida logo de perto pela Selecção Nacional (sem a nódoa do Ricardo) e pela equipa do Grupo Desportivo da Ilha

16. Gosto muito de caminhar e então se for ao longo da praia com o mar como companhia ainda melhor

17. Tenho grandes e bons amigos na minha vida, mas devo confessar que me dou melhor com o sexo masculino que com o feminino

18. Adoro conduzir Muito e depressa A velocidade é para mim uma droga Adoro motas, especialmente a Ducati

19. Sinto-me completa com o mein engel e sei que o vou amar para sempre

20. Ficou tanto mas tanto por dizer

Acabou Lol Ok, eu sou portuguesa e escrevi em português, mas os meus amigos que só me entendem em inglês também merecem que partilhe com eles estes pequenos segredos, por isso here it goes:

Ive been tagged by my friend Marisa aka so here it is 20 things about me:

1.For those who already dont know, my name is Célia, and I like my name very much contrary to Eduarda which was the one meant to beI a very proud Portuguese from Vila Nova de Gaia

2. My biggest dream was and still is a little impossible: to be a mother!

3. I have a niece/godchild named Ana Beatriz who is one of the most important persons in my life, if not the most important

4. I may not be proud of everything I have done but I dont regret having done it If I did it was because at that moment it sounded right

5. My favourite animal is the Wolf.. I often say that we humans have much to learn from them and they are beautiful

6. I love the smell of wet land after the first rain and a finished coffee

7. Im addicted to Coca Cola, but Ive been controlling myself

8. Photography makes part of my life, as a photographer as well as a watcher As a model not so

9. Contrary to what a person has said, I like BD, and its not because one doesnt have or havent comic books at ho... ]]>

No one could save me but you

It's strange what desire make foolish people do

I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you

I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you

No, I don't want to fall in love (This girl is only gonna break your heart)

No, I don't want to fall in love (This girl is only gonna break your heart)

With you

No I...

Nobody loved you more

No, I don't want to fall in love (This girl is only gonna break your heart)

No, I don't want to fall in love (This girl is only gonna break your heart)

What a wicked game to play

To make me feel this way

What a wicked thing to do

To let me dream of you

What a wicked thing to say

You never felt this way

What a wicked thing to do

To make me dream of you

And I wanna fall in love (This girl is only gonna break your heart)

No, I don't want to fall in love (This girl is only gonna break your heart)

Everyday is a new day

Im thankful for every breath I take

I wont take it for granted

So I learn from my mistakes

Its beyond my control, sometimes its best to let go

Whatever happens in this lifetime

So I trust in love

You have given me peace of mind

I feel so alive for the very first time

I cant deny you

I feel so alive

I feel so alive for the very first time

And I think I can fly

Sunshine upon my face

A new song for me to sing

Tell the world how I feel inside

Even though it might cost me everything

Now that I know this, so beyond, I cant hold this

I can never turn my back away

Now that Ive seen you

I can never look away

Now that I know you (I could never turn my back away)

Now that I see you (I could never look away)

Now that I know you (I could never turn my back away)

Now that I see you (I believe no matter what they say)

P.O.D.

What's wrong with the world mama?

People living like aint got no mamas

I think the whole worlds addicted to the drama

Only attracted to the things that bring you trauma

Overseas yeah we tryin to stop terrorism

But we still got terrorists here livin

In the USA the big CIA the Bloodz and the Crips and the KKK

But if you only have love for your own race

Then you only leave space to discriminate

And to discriminate only generates hate

And if you hatin you're bound to get irate

Yeah madness is what you demonstrate

And that's exactly how anger works and operates

You gotta have love just to set it straight

Take control of your mind and meditate

Let your soul gravitate to the love y'all

People killing people dying

Children hurtin you hear them crying

Can you practice what you preach

Would you turn the other cheek?

Father Father Father help us

Send some guidance from above

Cause people got me got me questioning

Where is the love?

It just ain't the same all ways have changed

New days are strange is the world the insane?

If love and peace so strong

Why are there pieces of love that don't belong

Nations dropping bombs

Chemical gases filling lungs of little ones

With ongoing suffering

As the youth die young

So ask yourself is the loving really strong?

So I can ask myself really what is going wrong

With this world that we living in

People keep on giving in

Makin wrong decisions

Only visions of them livin and

Not respecting each other

Deny thy brother

The wars' going on but the reasons' undercover

The truth is kept secret

Swept under the rug

If you never know truth

Then you never know love

Where's the love y'all?(I don't know)

Where's the truth y'all?(I don't know)

Where's the love y'all?

People killing people dying

Children hurtin you hear them crying

Can practice what you preach

Would you turn the other cheek?

Father father father help us

Send some guidance from above

Cause people got me got me questioning

Where is the love?

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder

As I'm getting older y'all people get colder

Most of us only care about money makin

Selfishness got us followin the wrong direction

Wrong information always shown by the media

Negative images is the main criteria

Infecting their young minds faster than bacteria

Kids wanna act like what the see in the cinema

Whatever happened to the values of humanity

Whatever happened to the fairness and equality

Instead of spreading love, we're spreading anomosity

Lack of understanding, leading us away from unity

That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling under

That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling down

It's no wonder why sometimes I'm feeling under

I gotta keep my faith alive, until love is found

People killing people dying

Children hurtin you hear them crying

Can you practice what you preach

Would you turn the other cheek?

Father Father Father help us

Send some guidance from above

Cause people got me got me questioning

WHERE IS THE LOVE?

I can fly

But I want his wings

I can shine even in the darkness

But I crave the light that he brings

Revel in the songs that he sings

My angel gabriel

I can love

But I need his heart

I am strong even on my own

But from him I never want to part

Hes been there since the very start

My angel gabriel

My angel gabriel

Bless the day he came to be

Angels wings carried him to me

Heavenly

I can fly

But I want his wings

I can shine even in the darkness

But I crave the light that he brings

Revel in the songs that he sings

My angel gabriel

My angel gabriel

No more blame I am destined to keep you sane

Gotta rescue the flame

Gotta rescue the flame in your heart

No more blood, I will be there for you my love

I will stand by your side

The world has forsaken my girl

I should have seen it would be this way

I should have known from the start what she's up to

When you have loved and you've lost someone

You know what it feels like to lose

She's fading away

Away from this world

Drifting like a feather

She's not like the other girls

She lives in the clouds

She talks to the birds

Hopeless little one

She's not like the other girls I know

No more shame, she has felt too much pain, in her life

In her mind she's repeating the words

All the love you put out will return to you

The Rasmus

Just fading away.................................... .......................

Maria . . .

The most beautiful sound I ever heard:

Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria . . . .

All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word . .

Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria . . . .

Maria! .

I've just met a girl named . Maria.,

And suddenly that name

Will never be the same

To me.

Maria! .

I've just kissed a girl named . Maria.,

And suddenly I've found

How wonderful a sound

Can be!

Maria! .

Say it loud and there's music playing,

Say it soft and it's almost like praying.

Maria, .

I'll never stop saying. Maria! .

The most beautiful sound I ever heard.

Maria. .

These broken wings can take me no further,

Im lost, and out at sea,

I thought these wings would hold me forever,

And on to eternity,

And far away I can hear your voice,

I can hear it in the silence of the morning,

But these broken wings have let me down,

They cant even carry me home.

In broken dreams that keep me from sleeping,

I remember all the things I said,

Well Ive broken all the promises,

I said I would be keeping,

Theyre gone, like leaves they fell,

For its so hard when youre far away,

All I needed was a shoulder I could cry on,

Now these broken dreams have woken me,

My love, will you carry me home.

Or will you treat me like some traveller,

On a dark and lonely road,

Who sees a light and a man who will give her love,

Oh and just when he reaches the part,

When hes supposed to comfort her broken heart,

He turns away, and sends her travelling on, on,

Oh when I left I believed that nothing would go wrong,

I thought the whole world would be waiting for my story,

Take me back, my love, I need you now,

Come back and carry me home,

Take me back and heal these broken wings,

Come back and carry me home.

Another turning point

a fork stuck in the road

Time grabs you by the wrist

Directs you where to go,

So make the best of this test and don't ask why,

It's not a question but a lesson learned in time,

It's something unpredictable

but in the end it's right

i hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs and still frames in your mind

Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time,

Tattoos and memories of skin on trial

For what it's worth,

it was worth all the while.

It's something unpredictable,

but in the end it's right

I hope you had the time of your life

A poesia é carne e alma

dentro da língua dos poetas

nos desassossegos das idades

pequena e imensa de desejos

nesta recusa de falar das tristezas

assim sou sem disfarce, nesta entrega

dou o meu sangue ao que acredito

nestes delírios de sentir e amar

numa sede imensa que carrego

num perpétuo sonho com a poesia

numa revelação sem tempo

Nunca aprendi os agrados falsos

só tenho o que sou capaz de aprender

as coisas do amor são difíceis

no mar que está em mim, correntes

ondas, algas, areias, peixes, marés

mas e eu que insisto em ver

os verdes, os azuis, as ondas

os horizontes em cantos

por isso insistem em me dizer menina

Não vêem a mulher

que atrai as águas em cantos de paixão,

que desenha as secretas vozes de sal e

escava corações com imagens e palavras

Guardo um lobo nos meus sonos

não semearei desgostos maiores

nas noites de ventos

Vi sempre as estrelas

apoquentada pelos silêncios

emudeço a minha voz

logo me deleito com os sons

do marulhar ao longe

nesta cidade que me abriga, onde

caminho dentro de mim

as memórias jogam entre si

depois de nada me servirá dizer

mulher menina mulher

cada um me inventará

Child of the wilderness

Born into emptiness

Learn to be lonely

Learn to find your way in darkness

Who will be there for you

Comfort and care for you

Learn to be lonely

Learn to be your one companion

Ever dreamed out in the world

There were arms to hold you?

Youve always known

Your heart was on its own

So laugh in your loneliness

Child of the wilderness

Learn to be lonely

Learn how to love life that is lived alone

Learn to be lonely

Life can be lived

Life can be loved

Alone.

from The Phantom of the Opera

Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber

Lyric by Charles Hart

I'll ask you nothing...

Just tell me what you think about what's written in that lyric...

Just tell me what you feel...

Não vou perguntar nada...

Digam-me apenas o que acham sobre a letra daquela musica...

Digam-me o que sentem...

Três facadas

pontuais e certeiras

direitas ao assunto.

Deixar o sangue correr

e bebê-lo no bar maldito mais próximo.

na companhia dos teus

melhores amigos.

Fernando Ribeiro

I apologise for not having translated this poem...

It's one of my favourites from Fernando... He is the lead singer of my favourite band: Moonspell...

This poem talks about the importance of friends and the truth in what we do or say... At least is my interpretation of it...

Friends are trully a magnificent as well as a terrible thing...

We never know what they will do, under some circumstances...

I usually say that I have 3 to 5 friends and all the others are simply people that I know...

Life itself has showed me that this is the simple true...

Why this? Why now?...

Simply because I'm sad and disapointed...

But has I say: it swells, it reduces a swelling and it passes...

Bem... Para aqueles que não sabem inglês eu estive a pedir desculpa por não ter traduzido o poema do Fernando, que como sabem (espero ) é o vocalista da minha banda favorita, os Moonspell ...

O poema fala da importância dos amigos e da verdade no que dizemos ou fazemos... Pelo menos é a interpretação que faço do poema...

Amigos são aquela coisa maravilhosa e terrivel ao mesmo tempo...

Nunca sbemos o que farão perante certas situações...

Costumo dizer que tenho apenas 3 a 5 amigos, todas as outras pessoas são conhecidos...

A vida mostrou-me ser esta a verdade...

Porque isto? Porque agora?...

Bem apenas porque estou triste e desapontada...

Mas como costumo dizer: Incha, desincha e passa...

Spend all your time waiting

For that second chance

For a break that would make it okay

Theres always one reason

To feel not good enough

And its hard at the end of the day

I need some distraction

Oh beautiful release

Memory seeps from my veins

Let me be empty

And weightless and maybe

Ill find some peace tonight

In the arms of an angel

Fly away from here

From this dark cold hotel room

And the endlessness that you fear

You are pulled from the wreckage

Of your silent reverie

Youre in the arms of the angel

May you find some comfort there

So tired of the straight line

And everywhere you turn

Theres vultures and thieves at your back

And the storm keeps on twisting

You keep on building the lie

That you make up for all that you lack

It dont make no difference

Escaping one last time

Its easier to believe in this sweet madness oh

This glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

Sarah McLachlan

Who is your angel? The one and only person that makes you feel safe?

The one that gives you shelter The one you would trust your life with?...

Quem é o vosso anjo?... Aquela única pessoa que nos faz sentir seguros?...

A que nos dá abrigo O único a quem seríamos capazes de confiar a nossa vida?...

Ive got you under my skin

Ive got you deep in the heart of me

So deep in my heart, that youre really a part of me

Ive got you under my skin

Ive tried so not to give in

Ive said to myself this affair never will go so well

But why should I try to resist, when baby will I know than well

That Ive got you under my skin

Id sacrifice anything come what might

For the sake of having you near

In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night

And repeats, repeats in my ear

Dont you know you fool, you never can win

Use your mentality, wake up to reality

But each time I do, just the thought of you

Makes me stop before I begin

cause Ive got you under my skin

Masquerade! Paper faces on parade ...

Masquerade! Hide your face, so the world will never find you!

Masquerade! Every face a different shade ...

Masquerade! Look around - there's another mask behind you!

Flash of mauve, splash of puce ...

Fool and king, ghoul and ghost ...

Green and black, queen and priest ...

Trace of rouge, face of beast ...

Faces ... take your turn, take a ride

on the merry-go-round ... in an inhuman race ...

Eye of gold, thigh of blue ...

True is false, who is who?

Curl of lip, swirl of gown ...

Ace of hearts, face of clown ...

Faces ... drink it in, drink it up,

till you've drowned in the light ... in the sound ...

Do you wear a mask?... And if so, why?...

Wouldn't it be a better life without masks?

Usam uma máscara?... Se sim, porquê?...

Não seria uma vida melhor sem máscaras?...

"Imagine there's no heaven

It's easy if you try

No hell below us

Above us only sky

Imagine all the people

Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries

It isn't hard to do

Nothing to kill or die for

And no religion too

Imagine all the people

Living life in peace...

Imagine no possessions

I wonder if you can

No need for greed or hunger

A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people

Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will live as one.."

John Lennon

Just imagine I guess there isnt much more we can do than just imagine

If you could What would you change in this world?... And in your life?...

Apenas imaginar Acho que realmente não há muito mais a fazer do que imaginar

Se pudessem O que mudariam neste mundo?...E o que mudariam na vossa vida?...

Eva Mozes Kor learnt on her first night at Auschwitz what the smoke billowing from the chimneys meant: that most of her family had been killed.

Later she and her twin sister were subjected to biological experiments by the Nazi doctor Josef Mengele. Yet 60 years after the unprecedented crimes of the Holocaust, she has reached a conclusion: 'If I could meet Dr Mengele today, I would say to him: "I have forgiven you".'

Today is the 60th Anniversary of Auschwitz and these are the numbers we must reflect on:

The Holocaust claimed the lives of an estimated 6 million Jews, between 200,000 and 800,000 gypsies, 200,000-300,000 disabled people, 10,000-25,000 homosexuals, 2,000 Jehovah's Witnesses, up to 3.5 million non-Jewish Poles, between 3.5 million and 6 million other Slavic civilians, as many as 4 million Soviet prisoners of war and up to 1.5 million political dissidents.

The camp complex built at Auschwitz, including Birkenau with its infamous railway track, witnessed the deaths of an estimated 1.1 million men, women and children - more than the combined British and American losses in the Second World War. One million of the dead were Jews. Anxious to hide their crimes, the SS blew up the chambers into which the lethal Zyklon B gas had been dispersed before taking flight from the advancing Red Army.

This was taken from todays Guardian, from UK

Is this something people should forget and forgive?...

I really dont think so

How can someone have such little regard for human life

How could there it be such cruelty?...

Please Dont let nothing like this ever happen again

Será Auschwitz e todo o Holocausto algo que se deva esquecer e perdoar?...

Não creio

Como é que alguém pode ter tão pouco respeito pela vida humana?...

Como pode ter existido tanta crueldade?....

Por favor Não vamos permitir que algo parecido possa sequer voltar a acontecer

To all the Survivors a warm and simple tear

To all of those who lost there lives a unforgettable}}}
