Depois há aqueles momentos em que a única coisa realmente inteligente que podemos fazer por nós mesmos é devotarmo-nos ao silêncio. Nosso e dos outros.
Como uma religião.
Como, por isso, a única esperança que guardamos para que nos passe a sensação de estarmos a ser engolidos por uma enorme e estúpida tristeza.

"Yes," he whispered into her lips. "There's all the time in the world. . . ."
All the time in the world - his life and hers. But for an instant as he kissed her he knew that though he search through eternity he could never recapture those lost April hours. He might press her close now till the muscles knotted on his arms - she was something desirable and rare that he had fought for and made his own - but never again an intangible whisper in the dusk, or on the breeze of night. . . .
Well, let it pass, he thought; April is over, April is over. There are all kinds of love in the world, but never the same love twice.

"Fool you are. People ain't no good."
Cair a primeira vez é ingenuidade. A segunda talvez seja fé. Mas a terceira sem dúvida que é estupidez.

Cinismo
Agora posso e devo ser cínico. Devemos sempre ser cínicos depois de termos sido ingénuos.
Pedro Mexia
(Já deu para perceber que estou fascinada pelo P.M.? Adivinha sempre o que quero dizer.)
Amargo
Vivo em estado de «self-fulfilling prophecy»: tudo o que eu achava que ia acontecer aconteceu, do modo como eu achava que ia acontecer. Nunca imaginei que ter razão fosse tão amargo.

convenience
oiço mais uma história de um casamento falhado e é mais um encolher de ombros porque já sabíamos no que ía dar é sempre assim as pessoas sempre a casar teimosamente mesmo sabendo no que aquilo vai dar. e isso lembra-me como caminhamos sem desvios para o amor conveniente. de repente tudo tem de ser confortável e à medida, os me days, os spas, as massagens. o amor tem de ser assim, à medida ou então não vale a pena, é perda de tempo, consumo de recurso, mau investimento. como se alguma vez na história da humanidade o amor tivesse sido qualquer outra coisa do que um inconveniente. uma espécie de doença que nos torna insensíveis aos outros, egoístas e estúpidos. como se o amor conveniente ou não não fosse uma mera questão de sorte, como se fosse de nossa escolha apaixonarmo-nos exactamente pela pessoa certa, e não fosse - pela mera lei das probabilidades - mais fácil apaixonarmo-nos por uma pessoa que não é certa, que não vive na nossa cidade ou país, que não gosta de nós, que é casada ou apaixonada por outra, que quer outras coisas da vida que não nos incluem. é assim como é assim com a amizade, os amigos às vezes também vão para fora, não estão lá, gostam mais de outros amigos, deixam-nos agarrados. é assim porque a vida é assim, não feita de conveniencias mas de coisas que queremos ou não queremos. e das merdas que fazemos pelas que queremos. conveniência é o comando da meo e os pequenos almoços que vêm trazer a casa num cesto.

Isso
This is it
I’m not coming after you
I’m going to lie down for half an hour
This is it
I’m not going down
on your memory
I’m not rubbing my face in it anymore
I’m going to yawn
I’m going to stretch
I’m going to put a knitting needle
up my nose
and poke out my brain
I don’t want to love you
for the rest of my life
I want your skin
to fall off my skin
I want my clamp
to release your clamp
I don’t want to live
with this tongue hanging out
and another filthy song
in the place
of my baseball bat
This is it
I’m going to sleep now darling
Don’t try to stop me
I’m going to sleep
I’ll have a smooth face
and I’m going to drool
I’ll be asleep
whether you love me or not
This is it
The New World Order
of wrinkles and bad breath
It’s not going to be
like it was before
eating you
with my eyes closed
hoping you won’t get up
and go away
It’s going to be something else
Something worse
Something sillier
Something like this
only shorter
I’m not coming after you
I’m going to lie down for half an hour
This is it
I’m not going down
on your memory

I’m going to stretch
I’m going to put a knitting needle
up my nose

Asfixia
Não se sabe como acontece, nem quando. Digo o desejo, que tudo arrasta, tudo envolve num aperto que asfixia. A vontade de anular todo o intervalo entre as coisas no ardor dos corpos, no misturar das línguas.

A insignificância
Somos frágeis e fátuos e insignificantes. O amor às vezes reduz essa insignificância ou cria a ilusão de que significamos alguma coisa. Outras vezes é o mesmo amor que nos reduz à nossa insignificância. E de cada vez que aprendemos isto, aprendemos isto pela primeira vez.

Os meus filmes
Juno, 2008
Gosto de filmes que tenham como banda sonora músicas de que gosto (Sonic Youth - Superstar, etc). E depois há: I'm just like losing my faith with humanity (Juno). É mesmo isso. Gosto.
Juno: I just wonder if like, two people can ever stay together for good.
Mac: You mean like couples?
Juno: Yeah, like people in love. (...) I just need to know that it's possible that two people can stay happy together forever.
Mas gosto de acordar cedo
Querido personal "motivationer",
Isto dos gráficos é muitooo giro mas dói-me tudo. Nem me posso rir. Não gosto. E os chocolatinhos não aparecem no gráfico. Também não gosto.

Jeff Buckley - Lover you should've come over (Live acoustic)
...
Maybe I'm too young
To keep good love from going wrong
But tonight, you're on my mind so
You never know
Broken down and hungry for your love
With no way to feed it
Where are you tonight?
Child, you know how much I need it.
Too young to hold on
And too old to just break free and run
Sometimes a man gets carried away,
When he feels like he should be having his fun
Much too blind to see the damage he's done
Sometimes a man must awake to find that, really,
He has no-one...
So I'll wait for you... And I'll burn
Will I ever see your sweet return?
Oh, will I ever learn?
Oh, Lover, you should've come over
Cause it's not too late.
...
My body turns and yearns for a sleep
That won't ever come
It's never over,
My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It's never over,
all my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her...
It's never over,
All my blood for the sweetness of her laughter...
It's never over,
She's a tear that hangs inside my soul forever...
But maybe I'm just too young to keep good love
From going wrong
Oh... lover you should've come over...
Yes, and I feel too young to hold on
I'm much too old to break free and run
Too deaf, dumb, and blind
To see the damage I've done
Sweet lover, you should've come over
Oh, love, well I'll wait for you
Lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late.
Maybe I'm too young

Yes, and I feel too young to hold on

"Most of the time
I'm clear focused all around
Most of the time
I can keep both feet on the ground
I can follow the path, I can read the signs
Stay right with it, when the road unwinds
I can handle whatever I stumble upon
I don't even notice she's gone
Most of the time
Most of the time
It's well understood
Most of the time
I wouldn't change it if I could
I can't make it all match up, I can hold my own
I can deal with the situation right down to the bone
I can survive, I can endure
And I don't even think about her
Most of the time
Most of the time
My head is on straight
Most of the time
I'm strong enough not to hate
I don't build up illusion 'till it makes me sick
I ain't afraid of confusion no matter how thick
I can smile in the face of mankind
Don't even remember what her lips felt like on mine
Most of the time
Most of the time
She ain't even in my mind
I wouldn't know her if I saw her
She's that far behind
Most of the time
I can't even be sure
If she was ever with me
Or if I was ever with her
Most of the time
I'm halfways content
Most of the time
I know exactly where it all went
I don't cheat on myself
I don't run and hide
Hide from the feelings, that are buried inside
I don't compromise and I don't pretend
I don't even care if I ever see her again
Most of the time."

A pergunta que todos deveríamos fazer-nos é: Que fiz eu se nada mudou? Deveríamos viver mais no dessassossego. Não haverá amanhã se não mudarmos o hoje. (...), tudo o que levamos às costas é passado e todo esse passado, incluindo a desesperança e a desilusão, é o que influencia o amanhã. Há que fazer o trabalho todos os dias com as mãos, a cabeça, a sensibilidade, com tudo.
J. Saramago
