Departing

And here i am..
exams finished yesterday. it was a hard week i've to say.. but everything went just fine.

i packed already everything in my bag. bus will be less than 2 hours.. i've to say i'm excited. i did this before, but it's the first time it'll be so long.. but as always, everything will be juuusssstt fine!

i hope to post while i'm backpacking, but i really don't know if i'll be able to, not because i doubt about my skills to access blogger.com, but because i don't know if the hostels will have internet.

World cup will start soon! i'm counting to see the first match of Portugal (Angola-Portugal), in Viena! it'll be the next sunday! mwuahaha.. already with me is the portuguese scarf of course.. even if i say so many bad things about this country.. it's mine and i couldn't be more proud about it...

So that's it.. time for some goodbyes here in the dormitory and a long night trip to Prague.

See ya all

words can fall short, can't see the unseen

When your mind is a mess
so is mine
I cant sleep
cause it hurts when I think
My thoughts aren't at peace
with the plans that we make
chances we take
they're, not yours and not mine
there's waves that can break
all the words that we said
and the words that we mean
words can fall short
can't see the unseen
cause the world is awake
for somebody's sake now, please close your eyes woman
please get some sleep

it's enough to make me cry

True that relationships fail everyday, specially if people are not ready.

Anyways, isn't it wonderful to realize that the next person we'll meet might be the person of our dreams - the one-, the person we'll grow old together, the person we'll have children with, share a house, a family, a bed...

That makes me smile, even if that person is a thousand years of distance, or can be maybe the girl next door...

God vs doG

Strange are the moments where we stop to think if a determined action that we might do is right or wrong, will we take the best advantage from it, depending on the thing we decide? or we'll lose something?

easiest way to think is is to realize that everything we do is correct... but that can be taken as a correct answer?

banana pancakes

today i woke up with a strange wish of banana pancakes...
and since then i'm with Jack Johnson's song with the same name stuck in my head..

(...)
It's just so easy
When the whole world fits inside of your arms
Do we really need to pay attention to the alarm
Wake up slow, wake up slow...
(...)

O GUARDADOR DE REBANHOS (IX)

Sou um guardador de rebanhos
O rebanho é os meus pensamentos
E os meus pensamentos são todos sensações.
Penso com os olhos e com os ouvidos
E com as mãos e os pés
E com o nariz e a boca.

Pensar uma flor é vê-la e cheirá-la
E comer um fruto é saber-lhe o sentido.

Por isso quando num dia de calor
Me sinto triste de gozá-lo tanto.
E me deito ao comprido na erva,
E fecho os olhos quentes,
Sinto todo o meu corpo deitado na realidade,
Sei a verdade e sou feliz.

Alberto Caeiro

Jeff Buckley

For the unconditional fans of Jeff Buckley, where i'm include 1000%, today is definitively a special day to remember him. He mysteriously drowned in the Mississipi River 9 years ago (29th of May - 1997).

Here is my tribute to him, and for his wonderful songs.

About Traveling

...and somehow continuing the last post. i received advertising to this website: mylifeoftravel.com, and i've to say that i was really impressed. i've seen some websites with the sabe subject, mainly for backpackers, but this seems really good, maybe some forums with specific subjects should be added, but anyway, it's really good in my opinion.. and you can 'draw' all the trips you make, and in the end you get a really nice visual effect with it. of course i created one account, you can get me here:

For now that's it.
a lot to study.
