Birthday Awkwardness

That awkward moment when...you want to start planning yor birthday party but then you realize that you have no eligible guests to invite...

why?

So the pope told catholics they should pray for the souls of victims of the typhoon in Philippines? Will God actually care about that? Just wondering why God doesn't prevent natural catastrophes...is it because He can't? He doesn't want to? He causes them? or He doesn't exist?

why I'll never be happy?

This picture sums it all: no brain no pain.
We hear as a clichet: "Ignorance is bliss", and the truth is that dumber people tend to be happier.
Well I think I am a very rationalist and intelligent person so because ignorance is bliss, that's why smart people are so depressed and gloomy whereas happy people are so goofy and annoyingly cheerful.
But as Ernest Hemingway used to say:

And well I don't care what you think, 'cause as long as it's about me, the best of us can't find happiness in misery!

Arrogance made in Germany

It's with this title «Besuchen Sie doch ihre Steuern!», which in german means "go visit your taxes", that a travel agency in Germany offers travels to the PIIGS (countries endebted...aparently to Germany? or German banks? or IMF? or...who really?, PIIGS=Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain).
I tell you what, I've never really talked too much to germans, the ones I did looked nice of course, but I tell you what, the image they show to the outer world is of an arrogant folk, always looking for power and domination of other countries, it is a country that suffers from deep amnesia and superiority complex...or arrogance call it what you like. Why? Why on Earth is it so difficult to Germany to live in peace and  treat equally their european neighbors? why have they to always rule above everyone else? It's because this creditor/debtor "relationship", this fake propaganda of the honoured hard working germans and the lazy inhabitants of the south that live in wonderful sunny places where all germans love to go on holidays just to escape from their sad, sad, cold, cold, boring country! Yes, we are lucky! Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain are wonderful places, amongst the most beautiful places on Earth. South is soooooooo much better to live in that North, yes!!!! So what they're gonna do? we have to live in misery to make them feel better about their cold and depressesd life? our salaries are very low (in Portugal the minimum wage is 485 euros), we have right to live here in our sunny, beautiful countries full of pristine beaches, this is not a summer colony, got it? we have the right to live HERE in our god damn countries, we were blesses by this weather and beaches and just because of that, just because this places are so awesome....NO it doesn't mean we are ALWAYS on holidays! Maybe for germans a winter day here is their summer...too bad for you, deal with it! But we have the right to live here, our youth has the right to stay and live here and work here instead of emmigrate to Germany and go pay them their retirements...while they come here to live their retirement.
By the way, where does Ireland stays in this point? it's not south, people don't live near sandy beaches, the weather also sucks...are they always on holidays then? maybe it's not the case, because Ireland only bakrrupted due to corruption of banks and bankers...national and international....all right, media don't talk about that? ok, let's keep our mouth shut! Bad bad irish! Big big irish spenders! tsssc tssc!
So this simple, apparently harmless billboard shows hate and disinformation...fake propaganda, and a propaganda of hate and ignorance (for a change, no?).
We don't live from your taxes!Our taxes pay your banks and Germany has won lots of money from this artificial debts (speaking of debts...I have the slighty impression yours were forgiven...and wait...your country was reconstructed due to forgiveness and help of the other european countries...or am I mistaken?).
Conclusion: keep believing you're actually paying us anything, meanwhile german banks and huge international banks win a lot of easy bucks while our countries are being destroyed by ausetrity and misery until the whole european project falls apart (again)! 
Do you think it's nice in Greece and Portugal people getting food from the dustbin bins!? How lucky are we! But we sure deserve it...we (our corrupted governments) were big spenders, now let's eat from the trash!
Children fainting in school because of undernourishment? Not of your god damn problem, we have too PAY! 
In Germany because it's so dark and gloomy the high suicide taxes are normal...in Spain, Portugal, Greece, Italy it's not normal, and since the crisis it severely increased...any cause/consequence of crisis and ausetrity?I bet! (read:suicide-in-front-of-parliament). 
Not even the pets are safe, thousands of them are abandoned each day because people have no way to buy them food (thousands-of-pets-abandoned-in-greece), 
Ok guys, I got your drama, your country sucks so you wanted to buy greek islands to make your private summer destination...so why not suggest greeks to sell Corfu and the Acropolis ? WHY the hell they did not accepted? It looked like such a very helpful suggestion!Do a Pact of Redemption to sell all our gold? 
Don't we even deserve the right to work and mind our own business? If the only Europe German knows is the german Europe with Germany on the command ...well we're better out of that, keep your BMW's, Lidels, Mercedes, Audis and stuff...we go on our way, and we're better apart.
Will this be the 3rd time in less than a century that Europe commits suicide with Germany on the comand post? I hope not, but Germany on their own will let everything to lose...and in the shape of things too come too much poison come undone...
I dare you, come, come to colourful your pity rainy life with our sun and beaches...use your turism to help us, like a charity, come, come to see Europe impoverishing and falling apart, come and see all this misery and new homelessness...come visit your taxes, you did a good job here!

Nine Eleven 12th anniversary

Still having no answers, just questions...truth or hoax?

Music: Welcome to the Aftermath, by Remo Conscious

We saw the towers fall to ashes like they were laced with bombs
And ever since we've been at war like Genghis, conmen fiendish
For a Fascist world state, an Orwellian nightmare
Where rights are stripped bare, get prepared for the future of
Wire taps, cameras on every corner
Blackwater sharp shooters with scopes locked on you
The patriot act has us watching our backs, they front
Like they're here to save us while they're on the attack
And we act, like we didn't see it coming
From a nation built by theft and genocide
Gunning down opposition listen worldwide it's well know
That America will eat its own, so, so long
To what you thought was democratic, these times are catastrophic
Cause war is a means to profit
Control and manipulate the massive, it’s classic evil
Caskets, be full of people, blasted

Chorus
They lie, they scam, they cheat and steal
They plot, they fund, they act it’s real
They watch, they hunt, they punish and kill
Welcome to the Aftermath
(repeat)

Ground Zero the launch pad for endless killing
That Bush desperately needed to fool the millions
Into supporting an agenda to conquer the planet
I wonder how the children felt when the first bombs landed
In Afghanistan. Operation enduring freedom
Was the first act of treason must I tell you the reason?
Start reading, and stop believing network news
They're concerned with making money not telling the truth
Deep in the night, I'm turning and tossing
Knowing cities are burning lost in the silence of the Empires coffin
Over one million Iraqis murdered
Human beings never to be seen again or heard of
Now who's next In the name of, America famous for heinous war acts
Vain insane leaders feed us lies and ignore facts
But fact is were smarter and stronger than what they hoped for
The war on terror deceptive like Regan's coke war

Chorus

20 years from now what will Americans will be like
Slaves well behaved or human beings with rights
If we fight we might still have a chance
Instead of hoping for change, we’ve got to advance
Take a stance and be heard, silence is the enemy
Words have power, but actions speak louder
Pretend to be free till you die a slave
A soldier in the desert searching for a ghost in a cave
For the Corporation, I’ve run out of patience
Sick of seeing’ troops sent to die for your lies
You’re Spending dollars on death, we holler in protest
Til' we have your arrest, we will not rest and we know
What you did that day, killed your own citizens to advance your ways
All my real patriots stand up and say 9/11 was an inside job

Try to listen this song without crying

From a portuguese guitarrist who played the portuguese guitarr in fado songs, I must admit I can't stop getting emotional hearing this song.

You call this freedom?

This life has nothing to do with freedom, but with "buy freedom", and those who don't have money have no value in this sick society.
If you have no money you're invisible, you're worthless, you don't count!
It's so sad how some families (most of them) only stay united because of money needs, it's sad people only get near of you if you own money. It's nerve wrecking when you dream awake about all the places you want to go and someone shouts at you: "and how you get the money to do so?", you want to go somewhere "and you have money to do so?". 
The truth is that in this society for you to be free you have to have money meanwhile you'll get so busy trying to make a living that you forget to have a life.
SAD!

Virtual Friends

How modern "friendships" are nowadays: people quit having a real social life by hanging out and do stuff together, instead, they interact with "likes" and "shares" and through chats and social networks.
Do you want to know something about someone you don't see for a long time (like someone who studied in the same high school or college as you)? sneak into their facebook, that will keep you updated and so, we all can know about each other's lives without being together, without really seing each other all this time.
I decided to put this kind of lost "friendships"  to the test. You know, people who makes part of your past (even if it was a nice past like when you were a teenager and went to the same school), people who since life separated never really made an effort to see you again, never called you again, never sent you an e-mail again, and sometimes they just put "likes" in the facebook, people whose the only bond left between me and them was ...the facebook! So, I deleted them all from my virtual life...and puff they simply totally vanished from my real life....I wonder if they were ever real! But nevermind, now they are just somebody that I used to know.

I don't express my friendship by sending links, pressing share buttons or "like buttons".
The last straw was when I saw ex- colleagues of mine that I didn't see for a long time, and I just saw them in public transportation and we started talking,  and they started talking about my life, like my trips, the concerts I went, etc. I knew a little less of their liffe since they don't write almost anything on it.
So I decided to delete them....they never invite me out, maybe that's because they don't need to ask about my life they already know, also they don't feel the need of being in my company. So I don't want those people connected to me virtually if they're not in real life, and that's because they're not interested on it.
Also, a colleague of mine quit college and never said anyting to me face to face, never asked me out, I deleted and she sent the "friendship" request back....but she was not really interested in talking to me face to face, people are simply obcessed with facebook connections...really? I didn't accepted it, she gave up college 3 years ago and never really talked to me again, but all the sudden I deleted her and she remebered me? Others were just acquaintances that said Hi to me and sometimes didn't say anything really, I deleted them and they purely pretended they don't know me at all....
It's true, some persons are so important in your life that are only a quick click away from your life!

(P.S: I quit all my social netwoks)

Happy 4th July America!

Maiden day

Day 29 May 2013, I went to my first Heavy Metal concert: Iron Maiden, here in Lisbon.
As usual, I went alone, did not tell anyone I was going, and did not see anyone I knew in there, I like doing crazy things alone even because if I just do it if the others join, I'll probably end doing nothing at all.
I told my parents I was going to have a birthday dinner with my friends, they were surprised, I'm not sociable at all (only in the blogue I guess)...well the truth is I never ever invitations to do nothing, I'm a misfit and misfits deal well in heavy metal concerts coursing life and death, no?
What can I say about the concert? awesome, surreal, worth every euro,lots of scenarios, skulls, special effects, pyrotechnics, well played music...perfect!
The crowd...well Maiden's concert's are not a place do date, nor to stupid girls and their stupid boyfriends go, stand still and demand everyone around to stand still "there's a girl in here!", "hey stop feeling the music, here's my wife and my son and daughter"...well girls and women if you can't handle don't go watch an heavy metal concert, grown up men...don't take your wife and remaning family in there...is it supposed to stand still and quiet in an heavy metal concert? is it suppose to kiss every single 5 minutes in middle of satanic songs???! Please stick to listen music at home then, or go to Michael Bubble, Julio Iglesias or Leonard Cohen concerts instead, stick to your romances and sopa operas then....to all regular girls: Maiden is not for pussies!deal with it!
I survived my first heavy metal concert! :)

......

I not even can chose a title for this post...well it's about that brutal atttack committed in London, I read in newspapers: "decapitaion in the middle of a London street", I was terrified!
It turns out it was not a completed beheading I guess, I don't want to know the details really, but it was an horrendous act!
The two guys who did this, and even wanted to be filmed and talked to cameras, said they were muslims and they did this to that young man who was killed because he was a soldier and bristish soldiers invade their lands and kill muslims so it was a revenge "tooth for tooth, eye for eye", something like that.
Also he says, our land...Afghanistan? well, to me, he looks like an african immigrant with english nationality or british, son of immigrants, clearly not what we can call an original english. The victim, was just a young man about my age, a true english person, british by  right who was killed and brutally murdered on his own land by those savages who immigrated to Great Britain or whose parents immigrated to GB...
It's an isolated case, TOTALLY ISOLATED! I can see that, I'm not going to do any generalizations, I don't think muslims are evil (well to be honest, I just think all religions are evil), but I'll tell you what, I do not believe in multiculturalism...no no, I believe we all can live in peace, but I doubt that we can do it living all together in the same place.
London, for instance, with 12 million inhabitants from everywhere, has becoming more and more violent and dangerous! British (like true british) people are a minority in London it's been said.
Well when I went there 10 years ago, I kind of noticed that really! Where were the english english? it was like the whole world just had moved to London...for me, it was starnge although I live in a multicultural and peaceful city (Lisbon, which I love).
I just think for british british, it might feel strange for them to feel foreigners in their own land, and that's not all, being afraid of the other's who don't trully belong there! To fear the foreigners in your land? What an absurd!
So although, I am left winged, believe in world peace (and by the way I'm an atheist), what I wanted to say with this post, like it or not, is that, now I see why GB wants to stop immigration...and you know what? I think it's totally legitimate!
I think immigration should be stopped indeed or at least controlled.
I think in all Europe, we should control this issue, because we are in a big crisis and with high unemployment rates, so more people coming in to find a job, and not founding it, may led to violence and robberies.
I think immigration should be more permissive between european citizens (after all we share the same spirit of citzenship), but radically more limited to non-european citizens.
We can't blame all immigrants, immigrants are needed and welcome if they work, pay taxes and behave, and in Europe everyone is accepted no matter what is their belief or ways (all they need is to respect the others and live in peace with the others), but if they don't want to live under european ways and do not respect the people who welcomed them...well they are not needed, they are not desirable, they should GO!
So anotehr thing I agree is that foreign criminals should not be accpeted back in the foreign country they commited the crime, they should be sent home.
Also, I agree with the fact Norway refuses to build mosques, it's their right to refuse, it's Norway, not the Middle East, a mosque is something that doesn't match with anything here in Europe.
I understand that point!
All this situation is so regrettable and too bad for being true, I really don't know what to say anymore, but if a country has problems with immigration I think it's the right of the country to control immigration, it's not the person's from the welcoming country that have to bow down foreigner's ways, it's the extreme opposite!

Oh I hate teenagers...

The more I look at teengares nowadays (you know what I mean...seriously watch some reality shows like the "Sex, Sun and parents watching" about teenager's holidays paid with parent's money...what a bunch of sluts and manwhores that keep saying they hate who gave them their life and paid them everything just because yes, also today I heard one today at a coffee: "that as the 1st time I beated my dad", just not to mention the 15 years old girls who ask for a birthday present fake silicon breasts and date guys with more than 20 years old...I hope they are parents also so they suffer the same) the more certainty I have I will never EVER have kids, I don't understand what's strange or anti-natural about this, I find it strange yes if you want to deal with that annoying irritant person in the last good moments of your life, spend a lot of money and give up your freedom and mental health...seriously, why you did that for? I'm glad to be a weirdo that will not help the continuation of human race as specie, good lord!

Such a waste of life!!!!!
