The physics of my management classes
When one enters the area that is known has the Management Class, happens a strange thing.
Because as you enter a Management class, you are in fact transmuting yourself to another dimension, where time passes slower and you age quicker. In fact there's a "completely independent" study that shows what I could be doing If I didn't go to management classes.
Has it is shown here:
Coluna1 | • What you do if you went to class | • What you would be doing if you didn't go to class |
Before entering management class | • Normal living | Normal living |
| Enter and sit | Doesn't enter |
| • Sit in the chair look to the board and do nothing | • Grab your things and direct yourself to somewhere else |
| • think about sleeping | • go to UN and resolve every world conflict, and bring peace to the world. |
| • Sleep for what feels to be two hours, wake up to witness the class is still going on and that in reality only 2 seconds have passed, redoing until end of class | • Become rich after writing a sensational economic novel, marry a beautiful muse, have lots of kids, become prime-minister and bring happiness and fortune to the whole country, retire and discover the fountain of youth |
| • Go Home and complain about the shitty day you've just had | • Go Home and complain about the shitty day you've just had |
Experts concur that the uselessness of management classes brings my IQ down by 20 points for the next two days.
I can't escape now but if you're getting any idea of going to management….
DON'T!!!!!!!!!! Save Yourself!!!

What a clever Godson I have
It happened last Saturday during lunch time, everyone was sited at the table, we were all except one. My godson was having a tantrum and didn't want to sit at the table and eat, although he liked the menu very much.
We waited all at the table for him to reconsider and join us so that could finally start to enjoy the fruits of my parents' labor, but he did no such thing. My father waited five minutes, but then he could not hold any more steam, he arose from his sit with a accelerated pace went to find my little godson.
They confronted each other in a place where we, the ones sited at the table could not see, but could hear; and the radio novel went like so:
Father: Behave yourself and go join us at the table, THIS INSTANT!!
Godson: NO!! I DON'T WANT TO!!!
F: Do as I tell you or you'll see!
G: No!
F: You have two options either you behave yourself or I'll slap you!
(And there was silence for 5 hole seconds where I can only assume my godson though about the words he was about to say)
G: I want the slap but with little strength
My father then granted his wish.
F: Now behave yourself and join us at the table…
G: No! I got the slap so now I don't have to behave; you go to the table…
Eventually he joined us for lunch, after a while. But here is a seven years old child that given the choice between two bad things (in one he would get hurt in the other would be his pride) he decided to control how the option he choose would affect him, Brilliant! I'm so proud! There are many adults that can't even imagine doing the same.

The way it happens...
Most people have already had someone else than who they're with now and most of them [i don't want to say everyone cause i don't want to hurt anyone's beliefs] will be with someone else.
What i find absolutely amazing is the transition from the last one to the next one. After been supportive to a few friends after their relationships went wrong, i think i can sum "the after" up to three different steps.
1º Step
Well this is be the most complex phase. You find yourself in a situation in which everything that was certain ain't anymore and that get painful. You can either deny you're hurting, or you get out there screwing everyone one you can, you may isolate yourself, you may pretend everything is alright...There are so many possibilities..The thing is this process as much as it sucks is essential to get to its end game: getting over her/him.
Hoobastank - I don't think I love you
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I never though that it would come to this
I know we'll never get back
To what we were before
Cause I know that i don't love you anymore.
2º Step
After you've realized you're world has fell apart you start doubting yourself. You've dedicated so much time to that person that she/he became a huge part of who you were. With no one to define you, you reach an identity crises.Who was I before all of that? Who am I now?
Hoobastank - Who the hell am I?
I won't apologize
For who i come to be
Cause who the hell am I
If I can't be me
I've wasted to much time
On insecurities
Cause who the hell am I
If I can't be me
3º Step
The irony of this is it always ends up the same way: you get involved again..
Hoobastank - You're the one
I'm ready to begin
A brand new chapter of our lives
Just tell me
Where and When
As I think about the matters of life, I'm learning more and more about the human condition, its nature,its needs, its fears..
Basically, pain is a reality. There is no running away from that. And when it comes to people liking each other..
R.E.M. - Everybody Hurts

The first… Kiss
I was in an atrium when I noticed a couple in the lower stands, with no more than six springs ran by them. They were lovely and cute together, but something was strangely of… they had a guilty kind of look towards each other; one might think they were up to no good.
I stared, and look for evidence to cooperate with my suspicion, and although I couldn't listen to them the boy seam to say to the girl "do you wanna? Or not? I'm only doing it if we both want to", the girl responded with silence and looked up to me in the atrium, showing to my curious stare a smile of embarrassment, but then she responded to the boy positive, she also wanted to do IT.
The boy then grabbed her by the hand, and then with his other hand he grabbed the trousers of a man standing in the auditory. And then he closed his eyes, tightened the girl's hand and kissed… The man's ass…
I was astonished then has you must be now reading this words, and to break free of that astonishment I started laughing while looking to the boy who had kissed a man's ass and was now furious at the girl (who was laughing also)because she didn't do the same.
This goes to show that in love boys are always innocent and stupid, as for girls they are always cunning and evil.
As I calmed down my and turned to my family, they gave me a reprehending look, for that was not the way to behave in mass

My world
I believe human nature is good. I believe evil gets learned. I believe when we get born all we are is good, all we have is instinct.
So, in my world we are all equals and FREE. We are all entitled to the same rights because deep down we're all the same..
All the things that bring humanity together are THE reason in my world there is no crime. We have no right to make others suffer on propose, for no reason but to please ourselves..
In my world, Earth is a huge village.. There are governments to help to organize society but there is no war between them. Each one of them has its purpose and that's that.
War makes no sense in a world of equals.
In my world, society provides the same opportunities to everyone, but those who worked harder got rewarded. They may get rich, respected,..whatever. BUT, the thing is in my world there are no status. I mean, richer people do not get millions of people to do their way. Ultimately, power becomes a pointless concept.
We call ourselves the bigger race, cause we're rational beings. So, if we think so clearly, we understand we are nothing more than animals who are able to do what other species don't (at least so deeply..).
But when it comes to become life (even) more pleasant, we don't take the time nor the effort to (try to) make it happen. We're lazy, and that got learned.
Knowing we all humans, we get we're all the same. Knowing we're all the same give us the information we have no right to act violently towards another humans.
Knowing we're all the same, we get that we are no better humans just because we succeed where others didn't. You may be proud of yourself, obviously, but that gives you no right to get stupid at people.
The ability to think made us develop the concept of knowledge. That teached us we need rules to live in huge groups. But when it comes to power and the abuse of it, i believe it's an option. You can have power and still do not feel like you rock the world. No, power means responsibility, and that is something only few people can handle.
My worlds is based on a simple thing : responsibility. And it makes it works.
It isn't perfect. It isn't even finished. But it'd work.
My world
In MY WORLD there's war.
Because it's our nature, we are ambitious, we are jealous we want what other's want. There's nothing other have that you can't have, but everything has a price…
In MY WORLD there are rich and poor.
Because everything has a value, and there are things that are valuable than others. If we value money there will be people with more than the others, if instead we value friends some will have more than others.
In MY WORLD there's crime.
Because everything has a price and when someone has not what it takes to pay they'll have to find another way.
In MY WORLD we're all different.
No one lives by the same set of ideals or values as the person sitting next you in the coffee shop. Some might be coincidental, and be called laws. But eventually someone will break them.
In MY WORLD there's retribution.
Because we just have to feel good in the end.
In my world there's innovation.
Because we forever believe in a better world, and that we'll get there someday.
In MY WORLD there's love.
But also anger, pain, happiness, joy, disputes, sacrifice, work, and all other feelings that may pass through your head.
In MY WORLD we have free thinkers.
That speaks out loud words that are like feelings
In MY WORLD there are not given wrights.
Everyone has to conquer their own.
In MY WORLD there is death and life just the same has in the world we live in.
But in MY WORLD…
We choose liberty over security.
In my world
There's no war because there's no need. There's no ambition, no jealousy nor revenge. There's nothing others have that you can't have so there's nothing you want to take from them.
In my world there's no poverty.
There's no poverty because nothing has value. Nothing except actions and words. There's no money, there's no trades because giving dust is the same as giving gold. You want nothing more than you have because everything is at your disposal.
In my world there's no success.
There's no success because all you seek is happiness, fulfilment. The only rewards for your work are joy and an increase in the common good. You work for everyone, but ultimately, you work for yourself. Those who don't want to work make other things; they're not as happy as you are.
In my world there's no crime.
There's no crime because everyone has what they need. And no one wants more. No one hates. That doesn't mean everyone loves, it just means that everyone understood what a waste of time and resources hating is. Again there's no jealousy. There's no evil 'cause there's no reason for it.
In my world there's difference and equality.
Everyone's different and that makes everyone equal in their differences. Each person has the same rights, the same duties, the same opportunities. Everyone respects this differences because that's the only way to be respected in return. There's no racism, we're all people. There's no discrimination because there's no hate and there's no superiority complexes.
In my world there's innovation.
There's innovation because people realized it gives them pleasure to have new ideas, to make things, to try things, to understand things. To have an epiphany is one of the best adrenaline pumps there is. Within all differences, there's different interests and everything is interesting to at least one person. In individuality there's team work, and that leads to better individuals. There's no stagnation, because there is evolution in thinking too. There are constant questions being raised.
In my world there's love.
There's love because it's good. That's enough. People realized they can't live alone and that there's always something they like in each other. When they like many things, they fall in love. But sometimes they stop loving after a while. Oh there are broken hearts in my world! There's suffering but there's no hate. People learned to appreciate the good moments, to live them and experience them with all they've got. In my world there's no hidden interests, the only goal is to be happy, as happy as you can.
This is my world.

Economics and enterprises information analysis
The mean of Vj and the mean of Fj and the mean of my brain splashing all over the class room minus the coefficient of variation gives me a number. So better put the shotgun in my mouth and Sploush.

White Flag
"And when we meet
'Cause I'm sure we will
All that was there
Will be there still"
And this is exactly why I don't believe in friendship after love. I just don't think it works, at least not for me. I believe two friends falling in love is an irreversible process, there's no turning back.
But I don't want to be dogmatic, I will gladly change my mind, if someone ever proves me wrong.
I'm the old man
Time runs fast and I can’t take the train to catch it. In truth, it isn’t so much like I can’t catch it, but more like I won’t...
I know time is relative, and it should not take a genius to acknowledge that. I know it, because has I walk through the spring of my life, like so many say to me, I feel just if it is like the fall I should have only to face several years ahead.
And because like I said time runs, I’ve ran out, and won’t be able to finish the p…

Our lives
We give too much credit, or whatever it is, to social networks such as twitter, face book, hi5, etc…
Mostly because we have no one that we can really trust at all, making us needed to find someone distant to tell secrets and lies to impregnate with deceitful words and promises. What I mean is most of you don't have really any friends so turn to your little laptops and strike three W's so you'll find some sick and virtual advice and company.
I've tried them all, so that you don't accuse me of lack of empirical study, and in my failure to compute what it is advertised, and after arguments with some peers I find these networks to be obsolete, when I have friends like Jack and deWinter.
Sure sometimes I have to carry the most bohemian of us home in a stretcher, but that's a thousand times better than just having words in a board to relate to.
It's our life, it's my life, and it's your life and not an avatar's life. Do something Be creative, judge to a face instead of this lists of crap.
Having a huge number of friends doesn't mean anything if for all that it is worth none of them tell you to stop doing bad!
And to prove my loyal friendship:
DeWinter I I think you should calm down this bohemian life style,
Jack Stop with the secrets! And Talk trash more often because it's wonderful
And a special note to everyone else:
SHOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Give people guns
The state protects too much people, creating a scared and tamed society.
Every day we see stupid rules being created because firms need to be protected against stupid law suits they have to face because some eccentric bastard and his/hers layer want to take advantage of a justice flock, and make some millions because of it.
People were given too much liberty, and decided to abuse it, ending now trapped in a web, by their own fault they weaved.
For example:
There's a case of a pedophile professor in school, he's caught and trailed according to the law, and if found guilty of the accusations, the child and the child's family will be monetary compensated and facilitated experts' trauma analysis…
But that's not enough!
The school should also be to blame, for hiring a pedophile docent (although there were no previous cases, and for years the docent had no prior cases).So the school is found guilty.
The school learns from this incident, and decides to create a rule to prohibit any physical contact, between a student and docent, that doesn't fall in the category of normal behavior.
In a society where everyone is linked to everyone by a non-physical dimension, limiting the physical one seems (to me) to be somewhat inappropriate.
The children don't interact with their fathers because they are busy working. Their colleagues/friends are just bits in a computer screen, and a consolation given by an tutor is immediately looked as if it were a court marshal infringement.
This will create a lonelier based world where the numbers of suicides are extremely probable to increase. And it even comes to a point if these defaulted rules continue to be made. It will reach a point Where the contact needed for human conception will be also prohibited, giving an end to SEX.
I'm a liberal and think everyone must be given the liberty to live their own way, but how things are right now we're living the life's someone planed us to have, and if this goes on without a stop, there won't be any life's to live.
Justice and every law must be re-studied and re-arranged so that we have a better system. Preferably one were the government/state only intervenes were things are chaotic and not when things are looking to go in an unfavorable way.
Liberty must be taken cared of by every individual instead of a organization.

Patriotism
Apart from this, I do like when the portuguese football team wins... Is that contradictory?
A friend of mine said we become different people when we're competing for our country, for example. I guess it's normal that we feel good to represent a TEAM, we feel good when we win. But that has nothing to do with our country.
Don't get me wrong, I like living here, I'm lucky to have been born here and not somewhere else; I might not have the same opportunities. But that's it. I'm all for globalization (in this strict sense of having no boundaries!).
Urray!
ps: that's a friend I met in school, her name is Destiny. She works at night, after school :/

SPAv (Stupidity is Perfect in Aquatic vacations)
I've been retained in a peaceful environment for three days, wonderful days they were, but in such peaceful environment only I could think about was death, war and conflict.
And to nature those thoughts I seeded in my mind, I ended up reading this marvelous piece of dialog:
Death: Each one of you,
My clammy hands must touch.
Each one must bend his
Forehead to my kiss.
But, hark!
Methinks a mortal doth approach!
What have we here?
What beauty by my side?
A rose in bloom, a shrinking violet?
Perhaps she has a mind to be my bride.
Victim: I don't want to die!
Death: But Death we are and have always been.
Victim: Someone help me!
Please!
What have I done?
Death: We all die!
Victim: But I'm young!
Death: Death is no respecter of age!
It can come any time, any place.
Just as this flesh is pink now...so it will turn gray and wrinkle with age.
Victim: Let me live! I don't care!
Death: Then why should you care if you die now?
Death: And suppose Death had a heart
to love and to release you?
To whom would he turn his passion?
Would you choose a person from the crowd there?
A person to suffer; as you do?
Suicide: Monsieur Death, take me!
I adore you!
Death: You wait your turn!
Well...
Do you know what it means…
To be loved by Death?
To become our bride? Adapted from An interview with a vampire
Beautiful, isn't it?
But not only had the supernatural taunted my thoughts, as they traveled the wide universe to raise the simple question: Should we be truly overzealous against war?
Let's imagine that in the whole wide universe there's a similar species like the ones we seem to be… imagine that!
They live in a far, yet near, star system, and to their lucky break they are somehow a couple of hundred years ahead of us in technology and stuff like so… Imagine that!
And they build a spaceship and navigate, quite unexpectedly on purpose, to here our home planet… what then?
What should we do then?
A Welcome is for sure the answer, but what type of welcoming "party" should we deliver?
A Martial one or a more fraternal one?
When i reached this question i fell asleep on the Jacuzzi and never deliberated about it again , leaving to you to see the trade-offs of the situation.
But now that i'm back…
To the city of my desires, hopes and dreams I just want to go back to my thoughtless sleep, friend joking and late night babe-sitting. Like I was doing before, because rest is only as good as the strength one want's to waste preparing for it.
Signing off for just a little while…
ME
WHY??
Why? Truth is you can run but you can't hide.
