What A Remix (Is (For))

Felix Da Housecat's Heavenly House Mix: Sinnerman

«Isto não é um triângulo!»

Oscar Reutersvärd I: Certo!

«Podemos tentar outra vez?»

Oscar Reutersvärd II: Claro! Aqui estão mais 3 [triângulos].

«Mas...»

Oscar Reutersvärd III: "Now you can follow the lines, read some Plato... Do not adjust your eye sight. You will see."

Reflexão #2 (Catherine Tramell)

Não existem triângulos.

A Via da Perdição (Iterada)

More From The West (Thoureau)

[1] It is not a man's duty, as a matter of course, to devote himself to the eradication of any, even to most enormous, wrong; he may still properly have other concerns to engage him; but it is his duty, at least, to wash his hands of it, and, if he gives it no thought longer, not to give it practically his support. If I devote myself to other pursuits and contemplations, I must first see, at least, that I do not pursue them sitting upon another man's shoulders. I must get off him first, that he may pursue his contemplations too. See what gross inconsistency is tolerated. I have heard some of my townsmen say, "I should like to have them order me out to help put down an insurrection of the slaves, or to march to Mexico - see if I would go"; and yet these very men have each, directly by their allegiance, and so indirectly, at least, by their money, furnished a substitute. The soldier is applauded who refuses to serve in an unjust war by those who do not refuse to sustain the unjust government which makes the war; is applauded by those whose own act and authority he disregards and sets at naught; as if the state were penitent to that degree that it hired one to scourge it while it sinned, but not to that degree that it left off sinning for a moment. Thus, under the name of Order and Civil Government, we are all made at last to pay homage to and support our own meanness. After the first blush of sin comes its indifference; and from immoral it becomes, as it were, unmoral, and not quite unnecessary to that life which we have made.
[2] I wish to speak a word for Nature, for absolute freedom and wildness, as contrasted with a freedom and culture merely civil - to regard man as an inhabitant, or a part and parcel of Nature, rather than a member of society. I wish to make an extreme statement, if so I may make an emphatic one, for there are enough champions of civilization: the minister and the school committee and every one of you will take care of that.

Once Upon A Time In The West (South Carolina)

"The choice in this election is not about regions or religions or genders. It's not about rich versus poor, young versus old and it is not about black versus white. This election is about the past versus the future."

Progressive Songs: "Feed Your Head"

when the voice, the true voice



telling the truth again: let it rain



runs out of proportion



«it's raining (again)»
(do port. não, oh não, outra vez não!)

Best (Non-Progressive) Song Ever #1

(now play it loud)

In Candy's room there are pictures of her heroes on the wall,
but to get to Candy's room you gotta walk the darkness of Candy's hall.
Strangers from the city call my baby's number and they bring her toys,
when I come knocking, she smiles pretty, she knows I wanna be Candy's boy.

There's a sadness hidden in that pretty face, a sadness all of her own, from which no man can keep Candy safe.

WE KISS



MY BLOOD RUSHES [orig.: MY HEART'S PUMPIN'] TO MY BRAIN, MY [orig.: THE] BLOOD RUSHES IN MY VEINS,
when I touch Candy's lips,
we go driving, driving deep into the night,
I go driving deep into the light, in Candy's eyes.

She says, Baby if you wanna be wild,
you got a lot to learn, close your eyes,
let them melt, let them fire - LET THEM BURN -
cause in the darkness, there'll be hidden worlds that shine,
when I hold Candy close she makes these hidden worlds mine.

She has fancy clothes and diamond rings,
She has men who give her anything she wants, but they don't see,
That what she wants is me,
Oh, and I want her so,
I'll never let her go - no, no, no -
She knows that I'd give
All that I got to give,
All that I want, all that I live,
To make Candy mine
TONIGHT.

Machismo/Marxismo #1

«Women should be obscene and not heard.»
A ideia é disputável. De facto, parece também muito razoável associá-la a uma excepção. Ao longo de uma partida de ténis...
Lord, oh Lord,
in that case, let women be
just
heard.

As Relações

Nomeadamente a «de compreensão», pois claro. (Arnauld? Nicole?!)

More On Being (An) Euphemism

[Houve um tempo em que tudo corria razoavelmente bem.]
1977) Eufemismo, s. Do fr. eufemisme, este do gr. euphemismós,
«emprego de palavra favorável em vez de outra de mau
agoiro», pelo lat. tardio euphemismus (em vez de euphēmǐa,
mais vulgar), e, depois, pelo fr. euphémisme.
1994) ‘Euphemism’ means ‘sounding good’. Instead of blunt or
coarse words, euphemizers prefer bland or enhancing
terms.
1964) Eufemismo è quel fenomeno linguistico per cui alcune
parole vengono evitate e sostituite con altre. (...) A volte
nel linguaggio commune, si intende per eufemismo il
termine che viene usato al posto di quello colpito da
interdizione: in questo senso preferiremo usare sostituto
eufemistico o semplicemente sostituto.
[Depois veio outro tempo.]
1990) Eufemismo, s.m. Figura de linguagem ou pensamento que consiste em empregar uma expressão favorável ou suavizada, em lugar de um termo áspero, desagradável:
espécie de perífrase, pela qual expressamos as ideias tristes,
desagradáveis ou desonestas por meio de palavras brandas e
suaves.
[Dentro dele vinha a Porto Editora.]

Reflexão #1 (Catherine Tramell)

Creio firmemente que há só dois tipos de pessoas: as adoradoras do Basic Instinct (1992) e as adoradoras do Basic Instinct 2 (2006). Talvez não haja mesmo volta a dar (a isto). Seja assim feita a vossa vontade, Senhor:
"Even when she tells the truth, it's a lie!"

A Pornografia Numa Galeria Municipal

Tratava-se de arte simpliciter.
Infelizmente havia uma espécie de caixa - berçário ou lá o que era - que impedia os anjinhos mais pequeninos de a verem.
Felizmente, a experiência era conjunta - e eu, benedictus, devidamente assistido, acabei por ser elevado ao estado contemplativo relevante.

A Via da Dúvida

Tenho dúvidas se alguma vez irei "postar" algo aqui porque me sinto esmagada pelos anteriores "posts".

A Via Alternativa

"Why, you might just as well say that 'I see what I eat' is the same thing as 'I eat what I see'!"

Afinal é ou não é absurdo dizer de um corpo que ele tem uma dor? E o que dizer de dizer de mim (na minha mão, por exemplo)?
