no woman, no cry

A true artist

Hallelujah

Sometimes you really want to plan something carefully, with every little detail, so that when the moment comes it goes perfect. But when it does, it's all the things you didn't say the way you wanted and the ones you wished you d said and done that make it feel like a disaster. Still, what makes a difference in this badly rehearsed play is how you feel about it, about all the misheard and stuttered lines and stambled moves you made. The way that all these little tiny perfect imperfections make magic become real.

"And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
and love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah..."

Boors

A boor is a man with no manners. A man that s learnt to live like an animal, who behaves to others like they re trash.. Imagine what happens when you give the boor the right to act the way he pleases.. Let's dedicate some lyrics to a boor. A typical boor is quite similar to all other boors anyway.. That's another characteristic they have.. "Well, you walk into the room Like a camel and then you frown You put your eyes in your pocket And your nose on the ground There ought to be a law Against you comin' around You should be made To wear earphones". - Bob Dylan

Radio song

"The world is collapsing around our ears,

I turned up the radio, but I can't hear it."

Saturday. Around 1 am. I was laying in bed, ready to sleep, when the phone rang. It was a friend. He said they were going for a beer with J. and that I should join them. I was a bit tired but still decided to go out. It was a very crowded night ... (read more downstairs)

Compilation CD

One of the things I love doing is listening to music while driving my car.. It helps ease my mind, gather my thoughts (well, when I happen to have any, which is a rare phenomenon..!).. Sometimes I even take some very important decisions while driving and listening to music.. You know, like, have a coke or an orangeade with dinner.. things like that..! Just kidding!

Anyway, the thing is ... (read more downstairs)

Days of "Flou"

We were having a beer at this bar, that really had a wide range of beers from all around the world, great music and a weird eccentric but nice decoration... We used to go there a lot, but as time went by, more men and less women were going at a point that it started getting annoying... So one night it was like 20 men in there and 2 women (the waitress and some guy's
girlfriend).. It was becoming a gay bar.. We couldn't stand it no more and left. We were thinking of where to go next, and that is when ... (read more downstairs)

So this time we were in New York.

So, it's time for another story...

We were invited to this party in Stratford (tha's in East London).. We kept it low because we had high expectaions as for what we were about to find there, so only the two adventurers went, even though there was this woman who was a spy and who wanted to find out what was going on and where we were going.. We managed to escape her. It was a cool party ... (read more downstairs)

introducing a new era

You wonder why the times have changed,

you'll never find an answer to that.

But all the while you're not the same

just try to understand,

that all those men and women've cried

& lost their hopes and dreams...

They're all part now of the penny arcade

Wish I could pull them out again
