Badly Drawn Boy - Disillusion

"Disillusion"

Seems you created your own illusion
Fuelled by an image of me
Well I couldn't stay at your side
It wouldn't be right
A picture that I just don't see

Why do you have to make it so complicated
Can't it just be beautiful
I don't want to stifle your flight
I didn't mean to fall in love

Always in pursuit of the perfect people
Oh and I can see that it shows
But there's just an innocence in you I wanna wring out
I know it could be beautiful

But I don't want a part ofsome situation
I don't want to be in that boat
I don't want to stifle your flight
I didn't mean to fall in love

Seems you created your own illusion
Fuelled by an image of me
Well I couldn't stay at your side
It wouldn't be right
A picture that I just don't see

The Kills - Last Day of Magic

We’re two parties
Two parties ending

What if you move
What if you hide
There's only so much you can miss
Before we both collide

My little tornado
My little hurricano
Last day of magic
Where are you
My little tornado
My little hurricano

We’re two parties
Two parties ending

I'll be the man with the broom
If you'll be the guts of the room
And there's only so much you can hide
Before I corner you

Last day of magic
Where are you
My little tornado
My little hurricano
Last day of magic
Coming through
The eye of the storm
And I hold on to
My little tornado
My little hurricano

I'll be the man with the broom
If you'll be the guts of the room
And there's only so much you can hide
Before I corner you

Last day of magic
Put a hole right through
The eye of the storm
In a single room
My little tornado
My little hurricano

Calvary come
Calvary go
Calvary leave me alone
My little serenade - oh
My little co-cocaine - oh

Last day of magic
Where are you
My little tornado
My little hurricano

No I don't want love you,
'cos I know who you are,
That's why I've been staying away from you,
That is why I ever call,
Huummm, I know that you could possess my body,
And I know you could make me scrawl
I know you'd have me shaken,
Have me climbing the wall
That's why I don't wanna' love you

'cos I know how you are
Sure you say you're right on and your righteous, girl
Come with me, I know you'd be right off
'cos I know you could possess my body,
I know you could make me crawl,
And just as hard as I fall for you girl,
Well you know you would fall for me harder
That's why I don't want to love you

'cos I know what you would do to my heart
You scourge me like a hot iron,
Leave me whining all alone in the dark,
'cos I know that you would make me suffer
I know that you would drive me wild (that's right) wild
You would take me in a circle
And when it gather you, I know you'd disappear
That's why I don't wanna' love you

'cos I know you like to be in charge,
And with me you know you can't control me, baby,
'cos you know you drive your car
I have you eating your ego (I don't think so !!)
I'd make it pocket your pride, oh no
And just as hard as I've been loving you,
Well you know you'd be loving me harder

That's why I ain't gonna' love you

That's why I don't wanna love you
No I don't want to love you
No I don't want to love you
No I don't want to love you
No I don't want to love you
No I don't want to love you
No I don't want to love you
No I don't want to love you

The xx - Crystalised

You've applied the pressure
To have me crystallized
And you've got the faith
That I could bring paradise

I'll forgive and forget
Before I'm paralyzed
Do I have to keep up the pace
To keep you satisfied

Things have gotten closer to the sun
And I've done things in small doses
So don't think that I'm pushing you away
When you're the one that I've kept closest


You don't move slow
Taking steps in my directions
The sound resounds, echo
Does it lesson your affection
No

You say I'm foolish
For pushing this aside
But burn down our home
I won't leave alive

Glaciers have melted to the sea
I wish the tide would take me over
I've been down on my knees
And you just keep on getting closer


Glaciers have melted to the sea (Things have gotten closer to the sun)
I wish the tide would take me over (And I've done things in small doses)
I've been down onto my knees (So don't think that I'm pushing you away)
And you just keep on getting closer (When you're the one that I've kept closest)

Go slow
Go slow

Go slow
Go slow

Go slow

message to self: quit the crap, paint the town red

Tightly I hold her
Closer to my heart
I'm certain when I squeeze her
For total love she'll sacrifice

You're the reasons to live
Your wish is your command
A simple flick of the wrist
Could simply be the end

I heard rumors of a loaded gun
(Paint the town red)
Vicious rumours of a loaded gun
(Paint the town red)

She blows you powdered kisses
The kind that break your heart
Last night things got crazed
She went off, off on me

baralhação

olho para o ecrã vazio.
apetece-me estar ali outra vez, definitivamente.
acredito que a minha intuição não me engana.
sei que os meus desejos atrapalham o caminho.
os caminhos cruzam-se.
os acasos acontecem.
surpreende-me.
sorri, e lembra-me do que disseste
não faz mal eu estou aqui.
olho para ti.
olhas para mim.
estamos aqui os dois.
continuamos aqui.

ficção #4 - alice ao portão

a alice ao portão
nunca pensou que ele lhe desse a mão
mas naquele dia quando se viu
no meio da confusão
disse logo muito depressa
ai que grande desilusão!
assim que o disse calou-se
e a boca com as mãos tapou
mal sabia ela
o impacto que ficou...
mais adiante na estória,
depois de muito ouvir
resolveu pedir à glória
mais comprimidos para dormir.
assim ficou a sonhar
sem sentir a confusão
com o que havia de ganhar
assim que investisse o primeiro tostão.
neste conto pequenino
ninguém irá levar a mal
um amigo canino
a dar à cauda no canal.
nem sei porque é que ainda aqui estou
aguardando a tua chegada
mais vale desligar isto
do que fazer uma cagada.

am i ever gonna change

tenho comichões e fico sem posição cada vez que uma pessoa daquelas me aparece pela frente...

caracteristicas: geralmente bastante atentos (ou a fingir que não), observam/escutam tudo até ao tutano e registam. no momento seguinte (que pode variar: minutos, horas dias...) vomitam uma versão "melhorada"/"adaptada" como se inclusivamente tivessem registado a patente anos antes.

exemplo mais ridiculo:

malagueta - e se fossemos ao cinema? bla bla bla tarantino, bla bla bla lynch...

resposta típica 1 - (empurrando a cabeça para o lado direito e encolhendo os ombros) hum.
resposta tipica 2 - vi à semanas um livro do mapplethorpe, já tens?
resposta tipica 3 - (sem resposta)

10 minutos depois...

proposta - estava aqui a pensar... e se fossemos ao cinema? bla bla bla lynch e tarantino, bla bla bla...

malagueta - humph. (enquanto cerra o punho esquerdo)

Masanobu Fukuoka

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

...if modern agriculture continues to follow the path it's on now, it's finished. The food-growing situation may seem to be in good shape today, but that's just an illusion based on the current availability of petroleum fuels. All the wheat, corn, and other crops that are produced on big American farms may be alive and growing, but they're not products of real nature or real agriculture. They're manufactured rather than grown. The earth isn't producing those things... petroleum is! —Masanobu Fukuoka, Mother Earth News interview, 1982[1]

Masanobu Fukuoka (福岡 正信 Fukuoka Masanobu February 2, 1913 – August 16, 2008) author of The One-Straw Revolution, The Road Back to Nature and The Natural Way Of Farming, was one of the pioneers of no-till grain cultivation. His system is referred to as "natural farming", Fukuoka Farming, or the Fukuoka Method.

Background

Trained as a microbiologist in his native Japan, he began his career as a soil scientist specializing in plant pathology. At age 25, he began to doubt the wisdom of modern agricultural science. He eventually quit his job as a research scientist, and returned to his family's farm on the island of Shikoku in Southern Japan to grow organic mikans. From that point on he devoted his life to developing a unique small scale organic farming system that does not require weeding, pesticide or fertilizer applications, or tilling.

The timing and circumstances of Fukuoka's conversion from Western agricultural science, parallels the new movement in the 1940s to organic farming and gardening in Europe and the US, led by pioneers like Lady Eve Balfour, Sir Albert Howard, and J.I. Rodale (founder of Rodale Press). However Fukuoka himself believed that he was going a step further than organic farming:

"The problem, however, is that most people do not yet understand the distinction between organic gardening and natural farming. Both scientific agriculture and organic farming are basically scientific in their approach. The boundary between the two is not clear." (The Road Back to Nature page 363)

At age 92, Fukuoka still managed to lecture when he could, such as at the Expo 2005 in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. Fukuoka died on August the 16th 2008, at the age of 95.

Technique

Fukuoka practices a system of farming he refers to as "natural farming." Although some of his practices are specific to Japan, the governing philosophy of his method has successfully been applied around the world. In India, natural farming is often referred to as "Rishi Kheti."

The essence of Fukuoka's method is to reproduce natural conditions as closely as possible. There is no plowing, as the seed germinates quite happily on the surface if the right conditions are provided. There is also considerable emphasis on maintaining diversity. A ground cover of white clover grows under the grain plants to provide nitrogen. Weeds (and Daikons) are also considered part of the ecosystem, periodically cut and allowed to lie on the surface so the nutrients they contain are returned to the soil. Ducks are let into the grain plot, and specific insectivorous carp into the rice paddy at certain times of the year to eat slugs and other pests.

The ground is always covered. As well as the clover and weeds, there is the straw from the previous crop, which is used as mulch, and each grain crop is sown before the previous one is harvested. This is done by broadcasting the seed among the standing crop. Also he re-introduced the ancient technique of seed balls (粘土団子,土団子,土だんご,Tsuchi Dango (Earth Dumpling). The seed for next season's crop is mixed with clay, compost, and sometimes manure, and formed into small balls. The result is a denser crop of smaller but highly productive and stronger plants.

Fukuoka's method and philosophy is about small scale farming, yet he claims "With this kind of farming, which uses no machines, no prepared fertilizer and no chemicals, it is possible to attain a harvest equal to or greater than that of the average Japanese farm." (The one-straw revolution page 3).

Quotes

"If we throw mother nature out the window, she comes back in the door with a pitchfork."

"When a decision is made to cope with the symptoms of a problem, it is generally assumed that the corrective measures will solve the problem itself. They seldom do. Engineers cannot seem to get this through their heads. These countermeasures are all based on too narrow a definition of what is wrong. Human measures and countermeasures proceed from limited scientific truth and judgment. A true solution can never come about in this way."

"Natural farming is not just for growing crops, it is for the cultivation and perfection of human beings.

"Giving up your ego is the shortest way to unification with nature."

My work began with the labyrinth in 1991 and since that time, my gifts in public speaking, leading workshops and guiding others have been able to come into the world in new ways due to this life-changing practice. Over the years, I’ve come to understand the labyrinth in many ways. I’ve lectured on it as a walking meditation, a path of prayer and a dynamic tool of manifestation. It certainly is a watering hole for the Spirit. The labyrinth meets you where you are, gives you what you need and connects you to an invisible web of relationships that opens you to be of service to others and to the planet. The labyrinth has been a major force of change in my life and I choose to be part of the invisible web of people in service to others and to our ailing planet.

Fritjof Capra (Áustria, 1939 - ) é um físico teórico e escritor que desenvolve trabalho na promoção da educação ecológica.

Capra recebeu, em 1966, seu doutorado em física teórica pela Universidade de Viena e tem dado palestras e escrito extensamente sobre as aplicações filosóficas da nova ciência. Atualmente vive com a esposa e a filha em Berkeley, Califórnia, onde é o diretor do centro de educação ecológica.

Capra tornou-se mundialmente famoso com seu O Tao da física, traduzido para vários idiomas. Nele, traça um paralelo entre a física moderna (relatividade, física quântica, física das partículas) e as filosofias e pensamentos orientais tradicionais, como o taoísta de Lao Tsé, o Budismo (incluindo o zen) e o Hinduismo. Surgido nos anos 70, O Tao da física busca os pontos comuns entre as abordagens oriental e ocidental da realidade. Recibido com enormes críticas pelo campo ortodoxo tanto da religião, quanto das ditas ciências atuais, as quais desprovaram das prospostas de Capra em seu livro.

Outro livro seu tornou-se referência para o pensamento sistêmico: O Ponto de Mutação, cujo nome foi extraído de um hexagrama do I Ching. Nele Capra compara o pensamento cartesiano, reducionista, modelo para o método científico desenvolvido nos últimos séculos, e o paradigma emergente do século XX, holista ou sistêmico (que vê o todo como indissociável, de modo que o estudo das partes não permite conhecer o funcionamento do organismo), em vários campos da cultura ocidental atual, como a medicina, a biologia, a psicologia e a economia.
