You have to do your best...

"...oh baby, give me your best, for us to be happy.... Woman, you have to do your best... you have to do your best"

Tonight I have a concert to go, of a brazilian band called "Cidade Negra" (Black City).
I don't know much about music, thou I work in a radio station (lol)... but I'd say it is a mix of reggae and pop music...
I am a big fan of them... cuz more than a good melody, their songs have a wonderful message... also has a lot to do with my blog, so I will write down some verses for you...

"Today I've woken up thinking of a good life that can get even better
Today I've woken up easily, I've woken up so light
I am gonna make the world dance
Today I've gotten up to life
It's a good reason to keep goin'
Remember life is short like fire and snow
Like the breeze that comes to the ocean"

"Leaving behind bad thoughts, disequilibrium, bitterness
Live in peace every moment, at home, in the middle of the street,
If you think it is impossible to have all this and a calm love...
Why don't you try just a little bit?"

Wanna know more about them? They have a new website www.cidadenegra.com.br where you can get the lyrics and download photos... or just google it!
p.s - the english version is still under construction :(


"oh baby, me dê o seu melhor, pra gente ser feliz... oh woman, you have to do your best... you have to do your best"

Oba, hoje à noite vou ao show do Cidade Negra!
Não entendo muito de música, embora trabalhe numa rádio (risos), mas diria que a banda é um mix de reggae e música popular....
Sou uma fanzona deles... porque mais que uma boa melodia, suas músicas têm uma mensagem maravilhosa... além disso, tem tudo a ver com meu blog, por isso, vou escrever alguns de seus versos abaixo:

"Hoje eu acordei pensando
Numa vida boa que ainda pode melhorar
Hoje eu acordei na boa, acordei tão leve
Vou fazer o mundo dançar
Hoje eu acordei pra vida
É um bom motivo pra poder continuar
Se lembre que a vida é breve como fogo e neve
Como a brisa leve que vem pro mar"

"Deixar pra trás maus pensamentos
Desequilíbrios, as amarguras
Viver em paz todo o momento
Dentro de casa, no meio da rua
Se você acha impossível
Ter tudo isso e um amor tranqüilo
Que tal tentar só um pouquinho?"

Quer saber mais sobre eles? A banda está com um site novo www.cidadenegra.com.br onde você pode pegar as letras de música e baixar fotos... ou até mesmo procurar pela banda no Google!
obs: a versão em inglês está em construção :(

What's the difference of being different?

Yesterday I felt like Shrek... not belonging to the world. I felt like a stranger and that made me feel really sad. But you know what? Today I see a positive side of it. I mean... what is the point of being like everyone? Being different doesn't mean, in the first place, being wrong. Being different means being yourself. How many brilliant and talented people have contributed to the world? Weren't they different? That's why they could make the difference. From this point of view, I kinda like the idea of being different. In fact, I love that! Check out what people think about being different... "In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different." (Coco Chanel) "Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary." (Cecil Beaton) "Share our similarities, celebrate our differences." (M. Sco...

Changing your perspective

A few weeks ago there was this huge blackout in Brazil, caused by a technical problem in Itaipu dam, the second-largest hydroelectric power producer in the world ( Yahoo news here ). It was very weird and a bit scary to realize how dependent we are on eletricity. For hours there was no TV, no radio, no computer. Some cellphones weren't working and despite my notebook being ok, it seemed useless without internet. I was at home when it happened and I prayed for those people who were out of their homes at that time. I imagine how many of them were in the subway, in the elevator, at the office, alone on the street. I remembered people in hospital and all kinds of situation in which people are highly dependant on electricity. I took that time to think and I realized we should be always ready to live with little, even though the media keeps saying we need more and more, in this endless consumption world. I remember the day after the blackout some people would complain about missing a...

Priorities...

I am impressed by the fact that most people doesn't know what is really important in their lives. In fact, everybody knows what is best and could make their own top 10 list, but theory sometimes is far away from the reality. I myself have had a hard time trying to balance my priorities. And it seems that I never get it. I had a teacher in my master who used to compare economy to a short blanket. He used to say "If the country reduces the interests in order to acelerate the economy, it will suffer from inflation. On the other hand, if it increases the interests in order to control the inflation, it will suffer from stagnation". From that I want to make a parallel to our lives. To cover all we need or want we sometimes change our priorities. In this way, we are constantly trying to balance our lives, though not always with success. Since the last few weeks I've had some struggles. I've had no answer for them or maybe I just couldn't see their real importance. Th...
