Went out to dinner the other night. Check came at the end of the meal, as it always does. Never liked the check at the end of the meal system, because money's a very different thing before and after you eat. Before you eat money has no value. And you don't care about money when you're hungry, you sit down at a restaurant. You're like the ruler of an empire. "More drinks, appetizers, quickly, quickly! It will be the greatest meal of our lives." Then after the meal, you know, you've got the pants open, you've got the napkins destroyed, cigarette butt in the mashed potatoes - then the check comes at that moment. People are always upset, you know. They're mystified by the check. "What is this? How could this be?" They start passing it around the table, "Does this look right to you? We're not hungry now. Why are we buying all this food?!"

Out Of Time
07-09-2007
"You know, I really.. I've come to the conclusion that there are certain friends in your life that they're just always your friends and you have to accept it. You see them, you don't really want to see them. You don't call them. They call you. You don't call back. They call again. The only way to get through talking with people that you don't really have anything in common with is to pretend you're hosting your own little talk show. This is what I do. You pretend there's a little desk around you. The only problem with this is there's no way you can say, "Hey, it's been great having you on the show. Were out of time."

Laugh, I Nearly Died

I've been travelling but I don't know where
I've been missing you but you just don't care
And I've been wandering, I've seen Greece and Rome
Lost in the wilderness, so far from home
Yeah, yeah
I've been to Africa, looking for my soul
And I feel like an actor looking for a role
I've been in Arabia, I've seen a million stars
Been sipping champagne on the boulevards - yes
I'm so sick and tired
Trying to turn the tide, yeah
So I'll say my goodbye
Laugh, laugh
I nearly died
I've been down to India, but it froze my bones
I'm living for the city, but I'm all alone
I've been travelling, but I don't know where
I've been wandering, but I just don't care
I hate to be denied
How you hurt my pride
I feel pushed aside
But laugh, laugh, laugh
I nearly died
Been travelling far and wide
Wondering who's going to be my guide
Living in a fantasy but it's way too far
But this kind of loneliness is way too hard
I've been wandering, feeling all alone
I lost my direction and I lost my home...Well
I'm so sick and tired
Now I'm on the side
Feeling so despised
When you laugh, laugh
I almost died

"ELAINE: (cont.) "Picking someone up at the airport." "Jury Duty." "Waiting for cable guy."
JERRY: Okay, just hand that over, please.
ELAINE: Oh, what is this?
JERRY: It's a list of excuses, it's for that guy, Horneck, who's at the game tonight with my tickets. I have that list now so in case he calls, I just consult it and i don't have to see him. (Elaine laughs.) I need it. (Elaine starts writing on the list.) What are you doing?
ELAINE: I got some for you.
JERRY: I don't need anymore.
ELAINE: No, no, no, no, no, these are good. Listen, listen: "You ran out of underwear, you can't leave the house."
JERRY: (sarcastic) Very funny.
ELAINE: How about: "You've been diagnosed as a multiple personality, you're not even you, you're Dan."
JERRY: I'm Dan. Can I have my list back, please?
ELAINE: (gives Jerry the list) Here, here. Jerry Seinfeld, I cannot believe you're doing this. This is absolutely infantile.
JERRY: What can I do?
ELAINE: Deal with it. Be a man!
JERRY: Oh no. That's impossible. I'd rather lie to him for the rest of my life that go through that again. He was crying, tears accompanied by mucus.
ELAINE: You made a man cry? I've never made a man cry. I even kicked a guy in the groin once and he didn't cry.. I got the cab.
JERRY: A couple of tough monkeys."

This Lullaby
27-08-2007
Where, Oh where have you been my love?
Where, Oh where can you be?
It's been so long, since the moon has gone
And oh what a wreck you've made me
Are you there over the ocean?
Are you there, up in the sky?
Until the return of my love
This lullaby
My hope is on the horizon
Every face, it's your eyes I can see
I plead and pray through each night and day
Our embrace is only a dream
And as sure as days come from moments
Each hour becomes a life's time
When she'd left, I'd only begun this lullaby
Queens Of The Stone Age
Where, Oh where have you been my love?
Where, Oh where can you be?

Until the return of my love

Um Post Só Para Ti
26-08-2007
"Sigur Rós de fundo. Levado pela língua inventada, imagino na minha cabeça um ser de contornos baços. Esse ser de contornos baços é o mesmo que amei em alturas que já passaram. Esse ser de contornos baços provoca um espasmo no meu rosto. Sorrio. Esse ser, claro, és tu. Indefesa, pobre pomba faminta.
Não sei há quanto tempo, apenas que é muito, que não te vejo com a regularidade de todos os dias. Não me recordo da última vez que te vi, que te falei, te cheirei, mas mensagens trocadas pelo telemóvel sei que foi ontem, num exercício de pouca sinceridade e latente civilidade que me quererás demonstrar.
Desejavas bom ano. Felicidades e que continuasse igual a mim mesmo. Os meus amigos dizem que tenho de mudar. Eu sinto que o devo fazer. Mas tu pedes-me para ficar igual a mim mesmo. Sei aquilo que queres dizer. Quero desobedecer. Ser outra pessoa. Outra, diferente. Mas não diferente como sempre quiseste que fosse. Independente e poderosa à imagem dos teus sonhos patetas que te levaram a cair num poço sem ar. Eu fui o teu oxigénio, agora pedes-me para não mudar. Mas há meses atrás, o que mais querias era que eu fosse outra pessoa
- preciso de admirar a pessoa com quem estou,
dizias.
- e eu só quero que gostes de mim,
respondia. Mas agora digo
- Desculpavas-te
e imagino. Sinto a tua momentânea felicidade, aquela que me exibes como uma chaga que me queres incrustar na pele só por maldade. Aceno afirmativamente com a cabeça, que quero um pouco dessa felicidade; um pouco de oxigénio, peço-te, o meu oxigénio que te ofereci. Num qualquer poço sem ar bem longe de ti."

I find out life is sometimes
Cauterized by the words
It seems the end of our times
Of reacting to the wounds
Turn off the led
The light that gets you
Normalized to the mass
A gala performance
Everyone with its mask
Automata glad to ignore
There's a mind behind the glass
I am sad in my soul
As I paint a cold smile on my mouth
My thoughts are for the hollow hearts
I'm creeping
It's nine o' clock, I'm drunk
The best way to keep on
Disgusted by the price
I'll leave this world at all
As soon as I'll be out
I will take a breath
And walk in search of someone
The face I can see
Disarmonia Mundi

GEORGE: ..she calls me up at my office, she says, "We have to talk."
JERRY: Uh, the four worst words in the English language.
GEORGE: That, or "Who's bra is this?"
JERRY: That is worse.
GEORGE: So we order lunch, and we're talking. Finally, she blurts out how it's "not working".
JERRY: Really.
GEORGE: So, I'm thinking, as she's saying this, I'm thinking: great, the relationship's over. But the egg salad's on the way. So now I have a decision - do I walk or do I eat?
JERRY: Hm? You ate.
GEORGE: We sat there for twenty minutes, chewing, staring at each other in a defunct relationship.
JERRY: Someone says, "Get out of my life!" and that doesn't affect your appetite?
GEORGE: Have you ever had their egg salad?
JERRY: It is unbelievable.
GEORGE: It's unbelievable. You know what else is unbelievable? I picked up the check. She didn't even offer. She ended it. The least she could do is send me off with a sandwich.
JERRY: (looking at George's penny jug) How much could you possibly have in there?
GEORGE: It's my money. What should I do? Throw it out the window? I know guy who took his vacation on change.
JERRY: Yeah? Where'd he go? To an arcade?
GEORGE: (sarcastic) That's funny. You're a funny guy.

Confiscate, your malady, your blindness

É p'ra amanha
Bem podias fazer hoje
Porque amanha sei que voltas a adiar
E tu bem sabes como o tempo foge
Mas nada fazes para o agarrar
Foi mais um dia e tu nada fizeste
Um dia a mais tu pensas que nao faz mal
Vem outro dia e tudo se repete
E vais deixando ficar tudo igual
É p'ra amanha
Bem podias viver hoje
Porque amanha quem sabe se vais ca estar
Ai tu bem sabes como a vida foge
Mesmo que penses que esta p'ra durar
Foi mais um dia e tu nada viveste
Deixas passar os dias sempre iguais
Quando pensares no tempo que perdeste
Entao tu queres mas é tarde demais
É p'ra amanha
Deixa la nao facas hoje
Porque amanha tudo se ha-de arranjar
Ai tu bem sabes que o trabalho foge
Mesmo de quem diz que quer trabalhar
Eu sei que tu andas a procurar
Esse lugar que acerte bem contigo
Do que aparece nao consegues gostar
E do que gostas ja esta preenchido

Sure Got Cold After The Rain Fell
15-08-2007
Rain fell this mornin', make me feel so bad
on account of my baby walked off with another man.
Like takin' eyesight from the blind man and money from the poor
that woman took my lovin' and walked on out that door.
And it sure got cold after the rain fell,
not from the sky, from my eye.
Somebody, can you tell me just what make a man feel this way?
Like river without its water, like night without a day.
And it sure 'nuff got cold after the rain fell,
not from the sky but from my eye.
If you're home early in the mornin' you hear that rain to fall,
with thunderbolts and lightning the wind begins to call.
Your worry's superficial 'cause you slept on through the night
but stormy weather keep you wond'rin' if ev'rything's all right.
And it sure 'nuff got cold after the rain fell,
not from the sky but from my eye,
not from the sky, from my eye.

Break Up With A Guy Pt2

"As a guy I don't know how I can break up with another guy. You know what I mean? I don't know how to say, "Bill, I feel I need to see other men."
Do you know what I mean? There's nothing I can do. I have to wait for someone to die. I think that's the only way out of this relationship. It could be a long time.
See, the great thing about guys is that we can become friends based on almost nothing. Just two guys will just become friends just because they're two guys. That's almost all we need to have in common. 'Cause sports - sports and women - is really all we talk about.
If there was no sports and no women the only thing guys would ever say is "So, what's in the refrigerator?"

Elect Death For President

Raise your wrist up in the air
And wave your razorblades like you just don't care
Use your voice, make homicide your choice
Politics coming straight from the crypt
Stirring up the world with its ugly stick
Put your faith in a shallow grave today
Red, yellow, black or white
It doesn't matter -- everyone dies tonight
Elect death, death for president
Elect death, death for president
Elect death, death for president
Elect death
Hooray for homicide
My left wing's baked and my right wing's fried
Vote for me and I'll legalize everything
Splish splash you're in a blood bath
Intentionally headed down the wrong path
But a dollar sign won't make you smile in your grave
Red, yellow, black or white
It doesn't matter -- everyone dies tonight
Elect death, death for president

Elect death, death for president

I'm on your side!

JERRY: (to Kramer) Who is it?
KRAMER: Take it.
JERRY: Who is it?
KRAMER: It's for you.
JERRY: (into phone) Hello? Oh, hi Joel. (Jerry hits Kramer with a magazine.) .. No. I was out of town. I just got back.. Kramer doesn't know anything.. He's just my next-door neighbor. Uh.. nothing much.. Tuesday? Uh, Tuesday, no. I'm meeting somebody.. Uh, Wednesday? Wednesday's okay.. Alright. Uh, I'm a little busy right now. Can we talk Wednesday morning? .. Okay.. yeah.. right.. thanks.. bye. (hangs up, then addresses Kramer) Why did you put me on the phone with him? I hate just being handed a phone.
KRAMER: Well, it's your phone. He wanted to talk to you
JERRY: Maybe I didn't want to talk to him.
KRAMER: Well, why not?
JERRY: He bothers me. I don't even answer the phone anymore because of him. He's turned me into a screener. Now I gotta go see him on Wednesday.
GEORGE: What do you mean Wednesday? I though we had tickets to the Knick game Wednesday. We got seats behind the bench! What happened? We're not going?
JERRY: We're going. That's next Wednesday.
GEORGE: Oh. Who is this guy?
JERRY: His name is Joel Horneck. He lived like three houses down from me when I grew up. He had a Ping Pong table!! We were friends! Should I suffer the rest of my life because I like to play Ping Pong?! I was ten! I would've been friends with Stalin if he had a Ping Pong table!! He's so self-involved.
(phone rings, Kramer pulls his phone out of his pocket)
KRAMER: That's for me. (into phone) Kramerica Industries.. Oh, hi, Mark.. No, no, no. Forget that. I got a better idea. A pizza place where you make your own pie.
JERRY: Can you conduct your business elsewhere?
KRAMER: (ignoring Jerry) No, no, no. I'm talking about a whole chain of 'em. Yeah. (Kramer leaves Jerry's apartment while still on the phone.)
GEORGE: I don't know why you even bother with this ping pong guy, I'll tell you that.
JERRY: I don't bother with him. He's been calling me for seven years. I've never called him once! He's got the attention span of a five-year-old. Sometimes I sit there and I make up things just to see if he's paying attention.
GEORGE: I don't understand why you spend time with this guy.
JERRY: What can I do? Break up with him? Tell him "I Don't think we're right for each other.." He's a guy. At least with a woman, there's a precendent. You know, the relationship goes sour, you end it.
GEORGE: No, no, no,no you have to approach this as if he was a woman.
JERRY: Just break up with him?
GEORGE: Absolutely. You just tell him the truth.

Deep inside you're burning
You're raging as you live your life
This can't be all, this is a lie
So take my hand
The pain must end
Into the sky, if you believe we'll fly
Come on let's
Leave This World Behind
A prescious gift you once forgot
Is awakening this moment
If you believe it becomes real
This energy they could not kill
It gets so strong
We'll meet to one
Just spread your wings
Let loose and fly with me
Come on let's
Leave This World Behind
This misery must fade away
For us to see a better day
If that's all there is to choose
Let it loose right now

This energy they could not kill
It gets so strong
We'll meet to one
Just spread your wings
Let loose and fly with me
Come on let's
Leave This World Behind
This misery must fade away
For us to see a better day
If that's all there is to choose
Let it loose right now

Working Men
02-08-2007
"Most men like working on things, tools, objects, fixing things. This is what men enjoy doing.
Have you ever noticed a guy's out in his driveway working on something with tools, how all the other men in the neighborhood are magnetically drawn to this activity? They just come wandering out of the house like zombies. Men, it's true, men hear a drill, it's like a dog whistle. Just.. you know, they go running up to that living room curtain, "Honey, I think Jim's working on something over there."
Seinfeld

Just.. you know, they go running up to that living room curtain, "Honey, I think Jim's working on something over there."
So they run over to the guy. Now they don't actually help the guy. No, they just want to hang around the area where work is being done. That's what men want to do. We want to watch the guy, we want to talk to him, we want to ask him dumb questions. You know, "What are you using, the Philips head?"
You know, we feel involved. That's why when they have construction sites, they have to have those wood panel fences around it, that's just to keep the men out. They cut those little holes for us so we can see what the hell is going on. But if they don't cut those holes - we are climbing those fences. Right over there.
"What are you using the steel girders down there? Yeah, that'll hold.""Seinfeld

Deep
31-07-2007
Feel my heart burning
Deep inside yearning
I know it is coming
A fettered heart, waking...
A tainted youth, fading...
Leave it all behind
Delirious again
Mesmerise my senses
Our souls entwine one more time
All our times will come
Certain oblivion
Leaving nothing but the memories of
All the things you give
They´re all you´ll leave behind
Open laughter held in distant days
(how those) Eternal stars have changed
I know that it can't be the same
But there is no lament for you tonight
Feel my heart burning
Deep inside yearning
I know it is coming
And time recedes every day
You can scour your soul but you won´t see
As we pass ever on and away
Toward some blank infinity
Anathema
Feel my heart burning
Deep inside yearning
I know it is coming
A fettered heart, waking...
A tainted youth, fading...
Leave it all behind
Delirious again
Mesmerise my senses
Our souls entwine one more time
All our times will come
Certain oblivion
Leaving nothing but the memories of
All the things you give
They´re all you´ll leave behind
Open laughter held in distant days

GEORGE: A garden! I can't believe there's a garden!
JERRY: Would I have to get a gardner?
ELAINE: Yeah, you can get a gardner.
JERRY: You tip him?
ELAINE: You can.
GEORGE: [to Elaine] You don't tip a gardner!
ELAINE: You can tip a gardner.
GEORGE: You don't need a gardner.
ELAINE: Jerry, you can barbecue back here [points to garden].
JERRY: They deliver the coal?
ELAINE: Sure, it's...probably the same guy, who delivers the
wood.
JERRY: Oh, then I gotta tip him."

Year By Year

All my dreams are haunting me
Nothing seems to be for real
Can people change this world around
Can people change my life to come
It's been too many nights of fear
It's been too many days not clear
Can you believe a word they say
Can you control the righteous way
I even out my life
I even try to fight my
- War and peace
- Goin' round and round
- Year by year, am I the only one?!
So you think I'm doin' fine
Stealing things
That are not mine
Be careful what you do wish for
You end up losing even more
I even out my life
I even try to fight my

- Year by year, am I the only one?!

Feel bad for you, so sad for you
I'm so done with you, overcome all the
overnight sensations and my patience
creates my ghost, yeah my patience creates my
Many men have travelled far
To try it all over from the start
Who you are is what you get
There is nothing that you can reset
I even out my life
I even try to fight
You boys just can't resist
Resist what girls won't miss

In The Middle Of Nowhere
25-07-2007
I used to think that life's a game
Meant to play then fade away
And take the journey slow
To the twilight of my days
Now my thoughts are so alive
I'll die trying to turn back the hands of time
I'm not sure what I found
Broken free from the
Self-created problems inside
I never had a reason to want to carry on
Watch the night begin to fly
You see a strange light from within
Don't try to fight it when you're feeling lost
And drained completely
Because of where you've been
In the middle of nowhere
You sat and watched from underneath
All the weight of broken years
Then along the way the nights
Left you shaking ever near
To the end that you desired
When you lost the fire the line was very clear
And all the things that I've found
Melting away like the rain that never
Seems to stop I never had a reason to doubt
You would carry on
Watch the night begin to fly...
Never look back, understand
Don't fade away and let it slip from your hands
I don't know how to feel
I don't know how to deal
Bound and stripped of all I really know
Pieces of the afterthoughts
When you saw that all was lost
There's nowhere to go this time
Now you finally know the cost
I can't save you from your thoughts
In the middle of nowhere

Police Work Pt 2
24-07-2007
Seinfeld
"I got ripped off for about the...18th time? And now, the first couple a times you go through it, it's very upsetting and your first reaction or one of your friends will say: "Call the police. You really should call the police." So you think to yourself, ya know, you watch TV, you think:
"Yeah, I'm calling the police. Stakeouts, manhunts...I'm gonna see some real action." Right, you think that. So, the police come over to your house...they fill out: the report...they give you: your copy.
Now...unless they give the crook his copy, I don't really think we're gonna crack this case, do you?...It's not like Batman, where there's three crooks in the city and everybody pretty much knows, who they are. Very few crooks even go to the trouble to come up with a theme for their careers anymore. It makes them a lot tougher to spot.
"Did you lose a sony? It could be the Penguin...I think we can round him up, he's dressed like a PENGUIN! We can find him, he's a PENGUIN!"

Cat's foot iron claw
Neuro-surgeons scream for more
At paranoia's poison door.
Twenty first century schizoid man.
Blood rack barbed wire
Polititians' funeral pyre
Innocents raped with napalm fire
Twenty first century schizoid man.
Death seed blind man's greed
Poets' starving children bleed
Nothing he's got he really needs
Twenty first century schizoid man.

Nós Fora Nada

Numa palavra, mentir-lhe-ei. "
Cartas a Mónica - Paulo Ferreira
"Em três dias estará tudo terminado. Ainda não o sabemos, mas em setenta e duas horas o teu perfume desaparecerá do meu carro para dar lugar ao cheiro dos cigarros consumidos na pressa dos dias.
Sempre soubemos que esse dia chegaria um dia; soubemo-lo a tantos dias quantos os que agora faltam para tudo terminar. Os motivos, tantos, amontoam-se em caixotes na minha cabeça.
(...) Ambos olham-nos ao longe - Manel pensa que estará tudo bem entre nós, insisto para que não me largues a mão. Quero que pense que somos felizes como sempre lhe disse que éramos. É essa a ideia que sempre quis passar. Assim, daqui a três dias, sempre vou poder dizer que só não deu porque não tinha que dar. Que afinal talvez ainda não estivéssemos preparados para a perfeição um do outro.
Numa palavra, mentir-lhe-ei. "
