Let's all say it, HEY YA...
I wander the internet as I wander in life and find these pieces of truth from the collective wisdom of masses... It is funny how wise the masses can be at times...

Helmsman - Homem do leme
Navigating my thoughts away in the vastness of youtube songs, I had to share this one, a favorit of mine from time to time it reflects a lot of me, or what I think at times... The problem is it is in portuguese so here goes a shoot at translation hope you like it :)
Alone in the night
A ship sails where to?
A light in the dark shines straight
overshadows all others.
And more than a wave, more than a tide...
They tried to arrest him, impose him a faith...
But, drifting at ease, breaking the sorrow ("Saudade" does realy translate)...
goes the one that fears nothing any more, goes the helmsman...
And a will to laugh, is born for the deepest of our being...
And a will to go, depart and run across the world,
life is always lost...
In the depth of the sea
lie the others, the ones who remained there.
In grey days
eternal rest they found there.
And more than a wave, more than a tide...
They tried to arrest him, impose him a faith...
But, drifting at ease, breaking the sorrow ("Saudade" does realy translate)...
goes the one that fears nothing any more, goes the helmsman...
And a will to laugh, is born for the deepest of our being...
And a will to go, depart and run across the world,
life is always lost...
In the depth of the horizon
a murmur blow, where does it go?
In the depth of time
the future escapes, and it is too late...
And a will to laugh, is born for the deepest of our being...
And a will to go, depart and run across the world,
life is always lost...

Some food for thought...
Or thoughts as food... Here I am another day of soundtrack navigation and I must say I had a weird and very tangled path to get to where I am today... I see it crystal clear today, the funny thing is I could see the sliding doors moments when they where occurring which makes my life a mix of my decision and a set of circumstances, well so what? So is everybody else's... Today I will do one of those things that I love to do, which is to speak but not really say anything, and yet saying it all... I can see now as I could see then the impact of my decisions... I am a moral men, even though I play around and joke a lot about things, my decision have always been guided by a very strict moral code, funny enough I did do got it from anywhere in particular, it is unlike anyone else (or so I like to think, yes a bit arrogant I know) and yet it has forced me to make decision against my better judgement based on what I wanted at a given time... Time is funny, it does put things in perspective, not that I did not see the perspective of the impact of what I did then, but simply I could not see where I would be because of it... It is easy to see doors closing, things evolving when you know them... The hard part is to try and start from scratch new paths in life... It is the roads that are not yet built for you to take them... The real unknown... Funny I divert my words to get away from the point of the past and bring them to the point of the present... In fact I don't want to speak of the present, the past is so much more nostalgic and provides me such a weird feeling of comfort to accept who I am, a person that has brought me to where I am today... The moral compass for its good and bad has provided me with a path which has marked me deeply and provides me with memories of things, events and decisions that even though they are not shared, I know for me that I did what I should have and the rest was just circumstances which provided the filling of the blank possibilities...

Is blogging dieing?
I am again on one of my wondering music navigation nights, check my multiple emails, even the ones I never checked, and thought that I should write something, inicially I was on facebook, so I thought maybe I should do a status update ( for the first time ever :P ), and that got me thinking people are more concern with all their contacts that they care less and less for blogs, finding thoughts of people that you have to search for? I mean come on just check facebook, there is a world of thoughts, photos and gossip and of people you actually know :P
Well I am being ironic, I thought once of posting my blog on facebook, but they I wondered why? If someone would really want to know about me they would ask, or find the blog anyway...
I think the time for blogs as passed, it got somehow incorporated into social networks...
Today it is all about the network, who you know, not so much what you know, people can be as interesting or uninteresting as they want, but if more people press the "like" bottom well those are the thoughts that all will follow... Just another one of those thoughts I decided to share, have a good one...

Navigating the night away...
Today I feel unease, nostalgic, not exactly, it is just of those nights, tried to sleep... couldn't... One of those nights that in a film of your life requires a soundtrack, and guess what, it helps to navigate through youtube finding the next piece of the soundtrack. Not sure if it is just me, sometimes I like navigating youtube to think about life, the funny thing is today is less thoughts but more feelings. It is like I have the need to match my mood to songs, and yet there is no song pattern, it is like my spirit is all and nothing in one single moment... Not sure this makes much sense, but then again didn't start a blog to make any sense... Just another piece on the weird combination of topics on this blog...
The song at the moment is from my past Bush - Inflatable, at a given time of my life this song meant hope, actually hope at a time I felt hopeless, funny enough what started as a break with the past to look at a future, became a symbol of past destruction, something forever attached to one of those people I am sure I touched and who touched me, but yet is a mere memory of the past, a feeling that you get when you listen to songs that were soundtracks for episodes of your life... Episodes that define you, and yet seem to simply be there as a feeling not a real lesson learned kinda thing. At times like this I wonder if we are just what we feel and we find words and logic to justify simply that... And just like that the song has stop, time to navigate somewhere else...
Bryan Adams - Everything I do, well what to say for this one, from a time where I was learning what music was, were the lyrics started to make sense, when this concept of liking a girl came to past... The first kiss, the first heartbreak, my first girlfriend if you can call her that at a age of 11, and yet I did, and lived at the time thinking I felt the lyrics of this song... And yet, that is not really the case, but hey I was 11 give me a break... The memory of all of this under the most romantic umbrella and the first hint on how hard would be to find a match for such a moral kid, already full of himself and all knowledgeable about what relations should be and trust in these relationships. Long story short, she questioned my commitment because of a rumur started by a guy that liked her and I broke up with her on the spot, I know quite dramatic for an 11 year old, but I was kinda of a dreamer... Still am in many ways... And the song stop, time to navigate further and yet not sure I should share more...
Meredith Brooks - What would happen if we kissed, a song from a pivotal point in my life, mine and a couple of other people, a clear sliding doors moment, where I could see several paths in front of me... I wish I could say I made this choice completely alone, and in a way I did, but I have a clear notion that the slightest difference would have produced a different outcome... A time where I thought I knew what I wanted, and yet knew that it would destroy a lot of who I am... The simplicity of a kiss for others, has always had a different tool on me... I remembered this because I was a moral kid and I managed to remain a moral man regardless of circumstance... Despite of this not being clear for all in my life, but then again who is fishing for recognition... The guy with the blog... Well I only have a blog because this sort of thing would remain in past time only with me... And another song is pasted...
I will continue navigation but I am tired of writting for now... Not that anybody is listen... From me to the world, take care and catch you next time...

The forks in the road...
Life is funny at times, the things that you think are holding you back are simply excuses that you have to justify your inertia. The interesting thing is how much we hold back even without these excuses, we simply avoid thinking about it. The time to move on is at least for me clear, in the past it was clear and now it is again, and yet it gets harder and harder to actual perform changes. What we lived is like a weight that increases with time making change harder and harder, regardless of your overview...
