This is the new rant

What's about to happen is all related to the fact that I'm most certainly going to end up old and alone without having meet someone about whom I can say "Gee, that guy/gal really knew me well.."
All my life I've been labeled as the "quiet guy"...always up in his little world of fantasies, never saying a word to anyone....just a silly little boy that hasn't got a clue of what's what. Because of that, the only "compliment" I manage to squeeze out of members of the opposite sex is "You're a really mysterious person...no one knows what you're thinking!" and then they smile in a way that makes me believe they truly believe they're giving me a good reason to be happy.
Why should I feel good about being mysterious? What exactly do I have to gain from it? Actually, I know how being mysterious strikes some people as being interesting but I honestly fail to grasp what good that brings me...

Being a shy/introverted guy, who would rather tear my own eyes out (sorry about the bloody detail) than to show the slightest hint of emotions, gaining the confidence to openly talk with someone, and let them meet the real me, is something that I can only do after spending some time with that person. But that's the problem! No one, anywhere, has the patience to actually get to know me. It's all talk, talk, talk...The statement "People are drawn to you because of your mysterious nature...they feel the desire to find out more about you!" is nothing more than bullshit.
I can't say I blame them though. I'd probably do the same thing.

Another thing that bothers me a little bit is when someone says I'm always calm and cool about everything, like, completely stress-proof. I'm not good at dealing with stress, at least not better than most people, and I probably worry about the most silly things...What I'm good at, very good at that, is bottling everything deep inside and pretend that everything is OK when it's not. So you can probably guess why it pisses me off to see pissing little ingrates messing up their relationships because of some stupid reason they were able to conjure in their minds and they never really realize how lucky they are to have someone who cares. Meanwhile I'm left here, writing in this stupid blog that no one reads, wallowing in self pity, dealing with all this shit by myself.

So that's why I'm probably going to end up and old-bitter-pessimistic man, alone and forgotten by most people. At least I'll take some solace in knowing the few that do remember me, will have good memories to think about... And don't you dare say the usually "You'll meet the right girl someday, You just have to wait." crap. It will do me a lot of good to be in my 80's and thinking "I can finnaly start a family. I'm sure well be very happy!" :|
This concludes the rant.

Trends

I've never been one to follow trends. The more I think about it the more I think it’s a bunch of people wanting to be different so they can spend the rest of their life complaining how no one understands them.
We've all heard of the most famous trends. Ye know, goths, emos, etc...But what many people don't know is that there are many other trends. Let me explain some of the other less known trends that I see kids getting into these days:

You loose you virginity at the age of 10, have your first child/abortion when you're 15 - 17 (some people like to wait), get married at 20, get a divorce at 22 and live the rest of your life as single parents working in some fast food restaurant or robbing/killing people for money.

You develop a mental disorder at the age of 13, because you think you're old enough to do it, spend the next ten years coming in and out of depression and overdosing in anti-depressants, keep complaining how nobody likes you (gee, I wonder why...) and then you eventually kill yourself.

If you’re a guy, fuck everything that walks and then tell your friends about it like it's some sort of huge achievement or like you're some kind of hero to every man that ever lived. Because, as it seems, the value of your life is based on the number of chicks you've abused and screwed over and over. (You fucked who? Yey, when will the parade start?...)

If your a woman, do everything in your powers to be popular at high school, putting yourself in some kind of pedestal like you're better everyone else, and treat everyone like crap. And again, sleep with as many guys as you can, getting pissed when someone calls you a stupid cheap spoiled whore.

...

I'm sure there’s more but I can't remember right now.
If you're not one to follow trends, then good for you.

I tune my guitar 2 steps down...because I can...

Hoje encontro-me particularmente melancólico...Posso-o dizer após ter passado a última meia hora deitado na cama com a minha guitarra sobre o corpo, a tocar mi's continuamente.
Tomei a liberdade de afinar a guitarra dois tons abaixo do normal, portanto os meus mi's são particularmente graves e melancólicos.

Concerning Religion...

"True religion is real living; living with all one's soul, with all one's goodness and righteousness."

Albert Einstein

If a catholic was to ask me "Are you a fellow Christian as myself?"
If a Muslim was to ask me "Are you a fellow Muslim as myself?"
If a Hindu was to ask me "Are you a fellow Hindu as myself?"

To all of those questions I'd have to answer "No, my fellow human creatures, I am not."

If a catholic was to ask me "Do you believe in God?"
If a Muslim was to ask me "Do you believe in Ala?"
If a Hindu was to ask me "Do you believe in Buddha?"

"I most certainly do."

Confused?
To everyone who's spent a second or two of his/her life wondering about the true meaning behind the subject of religion, I'm sure you've all come to the conclusion that despite each and every difference, all religions find foundations in a single soil: a supernatural entity that created and rules over everything that has come into existence since the beginning of times.
Well, I'm not different, therefore I too though about it and I too have come to the same conclusion: people do not follow a god that suits them but rather a religion that suits them. For me all religions are meaningless. They all talk about the same things only in different words. There's a 'heaven' and there's a 'hell'. Be good all you're life and live it according to what our books tell you to or you'll burn for all eternity...
If someone said that to my face I'd simply walk way for I'm not to be threatened or told how to live my life by someone that does not know me well enough to make such assumptions.

Being my knowledge of the world, of science, of life limited, I cannot go as far as I desired. We exist because we have a planet to inhabit, we have a planet to inhabit because of the Big Bang that created the universe,...then what? Another universe before ours? Nothing at all? Theories and more theories are all that we have. Therefore, the deus ex machina of this puzzle of mine must be, for the time being, and inexplicable entity.
I have no name to call it. Some people call it "God", some people call it "Ala"...maybe love, maybe Nature...But to me a name will not matter. Call it what you want because to me it doesn't matter.

Religion is just an excuse. An excuse to the downright irresponsibility of some and the downright greed of others. People get killed everyday in the name of religion and people get alienated and suffer on behalf of those beliefs.
It's quite hypocrite if you ask me. Every religious person spends great amounts of time praying to their god, assumingly. But if one of them was to kill another, and justify his actions by saying that "God" ordered him to do it, nobody would believe him. He'd be sent to jail and forgotten.
So, if I understand correctly, you try to talk with your god, but cannot believe that that same god will be able to talk to you? How's that for an interesting conversation?
But please do not misunderstand what I'm saying. I find every person that say he/she can hear God talking to be nothing but a loony.

All in all, people can and should believe in what ever the hell they wish to believe. Let's not question, criticize, analyze, quantify or described what cannot and should not.
Let's all just live our lives and let's all be righteous. Einstein knew it, and so should you.

Químicas Aplicadas

Ao que parece, este ano, os alunos do secundário voltaram a provar que não há química (nem física) no meio deste fenómeno dos exames nacionais.

Dêem-lhes mais uns computadores e-escola para afogar as mágoas. Certamente que precisam muito deles...
