O Povo Unido

Palavras para que? Desde que soube do resultado do concurso "Grandes Portugueses" que andava com vontade de fazer um post a arrear no povo portugues, ou pelo menos nos portugueses que votaram no Salazar como o Grande Portugues da nossa Historia. Mas, como sempre, o Gato Fedorento adiantou-se, rapido no gatilho. Por isso limito-me a deixar aqui o video de Fernando Tordo a cantar uma versao mais congruente com a presente realidade lusa do "Portugal ressuscitado".

E aproveito para relembrar uma das mais bonitas Cancoes Heroicas de Fernando Lopes-Graca: "Acordai". Diz assim o primeiro verso:

Acordai, homens que dormis...

La vie en rose

Everything seems wonderful when you're about to leave for Paris to meet the people you love the most. And that's what I'm about to do! I'm curious to see Paris for the second time in my life. The first was when I was 15 and my mom had a work meeting there. We all went with her, my father, me and my sister. This was my first trip abroad, and I saved every memory in a small white envelope. The metro tickets, receipts from the Galleries LaFayette. In the pictures I look as happy as my pessimistic 15 year old self could ever feel, which is to say a lot. For once I saw la vie en rose, and discovered that traveling can really change you inside.

I hope this long Easter weekend brings a pink view of life for everyone. We need it, from time to time. Enjoy the sunshine, everyone.
