To Play my part


« Deslumbrante e tremendo quão velozmente me mataria o amanhecer,
Se eu não pudesse, agora e sempre, oferecer ao mundo o amanhecer de mim.

Nós também nos elevamos deslumbrantes e tremendos como o sol,
Descobrimos o nosso próprio Ser, ó alma minha, no meio da calma e da
frescura do dia que vem.

A minha voz persegue o que os meus olhos não alcançam,
Com a minha língua rodeio mundos e mundos.

O meu discurso é gémeo da minha visão, incapaz de se medir a si próprio,
Provoca-me sempre, e sarcasticamente diz:
Walt, se conténs tanto, porque é que não lhe dás saída? »

Japanese Commercials

Remember that scene from "Lost in Translation" when Bill Murray makes a commercial? Ever wonder how must be japanese commercials with occidental celebrities? Don't wonder any more my friend - the answer is Japander. Here you can watch to a big "collection" of tv japanese commercials staring occidental celebrities and laugh, until your eyeballs explode and your brain melts, with the most silly and weird ads. There you'll find: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Whoppie Goldberg, David and Victoria Beckham, George Lucas, Eddie Murphy etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc.

ENJOY! :)

Desktop

One of the things i like to do in my computer - personalize it! Well, I just like to transform XP's aspect. So this is how my desktop is like right now:

I actually have things written on those post-it but I erased them :P - hey! you don't want to know how's my life right now- believe me...

If you think those virtual post-it can be useful to you (and they are) you can catch them at: POST-IT - there’s a free version (freeware) available that only includes the yellow notes with no special effects :P

The clock i got it from... I don't remember! I think it was from Tucows! Its called "ClocX" and its also freeware - you can choose from different colors and frames or include one made by yourself. It also has a Calendar and Alarms (to show a message, play a sound, execute a program or shut down the computer).

For the icons bar I use a program called ObjectDock (also available in freeware). The icons really magnify with a really smooth animation (has some options) when the mouse goes over them. You can get it in Stardock.
The program comes with hi-res icons gallery, but if you want different ones you can get some at Iconfactory, they have some cool icons. Remember they have to be hi-res (png icons) so they don’t pixelize when magnified.

Finally, the background was made by a young artist: Andrew. I really like his work. His portfolio in LifeAllows.

Be cool !!
