A story that could be true

A STORY THAT COULD BE TRUE
by William Stafford

If you were exchanged in the cradle and
your real mother died
without ever telling the story
then no one knows your name,
and somewhere in the world
your father is lost and needs you
but you are far away.

He can never find
how true you are, how ready.
when the great wind comes
and the robberies of the rain
you stand in some corner shivering.
The people who go by-
you wonder at their calm.

They miss the whisper that runs
any day in your mind,
"Who are you really wanderer?"-
and the answer you have to give
no matter how dark and cold
the world around you is:
"Maybe I'm a king."
"Maybe I'm a queen."


Oh well, just started to see another series and took this poem from it. This one is called "The Riches" and it's about a poor family that by accident starts to live the life of a rich couple. The thing is that so far (and I've only seen one episode) it looks reeeealy nice. The cast acts well, the story it's not cheesy and the soundtrack is great! Maybe I'll make a review of it later.

If you liked Weeds, then I guess you would also like this one.

The sweet geekness, The IT Crowd

Hello there! Just seen this British series, always seeking for something like The Office, but I guess you only see something like that in a life time, what was I talking about?, oh the series I've seen... it's called The IT Crowd, in a short review I can say that it's passed in an IT department and it takes out and juices the sweet side of geekness (yup, there is one). Don't expect a television version of xkcd! That (I guess) wouldn't be very popular in a large audience. But you can expect a nice friendly series, and here are some of the jokes, which I've liked.



Jen: What are you laughing at?
Moss: This flipping circuit board, Jen,
Moss: Some chump has run the data line right through the power supply.
Moss: Amateur hour!
Moss: I've got tears in my eyes.

Even If my short review didn't startled your appetite's give it a taste at youtube's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEqw9o62ncQ

PS: I really hate recorded laughs in comedy, that was the major turn down

Adeus! (bye in Portuguese)

Big fan of comedy

I'm a big fan of comedy, someday later I'll make a list of the best one's. But for now I just would like to draw your attention towards this serie called "Flight of the Conchords". It's also a parody around music. Two New Zealanders in New York trying to make their way with their band.


If you liked "The Office" UK version this also has that silent kind of humor and an incompetent boss or in this case manager.

Not conviced?
Rachel Blanchard in episode one and some other babes! :P

Hope you enjoy comedy, and if you do I'm almost sure you'll enjoy this one!
Cheers!
