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)

Best video clips ever



Atomic Roads, Nuclear Sunrise

They Left Me All Alone
Falling Stars Exploding on The Sea
God it's Beautiful
The Land and The Roses Slowly Disappear
Why I'm So Alone?
A Wounded Angel Is Smiling to Me
God It's So Beautiful


################

Now, after the best, my "altogether list"

#60's
Bob Dylan - Subterranean Homesick Blues

#70's
Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights

#80's
Michael Jackson - Billy Jean
Cutting Crew - (I Just) Died in your Arms tonight
AHA - Take on me
Kate Bush - Army Dreamers
Belinda Carlisle - Heaven is a Place on Earth
Dead or Alive - You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)
Dire Straits - Money For Nothing
Miami Sound Machine - dr beat

On focus:
Jermaine Jackson & Pia Zadora - When the rain begins to fall (big focus becaus this one contains a lot of elements from this kind of 80's videos together in just one. The rival gangs, the exotic aesthetics, till that motorcycle dude the beat is strong and constant from the start to the end, and an silly history of a romance HYPER MEGA STRONG that will beat everything and everyone. If you had to reconstruct all the 80's videos from just one video, this could be the one to pick).

Duran Duran - Wild Boys

#90's
Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby
Radiohead - karma police

On focus:
Nirvana - Smells like teen spirit
Depeche Mode - Enjoy The Silence

#00's (zerothies)
Royksopp - Remind Me
Royksopp - What Else Is There?


On focus:
Vitalic - Poney Part 1 (I think are rare the videos that melt so well with music like this one, that means, I couldn't see this music connected with another video other than this one)

unofficial
Yann Tiersen - Comptine d'un autre ete : L'apres midi

movie soundtracks
Roy Orbison - In Dreams (Blue Velvet)
