Na cabeça: John Doe - "dim stars, bright sky..."

Momento horóscopo!
"Good news is coming out of the woodwork today -- for you, your family and your friends. There are new arrivals, happy announcements and a few romantic developments coming together. You'll have a hand in delivering some good news, so soak up the positive energy -- store it away for a rainy day. You're slowly understanding your current situation for what it really is, which is a good thing. You have nothing to worry about right now. Things may be quiet, but they're good."

Yeah, things have been very quiet... Mas eu estava pensando hoje de manhã que, caramba!, já é meio de Julho?!? Wow, o ano tem voado ainda mais do que o normal... The days run away like wild horses over the hills... E como ontem teve Factotum (não para mim, mas mesmo assim ainda não parei de pensar no filme), fica um pouco de Bukowski aqui, Roll the Dice, do livro que tem o meu título favorito What Matters Most Is How Well You Walk Through the Fire:

If you're going to try, go all the way.
Otherwise don't even start.
This could mean losing girlfriends,
wives,
relatives,
jobs.
And maybe your mind.

It could mean not eating for three or four days.
It could mean freezing on a park bench.
It could mean jail.
It could mean derision.

It could mean mockery,
isolation.
Isolation is the gift.
All the others are a test
of your endurance.
Of how much you really want to do it.

And you'll do it,
despite rejection in the worst odds.
And it will be better than anything else you can imagine.
If you're going to try, go all the way.
There is no other feeling like that.
You will be alone with the gods.
And the nights will flame with fire.
You will ride life straight to perfect laughter.
It's the only good fight there is.
