Hagen, '06
























This is in Hagen, Germany. I went there Late November till early December last year. I was there with a friend to see some more friends. That was a much enjoyable trip. I really did have a lot of great times to remember. Like a friend have said: "... being a tourist without really being one..." Another reason I went there was to see how it would be like to live there. I went to Berlim and that was one of the most intense experiences in my life. I mean the history there is so alive, you can still feel it down to your bones!!! We took a picture where the wall used to be... First for me, but my friend does that every time she goes there... and even though a lot of time as gone by, you can still see and feel what it was like to grew up on each sides of the country... We also went to the Jewish Memorial... We didn't talk at all for next few hours...

Just to try to explain how intense that was and still is... Seeing all of images and videos is unbelievable...

We also went to Adlon Hotel where we had cappuccinos and hot chocolate awith this lovely biscuits, and good conversation... Yummieeeee ... The Einstein cafe, very hip, very cool. Everyone's that's someone goes there. Bill Clinton went there, just to name one, he had oj and play cards...

Well that's all for now because I gotta get going...

See you all bellos and bellas

GOODBYE, MY FRIENDS
By Art Buchwald

Tribune Media Services

Several of my friends have persuaded me to write this final column, which is something they claim I shouldn't leave without doing.

There comes a time when you start adding up all the pluses and minuses of your life. In my case I'd like to add up all the great tennis games I played and all of the great players I overcame with my now famous "lob." I will always believe that my tennis game was one of the greatest of all time. Even Kay Graham, who couldn't stand being on the other side of the net from me, in the end forgave me.

I can't cover all the subjects I want to in one final column, but I would just like to say what a great pleasure it has been knowing all of you and being a part of your lives. Each of you has, in your own way, contributed to my life.

Now, to get down to the business at hand, I have had many choices concerning how I wanted to go. Most of them are very civilized, particularly hospice care. A hospice makes it very easy for you when you decide to go.

What's interesting is that everybody has his or her own opinion as to how you should go out. All my loved ones became very upset because they thought I should brave it out -- which meant more dialysis.

But here is the most important thing: This has been my decision. And it's a healthy one.

The person who was the most supportive at the end was my doctor, Mike Newman. Members of my family, while they didn't want me to go, were supportive, too. But I'm putting it down on paper, so there should be no question the decision was mine.

I chose to spend my final days in a hospice because it sounded like the most painless way to go, and you don't have to take a lot of stuff with you.

For some reason my mind keeps turning to food. I know I have not eaten all the eclairs I always wanted. In recent months, I have found it hard to go past the Cheesecake Factory without at least having one profiterole and a banana split.

I know it's a rather silly thing at this stage of the game to spend so much time on food. But then again, as life went on and there were fewer and fewer things I could eat, I am now punishing myself for having passed up so many good things earlier in the trip.

I think of a song lyric, "What's it all about, Alfie?" I don't know how well I've done while I was here, but I'd like to think some of my printed works will persevere -- at least for three years.

I know it's very egocentric to believe that someone is put on earth for a reason. In my case, I like to think I was. And after this column appears in the paper following my passing, I would like to think it will either wind up on a cereal box top or be repeated every Thanksgiving Day.

So, "What's it all about, Alfie?" is my way of saying goodbye.

John Mayer & Grey's Anatomy



A última (da TV Land) que nos chega dos EUA: Um actor da série, que ganhou esta semana uns globos de ouro, ou um, não me lembro!! Bem o que se passou foi o seguinte: à uns meses atrás o actor Isaiah Washington "fez" o comentário a um outro colega, o Dr. McDreamy (aiii que médico, se fosse meu andava sempre doente...), bem não vou divagar, o suposto comentário era sobre um outro colega ser, ou não ser, homossexual... Cá para mim joga nas duas equipas ;oP Não me lembro do nome da personagem, mas o actor é T.R. qualquer coisa

A série não precisa de publicidade, portanto resta a crer que foram os lobbies do gays e das lésbicas que provocaram esta polémica toda!! O que eu vos digo é: Get over it. Já têm os direitos todos que os hetero têm, quase todos, menos casar e ter filhos, pelo menos nalgumas partes do mundo!!!

Em relação a fotografia que publiquei hoje: é o John Mayer

Foi tirada por mim, duhhh.... Em Nova Iorque, no teatro Beacon... Hmmmm lindo. Muito semelhante ao nosso Coliseu do Porto, mas mais bem tratado. Ao ver o Beacon não pude deixar de pensar de como seria o nosso Coliseu se fosse totalmente e completamente restaurado...

Foi uma das noites mais fantásticas da minha vida (não quero saber se tem erro gramatical, foi mesmo!!), ele estava em fogo e quando cantou "Covered in Rain" fiquei num estado catatónico!! ainda bem que tinha a minha sony e gravei!!! Assim como com "Gravity" e "Good Love is on the way"...

Beijocas e pipocas bellos e bellas

PS: Hj nao me apetece escrever em inglês!! Talvez mais logo...
