Last week, on the same day of my close encounter, I was reading an article on the newspaper on how scientists were able to erase parts of the memory of lab rats, making way for stories like in the movie Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind, to actually be possible. For those who didn’t see it, it tells the story of a couple that undergoes a procedure to erase the memories of their relationship so they wouldn’t suffer from their break up. That got me thinking about which memories I’d like to have erased.
Memories, besides lighting the corners of our minds, become a real part of us, like an organ, like a liver or a kidney. If someone takes you a kidney, you are able to live, but without a liver you’d die. Which memories, if erased, would still allow me to be my whole self and which would make my life unrecognisable? Which one’s would be keepers? Which memories would I «wash out of my hair»?
I believe that everything that happens to me in the course of my life has at least the purpose of teaching me a bit more about myself. I’ve learned to love and appreciate myself so there’s very little in my life that I’d have done differently, as I’ve come all this way to accept how I am with no regrets. Ok, I could have taken other decisions, could have chosen other ways but would those have led me to this good place I’m in today? On the other hand, as life repeats itself, when temptation is strong, do we really remember the regrets and act differently? Do we really live and learn or the taste for the risk conveniently erases our memories?
This week I was thinking of continuing with the other brothers from the TV series Brothers & Sisters but, when I was browsing photos of Balthazar Getty I spotted a photo of him with the hottie above: Mr. Scott Caan. I immediately thought to myself: “Forget the brothers, bring on the hunk!”. Isn’t he a tasty young peace of sin? woof woof!
Peace and much love

Well, tonight I went along with my dear SerCalvin to see the musical “Sinatra Blue Eyes” down at the Tivoli Theater. It was a nice show, low budget but nice. If you are in Lisbon this weekend, I recommend you taking some time to see the musical! Check out on “Sapo Videos” the video with an interview from the cast.
The video above is of one of my favorite Sinatra tunes - “Come Fly With Me” - sang by the delicious yummy Michael Bublé (video taken from the his live DVD).
Peace and much love
Today I had my hair cut! Today I had my new dining table delivered! Today I had a radio interview because I do funny cartoon voices for a living! Today I had a close encounter!
I left Praça and moved to Graça which has been quite funny so far! A new apartment, a new perspective in life. Changes are good especially when you really want them. Funny how the things you want to change the most are those that usually never do! For example: I had my hair cut because I needed a change, but after my haircut despite lighter in my head, I felt the same. I had my new dining table delivered but as I still don’t have chairs, very little changed. I was interviewed on the radio and it was funny, but my close encounter just after that, showed me nothing had changed!
Suddenly, as if time stopped and everyone around us was in suspended animation, the doors were open and there he was, in front of me. Many years had passed since we’d seen each-other. My heart accelerated, my hormones raging, my toffee melting inside my mouth. He smiled… I smiled… I started talking… (funny, I distinctly remember telling myself to shut up but I just couldn’t). Surely I had to tell a couple of my usual jokes, to remind him how funny it used to be.
Like a sand watch our moment wasn’t meant to last. Before saying goodbye he smiled and said: «Funny, you’re exactly the same. Call me and we’ll have lunch!» I just smiled and felt the pieces of my heart crash inside my chest as the doors were closing. Once again we were apart, like we were, a few moments ago.
How do we know it’s true? When people tell you «let’s have lunch», how do we know they mean it? Funny, how it ain’t so funny!
After the screenwriter’s strike, that caused my dear SerCalvin to stop his brilliant 1st Season of Thoughts - “O Sexo e a Praça” - on the 14th episode, he now returns with a brand new 2nd Season - “O Sexo e a Graça”!
To recap, here are the 14 episodes of the 1st Season:
So, coming right up, the 1st Episode of the 2nd Season of Thoughts by SerCalvin - “O Sexo e a Graça”! Enjoy and give my dear friend SerCalvin some love with your thoughtful comments!
Peace and much love
Tonight I finally got the chance to watch the movie Shelter - A gay-themed movie that portraits the story of a young man going though some life-altering decisions. I have to say it is definitely a beautiful movie - from the breathtaking cinematography to the story, not forgetting the involving soundtrack… bliss. This movie came in the perfect timing…
(Tori) You don’t belong to people forever…
(Zach) Then why bother?
(Tori) Isn’t it worth it?
(Zach) Yeah…
I’m not gonna show you the trailer (but you can see it on youtube). Instead I’ll post a video of the soundtrack single (an artist published by the same company that produced and distributed the movie). The video has some great footage from the movie and the music is beautiful…
Peace and much love
Due to popular request, this week I give on “Hot or Not” Mr. Dave Annable - the sexy/trashy/junkie brother from Brothers & Sisters.
I honestly don’t know if this lad is my cup of tea, but he has a cute face…
Hope ya’ll have a great week!
Peace and Love
