HeadMusic #29 "Summertime"




Summertime, and the living is easy
Fish are jumping, and the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich, and your ma is good looking
So hush little baby, don't you cry.
One of these mornings, you're gonna rise up singing
You're gonna spread your wings and take the sky
But till that morning, there is nothing can harm you
With your daddy and mommy standing by



In wikipedia: A famous lullaby is "Summertime" from the Porgy and Bess musical of 1935. Sometimes it is also referred to as the Gershwin Lullaby.


Although many of the jazz improvizations of this song have "wild chromaticism", the original is quite soothing, and somewhat slow and melancholy, in natural minor. Gershwin was actually inspired to write the song after hearing a Ukrainian lullaby, Oi Khodyt Son Kolo Vikon (A Dream Passes by the Window) in 1926. The recurring gentle rocking back and forth between A-minor 6th and E-seventh, in the orchestral strings version, is simultaneously both sad and comforting. Additionally, many parents sing this song (unaccompanied) to their children, at bed time.

Amor Platónico - bebendo a novela Guerra e Paz


A arte de Amar a total absorçao de um momento real, fugaz no tempo fisico, num encontro, num olhar fixo, em algumas frases e muita escuta dos silêncios, dos pormenores dos olhares, do olhar, da cor do dia ou da noite, da expectativa ruminada desde o encontro anterior até este, pelos milhares de fotogramas que se produziram e fantasiaram na tua cabeça até se sobreporem ao que de facto foi.


É ir mais além da comunhao e da simplicidade. É partir para a criaçao de um idolo, de um Deus Sol ao qual se adora e é ao mesmo tempo é adorado.

Só esse superser te permite navegar dentro de ti e levar-te a criar e sentir o extase de toda a tua imaginaçao ou criaçao do Amor.


Alimenta-se do Passado Presente, ocupa todo o infinito espaço do coraçao, o qual palpita como que emitindo ondas que sejam apenas e só captadas pela antena desejada, escolhida, destinada. Da luz da alegria, da vida.

É um sentir-se vivo numa ilha em que sabes que estás só, mas que esperas que seja só até ao próximo encontro.

Nos entretantos vais ruminando... expectando, fantasiando, na dor, na alegria, num limbo situado algures entre o climax da tempestade e da bonanza.


Guerra e Paz

Num só momento, teu.

Conta-me Histórias daquilo que eu nao vi: Aurora Dream - Memories for the Future

your memories are getting back to you
are surrounding you
what do they
wish to tell you?
do they wish to give more consistency to your life?
Estou no meio da multidao
na minha antiga universidade
parece ser altura de inscriçao ou de exames finais
vejo se reconheço alguém
vejo o Y lá ao longe
a bater um coro a uma rapariga
parece que é para lhe sacar os apontamentos
está demasiado "in it" para lhe ir dizer "olá"
estou já na parte de cima da uni, onde era o bar do gordao
muita gente
de repente
vejo ppl a correr
caras conhecidas
what happened?
what happened?
vao jogar futebol
estao com pressa
pergunto onde é
indicam para alí
conheço um corta-mato
mas tenho de subir aí uma parede esburacada muito ingreme
vou por aí
esforço-me
estou mesmo no topo
quase quase
mas faltam-me as forças para o empurram final do tronco e pernas
os braços começam a ficar dorments
vejo-te ao longe
aproximas-te
dás-me a mao
e "pulllllllll"
parece q ou sou muito pesado ou ambos n temos força
acordo
e apercebo-me q tenho mesmo os braços dormentes
it´s 5:40am

Rolling Forecast - Really Rolling Rolling Rolling Rolling

Rolling Forecast Q2 - RF2 vs. RF1; RF2 vs. BGT; RF2 vs. LY
Never felt so workaholic.
The feeling of being feed by the flux of query/answers, by the deadlines, by the topics, by the priorities, by the coordination, by the group work, by the analysis, by the input by the output is estimulating but in a way puting you in a individualist world: your world and your world dramas, chalenges, victories and expectations.
 
Exausting but really really a source of learning what it is that hides being the figures and facts of reality and how to present it.
 
It was good, worth it, but not to do on a comum basis. It´s exausting.
 
That´s it for today, no more 9 to 9 for some time (I hope...)
 
Sending a kiss to a "housekeeper" also working hard in the return to the independent federal country of zee knodle mit sauce.
Have a gut Indenpence Day when it comes! Hope Soon!

Shrimpy

Seaside life is gut, especially in the summer.
With the sand, the rocks, the falesias and the interaction with atlantic sea wavy mood´s.
The smell of the sea and the seaside is incredible.

Well but with all this I forgot skin protection.
Today I feel like shrimp (not so bad as the one in the picture)...

The first real economic crisis of globalisation?

Bit by bit the panorama gets clearer an clearer on the papers for everybody that the "food crises" is not mainly due to climate change, but for geo-economics speculations and land production allocation incentives.

Here´s some quote of the news from http://www.guardian.co.uk/ about it.


Biofuels 'prime cause' of food crisis


Biofuels have forced global food prices up by 75% - far more than previously estimated - according to a confidential World Bank report (made by senior economist Don Mitchell).


The figure emphatically contradicts the US government's claims that plant-derived fuels contribute less than 3% to food-price rises.


Rising food prices have pushed 100m people worldwide below the poverty line, estimates the World Bank.


The news comes at a critical point in the world's negotiations on biofuels policy. Leaders of the G8 industrialised countries meet next week (July 08) in Hokkaido, Japan, where they will discuss the food crisis and come under intense lobbying from campaigners calling for a moratorium on the use of plant-derived fuels.


"Political leaders seem intent on suppressing and ignoring the strong evidence that biofuels are a major factor in recent food price rises," said Robert Bailey, policy adviser at Oxfam.


"Without the increase in biofuels, global wheat and maize stocks would not have declined appreciably and price increases due to other factors would have been moderate," says the report. The basket of food prices examined in the study rose by 140% between 2002 and this February.


The report estimates that higher energy and fertiliser prices accounted for an increase of only 15%, while biofuels have been responsible for a 75% jump over that period.


It argues that production of biofuels has distorted food markets in three main ways:


- First, it has diverted grain away from food for fuel, with over a third of US corn now used to produce ethanol and about half of vegetable oils in the EU going towards the production of biodiesel.


- Second, farmers have been encouraged to set land aside for biofuel production.


- Third, it has sparked financial speculation in grains, driving prices up higher.


Other reviews of the food crisis looked at it over a much longer period, or have not linked these three factors, and so arrived at smaller estimates of the impact from biofuels. But the report author, Don Mitchell, is a senior economist at the Bank and has done a detailed, month-by-month analysis of the surge in food prices, which allows much closer examination of the link between biofuels and food supply.


The report points out biofuels derived from sugarcane, which Brazil specializes in, have not had such a dramatic impact.
