Dia da Restauração

Hoje pela primeira vez em 12 anos não me encontro em frente à Sé de Évora a esta hora para comemorar o dia 1 de Dezembro e o aniversário da Tuna do Liceu.
É o que acontece quando crescemos, amanhã tenho que trabalhar logo não podia ir lá, faz confusão que este dia seja apenas um dia mais no calendário. Já não estava habituada.
Tenho pena, mas são coisas que vêm com a idade….

“O Passado é como um rastilho….”

“O passado é como um rastilho…” escrevi eu num texto datado de 1992.Voltou a fazer sentido hoje, é engraçado como por quase nada se destapam feridas que temos bem arrumadas na última caixa guardada no vão do sótão.
Hoje aconteceu isso, um estúpido programa de televisão fez com que um reboliço voltasse a revolver-me o interior.
Os traumas são lixados, mesmo quando pensamos que já os ultrapassámos vem algo que nos faz relembrar que ainda estão presentes, apenas escondidos, como um rastilho mais tarde ou mais cedo chegam ao barril de pólvora e revolvem-nos as entranhas….
Será que alguma vez os conseguiremos simplesmente deitar no caixote do lixo da rua?

Música de fim de tarde…

Samantha Schultz – “I need to know”

Acerca dela própria Sam, de 18 anos, diz:

i am a germafina…or a cross between filipina (the female way to say that you’re filipino haha) and german. i listen to pretty much anything and everything, except hip-pop, really twangy country, and screaming death metal (maybe some 80s stuff…), and i’m really not all that fond of pop princess music. i’m a pretty mellow soul, but stick me with a bunch of my good friends, or super talented musicians, or any other awesome situation, and you’ll have yourself a pretty outgoing gal. i love to do things that any other person would love to do: movies, going to the mall, reading, doodling, volleyball, going out with friends, going to concerts of all sorts…tons more. and, i love to laugh…it’s good for you! my music is on the slower side, with the occasional song that tends to be different from the rest, but it’s always changing and always growing. i love it when people write their own music and/or songs. kudos to who ever can do that…it’s not easy, i definitely can say that from experience! i’ve met so many cool people in the few years i’ve been in the music biz. check out the slideshow of people on my page…there are some uber talented people on there! and did i mention? i am a proud endorser of dot on shaft guitars and l.r. baggs pick ups! check out the pic of me and the lovely acoustic in my pics! they’re also in my top friends so check them out!! music is such a huge part of my life, and i really don’t know what i would do without it…i know that i’d be really bored…definitely. haha… i’m friendly overall, and can be really shy depending if i’m first meeting someone or if i don’t know the person very well…so if i DO meet you, don’t sweat the awkward moments, haha!”
