Of course everyone can post about everything, but I´ve got my own limits. Apart from explicit content (no mather its origin), it can be social, racial, religious or sexual violence, there are a few more subjects I avoid: There are dozens of posts where parents claim that their kids are some kind of genius. Of course they…… Continue reading Things (so help me God) I will never post about
There is no right answer, but to me a good blog is a place I like to visit as its contents interest me. I don´t care if the blog has many or few visits, makes millions or zero, that´s another story. what is your opinion?
In a recent interview I had the privilege of having Fairen as my interviewer, and one of the questions was why I am a blogger. I said it was a way to share my thoughts, which is entirely true, but I´ve decided to “dive” more on the subject. In my Portuguese blog I have published…… Continue reading A Blog As Future Memory ?
I don´t know if that kind of actions are usual in other countries, here in Portugal they aren´t, so let me share something I found very interesting. In a joint initiative of the Library of São Lázaro and the Arroios parish council, more than 2500 books are being left by the Lisbon streets, a literary…… Continue reading A Great Idea
Being an artist is an endless, oft-thankless profession, one with an infinitesimally small chance of success! How many people paint a beautiful picture, only to have it sit forever on their living room wall or gather dust in their garage? How many writers complete a book, only to have it languish amidst MILLIONS of others…… Continue reading How Crazy Makes The World a Better Place
This is a post first published about a year ago, on the former edition of TMU. July has always been my favorite month. As a child, adolescent and adult now, it always meant to me holidays and the possibility of “being on my own”. I have several “July” friends, I only see them on this particular month and being…… Continue reading What Is Your Favourite Month ?
Wouldn‘t the world be beautiful if libraries were more important than banks?” – Quoting Joaquin Salvador Lavado Tejón (a.k.a. Quino – Born in Argentina, 1932). What´s your opinion? Note: This post was first published in my Portuguese blog, and then on former TMU (August 2015), but I guess It´s something to think about
It was one of my first posts for the former edition of TMU (May 2014) – Please allow me to share it again I have nothing against electronic publishing, and as someone who reads a lot, those new technologies are really helpful as they provide the access to all kinds of contents, just by “clicking”, but there…… Continue reading The Smell Of Paper
I´ve made some researches about your name and I´ve found very interesting things on Internet: This is a very rare name, according to the Social Security Administration there are only 13 persons born with this name in the US. Girls named Fairen are: Kind, home-loving, hospitable and friendly. Since they take responsibility well, they are…… Continue reading Fairen
While editing last week’s Monday Motivation, I received a bit of inspiration. If you need a refresher, here is the quote we published: How true have I found this to be! While at first glance it seems manipulative, the fundamentals are true. The times that I’ve gotten the most are the times when the two cornerstones…… Continue reading My Response to “How to Get Others to Co-operate”
Because I can is one possible answer, but it´s not the answer. Is it for Money? No,I write for free, of course some say “if no one pays for what you write is because what you write worths nothing”, but I disagree Is it for fame? No, I´m not famous and I´m not looking for fame. Is it…… Continue reading Why Do I Write?
The following post was written and published (November 2014) for the “first life” of TMU, and I think it´s interesting to republish it. Of course my figures are higher, but still very “short” for someone like me 😦 I admit it’s a hard question to answer but sky is the limit… I`ve started my private statistic a long time…… Continue reading How Many Books Can We Read, And How Many Movies Can We Watch During Our Lifetime?
