(Caio Fernando Abreu)

“The act of leaning in to kiss someone, or asking to kiss them, is fraught with the possibility of rejection, so the person least likely to get rejected should do the leaning in or the asking. And that person, at least in high school heterosexual relationships, is definitely the girl. Think about it: boys basically, want to kiss girls. Guys want to make out. Always. Hassan aside, there’s rarely a time when a boy is thinking, “Eh, I think I’d rather not kiss a girl today.” Maybe if a guy is actually, literally on fire, he won’t be thinking about hooking up. But that’s about it. Whereas girls are very fickle about the business of kissing. Sometimes they want to make out; sometimes they don’t. They’re an impenetrable fortress of unknowability, really. Ergo: girls should always make the first move, because (a) they are, on the whole, less likely to be rejected than guys, and (b) that way, girls will never get kissed unless they want to be kissed.”

Some are running scared.. some are coming home.

Some tell lies to make it through the day.. others are just now facing the truth.

Some are evil men at war with good, and some are good.. struggling with evil.

Porque eu gosto dos meus amores assim, intocáveis, platônicos e cercados de uma boa dose de imaginação.

Ensinou-nos muito mais do que devíamos aprender, mas nos ensinou, sobretudo, que nenhum lugar da vida é mais triste que uma cama vazia. (Gabriel García Márquez)

“The path has never seemed more slow, and yet I fear I am nearing its end. Reason tells me that you and I are unlikely to meet again, but I think I shall not listen to reason.

I have seen the world inside your head and know that all things are possible.

Hurry though, my love: my days grow shorter now, and I am so very weak.

Godspeed, my lonely angel.”

(Memória de minhas putas tristes – Gabriel García Márquez)

Tudo isso tem 2 motivos:

1. As coisas que eu prometo pra mim, todo início de ano, eu nunca cumpro. Foi assim com a academia, foi assim com o regime, foi assim com poupar dinheiro… enfim, é sempre assim.

2. As coisas que eu acho que vão chegar até mim, nunca chegam.

Sendo assim, esse ano eu não prometo nada.

Afinal, a principal lição que fica de 2009 é que sonhar é o primeiro passo pra se desiludir.

E que venha 2010, porque esse 2009 foi mesmo um pé no saco.
