Sometimes Vampires Suck. Sometimes they say Let Me In. They never shine, they never walk in daylight and definitively they don't procreate, like they did in the last Twilight Saga series Part One, beside that. So, there will be a part two as well. It is not amazing how such a non-film can be pushed out to this amazing kind of success. The Moneymakers play with the already brainwashed kids of our times and transform every nonsense into a great source of wealth, in the detriment of culture, of … [Read more...]

Brazil, How?
“The monetary system of a people reflects everything that the nation wants, does, suffers, is.” Joseph Schumpeter It's astonishing how a country with a record debt to IMF at a moment in time, quite recent, not a century ago, can become the seventh economy in the world, with the prospect to overtake Britain by becoming the sixth largest economy in the world in 2012. Now, I read in various economy magazines that the established civilized world may be afraid of the exotic emergence of four … [Read more...]
Life is Beautiful!
I found this, checking some of my Twitter friends. I was impressed. Recently I had also an idea exchange with another good friend about the subject. This short post is actually dedicated to all mothers in distress, :(. [source: 1x.com] "It was not the end of the world. It was not a death sentence. It was a much deserved beginning." I can not remember the exact date when I got his diagnosis. I sat in the cold office, in an unusually clear day, in Hawaii. Will sat in the waiting room … [Read more...]
Steve Jobs – In Memoriam
This will be a short post. When I saw a photoblog, with Steve Jobs' picture, and a caption saying "Apple's Steve Jobs 1955 - 2011", I was sure it was a bad joke. A lot of people in the business world didn't have Jobs on their favorites list. I think it was October 6. I'm not a Television News viewer, actually I always considered the mainstream "news" pure and naughty brainwashing. This is actually, a very short blog post. I wasn't a great admirer of Steve Jobs. I'm sorry he passed away, I'm … [Read more...]
Bukowski in Hollywood
"That's the problem with drinking, I thought, as I poured myself a drink. If something bad happens you drink in an attempt to forget; if something good happens you drink in order to celebrate; and if nothing happens you drink to make something happen." - Charles Bukowski (Women) Drinking is a problem. Not for those who drink, though. I'm not a fan of the great Bukowski, but I do appreciate him a lot, so I'm about to write about two movies based on his work. One of them is Barfly, with … [Read more...]
Deeper into “Somali Pirates” issue
I have promised to write more about this hot subject, hot for me, hot for people risking their lives passing the Red Sea into the Gulf of Aden. I think I'll double the posting, and what I'm writing here, now, will be re-posted on my other site, The Yacht Owner, which is brand new in this form, on a Genesis Wordpress platform, the same I wish you all, :). What I'm going to say here, is backed by BBC, AFP, Times Magazine and of course, the insider, Clay Maitland, Chairman of NAMEPA, and … [Read more...]
