Em que acredito

I can believe that things are true and I can believe things that aren't true and I can believe things where nobody knows if they're true or not. I can believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny and Marilyn Monroe and the Beatles and Elvis and Mister Ed. Listen - I believe that people are perfectible, that knowledge is infinite, that the world is run by secret banking cartels and is visited by aliens on a regular basis, nice ones that look like wrinkledy lemurs and bad ones who mutilate cattle and want our water and our women. I believe that the future sucks and I believe that future rocks and I believe that one day White Buffalo Woman is going to come back and kick everyone's ass. I believe that all men are just overgrown boys with deep problems communicating and that the decline in good sex in America is coincident with the decline in drive-in movie theaters from state to state. I believe that all politicians are unprincipled crooks and I still believe that they are better than the alternative. I believe that California is going to sink into the sea when the big one comes, while Florida is going to dissolve into madness and alligators and toxic waste. I believe that antibacterial soap is destroying our resistance to dirt and disease so that one day we'll all be wiped out by the common cold like the Martians in War of the Worlds. I believe that the greatest poets of the last century were Edith Sitwell and Don Marquis, that jade is dried dragon sperm, and that thousands of years ago in a former life I was a one-armed Siberian shaman. I believe that mankind's destiny lies in the stars. I believe that candy really did taste better when I was a kid, that it's aerodynamically impossible for a bumblebee to fly, that light is a wave and a particle, that there's a cat in a box somewhere who's alive and dead at the same time (although if they don't ever open the box to feed it it'll eventually just be two different kinds of dead), and that there are stars in the universe billions of years older than the universe itself. I believe in a personal god who cares about me and worries and oversees everything I do. I believe in an impersonal god who set the universe in motion and went off to hang with her girlfriends and doesn't even know that I'm alive. I believe in an empty and godless universe of casual chaos, background noise, and sheer blind luck. I believe that anyone who says that sex is overrated just hasn't done it properly. I believe that anyone claims to know what's going on will lie about the little things too. I believe in absolute honesty and sensible social lies. I believe in a woman's right to choose, a baby's right to live, that while all human life is sacred there's nothing wrong with the death penalty if you can trust the legal system implicitly, and that no one but a moron would ever trust the legal system. I believe life is a game, that life is a cruel joke, and that life is what happens when you're alive and that you might as well lie back and enjoy it.

Declarações de Amor

Eu queria poder escrever apenas declarações de amor.

Arranjar emprego numa dessas fábricas de cartões e viver disso.

E aí, enfim, todos os meus textos terminariam com eu te amo.

Ajuda!

Alguém sabe onde eu encontro na internet esse clipe: "La Tour De Pise - Jean Francois Coen". Não vale falar "no eMule". Estava querendo em um youtube ou videogoogle da vida (ou similares). Alguém sabe? Alguém? Bueller?

X-Men 3 e o Orgulho

X-men: The Last Stand teve o melhor primeiro dia da história! Teve o quarto melhor fim de semana de estréia (também da história) e aniquilou O Código Da Vinci nas bilheterias. Sabe o que é pior? Isso me entristece. Não, não. Eu não estava torcendo pelo fracasso dos mutantes. Nem sou fã do livro do Dan Brown. Fico triste porque isso acaba com uma certa vaidade minha.

Sempre tive um orgulho meio besta de conseguir "sentir" o que o público quer. Tenho uma certa idéia de que séries vão fazer sucesso ou fracassar, que novela dá certo ou não, quem vai ser eliminado em um paredão do BBB e que filme vai dar muita bilheteria! Lógico que eu não faço nenhuma análise aprofundada ou qualquer coisa do gênero. É simplesmente um chute que, por sorte, mais de 50% das vezes dá certo.

Ei, não me olhem assim. Eu tinha que ter sorte em alguma coisa.

Pensando bem, podem olhar sim. Agora nem isso eu tenho mais. Eu tinha certeza absoluta que X-Men 3 seria um fracasso. Sinceramente. Bryan Singer abandonou o projeto, o roteiro parecia imbecil... Pra mim parecia claro como água. Droga! Decepção total.

Como já estou acabado mesmo, vou fazer uma última previsão: Superman Returns vai fazer sucesso, mas não será estrondoso. Ficará atrás de X-Men 3. Fará mais sucesso que Batman Begins, mas não muito.

Tá, essa foi uma aposta maluca. Nem eu acredito muito. Veremos.
