A vida paralela dos sonhos

Já se perguntaram se a vida que vivem é um sonho e o sonho em que adormecem é a vida que dura?
Duas realidades paralelamente distintas e simultaneamente intersectadas.  Cada só no seu destino mas nunca se despegando dos percalços da outra.
Eu sempre sonhei mais do que vivi. Tristemente aos sonhos sempre achei mais graça.
De dia, de noite, de pé, deitada. Sempre conheci mais do mundo dos sonhos do que a realidade dos vivos.

Ouve-se falar em sonhos ligados a coisas e à concretização de desejos tanto conscientes quanto inconscientes. Eu, em contrapartida, sempre sonhei com momentos, que embora de términos felizes ou infelizes, sempre caracterizaram atos de bravura incontestável, deleito vagaroso e contentamento incomparável.

Sonhei que vivi a vida que não vivi. De dia feliz. De noite apavorada.
"É tudo uma questão de controlo", dizem eles. Eu digo-te que eles poucos sabem.

No momento em que o sonho vira a realidade, o controlo converte-se no acaso.
A sorte é jogada na mesa e se de cara bendita fores, coroa não chorarás.
E se em vez de estar a sonhar este tempo todo, vivi a vida que sempre sonhei?

an unfortunate story.

I never meant to be this way. I believe you never meant to be the way you are too. Is it your fault? Is it my fault? I don't know. It wasn't by accident, for sure.
We're the result of what the world has given and taken away from us and following that same thought, I was pretty lucky. I received more than lost. You, on the other hand, you've suffered more... way too much for the kid you were, in fact. It wasn't by chance you became the way you are. They made you that way.

You know... it's funny when you look back. I was so complete. So united in my own self and then you came along as haughty as ever. You've looked me with the blind eyes you don't possess and the soft hands you wish you'd have. In that very moment I realised I was about lose everything I had, everything I was and everything I wanted. Feeling unbalanced on my own feet and closing myself to my own darkness.
Don't you ever dare saying I simply walked away. I had to. You spoiled my happiness. You spoiled my sense of purpose. What more could I have done but walk?
You don't like me this way: needy, whiner, jealous. I don't like to have you that way: far, uncommitted, unattached.
So now here I stand and there you stand.
Filling another page of the unfortunate story of humanity.

I wanna tell you
How much
I love you

When the truth is....I miss you.

Eu sou um ser extremamente carente e a culpa é tua.
Foste tu que me tornaste assim... tão carente.
Mimaste-me. Oh, como mimaste-me tu.
Como pude não viciar-me em ti? Responde-me. Como pude não viciar-me em ti?
Como pude não habituar-me à tua essência e deliciar-me da energia vital que trazias?

Tu, um ser completo. De tudo um pouco. De tudo um nada.
Eu, um ser tranvestido. Incompleto por natureza. Reduzido pelo vida.
Que viste tu em mim?
Perguntei-te tantas vezes. Que viste tu em mim?
Respondeste-me outrora que fora o brilho incessante que a lua tinha vista dos meus olhos. Tão brilhante quanto sol. Tão grandiosa quanto o mar.
Mentiste-me.
Eu já não vejo a lua há muitos sóis.

Quem tem te deu o direito de arrebatares a  minha alma e de te contentares do meu fraco ser?
Esperavas que te deixasse escapar impune, de rompante, sem um pesar de olhos?
Conheces-me mal.

Como eras tu belo. Uma alegria para os olhos de uma pobre plebeia.
O meu ponto de encontro. O meu oposto feliz.
Era suposto ser um final feliz. Eu e tu. Tu e eu.
Mas tu morreste-me e eu desvaneço cada dia mais.

To my friends.

I wanted to devote a post to my friends. Not any or a friend in particular but all and each of them because all of them, on their own way, have added sugar, love and energy to my days and without their worth-listening teachings/advices, I don't know how I would have coped with some difficult situations of my life. So, dear friends, this is for you. I love you all, very much.
It wouldn't be fair if I didn't kick off this post by highlighting my oldest, weirdest friend of all times and ever since I've known myself as a person - my older sister: Kika. It's obvious that we share a deeper connection because we've always been together and been through the same stuff. And it is also obvious that the bonds of sisterhood are fed by tons of love we feel for each other. But it doesn't end here because we, above all are friends. I've never been able to hide anything from her and that sucks. Truly sucks because sometimes, as any other person, I just want to keep stuff to myself and I can't. She has this 'I-know-what-you-are-thinking' look that always disarms me. She is really sincere and has really strong opinions on everything and everyone. Thereby I'm always really afraid of telling her sttuff because I know how crucial her opinion is to me. She's not one to judge people but if she doesn't like you, for a strong reason, you will be able to tell because she will tell you, on your face, anywhere, anytime. She's really that kind of person and everyone, including me, loves her for that. I know she will never lie to me, not even to make me happy. And I undoubedtely treasure that honesty. So, that is what she has taught me my entire life, bloggers - to not be afraid of being myself and to always choose truth over anything and regardless of any consequences that may come with it.
Moving on to my best friend. People ask me several times questions such as:
1. How can you be best friends with a guy?
2. Don't you feel uncomfortable telling him some personal things?
3. Have your friendship with him never developed or went in a more romantic path? It happens to everyone.
Well, to all of these questions and depending on who's asking, I usually reply with "he's a great guy and we get along very well, so it is quite easy to be best friends with him" to the people I know and like and to everyone else, I just send my "it's-none-of-your-business" look.
If you're a follower, you may have noticed already but my latest post, back on Aug 28th was about him. So if you're interested, you might want to have a quick look at it: http://mk-galhardo.blogspot.pt/2013/08/to-my-person.html to see how important he is to me and how deep our connection is today.
He also taught me a lot as my sister. Not only knowledgeable stuff (he's really bright) mostly confidence. He isn't confident all the time and I know that because I know him. But whenever he's put in a evaluation, whatever it is, you will see his confidence sparkling. You will see him aware of his value as a person and  projecting his magnificient potential on whatever he's doing. And I truly envy him for that. He's a role model for me and I really love him and I don't think I can quite say it enough times.
Oh, there's one thing that annoys me truly about him and it isn't really his fault. It's the fact that he's handsome and has always desperate ladies sniffing around him. I mean, I don't mind. I want him to be happy, above all but I honestly think he should pick one and stick with her ;)
I'm finishing up this post by talking about my longest friendship after the one I have with my sister. My one, only and loveliest friend Nini. Oh gosh, I've met Nini when I was only 10 years old and we have been friends ever since. It has been almost 10 years of crazy friendship, can you believe that? We were kids back then!
I still miss that time. Anywho, today, we're the kind of friends who don't need to talk to or see each everyday. I like it because it has come to really solid stage where we just cherish and support each other no  matter what, where or when. And whenever we have the opportunity to be together, it seems like we have never stopped talking or seeing each other. Like the old times. Sisters from different mothers, as we used to say.

I have more friends, happily. But I wanted to underline this top three because they're my family and a blessing I have God to thank to.

Love always,
Tommy

PS. I have a lot of stuff coming up so make sure you stay tuned!

28th. To my person.

Hello world! From the outset, I'd like to provide a plausible reason for my absense: I've been feeling incredibly lazy and my laptop isn't working very well, you know...
Yes, yes, I know, those don't sound very good reasons but they're all I got, so take them! :P
Anywho, dear bloggers, I want to devote this post to my very best friend on this very special day for him and myself.
Our relationship is indescribable. It's hard to understand both for me and him and as lately looks like, for everybody else outside of our magic duo while looking at us too. But that doesn't matter because All I care is what I feel for him and what I think he feels as well for me. And so far it feels good. Really good to be friends with this particular guy.
He's NO random guy. He's so bright but so incredibly bright that I ask myself several times, how come did he become friends in the first place. He's also very handsome and he's aware of that, fact which can be a little annoying to deal with. He's funny and hard-working and very focused once he establishes a goal. He's a good person, a really good person and has been a great companion for all these years.
No, Nooo bloggers. He isn't perfect. Sometimes, he's unpleasently stubborn and arrogant. He has this haughty personality which can be both very attractive and irritanting. However his very worst feature is his uncapability of making his mind on something he desires; which is a shame since he's the type of person who once makes his mind on pursuing something he loves, nothing in this world can't stop him until he reaches his goal.
Together We're different, we're weird, we're unstable, we're annoyingly happy and cheerful, we're awesome. Truly awesome.
I love him, all the good and all the annoying and all the hesitation. He's one of a kind...
As you can see, I could stand here all day writing about this guy who's much more than just a normal guy but I don't think you could ever picture his awesomeness, what he represents to me and what we are together.
I think I will finish this post by saying what I've always said to him, like a bazillian times, that he's my one in seven billions and my life would never be as cheerful and jealous and interesting, in general, without him.
So, today, on the day you, my love, complete 20 years of age on this planet, I wanted to thank you for making me happy, always. May you remain the hot guy you are; May you pursue all your dreams and never give up on them because you're afraid getting left behind or not making it till the end; and May music always be part of us. You do have the talent or what they call, the X factor, by the way ;)

I love you,
and I truly hope that you've liked the gift I made for you. I made it with love.

always yours,
Tommy

Festival :)

Hello netheads!
I have just arrived from a concert at a local festival in my hometown. The artist who performed is the widely known R&B singer Craig David, everyone knows or must, at least, have heard of. The genre he plays and sings isn't exactly my vibe or where my musical tastes usually pass by nowadays, nevertheless I had to make an exception for Mister David since his music represents a specially happy time of my life. So summing up I had to grab this amazing opportunity - couldn't simply let it pass by me and regret later - of watching him perform live for free. Yes, this local festival called Festas do Mar sponsored by RFM and Cascais city council is totally free of charge. It includes generally local talents but it always has at least a widely known guest star.
This is yet the second time I'm attending it. I went there a couple years ago with a good friend of mine and now returned with my folks and another friend. Assuming next year, by this time, I'm in Portugal, you will definitely see me there. It is worth every mile to get there. It also depends of the billboards. This year's was nice but last year was better even better. Anywho here are a few photos I took tonight. Enjoy.

Love always, unless your friends are as busy as nine. In that case, throw the old fellas and get new ones.,
Tommy

PS. I made a few videos. I'm thinking of uploading them for you guys to see... maybe later.
