"Animals"

Animal
You’re an animal
Don’t take anything less

Out of control
You’re out of control
Strike those in distress

Analyse
Advertise
Expand
Bend more rules
Buy yourself an island

Animals
We’re animals
Buy when blood is on the street

Out of control
We’re out of control
Crush those who beg at your feet

Analyse
Franchise
Spread out
Kill the competition
And buy yourself an ocean

Amortise
Downsize
Lay off
Kill yourself
Come on and do us all a favour

Put a small amount of plasticine on the bottom of half nut shell.
Cut a piece of paper, and paint it with happy colors. It can be cut in a triangle shape, square, circle, cloud... The paper sail will give the boat its individuality.
Stick the toothpick in the paper sail, piercing on the bottom and the end of the paper to hold it.
Stick the toothpick and sail in to the plasticine.
Then you can fill the bathtub, a bowl, a basin, a plastic piscine or search for a rain puddle on the street.
Put the little boats in it and watch them float.
To make races, just blow to see who arrives first to the other side.
Watch out for the shipwrecks!

I'm drawing a lot of thinking fishes lately.
Do fish think?
Or maybe it is me not thinking.

Stones. Aligned stones. Aligned. Aligned ideas. Ideas.
With ideas in it. Ideas in stones. Holes in stones.
Aligned holes. Agregated holes.
Chaos in order. Order in chaos.

About society.
About roles and perception.
About freedom.
About life meaning.
About love.

Have a great end of week or a great beginning of life.
It is always time to live it.

Week 16: Technology

The big
and old
gear of life
keeps spinning.

I does not matter
if the sprocket teeth
are worn and tired.

It spins and spins
and will keep spinning.

The always impressive Léo Ferré, a poet and musician who mixed love with anarchy, lyricism with slang. Original french version. Partial translation in portuguese and english.

(...)We bark with weapons in the mouth
Wite and black weapons like black and white words
BLACK AS THE TERROR YOU WILL ASSUME
WHITE AS THE VIRGINITY WE ASSUME
WE ARE DOGS and dogs, when they feel someone aproaching
they become disturbed, they unleash themselves,
and drop their bone as we drop our cigarrette
when we have something urgent to do (...)

Week 13: Playing with Light

Inside this safe
cold tomb
I have enclosed myself,
all I can sense
are reflexions
of the lives
I could be living.

Looking for the light.

I have red tears on my fingers,
on my face,
on my knees,
but I keep pushing the bushes away,
trying to reach the light.

Lynyrd Skynyrd, Simple Man. A good song to start the day with.
Anyone noticed the music is the same as Always Somewhere, by Scorpions, recorded later? Only with minor changes and different lyrics? That makes me wonder why it is not said it is a cover, just because de lyrics are different...
Anyway - Enjoy! I am.
