Rebirth

Well, this blog is being kind of dead for a while now! I think I should revive it!
A friend of mine, Bernardo, sometime ago told me I should revive it… but by that time I think it wasn’t yet the right time to revive it… I didn’t have the need to write… but now I do! Don’t know why, but now I feel the need to think about things… even if those things are the most common ones… but I feel the need to think about something! I think I want to think about life… and everything that surround us… :P

As my friend told me, I’m going to talk about some themes that I found in my day life…

So last week I was having lunch (at 4pm -.-) when I turned on the tv :P I was all by myself at home and here I just have 4 channels so I made some zapping and of course I had to stop on channel 4 (here channel 4 is called “tvi” is in my opinion the worst channel we have… they are the most sensationalist! And the programs that they have are terrible! Just terrible entertainment!) cause my other choices were just some terrible cartoons or advertisement… it’s not that advertisement it’s not a good choice… but I wanted something ‘stronger’! :P

So in tvi (channel 4) the show was ‘the Julia’s evenings that is like ‘oprah’ but a Portuguese version! (a terrible one) so the story was about an old man that had lost a son with 16 years old… the boy since was really young never wanted to study, so he worked with the father… he became his father best friend, they were really close, the son before making 16 asked a motorbike, but the father always thought that it’ll be really dangerous for the son to have a motorbike, in the meanwhile all family was like asking for the father to buy a motorbike to the son. In the 16th birthday of the boy, the father gave him the motorbike! =)

20 days later the sun had a crash with the bike and died… I think that this makes us think… at least it made me think! =(

Life’s too short and destiny catch us when we less expected it! We’ll we ever be prepared to die? I think that dyeing it’s the only thing that we can make sure it’ll happen in our life! Everything that born, dies, it always was and always will be like these… some live longer than others… and if we think about it, in the end… if we suppose that in the end, when we die, we go to nowhere ‘empty space’… why do we born? Why do we have self-conscience, live our lifes and have our experiences if in the end, we go back to nowhere, to the emptiness, to the beginning! That’s it? It’s an endless cycle? We born from the emptiness and die in the emptiness? I think that’s a really pessimistic view… maybe it’s better thinking that there’s another life after death, or that we born in another form…
Maybe hopping that everything that we are living, our experiences are in vain…
Lately I have noticed that… life is REALLY short… and I’m not talking just for talking, usually people say to us that life is only 2 days and that we should appreciate it as much as we can… (a Portuguese expression, that I don’t know if it applies in English) but I don’t know… these are that things called ‘normal’ that we know, it’s a fact, we agree but we don’t think about that! And when we really think about it… at least when I think about it, I give it so much value!
I think that many people think about life as given… it’s hard not to think that way… is there something more natural than living?! When we are living our day life, we don’t even realize that we are alive! How many of you stopped in the middle of the day and felt the smell of the warm wind, felt the warm of the sun, felt the softness of the water, or just one of this things and you realized you were alive?! This happens to me at least once a day! And I tell you all that is a feeling that gives me strength to keep my day, it makes me really in a good mood! It’s something I can’t describe! I realize that we have so FEW time to be here in this little blue planet…

Why do we complicate?! Why do we waste our time with some stupid things and things that don’t have any sense and just makes us angry and stuff in our day life? Life it’s too short and precious to waste with these things… at least that’s my opinion! I don’t know If I’m right or wrong, it’s just my way of seeing things. That’s why I think it’s really important keep going and enjoying the beautiful things that life has to give us! Maybe I have a way of looking things too much ‘romanticized’ but if we don’t enjoy it… who is going to enjoy it for us?! We must seize the moment and live life as much intensively as you can! Tomorrow we cannot be here… and thinking that at least we enjoyed all that life has to give us is something that at least consoles me! =)

So… ending, LIVE your life! =)

Sky


Sky ! That blue thing that we can see when we look up but just If we don’t have something blocking the way.

This was the next topic that my dear friend Bernardo gave to me ‘So, as you like to take sky pics SO much, write about it!’

Well, what is sky?

Just an optical ilusion?

For some people is something divine that we go when we die, like a hope of life before death, for another’s is just a natural element that changes all day, many times ignored by everyone…

Most people just give any kind of importance to this magnificent element when they wake up and look at their window just to see If they might need an umbrella or not, going through all day with their mind in their stressful lifes and always too busy to look up and see the beauty above!

I usually look to the sky at least 3 times a day, when I wake up, sometimes at the middle of the day ‘cause I have some kind of necessity to look up and knowing that I’m really insignificant in this world! Seeing how the world is so BIG and I’m so tiny… and at sunset of course, when the sky is at his best! I think that every time that the sun sets it leaves ‘saudades’… (that is a Portuguese word that does not have translation! But it means that we will miss him, that feeling is called ‘saudade’ in portuguese) But then it comes the night and with her all the tiny stars and of course the moon… and that is the moment when I totally feel overwhelmed! Because that’s when I look to the sky and think that not only the world is enormous and I’m tiny! But the world is REALLY tiny and the universe huge!

Sometimes we are so occupied with our own lifes that we don’t have enough time to just look at the sky!

I advice you that every time that you have any kind of problems or is just pissed off, look at the sky and have a deep breath! :D

It makes wonders!

And appreciate what nature haves of best!

Hi!


Well, what can I say?

My name is Maria, I’m 18 and last week I was talking with a friend of my and told him that I wanted to write something and what did he said to me?! ‘Maria, why don’t you create a blog?’ I never really liked blogs… I have an opinion about them maybe a little stupid or something but I think that when we write something we are showing a little bit of ourselves, even if it is just a little bit of our personality and I don’t like that idea! Because I don’t like to be exposed at all… so I never thought this was a good idea. But my friend told me to do this and I accepted! But with a condition! Just if he gives me some topics so I can talk about them! He accepted and here I am! Ready to write something!
I’m not going to talk about my day life… I’m just going to give my opinion about some things!
Now, why the name of this blog? I have an account in deviantart
www.thespiritcarrieson.deviantart.com and I thought keep the same name, but there was already this name so I made something similar (the spirit carries on and on and on) I have another blog one in Portuguese my language (that is the spirit carries on and on) so this one had to be on and on and on but this is the name of a such beautiful music from Dream Theatre! The lyric of this music is amazing and it is going to be an issue for another post, so just wait!
I made this blog in English because I have a friend that is from the states and I thought why not make another one in English?! Maybe it’s going to be fun and It’s going to be a good way to practice my English!
If I have any mistake please just let me know!

Another thing, all the pics that I’m going to put here are all mine I was the one who took them so if you want to copy or use them please just ask me first! I really hate if people use it and don’t ask or claim it as them, that’s so stupid…

If you haven’t saw my account in deviantart and want to take a look please go! I appreciate!

The another blog that I have in Portuguese will have the same things that this one have… but also will have some specific posts that in English doesn’t have any sense… this is my plan so enjoy!

I know that maybe this blog is going to have many watchers but… thanks to the ones that are going to see it :D
