I need a break

From work, from my thesis, from the city I live, from my students, from the TV shows I've been watching, from eating pasta and cookies as I didn't care for my hips, from drinking Coke zero, from instagram...

I'm tired. No, I'm exhausted!

The mind is a funny thing...

Today I woke up with this song in my mind. It's not only my favorite MJ song but also the one that has marked the most my childhood. I think my mother had it on tape.
Maybe it's because Mother's Day it's this next Sunday, who knows?
So for all the good flashes from the past, here we go.

Oh and one bonus: it's almost Friday.

pre-birthday thoughts on a Sunday night (part 1)

Since I'm incapable of boss my pets and my students, it's best to never have children.

(And I think my new cat is the worst ADD case ever. The second one it's me)

About the HIMYM Finale

As the majority of viewers, I totally hated it.
I could make an huge text about all the things I didn't liked, but I was so angry yesterday I want avoid going to deep on this matter again. I only want to say two things: 

1. to the ones who defend Robin regretted not choosing Ted, that doesn't mean she loved him. I understood at the Halloween scene she was jealous when she realized that destiny and "finding the one" was something that happened for Ted (who spent 9 years of our lives defending this truth) and not for her (who never believed anyway). Through the whole show Robin represented that side of all of us that likes to know or to keep someone always waiting, believing and loving us, even when we know it's never gonna happen or work out. To put she and Ted together again in the end is a big consolation prize for her and maybe to many of us, especially like that without any kind of effort, but kills the very essence of Ted's conception for love, which was to find someone who's ready and open to give as much love and devotion as he could.

2. If you don't agree with this and liked the final episode, I'm happy for you. I actually envy you because life goes on and these 9 years were not in vain for you. But if you think like me, I highly recommend you to watch this alternative version made by a fan and take this, from now on, as the real finale.

Entre a ideia e o medo...
