Há quantos dias estamos aqui? Quantos dias nos restam?

"Mostly I write, tapping and scratching away, day and night sometimes. But if I ever stop for long enough
to question what I'm actually doing, the why of it, well, I couldn't really tell you. I don't know. It's a world I'm creating... ...a world full of monsters and heroes, good guys and bad guys. It's an absurd, crazy, violent world... where people rage away and God actually exists. And the more I write, the more detailed and elaborate the world becomes and all the characters that live and die or just fade away, they're just crooked versions of myself. Anyway, for me, it all begins in here in the most tiniest of ways."

Day 4: That song

No dia de aniversário do navio mais conhecido do mundo com nome de cerveja. Quase imediatamente a ter tirado esta fotografia, só havia uma música que me atravessava o pensamento, e assim passou a ser esta a alternativa a tirar uma foto da capa do disco. Espero não ter "contornado" as regras do desafio. :))

"Não me parece que seja uma coincidência que muitos dos meus personagens tendam a ser desenraizados, sempre em trânsito entre umas situações e outras. Tenho apreciado não ter de fazer parte da sociedade. Por outro lado, acho que isso tem um aspecto negativo, que é na verdade sentir que não faço parte de nada."

Abril de 1994

Caveisms

"Olhavas para o público, eles estavam de olhos postos em ti, e sabias que eles queriam que tu fizesses um mortal de costas, por isso tu fazias e sentias-te um idiota. É aí que se começa a falhar, quando se começa a reconhecer e a tentar saciar o apetite que se concentra na massa à tua frente. Pura e simplesmente já não me preocupo com o que pode ou não ser relevante para os outros... Parece-me que as grandes obras de arte são aquelas que se estão absolutamente nas tintas para tudo o resto; completamente pessoais e egocêntricas."

Dezembro de 1983

Amanhã é dia do Senhor

God Is In The House

We've laid the cables and the wires
We've split the wood and stoked
the fires
We've lit our town so there is no
Place for crime to hide
Our little church is painted white
And in the safety of the night
We all go quiet as a mouse
For the word is out
God is in the house
God is in the house
God is in the house
No cause for worry now
God is in the house

Moral sneaks in the White House
Computer geeks in the school house
Drug freaks in the crack house
We don't have that stuff here
We have a tiny little Force
But we need them of course
For the kittens in the trees
And at night we are on our knees
As quiet as a mouse
For God is in the house
God is in the house
God is in the house
And no one's left in doubt
God is in the house

Homos roaming the streets in packs
Queer bashers with tyre-jacks
Lesbian counter-attacks
That stuff is for the big cities
Our town is very pretty
We have a pretty little square
We have a woman for a mayor
Our policy is firm but fair
Now that God is in the house
God is in the house
God is in the house
Any day now He'll come out
God is in the house

Well-meaning little therapists
Goose-stepping twelve-stepping Tetotalitarianists
The tipsy, the reeling and the drop down pissed
We got no time for that stuff here
Zero crime and no fear
We've bred all our kittens white
So you can see them in the night
And at night we're on our knees
As quiet as a mouse
Since the word got out
From the North down to the South
For no-one's left in doubt
There's no fear about
If we all hold hands and very quietly shout
Hallelujah
God is in the house
God is in the house
Oh I wish He would come out
God is in the house
