Santa paciência

Eu já vi fazerem esculturas com grãos de arroz, com palitos de dente, mas esse cara aí não é só um sujeito com muita paciência e tempo de sobra, o cara faz objetos realmente belos. Dessas coisas que encantam pelo mistério do saber fazer.

Cultural capitalism

A nice, indeed beautiful, example of what Slavoj Zizek calls the new consumerism. It really made me want to take a bite. The new ad from Chipotle:

The saddest songs III

Pieces Of A Man - Gil Scott-Heron

In my opnion, the most pungent song of Scott-Heron's:



The lyrics:

Jagged jigsaw pieces
Tossed about the room
I saw my grandma sweeping
With her old straw broom
But she didn't what she was doing
She could hardly understand
That she was really sweeping up..
Pieces of a man

I saw my daddy greet the mailman
And I heard the mailman say
"Now don't you take this letter to heart now Jimmy
Cause they've laid off nine others today"
But he didn't know what he was saying
He could hardly understand
That he was only talking to
Pieces of a man

I saw the thunder and heard the lightning!
And felt the burden of his shame
And for some unknown reason
He never turned my way

Pieces of that letter
Were tossed about that room
And now I hear the sound of sirens
Come knifing through the gloom
But they don't know what they are doing
They could hardly understand
That they're only arresting
Pieces of a man

I saw him go to pieces
I saw him go to pieces
He was always such a good man
He was always such a strong man
Yeah, I saw him go to pieces
I saw him go to pieces
