when you dominate the pressure, it turns into adrenalin."

(in)joy - the power of the children

As we grow, we're losing the ability of being happy, of living in joy,

and no old sage or buddhist guru can teach us to live in hapiness, as children teach us.

We a lot to learn with the children:

They teach us to relax,

They teach us to not worry,

They teach us to have fun,

They teach us to enjoy the moment,

They teach us to smile,

They teach us to live every single moment like it was the last one, with their pure and innocent joy.

Funny The Way It Is ...

It's a song from the last Dave Matthews Band album , Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King .

I want you to take a look at the lyrics, and think about it :

___

Lying in the park on a beautiful day

Sunshine in the grass, and the children play
Siren’s passing, fire engine red
Someone’s house is burning down on a day like this

(...)

Funny the way it is, if you think about it
Somebody’s going hungry and someone else is eating out
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
Somebody’s heart is broken and it becomes your favorite song

Funny the way it is, if you think about it
One kid walks 10 miles to school, another’s dropping out
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
On a soldier’s last breath his baby’s being born

'Healthy Foods' (no. 1)

Avocado

(I DO NOT own this photos)

It's a fruit and 50% of the US families eat atleast one per week.

Brazilians eat it with ice cream and Filipinos with milk and sugar.

It doesn't matter. What does matter is what is written below:

The Power: Oleic acid, an unsaturated fat that helps lower overall cholestrol and raise levels of HDL, plus a good dose of fiber. One slice has 81 calories, 8 grams of fat and 3 grams of fiber.

Now, here you have the most yummy avocado recipes i've found:

2012 (movie & more)

It's the best disaster film i've seen so far. In my opinion it goes beyond movies like 'The Independence Day', 'The Day After Tomorrow', 'Knowing', 'The Mist', 'I Am Legend or even 'War of the Worlds'.

160 minutes of pure adrenalin with breathtaking scenes, provided by the budget of 160000000 dolars.

Sometimes i wonder if the doomsday should really happen.
The Man is an egocentric and selfish creature and maybe he should bear the consequences of his deeds.

Ending or not the world, i believe some change is about to happend or start happening in December 2012. There's no smoke without fire, so after all the forecasts from well-known prophets, scientists, and all the mess the Mankind has been doing to the Mother Nature, something is about to happend, for sure.

Respect the Mother Nature before it's too late.

" I do not believe 2012 will be the end of the road,

I believe it'll be the bend of it. " ,
