1000 Things

invisible people

from the 1st of June to the 4th of July. it was the 'Arraial da Madalena', a kind of a fair that occurs every year near Terreiro do Paço, in the heart of Lisbon, a few meters from the sea.

shows everyday: portuguese popular music

movement. all kinds of people: young and old, freaks and geeks, rich and poor, hippes and headbangers, ...

but they all had a thing in common: they all were there to have fun

my aunt had 2 bunkers there and i've been there helping out

i've met lots of people, people that i never thought i'd meet and much less i'd like them

some of those people used to help us taking care of the bunkers and we would give them food and shelter in the night (my aunt let them sleep in the bunkers so that they would not have to sleep in the streets as they use to do all year).

at the beggining i used to get away from them but as time passed i got to know them better.

i've started noticing that we cannot take a conclusion about someone's personality only based on what they look like from the outside. it's a pity that despite everybody like to pronounce this phrase, only some apply this in the real life...

as the time passed, i started getting used to those people, and i started kinda liking them.

now that the fair is over i wont see them no more.

i wish them all the luck in their constantly search for a better life

constantly learning,

James

Freebird

take a look at the lyrics of this epic anthem from Lynyrd Skynyrd (click here for the song, live in 76)

If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
I must be traveling on, now
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see

But, if I stayed here with you, girl
Things just couldn't be the same
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird, you'll cannot change

(...)

And this bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
Lord knows, I can't change
Lord help me, I can't change

Won't you fly high, free bird, yeah?

of course you've got to listen to the Allen Collins' crazy solo at the end of the song.

RIP Ronnie, Allen, Gaines, Leon and Billy
