If I were a boy ...

... oh wait, I am a boy and love this video :D
one of beyonce's best, love it. This is one of the best music videos I have ever seen. It is like a movie and song in one. I can listen over and over again. Hope some of you like it, too. It makes me think about "the power" I have in the relationship, and aware of how to use in the most effective way... to bring the best outcome for everybody. "A win-win situation" :)

Everyday, when I wake up, I open the blinds and look out the window and think to myself how blessed I am that I have wonderful people in my life.

Then I smile ...

Thats the thing ... Simple is better

This is the answer!!! Listen to this girl seriously! Earth First. This movie is made too simplistic so everybody could understand the message cause the point here is to inform and create a conscience about the problem. Real change can only come from the people.
Let's change people ... We CAN make it change.
Lets create something new I'll just say: it seems we live in a wrong era, we as human beings have to find a way to unite great masses of people who love and respect our planet and thus nature, pieceful and friendly goverments and policies. but this is utopia. how?!! It is ALL our problem, but some of us are more responsible than others. When was the last time you needed to walk 3 miles to carry 3 litres of water? Easier to go to the mall in the 4x4 to buy a mega diet coke perhaps? Why is there toxic stuff in our stuff, and why does it cost more if you buy things without the toxic stuff? It makes me mad to know that there is so much toxic stuff. The good news is that we are consumers and hold the power. Be aware of what you purchase. We all need to be happy with what we've got, and stop asking for more.

I believe in Barack

This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. But one that's on my mind tonight is about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. "She's a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election except for one thing - Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.

She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons - because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.

And tonight, I think about all that she's seen throughout her century in America - the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can't, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we can.

At a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes we can.

When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs and a new sense of common purpose. Yes we can.

When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes we can.

She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that "We Shall Overcome." Yes we can.

A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination. And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change. Yes we can.

America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves - if our children should live to see the next century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?

This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time - to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth - that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people:

Yes We Can. Thank you, God bless you, and may God Bless the United States of America."

Barack Obama,
United States of America's new President

I need you

Izabela... I appreciate you beyond belief for everything you are and have ever been to me. I love and trust you more and more with each day that passes. You never fail to bring a smile to my face. You're amazing and I hope you never fail to see that. Thank you for always believing the best of me, and reminding me that any perceived flaws only reinforce that I am human. I love you more than anything.
