CANNONBALL!
​A Naga sadhu, or naked Hindu holy man, jumps in the Godavari River during Kumbh Mela, or Pitcher Festival, at Trimbakeshwar in Nasik, India, Sunday, Sept. 13, 2015. Hindus believe taking a dip in the waters of a holy river during the festival, will cleanse them of their sins. According to Hindu mythology, the Kumbh Mela celebrates the victory of gods over demons in a furious battle over a nectar that would give them immortality.

    Hoje assisti a um filme chamado REPOMAN - O Resgate de órgãos ou REPOSSESSION. Esse filme é de 2010 e engraçado como já fazem 4 anos, alguém me disse que precisava assistir a esse filme.... Independente das críticas positivas ou negativas, da trama um tanto previsível, e da falto de alguns artifícios hollywoodianos típicos, o que mais me chamou atenção e me fez não parar de pensar nesse filme (até o ponto de escrever esse blog depois de tanto tempo... :) é o fato da FRAGILIDADE HUMANA!  Como somos frágeis! Como não nos damos conta disso até perdermos um membro, ou ficarmos doentes ou, como no filme mostra: perdermos um órgão!  Um órgão!!!! Apenas 1 órgão!!!! e toda nossa vida vai por água abaixo! Nossa estrutura física, Emocional e familiar se desmantela.

O SEGREDO DA PRODUTIVIDADE / SECRET OF PRODUCTIVITY

Jerry Seinfeld's Productivity Secret Editor: When software developer  Brad Isaac  told us he had productivity advice from Jerry Seinfeld, we couldn't turn down the chance to hear more. Read on for the whole story from Brad. Years ago when  Seinfeld  was a new television show, Jerry Seinfeld was still a touring comic. At the time, I was hanging around clubs doing open mic nights and trying to learn the ropes. One night I was in the club where Seinfeld was working, and before he went on stage, I saw my chance. I had to ask Seinfeld if he had any tips for a young comic. What he told me was something that would benefit me a lifetime... He said the way to be a better comic was to create better jokes and the way to create better jokes was to write every day. But his advice was better than that. He had a gem of a leverage technique he used on himself and you can use it to motivate yourself—even when you don't feel like it. He revealed a unique calendar syste...

Super Car of the Famous People

Jay-Z's Mercedes Maybach Exelero Price:  $8 million Featured in his music video "Lost One," this car is  truly one-of-a-kind . Made by Italian car company Stola, it was manufactured only once. It is said to be able to reach 218 mph and can go from 0-62 mph in 4.4 seconds. The Exelero, it would seem, is not one of Jay-Z's 99 problems.   Jay Leno's McLaren F1 Price:  $22 million Of all Leno's vehicles, the  McLaren F1  is certainly one of the most impressive, if only for its price. There were only 106 made. Created by Formula One race-car designer Gordon Murray, the F1 is made of lightweight premium materials such as kevlar, carbon fiber, and titanium and is supposed to be one of the best supercars ever made. Tom Brady's Bugatti Veyron Price:  $3 million Tom Brady has seven Super Bowl wins and a  garage full of impressive cars  that he might have a little more time to drive now that he's retiring from the NFL. Perhaps the most impressive i...

The Best Book of All Times... A la recherche de temps perdu, Marcel Proust's - In Search of Lost Time

By
Image
In Search of Lost Time by  Marcel Proust Swann's Way, the first part of A la recherche de temps perdu, Marcel Proust's seven-part cycle, was published in 1913. In it, Proust introduces the themes that run through the entire work. The narrator recalls his childhood, aided by the famous madeleine; and describes M. Swann's passion for Odette. The work is incomparable. Edmund Wilson said "[Proust] has supplied for the first time in literature an equivalent in the full scale for the new theory of modern physics." Valentin Louis Georges Eugène Marcel Proust was a French novelist, critic, and essayist who wrote the monumental novel In Search of Lost Time, originally published in French in seven volumes between 1913 and 1927. He is considered by critics and writers to be one of the most influential authors of the 20th century. Famous Quotes:  * If a little dreaming is dangerous, the cure for it is not to dream less but to dream more, to dream all the time. * T...
