live without a television for a year
LIVING WITHOUT TV ! 8 months ago

If I`m going to count the time of my life i have lived without TV, I would have to say about 10 years !!!
First , during college, while I was taking my degree in Law and Pos-graduations, I lived in an oldish house , in a tipical “barrio” , in the center of Lisbon , a place full of history ( wich dates back to the 12th century) then , turned into fashion place for the intelectual bohemians !
It was so apealing , and lively during the night (sometimes too alive), that I easily ajust not having TV…I prefered to go to the esplanades, the “intelectual”(or not so much )discussions in the bars of all kind of styles (mixing the old with the new tendencies).
I had a small TV , with a radio , clock , everything that my father bought to me in Italy !
But my routine was read the newspapers during the day, and sleep at the sound of the radio!
I also travelled for long periods of time ( 3 months a year), to places, mostly in Africa , where we ( the ONG that I worked with) were allways going to diferent places, again, with no tv…sometimes with no radio…
So when I finally had my home , Yes I bought 2 TVs …that were allways off!
I preferred, and STILL DO , to read a book, and listen to good music !
I could spend the rest of my days with my books and my music , and I wouldn`t miss TV ! Believe it or not ! :)
But that`s me !
Hugs !!!!

Don`t try to force it.
Any poem is already inside you.
You just have to stop and listen.
With time you`ll hear them clearly and clearly!


Travel through a desert
Defitly worth doing ! 10 months ago

I`ve crossed the Sahara From North to South about 8 (eigth) times … always a story to tell…a new feeling to discover…a diferent person to meet !
The silence…the million stars at night…and so many thy things that one has to feel him/herself are experiences that shake and shape our mind!
Worth to be done !
