The Royal Wedding...
So I did not get up at 4 a.m. but I did get up a little after 5. Yes, I am one of those people who got up early to watch the Royal Wedding. I watched the first 45 minutes from the comfort of my own bed but then managed to get up and head to the living room where I could watch the rest of it in HD. I sat curled up on my sofa as William and Harry arrived and was on the edge of my seat in hopes of a glimpse of "the dress".
I'm not going to lie to you, I was a little disappointed.
I understand that she is the future queen and all that and I understand that she is not a flashy person by any stretch of the imagination but really, it was beautifully classic but a little boring. Kate was flawless, of that there was no doubt. But I think I had a hard time seeing the adorable couple that I have come to enjoy turn so formal and a little stiff - even for such a formal even.
The official pictures that were released today just lacked their usual cheeriness and I think she's going to look back at some point and think "What?" All in all, the ceremony was lovely, there were several parts of it that I would love to hear at my own son's wedding (when that happens). I know formal shots are supposed to be well, formal, but I think for most of us, we also want our personalities to come through even then. Between this stiff posing and that less-than-thrilling kiss (and second kiss), it would have been nice to see the people that we have always seen.
I think in a time of world unrest, this was a nice break. I liked watching it. And then I watched it a second time over lunch with Nick. Yes, he wanted to see it and it was sweet to watch it with him.
Overall, here's the rest of my thoughts: The hats? Ridiculous. Fergie's daughter looked like she had antlers on her head (even though it was supposed to be a bow). I kept having images of a hunting rifle scope in the shot! There were a lot of very unattractive people there who were trying to be all that with their hats and dresses and failed miserably.
I thought that Prince Harry was adorable - especially when he turned around when Kate was walking up the aisle. Pipa's dress was fabulous but from all of the wild stories that I had heard about her, all I could think of was she and Harry hooking up in some cloak room later on in the day!
It made me cry to see Camilla in the car waving to the crowd when Princess Diana wasn't alive to be doing the same. It wasn't fair. Knowing how much she loved her boys, I think she would have just been thrilled to see this day. Heartbreaking.
It was a beautiful day and I can only hope that they have a beautiful life.

Carta aberta à Sport Lisboa e Benfica, SAD
Caros administradores da Sport Lisboa e Benfica, SAD,
Bem sei que, na sociedade em que vivemos, o tempo é o bem mais valioso. Neste sentido, e caso não vos seja conveniente ler o resto do conteúdo desta missiva, passo a apresentar, numa frase, a ideia-chave que vos pretendo transmitir: Sei que sou um alvo fácil mas, por favor, não façam de mim otário.
Posto isto, e na esperança de que um dos vossos assalariados disponha de algum tempo livre, passo a explicar.
Eu, João Tomaz, sócio nº9478, tenho as quotas em dia e adquiri o red pass. Comprei o pack da Liga dos Campeões e os bilhetes de todos os jogos realizados na Luz referentes à Liga Europa, Taça de Portugal e Taça da Liga. Assisti também com algum sofrimento, reconheço, a jogos da pré-época como, por exemplo, o da Taça Eusébio. Pelo meu número de sócio poderão constatar, através de uma rápida pesquisa na vossa base de dados, que o que vos estou a dar a conhecer não só é verdade como em nada difere de épocas anteriores. Refira-se, desde que sou gente.
Em suma, sou um excelente cliente. Porque quero, porque preciso e porque, felizmente, posso.
Desenganem-se vocês se, com esta carta, julguem que pretendo vangloriar-me da minha dedicação. Pelo contrário, considero-a natural e, acrescente-se, bem mais compensadora para mim.
Hoje, à semelhança do que se havia passado no jogo que disputámos frente ao PSV, festejei cada golo do Benfica com mais de 50000 benfiquistas. E que bonito foi. Valeu cada cêntimo que paguei.
No entanto, não entendo nem aceito que, à última da hora, os senhores tenham decidido distribuir convites de uma forma que mais pareceu a confederação nacional de agricultores a distribuir batatas no Terreiro do Paço em dia de protesto.
É inacreditável que, depois de ter pago 20€ para assistir ao jogo frente ao PSV e 25€ frente ao Braga, tenha verificado que os senhores decidiram distribuir convites aos milhares. Só a mim, chegaram-me ofertas de convites de quatro proveniências diferentes. A todas agradeci e recusei pois já havia comprado o ingresso. Não sei qual será a elasticidade da procura mas duvido que, com bilhetes a 10€, sobrassem cadeiras para convites.
Porque sou benfiquista, sócio, pago quotas e quero garantir a presença no estádio, e não por ser o otário que vocês deverão pensar que sou e fazem questão de me fazer sentir, continuarei, enquanto puder, a comprar o red pass e os bilhetes para as restantes competições. Estejam descansados que não perdem o cliente. Mas não se esqueçam de uma coisa: Sou um cliente fiel da SLB, SAD, mas também um sócio do vosso principal accionista que, por via dos estatutos, tem a faculdade de poder correr convosco através do voto.
Saudações benfiquistas,
João Tomaz

P.S.: Alguém me consegue informar como é que entro em contacto por email com a SAD do Benfica?

Liga Europa
Para mim, o verdadeiro Benfica será sempre um Benfica Europeu, talvez porque cresci numa época em que ser Campeão Nacional era para o Benfica um hábito.
Por isso, um título europeu será sempre para mim tão importante como um título nacional, ou mesmo mais.
Se ganharmos a Liga Europa isso siginificará que, apesar de tudo, fazemos uma boa época. Se não a ganharmos, a época terá sempre de ser classificada como fraca e decepcionante.
Ao que parece, já garantimos que o Estádio estará cheio, pelo que já não vale a pena fazer apelos nesse sentido. Lembro apenas aos Benfiquistas que, durante o jogo, nós adeptos estamos lá para apoiar a equipa e puxar por ela, mesmo que as coisas comecem a correr mal, ou sobretudo nesse caso. Até porque a eliminatória são dois jogos, e mesmo um eventual mau resultado em casa pode semprer ser rectificado fora (como nós recentemente e infelizmente aprendemos à nossa custa).
(PS - ao contrário do que pretende o nosso treinador, nem todos os títulos se equivalem; não é com certeza a taça da liga que serve para medir o sucesso de uma equipa como a do Benfica ou do seu treinador)

Have you lost yourself?
A friend of ours is getting married. He's an older gentleman and this will be his second marriage - his first wife died of cancer several years ago. So in all of the prepping and hooplah that goes with getting ready to get married, households are merging. This is a very strange phenomenon.
Back in the day, Frank and I moved in together but neither of us had much so really, it wasn't a matter of merging two households it was more like completing one another. Whatever it was that he didn't have, I did, and vise-versa. By the time the move in was complete, we didn't have duplicates of anything and all was well.
But now, looking at two people who have lived long lives, maintained families and complete households for 40+ years and you end up with a LOT of stuff. Even more so when you never throw anything away.
So we're watching this transition and it borders on hysteria. They have completely different tastes - she is a little artsy (lots of flowers, candles, nick nacks, pastels, etc) and he is...well, he's a man who is...shall we say... countrified. Lots of animal heads, tractors and wood. The combination of the two styles merging together is odd to say the least.
So this had me thinking, when you have something like this happen, who wins? Who compromises? Who has to get rid of their stuff (or more of their stuff) and lose themselves? I know that in most cases the woman wins because guys don't usually care so much about their surroundings but this whole situation is making me a bit sad. He is definitely losing and I'm not sure I like it. Not that I just don't like her taste in stuff but I don't like the fact that he is having to get rid of so much stuff.
One funny story about when Frank and I moved in together involves a ceramic chicken. It was hideous...well, maybe that's over-doing it but lets just say that it was NOT my style. Well, being that I was moving in to Frank's "bachelor pad" some things did have to go just because...well, blech! So he allowed me to get rid of the ceramic chicken.
And I did.
In the trash.
In a way that left no room for it's return.
I still hear about it to this day.
Twenty two years later.
And you know what's funny about that? Other than the fact that I have earned the title of "ceramic chicken hater", he had no use for that item so there was no reason to save it BUT because it was his, and he'd had it long before I arrived on the scene, there was an attachment. A stupid, ceramic chicken attachment.
Ugly pottery aside, how do you make someone get rid of items of sentimental value to make room for sentimental items of your own? I hope I never have to find myself in that position although I am not a hoarder so even if I did, there's not much that I'd have to merge with.
I think that people should make a few more concessions and let each spouse's personality come through but in a way that doesn't wreak havoc on the senses or hurt the eyes of everyone visiting your home. For now, this particular couple still has a long way to go before people are going to walk through their house without a sense of unease...

Presidente Luis Filipe Vieira,
Espero que na Final da Liga Europa abra as portas do Estádio da Luz, para que o jogo seja visualizado ao vivo em Dublin mas também no nosso belo Estádio com o resto da familia benfiquista.
É que não é todos os dias que conseguimos encher dois Estádios, mas às vezes acontece.
Saudações Benfiquistas.

Amazing Race Outrage!!
Now you know that one of my favorite shows to watch is "The Amazing Race". I LOVE Sunday nights and it is one of the few shows that I watch all week.
This season's theme has been "Unfinished Business" where the show invited back former contestants to run the race again. I was a little less than thrilled with most of the teams that were chosen but was happy to see the cowboy's back because they are just fun to watch.
***SPOILER ALERT***If you have not watched this week's show, STOP READING NOW!!***
Okay, so I'm basking in the afterglow that is my Easter Sunday and watching Amazing Race while eating some freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. Very yummy. So in this episode, it's down to 6 teams, one of which is the cowboys, and it seemed like all of the other teams silently agreed that it was time for them to go. I almost couldn't watch. Personally, I wanted Gary and Mallory to go because she just irritates me to no end. And if it wasn't going to be Gary and Mallory then it needed to be the Goth couple because he whines to much!
So by the midway point in the episode, all of the teams shared information with each other so that most of them did not FAIRLY complete the challenge and that left the cowboys doing their share of that challenge LEGITIMATELY.
In the end, they caught up to the Globetrotters who, because they suck, U-turned them!!! I was beyond upset. I almost cried when Phil told them that they had been eliminated. I realize that it's all a game and you are supposed to try and win at all costs but the cowboys always played fairly and honestly, I don't know if I will watch the remaining episodes because I think that the rest of the teams should have been penalized for cheating.
Goodbye, Cowboys...you will be missed...

Winners for the giveaways that ended on 4/23
CONGRATULATIONS!!I hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend. Our family had friends over for lunch and dinner both on Saturday and Sunday and on Sunday we were blessed to attend our church's sunrise service followed by a wonderful baptismal service where several people accepted Jesus into their hearts. Oh what a time! We just keep thanking God for this season He is taking our church through.Glory
So how was your weekend?
You know, actually, mine was pretty sweet.
Saturday was such a lazy, relaxing day that even though I was bored silly for a large part of it, it was just wonderful. I finished all of the food shopping for Easter, concocted something yummy for dinner (and if you have the opportunity, try the new Philly Cooking Cream - you won't be sorry) and just vegged.
Glorious, simply glorious.
Yesterday, Easter Sunday, had me feeling very emotional all day. Besides the emotion of what Easter is about - the sacrifice that Jesus made for us - I had the opportunity to spend the day with my kids. All of my kids. Yes, I know some of you are like "WHAT? All of her kids?? Doesn't she just have two?" Well, yes I do BUT...I also have kids in my life who are like my own because I love them so much.
When I went to church yesterday, Michael and I left here and drove to Nick's house. He lives quite literally right next door to my church. He hasn't come to church with me (Nick, that is) in years! He has another church that he goes to with his girlfriend and I really don't mind because at least they go to church together. But yesterday, he asked if he could come with me. Moms? Are you feeling the emotion in that?
So, Michael and I get there and not only is Nick there waiting, but his beautiful girlfriend is there, as well. I just about cried. I hugged them and told them how much it meant to me that they would be joining me at church and when we got there, and I got to sit with them (after I was done greeting) and then got to introduce them to my friends afterwards, well, it was just wonderful.
After church, Michael asked if he could hang out at Nick's for a little while and Nick said yes (good big brother move) and so I went home to start prepping for dinner. Beckah was going to be spending it with her family and she was greatly missed. At around 4, Alex (Nick's best friend) showed up and was quickly followed by my boys. Alex and Nick have been best friends since around the age of 5 and he is my third son. When he walked in and thanked me for inviting him AND told me that I looked nice, well, that had me wanting to cry again!
We ate, we talked, we laughed - the boys all ran around in the yard like they used to when they were little. They played video games and were so loud that I had to reprimand them - like when they were little! It was just the BEST day.
So thank you to all my kids for spending Easter with me and making it an amazing memory. You are all just the best and I love you!!!

APELO
Tendo em conta o inconstante acerto e sentido de oportunidade da nossa politica de comunicação na denúncia do vício e da vergonha das competições nacionais apelo aos benfiquistas com conhecimentos e meios, que resumam num vídeo a verdadeira história deste campeonato e da taça de Portugal. Onde constem todos os lances de todas as jornadas em que o clube do regime foi beneficiado e o Glorioso prejudicado. Esse pequeno filme não deve ficar por mostrar os lances dos penalties e foras de jogo, é necessário que sublinhe a dualidade de critérios disciplinares e as atitudes simpáticas ou agressivas dentro de campo de algumas equipas em função dos seus adversários, que até no seu onze inicial se faziam notar tanta é a subserviência para com quem realmente manda no desporto em Portugal.
Depois de realizado é fazê-lo circular através do e-mail e redes sociais por todo Mundo na esperança de poder indignar uns e acordar outros para a realidade do nosso futebol. Eu não esqueço que nas nossas duas últimas vitórias no campeonato os nossos rivais sem qualquer razão conseguiram “colar” chavões que muita boa gente/imprensa abraçou (levados ao colo e túneis). È obrigação de todos os benfiquistas denunciar a batota permanente deste e de muitos outros campeonatos, e não permitir que a vitória de quem chegou em primeiro quando vestido de azul e branco passe sempre como justa e indiscutível como é costume.

p.s. mais uma vez afirmo que darei prioridade à critica interna depois de constatar que concorremos em pé de igualdade com os nossos adversários, e que os nossos erros são mais decisivos que as condicionantes que nos são impostas. Infelizmente á muitos anos que tal não acontece.
Apelo à responsabilidade de todos os Benfiquistas
Sinto que há benfiquistas tristes e desmoralizados, e compreendo esse estado de espirito. Mas acompanhem o meu raciocinio meus amigos, há quantos anos não ganhamos um troféu europeu? Eu já vi 3 finais que perdemos e custou muito mesmo muito. Estamos a 3 jogos de poder vencer um titulo europeu o que acham que se pede? o que acham que podemos fazer nós os benfiquistas?
Cada vez que haja barulho, confusão, ruido, quem se irá aproveitar quem irá tirar dividendos, quem se irá rir das nossas quezilias? Vocês já sabem a resposta.
Vamos esquecer o passado e centrarmo-nos no futuro, eu nunca vi o Benfica vencer na Europa e quero muito, quero abraçar-me aos meus filhos e dizer-lhes que ganhámos uma Taça Europeia, e esta Taça, para mim é a mais bonita de todas, esquecendo o significado de cada uma.
Campeonatos, já temos muitos, Liga Europa não temos nenhuma.
Um anónimo e peço desculpa de não mencionar a pessoa mas identificou-se como anónimo disse isto na caixa de comentários do post anterior:
Não sou melhor que ninguém, mas há uma coisa que eu sei que sou: SOU DO BENFICA! E sou do Benfica sempre! Quando ganha, quando perde e sofro por ele todos os dias da minha vida.
O Sport Lisboa e Benfica não está à frente da minha familia, da minha filha, das minhas responsabilidades, mas também não está atrás, porque o BENFICA é o meu amor mais antigo.
Peço a todos os bloggers que esta semana façam passar uma mensagem de união entre os adeptos benfiquistas, para que na próxima 5ª Feira o nosso estádio esteja cheio e possamos fazer um bom resultado que nos ajude a chegar à final de Dublin.
Um grande Abraço para ele!
Só dizer mais uma coisa, que os órgãos mais altos se unam, que os sócios se unam, que os adeptos se unam que todos os verdadeiros benfiquistas se unam e que possamos chegar e vencer a final da LIGA EUROPA!

Os "festejos"
Ontem saí de Coimbra chateado. Para início de conversa, considero todos os benfiquistas que assobiam jogadores do Benfica uns autênticos atrasados mentais. Não me refugio em eufemismos como "falsos benfiquistas" ou "amargurados com a eliminação da taça". O que são, e não há outra classificação, é isto mesmo: Uns atrasados mentais.
Sendo todos benfiquistas, é certo que não somos todos atrasados mentais, e o que os nossos jogadores fizeram ontem foi inqualificável.
Agora leio pelo blogosfera benfiquista que os jogadores não devem ser assobiados, blá, blá, blá, mas faço notar que o que se passou com o Luisão e outros jogadores foi a consequência da sua recusa em festejar a vitória com os adeptos.
Se os assobios na 2ª parte foram estúpidos, já os assobios após a entrega da taça foram mais que justos e foi só devido a eles que os jogadores lá se deram ao trabalho de se dirigir aos adeptos.
À excepção do Moreira, Jardel e Javi Garcia, todos os outros fingiram ignorar que, apesar de alguns assobios na 2ª parte, havia 20000 benfiquistas felizes com a vitória da taça da Liga.
Pior que benfiquistas atrasados mentais que assobiam os jogadores do Benfica durante um jogo, são jogadores com atitudes destas. E atitudes destas, com ou sem águia ao peito, só podem ter o que merecem: Costas voltadas!

Missão cumprida - Próximo nivel
Ganhámos a Taça da Liga e somos nas competições a sério e aqui excluo a supertaça que é um troféu disputado muitas das vezes com o finalista da Taça de Portugal que nada ganhou, os vencedores inequivocos das competições nacionais. Para que não se esqueçam 32 Campeonatos, 24 Taças de Portugal e 3 Taças da Liga, sim, somos o clube com mais vitórias. Mas isto é passado.
Quinta-feira meia final da Liga Europa a antiga Taça Uefa, estamos lá, e vamos ajudar a equipa a ganhar, rumo a DUBLIN.
APOIAR APOIAR E APOIAR É O QUE TEMOS DE FAZER...... RUMO A DUBLIN!

Keep your swaggering to yourself, Bub!
People are awkward.
There, I said it.
I know, I know, I am awkward too but sometimes it is just painful to witness others awkwardness. The other day I was sitting and talking with a friend - in person, face to face. We weren't discussing our marriages or anything of the sort when her husband came in to the room. No big deal; it was like "hey, how are you?" and he took a seat sort of to the left of his wife but more behind her. He made all kinds of faces at the things that she was saying and I'm thinking "I can see you, you jerk!" Occassionally he would interject something in to the conversation to make himself sound smart and then he'd swagger out of the room only to return a few minutes later with the same routine.
Really??
Then there are couples on Facebook. I'm sorry, but...you're married. Save some of the, shall we say "magic" for when you are alone and no one has to witness it. I think it's sweet to see the "I love you"'s that people post on their spouse's walls but when you are just plain letting the world know that you just "did it", please, please, PLEASE...keep it to yourself.
I know I put a lot of stuff out here on the blog about my life and it's normally in a rant format, but believe me when I tell you there is like a million-times more things that I don't share. Why? Because they are private. I would be mortified if my husband was making faces behind my back in front of someone we knew. I would be disgusted if he posted 'after-glow' talk on Facebook.
Your thoughts?
There, I said it.

I know I put a lot of stuff out here on the blog about my life and it's normally in a rant format, but believe me when I tell you there is like a million-times more things that I don't share. Why? Because they are private. I would be mortified if my husband was making faces behind my back in front of someone we knew. I would be disgusted if he posted 'after-glow' talk on Facebook.
Your thoughts?
Put a fork in me, I'm done...
I am exhausted. I had completely forgotten what it's like to work a 30+ hour week AND take care of a home and family. Two years of unemployment has made me soft.
I am relieved that the weekend is here and would probably enjoy it more if it weren't a holiday weekend where I still have to be "on" and happy and social. Really, all I want is to curl up in to a ball in my bed and turn out the light and sleep for a week.
I'm dreaming of a vacation. If my book sells, I am SO going away for at least a long weekend someplace and you know what? I don't think it will be Disney related! TWIST! I know, shocking, right? I think I would want to go someplace and just veg for a couple of days.
If only...

Amanhã em Coimbra
Amanhã o autocarro deverá na minha opinião ser recebido por uma multidão efusiva e vibrante, será nestas alturas que o carácter vem ao de cima, que o Ser Benfiquista esvoaça e plana sobre algo inexplicavel que só nós podemos sentir. Que venham as bandeiras e buzinas que se grite e se puxe pelos nossos, havemos de ir a Dublin, havemos meus caros. Não há clube no Mundo com a nossa bela história, que se vistam de vermelho e branco e que encham a alma de querer e de esperança.

How do you read?
A couple of weeks ago I was at the mall with a friend who was looking at a Nook at Barnes and Noble. I listened to about half of the schpeel that the salesman was giving (just because I was mildly curious) but for the most part, I was browsing around the store.
Do you prefer to hold a book in your hands or an electronic reader?
I am a book girl 100%! I have downloaded books on to my computer maybe twice and the entire process made me loopy. I like holding a book in my hands. I enjoy turning the pages. I even enjoy folding down the corner of the page to hold my spot. Scrolling and pointing and clicking and all that does not feel like book reading for me.
Now I understand you can download some books for ninety-nine cents each but you have to pay almost $300 for the e-reader! By the time this whole thing becomes cost effective, I'm thinking the technology will have moved on and now you will have to spend even MORE money.
So how do you read? I'm not ready to give up my paper pages yet...

Dor, tristeza e o catedrático
Apatia, resignação, sobranceria, arrogância, incompetência. Estas são as palavras que marcam o actual Benfica na sua estrutura e enquanto clube.
Se aliarmos estas ao título do post temos o estado do nosso clube no seu todo.
Não há muito mais a dizer, as forças impedem um raciocínio lógico e coerente e o alongar na escrita pode resvalar para o insulto fácil e quiçá injusto, mas não consigo deixar de dizer algo que desde o final do jogo de ontem não me sai da memória: A carta em branco que foi passada por muitos Benfiquistas no inicio desta época perante os sinais evidentes de descontrolo emocional.

FORÇA BENFICA!
Hoje estamos todos tristes e desmotivados. Mas não podemos entregar tudo numa bandeja. A diferença entre um clube ganhador como os Corruptos e um clube que quer ser ganhador é a cabeça!!
Temos jogadores, temos treinador, temos adeptos...falta-nos CABEÇA!!! Eu ontem fui para o Estádio nervosíssimo, cheio de receio de perder. E como eu, pelos vistos, foram os jogadores e o JJ. Mas porquê?? Falta de confiança. Nós conseguimos transformar uma vantagem de 2-0 num desvantagem. Já em Eindhoven foi igual. Para o Benfica ter que defender uma vantagem é uma tortura. Estou convicto que se ontem fosse só um jogo e tivéssemos entrado para ganhar, pelo menos não tínhamos perdido.
O fcp transforma momentos maus em motivações, em garra, em raiva. Assim o fazem as equipas ganhadoras. Nós andamos a alimentar a raiva deles e isso só lhes dá força. Nós temos de ser iguais nesse aspecto. Uma derrota para eles é orgulho ferido e no jogo seguinte querem vingança, nós trememos e quando perdemos não queremos o jogo seguinte com medo.
Isto só se adquire ganhando, e isso não é fácil. É um hábito que é dificil criar. Mas nós adeptos temos de ser parte disso e não um obstáculo. Qual a melhor forma de reagir a esta derrota? Ganhar no Domingo e ganhar a Liga Europa. Até estas provas estarem decididas a nossa obrigação é gritar, apaludir, dar força!! Depois disso logo fazemos contas e despedimos jogadores, treinador, dirigentes...até lá apoio total!! Mesmo que não acreditem..não o mostrem!
FORÇA BENFICA!!! CARREGA BENFICA!!! E PLURIBUS UNUM!!

Nem sei que diga...
Vou tentar escrever este texto com a maior serenidade possível. Porque o que realmente me apetece escrever é só isto:
GRANDE VERGONHA! JESUS RUA!
Mas não vou escrever isso, e vou tentar ser sereno como prometi acima.
Parece-me infelizmente que o que escrevi neste blogue sobre Jesus no passado Novembro, e que eu tinha esperança que tivesse ficado ultrapassado naquela nossa muito boa fase da época entre Janeiro e Março, voltou a verificar-se, em força e com mais dor, porque vem no momento crucial da época.
Jesus não tem capacidade de liderança quando as coisas correm mal. Mesmo em Eindhoven, nada vi dele - vi foi um grande golo do Luisão que nos voltou a colocar no caminho certo.
E agora tenho mesmo de acrescentar algo - Jesus bloqueia quando tem de defrontar o fcp. Na cabeça dele, o fcp é melhor e o resultado normal contra eles é perder, como facilmente se percebe das suas declarações no final de cada uma da quatro (!) derrotas nossas contra esta equipa. Não é normal.
Tudo tem um tempo. Jesus foi mportante na conquista do campeonato passado, ninguém nega isso nem apaga isso; mas acho que o seu tempo no Benfica chegou ao fim. E digo isto consciente de que ainda podemos ganhar a Liga Europa, o que seria uma grande alegria e um excelente título, mas já não vem a tempo de modificar esta minha opinião.
Quatro derrotas em cinco jogos com o fcp, duas delas em casa, uma das outras por 5-0, dois títulos (supertaça e taça de portugal) perdidos em comfronto directo com eles. É demais, já chega, não aguento.
PS - aparentemente é off-topic, mas se virem bem não o é tanto; com tantos "buracos" no plantel, não haveria melhor forma de gastar o nosso dinheiro do que ir dar 5M€ por um nº10, que é só uma das posições em que estamos melhor servidos, com Aimar e Carlos Martins? Se continuarmos assim, receio que a próxima época venha a ser uma repetição desta.

It's okay to not be joined at the hip...
For twenty two years, Frank and I have had an odd aspect to our relationship; we don't share friends. What I mean by that is, we don't attract the same kind of people for our friends and we end up with two very different groups of people and spend a lot of time hanging out with our friends without each other. This recipe has worked FINE for all these years but lately, Frank has issues.
And it's about the band...
Of course it is...
Okay, let me start by saying that there is nothing really WRONG with these people. They are nice and they are not hill-billy rednecks like some people that he used to hang out with. The first time he brought me and Michael around the band was for a BBQ at one of the guy's homes. We walked in, Frank barely introduced us to anyone and then he left me alone to meet people.
I was not amused.
Now, I know I'm a grown woman; I usually make friends just fine on my own but it was a little intimidating and I was annoyed that he didn't even spend more than ten minutes at my side before deserting me! The next time we were all together it was similar. All of the guys have really young kids - at least 4-5 years YOUNGER than Michael. So that makes it hard to hang out with them because Michael is at an age where hanging out with "little kids" is not at all appealing. Add that to the fact that I also have a son who is living on his own and that all equals me having nothing in common with the wives.
I tried having conversations with them but it's like speaking two different languages - I don't speak toddler anymore and they have no idea what a teenager does. It makes for a great amount of lulls in the conversation.
Then you have to factor in the annoying 5-year old (who I never, ever, NEVER want to be around again) and it's all just a recipe for disaster.
So, whenever the band invites us to things, I don't want to go. Most times it works in my favor because by the time Frank remembers to tell me that they want to get together, I have other plans. BUT, then he won't go alone! I go to a LOT of places with people without him - cookouts, church events, Christmas parties, etc. and he doesn't seem to have a problem with making me go alone to these things but it is turning in to a huge issue for him to go with these people without me.
It's becoming a real issue and he's like "I don't understand why we all can't get along?" I want to hit him on the head with something heavy and remind him that he doesn't get along or even TRY to get along with most of the people that I know and I don't make a fuss over it, so leave me alone! I did manage to shove him out the door today to hang out with some of the band guys because I had way too much to do and I had warned him of it LONG before any invitation was issued.
He was still whining about it as he got in his car - "Are you sure you don't want to go? Do you want me to stay home?" I mean, it's sweet and all but if I'm going to take time out of my weekend when I have stuff to do, I want it to be to hang out with people that I actually want to be around and that I have stuff to converse about with.
Am I just being a mean girl?

Who will be the Easter host??
He's been out of the house for all of 2 weeks and he thinks he can just swoop in and steal a holiday. Who? Nick! That's right, he wants to have Easter at his house this year!
Sort of.
Basically, he wants all of us (meaning me, Frank, Michael and his girlfriend's family) to come to his house but for US to bring all of the food.
Really?
Now, I probably wouldn't have a hard time with this if the place was clean and smelled nice. I reminded him that by having civilized people over would mean he'd have to CLEAN his bathroom and have his roommates CLEAN their rooms, trash would have to be picked up off of the floor and actually put in a trash can AND it could NOT smell like armpit in there!
He's thinking about it.
I understand his excitement and really, I am having a hard time because I'm just not ready to be giving up so much. Although, it would me that I would NOT have to clean my house. That is appealing. BUT...I would STILL have to cook.

Power to shower in less than an hour!
Okay, so I'm at church on Sunday and ran in to an old and dear friend. I am now a greeter for the 10:45 service so I get to chat and be social with EVERYONE! I love it!
So we're talking and whatnot and she's like, "I really need an accountability partner and I think you would be awesome". So I'm intrigued and ask what for and she's like "Eating better and exercising".
Divine intervention...
How ironic because I, too, need an accountability partner who is struggling like I am! Many, many years ago we did this together and were using the "Power 90" workout. She was the one who got me hooked on it and when I asked what was so great about it she was like "Well, you can power to shower in less than an hour!" and that totally stayed with me! I'm hoping that we actually do this and that maybe, just maybe I'll get my big, giant butt off the couch (or office chair being that I'm working all week!) and get moving!
I'll keep you updated on our progress!

Notas soltas
Algumas notas após o jogo de ontem.
- O Kardec ontem parecia outro jogador, com mobilidade, confiança e eficácia. Esperemos que continue assim.
- O Aimar e o Carlos Martins estão os dois em grande forma. Talvez isso ajude a compensar a falta do Sálvio, embora o estilo de jogo tenha necessariamente de ser outro.
- Amarrar o Jara ao flanco direito é tirar-lhe 50% de eficácia.
- O Peixoto também parece outro, e poderá ser muito útil nesta ponta final.
- O Sidnei continua a ter acessos de excesso de confiança e desconcentrações que me deixam muitas dúvidas sobre a real possibilidade de algum dia vir a ser um titular indiscutível no Benfica.
- O Luís Filipe poderá, a meu ver, poder ser uma razoável alternativa para médio direito, com o Maxi atrás. Pelo menos centra bem, e não tendo de defender tanto compromete menos.
- Eu sei que falar é fácil, mas o Yartey não será pelo menos tão bom como o Fernandez, por quem demos 1,5M€? Porque é que Jesus não mostra para com os jovens da nossa formação metade da disponibilidade e vontade de os fazer progredir que mostra para com os miúdos argentinos e brasileiros que vê na televisão? Porque é que temos no plantel principal o Fernandez e o Filipe Menezes e não o Yartey, o David Simão, o Nelson Oliveira?

Scary new week...
So this week I will be working a one-week temp job at the local newspaper. I have to admit I am terrified of the whole thing. I went in for training on Thursday and Friday and after the first hour on Thursday, I almost climbed out the bathroom window in tears!
Let me start by saying that I know the owners of the paper and when we talked, I was under the impression that I would just be doing some basic secretarial stuff like typing. We had no dialogue on what experience I had or what kind of training I had, it was just "hey we need help" and I was like "I have time on my hands". SO...I arrive at the office and find out that I know NOTHING. Nada. Nil. Zilch. Zero.
Did I mention that I knew nothing?
Okay, so first off, they use Macs. I use a PC. I have only ever used a PC. Macs are foreign to me and so even as I type this (on my home PC) I still have no real comprehension of how to use the Mac. And there is no real typing in this job (there is some, but it is minute comparatively) it is TYPESETTING. Two very different things. Essentially, I am having to work on newspaper layout, on a time crunch for publication, in a format that is like Greek to me.
To say that it is intimidating would be an understatement.
So, I start tomorrow and work until Friday. I'm terrified. I'm nervous. I wish I would just get a darn book deal and have to fly to New York immediately! Is that realistic??

A Letter to the Band...
Dear Band,
First, I would like to say congrats on getting the demo cd going and for organizing a photo shoot. Most bands don't get the ambition to do these things so kudos to you for getting them done.
However, some issues have arisen in the process that I feel need to be addressed. First, I don't think that any ONE person should be making appointments/arrangements/agreements for the entire band. The studio that was chosen was NOT worth the money that was spent and if SOMEONE had taken the time to research a little bit more or maybe if they actually LISTENED to their fellow bandmates concerns, maybe things would have gone smoother.
And also on the studio topic, I don't see why Frank had to contribute ANYTHING to the extra time that had to be paid for on the mixing process when the studio LOST his tracks! So basically, you three other guys got to tweak your parts in the songs to your hearts content while Frank was left with nothing and has to be happy with whatever happened to be on there for the drums.
I had the opportunity to look at the over 500 pictures that were taken last week at the photo shoot. I have one question...did the photographer ever LOOK through the camera? I mean, there were a LOT of pictures that clearly this guy was just clicking without seeing what in the world was going on. I realize that he is not a REAL photographer and was doing this to help you guys out but really, that was four hours wasted.
And to the member who decided to "play" with the photos to show the band some "possibilities" of what HE thinks should be done? GET A CLUE! You chose the WORST pose in the entire batch of pictures! AND...on top of that...I don't think your graphics are all that great. The location that YOU chose was not good in any capacity and really, again, if you LISTENED to anyone else's suggestions then maybe things would go better instead of you continually wasting everyone's time.
And finally, band member (and you know who you are!), do not call my home, or Frank's cell, while he's at work to DEMAND that he meet you to pick up a CD that you burned. Especially one that no one ASKED you to burn! We have a life OUTSIDE of the band. When Frank is working a job that is 45 minutes away from home and you live 30 minutes in the opposite direction of our home, don't give him grief because he can't jump for you and actually wants to come HOME after work and eat dinner and relax after climbing up and down a ladder all day painting an entire exterior of a house while you, CHUBBO, are sitting at a desk photo-shopping BAD pictures!
Grow up, get a life. This band is not preparing for their North American tour. You've played in public TWICE. There is no reason to be making unreasonable demands on people and then pouting and sending nasty text messages when you don't get your way.
Sincerely,
Fed Up Band Wife

POST DO TC
Quando se avalia um plantel temos tendência a dar uma importância maior aos jogadores que fazem a diferença no campo em detrimento dos que sendo bons jogadores e úteis no plantel, por si só, não ganham jogos e campeonatos. No início desta temporada se pudesse escolher que jogadores gostaria que não se lesionassem, vários nomes me viriam à cabeça no imediato, estando certo que estes não variariam muito entre os vários Benfiquistas a quem fosse colocado esse dilema.
Quando Ruben Amorim se lesionou senti que faria falta, pois era a única alternativa no plantel a Maxi para o lugar de defesa direito e constituía uma boa alternativa no nosso meio campo, contudo não era um daqueles que me faria tremer só de pensar na hipótese. A evolução da época em função das várias provas em que estamos inseridos e da natural necessidade de gestão dos jogadores mais utilizados espelhou a importância de Ruben Amorim no plantel disponível para ajudar a equipa, com a lesão de Salvio e a ausência total no plantel de um jogador que possa render na ala direita a falta de Ruben Amorim é elevada a um patamar impensável ao ponto de afirmar que a ausência destes dois jogadores condiciona e muito as nossas possibilidades de sucesso na Liga Europa e mesmo nas taças Nacionais.

Dimensão europeia
A equipa de futebol fez-nos sofrer mais do que estávamos à espera, mas tudo acabou por seguir a lógica de ter vencido o mais forte. Estamos felizes e gostaria de chamar a atenção aos benfiquistas para um aspecto: neste momento, temos quatro equipas nas meias-finais de competições europeias. É certo que só o futsal está na mais importante (e, no caso desta modalidade, única), mas, além do futebol, também o hóquei em patins e o andebol estão a uma eliminatória de jogar a final. Que grande clube!

And it's out of my hands...
Okay, so today was a productive day. I made every attempt to go back to bed after Michael left for school but it just wasn't in the cards so I eventually made myself get UP and start moving around.
I finished polishing my first three chapters for submission and then did a little research and realized that I needed to hit Staples for better quality paper to print it out on and to get address labels so that everything would look professional. By the time I did that AND hit Target - because really, it's the law. If you go to Staples, you have to hit the Target that is right next door. Then I came home, had a little lunch and THEN sat back down at the computer to do the rest of the work.
The dreaded Synopsis.
It is a filthy, eight letter word and I HATE it.
This is my downfall with all of my submission, well, that and the query letter stump me pretty good and wouldn't you know it, I took classes on BOTH of those things in the last two months and it was with the same SUCKY teacher who taught me NOTHING. Thank you, sucky teacher. I almost feel the need to print your name here so that no one else will take your stupid classes and waste their money.
But I digress...I sat down and stared at the blank screen as if I was in a coma with my eyes open for about two hours. Then, I reached a decision: I could type or I could throw up. I hate to vomit and clearly I hate to do that MORE than the Synopsis so I started to type. And I sit here now so you know I survived it!
I typed up the cover letter and printed out the first three chapters AND the synopsis, banded it all up in a rubber band (because that is what the publisher asked for) and put it all in a Priority Mail envelope along with a SASE and cruised on over to the post office and let it fly.
Now my friends...we wait.

Comunicação
Parece-me que nesta guerra de palavras, comunicados e outras intervenções, o Benfica deve definitivamente optar por uma posição de grande sobriedade e contenção.
Devemos falar pouco, poucas vezes e só quando houver algo de realmente importante a dizer, suportado com factos tão irrefutáveis quanto possível.
E devemos sobretudo agir, sempre que a oportunidade surja.
O fcp vive há anos de criar polémicas, alimenta-se disso, consegue atenção dos media. É uma guerra que não conseguimos ganhar, porque tal como lembrava o D'Arcy há dias, se discutimos com um idiota descendo ao seu nível, ele ganha-nos em experiência.
Os dirigentes, responsáveis, técnicos e jogadores do Benfica devem deixá-los a falar sozinhos, e sobretudo nunca deverão responder directamente às atoardas e provocações que daquelas bandas vêm.
Há insultos? Agressões? Apedrejamentos? Processo em tribunal. Mentiras? Acusações infundadas? Desmentimo-las suportados em factos, em linguagem simples e clara, sem as "ironias" e metáforas duvidosas de que eles tanto gostam. O resto? Ignora-se.
Falar pouco, agir muito, e sempre bem.
Vão ver que eles se cansam.
PS - adicionado dia 14
Só para ilustrar o que eu pretendo dizer, ontem o nosso Director de Comunicação fez exactamente o que eu acho que não se deve fazer; em primeiro lugar veio mais uma vez responder a um comunicado do fcp, ou seja, continuamos na absurda "guerra de respostas" e ainda por cima a reboque do nosso adversário; e pior ainda, não resisitiu a incluir na resposta uma "ironia" sobre um livro de um escritor espanhol sobre dragões. Desnecessário. Volto a repetir: 1 - nunca lhes responder; 2 - comunicar em linguagem simples e clara, sem "floreados" de gosto e eficácia duvidosos, e só quando estritamente necessário.

Post-Pitch Crash...
Okay, so today was THE day. Pitch day. It was a very unique experience, to be sure and I am mentally and kind of physically exhausted from the whole thing.
First, we were instructed to be in the online chat room at 1:45. I went in at 1:37. I was a little anxious to say the least. Soon all of the finalists were in there along with two moderators and then eventually the editor. One of the moderators walked us through the procedure of going from the chat "waiting room" to the room with the editor.
This was a relatively simple procedure - there was a bright, neon pink bar at the top of the page that said "WAITING ROOM" that you clicked on and a drop down menu came up where you then clicked on "ROOM 1". Simple, right? Apparently not. There was one woman that it took literally 20 minutes to understand this and even after that, she kept leaving the waiting room and going in to room 1 while pitches were going on!!
If I were the moderator, I would have stopped and told that woman that she was too stupid to pitch and made her leave! But I'm a mean girl and apparently most other people have more patience than I do! Who knew?
So we eventually got started and can I just say that it seemed like I was the only American finalist!! The women were from New Zealand, Queensland, the UK and Canada! Wild to be chatting on line with women all over the world! Cool.
So we're starting and the first woman gets called in to the pitch room and the rest of us were left in the waiting room to "chat". It was fun and I was the third woman. I pretty much wanted to vomit at that point and was shaking and hyperventilating. Thank God it wasn't a visual chat.
The editor asked questions, I typed the answers and it all happened in ten minutes. that's all you have. And you know what sucks?? Ten minutes is totally NOT enough time to say all that you want to say when you are trying to tell all of the wonders of your book! She was very gracious and did her best to put me at ease. But when it was all over and I went back out in to the waiting room, I felt a great let down!
It was over too fast! I didn't get to say everything that I wanted to say! I spent most of the time shaking like a leaf and typing like I only had thumbs! BUT...at the end of it all...I was asked to submit THREE chapters and a synopsis. I am beyond thrilled. I feel so blessed and excited about the whole thing but I have to admit that a teeny-tiny part of me was kind of hoping that they would just love me to death and want to sign me immediately.
Apparently, they don't do that.
So now I have to polish my work like a mad woman and I would like to just thank fellow author (published) and awesome woman, Emilie Rose, for her support of me and her advice. Years ago, I had read one of her books and noticed that she lived here in NC and I left her a note on her website telling her that I enjoyed her latest book and she invited me for coffee. since then, she has answered MULTIPLE questions of mine and today she gave me advice that I desperately needed. So, thank you, Emilie. You are a true lady and an amazing writer!

O campeonato do apagão
Então não é que em vez de valorizarem o que de bom têm vêm valorizar uma atitude, frise-se, mesquinha, mas tão insignificante e irrelevante, como outras que já se passaram lá fora, como já ocorreu em Camp Nou ou em San Siro.
E eu a pensar que isto era o campeonato da potência do Hulk, do faro do Falcão, do relógio suíço do Moutinho ou da competência técnica do André.
Se fosse adepto desse clube ficaria confuso com esta lógica. Enquanto Benfiquista fico elucidado, é que eles não deixam de ter razão. Isto de facto foi o campeonato do apagão, mas não o da Luz, foi do apagão de determinados árbitros que em determinados jogos, em momentos decisivos, se apagaram das suas competências técnicas e isenção que deveriam ter enquanto "profissionais" do apito.
Isto só lá vai quando o PC desaparecer do mapa! Há quem lhe seguirá as pisadas mas nunca será a mesma coisa, como se pode ver por este exemplo.

Isto de facto foi o campeonato do apagão, mas não o da Luz, foi do apagão de determinados árbitros que em determinados jogos, em momentos decisivos, se apagaram das suas competências técnicas e isenção que deveriam ter enquanto "profissionais" do apito.
Isto só lá vai quando o PC desaparecer do mapa! Há quem lhe seguirá as pisadas mas nunca será a mesma coisa, como se pode ver por este exemplo.

Watch...it's gonna be all the craze!
Okay, so I'm getting back on the bandwagon (again) and working out. I have my trusty treadmill, I have the original Power 90 DVD workout and I have the Walk Away the Pounds series. With a little luck, these three things will get my big ol' butt in shape and help me drop some pounds.
So I was talking to a friend today at church who has lost a LOT of pounds and I asked her how she did it and she said walking. Then she was power walking and now she runs. I'm never going to be a runner and I'm okay with that. When I mentioned that I have a treadmill she said how boring she found it and so I told her about my innovative new workout technique with the treadmill that helps me get it done.
Tread-dancing.
Yes, you read that right, TREAD-dancing. While bee-bopping along on the treadmill to my favorite 80's disco, I have also choreographed some awesome arm-work to go along with it. All those years on the kickline using the pom-poms has FINALLY paid off!
In all seriousness, I like to do something other than just swinging my arms and this was more fun. Can you imagine a room full of people on the treadmills at the gym doing this? And I'm not talking about a routine like those guys who were the YouTube sensation a couple of years ago who choreographed an entire dance routine with 8 treadmills, I'm just talking about arm movements that go with the music (think "Greased Lightning" from "Grease"). It's fun...I'd have to lose about 20 pounds before I'd do it in front of a mirror or other people but it keeps the treadmill workout from getting too boring.
And really, isn't that what exercise is all about??? Look for this at a gym near you in 2012.

Unam-se
Não tenho por hábito criticar Benfiquistas, apesar de muitas vezes não concordar com muito do que se diz, aprendi a meter para dentro e a respeitar opiniões diferentes desde que devidamente fundamentadas. As opiniões que não são fundamentadas, simplesmente deixei de lhes dar importância, contudo o que vivemos nos últimos tempos tem-me deixado boquiaberto e sem forças para me aguentar:
Passamos parte do ano a criticar o fcp e as suas atitudes pouco “desportivas”, e num jogo em que devíamos demonstrar essa douta superioridade dando uma imagem diferente da que infelizmente rodeia o nosso futebol, temos uma atitude pequena e pouco representativa do cariz de humildade que deveria nortear o nosso clube;
A meio da semana nos quartos de final da Liga Europa arrancamos uma exibição de encher o olho, demos um passo enorme rumo às meias finais da prova, que só uma verdadeira hecatombe impedirá o concretizar desse objectivo, e os Benfiquistas durante e após o jogo entretêm-se a vaiar o nosso guarda-redes. Em vez de enaltecer uma exibição, dar confiança e apoio aos nossos, damos importância e sobrevalorizamos uma acção menos feliz de um jogador nosso e gostava de frisar a palavra nosso;
Ontem num jogo para o campeonato (já perdido e sem objectivos que não sejam a defesa da nossa camisola) é efectuada gestão de recursos demonstrando uma vez mais quais os nossos principais objectivos, aproveitando para dar minutos a vários jogadores, permitindo aferir da sua qualidade (ou não) e perante o resultado final vejo e ouço reacções extemporâneas de critica gratuita a tudo e a todos. A opinião em função do resultado é por demais evidente, mas alguém no seu perfeito juízo poderá afirmar que o Benfica não fez o suficiente para ganhar o jogo? Tivemos inúmeras oportunidades de golo, tivemos inúmeras situações de jogadores isolados em direcção à baliza contrária que foram travados pelos árbitros auxiliares e em dois erros defensivos sofremos dois golos;
Nem tudo está bem no nosso clube, sou daqueles que acha que existem muitas coisas más no clube e os resultados desportivos são o corolário disso mesmo, entretemo-nos em grande parte da época a procurar culpados fora de portas em vez de vermos o que de muito mau se vai passando dentro delas, no entanto não estamos em tempo de criticar mas sim de reunir. No final da época temos tempo para apontar, criticar e sugerir, agora é tempo de apoiar e carregar com a equipa ao colo rumo a uma final Europeia e à vitória nas taças Nacionais. Unam-se em volta de um objectivo comum e esqueçam ambições pessoais e eventuais ódios de estimação. O Benfica é o que mais importa.
