R G B: October 2011

Uma boa expulsão

Tenho lido, aqui e ali, críticas ao Jorge Jesus pelo reacção que levou à sua expulsão no jogo frente ao Basileia. Concordo que seria preferível que o nosso treinador tivesse sido capaz de se controlar de forma a evitar uma suspensão.
No entanto, tendo em conta que o jogo já estava nos descontos, a vitória assegurada, a preparação dos jogos é feita nos dias que antecedem a sua realização e, com os meios tecnológicos à disposição, a comunicação à distância é, não só simples, como muito difícil de evitar, esta é daquelas expulsões que poderá acarretar mais benefícios do que significar um problema.
E por uma questão muito simples!
Os jogadores, ao verem o seu treinador explodir daquela forma, não sem antes certificar-se do estado do seu atleta, puderam constar que, não importando as consequências, têm alguém que os lidera e, mais importante, os protege sem limites. Alguém que não só é exigente como protector. Não um pai ou um amigo, mas um treinador, na verdadeira acepção da palavra.
Na próxima ocasião em que os jogadores forem alvos da ira do seu treinador, estará latente que essa ira será dirigida bem mais fortemente a quem os atacar. Esta reacção, por ser genuína, vale por mil repetições da expressão tão usada, mas geralmente pouco sentida, "os meus jogadores".
Os jogadores do Benfica são os jogadores do Jorge Jesus. Eles já o ouviram, sentiram-no e sabem-no! E para que dúvidas não restem, ele não se importará de ser expulso todos os jogos se os ganhar. Alguns comentadores evocarão que, para ele, o fim justifica os meios. Os jogadores somente reterão um verbo: "Ganhar"!

Can you take the critique?

Okay, so there have been some stumbling blocks on the way to self publication and I decided to not look at them as negative things. It's not easy. One of the things that I did was find a critique partner.

One of the writer's websites that I belong to offers that service. You sign up that you are looking for a critique partner, list what you write, what kind of stories you like and don't like and then they put out the list like once a month and you can see if there is anyone who matches what you are looking for. Actually, someone contacted me.

I was a little hesitant at first because this is where the rubber hits the road. What if this person reads my work and tells me it stinks? What if they have all these suggestions and there is no way for me to incorporate them without changing my entire story? Well, the upside to that is that, really, I don't have to listen. They are suggestions and as such, I can say "thanks" and just not use them. But I have to tell you, so far so good.

In return of reading my work, I read theirs. We are doing this three chapters at a time and I have to tell you, it's challenging. First because my time is already so limited and secondly because the writing teacher in me came out in full-force when I read their first three chapters that after I sent them back with my suggestions, I felt bad. I told Frank how I felt and he was like "Well, kiss that gig goodbye. I doubt you'll hear form them again."

But I did. We're on to our second set of three chapters and I am looking forward to getting some feedback since I'm trying to bulk up the story by 100 pages - which is no easy task. This could be the best use of what I thought was negative time. Who knew?

Nope, nothing there...

I used to consider myself to be a fairly creative person. I could write for hours on end, have multiple stories going on, scrapbook, cook, blog...I mean, it just came easy. Now? Not so much.

I am gearing up for NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) and I cannot focus on any kind of a story. Oh, and FYI, I even booked my little writing retreat cottage so that I COULD write endlessly without interruption but now I have a feeling I will be curled up in the fetal position eating Chinese food and BBQ potato chips while I cry for an entire weekend.

Where did my creative spark go? True, I have been just a wee-bit distracted with the horrors that are my life right now but you think that would create some sort of fun world in my head for me to escape to, right?

Clearly, no.

Even coming up with what to make for dinner makes my brain hurt! Although, I did concoct some KILLER seafood quesadillas the other night. Seriously, they were so good I almost made myself sick. I both love and hate when that happens. That was the most inspired I've been in quite some time and for someone who is a foodie who likes to cook, that's sad.

I long for the days where my brain functioned normally. And really hope that this, too, isn't one of those pesky signs of aging...that would really suck.

Seriously, Entrecard, you're killing me!

You know, I have a love/hate relationship with Entrecard. I do really well with it for a time and then I get away from it and it seems like when I am hitting my stride and doing great with my drops everyday, they start having technical issues.

This last week has been one of those times.

I have had my standard hour of drops go closer to two because the widgets won't load or the sites won't load...whatever the issue is, it is killing me!! I just want to go and do my drops and get on with it but no. For a site that's been doing this for years, they still can't seem to get themselves together.

The site gives you the whole "We're sorry...technical difficulties...blah, blah, blah..." but whatever the case, I'm not feeling too kindly towards them right now. So if I haven't dropped on you in a few days, please don't blame me, put the blame where it belongs...with Entrecard!!!

Seriously, it's NOT a competition!

Hello, my name is Stace and I am poor.

This is not an invitation for you to compete with me on your level of poorness, too. This is not an opening for you to tell me why you are poorer than me or why your lack of money is worse than mine.

Remember the days when we all wanted to do BETTER than one another? What happened to those days?? Why am I ranting about this? Because recently I had a conversation with someone that I am close to and just sort of shared very briefly what's been going on with us. I didn't go in to great detail, it was just like "Things are really tough right now and I'm stressed, blah, blah, blah..."

Their response was to tell me about how they returned from a vacation to have two of their utilities shut off and how much they are struggling to keep up with their bills. Okay, fine. I sort of felt that it was relatable and we were done. BUT...I come to find out that it was all a big, fat LIE. No utilities were shut off, no struggling. I mean, really? I get it if you were trying to make me feel better if you were genuinely struggling but this level of competition or "I'm poorer than you" just seems juvenile.

I don't want anyone to compete with me on this. It's ridiculous. I know that there are people in worse condition than we are or who have struggled with the same things, I get it. Don't create drama and lie so that you can seem relatable! That's just insane!

Oy...I just want to have a normal life again...

She Taxi

So recently I was contacted by this website called "SheTaxi" about advertising here on All Stace and in return they would promote me on their site. I had never heard of them before and decided to check them out. After a couple of issues with getting their badge on here (it's here but it doesn't work for some reason), we are a go.

What is SheTaxi? Well according to their site they are an on-line vehicle taking women through life's journey. We're your resource for life's tools and conversations that go beyond the "superficial". SheTaxi is dedicated to helping women thrive.

Pretty cool, right?

So once I got them set up here on the blog, I went to the site to check them out. You need to create an account - which is no big deal - and then I wen to explore. There was so much to read, see and do that I think it's going to take a while to navigate.

Essentially, if you are familiar with Blog Her, it's kind of similar. They promote women's blogs. They have communities, you can invite friends, they offer advise. It's a cool place to check out. With topics/tabs like SheNess, Motherhood, Daughterhood, Friends, Coupling, Working, Well-Being and SelfHood there is something out there for every woman.

If you have time, click over to SheTaxi and check them out.

Lily's Disneyland Surprise!

This was just so dang cute that I had to share it. I mean, this little girl just tugged at my heart. The fact that it's Disney-themed is just an extra perk! Enjoy!

Just in case you missed it...

"Happy Endings"

You all know that I am not a "sit in front of the TV all night" kind of gal. I have my select few shows that I like and then I move on. Well, a little over a week ago I had finished watching "Modern Family" and I was sitting no the couch doing me entrecard drops and was too lazy to change the channel and so I left it where it was and on came "Happy Endings".

Have you seen this show?? I was cracking up! It's a familiar premise with the group of friends casting but it just made me laugh like crazy! Here's the synopsis from the ABC website:

Forget who gets to keep the ring -- when a couple splits, the real question is, who gets to keep the friends? In this modern comedy, a couple's break-up will complicate all of their friends' lives and make everyone question their choices. When life throws you for a curve, hold on tight to the people you love. Every circle of friends has someone who's the gravitational center. For years, perfect couple Dave and Alex drew their friends in and held them together. Now that they've split, does this group have the stuff to stay together? Or do Max, Brad, Jane and Penny have to choose sides? Suddenly every event is a negotiation... like, who gets to go on the annual ski trip? There are a lot of big questions to be answered, but this group has been together so long, somehow, little by little, they'll figure out how to hold on, even though their center is split up. It helps that Dave and Alex have agreed to stay friends. But there will definitely be other complications down the road. This show isn't afraid to ask the embarrassing personal questions that inevitably arise in every long-term, close-knit group of friends.

Happy Endings stars Eliza Coupe (Scrubs) as Jane, Elisha Cuthbert (24) as Alex, Zachary Knighton (FlashForward) as Dave, Adam Pally as Max, Damon Wayans, Jr. (The Underground) as Brad and Casey Wilson (Saturday Night Live) as Penny.

This is actually the second season that has just started and I am anxious to watch the first one and totally get in to the groove of what's going on. Although, to be honest, I felt completely okay with the whole thing tuning in for the season premier.

If you are looking for a great comedy and you're already watching "Modern Family", stick around for the following 30 minutes (and then turn to USA to watch "Psych"). Wednesdays are a great night to laugh!

專輯簡介：
2010年7月19日に韓国で発売された2nd Albumのタイトル曲「LUCIFER」は強烈で洗練されたリズム、すっきりとした清涼感が絶妙にブレンドされた SHINee のキラーチューン。ヴォーカルのハモリによるリフが特徴であり、切れのあるパフォーマンスと相まって、絶大な人気を誇っている。曲調はBreak Danceが流行した80年代の Electronica を基盤に、メロディとシンセの旋律を現代的な要素で構成した Urban Electronica。作曲・アレンジは、韓国を代表する作曲家 "ユ・ヨンジン"、そして、アメリカの作曲家 RYAN JHUN、ADAM KAPIT、BEBE REXHA らが共同で制作。歌詞の世界観としては、自己中心的な想いを愛だと勘違いして脅迫と懐柔を繰り返す、あたかも天使と悪魔の2つの顔を持った恋人を「LUCIFER」に例えている、そんなストーリー。日本語の歌詞では、その愛の解釈を胸に抱く一途な想いで描いている。揺れ動く心情や葛藤する愛を独特な表現で綴っているところに注目して欲しい。

また、カップリングに収録の「Love Like Oxygen」は2008年8月28日に発売された1st Album「SHINee WORLD」のタイトル曲。デンマークで人気を得ているMARTIN (MARTIN HOBERG HEDEGGAARD)のヒット曲「Show the world」をSHINeeだけの色で新しくリメイク。マイケル・ジャクソンを連想させるディスコサウンドとファンキーなリズム、そして、ブラックミュージックで使われるドラムビートが絶妙にブレンドされ、グルーヴィーなサウンドが誕生した。作曲は前作「JULIETTE」の作曲家でもある有名作曲家MIKKEL REMEE SIGVARDTが担当。また、「酸素」という響きと、日本で言う「空気のような」という比喩的表現の最上級という解釈で、「酸素のような」という表現を日本語詞にも取り入れ、SHINeeが持つ純愛感を絶妙に表現している。 SHINeeの3rd Singleに収録されている「LUCIFER」「Love Like Oxygen」は共に「愛」がテーマになっている。歌詞のストーリーにある様々な「愛」の表現を完璧に歌いこなす姿や中毒性のあるダンスビートと完璧なダンスパフォーマンスで、今作もSHINeeは日本の多くのリスナーに衝撃を与えることだろう。また、ビジュアルにおいても、洗練されていながら独創的、前衛的なファッション、アートワークで魅了していく彼らは国や言語を超越し、全てにおいて最高のパフォーマンスを届けている!

GO TEAM SPIRIT!!

An unfamiliar phenomenon happened here in my house this week. My middle schooler asked if he could stay after school and go to the football game.

What the WHAT???

I know, completely bizarre. No one in this house is a sports fan or participant. Well, we watch hockey but only if the NY Rangers are playing. But I digress, Michael has always been athletically "gifted" and I say gifted because to the rest of us here in the house, he's a marvel. But I'm not sporty or outdoorsy, Nick had no interest in team sports whatsoever and Frank just...well, never wanted to do the sports thing.

So here's my boy, with his money that he's saved, telling us that he has the $4 for his ticket and could he please go to the game. How could I say no? We made a plan, he told us which friends he was going with, he had his cell phone and knew the time we were going to pick him up. When he got home, he was fairly GLOWING. He had a great time, was psyched about his school's team winning and talked about all of the friends that he saw there...it was amazing.

I am thinking that this time next year I will be sitting in the bleachers cheering him on, myself. It's kind of a cool thought...

Work...issues

I have a friend on Facebook who often complains that one of her co-workers sings all the time. She's not opposed to singing in general, she's opposed to BAD singing that goes on all day, all the time. I think that would definitely grate on my nerves after a while but what about a co-worker with, shall we say, more offensive habits?

Okay, I work with someone who is well aware that they have digestive "issues" and yet doesn't seem to care that when they eat certain things, their body makes certain sounds that are EXTREMELY offensive to the rest of us. Yes, I'm talking about burping and farting. There, I've said it. It's not a once in a while thing, it is daily. They apologize, say 'excuse me' but basically, it makes me throw up a little with each sound they make because...and here's the kicker...when they sit down to eat the offensive food, they ADMIT that this is not good for them and they are eating it anyway.

THAT IS WRONG ON EVERY LEVEL!

If you want to eat stuff that makes you...make noise, do it at home! Have it for dinner! Why would you do that to the people around you? We have ALL complained about it and they laugh! You can't blame cluelessness because we have all said "STOP EATING THAT!" and told them why!

I've been temped to go to the bosses but what do you say? How do you, as an adult and without laughing, say that your co-workers digestive problems are becoming a problem for you? Is there a way to say that without sounding stupid or petty? I just don't know...

Um pequeno apontamento

Até ao momento, o Sport Lisboa e Benfica atingiu os seguintes objectivos possíveis:
- Entrada na fase de grupos da Champions League;
- Conquista do Troféu António Prata em basquetebol;
- Conquista da supertaça de futsal;
- Conquista da supertaça de Voleibol;

This blog is brought to you by the letter "F"

So I'm on the laptop the other night and I went to log in to my email account. I signed in and got an error message that my password was incorrect. Okay, fine, I typed it again. Still wrong. This went on or quite a while and I tried not to freak out because Road Runner is sometimes funky. I put the laptop down and went over to the desktop.

Next day I pick up the laptop and go to sign on and it says that my Windows password is incorrect. I kid you not. So now I'm freaking out because there is no way for me to retrieve that password because I cannot find the disc and pretty much was having a nervous breakdown because everything that I've written is on here and I stupidly had never made back up discs. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

After much yelling and crying and generally losing my mind I decided to try one more time. I typed in my password SLOWLY. I watched as each character appeared on the screen and lo and behold...the F key would not type! The letter F key is sticking and I cannot get it to unstick! You have no idea how difficult it was to even type this post!

Crazy, I tell you...just crazy!!!

Don't be offended if I put my fingers in my ear and ignore you...

I know, I know...I'm depressing to listen to (or read) these days but seriously things have got to get better eventually.

Deep down, I can be very petty. I don't believe that to be a good thing but there it is. I don't basque in others misfortune or anything but I do struggle with listening to all of the good things that are going on in other people's lives when mine is falling apart.

For example, right now four people I know went on fabulous vacations. Basically, I do not begrudge them their vacations, but I am having a VERY hard time wanting to sit and talk about them, and hear about them. Three of the four are most gracious in this way; the fourth? Not so much. They want to cram their vacation down my throat.

You see, it wasn't JUST a vacation, it was a FABULOUS vacation. It was the BEST vacation. They had the BEST place to stay and had the BEST food and they spent SO MUCH money and it was TOTALLY worth it. By the third sentence I wanted to scream. I mean, I'm sitting here eating canned soup for the third day in a row and so your little "All-you-can-eat-lobster-fest" is really not appealing to me on any level.

Am I wrong? Am I just overly sensitive? But would you go to someone who is homeless and brag about your trip to Paris? Would you walk through the pediatric ward in the hospital and tell the parents there how healthy and wonderful your kids are? I just think that if we're going to talk about it, have a little sensitivity, you know? I will politely ask how your trip was (because it's the elephant in the room) but we do not need to spend ENDLESS hours talking about it, do we?

This is where the mean-girl in me fights to come out and just smack somebody.

Amazingly enough, time does NOT stand still...

As a parent, you have the responsibility of teaching certain life necessities to your children. How to walk, how to talk, how to have good manners at the table, tie your shoes, tell time, etc. Then, as your child gets older and goes to school, the teacher then reinforces all of these things.

How is it, then, that I happen to have a child with NO sense of time??? I mean, we have a discussion DAILY on time: it's time to get up, it's time to get ready for school, it's time to go to the bus stop, it's time to do your homework, it's time for dinner and it's time for bed. We are fairly routine-oriented people. Wake up is at 6:30, he leaves for the bus at 7:13, homework is to be started at 5:00, dinner is promptly at 7:00 and bedtime is 10:00.

It doesn't seem to matter what is going on but whenever I mention the time the response is usually "WHAT? ALREADY?" Yes, son, time does not stop because you are sleeping, eating, playing a video game or whatever. I'm getting kind of tired of the whole darn thing. I mean, we have clocks in every room - sometimes more than one! What time it is and what that time signifies should come to no great surprise DAILY.

I think it's time for me but him a timer...

Se tiverem mais informação, é bem vinda!

"Surprises" in the mail...

A couple of years ago, someone had broken in to my car right here in our driveway. It kind of ticked me off because the car is parked practically right outside my bedroom window and Frank is a nightowl who stays up until 3-4 in the morning and neither of us had heard anything.

It was a Monday morning when Frank was driving Michael to school when they both "thought" something was missing, but decided to say nothing to me. The following morning, after driving Michael to school, Frank said "Did you take the DVD players out of the car?" I had not and so I called the cops.

Since we didn't know when the actual theft had occurred, the cops took our statement and pretty much told us that there was little to no chance of finding the people responsible and that there had been a rash of car breakins in the area. Good-bye and good luck.

I was not happy. They were dual screened portable DVD players and we usually only used them on long car trips but after our last one to wherever, the boys wanted them to stay in the car or were too lazy to take them out, whatever. They cost $179 and that's not money that we usually have to spare. I filed a claim with our insurance company but with our deductible, we weren't getting anything.

Yesterday in the mail I get a letter from a lawyer's office. It scared the crap out of me because with all that's going on lately, I was sure that someone was after me for not paying something. I open it up and after reading the letter like a half a dozen times it turns out that the car thief was actually CAUGHT, has been in jail and is now getting ready to be released and has been ordered to pay us the $179! I have no idea if we'll actually ever SEE that money but I find it odd that we were never contacted to be let known that the police had actually caught anyone!

I'm not holding out much hope but it would be nice to get that money back...maybe soon...

O burro sou eu?

Depois de duas visitas ao triste passado de finais do século XX (os mais tristes anos da existência do Benfica), regressemos à actualidade e ao apoio de Luís Filipe Vieira a Fernando Gomes. Tal como aconteceu quando o portista concorreu à presidência da Liga, não compreendo. Quando se trata de futebol, não consigo confiar num portista (não é necessário explicar porquê, pois não?). E, por isso, não compreendo como pode o presidente do meu clube confiar. Fernando Gomes ocupa (ou ocupará) estes cargos no seu próprio interesse e, não duvidemos, também para defender os interesses do FC Porto. Tudo o que se passou na época de 2010/2011 prova-o. Então porquê este apoio inequívoco? Não percebo e acredito que a maioria dos benfiquistas também não entende. O mínimo que Luís Filipe Vieira nos deve é uma explicação convincente. Infelizmente, não acredito que o faça. Se não foi capaz de nos elucidar quando das eleições na Liga...

If you haven't read it yet, you should!

My time as a cheerleader is coming to an end and I'm kind of sad about the whole thing. I never quite made it to the top of the list - although I was cheerleader of the week once! - but I had so much fun doing this, you cannot even imagine.

I learned a lot about marketing and publishing that I know is going to help me with my own writing journey. I think that if you like contemporary fiction and enjoy a good romance, then you should definitely check out Susan Mallery and her Fools Gold series. "Only His" was a great book with a couple of different stories going on at once and actually had me laughing out loud quite a few times.

So if you're looking for a good read this weekend, check out "Only His".

Ainda o Vale e Azevedo... Será possível?

(Comentário no blog Novo Geração Benfica em resposta a um post e posterior comentário do autor, o Eagle01 - Que saudades do GB... Redmoon vem para este se quiseres...)

Vejam bem, coitadinho do Vale e Azevedo, só foi condenado por peculato num crime e falsificação de assinaturas noutro...
Eu assino esta merda com o meu nome e toda a gente, se quiser, sabe quem sou. Tenho uma noção muito clara, sustentada na realidade, para afirmar, sem quaisquer dúvidas, que o Benfica, pós Vale e Azevedo, era de tal forma diferente, para pior, que a blogosfera inteira não chega para o descrever.
O que aqui defendes, com recurso à cabala, é uma vergonha, é insultuoso e é inqualificável.
Que não aproves a gestão do LFV, tudo bem, tens direito a isso. Mas mete a mão na consciência, reconhece que foste enganado em 1997 e 2000 e deixa-te de agarrar a fantasmas.
Falas do plano desportivo, vai ver quantos títulos o Benfica ganhou no mandato do Vale. Não precisas: Futebol zero, basket zero, hóquei zero, Vólei zero, andebol zero e fechou.
Falas no plano financeiro, já para não falar das falcatruas descobertas, faz uma queixa aos CTT por nunca terem entregue o cheque do poborsky ao manchester. Descobre como é que as equipas do Benfica comiam e dormiam nas deslocações. Vai buscar baldes para apanhar a água que entrava por todos os lados no Estádio da Luz por não haver dinheiro para arranjar vidros partidos.
E a televisão, a bandeira demagógica desse homem extraordinário, além da ilegalidade da nulidade do contrato, vê quanto é que o Benfica recebeu pelos direitos televisivos e publicidade estática.
Mas tudo isto é pouco quando comparado com as falcatruas provadas, comprovadas e transitadas em julgado. Tudo isto é pouco quando comparado com as dívidas ocultadas e que se descobriram nos anos seguintes. Tudo isto é pouco quando se pensa na forma como o património foi delapidado ao desbarato.
Enfim, à distância, esta discussão já pouco diz. À luz dos factos, e não dos devaneios mirabolantes que pensei já estarem definitivamente enterrados, esta discussão seria caricata, se não fosse triste.
Triste porque esse traste, por ser um vendedor de ilusões a quem queria e precisava de ser iludido, conseguiu pegar num Benfica por baixo, cavou a cova e meteu-o no caixão.
Fomos mesmo salvos com a eleição do Vilarinho e pensar o contrário é ignorância, estupidez, conivência ou isto tudo ao mesmo tempo.

And as if life wasn't bad enough...

You know, it's really unfair for the universe to kick you when you're down. With the way things have been, there are very few things that give me joy. Chocolate is one of them. Dove dark chocolate in particular.

So I'm food shopping the other day, cruising the aisles with my little calculator to stay within our budget and decided that I could go another week without conditioner so that I could buy the "big" bar of Dove Dark Chocolate. It was a necessity and I was okay with spending that $1.99.

I came home, but the chocolate in the fridge for a little while - I prefer that it not melt in my hands - and went about my business. After dinner, I cleaned up, did some things that I needed to do and then went in to grab a couple of squares of chocolate and...it was BAD. No, not the taste (although I'm sure that wasn't good either) but the SIGHT of it! I opened the package and what should have been dark chocolate was the color of sand! The bar looked old and disgusting and I was SOOOOOO disappointed that I wanted to cry.

It was too late to head back to the store (I was lazy and didn't want to seem like a crazy person harassing the customer service clerk over a chocolate bar at ten o'clock at night) so I waited until the next day. I go, I show them the bar, we laugh, I get a refund and the woman asks if I just want to grab another one. "Oh, no", I say. "That kind of scared me off."

Fifteen minutes later I found myself on line with another one. I'm not strong, I admit it.

I get home, open it up and...IT WAS BAD TOO!!! Son of a bitch!!!

All I needed to feel just a wee bit better about this crap life was a few squares of chocolate and really? Two bad bars?? What are the odds??? Probably pretty good since I bought them both at the same store like an IDIOT.

Sigh...
