A Whole New World in Youtube!!!

Recently, and due to my new Blog/Vlog, I have discovered a whole new world in Youtube...


I have my account since February 2007... 
But I just happened to create a new one for the Vlogging...

With my old account, the only thing I used to do was to watch videos and rate them and so on...
But never really got into the Youtube world...

Apart from my new Vlog, Also the story of Ana Free inspired me to get more into it.
Now, I don't have an account, I know for sure that I have a channel.
I have started to meet people there that have awesome videos and they actually give you advise on yours, on how to edit them and so on...

If you are curious, just go there...
Search for videos you like and explore the channels of the people who post them.
However what I love the most are those channels were people actually Vlog and share...

I have been invited to participate in a contest [and I have just three days Vlogging]...
There are several channels by topics, this one I have been invited is a Gay Channel...

The main idea that is considered posh right now in the Youtube World is to have collaborative channels with 5 people, so each Vlogger post each day of the week.

I will love to be Wednesday Dude..
I don't really know what it is with me and Wednesday... 
Maybe that I am the sibling in the middle?

Just wanted to share this in case there is someone else outside there with similar interests.

I am leaving here a couple of links to some of the channels I have enjoyed.
I love the honesty and the simplicity...
Cheers...

Davey Wavey Channel...
GDProphetXVII Channel...
Apples33ds Channel...

PS: Even if my new Vlog/Blog is taking a lot of my time I promise on keep posting here and in my Spanish blog as well...

There Is Always A Way In Which We Can Fly!!!

Going through Alexandru's Blog, I found this video...

Thanks for sharing your thought and experiences in such an honest and transparent manner.


We can always find our way to fly...
Always...
Our wings are not necessarily physical...
And most of the times we forget that 
we don't even need wings to fly.
We Need Guts!!!

Raining Inside - The Art Of Crying Without Doing It!

I just saw this video...

In a very weird and powerful way... 
I felt my feelings projected...

I felt how all my Self let itself be interpreted by the background, the music, the boy, my memories, my little town, the river behind my house, the rainy days in which I used to go to the river, to cry over the river another river... 
The river of my shame.
I am not ashamed anymore.
I though so...
Why is this video bringing all that back?

Those images are still there, just covered by the dust of the days, as I am used to say.

I am cleaning dust out.
I understand partially why this video made me cry without crying.

Tomorrow I am hosting a party.
Today I need to get the shit out of me.

One step at a time, as the rain is made of one drop at a time.

Bebe

Te echo de menos, le digo al aire
I miss you, I say to the air

te busco, te pienso,
I'm looking for you, I think of you,

te siento y siento que como tu no habra nadie
I feel you and feel that there will be nobody like you

y aqui te espero,

The Search For A Boyfriend

Well, in two days I am releasing my new blog...

I have thought about it for quite a while...
I am kind of wondering now if it is a good idea or not...
I have passed from happy about it, to scared, to excited, to afraid... 
and on and on... 
and so many times, that now I give a damn... 
I just gotta do it.

All this situation has, again, awaken rage on me...
I don't know why, or towards what...
I just know that I have a huge storm inside me...
A twister is taking place, and I don't know how my inner Self will look like when the storm is over.

I just want to call out and receive a hand back.
I want the hand of a lover to be the one I see...
And the lover is not here...

I am tired of reaching out with no answers...
I am bored of being publicly available and wait for something to happen...
For someone to approach...
I hate waiting lines...
I will reach out louder... regardless of what that can mean later on.

In two days I will launch a blog that clearly states that 
"I am looking for a boyfriend in Lisbon!"
Or should I say that I am looking forward to be found by a boyfriend?
It does not matter, really...

I will go out there with my blog, will post who I am, what I am looking for, and will make sure that every gay guy in Lisbon gets to read my blog...
I will also be looking for advise from friends in what to do next...
It will be a journey...
I hope my friends make me company, I will need you!
I also hope the journey ends up in a happy ending.

2 days, just 2 more...
I'm shaking...
But I am moving ahead...
[I have made this post so that there is no way back]

Looking forward; very, very much...

Dey

PS: The video relates to the rage that I am feeling.... and the things that I feel like screaming out to the world right now... 
PS2: I love my extremes and my passionate way to face my emotional states!

Afraid Of Me
TWIZTID

[Chorus x2]
I'm so
Hidden and you're never gonna see
I'm cold
Forgiven all because of my beliefs
I'm no
Body that you ever wanna be
Cause I know that the world is afraid of me


[Monoxide Child]
Now you can try to sedate me, assassinate or just hate me
But there's nothing that you can do to me lately
Now
I'm greatly accepted in the mind so I'm confused and intertwined
From being rejected so many times, I wanna leave it all behind
So kind of you to pick up the album and give it a try for once
And run and tell your homies that these motherfuckers will die for us

So many questions, fingers pointing for answers
Suggesting that I'm the cancer that lingers inside the pasture
With green grass up to my neck, and situations that's too fast
To think about and most people can't dream about
A hundred million miles and every single second
And every time you hear this record I want you to feel me on every sentence
Reminisce from descendants of past treasures
We'll embark on a journey that'll stay alive forever
Plus I would stand over on my side of the fence
Regardless of the circumstances or the consequences


[Chorus x2]
I'm so
Hidden and you're never gonna see
I'm cold
Forgiven all because of my beliefs
I'm no
Body that you ever wanna be
Cause I know that the world is afr
aid of me

[Jamie Madrox]
I am my own worst enemy
I'm not the smartest motherfucker and shit, I don't pretend to be
And why I am the way I am is not a mystery
My mind's not in proper working order or in therapy
The brain's confused and mentally abused
Life's been hanging on a string so what the fuck I got to loose?
And what the fuck I got to prove to you?
If you don't know me by now, you'll never know me
You can put that on my real homies
I got problems and they stack like bills
And I relate to the broken, bleeding heart love killed
And I awaited in the shadows, awake in the dark
Hoping to talk to the passed on, I'm falling apart
I'm such a mess and decisive, I'm fading away
I'm out of touch with society and living today
Never relying on my sanity, I threw it away
To become the maniac that's
got your attention today

[Chorus x2]
I'm so
Hidden and you're never gonna see
I'm cold
Forgiven all because of my beliefs
I'm no
Body that you ever wanna be
Cause I know that the world is afraid of me


[Monoxide Child]
Can you keep a secret?
Well I'm afraid world because they want me to die, can you believe it?
But I'm still alive... and been floating since '95
With my chin held high but I'm so dead inside
Let the problems just roll and put them back into a pile
Because it's just a bunch of shit that I can't deal with right now
And I'm tired of always guessing and messing it up again
And the next day it's even deeper and I'm steady sinking in


[Jamie Madrox]
I took a look at myself and came to grips with what I found
It was a vision of a child, disturbed and broke down
No soul, no heart because I gave it away
No time for feeling sorry, I'll grieve another day
And all those tears are stored in storm clouds
That hover above me and cover the ugly
Continued to haunt me when I was feeling low
That's the same reason
I hold on and never let go

[Chorus x4]
I'm so
Hidden and you're never gonna see
I'm cold
Forgiven all because of my beliefs
I'm no
Body that you ever wanna be
Cause I know that the world is afraid of me

What Interest Me About YOU!!!

Here I am again stealing something that deserves it!
This time I found it in Jorien's Blog.

********************

It doesn't interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.
It doesn't interest me how old you are.
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive.

It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon.
I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain!
I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it or fade it, or fix it.

I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own, if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, to be realistic, to remember the limitations of being human.

It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true.
I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself; if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul; if you can be faithlessand therefore trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see beauty even when it's not pretty, every day,and if you can source your own life from its presence.

I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand on the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, “Yes!”

It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up, after the night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone, and do what needs to be done to feed the children.

It doesn't interest me who you know or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.
It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied.
I want to know what sustains you, from the inside, when all else falls away.

I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.

Your Dreams Can Come True Electronically!!!

It is so fan-freaking-tastic how internet is shaping our world in a way that opens more and more opportunities for all…

And I am not talking about social development and blah, blah, blah

I am talking about young common people with talent; I am talking about young people with ideas, with determination; I am talking about driven young people…

Since I started working in Lisbon creating this global online tourism venture I have been discovered more, and more, and more young people that have made their way through by using internet and their network of friends as their main tool to achieve their dreams.

I have posted before about some of them…

Take a look at Kyle and his red paper clip; or Matt and his Tribe or his Nerve TV; or even at Sunshine Megatron and his Tees’ companies Hell T-Shirt and Torso Pants, or his memorable give me a name. Examples are countless, these are just some of my favorites...


For a while now, I have been watching on Portuguese TV a commercial of an Internet provider company called ZONE [see video bellow or in the url]. This add attracted me mainly because of the soundtrack.

In the add there is a young female singer singing on the street and collecting some coins, then using the coins to get her connection and share her music over the web. A pretty dramatic approach. The funniest part is that at the beginning of the add [note that] there is a subtitle that translates "Ana Free, A True Story".



Well, maybe the story is not exactly as it is shown in the add, 
but it is true!

Today one of my colleagues at the office [thanks Edu] introduced me to the music and story of Ana Free. A portuguese girl that attended an International School in Cascais (near Lisbon) and then went to UK for University.

She posted her first video online in youtube in January 07, 2007; and today she is the #57 - Most Subscribed (All Time) - Musicians in Youtube!
Today she is selling out in bars and concert halls in Lisbon.

Here you have "Chained", her most viewed video in youtube [url].



Hope can not help me
weak since you've left me alone
and theres nothing here for me
searching for something to hold on
this place could always
make me feel alright and all wrong
but theres nothing here for me
you dont adore me
your gone

and I guess anyway it was wrong
its too good to be true
its just too much for you
scared by the love thats too strong

I dont regret you
I still can't forget you
chained to a memory
run from my enemies
hiding myself in the dark

Leaving the world
step into the unkown to be free
and the memories fade of a world that we made in history
and I dont deserve all the reasons I heard
when you turned away
but you misunderstand

I wont cry for you and you should
hear me say
That I guess anyway it was wrong
its too good to be true
its just too much for you
scared by the love thats too strong

No I dont regret you
I still can't forget you
chained to a memory
run from my enemies
hiding myself in the dark
I am chained to a memory
run from my enemies
hiding myself in the dark
baby I am chained to a memory

I'm chained to a memory
hiding myself in the dark
hiding myself in the dark
hiding myself in the dark

hope can not help me
weak since you've left me alone


Another story of dreams that come true!
Today she has already recorded her first single (In My Place) and it is selling it in iTunes!
At the same time she has finished university and is working in her first album.
I strongly advice you to check her channel in Youtube and subscribe if you like the music, she is constantly updating with new videos and songs.

Here you have her performing "In My Place" live with Dj D [url]. And after you have the same song "solo" on National TV in Portugal, also live [url].


 


Don’t run away
If you know that you’ve got what it takes
Don’t shy away (No, no)
Sleep now
Dream here
And hopefully the night will ease your fears

Hey
There will be tears to shed again
Time to begin
And time to end
Baby and you say I’ll be sad
But that depends

Come on recognise me
I know that you know my face
Weren’t you’re the one who told me once you would be there
And every time I try to walk away
You keep me in my place
I try to break away but I’m much too much too scared
Try to break away but I’m much too much too scared

And you think of your chance
Cuz life will grant you one and that’s your last
Hey
Baby, don’t think too fast
No, no
You can’t have mine
All I do is move you round in time
Baby, there will be nights to sleep alone?
Time to fight, and time to grow
Baby and you say I’ll be sad
But you don’t know
You don’t know


Finally, check this video out as well... [url]
Here she performs with her friend Mia Rose with whom she used to have a band, and who is also a big success in youtube!
The song is Seen Your Face, it has the lyrics in the video.
Enjoy, it is very catchy!



Summarizing this LOOOOONG post:
No recording companies, no marketing agencies, no PR agents...
Just Internet, Youtube, Friends, Networks, Facebook...
Just ideas, cool ideas, crazy ideas, talent and guts!
This is how we can make a difference as well, by supporting these courageous great young people... 

This is shaping a new order in everything we know so far... 
Just think about it a bit and imagine these trends growing... 
Then imagine the world in 15 years from now, in 20!!!...
WoW!!!

This is inspiring me more and more...
I have a pop corn that needs to go out of my head.
You will be hearing from me and my new blog soon!
Very soon...

It will be a smashing unexpected sexy shit!
Some will like it.
Some will hate it.
I don't care, I just care that people will talk about it and will go there check it out!
 
Ate Ja!

PS: Now I am also in Twitter, follow me there

Scream Out Loud: "It's My Life!!"

Claim it back, IT IS YOURS!!!

Put yourself together, with your lights and your shadows...
Accept that both of them form your 'complete'.
Without your shadows, your lights will not exist.
Every light produces a shadow.
The absence of the shadow demonstrates the absence of the light.
The one needs the other.

Be your lights, and be your shadows.
Be.

I am.
I AM.

I want to free some shadows tonight.
See you in Bairro Alto.
I will be there.
COMPLETE.

It's My Life

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud

[Chorus:]
It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life

This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky
Got to make your own breaks

[Chorus:]
It's my life
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life

Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down

[Chorus:]
It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive

[Chorus:]
It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life!

What Is Life???!!!

What it is life all about?

It is true that is about beauty?
What it is beauty then?
What does mean to be beautiful?

It is pain beautiful?
It is deception beautiful?
Are our tears beautiful?

Why do we complain?
What do we complain about?
What is it mean to complain?

New questions...

The old ones:
     Who Am I?
     Where Am I in Life Right Now?

Those, those are obsolete for me at this moment.

I know life exists in circles, in cycles.
I know they will come back.

For the moment, there are new questions arising.
For the moment, I contemplate.
For the moment I want to discover beauty in everything that happens to me.
For the moment I want a partner in this discovery process.

Just for the moment...
