Funny story about hell...
The following is an actual question given on a University chemistry final exam.
The answer by one student was so “profound” that the professor shared it with colleagues via the Internet, which is why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.
Question:
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle’s Law that gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed or some variant.
One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let’s look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that, if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell.
Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell. Because Boyle’s Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay constant, the volume of Hell must expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
- If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
- If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Sandra during my freshman year, that “it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you,” and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number 2 must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is endothermic and has already frozen over.
The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is extinct…leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being - which explains why, last night, Sandra kept shouting “Oh God!”

Moving from Intention to Action...
My recent trip to Vienna in November gave me the opportunity to get inspired by a couple of very close friends. Their achievements and the way they have been shaping their dreams in the making were a slap in my laziness. Not only they hosted me and listened, but also invited me to be part of Solution, a conference with the theme that gave birth to this post, "moving from intention to action!".
I, very honored, accepted their invitation to be part of the conference team.
When I got back in Lisbon I couldn't help it but keep on thinking again and again in them, knowing that there was an underlying message between the lines... I was cracking my head trying to find it, but it was impossible... So I decided to give it a time and let it emerge.
And then, in front of me, appeared. "Moving from intention to action" I read in the mail I received, and I knew that it was talking to me, to ME!
It is time. I needed to start NOW!
How it is possible that I kept on finding excuses not to?
What was that that I was fearing/avoiding?
What is that that I want to start?
How alive is still my dream of the soul spa?
And questions kept on coming...
Today I can proudly say that Beautiful Individuals has come to life.
Check it out!
Or check the fan page in facebook and become a fan!
I know now what my role in Solution can be.
I have definitely moved from Intention to Action.
It will be awesome to see some of you in Vienna next year, apply!
Love tons,
Dey
PS: Thanks Hinnerk and Alexis, I truly love you.

É pra lá que eu vou
Para além da orelha existe um som, à extremidade do olhar um aspecto, às pontas dos dedos um objecto - é para lá que eu vou.
À ponta do lápis o traço.
Onde expira o pensamento está uma ideia, ao derradeiro hábito de alegria uma outra alegria, à ponta da espada a magia - é para lá que eu vou.
Na ponta dos pés o salto.
Parece a história de alguém que foi e não voltou - é para lá que eu vou.
Onde não vou? Vou, sim.
E de lá volto para chamar o nome do ser amado e dos filhos.
Eu à beira do vento. O morro dos ventos uivantes me chama.
Oh, cachorro, cadê tua alma?, está à beira de teu corpo?
Que estou eu a dizer?

Tristeza y decepcion....
La Iglesia Católica vuelve a destacar por la persecución de la homosexualidad, esta vez en Uruguay
Mientras en algunas confesiones se asiste a avances en la aceptación de la diversidad, los católicos de Uruguay promueven la no contratación del profesorado homosexual en sus escuelas
[08/09/2009] Durante el pasado verano, diferentes confesiones cristianas han dado pasos, algunos tímidos y otros más destacados, a favor de la normalización de la realidad LGTB, de lesbianas, gays, transexuales y bisexuales. Mientras tanto la Iglesia Católica continúa ahondando en la homofobia con ejemplos como la promoción por parte de la Conferencia Episcopal uruguaya de la no contratación del profesorado homosexual o la recogida de fondos en Maine para luchar contra el matrimonio entre personas del mismo sexo.
El avance de diferentes confesiones cristianas, que debieran de servir de ejemplo a la Iglesia Católica, destaca por ejemplo con el nombramiento de altos cargos eclesiásticos a personas abiertamente homosexuales, como es el caso de la Iglesia Luterana sueca, que ha nombrado a una obispa lesbiana, o la diócesis de Los Ángeles de la Iglesia Episcopal (la anglicana estadounidense) que ha nombrado obispos a un gay y a una lesbiana. Esta misma Iglesia Episcopal autoriza la bendición de matrimonios homosexuales.
También es destacable la celebración, durante el Orgullo brasileño, de una boda múltiple entre personas del mismo sexo, oficiada por la Iglesia de la Comunidad Metropolitana de Sao Paulo. La Iglesia Evangélica Luterana de América, por su parte, permite la ordenación de pastores gays y lesbianas sexualmente activos en una relación de compromiso, aunque no reconoce el matrimonio, y la Iglesia Anglicana en el Sur de África acepta que los homosexuales convivan en “fieles relaciones de compromiso”.
Para Juan Antonio Férriz, coordinador del Área de Asuntos Religiosos, considera alarmante que "la mayor preocupación de la Iglesia Católica es perseguir la homosexualidad en el mundo, así lo demostró cuando se opuso la despenalización mundial en la ONU en diciembre de 2008, y así lo lleva a cabo. Parece ser que somos su enemigo, probablemente por una homofobia internalizada, ya que en el interior de la Iglesia existe el mayor porcentaje de homosexualidad, sobre todo sacerdotes, religiosos y religiosas y altas jerarquías. El problema es que no pueden visibilizarlo y lo viven a escondidas o reprimen sus sentimientos, lo que provoca en muchas ocasiones mayor resentimiento y amargura hacia quien lo vive con plenitud".

Don't stay in touch...
Lily Allen - FUCK YOU
Look inside,
Look inside,
Your tiny mind.
Then look a bit harder,
cause we're so uninspired.
So sick and tired.
Of all
The hatred you harbor,
so you say
It's not okay to be gay,
Well I think
You're just evil.
You're just some racist.

And it's getting
Quite late
So please
Don't stay in touch.
Do you get,
Do you get
A little kick out.
Of being small minded
You want to be
Like your father
His approval your after
Well that's not how
You'll find it
Do you
Do you really enjoy
Living a life
That's so hateful
Cause there's a hole
Where your soul
Should be
You're losing
Control of it
And it's really
Distasteful
Fuck you, fuck you
Very, very much
Cause we hate
What you do
And we hate
Your whole crew
So please
Don't stay in touch
Fuck you, fuck you
Very, very much
Cause your words
Don't translate
And it's getting
Quite late
So please
Don't stay in touch
Fuck you, fuck you
Fuck you, fuck you
Fuck you, fuck you
You say you think
we need to go to war
Well you're already in one
"Cause it's people like you
that need to get slew
No one wants your opinion
Fuck you, fuck you
Very, very much
Cause we hate
What you do
And we hate
Your whole crew
So please
Don't stay in touch
Fuck you, fuck you
Very, very much
Cause your words
Don't translate
And it's getting
Quite late
So please
Don't stay in touch
Fuck you, fuck you
Fuck you, fuck you
Fuck you, fuck you
Something to open your eyes
You need something to open up a new door
To show you something you seen before
But overlooked a hundred times or more
You need something to open your eyes
You need something to make it known
That it's you and no one else that owns
That spot that you're standing,
that space that you're sitting
That the world ain't got you beat
That it ain't got you licked
It can't get you crazy no matter how many
Times you might get kicked
You need something special all right
You need something special to give you hope
But hope's just a word
That maybe you said or maybe you heard
On some windy corner 'round a wide-angled curve
– Bob Dylan

True Love...
Zen Parable
Two brothers worked together on the family farm.
One was married and had a large family.
Then one day the single brother said to himself,
Meanwhile, the married brother said to himself,
Both men were puzzled for years because their supply of grain never dwindled.

I am PROUDLY what I am!!!
Life's not worth a dam
Till I can say
I am what I am
I am what I am
I am my own special creation
So come take a look
Give me the hook
Or the ovation
It's my world
That I want to have a little pride
My world
And it's not a place I have to hide in
Life's not worth a dam
Till I can say
I am what I am
I am what I am
I don't want praise I don't want pity
I bang my own drum
Some think it's noise I think it's pretty
And so what if I love each sparkle and each bangle
Why not see things from a different angle
Your life is a shame
Till you can shout out I am what I am
I am what I am
And what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck
Sometimes the aces sometimes the deuces
It's one life and there's no return and no deposit
One life so it's time to open up your closet
Life's not worth a dam till you can shout out
I am what I am
I am what I am
I am what I am
And what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck sometimes the aces sometimes the deuces
It's one life and there's no return and no deposit
One life so it's time to open up your closet
Life's not worth a dam till you can shout out
I am what I am
I am I am I am good
I am I am I am strong
I am I am I am worthy
I am I am I belong
I am
I am
Who whoooo etc.
I am
I am I am I am useful
I am I am I am true
I am I am somebody
I am as good as you
Yes I am

My Way, Always My Way!
And now, the end is here
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and ev'ry highway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course, each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way,
"Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way"
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels and not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows and did it my way!
Yes, it was my way
When someone else's words make you cry!
"Dey I love your videos. There have been very few times where I have found youtube art that reflects life and the human condition as honestly and heart felt as your's. You are a true testement my dear friend to the indominability of the human spirit. I can't tell you how much I love you for the feeling and power I experienced getting to know a little about you, through your videos. A great honor to know you my friend."

Hard Love
question asked - answer given
"Because they just LOVE in another way, like level up. They can sacrifice themselves but not Love principles. They call with the word Love only the Love itself and nothing else. They love because they do - not because they need to.
That is why."
I dunno if it is the wrong or the right answer
I just know that you were my saviour when I had lost hope
now it is my turn to be yours
and that what goes around really does come around.

Our Beginning!!!
Rita Redshoes - The Beginning Song
You came to this world
to see what i've done
and it's fine
so come and let's start
i'll give you all my heart
this time
don't walk away
cause baby i will love you more
i have this feeling
you're who i've been looking for
so close your eyes and read the signs
it's time to soar
you came to this world
to change what i've done
it's alright
but now you must dare
you can't pretend you're there
if you're mine
don't walk away
cause baby i will love you more
i have this feeling
you're who i've been looking for
so close your eyes and read the signs
it's time to soar
don't walk away
cause baby i will love you more
i have this feeling
you're who i've been looking for
don't turn away it's time to stay
there's nothing more
Why don't you tell me what to do?
You want to drink my soul
'Till your heart is full
What happens when it's full and it splashes?
You've built all these rooftops
And painted them all in blue
If all this set just burns up will you paint the ashes?
Do you really want to see?
Because I'll let you in
With me
You shiver when the wind blows
Through doors that lost their keys
There's too little to rescue, too little to hang on to
I thought that maybe we could try to
Clear and rebuild this haunted home
I'll be glad to help you just tell me what to do
Why don't you tell me what to do?
Maybe you're scared too
I've been here before
Next thing you'll see
You'll fell
So small
I will disappoint you
And I don't care if I do
I belong to those who got shattered, battered,
Bruises and scars that I've hidden you could never heal
This grey house where I come from
Some great love will tear it down
If you no longer love me why should it matter?
Tell me why should it matter?
I can't ask you to stay
I can't find the words to say
Why don't you just leave?
Just leave.

Because YOU ARE HERE!
When the rain is blowing in your face,
and the whole world is on your case,
I could offer you a warm embrace
to make you feel my love.
When the evening shadows and the stars appear,
and there is no one there to dry your tears,
I could hold you for a million years
to make you feel my love.
I know you haven't made your mind up yet,
but I would never do you wrong.
I've known it from the moment that we met,
no doubt in my mind where you belong.
I'd go hungry; I'd go black and blue,
I'd go crawling down the avenue.
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
to make you feel my love.
The storms are raging on the rolling sea
and on the highway of regret.
Though winds of change are throwing wild and free,
you ain't seen nothing like me yet.
I could make you happy, make your dreams come true.
Nothing that I wouldn't do.
Go to the ends of the Earth for you,
to make you feel my love.
