Boas, o meu vizinho da frente é tão forreta, mas tão forreta que em vez de comprar uma daquelas campaínhas normais, daquelas que tocam DENTRO de casa, não, Arranjou uma coisa daquelas que se parecem com uns tachos ou umas panelas velhas, parece que passou um rebanho de cabras ou assim... Para terem uma ideia, o barulho é igual aquele que presumo todos vós tenham experienciado, num fim de ano com a familia lá em casa em que vai tudo a correr à janela com as panelas lá de casa e toca a fazer barulho para a rua, como se os foguetes não bastassem para perceber que algo se estava a passar. De maneira que quando o meu vizinho recebe visitas toda a vizinhança é notificada! Seria muito interessante criar um gráfico para medir o nível de sociabilidade, não acham?!

E pronto, era isto que queria partilhar ... bem hajam!

Vamos lá parar com isto, ok?

Language was developed by humans and conversations emerged to conceal reality. Now, we use it to sweet-talk our way around natural selection. But You know who has real conversations?

Ants.

See, they talk by vomiting chemicals into each others mouths. They get it right down to brass tacks.

Bleehhh!! “wich way is the picnic?”

Bleeeehh!! “that way”

Humans are much more evolved. We lie.

Facts About Ants

As ants are social insects, they are unable to live on their own and need to live in an organized community or colony.

Ants belong to the order "Hymenoptera," and are said to be closely related to sphecid wasps. It is believed that ants first appeared during the Cretaceous period and that they had evolved from the wasps that had come out during the Jurassic period. Scientists have also estimated that ants have been living on the earth for more than 100 million years.

More Facts About Ants

• Ants are mostly found in hot climates.
• Over 10000 known species of ants exist in the world.
• The average life span of an ant is 45 to 60 days.
• The ant has very strong legs which help it to run very quickly.
• Ants appear in shades of green, red, brown, yellow, blue or purple.
• An ant is able to lift about 20 times its own body weight.
• Adult ants are unable to swallow solid food. They depend on the juice they are able to squeeze out from pieces of food.
• An ant uses its antenna for touch as well as smell.
• Ants normally range from 2 to 7 mm in length. The carpenter ant is an exception to the rule, as it can stretch to 2 cm, or even an inch.
• There is at least one queen in each ant colony.
• An ant has two stomachs, in one stomach it stores food for itself and in the other it stores food that is to be shared with other ants.
• An ant has the largest brain amongst insects. It is said that the processing power in an ant's brain and a Macintosh II computer might be similar.
• Some ants are able to sleep seven hours a day.
• Ants are mostly omnivorous, that is, they eat other insects, seeds, oils and bread.
• Queen ants are provided with wings at birth, they lose these wings after they fly off to start new colonies.
• Black ants and Wood ants do not have a sting, instead they are able to squirt a spray of formic acid.
• A Tropical Leafcutter ant uses its sharp outer jaw to cut leaves and make them into pulp. The pulp is later used to make fungus gardens. These gardens are looked after and harvested for food.
• Worker ants are given the responsibility of taking the rubbish from the nest and putting it into the rubbish dump.
• When a worker ant finds a source of food, it leaves a trail of scent to attract other ants in the colony to it.
• The Slave-Maker ant (Polyergus Rufescens) is so named because it raids the nest of other ants and steals their pupae. Once the pupae hatch, they are made to work as slaves within the colony.
• Around 700,000 members can be found in the colony of the Army ants (Ecitron Burchelli).

Can You imagine this is how we come into this world… Screaming, Crying, covered in crap! And then along the line, we get into our minds that we´re destined for greatness.

Porque adicionamos e removemos amizades no Facebook!

Adicionar ou remover um amigo...eis a questão. Uma nova pesquisa (NM Incite), revela que há inúmeros factores que ajudam os utilizadores do Facebook (FB) a decidir adicionar um amigo ou a identificar um alvo a abater. Embora, o facto de se conhecer alguém na vida real seja a razão principal citada para se adicionar alguém (82%) e os comentários com carácter ofensivo, o motivo principal para se eliminar alguém (55%).

A pesquisa sugere ainda que as interações no mundo real, conduzem a amizades on-line. Enquanto isso, os comentários orientados para as vendas (Marketing), propaganda (Publicity) e comentários deprimentes, levam à remoção de amizades.

A apresentação da própria página de utilizador do FB também desempenha só por si, um papel fundamental, assim como outros factores relacionados por exemplo, com a frequência que se actualiza o seu estado, demasiadas vezes ou ainda em alguns casos, a sua ausência. Ter demasiados amigos, é também um aspecto a ter em consideração para alguns dos usuários do FB, o que faz sentido quando questionado o critério que os utilizadores do FB se baseiam para adicionar ou rejeitar uma solicitação de amizade. Desta forma, coloca-se em causa a possibilidade de alguém conhecer efectivamente 4500 pessoas ou mais, visto que de acordo com as politicas de privacidade do FB é proibido enviar pedidos a pessoas estranhas...

Os meios de comunicação social desempenham também um papel importante nas nossas decisões, como a própria pesquisa indica, os homens são mais susceptíveis de se servirem dos meios de comunicação sociais para proveito das suas carreiras profissionais (Networking) e relações amorosas (Dating).

Enquanto as mulheres se servem mais destes meios de uma forma mais criativa, como por exemplo para obter copões de desconto ou promoções, bem como dar feedback positivo. Os homens adicionam também mais amigos no que diz respeito às redes profissionais (colegas trabalho, etc) ou baseando-se apenas no critério da atracção física. Enquanto que as mulheres são mais prováveis de adicionar novas amizades se já tiverem conhecido pessoalmente a pessoa, da mesma forma que removerão com mais facilidade amizades devido a comentários ofensivos.

Apresentam-se em cima, dois gráficos, o primeiro, que reúne uma estatística de como nos servimos das ferramentas sociais de comunicação, e um outro enumerando os principais motivos que levam alguém a adicionar ou remover amizades no Facebook.

"Duncan Principle"

The principle of Duncan is quite simple, the higher is the lost control by the Ego (reality principle) the greater the gain by personality Id (unorganized parts of the personality) resulting in a surprising and predictable emotional eruption, or point of collapse. Also known by Mummy and Papa as explosion of ANGER!

So if you watch "Community" you know that the Duncan Principle (which consisted of leaving test subjects in a waiting room until they broke down) was debunked by one of the volunteers.

However, I am here to confirm the validity of the Duncan Principle from first hand experience.

This is a clip from the show Community. The episode is actually called Social Psychology. In this episode/clip, the experiment was about leaving test subjects waiting (for the experiment to start) in a room until they broke down. One guy managed to wait until they told him he had to leave. (26 hours) which apparently messed up Professor Duncan's experiment. although Duncan principle here is not scientifically valid, i believe would be interesting to see the results, that im my opinion should be pretty much like the one´s "found" in the staged experiment, anyway it would surely interesting to observe and test participants pacient.

Os Estados Unidos da America, são os país como mais processos judiciais no mundo, e tambem os mais “estúpidos” que possamos imaginar, eis alguns exemplos:

The united States, are thew country with more lawsuits in the world, some of them are really… stupid! Here´s a few:

1 - The mother of a Helen Tyson Middle School sixthgrader has sued Principal Curtis Spann and teacher Virginia Hargrove for their decision not to grant her son full credit for reading two Harry Potter books.

Yep, she did

2 -The truth in advertisement: This man found that beer companies lied to him in the “ads” that displayed social drinking and being able to pick up girls easier when drunk… also, drinking beer made him feel a bit sick, instead of simply not drinking, he sued.

3- And now, who is responsible for bad dates? and idiotic spending on dates… well in the U.S. someone must answer…

A man named Joe, spent more than $330,000 over the past two years trying to woo Mary Toon, a woman he thought would become his bride.

His fourth bride.

She didn’t.

And now he wants his money back.

Do I smell a lawsuit brewing?

You betcha!

A quem nunca aconteceu o espectaculo de ao final da noite, estar completamente estafados e desejar a cama como se não houvesse amanhã? Até aí tudo bem, seja qualquer a razão da estafa. Mas quando nos deitamos e estamos prestes a adormecer, o que nessas noites é incrivelmente rápido, eu diria até 2 minutos no Maximo! Até que depois o inicia o espectaculo.. de sermos atacados por mosquitos! Temos duas opções, ou tentamos dormir praticamente todos cobertos pelo lençol, apesar de estar um calor infernal, porque ou é isso ou a nossa cara é violada repetidamente por predadores voadores, a as marcas notam-se logo pela manhã, ao espelho quando lavamos a cara e lavamos os dentes. Aquelas marcas vermelhas inchadas de quem alimentou um mosquito para uma semana inteira.
O que nos irrita profundamente, perdemos pelo menos uma hora de sono enquanto acendemos a luz da mesa de cabeceira de vez em quando, e tentamos localizar algures o moskito a fugir, possivelmente em direcção a uma parede parede, a qual jogamos olhares intensos para localizar pontos negros na mesma. Esperamos ver aquela amostra de insecto a voar em direcção à parede, para lhe podermos aplicar a chinelada final, eu creio que é das poucas oportunidades que ainda temos de manifestar todo o nosso instinto animal, que ao que parece ainda temos algures nos nossos genes. Não tenho outra alternativa senão fazer o que a natureza nos manda, pois estou a ser atacado por um mosquito pela pior forma que ele é capaz de me atacar, da mesma forma que se estivesse na savana, um leão durante a noite também o faria. Não há contemplações neste caso, ou és tu ou ele! Se este mosquito pudesse, também me teria matado à chupada, por isso, levas com o jornal que me deram hoje no metro, ou então as Havaianas… é mesmo o que tiver mais à mão, seu sacana. (ou dizendo melhor sua sacana, visto os mosquitos que chupam sangue serem fêmeas ao que parece) Se ao menos me tivesses deixado descansar em paz… Agora é a tua vez!

Douchebag story:

A Guy Who was into play counterstrike was so hungry that his carachter was killed by some random dude over the internet, that he spend the next 6 months trying to find this guy!
Found him, and stab him in the chest luckily his stabbing skills were just as bad as his counter strike skills and didn´t kill the guy, missed the heart by two inches.
Now, i know what you´re thinking... you might think this is the messed up part of the story, but it gets actually more messed up, because he´s only getting two years in jail! And off course anger management therapy… witch seams the justified punishment for... an attempted murder!!

Wait….that was sarcasm.

Richard Gere and the gerbil story

The rumor that started all this fuss goes something like this:
Several years ago, "they" say, Richard Gere was admitted into the emergency room of a Los Angeles hospital with a foreign object lodged in his rectum. Some say Gere was alone when he arrived, others say he was accompanied by a friend (e.g., former love interest Cindy Crawford). In any case, an x-ray was taken and it was determined that the foreign object was a gerbil (either alive or dead, depending on who tells the story). Mr. Gere was rushed to surgery, where it took an entire team of doctors to extract the animal from his behind. Some variants say the gerbil was found to have been shaven and declawed; others claim the animal had been placed in a special plastic pouch. Still others insist the poor creature was Gere's own beloved pet (appropriately named "Tibet" in this variant). In any event, when the gerbilectomy was done the medical team was sworn to secrecy — unsuccessfully, we must conclude — and Gere went on his merry way, suffering no permanent harm other than to his reputation.

"Is it true?" you ask.

The second story i would like to share with you guys, is the Frenemies! As you probably know, Making friends have never been easyer! you got your real life friends, you got your internet friends, you got your work friends, you got your imaginary friends... WHAT?! Boboo is VERY real to me :)

But it seams, no matter how you make friends, one timeless element remains and that is of frenemies.
Wikipedia defines frenemies as an enemy disguised as a friend, or a partner who is also a competitor, or a rival.
I defined frenemies as that person in your life, you always had a really good time with, but you instinctly know to always sleep with one eye open. Because you have the sickning feeling that their whole motive in their life, is to undermind your confidence, steal you identity and...take over the world!!!

Boboo..?? where are you?????

I found three types of Frenemies, and they are...The copycat!
Backwards complement! - Yellow smile;
The saboteur! - Poison "gifts", turn people agains´t you, devaluate your acomplishments, etc.
So tell me, do you happen to have any kind of Frenemies in your life? No? or maybe thats just because you are one... :0

A New study shows that in the male brain, sexual persued area is 2.5 larger than a woman, in her brain...tiny...tiny brain :p
So when a man looks at a woman´s breasts there´s a certain things going on in the brain! They made a comparison that when a man looks at a womans breasts is like when woman looks at butterflies. Off corse, it makes no sense to me, as i´ve known many whores, many many whores... Nice people!! but whorish! ;)


Another interesting study shows that, In a Woman´s life time she will spend almost about 3 years shopping! Thats right...just buying shit!!
Almost sounds like an exageration, but It shows that in a year, a woman as about 301 shopping trips. So, for those who are not familiar with calendars or time, it means a woman shops almost everyday! I dont blame them, see, how else are they supposed to get sandwich material?
Sandwich just dont make by themselfs :P

Here´s the Link: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2923821/Women-spend-three-years-shopping-in-lifetime.html


So yesterday I got this really cool video, Is about this 9 year old girl who is so mad at her school, that she actually wants it to be destroyed! It´s defenetly one of the best things i´ve heard in a long time! So here it goes, you guys might want to take a look and learn how it´s done...

This girl is gonna get faar!!

Hey guys, so me and my buddy went to a beach close by called Meco, and we went skiing on the dunes! Despite bringing tons of sand to the car and home, it was hell of fun and there´s a video here to proof it. As you might notice, this is my first Blog yay! I´ve always wanted to start one, actually I did started one previously, but never got really committed to it, But something tells me, this time is going to be different. I´m already following a dear friend, she made this chair, among plenty of other pieces of Art. She is very talented, and even better, she is Portuguese! So you might want to check it out her Blog. In the Construction Process of this beautyfull chair, She used fabrics of old paper, garments of magazines and ink.


Back in the days, when i was thinking about what to do in my life, I was just a freshman college student, trying to make my way through life. Been dating this girl for one and a half year, I thought she was the one, you know because... she was my first one! that first one where everything is the most amazing thing on the planet!! and then you realize this is just the way things feel.

We end up moving together, and the last 4 months i hate this girl, and i finally broke up with her. And I, for some reason am the one that its more broken up about it. So i end up like staying in my house for months and months and the only connection I really had with the world was the internet. I was like i don’t want to go outside, we have a lot of the same friends, its going to be awkward, so I become like shut in for a while... But Eventually I got over it. Eventually I left! and end up going to school somewhere else.

It´s funny because its one of those things, you know? Its a terrible thing, but led to a good thing!
I don´t know about you, but that as been the case most of my life. I feel like the reason I’ve achieved a certain things, is only because a lot of people where like "no, you´re never going to do anything" - Sorry this is like an all over the place story!

So, that terrible thing happen, a few other terrible things happen...and it push me to do something. I remembered this today, as I thought...WOW! thank you for hurting me!
Because honestly if people didn´t hurt you, or bad things didn´t happen, you´d probably be a fucked up, only because you would never be forced to change, and sometimes people need to be forced to change. I thanked this girl who had messed up with my mind for so long, because if she hadn´t I still probably be near, and doing a job that I hate.

And another crazy thing is the kind of butterfly effect, a lot of people think of that butterfly effect like if you go back in the past. But just think about my best buddy , what if i never met him, would we be the same person we are today? probably our life´s could have been completely different. I think if i haven´t helped him in the first place, we had never become good friends and his life might have taken a complete different turn. One action makes a complete outcome 2 years from now, and 10 years from now...I can´t even imagine.

And it’s not just about people I helped but also, the people who helped me, what if they didn’t do it? It´s not a case of what if´s. I don´t want you to think of that, think instead of the decisions you take now. So, if you get anything out of this is:
One skiing on the dunes is awesome!
Two, Art is Awesome!! and Three, with enough time and determination we can get over anything.


I´m not trying to be motivational, I’m just saying what I’ve seen.
