To my only hero

Steve JobsI am not one who admires people. I admire moments, situations, actions, but in general I never got that fan thing, that so many people talk about.

But there is one person that I looked up to and that I could call my hero, Steve Jobs.

He was a show man, a master of technology, a design expert, a wise perfectionist, in sum a genius.

It will be hard to find that combination on a single person again.

The news of his death leave me sad and worried that technology will be lacking from here on. Who will be the one to set new expectations? Who will define new paths? Who will be the voice leading Apple? Who will tech industry look up to, now?

None of the alternatives out there look that promising when compared to Steve.

No matter what, just this quick note to express my gratitude to have been so privileged to share this world with you and be inspired by what you have done.

Meet you soon :)

 

 

Márcia – Vem

Não fujas de mim
Que eu cá não faço mal

Tenho este olhar assim
Que me diz que um beijo pode ser fatal

Eu não sei se o nosso eu
Prefiro achar que não

Não me interessa a solução
De estar longe… Tu e eu

O pai disse-me um dia em pleno bate papo
Que o dom desta família é virar príncipes em sapos
Tu queres ser um também

Dizia a minha mãe que o melhor da melodia
É virar o disco e vem logo uma nova companhia
Mas eu não quero assim.

Vem para mim…

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club – Mercy

Time stands too still
Left you there for the kill
But this hope that sorrow bleeds
Leaves a man with nothing

There’s just no mercy in your eyes
There ain’t no time to set things right
And I’m afraid I’ve lost the fight
I’m just a painful reminder
Another day you leave behind

Love grows a fear
Suites your taste of bitter ends
But this stake that holds you in
Leaves no place to begin

There’s just no mercy in your eyes
There ain’t no time for selling lies
And I’m afraid I’ve lost the fight
I’m just a painful reminder
Another day you leave behind

Words seem so blind
I’ve been pushed far aside
To my choice seems too small
Any move and I could fall

There’s just no mercy in your eyes, child
There ain’t no time to set things right
And I’m not preaching to the choir
I’m just a painful reminder
And you’re a fool to satisfy

yeah and so
why can’t you see child
why won’t you feel love
I’m on my knees

yeah and on
why won’t you speak child
why can’t you dream on
I’m on my knees

yeah and so on
why won’t you see child
why can’t you feel love
I’m on my knees
I’m right here for you

Did You See Him Cry – Pavlov’s Dog

How many times has he waited here
Beneath the boughs of angel hair
Woolen coat pulled tight against the wind
That whipped and chaffed his face
And left him that much more apart
From his old dreams that new lovers
Cannot own or hope to ever know
What’s behind an old man’s lonely eyes

When he’s alone and the sun is high
Children laugh and he’d like to hide
Days like these seem to hang on
For so long
They seem to drag him down
And leave him that much more apart
And he wishes someone would invite him home
To pass the time
Or maybe find some time
Or maybe

Did you see him cry

Did you ever watch him pace
And all the ways he tries to hide his face
Misplaced in a world not like his own
And did you ever stop to speak
Or hear him try to tell about
How she and he were lovers
Just like you
And they were just like you
