The last post was too little. I should have written:
I feel that I have so many things to start…
I feel that I have so many things to listen…
I feel that I have so many things to see…
I feel that I have so many places to go…
I feel that I have so many things to read…
And especially, I truly feel that I have so many things to learn…
I go out to work everyday at 6h45 and arrive at home generally around 20h15/20h30. Since that I’m not one of those magic-persons that with only 3 or 4 hours of sleep stay happily ready to another crazy day, I don’t have much time between arriving and actually go to bed! And with that so few little time I end up in having that feeling of “so many things to do” VS “already 23h??I didn’t do anything today!!”. For example… In the last weeks I was having a problem with my computer: I couldn’t download any type of file from the internet. Not even simple files, like an image or a word document, and yesterday I finally decided to loose some time to really study the situation and solve it (yes, I’m a girl that doesn’t understand very much about computers)! At the end of almost two hours I reached to the solution and I solved it…but I couldn’t help it thinking “%$#&% I spent all my night in this!! What a crap!!”.
I know that I don’t want to be someone who is loosing time with things that aren’t so important, for the ones that really are*. But time is such a tricky thing…
But the good news are:
# I already have the Bach’s Cello Suites – by the way, they came in a beautiful envelope!! Only my name written on it wins a kind of “artistic existence” =)
# I have double accomplished #30, with Rebeca doing her own list (Welcome to the adventure!!)
# I dind’t know anything about Matthieu Ricard, but since yesterday that I’ve been hearing some of his ideas about happiness and ways of being in life… very, very intersting
# Tomorrow I’m going to see Slumdog Millionaire =) (and see the director’s answer for that big question!)
# I ended up reading Amos Oz “How to cure a fanatic” and it has also some very good thoughts… Fanaticism is far for being only the “extreme-atitudes-of-those-islamic-that-literally-follows-what-its-written-in-alcoran” and it can be very close of us… inside us… even without we know it…
“The fanaticism essence relays in the wish of oblige others in changing. In that so common tendency in improve the neighbour, correct the girlfriend, doing an engineer from the son, to “straight-up” the brother, instead of letting them be. (…)
Fanaticism is everywhere. In more silent ways, more civilized. I know many non-smokers that would burn you alive just for lightning up a cigarette near them. Many vegetarians that would eat you alive just for eating meat. (…)”
(freely – and badly – translated from portuguese by me)
* P.S. I’m not minimizing computer acknowledgments… For me it’s just not too interesting :P

Well done on getting your computer sorted out (I would be stuck as well - luckily I am married to someone who works with computers and is the ultimate in Geekiness!) - and woot! to getting someone to join in the fun thereby allowing you to finish an item off!
