Yes, We Can

It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.
Yes we can.
It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom.
Yes we can.
It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.
Yes we can.
It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballots; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land.
Yes we can to justice and equality.
Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity.
Yes we can heal this nation.
Yes we can repair this world.
Yes we can.
We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change. (We want change.)
We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics…they will only grow louder and more dissonant.. We’ve been asked to pause for a reality check. We’ve been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.
But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.
Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea: YES, WE CAN.

Gorilla Remix

Vou fazer esse post só porque na época em que o primeiro comercial desse gorila apareceu, TODOS os blogs que eu leio postaram, aí desencanei de postar. Depois disso muita gente fez seu próprio remix desse mesmo comercial (também postado por todos os blogs).
Aí hoje tava passando pelo UOD e ví que a própria marca Cadbury’s fez um novo remix com a música "Total eclipse of the heart". Só tenham paciência que eu postei o comercial em alta definição, então demora um pouco pra carregar.
Go rilla! Go rilla!

Pois é...

Escolher candidato hoje é muito tenso e nunca fui muito de moda, mas ontem comprei uma camiseta promocional da Cavalera - Barack Obama porque:

1 - É mais fácil tomar partido dos problemas dos outros;

2 - É mais fácil comprar coisa de grife quando ela custa R$19,00.

?

-Quer?



-Não, obrigado. Sou arachibutirofobico.

Pelo que você corre?

Essa era a pergunta do Nike 10k desse ano.
E até um dia antes da prova eu fiquei queimando meus neurônios à procura da resposta, até que as 19h da noite o meu celular toca.

Era um brother me avisando que tinha corrido na chuva um dia antes e que acordou derrubado pela gripe. "Dão bou poder ir no nike 10k abanhã PH...."

Fiquei até com remorso. O cara pagou 70 pilas pra não poder aproveitar o evento. Foi aí que me veio a resposta do nike 10k.

"Corro 10k por um amigo"
