Nice song! Upside down from Jack Johnson

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNlmn7vbXBQ

Upside Down
"Who's to say
What's impossible
Well they forgot
This world keeps spinning
And with each new day
I can feel a change in everything
And as the surface breaks reflections fade
But in some ways they remain the same
And as my mind begins to spread its wings
There's no stopping curiosity
I want to turn the whole thing upside down
I'll find the things they say just can't be found
I'll share this love I find with everyone
We'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's songs
I don't want this feeling to go away
Who's to say
I can't do everything
Wel I can try
And as I roll along
I begin to find
Things aren't always just what they seem
I want to turn the whole thing upside down
I'll find the things they say just can't be found
I'll share this love
I find with everyone
We'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's songs
This world keeps spinning and there's no time to waste
Well it all keeps spinning spinning round and round and
Upside downWho's to say what's impossible and can't be found
I don't want this feeling to go away
Please don't go away
Please don't go away
Please don't go away
Is this how it's supposed to be
Is this how it's supposed to be

It's too easy!!! You can enjoy learning!

Read the news by Amaral Ezequias: José Saramago has gone from us.

http://www.cadernob.com.br/noticias.php?id=2422

José Saramago's life, works etc...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Saramago

Blindness - When the film starts...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTivdzpDqP0&feature=fvw

Making off - the film: Blindness

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqXFXZI1_TQ&feature=watch_response

Try to watch it and let's talk about it.

Unfortunately, José saramago, the greatest Portuguese writer left us today.

This wise man left from this world but has been giving us amazing treasures that we should preserve in our universal memory. We must keep reading his works to open our mind more and more. As a result we can also think like his grandma: "__ The world is beautiful...it's a pitty leaving it." ("O mundo é bonito... é uma pena deixá-lo.").
