Sooner or Later

(F.Colmenero. Casulo: GVT 9185; Instalação, Técnica Mista.)

And although I thought one day we’ll be better, this day still hasn’t happened. Our greatest achivements, they are stillborn. Quite not a failure, but just this simplistic and doomed conflict of interests. A bumpy road we travelled, with silence. Still, I love you. And this is a fuel that estimulates me to persist. Persist. A little leap of faith; and a homeric, harmful and ungrateful charge of tenderness. It is a gift, from me to you.

By now, I can hold only two fears: does it ends? And if it does: when?

Deep Thoughts

Para aqueles que já jogaram esse singelo joguinho, ou sua versão anterior, devem ter percebido a massiva carga irônica que há nas descrições de cada objeto, sofá, tinta de parede, ou cerquinha branca. Eu sempre admirei, como eles, do The Sims, sempre conseguiram colocar uma visão profundamente cínica aos objetos mais triviais. Tudo com uma grande dose de filosofia, ou quem sabe podemos dizer: filosofia de vida.

As duas próximas eu encontrei lendo o Manual do Pacote de Expansão Glamour. Uma se refere à um sofá, outra à um quadro (que por extensão se tornou uma extrema crítica ao mercado de arte, e, por extensão, ao público de arte.)

Sofá Poleiro Próspero
Às vezes, ate mesmo os Sims glamourosos têm vontade de “mofar” na frente da TV. Mas devem fazer isso em seu estilo — por que mofar como um fungo qualquer, quando você pode ser um belo Champignon?

“Abstracionismo" de Kien Ghodu
Esta pintura é tão cara que impede qualquer discussão. Se os seus Sims pagaram tanto por ela, então deve ser uma obra de arte de verdade.

E isso realmente acaba com qualquer discussão...

Aos 11min e 12 seg:

“You stopped by, I was all alive. In my doorway, we shucked and jived. And when you wept, I was gone: See, I got gone when I got wise, but I can’t with certainty say we survived.

Then down, and down, and down, and down, and down and deeper, stoke without a sound, the blameless flames, you endless sleeper! Through fire below, and fire above, and fire within. Sleeped through the things that couldn’t have been if you hadn’t have been. And fire moves away. Fire moves away, son. Why would you say I was the last one?

And all my bones, they are gone, gone gone. Take my bones, I don’t need none! But I starving and freezing in my measly old bed! Then I’ll crawl the salt flats to stroke your sweet head. Come across the desert with no shoes on! I love you truly, or I love no-one.

Joanna Newsom — Only Skin (excerpt)

Your Five Variable Love Profile

Propensity for Monogamy: Your propensity for monogamy is medium. In general, you prefer to have only one love interest. But it's hard for you to stay devoted for too long! There's too much eye candy to keep you from wandering. Experience Level: Your experience level is medium. You probably have had a couple significant loves. And you may have even had your heart broken. But you haven't really dated a wide variety of people. Dominance: Your dominance is high. It's your way or the highway when it comes to love. You like to be very involved in your sweetie's life. No question, you like to be the one calling the shots. Cynicism: Your cynicism is medium. You'd like to believe in true and everlasting love... But you've definitely been burned enough to know better. You're still an optimist, but you also are a realist. Independence: Your independence is high. You don't need to be in love, and sometimes you don't even want love. Having your own life is very important for you... Even more important than having a relationship.
