Estágio de um Baguiado
Manual do baguiado, se vc acha q é só com vc que acontece isto, leia o manual dos estágios !!! E seja vc tb um Baguiado!!
1o. Estagio: Voce comeca a beber, aquilo desce gostoso, provocando alguma lacrimejacao e sorriso facil. Fica sociavel e alegre. Conta algumas piadinhas pra relaxar o ambiente...
2o. Estagio: Com mais alguns goles, torna-se o cara mais inteligente do local, domina praticamente todos os assuntos, e discute como se fosse o "rei da cocada preta"... Conhece tudo.
3o. Estagio: Esse e o estagio Alain Delon. Voce comeca a se achar o cara mais lindo e gostoso do lugar. Todas as meninas comecam a te dar bola! Ate mesmo as que nao olham, pois estas so estao fazendo charme pra chamar sua atencao, estao "dando uma de dificil"!
4o. Estagio: Alguma coisa diferente comeca a acontecer com as pessoas do sexo feminino!Comecam a ficar mais bonitas e chamativas. E incrivel... Todas, sem excecao, ficam lindas!!! Rugas, espinhas e quilos a mais somem, bafo, chatice, vai tudo por agua abaixo...
5o. Estagio: Estagio Mike Tyson. Apos perceber que voce se tornou o bonitao do pedaco, e necessario demarcar o territorio de atuacao. E quando voce se torna o cara mais forte do mundo, bate em todos e ninguem pode com voce! Em boates da ombradas de proposito e bate cinza la de cima do camarote na cabeca dos outros, afinal de contas nao e na sua e quem quiser que venha reclamar...
6o. Estagio: Voce se torna o cara mais rico do mundo. Comeca a pagar bebida pra todo mundo, afinal de contas todos viraram seus amigos, e voce comeca a marcar festas e churrascos na sua casa. E uma bondade so...
7o. Estagio: Estagio homem-invisivel. Esse e o pior de todos. Voce faz um monte de cagadas e acha que ninguem ta vendo nada. Derruba copo, quebra garrafa, mija fora da privada, fica pendurado em todo mundo, grita no ouvido dos outros, conta so piada chata, faz forca pra ficar em pe (quando ja nao caiu), olha pra bunda da namorada do seu amigo, mexe com a cunhada, elogia a sogra, comeca a imitar bicha e assim vai...
8o. Estagio: Estagio Amnesia. Apos dormir mais de 12 horas, nem lembra o que fez no dia anterior (ou finge nao lembrar...), e dependendo do comentario geral da galera, jura que nem saiu de casa... Esse estagio tambem provoca "A Hora do Espanto!" e "Dias de Trovao". E aquele famoso medo de acordar com algum monstro ou E.T. do seu lado, ativando o Ayrton Senna dentro de voce, pra puxar o carro rapidinho.

Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires
(Jorge Luis Borges)
¿Qué será Buenos Aires?
Es la Plaza de Mayo a la que volvieron, después de haber guerreado en el continente, hombres cansados y felices.
Es el dédalo creciente de luces que divisamos desde el avión y bajo el cual están la azotea, la vereda, el último patio, las cosas quietas.
Es el paredón de la Recoleta contra el cual murió, ejecutado, uno de mis mayores.
Es un gran árbol de la calle Junín que, sin saberlo, nos depara sombra y frescura.
Es una larga calle de casas bajas, que pierde y transfigura el poniente.
Es la Dársena Sur de la que zarpaban el Saturno y el Cosmos.
Es la vereda de Quintana en la que mi padre, que había estado ciego, lloró porque veía las antiguas estrellas.
Es una puerta numerada, detrás de la cual, en la oscuridad, pasé diez días y diez noches, inmóvil, días y noches que son en la memoria un instante.
Es el jinete de pesado metal que proyecta desde lo alto su serie cíclica de sombras.
Es el mismo jinete bajo la lluvia.
Es una esquina de la calle Perú, en la que Julio César Dabove nos dijo que el peor pecado que puede cometer un hombre es engendrar un hijo y sentenciarlo a esta vida espantosa.
Es Elvira de Alvear, escribiendo en cuidadosos cuadernos una larga novela, que al principio estaba hecha de palabras y al fin de vagos rasgos indescifrables.
Es la mano de Norah, trazando el rostro de una amiga que es también el de un ángel.
Es una espada que ha servido en las guerras y que es menos un arma que una memoria.
Es una divisa descolorida o un daguerrotipo gastado, cosas que son del tiempo.
Es el día en que dejamos a una mujer y el día en que una mujer nos dejó.
Es aquel arco de la calle Bolívar desde el cual se divisa la Biblioteca.
Es la habitación de la Biblioteca, en la que descubrimos, hacia 1957, la lengua de los ásperos sajones, la lengua del coraje y de la tristeza.
Es la pieza contigua, en la que murió Paul Groussac.
Es el último espejo que repitió la cara de mi padre.
Es la cara de Cristo que vi en el polvo, deshecha a martillazos, en una de las naves de la Piedad.
Es una alta casa del Sur en la que mi mujer y yo traducimos a Whitman, cuyo gran eco ojalá resuene en esta página.
Es Lugones, mirando por la ventanilla del tren las formas que se pierden y pensando que ya no lo abruma el deber de traducirlas para siempre en palabras, porque este viaje será el último.
Es, en la deshabitada noche, cierta esquina del Once en la que Macedonio Fernández, que ha muerto, sigue explicándome que la muerte es una falacia.
No quiero proseguir; estas cosas son demasiado individuales, son demasiado lo que son, para ser también Buenos Aires.
Buenos Aires es la otra calle, la que no pisé nunca, es el centro secreto de las manzanas, los patios últimos, es lo que las fachadas ocultan, es mi enemigo, si lo tengo, es la persona a quien le desagradan mis versos (a mí me desagradan también), es la modesta librería en que acaso entramos y que hemos olvidado, es esa racha de milonga silbada que no reconocemos y que nos toca, es lo que se ha perdido y lo que será, es lo ulterior, lo ajeno, lo lateral, el barrio que no es tuyo ni mío, lo que ignoramos y queremos.

On praying
From the Catechism
Prayer of Petition
The first movement of the prayer of petition is asking forgiveness, like the tax collector in the parable: "God, be merciful to me a sinner!" It is a prerequisite for righteous and pure prayer. A trusting humility brings us back into the light of communion between the Father and his Son Jesus Christ and with one another, so that "we receive from him whatever we ask." Asking forgiveness is the prerequisite for both the Eucharistic liturgy and personal prayer.
--- 2631
When we share in God's saving love, we understand that every need can become the object of petition. Christ, who assumed all things in order to redeem all things, is glorified by what we ask the Father in his name. It is with this confidence that St. James and St. Paul exhort us to pray at all times.
--- 2633
Let them remember, however, that prayer should accompany the reading of Sacred Scripture, so that a dialogue takes place between God and man. For 'we speak to him when we pray; we listen to him when we read the divine oracles.'
--- 2653

The Didache
The Didache (Koine Greek: Διδαχὴ, Didachē, meaning "Teaching"; IPA: [ˈdɪ.də.keɪ] in English, [ði.ðaˈxi] in Modern Greek) is the common name of a brief early Christian treatise (dated to any point in the first three Christian centuries), containing instructions for Christian communities.
The Didache 1:1-6
Translated by Charles H. Hoole
http://ancienthistory.about.com/library/bl/bl_text_didache.htm
CHAPTER 1
1:1 There are two paths, one of life and one of death, and the difference is great between the two paths.
1:2 Now the path of life is this -- first, thou shalt love the God who made thee, thy neighbour as thyself, and all things that thou wouldest not should be done unto thee, do not thou unto another.
1:3 And the doctrine of these maxims is as follows. Bless them that curse you, and pray for your enemies. Fast on behalf of those that persecute you; for what thank is there if ye love them that love you? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? But do ye love them that hate you, and ye will not have an enemy.
1:4 Abstain from fleshly and worldly lusts. If any one give thee a blow on thy right cheek, turn unto him the other also, and thou shalt be perfect; if any one compel thee to go a mile, go with him two; if a man take away thy cloak, give him thy coat also; if a man take from thee what is thine, ask not for it again, for neither art thou able to do so.
1:5 Give to every one that asketh of thee, and ask not again; for the Father wishes that from his own gifts there should be given to all. Blessed is he who giveth according to the commandment, for he is free from guilt; but woe unto him that receiveth. For if a man receive being in need, he shall be free from guilt; but he who receiveth when not in need, shall pay a penalty as to why he received and for what purpose; and when he is in tribulation he shall be examined concerning the things that he has done, and shall not depart thence until he has paid the last farthing.
1:6 For of a truth it has been said on these matters, let thy almsgiving abide in thy hands until thou knowest to whom thou hast given.

The Catechism logo
The design of the logo is adapted from a Christian tombstone in the catacombs of Domitilla in Rome, which dates from the end of the third century A.D. This image suggests certain characteristic aspects of this Catechism: Christ, the Good Shepherd who leads and protects his faithful (the lamb) by his authority (the staff), draws them by the melodious symphony of the truth (the panpipes), and makes them lie down in the shade of the tree of life, his redeeming Cross which opens paradise.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Ccc.jpg
This image is in the public domain because its copyright has expired in the United States and those countries with a copyright term of life of the author plus 100 years or less.

A Father's Discipline
Hebrews 12 (New American Standard Bible)
4 You have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood in your striving against sin;
5 and you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons,
"MY SON, DO NOT REGARD LIGHTLY THE DISCIPLINE OF THE LORD,
NOR FAINT WHEN YOU ARE REPROVED BY HIM;
6 FOR THOSE WHOM THE LORD LOVES HE DISCIPLINES,
AND HE SCOURGES EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVES."
7 It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?
8 But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.
9 Furthermore, we had earthly fathers to discipline us, and we respected them; shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of spirits, and live?
10 For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but He disciplines us for our good, so that we may share His holiness.
11 All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness.
12 Therefore, strengthen the hands that are weak and the knees that are feeble,
13 and make straight paths for your feet, so that the limb which is lame may not be put out of joint, but rather be healed.

How to pray
Luke 11 (New American Standard Bible)
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Instruction about Prayer
1It happened that while Jesus was praying in a certain place, after He had finished, one of His disciples said to Him, "Lord, teach us to pray just as John also taught his disciples."
2And He said to them, "When you pray, say:
'[a]Father, hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
3 'Give us each day our daily bread.
4 'And forgive us our sins,
For we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us.
And lead us not into temptation.'"
5 Then He said to them, "Suppose one of you has a friend, and goes to him at midnight and says to him, 'Friend, lend me three loaves;
6 for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him';
7 and from inside he answers and says, 'Do not bother me; the door has already been shut and my children and I are in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything.'
8 "I tell you, even though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will get up and give him as much as he needs.
9 "So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
10 "For everyone who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, it will be opened.
11 "Now suppose one of you fathers is asked by his son for a fish; he will not give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?
12 "Or if he is asked for an egg, he will not give him a scorpion, will he?
13 "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?"
Footnotes:
[a] Luke 11:2 Later mss add phrases from Matt 6:9-13 to make the two passages closely similar

Li Europan lingues
Occidental
Li Europan lingues es membres del sam familie. Lor separat existentie es un myth. Por scientie, musica, sport etc, litot Europa usa li sam vocabular. Li lingues differe solmen in li grammatica, li pronunciation e li plu commun vocabules. Omnicos directe al desirabilite de un nov lingua franca: On refusa continuar payar custosi traductores.
At solmen va esser necessi far uniform grammatica, pronunciation e plu sommun paroles. Ma quande lingues coalesce, li grammatica del resultant lingue es plu simplic e regulari quam ti del coalescent lingues. Li nov lingua franca va esser plu simplic e regulari quam li existent Europan lingues. It va esser tam simplic quam Occidental in fact, it va esser Occidental. A un Angleso it va semblar un simplificat Angles, quam un skeptic Cambridge amico dit me que Occidental es.
English
The European languages are members of the same family. Their separate existence is a myth. For science, music, sport, etc, Europe uses the same vocabulary. The languages only differ in their grammar, their pronunciation and their most common words. Everyone realizes why a new common language would be desirable: one could refuse to pay expensive translators.
To achieve this, it would be necessary to have uniform grammar, pronunciation and more common words. If several languages coalesce, the grammar of the resulting language is more simple and regular than that of the individual languages. The new common language will be more simple and regular than the existing European languages. It will be as simple as Occidental; in fact, it will be Occidental. To an English person, it will seem like simplified English, as a skeptical Cambridge friend of mine told me what Occidental is.

"neque porro quisquam est, qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit, sed quia non numquam eius modi tempora incidunt ut labore et dolore magnam aliquam quaerat voluptatem. Ut enim ad minima veniam, quis nostrum exercitationem ullam corporis suscipit laboriosam, nisi ut aliquid ex ea commodi consequatur?

--- Marcus Tullis Cicero, "De finibus bonorum et malorum "
English
"Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?"
