Dark Sin

eat me
DARK SIN: I called them, for many years, my old love for chocolate… And I always felt SOOO guilty for liking my dear Dark friend, but…

NOT ANYMORE !! :-)

 I agree 100% with the portuguese writer, Fernando Pessoa, who said: “Look, there’s no metaphysics on earth like the ‘chocolate’.

In the magazine Natural Solutions for the month of May, says that chocolate can help your skin, giving it with a healthier appearance… Because of flavonoids (plant pigments), which act as antioxidants. They help to protect our skin from damage by ultra violet rays.

In the study by Dr. Gerbstad, participants consumed 20 grams of dark chocolate for 12 weeks and showed greater resistance to these rays that damage our skin.

Also, he said, in additional studies, people who regularly drink hot chocolate (with cocoa powder without sugar) showed a 25% reduction in the redness of the skin, a problem that many people suffer from.

HOW MUCH TO EAT:

Dr. Gerbstadt recommends one ounce of strong chocolate  or mix 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder wth a glass of milk…

What I have done for long time is to put cocoa powder in my milk with cereal in the morning, and it is simply DIVINE! I do not use milk, I use soy milk, and the vanilla flavor already comes sweetened, so it is PERFECT.

Sure you shouldn’t be stuffing yourself with chocolate, and use wisdom and moderation on the subject, because of pimples, which I believe, honestly, being the excess sugar and fat in chocolate bar and not cocoa.

Man can not live by chocolate alone… but I think many women can…… ;-)

A Kick in the Heart

Every four years, my heart is severely kicked by 22 men running after a ball.

OMG… how how that hurts!

And how difficult is to wear this yellow and green shirt and watch a simple football game!

copa mali watching

This game, which begins with a kick has a very simple rule: If it moves, you have to kick it, if it doesn’t move, kick until it does!

And then there is the player that dances and softshoes with the ball….

But also, to say that these 22 men are paid, just to kick a ball, is like saying that a violin is just a piece of wood with some strings…

But today, in a world so haunted by bad things happening ALL at the same time, the football field, now is a place where sanity and hope are left totally alone.

Some people say that football is a matter of life and death, to which I disagree, adding that it is much more than that… :-)

Biological Free Way

…Is what it’s called where we live.

A paradise for birds, and one of the largest migratory paths of America, the Gulf of Mexico.

Here the sunrise is like this.

A place that has recently been needing all your positive energy, prayers and efforts.

After almost two months struggling with the largest eco-terrorism in history.
There are more than 10,000 species of birds in this world.

There are more than 10,000 species of birds in this world.

Pelicano branco e gaivota
Five hundred different species of them, live here. And the two up there work together all the time.

I mean, fish… and pelicans let the seagulls eat what’s left over.

GORGEOUS, GORGEOUS, GORGEOUS.

The seagull is the symbol of our city and the pelicans of the region.

Millions pass through, land each year, in one of the most dramatic migrations that happens on earth.

Pelicanos vistos de cima

From March to May from the south, fleeing the cold.

Migration

Flying 20-24 hours straight, especially the evening, but not always …

All depending on if the winds are good.

bird migration ducks

Fifty percent die because this crossing is 600 miles  above this vast gulf – estuary

Months later, they return to nest.

What happens NOW.

And how are they different than us.

They build their nests, but leave everything as it was before.

Use whatever talent you have to help them because any place, any forest, would be very quiet without the presence these marvelous creatures.

Please pass this post along to your Facebook, Twitter, Orkut or other social site. Besides them, 110 million people live and thousands depend on the sea coast in America.

The Boss

I am very proud to be a Jack Russell Terrier …

Toby JRT1

Well … at least, fleas love me!

Sorry, that was hard to resist. ;-)

But as I use both ”Confortis” and “Sentinel” it is I who am killing them. ALL.

My friend Shiloh, as well.

We are the true “Terminators”. The FleaBusters!

See how important we are?

Toby co-pilot

(Actually, he is not proud to be a JRT because to do so, he would need to recognize that he is a JRT as well, to recognize that and not “human” and that he is not the King).

A few days ago I met a pretty little girl by the fence next door, but now she has grown so much, she scares me. So I get higher to check her out.

Every Saturday at noon, when the bell rings the city, I train my voice, trying to howl, but it’s not going too far… If it was a bit beyond the whisper, I think I would be a great and famous howler.

Toby parkalindo
My biggest fear, is being suddenly awoken, but then I pretend I’m angry and I keep my image unshaken. Also those big low flying pelicans look like airplanes. Scary.

I think I’m cute and very charming. People have praised the way I walk, trot and do a dance that I myself invented.

I also consider myself funny, but I confess that sometimes I’m kind of lazy.

Didn’t I tell you this before?
Oh, it’s because maybe I was too lazy to count.

Many people do not believe it, but I’m pretty, because I love vegetables. I that the ones that are crispy are those that help my appearance more. My favorites.

Any creature stepping into my territory is chased away vehemently. Especially the big ones that have tails and are trying to hide ‘stuff’ in my backyard. My friend Shiloh always helps me in this task.

And they call us SQUIRLFRENICS.

Jack Russels, do not get along well with inactivity.

Moving is life for us.

Toby lookbehind

Me and Shiloh just fight over bones. And she’s a very hungry baby and likes to steal mine. And sometimes I get distracted with more important things in life than eating.

I know I still have MUCH to learn about the world.

But I like to learn and obey that’s why they will send me back to school. I’ll graduate. I’m almost there…
