Brace yourself

Haunted by the past that was, afraid of the future to come, unable to cope with the present that is. Way to go indeed man! Despite all your efforts you never seem to get it quite right. Try again, fail again, fail better, Beckett said. But is that what you have found? No, you cannot say that you have. Not yet apparently. Life took a crooked turn and the path you've found yourself in is narrow and rugged. The apparently well oiled lean mean machine you were conducting so far, has suddenly derrailed, and went off tracks. Brace yourself, brace yourself for the bumpy journey you're about to face.
This is your time. Yours and yours alone. Though you don't walk alone, the Gordian Knot was placed before you only. To disintagle it is proving to be a inhumane challenge, only because it seem you're lacking a sharp blade or, even if you found one, you'll be too fearful to yield it. A problem indeed. Only you have the key. A key whose whereabouts you seem to know not. Sad and terrible. Gotta press on and see what lays ahead. Press on, endure, adapt...survive.

no it can't.

When you think that we've used all our chances

And the chance to make everything right,

Keep on making the same old mistakes

Makes untipping the balance so easy

When we're living our lives on the edge

Say a prayer on the book of the dead

Merchandising

Brilhante e caricata foto encontrada no site da PSP. Nem sei que diga, mas acredito que os próprios se tenham rido a bom rir a tirar a foto, especialmente o James Bond ali bem no meio da foto, ladeado por polícias aparentemente hi-tech, quase sacados dos Stormtroopers do Star Wars. A pose imperial do homem, quase gangsta style, o fatinho, o belo do óculo escuro gigantesco e, claro, a metralhadora, todo um ensemble que ilustraria perfeitamente qualquer coisa do género "C'mon punk, make my day!".

Por outro lado, e após uma análise mais aturada e detalhada da dita foto, quer-me antes parecer que a PSP encontrou um nicho de mercado onde se lançar em busca de receita: as action figures e o merchandising! Um nicho já francamente explorado noutros países:
