Machado de Assis

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Uma homenagem ao meu mestre: Machado de Assis, no Real Gabinete Português de Leitura.
Em 21 de junho de 1839, nascia Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis no Rio de Janeiro. Menino de subúrbio que anos mais tarde, se tornara um gênio da nossa literatura. Foi lendo Memórias Póstumas, Quintas Borba e Dom Casmurro que me apaixonei por sua trajetória.

” Não tive filhos, não transmiti a nenhuma criatura, o legado de nossa miséria. “
( Brás Cubas, pernagem de Machado de Assis)

Filosofa's Word

Do you ever have a topic in mind, know what you want to write about and what you want to say, but you just can’t make the brain send the right words to the fingers to type?  I usually have what I call ‘mind bounce’, where ideas are just bouncing all around in my head, but today I have a case of ‘brainstipation’ where the brain knows but cannot or will not release the ideas to my fingers.  I think it may be a result of news overload or else there is a severed neuro-thingy somewhere between the brain and the fingers, but at any rate, I thought perhaps the best hope for a cure would come from sharing some of the political cartoons I’ve been stashing away for the last week or so!

Paxton, Texas, Texas Gals, Texas politicians, political cartoon
