life is a string of moments

i'm working at my desk, the sky is dark and thundering outside, so the inside looks unnaturally light. seu jorge sings 'rebel rebel' comfortingly inside my ears in a language i don't understand, and my crazy portuguese buddy is still at the desk next to me. he leaves next week, but this moment is a peaceful one, and i'll freeze the frame to make it last forever.

p.s.: this post is now a little fraudulent, because while writing it 3 different people came and broke the spell in quick succession. ah well.
