Se eu fosse músico...

...compunha esta canção.


A letra desta música quase podia ter sido escrita por mim, está perfeita. Diz tudo o que eu penso. Mas como não sou músico nem sei escrever, ainda bem que existe alguém tão talentoso para o fazer por mim.

A única coisa onde não me revejo é a limpar atrás das orelhas todas as manhãs. Esqueço-me sempre de lavar essa parte do corpo. Falha minha.

I'm a pretty good guy—
I scrub behind my ears each morning,
And I floss every night.

I care about the environment—
Nowadays people seem to admire that—
And yet,
It's so hard to find a friend...

If you don't drink,
If you don't smoke,
If you don't wanna poke
Everything with a pulse,
You're a loser,
A disaster,
They're perpetually telling you to grow up faster.
Well, if that's what it takes to be cool,
Someone needs to change the rules.

I'm impossibly kind—
I'll never ever forget your birthday,
And I'll always care what's on your mind.

I'll go with you to the fair—
And maybe if we're lucky I can win you a bear—
So where
Is someone when I need someone there?

If you don't drink,
If you don't smoke,
If you don't wanna poke
Everything with a pulse,
You're a loser,
A disaster,
They're perpetually telling you to grow up faster.
Well, if that's what it takes to be cool,
Someone needs to change the rules.

I am a vegan,
And I ride my bicycle whenever I can.
I've got a feeling I could save the world—
If I had someone to help me...

Outside on every street
I pass a multitude of people
That I'd never wanna meet—
As they stagger to a place where they'll carouse all night,
I just wanna cry and yell at them with all my might,
I just wanna stop and tell them that it's not okay
For them to fritter every second of their life away like that!
I wanna say, hey! Why can't you see?
You don't know what a party is
Till you've hung out with me...
We can dance through the puddles in the empty streets
We can warm up and cuddle in between the sheets
We can make popcorn on the stove
We can watch X-men
Parts one, two, and/or three...

If you don't drink,
If you don't smoke,
If you don't wanna poke
Everything with a pulse,
You're a loser,
A disaster,
They're perpetually telling you to grow up faster.
Well, if that's what it takes to be cool,
Someone needs to change the rules,
Send me back to elementary school
So I can play all day in my kiddy pool,
Never have to worry about how buff I'm not,
Never have to worry about how tough I'm not, and
Maybe I won't even notice whether I am loved or not—
I dunno.
I dunno,
I dunno...

I don't know what to do.
I'm in a quandary
It's clear I need somebody
But I cannot seem to find out who...

And if they're anything like me,
It's likely that this person would be tricky to see,
So if you do,
Would you please refer them to me?

'Cause I don't drink...
And I don't smoke...
But I could brighten up
Your day with a joke—
If you let me...
Once you've met me,
Maybe I can make it so you never want to forget me...

Maybe we could change the rules.

O que é que eu estou a fazer?

Acabei agora mesmo de animar um plano de uma animação que estou a fazer e fiquei tão contente com o resultado que vou ter de partilhar aqui.



E porque é que estou contente? Por causa do Lip Sync. Para quem não sabe o que significa, é quando temos uma personagem que fala e temos de animar a boca sincronizada com o som.
É a primeira vez que estou a animar Lip Sync em desenho, e tenho vindo a aprender muitas coisas.

Mas o que é que esta personagem está a dizer? Eu tirei o som "de p'pósito poque é uma shhhhupêsa", como diria uma tia de Cascais. Por isso, se quiserem saber vão ter de esperar que a animação esteja completa.

Abáços à la Lili Caneça, amores.
