O verão esta ai, e com ele o calor, fruto de uma estrela que por obra do acaso se encontra logo ali ao lado, a cerca de 150 milhões de quilómetros (ou 1 Unidade Astronómica - U.A. -, aproximadamente), demorando a sua luz, para chegar até nós, pouco mais de oito minutos.
Esse calor, energia e fonte de vida, trás também perigos. Queimaduras, doenças de pele, eu sei lá...
E pior que isso, trás a libido nos seus braços. Provocando paixões desenfreadas, emoções alienadas, desejos irrepreensíveis.
Neste altura é sabido que as paixões começam. Os nossos corpos, vitimas de um inverno de emoções e calor humano, estão agora havidos de prazer e os seus sentidos estão todos alerta.
- Alerta para servir! - Como diriam os escuteiros.
Baz Luhrmann deixa-nos uns conselhos óptimos para esta época. E com ele vos deixo, despedindo-me com um até...
Já agora amigos... Aproveitem o verão ao seu máximo.

Baz Luhrmann - Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)
"Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ’99.
Wear Sunscreen.
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen
would be
it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by
scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more
reliable
than my own meandering experience…
I will dispense this advice now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth;
oh nevermind; you will not understand the power and beauty of
your youth until they have faded.
But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of
yourself
and recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility
lay before
you and how fabulous you really looked….
You are not as fat as you imagine.
Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying
is as
effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing
bubblegum.
The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that
never crossed your worried mind;
the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.
Do one thing everyday that scares you
Sing
Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts,
don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours.
Floss
Don’t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead,
sometimes you’re behind…
the race is long, and in the end, it’s only with yourself.
Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults;
if you succeed in doing this, tell me how.
Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank
statements.
Stretch
Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with
your life…
the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they
wanted to do with their lives,
some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don’t.
Get plenty of calcium.
Be kind to your knees, you’ll miss them when they’re gone.
Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t,
maybe you’ll have children,maybe you won’t,
maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky chicken
on your 75th wedding anniversary…
what ever you do, don’t congratulate yourself too much or berate
yourself either –
your choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s.
Enjoy your body,
use it every way you can…
don’t be afraid of it, or what other people think of it,
it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own..
Dance…even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living
room.
Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them.
Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel
ugly.
Get to know your parents, you never know when they’ll be gone
for good.
Be nice to your siblings;
they are the best link to your past
and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.
Understand that friends come and go,but for the precious few you
should hold on.
Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle
because the older you get,
the more you need the people you knew when you were young.
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard;
live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you
soft.
Travel.
Accept certain inalienable truths,
prices will rise,
politicians will philander,
you too will get old, and when you do you’ll fantasize that when
you were young
prices were reasonable,
politicians were noble
and children respected their elders.
Respect your elders.
Don’t expect anyone else to support you.
Maybe you have a trust fund,
maybe you have a wealthy spouse;
but you never know when either one might run out.
Don’t mess too much with your hair,
or by the time you're 40, it will look 85.
Be careful whose advice you buy, but,
be patient with those who supply it.
Advice is a form of nostalgia,
dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal,
wiping it off,
painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s
worth.
But trust me on the sunscreen…"
