VIAGEM NO TEMPO

REAL TIME TRAVEL: DEPARTING IN 2021 AND ARRIVING AT OXMANTOWN ROAD IN DUBLIN, IRELAND, IN 1903. VIAGEM NO TEMPO: EU PARTI EM 2021 E CHEGUEI NA RUA OXMANTOWN EM DUBLIN, IRLANDA, EM 1903.

BELOW YOU CAN READ AND LISTEN TO THE ORMONTOWNE'S ABSTRACT AND SONGS. LOGO ABAIXO VOCÊ PODE LER UM 'ABSTRACT' E AS MÚSICAS QUE ESCOLHI PARA ESTA VIAGEM.

THE ABSTRACT NAMED 'CLOSE ENCOUNTER WITH A SHADOW OF THE PAST' IS A REFERENCE TO THIS REAL TIME TRAVEL, TO THE PAST, WHEN THIS ROAD HAD ONLY SMALL FACTORIES AND WAS COMPLETELY DESOLATE. I MANAGED TO GET THE PICTURE OF THIS ROAD  WHEN I WAS THERE IN 1903 (SEE PICTURE ABOVE). O ABSTRACT, CHAMADO DE CONTATO IMEDIATO COM UMA SOMBRA DO PASSADO, É UMA REFERÊNCIA A ESTA VIAGEM NO TEMPO, PARA O PASSADO, QUANDO ESTA RUA TINHA APENAS PEQUENAS FÁBRICAS E ERA COMPLETAMENTE DESOLADA. QUANDO EU ESTIVE LÁ, EM 1903, EU DEI UM JEITO DE CONSEGUIR UMA FOTO DA RUA (VEJA A FOTO ACIMA). A FOTO FOI TIRADA DE COSTAS PARA A RUA KILDARE, AO FINAL DA OXMANTOWN ROAD.

THIS ROAD WAS FOUNDED BY THE VIKINGS IN THE 12TH CENTURY.  AT THAT TIME THEY WERE CALLED 'OSTMEN'. NOWADAYS THE NAME OF THE ROAD IS OXMANTOWN. THE VIDEO SHOWS THE DUBLIN BUS ROUTE 172 DRIVING ALONG THE MODERN OXMANTOWN ROAD TOWARDS KILDARE STREET. ESTA RUA FOI FUNDADA PELOS VIKINGS NO SÉCULO 12 E ERAM CHAMADOS DE OSTMEN. HOJE EM DIA O NOME DA RUA MUDOU PARA OXMANTOWN ROAD. O VÍDEO ABAIXO MOSTRA UM ONIBUS DE DUBLIN, DA LINHA 172, TRANSITANDO PELA MODERNA OXMANTOWN ROAD ATÉ A RUA KILDARE

ABSTRACT = RESUMO ACADÊMICO DE UMA TESE, MAS NESTE CASO, O ABSTRACT TEM UMA CONOTAÇÃO POÉTICA E VERDADEIRA - REALMENTE ACONTECEU

(NÃO POSSO, AINDA, AMPLIAR ESTE ABSTRACT QUE ESCREVI SOBRE ESTA VIAGEM NO TEMPO E QUE, UM DIA,  PODERÁ SERÁ TRANSFORMADA EM LIVRO - TRATA-SE DE UM DRAMA NÃO RESOLVIDO NO PASSADO, COM REPERCUSÃO NO PRESENTE, E EU PRECISO, SE UM DIA CONSEGUIR ENQUANTO ESTIVER VIVO, LÁ VOLTAR PARA DEIXAR TUDO NO LUGAR AS COISAS QUE ACHO QUE ANDEI DESARRUMANDO POR LÁ E QUE REMONTAM A UM PASSADO MAIS DISTANTE QUE 1903)


THERE WE GO

I'M ON A TRAIN TO DUBLIN. I'LL BE THERE IN A COUPLE OF HOURS. WHEN I GET THERE WE'LL CELEBRATE OUR NUMINOUSNESS ON YOUR ORMONTOWNE ROAD. DON'T STOP PLAYING. PLAY ON AND ON LEST OUR IMAGINATION DAYS ARE GONE. WE'LL NEVER SEE OUR HISTORIES COME TO AN END. EVEN OUR PROLOGUES WILL SEEM BOUNDLESS. WHAT HAPPENED IN 1903 DOES NOT SURPRISE ME, AS YOU KNOW WE TRAVELLED TO THE PAST MORE THAN A FEW TIMES, AND ONLY ONCE TO THE FUTURE, BUT THAT'S ANOTHER STORY. WHAT AMAZES ME IS MEETING WITH YOU AGAIN IN THE BEGINNING OF THE 20TH CENTURY, AND NOT IN OUR PRESENT DAYS, THE FIRST 22 YEARS OF THE 21ST CENTURY. THAT'S SOMETHING I CAN'T UNDERSTAND, EVEN THOUGH YOU LIKE THINGS THAT CAN'T BE EXPLAINED. YOU KNOW WHAT? WHOEVER IS READING THIS WILL THINK THAT I AM NUTS. BUT YOU'RE MY BOLTS! GOOD PUNNING, AIN'T IT? OK, JUST FAIR TO MIDDLING. RIGHT NOW SOMETHING CROSSED MY MIND. WHO'S THE SCREW DRIVER THAT FASTEN US TOGETHER? COINCIDENCE? CHANCE? WHAT ABOUT SYNCRONICITY? YEAH, THAT WOULD BE AS WASTING TIME AS TRYING TO FIND THE MEANING OF LIFE. FORGET IT! YOU'D BETTER KEEP ON PLAYING. MUSIC IS THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES LIFE WORTH LIVING. YOU KNOW, PEOPLE SAY MUSIC CAN CHEER YOU UP AND EASE YOUR MIND AND SOUL.. BUT IT TURNS OUT THAT SOME OF THEM INVENTED IN MY DREAMS TOSS AND TURN ME IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT, GET ME OUT OF MY BRAIN ON THE 5:15, OUT OF MY BRAIN ON THIS TRAIN TO DUBLIN. YOU MIGHT AS WELL UNRAVEL THE MYSTERIES OF THOSE CREATIVE AND AMAZING JOURNEY DRIVERS. AFTER ALL, I'VE NEVER MISSED A TRAIN YOU'RE ON, HAVE NEVER BROKEN ITS RHYTHM, NEVER TOOK IT IN VAIN.

  2. Hi body, you do not need a machine to make a time travel. All you need is your mind, persistent training, discipline, and just a little bit of extrasensorial perception, specially when sleeping - this is how I do it: when I am sleeping, I can project my conciousness off the brain and drift in space. Luckily I end up somewhere in the past sometimes, roughly once or twice a year.

  8. Hello, Anônimo! This is Inglesa Luso-Chinesa writing on behalf of Alceu. I'm afraid the translation into English will take longer than planned. Hang on and Happy New Year!
