No Golfo, também sopra a brisa fresca...


Vocês, meus estimados amigos, a razão de ser do meu parco mas esforçado blog e todos aqueles que, amantes do Árabe, planaram até ao título deste moleskine, merecem tudo.

Depreendo também que muitos de vocês se perguntarão como será possível que "aquele gajo que está no Dubai e nós aqui no nosso Portugalzinho", 80 % do que escreve é lamento, pesar, desconforto e introspecção inflaccionada.

Se 50% daqueles 80 (30% são delírios do leitor, genialmente induzidos por mim) são possivelmente verdade, ainda nos restam outros 50%.

Estejam descansados, meus estimados, que isso significa que "aquele gajo que está no Dubai" não denota traços depressivos nem uma tendenciosa e parcial aptência para a Sociologia de Bolso.

É então, dos outros 50 por cento que vos quero falar.

O Dubai tem que ser encarado com sentido de humor.
O que me pareceu trágico, afigura-se-me agora como cómico.

E é verdade que há muita coisa aqui que não acontece em nenhum local do Universo, quanto mais nos brandos costumes de Portugal.

Meus caros, refiro-me ao denominador comum por cá: a Exuberância!
As Peitudas dos Automóveis - Alguém se lembra desta película de 1987 com o título original em Eslovaco Kozy Vozy?

Contam-se pelos dedos de um pé, quantas vezes por dia, em Portugal, se apanha um murro da Exuberância (quanto muito da extravagância...).

A Exuberância exige dinheiro. E Portugal é pobre.
A Exuberância clama por dimensão. E Portugal é pequeno.
A Exuberância brada às dinastias. E Portugal é uma Democracia.

Portugal já foi rico, grande e dinástico.
Mas já não é.
Já não é Exuberante.

Acontece que o meu querido homónimo, de seu apelido Gouveia, durante um cafezinho de portugueses (tem que ser para se chorar em conjunto uma vez por semana!) com a sua mui amável esposa, Dona Carina, trabalha no Dubai Autodrome.

Já em jeito de despedida:
"É pa...tenho aqui algumas credenciais. Vai haver uma corrida das Speedcar Series. Passem por lá...".
"Obrigado João...Dá cumprimentos lá em casa".

Programa de Sábado à tarde (que correspondia ao nosso imaculado Domingo de futebol português - agora joga tudo à noite, em dias de trabalho e não deixam entrar tremoços...), "romeira-se" ao Autódromo, às corridas de cavalo, aos jogos de cricket e ainda, se formos mais fundo, às impressionantes corridas de camelo (sim, estes animais não saltam barreiras mas correm...).
Entrei, a recordar-me das intermináveis sessões de Fórmula 1 do pós-almoço domingueiro no Canal 1.
Ali estavam as meninas peitudas por todos os lados, boxes abertas, em exposição de um lado, Lamborghinis Gallardos, Maseratis ali, Ferraris acolá e, ao fundo, o acesso à pole position, antes da partida.

"Ó Tiago...aquele gajo ali parece-me o Jean Alesi."
"É verdade Sardo. Mas olha que ali só pode ser o Johnny Herbert".
E era.

Sir Johnny Herbert, a Trail of Dead Fan, with the Portuguese Commission

Aqui está grande parte daqueles 50%.

Como daquela vez que vimos no Dubai (Ovo) Mall (o maior do mundo!) Rivaldo a cruzar-se com o estilista português João Rolo, denotando total desconhecimento um pelo outro...

Caríssimos, tudo isto é Exuberante.
Tudo isto é cómico!

Mais oui, c´est Jean Alesi!

J Sardo,

Do and buy..."Du", so se for a operadora de telecomunicacoes; "buy", nos intervalos desta teu maravilhoso relato da experiencia Arabesca, orienta um daqueles papeis em tons ictéricia com barra superior colante e elabora a listinha de mantimentos a providenciar para Barbecue em "Greens"... Aguardo directivas.

Pois é meu caro amigo. Efectivamente, e salvaguardando as devidas medidas de uma pequena, mas inevitável redundância dos termos, essas Speedcar Series constituem um conceito que se enquadra perfeitamente no conceito "ocidental" que se têm do Dubai e essas bandas poeirentas do Beira-Golfo:
Mais uma carolice para malta terrivelmente abastada, que, para espantar o tédio de uma antecipada e farta reforma, se diverte a fazer corridas aos fins de semana em bestas com mais de 600 cavalos.

Uma dolce vita...

E pelas imagens deu pra ver que o Sir Johnny Herbert continua um grande senhor! Pena não se apanhar o Villeneuve.

Aquele abraço.

Never have your SS# printed on your checks I think that is when some people emboldened by the earlier Pythagorean partial inclusion of the knowledge into Therapeutae systems like the Essenes, started to study it and write something about it These chemicals, as well as chemicals in the water supply, reduce the good bacteria in the gut) Your community may only have vets that do a little bit of everything ? and there's nothing wrong with that, if that's all that's available, but I'll remind you ? you usually go to a specialist for your health issues, don't you?If you're new in the community, or haven't needed a vet before ? word of mouth is a great way to start looking for a new vet
