Eu protesto, chefia!

by oproprio Email

De repente, corta o vento gelado (do ar condicionado) desta manhã de terça-feira um som ruidoso. É uma corneta, que dá o tom para uma série de outros apetrechos barulhentos advindos da faculdade vizinha. Apitos, pandeiros, batuques e gritos de guerra aumentam o grito original da corneta.
Olho pela janela e vejo um grupo de estudantes sair pelo portão lateral da instituição de ensino e lembro-me dos cara-pintadas durante o governo Collor - movimento que neglicenciei, quando era estudante da unidade UDF do Objetivo. Recordo-me bem que, num dia, alguns colegas se empetecaram para protestar na esplanada, encerrando as aulas naquele turno, e quase morri de achar bom porque estava prestes a zerar o Alex Kidd e pude ir mais cedo para casa para jogar. Não espalhem isso. Sério. Morro de vergonha de lembrar que não fiz parte de um movimento alegre e saudável porque era um apolitizado-nerd do marca maior.
Voltando à faculdade, os estudantes ruidosos não passam de uns 20, 30 no máximo. Isso me remete a outra época, quando eu, já universitário engajado, sempre fiz parte dos movimentos estudantis a e acadêmicos, e pelejava horrores para mobilizar os apolitizados-nerds que me cercavam, fosse para uma melhora departamental, os jogos universitários ou um churrasco de confraternização (em ordem crescente de prioridade, frise-se). Fiquei imaginando o sofrimento dos organizadores daquela passeata ali embaixo em angariar simpatizantes pela causa.
Falando nisso, qual seria a causa abraçada pelo grupo? Seria acadêmica? Política? Estão, em sua maioria, vestidos de roupas vermelhas; então, a coisa foi premeditada, o que aumenta minha admiração pelo protesto e minha consternação pela baixa adesão. Descubro-me morrendo de curiosidade para saber o motivo da manifestação...
Nisso eles saem da insituição e descem, rumando a avenida W4 e o prédio que estou. A descida não dura mais que um minuto, que acompanho atentamente. Estão sorridentes. Não interrompem o trânsito - provavelmente por não terem estrutura numérica para tal - e aguardam paciente e ruidosamente para atravessarem a rua. Fico em pé para observar melhor, e porque eles já estão no pé do prédio e não os vejo de minha cadeira. Eles somem embaixo da marquise e eu desejo estar com eles. Sento-me e começo a escrever essas linhas.

Agora, enquanto encerro este texto, a maioria dos instrumentos já calou. Escuto apenas um pandeiro mal-tocado, num pagode de última categoria - começado 30 segundos depois de sumirem na marquise - que este grupo de "atôas" toca no boteco ao lado, embebedando-se de cerveja às 10h da manhã, matando aula. Vagabundos!

Thanks for an idea, you sparked at thought from a perspective I hadn't thought of yet. Now lets see if I can do something productive with it.

Good read … headline catchy … good points, some of which I have learned along the way as well (humility, grace, layoff the controversial stuff). Will share with my colleagues at work as we begin blogging from a corporate perspective. Thanks!

I like the first point you made there, but I am not sure I could reasonably apply that in a postive way.

Great points…I would note that as someone who really doesn’t comment to blogs much (in fact, this may be my first post), I don’t think the term “lurker” is very flattering to a non-posting reader. It’s not your fault in the least , but perhaps the blogosphere could come up with a better, non-creepy name for the 90% of us that enjoy reading the posts.

Thats some great basics there, already know some of that, but you can always learn more. I doubt a “kid” could put together such information as dolphin278 suggested. Maybe he’s just attempting to be “controversial? lol

Good points…I would note that as someone who really doesn’t write on blogs much (in fact, this may be my first post), I don’t think the term “lurker” is very becoming to a non-posting reader. It’s not your fault really , but perhaps the blogosphere could come up with a better, non-creepy name for the 90% of us that enjoy just reading the posts.

This editorial consists of some pretty engrossing info that one hardly ever finds out. And the point made is inescapable – but however I see no potential by any means of the essential radical shift in outlook !

I was just talking with my coworker about this last week over lunch . Don't remember how in the world we landed on the subject really, they brought it up. I do recall having a amazing chicken salad with cranberries on it. I digress...

I may be late on this. But I found out there are cheats for words w/ friends. It makes the game less fun. Opponents are hard to trust now =/

Nice post but the way the economy is going these days I don't know when we'll ever see the end of it.

I want even more bloggers might compose websites like this that are actually fun you just read. With the nonsense flying around on the internet, it's unusual to read a blog site such as this instead
