I could be moved if I were like you: if I could beg to move, then begs would move me. But I'm as steady as the polar star, which is the most fixed star in the sky.

bien podría conmoverme si fuera como tú: Si pudiera rogar para conmover, los ruegos me conmoverían. pero soy tan constante como la estrella polar, de cuya cualidad fija e inmovil.no hay par en el firmamento.

The first step

The first step is always the hardest, but we will see if it is the most rewarding p So far, I have just enjoyed it.

Tribute to George Carlin

, , , ...

I knew about George Carlin just after he died, as one of my favourite writers was also a fan of him.

I wanted to write something since then, but now I found the smartest and most shocking quote of Carlin, that shows my feeling very well.

Originally posted by Carlin:

I look at it this way... For centuries now, man has done everything he can to destroy, defile, and interfere with nature: clear-cutting forests, strip-mining mountains, poisoning the atmosphere, over-fishing the oceans, polluting the rivers and lakes, destroying wetlands and aquifers... so when nature strikes back, and smacks him on the head and kicks him in the nuts, I enjoy that. I have absolutely no sympathy for human beings whatsoever. None. And no matter what kind of problem humans are facing, whether it's natural or man-made, I always hope it gets worse.



Enjoy

Broken

,

That's what I call being broke

p



The value is in colombian pesos... so... wink

Talking about something broke... I recommend a musicians couple called Broken Poets. I found them in Magnatune

They might be called Broken, but their music and lyrics are truly amazing. That's my favourite free musicians group.

You can listen their whole albums for free (in the Creative Commons sense of the word). If you want to support them (or any of the artist in magnatune) just buy the album. You can pay for it what your heart desires.

A must watch

It felt it like a sting on my heart

Could have done better

doh

A lot better.


Maybe I should go to Bath.

Los pacifistas como enemigos del estado

Naturalmente, la gente común no quiere la guerra, pero el pueblo siempre puede ser sometido a la voluntad de sus líderes. Eso es fácil. Todo lo que tienes que hacer es decirles que están siendo atacados y denunciar a los pacifistas por falta de patriotismo y por exponer al país al peligro. Funciona de la misma manera en cualquier país

Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship. ...voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.



Hermann Goering

Any similarity with certain couple of leaders in latinamerica... it is just a coincidence.

Ahoy!

The pirate speaks,"I be sorry for bein' late. I was busy robberin' some guys and drinkin' rum, so t' weekend I had t' spent it at work. But I had a few seconds t' update me site, that will be like this for undefined period o' time. Thanks a lot t' all for comin' in even with t' lack o' activity. Wait... what I just said? I be becomin' a sissy!"

You know I am no good

, , ,

It's been long since the time I posted a sad text... but there are times when things HAVE to end. I cheated myself, like I knew I would, says the song. Trying to fix a broken piece is pointless, as there is no way to recover anything to its initial state. Scars, even on the surface, change completely our point of view on the subject.

This is my post-it note to remember that I have to learn how, what and who I am. Always.

Adios

I leave you, with one of my favourite songs



I never realized how sad the tango really is...

Proper engineering is social engineering

What's the point now of studying engineering? Even engineers don't do things properly...

Volare by Mario and Luigi

I enjoyed this too much.

There are no words needed.

The future of mankind

Thanks to all for leaving us to our destiny; the bad one.


From Scott Adams' Dilbert daily strip

I'm a high school lover. And you're my favourite flavour

, , , ...

I don't have much time neither willingness to write much lately. I hope you can understand.

Thanks for your patience.



I'm a high school lover, and you're my favorite flavor
Love is all, all my soul
You're my playground love

Yet my hands are shaking
I feel my body reeling
Time's no matter, I'm on fire
On the playground love

You're the piece of gold
That flashes on my soul
Extra time, on the ground
You're my playground love

Anytime, anywhere,
You're my playground love.

I might not be the right one

I came to this by accidentally listening an old file I had in a backup.

This song made me remember the good old days.



Original Interstella 5555 version:

Outrageous

, , , ...

What is this? I know Bogotá is not the best place in the world, and I knew normally northamericans have no idea of the rest of the world, but this is incredible. (Besides, it is an excuse to post another completely useless new post). I am watching Mr. and Mrs. Smith and I am totally amazed about how it starts. It says 'We met in Colombia. In Bogotá, 5 years ago...' and then, the shock: a series of scenes of a town, filled with bombs and guns and chickens, people speaking in mexican accent and a... taste of 38 degrees centrigrade with fans included.

Outrageous. Are we that shallow? wink


P.S. Ohh my... I do not know why I am still watching this. It is an awful movie.

Revelations

It's been a while since I became so horribly annoying:

Republicans, please stay away from this post.

What's wrong with giving heartful answers? sad

I will behave like an engineer from now on.

Note that I said this because my post in spanish was heavily critized, almost like if it had been a CoD of any important matter and I have not realized that... too bad sad

Sorry

, , , ...

I am sorry of my absence from MyOpera. I have been quite busy at college and work I haven't been able to find the time to post a few ideas I have in my mind.

As an omage to this day, and an answer to Patritzya's 'HiHiHi' post I leave you with a song I love a lot:

I will possess your heart

, , , ...

I do not really know what is going on with this song. The lyrics [below] are stupid; there are no special points in the rythm of the song that makes it particularily impressive, the bass and guitar are awfully repetitive, the voice is almost plain. It is boring like hell... it is like listening a rocker version of Satisfaction. So why in heaven do I like it so much? Anybody knowledgable of rock music can explain me this?



How I wish you could see the potential, the potential of you and me
It's like a book elegantly bound, but in a language that you can't read - just yet
You gotta spend some time--love, you gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find--love, I will possess your heart (x2)


There are days when outside your window, I see my reflection as I slowly pass
And I long for this mirrored perspective, when we'll be lovers, lovers at last
You gotta spend some time--love, you gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find--love, I will possess your heart(x2)

I will possess your heart (x2)

You reject my advances and desperate pleas
I won't let you, let me down so easily, so easily

You gotta spend some time--love, you gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find--love, I will possess your heart (x3)

I will possess your heart (x2)
