I'M NOT DEAD (YET)

Saturday, 9. February 2008, 17:17:16

It has been a long time since I put anything in this blog. But this is the blog saying "I'm not dead!". I have been trying to write in English, both academic things, and other stuff for the Dead Prose Writers Society of Turnberry Road (a zombie-like mutation from the former philosophical society of Kelvinhaugh Street). But I realise that I really need to try harder. For that reason, I am starting to write again in this blog more regularily. That is why the blog is raising its voice from the grave to haunt the living.

To continue with the ghostly mood, I will comment a ghostly musical (is that posible? yes, it is) and some other worthless subjects.

By the way, it would be unfair not to mention the kind reminding from Frank, the German Retriever, the inmediate reason for resuming my English blogging.

Trips, Meditation, Glasgow

Perhaps I am not a very cosmopolite person, but some days ago I was deeply impressed by the image of river Kelvin in a moment of increased turbulent flow. If I was from a city by a river, or by the sea, it would perhaps not impress me as much as it did, but the experience of that image is pervaded by local flavor, which may be, for somebody from the tropic, something similar to a lack of flavor.
River Kelvin, going through the middle of Kelvingrove park, is some 10 meters wide, and its waters look green, more because of vegetal residues than by the growth of Spirogyra algae that use to dye tropical waters when the flow is slow enough to allow for a good and placid exposition to sun light.
