She said

"Why are you so far away?," she said,

"Why won't you ever know
That I'm in love with you,
That I'm in love with you?"

"Show me how you do it," he replied,
"And I promise you I promise that
I'll run away with you,
I'll run away with you."

Dream of a better world

"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.
He has been given a large brain by mistake,
since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice.
This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once.
Heroism at command, senseless brutality,
and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism,
how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is;
I would rather be torn to shreds than be part of so base an action!
It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."

Albert Einstein dixit

Stop the war. Stop the forgotten wars. Stop all wars. Stop the arms trade. Stop this globalization. Stop this world run by the rich. Stop this world managed by governments. Stop the crippling capitalism. Stop lobbies. Stop the banks enriched thanks to our mortgages. Stop the polluting companies. Stop the polluting people. Stop those who wreck that that is not theirs: our environment.

Here you are, today my reddest self has risen up!

Homage to St Patrick

Ok, I know I'm late, but I've been too busy to post something 'bout St Patrick's Day and I had no inspiration... Last Saturday I worked on morning shift, so I had to wake up at 5.30 in the morning and so I wasn't human all throughout the day. I had no inspiration till 2 am in the Sunday morning (thanks Laura and your liver xD).

The thing is, you have below my pic in honour of St Patrick's Day (well, it was taken on my b'day's celeb :-P) and all that it involves (mainly Guinness xD), and the inspiration Laura brought to my crazy mind: Pont Aeri vol. 4 - Flying Free's lyrics, changed on the occasion of such a special day. I recommend you to sing/read it accompanied on the original song. Nengs, enjoy :-)

Pont Aeri vol. 4 - Drinking Free

Since 1759, there is a beer which is killing livers.
248 years later, in 2007, it's still kicking: Guinness beer!

When the beer begins to flow,
it's the time to feel St Patrick's Day,
the sensations you will find,
in this large beer pint.

Just let leprechauns free,
Beer drinkology,
pints, head and Irish pubs,
In this beer brewery...

Drinking free,
feel the hangover,
a place to drink,
Guinness brewery!

Ha estallado la paz (interior)

Otra vez un mar en calma, sin oleaje, sin espuma, sólo el vaivén del agua que te acaricie los pies y la brisa rozando tu piel... y que ésta sea tu vida, y que éste sea tu corazón, y que ésta sea la playa de tu vida. Todos necesitamos entregarnos de vez en cuando a este mar.

Llega un punto en el que estamos hartos de luchar. Nada de tormentas, ya.

Reply to comments on "Reload"

Salva: You have a wound on your skin. You give it fresh air and patient time, it heals up. You give it stubborn touch and persistent review, you keep wounded. You choose.

But I can't deny that, in some cases, you're right. But I don't think it's the case we mean this time.

Ai lun na: jajaja de fet, la intenció d'alguns articles és dir el que vull dir d'una forma enigmàtica i que deixi moltes portes obertes a lectures i interpretacions. De tota manera, sempre estic obert a aclarir el que vull dir amb l'entrada que sigui: "Reload" es podria titular també "Introductory Guidelines to Escape from Unpleasant Events in Your Life and Overcome Them Better and Stronger" (toma títol xD).

Per cert, demà examen de xinès... suposo que no hauràs estudiat, oi?:-D

Hao: check the song now~~~:-D

Tomorrow is the beginning to two stressful weeks, summed up on the pic below: study on the first week, and Ireland on the second -but I'm not goin' there just as a camera-equipped tourist xD. Oh, and both hotel job and hangover on both weekends (if I'm assigned morning shift on the second one I'm gonna die xD).
Ok, a commercial, dance, energy-feeling song, brought to you by Hao from China to face in good condition these two weeks.

Reload

Do what you have never done, go where you have never gone.
Renew yourself. Regenerate yourself. Reinvent yourself.
Don't try to go backwards, it's impossible: you just can go forwards.
Therefore, take resolute steps.
Break with the path you're just leaving behind.

May 2006

"Walker your footprints

are the path; nothing else is.
Walker, there is no path
The path is made in the walking.
When walking we make the path
and looking back
We only see the path
We will never walk again."

Antonio Machado

Wake up, wake up

I think I do know what are dreams for: they are good at helping us making them come true. As we dream, we don’t work, and dreams are embraced just as long as one works. We wanna get to make our dreams come true, right? Then, once again, dreams are no good at all for our purposes, since they don’t belong to reality and so they alienate us from it, making it totally impossible for us to achieve them.

What way can something not belonging to reality influence it? No way.

Moral: don’t dream. If you dream while awake, that’s because you don’t get enough sleep at night. Get as much sleep as you need to, and when awake your time won’t go to waste in dreaming, but you’ll work. And then you’ll get rid of those dreams you’d never seize, and your hand will reach them since they’ll then already belong to reality.

"Sleep deep and have a nice week"
