"The major problem - one of the major problems, for there are several - one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.

"To summarize: it is a well known fact, that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job. To summarize the summary of the summary: people are a problem.

"And so this is the situation we find: a succession of Galactic Presidents who so much enjoy the fun and palaver of being in power that they very rarely notice that they're not.

"And somewhere in the shadows behind them - who?

"Who can possibly rule if no one who wants to do it can be allowed to?"

Spiderman

?Por que tengo esta doble vida? ?Por que no me limito a ser Peter y ya? Yo tenia suenyos y planes. Pero la culpa es mas fuerte que todo.

Cada vez que trato de llevar una vida normal y hacer lo que todo mundo hace la culpa no me deja. Quiero cumplir con mis citas y mis tareas, tener una vida donde pueda distinguir cuando es tiempo para trabjar y cuando es tiempo para disfrutar. Pero la culpa no me deja!

Cada vez que oigo una sirena o veo un crimen la culpa me recuerda que en el pasado yo no hice lo apropiado. Cada sirena cada crimen que evito es una oportunidad para borrar el pasado. !Pero no se borra! !No se borra! Por mas esfuerzos que haga.

Y esta obsesion se esta comiendo mi vida, la vida de Peter, por la obsesion de este bicho en el que me he convertido.

Books and beds

I am not the best person to ask about books these days...close your eyes and try to think what is besides my bed...ok now that you have thought something check below...

In one side I have tens of postcards of the places I have been and paper and envelopes...from time to time I write to friends and family as the inspiration comes to me.
On the other side I have:
A book-guide to make the best paper airplanes in the world. (Including sheets to tear out and fold)
A book-essay about the film director Wim Wenders
The 5 books of the Trilogy that started with the Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy.
Have you seen the movie?

What is besides your bed?

We only come out at night.

Algo me duele dentro de la boca, en la piel, junto a un diente, un dolor se ha albergado. Y me cuesta levantarme e irme. Salir a la noche fria no es invitante. Me duele tambien el alma, me da un ataque a la consciencia este estado de inatencion a lo que importa y a lo que no. Dividido entre el dolor y la busqueda se que solo hay una manera de hacer esto. Levantarme e irme.

We only come out at night, the days are much too bright
We only come out at night
And once again, you'll pretend to know me well, my friends
And once again, I'll pretend to know the way
Thru the empty space
Thru the secret places of the heart
We only come out at night, the days are mush too bright
We only come out at night
I walk alone, I walk alone to find the way home
I'm on my own, I'm on my own to see the ways
That I can't help the days, you will make it home o.k.
I know you can, and you can
We only come out at night, the days are much too bright
We only come out at night
And once again, you'll pretend to know that
There's an end, that there's an end to this begin
It will help you sleep at night
It will make it seem that right is always right
Alright?
We only come out at night

Cuesta

De vez en cuando se antoja escribir sinsentidos, no siempre es facil hacerlo.

El proposito inicial de esta bitacora es registrar todos esos momentos e ideas que por un momento parecieran trabadas en mi cabeza queriendo escapar. Y aunque esto parece muy facil de hacer, no lo es tanto cuando lo que se deja escapar es...un sinsentido. Que no lo es tanto finalmente. Porque "algun sentido" tendra el hecho de que sienta o piense algo

Hope and sights

A German friend of mine commented me about what might happened in Germany with rainbows. They disappered! This was during WWII.

This reminds me that sometimes we are blind because we don't want to see. Not because something doesn't exist.

The first time I thought about it was while reading about the following situation:

You never have seen a cat in your city and one day you have an excited discussion about cats with someone. Suddenly in the next days you start bumping into cats...more cats than never ever in your life.

Or you never see someone you know but one day a third person and you are talking loads about that someone. In the next days you will see this someone everywhere you go.

Who was writting about this asked then: Are we summoning things and persons when we talk about them? Or it is just that they were always there but, suddenly, the mention of them makes us to be aware of their presence.

So maybe on those days people in Germany were not able to summon hope, or they couldn't see their hope because their minds and eyes were busy...

As John Lennon sang to his son... "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans".

Marion

"I was never lonely, nor alone, nor with others. But I would have liked to be alone at last. Loneliness means: I'm at last whole. How I can say it, as tonight I'm at last alone.

"I must put an end to coincidence. The new moon of decision. I don't know if there's destiny, but there's a decision! Decide!

"We are now the times. Not only the whole town, the whole world is taking part in our decision. We two are now more than us two. We incarnate something. We are sitting in the place of the people and the whole place is full of people who are dreaming the same dream. We are deciding everyone's game!

"I am ready. Now it's your turn. You hold the game in your hand. Now or never!"

The comfortable side of me

I wrote in a personals page:

Romance cannot be continuous...it's like eating your favourite food every day. It will cease to be your favourite. Then, even when we find our perfect partner, the relationship should be enriched by the common and routine things.

And a routine life with someone needs a good communication...and communication is usually achieved sharing an activity. Then some days ago I decided that looking for an activity partner should be a first step. Instead of looking for my "princess" in a first instance! Get to know someone doing something that we both like. And I chose salsa! But it could be something else...Would you like to try?

Why salsa? Well, if you like dancing I can guarantee it will be fun!

But it doesn't need to be dancing...from having a tea/coffe/ale/wine in a cosy place to cycling in the woods...including playing badminton or squash, I am open to what our mood can decide.
