Tibet

Why not have a look at a Chinese point of view? Whatever you think about Tibet, it is always good to listen to the other side of the story...

There is still hope for world, there is still some people that have usage of their own brain and that are using it for the good of the world, our world!

I'm not a big greenie but I'm working on it. This morning instead of leaving my home computer ON as I always do, I put it in standby. After all, I'm not using it so there's no reason it should be on... I also got rid of my TV set, even before watching this video. I didn't throw it away, I just gave it to a friend that still wants to watch that crap...

Where did the world go wrong? - Part 1

In th beginning he went hunting, and fishing if he was near the water. He also collected fruit on the way.

But fruit was not his preferred food, he really liked the produce of his hunt. It was the tastiest of all the food he could get. And also the most rewarding, the physical prowess required to catch his food made him very proud. And very respected in the community. The women also appreciated his strong muscles and his face battered by weather and time spent in the hunt.

One day, tired of wandering around, following the fleeting herds of food, he decided to settle down. No more running and huting, he wanted to spend time with his friends and moreover with his wife and kids. He had discovered the joy of love, he had discovered that that thing he did to women led to pregnancy and pregnancy led to a child being born. An awesome discovery it was for him for now he felt responsible for the newborns. Kids were not anymore a woman's business only. Knowing this, he wanted to spend more and more time with her. And with the kids!

Some other discoveries he made helped him accomplish this endeavor. He coudn't have settled without food and just now he had made a discovery that changed his life forever. Forever?

Inconcluso - La hija de Sergei

Sergei besó a su hija en ambas mejillas y comprendió. La conocía demasiado bien como para ignorarlo, ya no era el único y más importante hombre en la vida de su hija. El amor puro y filial ahora tenía competencia. Sergei lo entendió inmediatamente y entendió también que no tenía ninguna chance de ganar. Su hija pronto se alejaría de él para emprender una nueva vida.

Ticket to Ride

I think I'm gonna be sad,
I think it's today, yeah.
The girl that's driving me mad
Is going away.

She's got a ticket to ride,
She's got a ticket to ride,
She's got a ticket to ride,
But she don't care.

Yes she is. One of the girls that's driving me mad is leaving. She's going back to the East where she came from. She doesn't have her ticket to ride yet but in her mind she's already gone.

Anyway, right now there are too many girls that drive me mad. One day I tried to count them and the result was 8 but my friend had to remind of 2 more that I was forgetting. I need to put some order in my mind and heart, focus. I will not achieve anything if I don't focus. The whole point of being mad for a girl is to try to achieve something and make her be mad about you. If everytime I start working towards getting something done I start thinking what will happen with any of the others that I happen to like too, nothing gets done and I end up with a ticket to nowhere.

You may be thinking: What a kid! Well, I'm no kid. Actually I'm pretty old for this kind of hesitation and by the standards of my country I should already be married and my wife be pregnant of our second kid. Well, that hasn't happened and if I don't make up my mind it's not going to happen anytime soon.

Some have suggested making a list of priorities. It could be a good idea, if only I was able to do that sort of thing. It so happens that my mind doesn't work that way and I'm completely unable to make any kind of list and prioritization.

I absolutely need to think out a plan...

I wish she didn't leave but in a way it's better, she will get out of the list and it will be one less choice.
