"... has invested her religion as well as her morality in sound income-paying securities. She has adopted the unassailable position of a nation blessed because it deserves to be blessed; and her sons, whatever other theologies they may affect or disregard, subscribe unreservedly to this national creed."

navidad, navidad, blanca navidad...

halucinante, pero real!!!
Bueno, first of all: FELIZ NAVIDAD!!!! that everybody understands in any language...
but returning to halucinante:
I had a strange but somehow lovely christmas. First I got invited to some friend's friend's home were I spent a lovely evening... and although I thought nothing would be ok, without my family and loved ones...it worked! I ended up seeing everyone thru skype or chatting with them. But really the most amazing was the picture of my parents, brother, nani, omi, maria,and even pepe (the dog) staring back at me thru the screen!All at once! It was soooooooooooo cool! I even got to see the turkey and open my mega big package in front of them, had toasts and listened to my favourite x-mas tunes... Of course it's not the same as being together, but hey, wowowowowowow wooooow! It was great!

Merry Xmas again everyone! and hope u all had also such a wonderfull present as me =)

cheers

bueno, que decir... no hay mucho. es navidad pronto.
hace rato que no me metia a esto, por ninguna razon en especial... tenia mejores cosas que hacer o/y nada que decir. aun nada q decir, pero al menos asi mando senales de vida a la 'blogósfera': vivo.
ya hicieron recuento de su anio? (si mi tastatur no tiene enie!) el mio fue bueno. aunque extranio a mi familia como cancha. tuve visita super a comienzos y a fines del anio! estuve de viaje, alcancé algunas metas, otras quedan pa el que viene. el corazón dio sus paseos en carrusel, me volvi más vieja y supongo que por algún lado, algo más sabia...hmmm... o probablemente no.
Salud!
pero sobre todo por la esperanza y que el que viene nos traiga mas por qué brindar

Solidão furiosa - wütende Einsamkeit

"Ist es so, dass alles, was wir tun, aus Angst vor Einsamkeit getan wird? Ist es deswegen, dass wir auf all die Dinge verzichten, die wir am Ende des Lebens bereuen werden? Ist das der Grund, weshalb wir so selten sagen, was wir denken? Weshalb sonst halten wir an all diesen zerrütteten Ehen, verlogenen Freundschaften, langweiligen Geburtstagsessen fest? Was geschähe, wenn wir all das aufkündigten, der schleichenden Erpressung ein Ende setzten und zu uns selbst stünden?..."

Not much to comment on lately... jobs aren´t raining from the sky. Following one´s dreams sometimes seems a bit impossible. But it only seems so, I tell myself; who needs any psychologists or Chopra or the Secret, when you can just be your own personal therapist, chearleader, etc..? Have got my own place again, phisically. Had hoped for it to happen by the sea in a warmer country, but one of of three is good i guess, for now.

There´s times when it all seems possible. Keep you striving.

This is my first Post... why this? Cause it's the first thing I got scanned and did some work on for days! My notebook was striking. After some airbrushing the ventilator clean, it seems as if the problem may be solved.


Have been wanting to get this blog thing going for a while now... so better start it with whatever I have than waiting and waiting for the 'right' picture, moment, or whatever else is supposed to be the 'right' something. Maybe I was also just looking for a justification for this blog. But there isn't one, appart from feeling that doing this was going to be a much more honest and 'freeing' way of dealing with things, good or bad, positive or negative, than writing stuff in a diary/sketch book-for my eyes only-kinf of thing. Someone I know has been doing this kind of a thing for a while, and I find it so great that he doens't hide his comments or views of the world, but he just puts them out there and those who care to, can read them and do whatever they want with it.


There is a wise saying that goes along the lines of 'say what you think and how you feel then and there, for those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind'. I shall try to put this into practice more often.


Good night to you! I'm going to sleep... but first I want to see what this is gonna look like when posted, hehe.
