Just don't! Ok, don't!

This is a really sad post written in a sad moment. So if you don’t like sad posts, don’t read this one (because of course you know what you don’t like).

When will we stop making each other miserable? Do we need to get to be old and wise in order to understand that were just being mean to each other. “You’d better not cross that line, or I’ll be annoyed”, “I don’t like that that and that, so you’d better not do that and that. And on a second thought I don’t like that either. So just stop it. God!!! ”. Or “I think that like that is wrong, I have a better way”. Small things that pile up…and we’re just to not working, living together anymore because of small things. Because we fight over small things that we’re so sure that they work in just one way. Our way. Because we like to have control, over our situations, and because we need to have certainties, and to feel good that we did it our way.

What if others don’t like it? Who cares? I am ok, so. That’s enough.

Well it’s not. The worse thing is that I am becoming one of these people that I’m talking about. Or I was from the beginning. At first I thought that it is a very Western thing. After all the people that I met, I discovered that it is happening everywhere, even at home, at school, on the street, even with me and how I act with people. and maybe only the people that had real experiences will understand that fighting over nothing doesn’t bring any good to anybody. And what do I refer to when I say real – extreme situations, either good or bad.

So if I ever did this to you, I am sorry.

Love in time of cholera(the film) is completed!

Yeah - just found out today on www.imdb.com.

Source: http://www.answers.com/topic/love-in-the-time-of-cholera-jpg

A good reason to read the book again before I see the movie. And this time in spanish.
It is after all one of my favorite novels. I can't wait!!!!

funny song on a late night

Slave to the wage - by Placebo

Run away from all your boredom
Run away from all your whoredom and wave
Your worries and cares
Goodbye

All it takes is one decision
A lot of guts, a little vision to wave
Your worries and cares
Goodbye

Its a maze for rats to try
Its a maze for rats to try
Its a race, a race for rats
A race for rats to die

...
Burn away
Run away, run away
Run away, run away
Run away, run away
Run away, run away

I write these lyrics because I tend to run away, run away from my boredom, but also from the storm going on in my head, which is faster and faster and heavier.
a lot of pressure, fear, questions, answers, are they the right ones or the wrong ones, no conclusions, no convictions, just chaos , like a brownian movement.
but even if i am afraid it feels alive...it feels damn alive
and there still is a fear - a fear of not being right,
but, as a dear friend shared with me last night (one of most famous Roosevelt's quotes):

Only Thing We Have to Fear Is Fear Itself

so i begin taking decisions.what decisions? I'll let you know when I know.

Diam's - Ma France à moi

I've come across this song on Margot Wallstrom's blog. It is a video that has apparently a huge success in France, after the election of Sarko, a song about immigrant France, "Ma France a moi" uses harsh words in order to bring to people's ears something that is always avoided discussion. Immigration, integration, discussion. Some of my friends wouldn't agree with the language or with the attitude. The language is necessary for bringing to the public agenda such a hot issue, or to remind people that they can fight for respect. You can see the lyrics here: http://www.lavi2rue.com/lyrics/paroles-diam-s-ma-france-a-moi-5581.html

Peace

"Peace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of creative alternatives for responding to conflict- alternatives to passive or aggressive responses, alternatives to violence."
~ Dorothy Thompson
