The Apprentice and its moral

March 28, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Somehow all of us have read, seen or heard about The Apprentice. For those that arent familiar with it, it could be described as the one hour on tv when a bunch of superstars in business terms try to win the other bunch of super amazing business people. This, of course, is achieved by the Malcolm X attitude “by any means at all”.

So, I question myself and my morals. I did not support the Irak war, I do not approve of the harsh approach, I do not believe in the authoritarian figures, but even so I truly enjoy seeing Sir Alan Sugar being above good and evil. Am I just one of those fake people we can all think of? If i think about it I can come up with at least 10 people with the go-get-it mind set, but I never thought of myself as a hypocrite saying no to it and then promoting it on tv.

Being in my 20s is far more interesting than expected, getting to know myself and how controversial most of the things in life are is teaching me not to judge.

I apologize to you for having judged you, I had no right.

Sorry, I’m from the 80s

Thomas Beatie gives The Advocate a first-person account of how it feels to be pregnant and carrying a child for his wife and himself. ” from http://advocate.com/exclusive_detail.asp?id=52947&page=2

When a man is a man that was a man in the shape of a woman and decided that being a man is no longer what suits him best so he decides using his former female characteristics… then, why in the first place him being a man still keeps his female body and why in the second place would a man want to experience something women can only feel and therefore understand?

 At first I thought I was positive about this, him being able to “provide” for the couple, but then, was it not his nature that told him he was really a man? Is it as unfair as I seem to be seeing it? yeah yeah, ok, it is really good cause his wife could not get pregnant etc but come on, if you are a man you should not be able or even want to experience pregnancy.

I am from the 80s, all these types of news, obviously, overwhelm me. Give me time, cause how is that saying in Spanish “renovarse o morir”.

Racoon, My New Dutch Discovery

Chilled-out music, nice enough guitars and easy going sounding music. Nothing too deep for the moments when easy-feeling is appreciated.

Living Life

you shall above all things be glad and young

you shall above all things be glad and young
For if you’re young,whatever life you wear

it will become you;and if you are glad
whatever’s living will yourself become.
Girlboys may nothing more than boygirls need:
i can entirely her only love

whose any mystery makes every man’s
flesh put space on;and his mind take off time

that you should ever think,may god forbid
and (in his mercy) your true lover spare:
for that way knowledge lies,the foetal grave
called progress,and negation’s dead undoom.

I’d rather learn from one bird how to sing
than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance

do NOT trust any of them

The Aliens
 
  you may not believe it
but there are people
who go through life with
very little
friction or
distress.
they dress well, eat
well, sleep well.
they are contented with
their family
life.
they have moments of
grief
but all in all
they are undisturbed
and often feel
very good.
and when they die
it is an easy
death, usually in their
sleep.

Charles Bukowski

I will never be one of them. There is more to life than all that, and efforts and disstress makes half of my life what it is. Even when, like now, I have no clue of what the future has to offer me, I still think it is something we all need to feel to appreciate stability. Obvious.

Nation and Skepticism

March 12, 2008 · Leave a Comment

” How can you say you life is empty if you have such a spine deep inside of you. I have felt it and you can see it. It is you, it is who you are and where you come from. But it is nothing more than that, a spine. Sometimes so strongly attached to you that you hardly notice, some other times it sticks out and you stare at it thinking what it really means to be the carrier of such thing.

Myself, I still don’t know how to face it, my feelings are mingled with disbelief.

If anyone out there, yeah anyone, can tell me how to survive the need to touch that spine that feels like a twig in the middle of the deserted island of my watery life, please take your blueberry and email me. Don’t look at me like that, I might me confused but I am technologically advanced.”
