Nada

No cambiaría nada del pasado, no puedo. Vivo el presente, y pongo la base del futuro.

Pablo Cruz 

Soundtrack: mi historia: Papá

Ahora ya camina lento,
como perdonando al viento.
Mi Viejo. Piero.

Soundtrack - Brillar II: Amanece

Nunca nadie me podrá parar
Sólo muerto me podrán callar.

What's a boy supposed to do?
The killer in me is the killer in you.

Me quisiste ver la cara
pero te salió de la chingada.
Ja, Ja, Ja. La Lupita.

Raras veces matan los latidos, 
pero tú callada me has mordido.

I'm taking a chance on the wind
I'm packing all my bags
Taking a mistake I gotta make  
Glory Bound. Martin Sexton

Me obligo a azotarte, tiernamente.
Sin dolor no te haces feliz.
El duelo. La ley.

 Touch me
Take me to that other place 
Beautiful day. U2


It's so hard to keep this smile from my face
Losing control, yeah, I'm all over the place

Stuck in the Middle With You. Steelers Wheels. (from Reservoir Dogs)

*Del Soundtrack "Brillar", y que gracias a Benjamín Prado se resumen en aquella frase de su libro Raro.

Sí

¿La había perdido? En la duda, me precipité a reconquistarla. 
Las Cosmicómicas. by Italo Calvino


Quien pudo ser quiero que seas tú, 
Dímelo, dímelo una vez, 
Fue una burla por favor. 
Tal vez no exista,
Ante la duda, un sí.
Sí. Adrià Puntí (Cantada por Bunbury)

Stigma of Comformity

Follow the path of the unsafe, independent thinker. Expose your ideas to the dangers of controversy. Speak your mind and fear less the label of "crackpot" than the stigma of conformity. And on issues that seem important to you, stand up and be counted at any cost.

Thomas J. Watson

Charlatan's marketing gimmicks

We could have tried marketing gimmicks, bought a Super Bowl ad, or tried flamboyant public relations (PR) as a way of juicing our gross numbers. That would have given investors the illusion of traction, but only for a short time. Eventually, the fundamentals of the business would win out and the PR bump would pass. Because we would have squandered precious resources on theatrics instead of progress, we would have been in real trouble. 
The Lean Startup. Eric Ries

*The case I have seen ended with people without a Job.  The Charlatan and his Angels still defend their work. How can someone defend a Marketing Strategy that does this, Worst, that person is still one year and a half after he got fired he is still with the Linkedin CMO. He is not.

Somos Mortales

Si San Pedro negó a Cristo, qué se puede esperar de estos simples mortales.
Dicho Popular Mexicano

*Este año al tirar el i-Ching me dijo que a mi alrededor, alguien cercano me estaba jodiendo. Lo mismo dijo en esa época el horóscopo con otras palabras. Las energías de mundo se leen por estas cosas. Interesante.

Lengua Rota

Dame tiempo y bésame en la boca,
Déjame la lengua rota,
Cómo pasa el tiempo.
Bésame en la Boca. Lorca.

* Una canción de amor divertida.

No más

Que si tengo, que no voy, que si estoy, que me vengo
Y te dije -No Más-,
Y te cagaste de risa.
Bolero Fallaz. Aterciopelados.

Cura

El tiempo es el doctor de los dolidos (...)
Yo siempre me las curo con tequila.
Elefante. El Abandonao.

*Version Reyli con David Summers.

*Del soundtrack de hoy

Hard to Hide

You know sometimes baby I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
Then sometimes again it seems that all I have is worry
And then you're bound to see my other side

But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

*Cat Stevens Version (Yusuf Islam)
* Santa Esmeralda's Version (Kill Bill)
* Nina Simone Original Version

Show me

I kissed her face and kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make her glow.
Just Like Heaven. The Cure.

* From today's soundtrack with Vincentico's Version

Only

The only way to stop some things is to confront them.

Fellah Majluf

Amigos y Pérfidos Incluidos.

Entonces uno se da cuenta que lo más importante no es lo que ha perdido, sino lo que ha ganado.

Retreat and Burn

Retreat is what was needed. Then, it was like Stalin did, everything was burnt behind. So, the winter won the war and the world got rid of them.
Fellah Majluf.


*It was the same the Vietcong did. They also won the war. 

Lets destroy the place!
Fellah Majluf.

Mr. K Brown

I think I'm parked in the red zone. 
Mr. Brown. Reservoir Dogs. 

*The scene is here

Mezcla

De lo que hace un joven enamorado hasta los tuétanos al saberse traicionado poco podemos enjuiciar, es bien sabido que la pasión calla la razón y que el dolor y el orgullo mezclan rematada y violentamente mal. 
Ray Loriga. El Bebedor de Lágrimas.


¿Nunca has oído decir que los vestidos, como los amantes, eligen a las muchachas?
Ray Loriga. El Bebedor de Lágrimas.

Absurdity

Modern man must descend the spiral of his own absurdity to the lowest point only then can he look beyond it. It is obviously impossible to get around it, jump over it, or simply avoid it. 

Vaclav Havel

From 0 to 1

The beginning is half of every action.

Greek Proverb

Innovation at the Edge

So, you hear the West talk about innovation at the edge. Well, of course it's happening at the edge, because in the middle, everybody's updating Facebook, or worse still, they're trying to understand Facebook's privacy settings. 

Toby Shapshak. You don't need an app for that.

Music, Friends, Soul, Silver and Gold

1.  The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.
2. Don't gain the world and lose your soul, wisdom is better than silver or gold.
3. Your worst enemy could be your best friend, and your best friend your worst enemy.
   
4. Who are you to judge me, And the life I live? I know that I am not perfect, And that I don't claim to be. So before you point your fingers, Make sure hands are clean.
   
5. One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.
6. You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.
   Bob Marley.

 *Some quots from Bob Marley I found in the web

Conditions

I finally allowed myself to accept what was really must important to me, and not what I was conditioned to want, or maybe what I conditioned myself to want.

Sadness of the Inner Self

The eyes show the essence of our souls. They have the history of life, the inner self. Those sad eyes are talking out load.

The Right One

Google can bring you back 100,000 answers, a librarian can bring to you back the right one.
Neil Gaiman.

*From a Facebook post.
** I dedicate this to my mother that was a Librarian, and to my both parents to make me love the books.

Ay, mi amor

Ay, mi amor,
sin ti no entiendo el despertar.
Ay, mi amor,
sin ti mi cama es ancha.
Ay, mi amor
que me desvela la verdad.
Joan Manuel Serrat. Romance de Curro el Palmo.


Pero realmennte viene por la canción de Sergio Arau y los Mismísimos Ángeles: La invasión.


Todo se detuvo, la invasión estaba hecha
tu ausencia había llenado nuetra casa
giré la silla, lo hice lentamente
y me sente de espaldas a la puerta
Sergio Arau. La Invasión.

Solving Problems

I am Mr. Wolf and I solve problems.
Harvey Keitel as Winston Wolfe or simply "The Wolf" in Pulp Fiction.

*It reminded me a song: What's the Time Mr. Wolf from the movie Once Were Warriors.

Veloces sombras

Vestidas con trajes finos,
Vestidas con cualquier quimera,
Ratas por todas partes (...)
Queriendo quitarte algo
Contándote cosas ficticias (...)

Veloces sombras
se escurren silenciosas
Veloces sombras
se adueñas de las calles
y las cloacas de la gran ciudad
Rodrigo González (Rockdrigo). Ratas.

No serás capaz

No serás capaz de odiarme
si lo he empeorado aún más?
que bajen tus labios y me callen
si no empezaremos a silbar.

Por si alguién aún duerme, incendios de nieve y calor.
A veces te pasas, incendios de nieve y calor.

Y al parecernos sienta bien pelear.
Justo al contrario, fortalece más.
Supera esto, no serás capaz.
Incendios de Nieve. Love of Lesbian.


*Del soundtrack de hoy con los lesbianos

Respeto: Bombas y Caricias

Piense usted por qué el Estado o la vida en general habrían de respetar a quien empezó por no respetarse a sí mismo.
Galio, en La Guerra de Galio, Héctor Aguilar Camín.

 El bien es mayoría, pero no se nota porque es silencioso: una bomba hace más ruido que una caricia, pero por cada bomba que destruye, hay millones de caricias que construyen la vida.
 Facundo Cabral

*Enviadas por Morras como parte de la respuesta a mi carta del Día de la Mujer.

Malas Noticias

No conozco a nadie que miente como tú,
Con tanta disciplina, precisión y sinceridad,
Te ganaste tu lugar con ingeniosa ingenuidad
Aún no entiendo cómo eres capaz de sentirte peligrosa...
Siendo tan vulgar. 
Bunbury y Vegas. Puta Malagradecida.

Unusual

Live the full life of the mind, exhilarated by new ideas, intoxicated by the romance of the unusual.
