<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#800000;">Okas! regresé y ahm solo para dejar este pequeño drabble, que pense había perdido... pero como no, ps aqui esta... segun esta narrado por Sasuke, asi que pues... es un SasuSaku un tanto exagerado, cursi y ahm es un universo alterno.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#800000;">Espero les guste ^^.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>xxxxxxxxxx</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong><em><span style="text-decoration:underline;">"</span></em><span style="text-decoration:underline;">SaKuRa....... CuAnDo La VoLvI A VeR."</span></strong> by <strong><span style="color:#800000;"><em>Emuffin</em></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;">Haruno  Sakura; es el nombre de la niña que conocí en el parque; hmp creo que tiene mi  edad, 5 años y debo decir que es muy linda ¬///¬ pero es secreto no se lo digan  a nadie; </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;">Sakura  eres una gran amiga, siempre estas con nosotros aun cuando te metemos en  problemas con tu mamá muestras una gran sonrisa; siempre al final del día  terminas con el cabello despeinado, llena de lodo y a veces con raspones y  moretones; tu mamá y algunos de mis amigos dicen que no deberíamos de jugar  juntos porque eres una niña, aunque mis amigos también creen que eres “extraña”  porque, según ellos, te comportas demasiado como niño y eso no es normal, hmp  ellos no te conocen como yo aunque una duda me invade…………¬¬ ¿usas  faldas?.</p>
<p></span>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;">Hmp,  los años no pasan en vano mírate nada mas, tienes 12 años, y si hace 8 eras  linda hoy estas preciosa, hmp ¬///¬ esa es otra cosa que no me atrevo a  confesar, ahora mis amigos cambiaron su opinión sobre ti pero no es para bien,  según mi punto de vista; ahora dicen que eres demasiado linda y que no es normal  que tengas amigos sin tener otro interés alterno; otra vez yo no les creo ni le  hago caso ¬///¬ son unos tontos, me han llegado a decir que eres mi novia, que  tontería ¿verdad? &#62;///&#60; ; bueno este día tiene una mala noticia, mis  padres han decidido que debemos dejar un tiempo la aldea la razón realmente no  la se; trate de convencerles de que estaría mejor aquí aun sin ellos porque  estarían mis amigos; (“porque estarías tu”); pero no hubo caso; hay algo que  debo decirte 0/////0 pero no me atrevo me da mucha vergüenza, bueno bueno te lo  diré en otra ocasión, te aseguro que la próxima vez que nos veamos seré capaz de  decirte solo espérame ^/////^. Eh, porque lloras no te entiendo, ¿acaso dije  algo malo?; ah con que es eso, yo también te extrañare, pero ya tranquila  regresare… lo juro, esta es una promesa entre tu y yo.</p>
<p></span>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;">Ahhhh,  pasa el tiempo demasiado rápido espero que no me hallas olvidado Sakura, Ah,  Sakura demonios me siento nervioso tan solo de pensar en ella ¬/////¬, espero no  sea tan evidente, hmp, aun no puedo dejar de pensarte esa sonrisa tan linda,  hace mucho no la veía en fin, ya son 4 años, ¿Cómo estará?; hmp ^///^ es algo  gracioso pero aun no entiendo porque siempre que estabas conmigo te ponías roja  como un tomate, aunque espera ¬///¬ yo también me ponía asi; ^///^ es extraño  que yo recuerde este tipo de detalles pero aun no comprendo porque siempre te  vestías de rojo con verde, ese es un misterio,^///^ desde que te  conocí.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;">Extendí mis pensamientos en cosas sin relevancia ¬¬, que tonto soy, bueno  iré esta tarde a su casa para ver como esta.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;">Que  puedo decir acabo de regresar de su casa y lo que vi. No me gusto pero para  nada, ¿que fue lo que sucedió aquí?, Cuando la volví a ver solo me  pregunte:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;">en  donde están esos vestidos rojos, esos lindisimos ojos jade que brillaban cuando  me veían, ese cabello largo, sedoso y brillante de color rosa, era un tanto  extravagante pero, todo esto junto la hacia lucir muy hermosa, ¬//¬ esperen un  momento, ¿dije hermosa?, mejor no me contesten, el caso es que ahora es  diferente, se veía preciosa y ahora, nooo ¿Qué es lo que me encuentro?,  pantalones entubados, recalco entubados, camisas negras, y ojos de mapache, si  así como los de Gaara, pero eso no es lo peor, ahora solo puedo ver y a duras  penas la mitad de su cara porque aparte de que su cabello esta cortisimo, un  enorme mechón de cabello le tapa la cara ò-ó eso no me gusta pero para  nada,ademas se nota muy triste, hablare con ella.¬¬ creo que me sulfure un poco  ¬¬U pero necesito que recupere su sonrisa, bueno eso ya no importa se lo haré  saber, solo espero que siga mi consejo.</p>
<p></span>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;">Hoy es  un día nuevo es temprano aun, por lo visto, ya que aun no huele a comida, hmp  que bella vista, se preguntaran ¿Qué estas viendo Sasuke-kun?, pues de hecho a  una bella mujer de 22 años ^///^ mi esposa, la señora Uchiha, esta de espaldas  pero se que sigue dormida. Es tan hermosa, no se que hubiera sucedido si ese día  no hubiera hablado con ella, tal vez en este momento no estaríamos juntos, bueno  esos son detalles sin importancia, aunque se preguntaran muchas cosas, les  responderé las que se me ocurren, llevamos 1 año de casados, cuando esto sucedió  llevábamos 5 de novios, ahora ella tiene 4 meses de embarazo, ¬///¬ no pregunten  como paso eso porque no les incumbe. Ahh, Sakura, espero te levantes pronto, ¬¬  ya tengo hambre.</p>
<p></span>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;">Hoy,  es nuestro aniversario, hmp se que suena raro pero es la verdad; a mis 32 años  siento que nos amamos mas que nunca, mas que siempre; aun recuerdo cuando  recupero su sonrisa y ahora los 5 sonreímos juntos; nuestros hijos son su  adoración, yo también los quiero ¬¬ no crean que no, pero mira que ella tiene  una paciencia muy grande 1 niña de 10 años y dos pequeños gemelos de 7, estos  son muy difíciles de controlar ¬¬ hmp, cuando nuestros ojos se encuentran, puedo  ver muchas cosas, felicidad, amor, jubilo, ella esta cada vez mas hermosa, su  cabello otra vez largo, sus ojos parecen todavía mas verdes, es bellísima y  aparte de todo tiene un cuerpo de envidia hasta para las chicas veinte añeras.  Nunca fui tan feliz como ahora a su lado, ¬¬ Uchiha Sakura, jamás pensé que se  escucharía tan bien. ¬//¬ se que es tonto pero no puedo evitar mencionar que por  fin dejo el verde y el rojo ^////^.</p>
<p></span>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;">Este  mañana es triste, el día esta nublado, y la hermosísima mujer que dormía a mi  lado ya no esta con nosotros, la extraño, me da una nostalgia muy grande  recordarla, que ya no este aquí entre mis brazos, aunque saber que envejecimos  juntos y que fue solo para mi me reconforta en sobremanera, ella siempre tan  sincera, tan hermosa y que a pesar de lo años seguía siendo muy sensual, que  soporto todo lo que vivimos juntos hasta el limite; ella. Hmm, todos estamos  reunidos frente a su cama, nuestra cama, mis hijos me dan todo el apoyo que  pueden, el tiempo paso demasiado rápido, están casados tienen nietos y ellos  están próximos a tener hijos, quien lo diría, llegar a conocer a la 5ª  generación Uchiha ¬¬ claro desde mis padres, la esposa de uno de mis bisnietos  mas grandes esta embarazada según se, de gemelos; quiero conocer a mis  tataranietos, pero necesito reunirme con ella, la amo demasiado, jamás creí que  nuestro matrimonio duraría tanto, 67 años para ser exactos, a mis 89 años puedo  estar mas seguro que nunca, MI Sakura murió feliz y satisfecha con esta vida,  eso esta demostrado pues en su cara se puede admirar una hermosa y sincera  sonrisa; la extrañare demasiado, algún día nos reuniremos en el mas allá,  mientras tanto espérame Sakura.<br />
</span>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:left;margin:0;"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="color:#000000;"> Uchiha  Sakura, no, Haruno Sakura, es decir MI Sakura, Te Amo</span>.♥</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:left;margin:0;">
<p style="text-align:center;margin:0;"><strong>xxxxxxxxxx</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;margin:0;">
<p style="text-align:center;margin:0;"><span style="color:#800000;">Bueh... espero les haya gustado, hehe agradecere que dejen su opinion al respecto de este drabble... que sigo sin saber si hay alguna diferencia entre one-shot y drabble ¬¬</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;margin:0;"><span style="color:#800000;">Una narracion bastante diferente a la actual, ya que fue uno de los primeros textos que publiqué/escribí, entonces mi redaccion era un poco mas chafita que ahora... se nota un poco mas porque incluí emoticones... eeeen fin</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;margin:0;"><span style="color:#800000;"><br />
</span>
</p>
<p style="text-align:center;margin:0;"><span style="color:#800000;">Saludos a todos ^^</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I went to my first UA Football game today! It was really awesome!  We were playing Washington.  I only stayed for the first half, but we were up 37 to 7 so I'm not to worried about missing anything.  Anyway, even though the game was really awesome, something even more awesome happened too!</p>
<p>I was standing up cheering and then I heard the steady chant of "Hassel-hoff! Hassel-hoff!" over and over.  I looked down and saw David Hasselhoff and his daughter standing just about 6 rows below me!  It was really cool.  He was invited down onto the sidelines of the field and videotaped us all in the stands and shook hands and hugged anyone who came to see him.  It was pretty cool.</p>
<p>Well, there is another example of why the University of Arizona is so wicked awesome. We win football games, unlike ASU who lost to California today, and we have David Hasselhoff to cheer on our team! :D</p>

<p>Manabu, I love you. Just when I was feeling creatively uninspired, my good friend in Tokyo introduced me to some of his favourite artists. It took me all of 1.5 seconds to fall in love with <a href="http://www.saekotakagi.com/" target="_blank">Saeko Takagi's</a> work, which is mostly acrylic on canvas with a few other media chucked in for good measure. Manabu first came across Takagi because she co-created the imagery for the song <a href="http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=fIdQlquAV0k" target="_blank">Lightning</a> by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UA_(singer)" target="_blank">UA</a>, a strange and fascinating Japanese singer I first encountered by watching children's television in Tokyo. Not only did interesting musicians appear on Japanese kids' TV but the Japanese was easy. It certainly beat watching the news, which generally consisted of 20 minutes covering tedious domestic political scandals, 10 minutes covering scary sex crimes, complete with requisite grainy footage, and then 10 minutes of advertorial under the guise of 'educating' people on new products in the market. Riiiight.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Pink i questi giorni &#8220;pare na zingara. Compare e scompare. Mo lo vedi e mo non lo vedi più]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">Pink i questi giorni "pare na zingara. Compare e scompare. Mo lo vedi e mo non lo vedi più". In questo modo è descritto uno dei personaggi de "Le fate ignoranti". E mi sa che ora quella <em>zingara</em> si è impossessata di me. Il mio calo umorale lentamente si attenua e finalmente ritorno a sorridere spensierato quando passeggio per strada. Sto cercando di ritrovare la mia <em>connection</em> con Roma. La Roma non turistica abitata dalle fate, e le ali, che tanto mi piacciono, stanno per spuntare nuovamente. Ma come trovare la connessione con la città in un momento di intenso studio e stapazzamento? Facile. Si studia un pò in ogni luogo. L'ultima volta <a href="http://pinkandthecity.wordpress.com/2008/09/24/termini/">il mio libro ha visitato l'amata stazione Termini</a>, ma negli ultimi due giorni ha girovagato ancora un bel pò.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://pinkandthecity.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/foto051.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-762" title="foto052" src="http://pinkandthecity.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/foto052.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="230" height="172" /><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-761" title="foto051" src="http://pinkandthecity.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/foto051.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="230" height="173" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Ieri dovevo vedere A per una giornata studio (e chiacchiere, e gossip e confessioni). Ho deciso di andare a studiare per la prima volta in vita mia all'università. Arrivati, tutte le aule erano occupate per gli esami così, desolati, abbiam dovuto cercare una soluzione alternativa. BLING, subito mi è venuta in mente. Il tetto! Cosa si più romantico ed utile per la <em>connection</em> di un tetto romano con vista sulla città? Furtivamente siam saliti fin su al palazzo prendendo ascensore, scale e scale esterne e quando siamo arrivati su è stata una pace. Peccato per il pavimento scomodo e l'umido. Dopo una sola ora siamo andati via. O il romanticismo o i reumatismi.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://pinkandthecity.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/foto053.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-763 aligncenter" title="foto053" src="http://pinkandthecity.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/foto053.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="230" height="172" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Dovendo quindi cercare obbligatoriamente un'aula abbiamo girovagato per tutti i piani, scoprendo corridoi che neanche le donne delle pulizie conoscono. Infine siamo entrati nell'aula studio storica, dove io ed A ci siamo conosciuti e lì ci siamo acquietati fino all'arrivo di una mia amica (nella foto ,in giallo) che, distrutta dallo stress, ha cominciato a chiacchierare. E' sempre bello un beak extra! Verso le 19:30 stremato (ma che finto!) per la giornata torno a casa puntuale per la Carrà!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://pinkandthecity.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/foto054.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-758 aligncenter" title="foto054" src="http://pinkandthecity.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/foto054.jpg?w=225" alt="" width="176" height="234" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Oggi invece giornata meno zingaresca, ma ugualmente interessante. Se il mattino ha l'oro in bocca, nella mia, questa mattina, c'è entrato un forziere di dobloni intero. Sono uscito verso le 10:00 per una giornata studio alla Biblioteca Nazionale a Castro Pretorio. Entro nell'autobus e chi ti vedo. Un ragazzo bono, abbronzato, con un sorriso da urlo, spalle larghe, maniglie dell'amore e simpatico. Mi sarei buttato al suo collo come un vampiro famelico... ma, il baldo giovane è un prete. Ebbene si, il prete più bono che io abbia mai incontrato. Mi sono sentito come  Meggie Cleary di <em>Uccelli di Rovo</em>, tutto innamorato di Padre Ralph. Solo che al contrario del racconto originale, padre Ralph non mi ha rincorso fuori dall'autobus per fare sesso e crescere il bimbo nato dal folle amore.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://pinkandthecity.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/foto045.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-759" title="foto045" src="http://pinkandthecity.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/foto045.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="230" height="186" /></a><a href="http://pinkandthecity.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/foto048.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-760" title="foto048" src="http://pinkandthecity.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/foto048.jpg?w=225" alt="" width="139" height="185" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Perciò, ancora sconvolto dalla visione mistica mi sono rifugiato in biblioteca, dove speravo di vedere attutiti i miei ormoni alla vista delle bibliotecarie orride ed invece no. Sembrava avessero scaricato <em>un camion carico carico diiii</em>... uomini! Il primo si è posizionato per metà giornata di fronte a me. Il secondo (partecipante ad un'edizione vecchia di Amici, se non sbaglio) di fianco. Dover resistere a tutte le tentazioni è stato difficile. Ho mangiato un pacco intero di gomme!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Ora, dopo due giorni da nomade sono a casa pronto per una terza giornata all'insegna dei tetti, degli uomini e di qualunque altra cosa vorrà regalarmi la mia Roma. Sono quasi tornato.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First off, I know its been a while, suffice it to say my professional job, the one that pays the bills, has been hectic as of late.  I'll try to make up for it in the next couple days.</p>
<p>There have been a couple of interesting developments as of late that are worth noting.  We all have been hearing about the cheapening of the airlines in regards to fees.  Some notables are American being the first to charge for a first checked bag, US Airways charging for all onboard items including water and soda, and Spirit Airlines adopting advertising on tray tables and overhead bins to enhance their customer's onboard experience.</p>
<p>Where does it end?  I have been hearing a lot of jokes about charging for air, to use the lavatory, or even for the paper bags meant for motion sickness.  There have been a couple or articles that have surfaced that suggest that maybe we have reached the peak of these charges.  Let's dive right in.</p>
<p>The associated press is reporting that American Airlines has just launched a campaign to win customer loyalty.  I don't think American would openly admit this is a campaign to win customers back, but rather to anchor customers from other airlines who are dissatisfied, but DOT data for customer complaints ranks American Airlines 3rd from the last out of U.S. Airlines.  What is in this new program to cement customers to American?  Well it really is about their bread and butter - Business customers.  If you are a first or business class customer, or flying on a full fare coach ticket, you will get some added perks.  For instance, at all of their airports, you will be given priority access to an agent when checking in, or or checking a bag.  At select airports, you will be able to have a priority security line to get you through faster, and at the gate, they have a new program they call PriorityAAccess, which will allow you to bard the plane first.</p>
<p>While these are all great ideas, and a much needed sign that airlines are finally signaling they understand how frustrated travelers are - I still have some major concerns with this program.  Chiefly - they aren't doing anything new!  Next time you go to the airport, look and you will see most every airline has a priority section for customers who travel first class.  All they are doing is expanding that program.  Alaska, for example, already does this, allowing their Gold/MVP passengers to use the first class check in.  The same can be said for their program for priority security lines and priority boarding.  I am most familiar with Alaska Airlines, since they are the largest carrier in the Seattle area, but they do board their Gold/MVP customers first, and also TSA allows them through the priority security screening.</p>
<p>I recognize that frequent fliers are the most profitable for the airlines, but perhaps one of the reasons why so many customers are not loyal to a particular airlines is because they aren't given a chance.  With so many price conscious customers, airlines assume that the only driving factor in the choice to fly a particular airline.  I couldn't disagree more with that assumption.  I for instance am willing to pay a small premium to fly on an airline that offers assigned seats (sorry Southwest), while I know of others who like United because of their Channel 9 service, which allows one to listening to the conversation of the aircraft cockpit and the air traffic controllers.  If an airline were to charge a small amount, would you be willing to fly an airline that suited your interests?  I am willing to bet most of you would.  Why then do the airlines insist of making them so generic for discounted fliers that they can no longer create a unique, positive experience for this class of service?</p>

<title><![CDATA[Demographic Ho-Hum ]]></title>

<description><![CDATA[The latest story from UANews is chock-full of demographic details about the UA and the class of 2012]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The latest <a href="http://uanews.org/node/21634">story</a> from UANews is chock-full of demographic details about the UA and the class of 2012, including the headlining fact that enrollment has topped 38,000.</p>
<p>However, more is not always better. Arbitrarily, I'd say that 40,000 is a good number to set an absolute bar at -- given current trends, it'll probably end up being around half of ASU's enrollment. Again, going back to the "<a href="http://desertlamp.wordpress.com/2008/09/04/the-arizona-student-and-the-three-universities/">three schools</a>" set-up, you don't want UA to get so big that it essentially becomes ASU-lite; now would be a good time to start upping standards, especially for out-of-state students.</p>
<p>In spite of the talk of "new and exciting" changes, what is slightly troubling is how similar the freshman class is to its predecessors. The '12 class has an average GPA of 3.4 -- while this is a miniscule improvement from the '11 class, it is the exact same as the GPAs from the classes of '07 and '08. Same with SAT scores; in fact, the current freshman SAT scores are slightly lower than the '07-'08 classes. National Merit Scholar numbers decreased by four. Essentially, we're treading water, when we should be, to borrow from Curtis Mayfield, moving on up.</p>
<p>Finally, reporting from the ivory tower, the most popular majors of the freshmen are somewhat disturbing:</p>
<blockquote><p>The most popular majors for freshmen are pre-business (20.6 percent) and pre-physiology (5.3 percent), followed by psychology (4.7 percent), pre-nursing (4 percent) and pre-pharmacy (3.7 percent).</p></blockquote>
<p>This clearly indicates that Eller is the main attraction at the school, and justifiably so. However, this also means that, even leaving psychology aside, a full 33.6 percent of students are here <em>strictly for professional training</em>. If the liberal arts and the well-rounded education aren't already dead, then they are swiftly moving towards the grave.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Si os tuviera ahora mismo delante os comería a besos a todos jajaja, así sin medias tintas, citas ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><span style="color:#0000ff;">Si os tuviera ahora mismo delante os comería a besos a todos jajaja, así sin medias tintas, citas previas o mariconadas similares.</span></h3>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">Me siento feliz, muy feliz, pletórico, bueno sí, sigo teníendo preocupaciones como todo hijo de vecino, pero una persona positiva se caracteriza por quedarse con lo bueno y transformar lo negativo. Pues bien, hoy, antes de dar uso a esa "pletoricidad" quiero dejar constancia de algo que me gustaría compartir, eso sí, desde el corazón, sin pretensión de reproches ni nada similar.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">Estos días ha habido un pequeño e instantáneo contacto con mi vida gallega y me ha hecho reflexionar un poco. Observando los orígenes de este blog (que, a pesar de su corta vida, ha experimentado ya de todo) he recordado el motivo principal que me llevó a crearlo: mis amigos de Galicia. Este se suponía que sería el medio por el cual, de un modo más o menos divertido, pretendía poner al día a mi gente, para reducir los muros de la distancia y sentirnos próximos en la lejanía. Está claro que una vez más, mis esfuerzos por evitar la "erosión" de estas amistades ha servido de más bien poco, pues una relación no se conserva si las dos partes no quieren. Está claro que esta es una opinión subjetiva, en este momento no pretendo hacer una valoración foránea, sino contar lo que considero una realidad. La expresión "hace más el que quiere que el que puede" cobra especial significancia en estos últimos tiempos, donde amistades lejanas como Josma desde Barcelona, o Perti desde Madrid demuestran que la distancia no es relevante cuando hay sentimientos de por medio. Esto viene a esas respuestas que he recibido por parte de alguna de estas amistades donde se excusan diciendo por ejemplo "estoy muy ocupado" "yo no soy de llamar" "siempre estoy para hacerlo pero...". Lo curioso es que después se digan cosas como "espero que sepas que a pesar de no hablar, siempre estoy ahí" ¿perdona? ¿siempre estás ahí? Déjame que lo dude, pues es imposible estar ahí si no muestras el mínimo de interés por saber cómo estoy. No pretendo llevar a confusiones, no estoy enfadado con nadie, quizá dolido, sí eso sí, porque no creo que nadie pueda reprocharme el no haberme esforzado, y ver que esos esfuerzos son ignorados, duele. Y lo que más duele es el saber que seguramente ninguna de esas amistades leera esto, pues a pesar de ser el motivo principal por el que exite este blog, jamás he recibido el menor indicio de que alguno de ellos hubiera leído un solo parrafo de todas estas historias que he ido dejando en los casi cinco meses que llevo aquí. Lo sé, ya sé lo que estás pensando Javi, lo hemos hablado ya, y sí, tienes razón, pero tú mismo sufres de algun modo lo mismo, ciertas personas que te han prometido amistad eterna y ahora han desparecido.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">Ahora viene la otra cara de la moneda, y en la que realmente me interesa centrarme. Primero, antes de que se me olvide, muchas gracias por tu comentario Olga, ya tengo ganas de conocerte en persona. En cuanto Caye y yo nos pongamos de acuerdo nos vamos un finde a Madrid y así también miro a mi chico de Jaén favorito. La semana pasada comencé la universidad y ese motivo es, en parte, el culpable del título de esta entrada "Retorno a lo que una vez fui", y es que, en cierto modo estoy retomando mis orígenes y eso me hace muy feliz. Vuelvo a sentirme con esas desmesuradas ganas de vivir, quiero saltar, hacer el payaso, reír, correr, nadar, gritar, empaparme de sabiduría, dar vueltas bajo la lluvia, quiero poder disfrutar mis inquietudes, hacer deporte, cuidarme, trabajar, realizar, rodar, incluso pintar, que es algo que hace ya casi dos años que no hago. Hay mil cosas que, por desgracia, ahora mismo no puedo permitirme hacer, como el curso de periódismo de investigación, pero hay otras tantas que sí haré. Adoro mi carrera, las asignaturas, algunos de los profesores ejem ejem jaja, y bueno qué decir de mis nuevos compañeros... me siento muy ilusionado con este nuevo grupo del que formo parte, sobre todo he de destacar a Jaime, que me parece un tío cojonudo y a quien tengo muchas ganas de ir conociendo. Me gusta poder cuestinarme otra vez el mundo que me rodea, conocer opiniones de otras personas y enriquecerme de ellas; dios, es que me encanta aprender, coño!!! jaja. Necesitaba tanto volver a meterme en esto, me siento como cuando volví a hacer teatro después de casi tres años. Y lo que más me satisface de todo esto, es poder compartirlo con Caye (que me ayuda un montón a entender otras perspectivas de la vida) con Rafa (al que creo que admiro, quiero y respeto más, cuanto más le conozco) Luís (que sí tonto, que también eres importante. Que me da igual los giros de 180º que le des a tu personalidad, siempre serás especial para mí). Ademas me hace ilusión recordar que ya queda nada para que vuelva Salva de Londres, que le hecho muchísimo de menos. Y bueno, que tengo por ahí propuestas interesantes de temas de rodaje y tal, que quién sabe, a lo mejor surge una nueva unión profesional de cierta amistad que voy haciendo x ahí jaja. En resumen, que aquel chico saltarín que canturreaba por todas partes, ese consejero que escuchaba los problemas de los demás, ese que disfrutaba de las pequeñas cosas y relativizaba todo, simplificando los problemas y ayudando en lo posible, ha vuelto, joder que ganas tenía de poder decir esto jajaja. Quizá ciertas cosas dentro de mí siempre seguirán estando ahí, porque hay sentimientos muy especiales que no mueren, se trasforman, pero aprendo a vivir con ello, y disfrutar su parte buena. También he evolucionado en algunos aspectos de mí mismo, la experiencia es un grado y soy consciente de que me queda mucho en lo que mejorar pero ayer aprendí que el fin, el motivo, el porqué de mi existencia es tan simple como mi día a día, mi aprendizaje continuo, las pequeñas cosas que me van ocurriendo y me rodean, ¿y acaso eso no es precioso? Me satisface estar escribíendo todo esto, ya no solo por transmitiros mi sentir, sino porque a pesar de todo soy consciente de que vendrán nuevos malos momentos y me vendrá bien releerlo en el furuto jaja. Que por cierto, ahora que lo releo me ha quedado algo sectista esta entrada ¿no? hasta me está empezando a asomar un poco de sentido de la vergüenza... pero sabes lo bueno? soy estudiante de publi y rrpp, NO NECESITO LA VERGÜENZA PARA NADA!!! jaja.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">Y bueno, que no me explayo más. Que sigo intentando colgar en youtube los vÍdeos que tengo nuevos pero naaada, me lo ponen difícil, pero persistiré, que a cabezota no me gana nadie y eso sí que no lo he cambiado jaja. Os dejo unas fotos </span><span style="color:#0000ff;">de la UA y </span><span style="color:#0000ff;">de la comida del Sábado con mis compis de clase: Julia, Mariám, Laura, Isra y Jaime. Un besazo para todos y hasta más ver.</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have to post about my latest podcast, because it unites fantastic artists singing in some of my favourite languages. I deliberately avoided English, though there is one track on there, from a Norwegian band called <strong>The Cut</strong>... I had to do it. It's a great track and it half-fit the theme. <strong>EllaGuru</strong> also have a track in English on there, but you can barely make out the lyrics which is a good sign.</p>
<p>It's a bit of an experiment. I want to see how much "language barrier" can affect the attention span/degree of pleasure you get from music.</p>
[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="269" caption="Source: BLU &#62; 25 Disegni"]<a href="http://www.blublu.org/sito/drawings/01/12.htm"><img src="http://www.blublu.org/sito/drawings/01/23.jpg" alt="BLU  25 Disegni" width="269" height="376" /></a>[/caption]
<p>Japanese is a versatile language for song - it can go horribly wrong or near-perfect. It must be all those open sounds. See <strong>Yura-Yura Teikoku, UA, Lullatone, Cappablack</strong> and my boy <strong>Shing02</strong> for the details.</p>
<p>Norwegian I have just realised, is also a pleasing medium for music. It's one of the few tonal European languages - the inflections do sound like Chinese sometimes. The artists I have here are all from a compilation a friend gave me (Takk for det, Nils!). Thus was I exposed to a pleasant peacock of diverse musical feathering. The songs, bar one, are by no means new, and if you try and google the artists you get close to nothing. Ranging from <strong>EllaGuru</strong>'s perky anthem, <strong><em>perketiperk</em></strong> (that was just too too easy) to <strong>Alle Tiders Duster</strong>'s haunting, chant-like <strong><em>Lillegutt</em></strong>, you'll tell immediately this one largely under-represented people with a weird, spastic, poptastic, rock-tinged taste in things musical. But it works.</p>
<p>Brasil always makes some sort of appearance in my podcasts, and this time it's a classic.</p>
<p>I hope whoever listens enjoys and gets inspired to rip up the English bubble. Knowing other cultures only puts yours in perspective. So yes, listen up, down and all around.</p>

Banana, the Vice-God canadidate of the Jebus-Banana Ticket,]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>9/20/2008 Associated Press - The Vatican</p>
<p>Banana, the Vice-God canadidate of the Jebus-Banana Ticket, claims to be the best qualified for the post because he is the agent of change. "I have never been worshipped by anyone... except homosexuals'. This will allow me to lead a whole new way of worship" Banana reportedly told a group of supportive members of the electorial College of Deities. "For too long we have been doing things the old fashioned way, the wine cum grape juice, the crackers that does nothing after a long sermon about food, the whipping... actually, that one I will keep". The Jebus - Banana ticket is the first mainstream Great God election ticket that features a fruit, and is seen by many to be an agent for change. </p>
<blockquote><p>"I Have Never Been Worshipped by Anyone... except homosexuals" -Banana, Vice-God Candidate</p></blockquote>
<p>"He is not all flash" said Zeus, a former Great God who has not expressed his support for either side, "Not all about the lighting bolts, or the parting of the Seas or the rising people from the dead. He has real experience providing people with that they need, namely potassium" The Holy Spirit, the former #3 on the Jesus-God ticker removed because the holy rules state that only two candidates can be on a ticket andnow the spokesbeing for the Jesus-God (JESDO) ticket, said "his potassium benefits are overstated, he was first against potassium before he was for it. All bananas are good for is to practice again gag reflexes... um... you know just in case you have to go to the doctors and get your adam's apple check.. ahem". </p>
<p>On related news, the Association of Apes and Salient beings (ASS) is set to announce their endorsement sometime in the near future. "Its an important endorcement announcement" said Habib Yesmin, former president of ASS and current resident of Queenstown, "we realize that the Monkey lobby is strongly in favour to the Jebus-Banana ticket, but you know JESDO sorta created us, it will be a difficult decision". The consortium of Holy Newcasters will announce tomorrow when the Great God Debates will be held, fringe candidate Dirty Bean has demanded that she be included in the debates, the Consortium is also expected to rule on that tomorrow.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just got back from standing in the doorway of a presentation on the Large Hadron Collider, or LHC, that I will remember for the rest of my life. Yeah, it was that good.</p>
<p>The LHC is the biggest particle accelerator in the world. My University, my DEPARTMENT worked on it! I get to work on cool stuff like this someday! :D I can't wait!</p>
<p>Dr. Cheu, from the University of Arizona, gave the presentation on the LHC, and highlighted the ATLAS piece of the LHC which is the piece that the University of Arizona actually built and designed. He gave a whole lot of information about the project, but he did it in plain-man's terms, which is usually pretty hard for a man of his intelligence.</p>
<p>Because I know I can't sum up what the LHC is, <a title="Large Hadron Collider" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_Hadron_Collider">here</a> is a link to the wikipedia article on it, and below are some pictures.</p>

<p>What drew me to this book is that it initially seemed like an American version of Neil Gaiman's <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Neverwhere-Novel-Neil-Gaiman/dp/0060557818/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&#38;s=books&#38;qid=1220497737&#38;sr=8-1">Neverwhere</a>. A rather sarcastic detective is drawn into a Manhattan underground by an elf with a missing unicorn. That is where the similarities ended.</p>
<p>In this underground Manhattan that you see from the corner of your eye, John Justin Mallory is in a world that looks like his real Manhattan, but with a few changes. The elf's Manhattan <span style="color:#0000ff;">"had come fully to life. It was still cold and raining, but the street was bustling with elves, gnomes, goblins, trolls, and even less human passersby, as well as an assortment of men and women. Sturdy multihued elephants and draft horses pulled an endless stream of carts and carriages, while odd little street vendors who were neither men nor elves were hawking everything from toys to mystical gemstones" (p48). </span> Taxis are elephants roaming the streets. There are cat people, capes that are able to adapt to every know weather condition just with a click of the belt buckle. In this fantasy Manhattan, John Justin comes across The Grundy, an evil and powerful warlord who is also after the missing unicorn, along with various other characters such as subway gnomes, leprechauns, and shrinking ponies. The chapters are broken up into 20 minute time segments, and the entire story takes place between 8:35pm and Dawn the next day.</p>
<p>My review of this book is pretty mixed. I did enjoy some of the comedy and the witty rapport between the characters. John Justin Mallory is an incredibly likable character and a guy you want to have on your side. The rest of the characters are flat and predictable. The Grundy is not as threatening or scary as he is made out to be. There is no real creativity with the imaginary Manhattan and the plot dragged on for a few chapters longer than necessary. There were also a few characters what provided no plot development or improvement. I may just be out of practice with reading Sci-Fi/Fantasy books. Most of what I've read is Neil Gaiman, Lois McMasters Bujold and George R.R. Martin. I had high hopes for Mike Resnick since he has been awarded 5 Hugo awards and 1 Nebula award, among a large list of other awards and honors for his work since 1989.</p>
<p>I have the sequal, Stalking the Vampire currently checked out, and I'm hoping that will be an improvement over Stalking the Unicorn. Otherwise, I'll have to specifically look for one of his award winners. I never feel comfortably brushing off any author with so many awards and honors under their belt, until I've read a couple different books of theirs.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Entre uma série de poucas coisas que costumo detestar, está a futilidade. Por favor, converse sobre qualquer coisa, pode ser até alguma superficialidade vez ou outra, mas o tempo inteiro não! Não ligo pra roupa, não ligo pra sapato, não liga pra ultima moda. Eu gosto de me vestir como me sinto bem e confortavel, até porque eu tenho uma rotina muito extensa durante o dia, que começa as 08:00 da manhã e só termina a meia noite. Já basta o esforço que faço de usar terno durante o dia inteiro e a noite tb. Agora, nos meus unicos dias que posso me vestir a vontade, não venha me criticar. Isso me tira do sério. E a pessoa que vier com criticas, corre o risco de ouvir uma resposta mal criada minha. Eu não sou muito o poço da paciencia não.</p>
<p>Minha mãe (uma critica nata de minha especie), costuma dizer que eu nasci pra ser intelectual mesmo (de acordo com ela, os intelectuais - leia-se professores - não se vestem bem). Minha resposta é: experimenta passar o dia inteiro de pé numa sala de aula e vamos ver onde vai parar sua "chiqueza" toda.</p>
<p>Desde que morei em Portugal, perdi o costume do salto alto. Na Europa, as pessoas não costumam usar salto tão frequentemente quanto nós brasileiros. E até hoje, minhas pernas doem quando uso salto. Pra completar, meu namorado é mais alto que eu, mas nem tanto, se coloco um salto mesmo alto, fico quase maior do que ele.. ele não gosta, e nem eu.</p>
<p>Enfim, tudo isso pra dizer, que sim, eu me arrumo, arrumo o cabelo, compro roupas legais quando posso, mas eu não sou patricinha, eu não compro roupas demasiadamente caras (meu dinheiro é bastante suado pra gastar com mulambo), não ando cheia de bijouterias, não vivo no salto, sou adepta do confortavel e nem por isso me acho relenta. Relentagem eu seria, se andasse como andam os mendigos nas ruas, os africanos na africa, mas eu tenho certeza que essa não é, uma opção deles.</p>
