Sexier

Sexier, baby doll, wear high heels.
 ,just wink at me to start.
 ,just try on a size smaller.
Don't forget to be
sexy in the swimming pool, on the police station,
sexy in the office, make yourself sexy all day.
Baby, when you want a fit company.
 ,you drive me crazy and get me hot.
Your parent will say that it is immoral.
If you're going to dance, people will tell that you are fantastic.
Sexy at night when the neighbour is watching you.
You will see how much you will enjoy.
 , just a subtle innuendo.
 , if you want to ride on my motorcycle,
unbutton one more button.
don't forget you can be sexy as rock & roll.
...
Wear Marilyn's skirt,
take pictures/selfies next to King Kong
.....
.....
when you want not to go unnoticed.
...
Although you listen some rudeness in the street
Although freaks says thay you must be cooler.

Los artículos gramaticales

Voy a adoptar la nueva estrategia de siempre incluir los artículos a menos que sepa seguramente que no se necesitan. He experimentado que es poco fiable mi habilidad de discernir dónde se usa un artículo. Creo que la causa de la dificultad es que no hay reglas claras sobre su uso — ni en español ni en inglés. (Podría haber dicho "el español" y "el inglés allí.) He escuchado que el idioma ruso no tiene artículos. Creo que el chino es igual. ¿No es gracioso que algunos idiomas usan un elemento gramátical, y se parece bastante importante, mientras a otros idiomas les falta ese elemento en absoluto? El inglés, el español y el alemán no pueden concordar en el uso de las mayúsculas, mientras en China preguntan "¿Qué es una mayúscula?" A propósito, ¿has pensado en el problema de alfabetización en China? Creo que no tienen un orden establecido de sus cáracteres. ¿Cómo se ordena una lista de nombres, por ejemplo?

Escándalo en fútbol

He visto los títulos sobre corrupción en la FIFA. El número de personas acusadas me da la impresión que el aceptación de soborno sea conducta estándar en la organización. Según un informe, uno de los acusados, al escuchar crítica en el pasado, había dicho algo como "Si quieres ser 'más santo que Usted', funda una iglesia — esto es negocios." Es notable también que el gobierno estadounidense haya intervenido tanto en el asunto. Veo que Vladimir Putin ya ha acusado a los EEUU de entremeterse en la organización internacional para desacreditar la selección de Rusia como sede de la Copa Mundial en 2018. ¿Quién sabe?

Líneas de alcantarillado II

La reunión sucedió como esperada. Había tres funcionarios: el director de la compañía, la mujer cargada con el proyecto y un hombre cuyo trabajo es negociar con los residentes. Explicaron el propósito del  proyecto, que es reemplezar dos estaciones de bomba por construir dos líneas de alcantarillado que operan por gravedad (no necesitan bombas). Como ingeniero, puedo entender fácilmente el deseo de simplificar el sistema y eliminar causas de fallo.

Al principio nos dieron un mapa del área con dos líneas coloradas que marcaron las rutas aproximadas de las nuevas tuberías. Una de las líneas pasó directamente por nuestra casa. Enfatizaron que nadie conocería los trazados exactos hasta que se completaran las medidas de la tierra. Pero es claro que quieren construir una de las líneas a lo largo del arroyo que linda mi propiedad. Hablaron también de recompensa para cualquier devaluación que podría resultar del proyecto.

El próximo paso son las medidas que esperan realizar durante los pocos meses que vienen. Ya veremos.

Líneas de alcantarilla

Hace seis meses recibimos una carta de la empresa local de agua, pidiéndonos permiso para inspeccionar nuestra propiedad como parte de un estudio de las necesidades para líneas de alcantarilla en el área. La carta tuvo pocos detalles, y no nos interesó mucho el tema, así que no respondimos. Llegó una segunda carta hace un mes, sin más información. Dándonos cuenta de que no iban a dejar de pedirnos, consultamos un vecino nuestro quien es miembro del consejo del condado. Había recibido las cartas también y no supo del que trataron. Sospechó que tuvo que ver con la construcción de casas en el área. Nos prometió contactar la empresa y enterarse de lo que pasaba. Lo próximo que escuchamos fue que había arreglado una reunión entre un oficial de la empresa y todos los afectados. La reunión tendrá lugar esta noche. Será interesante escuchar al funcionario y ver si hay alguna razón para concederles permiso.

The Times Are Changing

The flood waters level has increased without your control,
so either you had better learn to swim,
or you will sink without salvation.
...
Because the times is changing without redemption.
...
Senators and lawyers, pay attention,
don't obstruct the door and get out with discretion,
the combat has started and soon there will be
no marks nor signals to begin.
...
Fathers and Mothers of this country
don't criticize the one that you don't understand,
just solve this situation,
or Let's get it over with your institution
...
the line is drawn, the curse is put,
the slow one today will be quick tomorrow,
your time is over
and the devil is in our side
....

The Legend of The Moorish Queen

In 1153, In Siurana, in the Middle Ages, a beautiful place in Catalonia happened this story when the Arabics was being expelled from Spanish lands.
The Christians were at the foot of Siurana, a village above the mountains that was occuped by muslims, In particular that strategic territory was occuped by the Moorish Queen's  Abd-el-azia, a woman with a great beauty. Siurana was the last place to reconquer Catalonia.
But the Christians from Catalonia were incapable to take Siurana, for what thanks to trickery of a Jewish traitor the Christians could go into the castle, during the battle, the Moorish queen swore to die before being caught by barbaric Christians who killed most of population, while the Moorish queen enjoys a party with the local nobility because she felt sure in her castle.
Suddenly an arrow came in through the window and nailed in the table, the queen panicked and fled her quarters, the christians went in and found to her almost nude, upon looking that she was so pretty, they decided to give her an chance, she will continue living if she is converted to Christianism, she  agreed and asked for being left her alone to dress appropiately in order to be baptized, they agreed.

But she took a simple veil to cover herself and ran away to stables, rode her white horse and ran towards the precipice willing to die.  The soldiers were impressed to see the queen riding a horse while she covered the eyes of horse to avoid it may stop at the edge of the precipice.

According to the legend, the horse stopped and leave its mark on the rock, but then it was spurred on by her, jumped and they fell down. And the veil kept flying around.

Citas de Oscar Wilde

Cuando era joven creé que el dinero era lo más importante en la vida; ahora como viejo sé que lo es.

Amar a si mismo es el comienzo de un romance de toda la vida.

Guarda el amor en tu corazón. Una vida sin él es como un jardín sin sol cuando están muertas las flores.

Las mujeres están hechas para ser queridas, no entendidas.

Cómo se espera que sea feliz una mujer con un hombre que insiste en tratarle como si fuera un ser humano perfectamente normal?

Un soñador es el que puede encontrar su camino sólo por la luz de la luna, y su castigo es que ve el amanecer antes del resto del mundo.

Los hombres siempre quieren ser el primer amor de una mujer — a las mujeres les gusta ser el último romance de un hombre.

La única diferencia entre el santo y el pecador es que cada santo tiene un pasado, y cada pecador tiene un futuro.

La sociedad existe sólo como un concepto mental; en el mundo real hay sólo individuos.

The Breakwater

On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday looking at the sea,
it is a good place to go for forgetting.
Patrol cars and behind the town,
May that blondie look at me when passing.

Girl, you can live a homelife,
look for a husband with being afraid to go away.

Don't speak about the future,
it is an hope when the Rock&Roll
conquered my heart

On Thursday, Friday, Saturday sitting next to the sea,
it is a good place to go for forgetting.
I left my family watching TV,
At the breakwater, the sun is still smelt.

Interview to a Repentant Terrorist

It is well known the terrorism of the ETA organization that has been hitting Spain during long time. They fought  for the independence of a place called "Euskalerria", that is formed with a little part of France and a little part of Spain. Fortunately they are not operating in in this moment.
I had the oportunity to see an interview of a repentant terrorist from ETA on TV, yesterday. The most interesting for me was knowing how is the mentality of a terrorist. He was counting how his life was in that moments and the details of how he was recruited from the ETA organization.
According to he said, the young people who was considered heros when they decided to join to ETA in those times. A lot of families was willing to hide them at their homes  if it was necessary. Every target was good if it hit the state security. No matter the potentials victims, there only was targets, no matter who dies. In fact, he doesn't even currently know how his victims are called. He didn't know anything about his deads.
While the organization was killing, its popularity was falling probably because there were more innocent victims each time. So he started to have an idealism crisis. "What shit is this?, fuck the independence", he felt manipulated by the organization. Finally he decided to abandon the organization who told he was expelled.
It seems guilty conscience ends up coming some day.
How many times ideology is used to manipulate young people? I think this is happening nowadays in other terrorist groups.

Albert Einstein

The mind is similar to a parachute.. it just works when is open
All of us are very ignorant. what happens is that everyone ignores the same things
Imagination is more important than knowledge
The most mysterious thing in the world is that it is comprehensible.
Everything must simplify as maximun as possible, but no more.
The secret of creativity is knowing how to hide its sources
All about Science is just a refinement of usual thinking
Education is what is left when we forget everything learned at school
The really important is not to stop making questions ourselves
I never think in the future, it arrives too early
Two of them are infinite: the human stupidness an the universe; and I'm not sure if the second is.
Not all considered factors can be quantified, nor all of things that can be quantified can be considered
Madness is to make the same thing repeatedly, over and over again hoping to get differents results
First of all, you must learn the rules of game and after, to play better than anyone.
There are a motor force more strong than steam, electricity or atomic energy, it is the will.

El documental

Hace una semana vi un documental sobre los últimos días de la guerra en Vietnam. Me fascina ver los detalles de eventos de los que había oído hablar cuando tenía 12 años. Escribiendo más tarde sobre la experiencia en una sala de chat, me referí a "las" documentales, y me corregió un compañero. Me acuerdo de que respondí "Gracias, ¡pero es realmente injusto haber palabras sin pistas de género!" Es decir, no conocía una regla que me podría ayudar discernir si "documental" fuera masculina o feminina.

Más tarde, pensando en la conversación, me di cuenta de que el final de la palabra, -al, podría ser un sufijo que determina el género, como -ión y -miento. Me dijo el diccionario que, de hecho, el sufijo -al indica un lugar en el que abunda algo. Dio el ejemplo de "cerezal" y esto me hizo recordar "trigal" de un trabalenguas. Además, el sufijo es masculino.

¿Un documental es un lugar en el que abundan los documentos? No estoy seguro. Y he encontrado otras palabras que terminan con "al" pero no son masculinas. Pero la investigación ha hecho inolvidable el género de  "documental" y me ha dado otra herramienta para resolver el rompecabezas de español.
