Is Texting helping our Youngsters?

Texting is not a new phenomenon, so it has been used for long time.
But now, with the development of Social Networks, like Facebook, Twitter and especially with the use of mobile phones. These latter are opened to a huge new workd for all society.
But who more use all these new devices are our youngsters. With the use of their mobile phones and thanks to the internet the use of applications like Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp, telegram .... is easier for them.
But is with this use when I think if they are using their language in the good way.
The problem is that they have always had something in their hands. They have been playing with videogames, little machines .... with technological games. And now they use the new tecnologies like a new way of communication.
If they use abrebiations or Texting in their way of writing? Are they loosing the vocabulary? or their language?
:) means I am happy
ASAP : As soon as possible
WTF What the fuck ...
Adults can use them but we know in what context we can or we must use them. We know their do and don'ts. But our young society never will know when they have to use the correct language to express theirsleves.
In my humble opinion, I think new technologies are doing more harm than good to this sector of our society.
We can make mistakes, but we must avoid futures mistakes.
We must'n forget that the use of mobile phones with the internet is creating new additiions, sometimes very difficult to control.

But we are living in a new period and I think we have to get used to living with these gadgets, but always trying to boos the good use of our language. 
Keep our language alive!

Palabras encontradas

Ayer escuché una palabra, y esta mañana usé otra... las dos podrían interesarles como palabras raras pero útiles. La primera fue "rigmarole", una palabra más escuchada que escrita, tanto que no estaba seguro de cómo se escribe ella. Si fuera a escribirla como suena, escribiría "riggamarole", teniendo cuatro sílabas. Pero, ¿qué es? ¿Qué quiere decir? Un "rigmarole" es un procedimiento extendido que parece tener poco propósito. O podría ser un montón de palabras sin significado. Alguien podría decir "Let's avoid all the rigmarole and get something done."

La segunda palabra fue "albeit". La usé en una oración como "I think that method is more effective, albeit temporary." Un sinónomo es "although". Cualquier diferencia entre "albeit" y "although" es demasiado sútil para explicar, pero me(1) creí que "albeit" era la más adecuada en el contexto. Supongo que es una de las antiguas palabras formadas por combinar otras palabras, como "nevertheless", "notwithstanding" y "goodbye".

En fin, déjame pedirles perdón por este "rigmarole" sobre palabras inglesas. Creo que son interestantes, "albeit" no bien conocidas.

(1) ¿La "me" aqui enfatiza "creí"? Buscaba algo equivalente a "I DID think..." en inglés.

Moon

I'm tired of barking you, moon,
I'm tired of looking at me in you,
if I go, if I come, you always judge me,
you always decide for you, for me,
stop taking charge please
because I can hardly be who I am.

Full moon,the strings
that you handle are invisible;
Full moon, you always wrap in
a cloud of lunatic sorrow.

It is not that I prefer to dream in darkness,
nor to pet without seeing her good-looking,
but apologise that I have doubts
if you will lonely be ...Lyrics

Nightmare!!!

I wanted to say you a nightmare that it happens to me.
This week I began my summer Holidays, so I decided to go cycling every day. I wanted. But I haven't been able to do it because my byke is broken.
Last Saturday I went to buy a new pair of pedals for my bike. These ones are special because are for may boots. I tried to put them in the bike but I couldn't do it. I am not very good at repairing things, so I went back to the shop with the bike to learn how to do it. They wanted to repair it there but I prefered coming back at home and going to a shop in the village where I am spending my holidays.
Last Monday i was in the shop with my bike. The owner told me that he had a lot of stuff to do and probably until Wednesday i wouldn't have my bike repaired. So I went yesterday and of course my bike was in the same place. I am out of sorts, becuase I had planned to do a lot of things with my bike but I can't do them.
Today I came back to the shop and for my surprise, nobody knew nothing about my bike. The man told me that I he could do something it would be in this afternoon but he had a lot of things to do. That was the hair that breaks the camel back. For 2 days my bike has been there and now he finds my bike without knowing anything ...... I was terribly annoyed. So I took my car and I carried my bike to the first shop. I hope tomorrow enjoy with my bike.
I will never understand how an owner can't say not to a job. Most of them argue  that people usually go to big shops or big garages to have their things repaired or to buy things. When you want to help them, they refuse to do. I will never understand it.
This week is a real nightmare ... OMG!!!!!!!
The best is that now I am trying to understand twitter world. I don't know how many time i will be connected on Twitter because I think it has possitive things and negative things. My friends tell me that being in twitter is more cultural but everybody can know the people which you follow. ..... OMG!!!!

Gym Matters



Last week, for the first time in four years, I signed up for a gym membership. This summer was a period of significant stress, so I needed an activity that helped me to relax my mind and recharge my batteries. For an unknown reason, weight training is the physical activity that unloads the most of my stress levels.

Since the moment I grabbed the dumbbells, an indescribable sensation ran throughout my body. An hour of curling, pressing, and pushing weights didn’t stop my thirst of pumping iron. I wanted more adrenaline in my muscles. But my conscience advised me to take it easy, “Calm down, you are pushing too hard for a middle-aged fellow.”

I paid my dues over the weekend. My leg muscles were swollen from squatting, and my biceps hurt. My back implored me to get a massage. Ouch! Yet my spirit was full of life; my posture, upright; my energy tank, overloaded; and my mind, totally relaxed.

I am ready to hit the weights this week.

The Ones Of The Intuition

Don't ask me for me any more
if you know what is the answer,
since the moment that I see you
I know what is what I am going to do.

I pretend to be a victim of you nearly perfect,
I pretend to be a volcano of you today.

The love is perhaps a common evil and
how you can see, I am alive yet,
it will be a lucky question.

I think that I start to understand,
   chorus:you start to fall, slowly,
that we desire each other before we were born
   chorus:I feel you from before to be born
I have the feeling the action starts,
   chorus: you are keeping within.
and the women are the ones of the intuition.
   chorus:So, I am willing to everything, my love.

I propose you a slip, a mistake  become a right.
I propose me to be a volcano of you today.Lyrics

Welcome to the "New World" II

The piece of news over that I wrote last day is, in my opinion, very interesting.
Apart from all things that I expounded I would like to make a reflection.
If that tribe has been discovered in the XXI Century, and they have been living their own lifes like as always they have done it, Does it worth changing their habbits? Does it worth trying to adapt them to the new society?
In my opinion, I think we should leave them living as they have always done. I think we have a lot to learn from them, but I think if they learn something from us, probably their lifes would dramatically change. They have more to loss than to gain.
Are we happier with all gadgets that with have? We are living focused on new technologies, not only the internet but also with all machines that make our lifes easier, owens, fridges, flights, disherwhasers, kitchens, .... precook food.....
The main difference between them and ours is that probably they are healthier and stronger than us.
It would be a pity if we help them to adapt to our current society, full of things that probably we would not need them.
For us, the more things we have the happier we are and I wonder the happier we are or unhappier we are.... I think the second.
Before people were happy with little things, and now we can't life without material things that really we don't need.
It's for this reason that I think we should leave living their own life, keeping to maintain their tribes and also helping them when they need some help.


Would they understand our way of life? Would they be able to adapt their lifes to ours? I don't know but It would be a pity loosing their backgrounds.

The Bus Blues

Everyday I wake up in different room
where I feel my bones when the sun is rising,
we little sleep and badly burning the health
to reach a such godforsaken place
where I will sing again.
What will you be doing?

Everyday a concert, an essay,
a tension that I manage upon knowing
that It is my life what I give,
there is no tramps nor lies,
I am like you see that I am,
I know anymore by being a dog
than by being an old man,
but I start to miss a minute
between you and I.

I live on the road
within a bus
I live...
parking in a blues
I live...
I always look at the south,
I live...
the bus blues.Lyrics

Welcome to the "New World"

Some days ago, I read an article about an ancient tribe that it appears in Brazil. They had been living alone, unaware of what it was happening out of their lands.
They hadn't clothes, they were undressed. But they wanted to go to look for help or to hunt. At the end they were discoverted and their images were showed to everybody through news and social networks.
I would like to put in their possition. They have  been living without all necesities that we have, no light, no internet, no money, no mobile phones ....... And I wonder who are happier? No doubt that they are happier than ours because they didn't need all things that we have and that if we hadn't we wouldn't be without them.
Never had I thought that in this world would be able to exist people like them. I hope they can live their life like before because now they have a new danger: their extition like a tribe and the lost of all their traditions.
I wish they could live their own life. But I only can say : Welcome to the new world.

From My Freedom

Sitting on the platform, my body trembles and
I can see a old train far away whistling,
like the shadow of the yesterday.

It won't be easy a new heart again,
I had always been a half
without knowing my identity.
I won't take any picture from here,
I will go naked  the same as when I was born,
I must start to be myself and know that
I am able and I manage with my skin.

From my freedom
I am strong because I am a volcano.
Never any one ever taught to me to fly
but I must arise the flight.Lyrics
