De aquella época dorada...

You've got to accentuate the positive Eliminate the negative Latch on to the affirmative Don't mess with Mister In-Between

You've got to spread joy up to the maximum Bring gloom down to the minimum Have faith or pandemonium Liable to walk upon the scene

(To illustrate his last remark Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark What did they do Just when everything looked so dark)

Man, they said we better Accentuate the positive Eliminate the negative Latch on to the affirmative Don't mess with Mister In-Between No, do not mess with Mister In-Between Do you hear me, hmm?

(Oh, listen to me children and-a you will hear About the elininatin' of the negative And the accent on the positive) And gather 'round me children if you're willin' And sit tight while I start reviewin' The attitude of doin' right

(You've gotta accentuate the positive Eliminate the negative Latch on to the affirmative Don't mess with Mister In-Between)

You've got to spread joy (up to the maximum) Bring gloom (down) down to the minimum Otherwise (otherwise) pandemonium Liable to walk upon the scene

To illustrate (well illustrate) my last remark (you got the floor) Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark What did they say (what did they say) Say when everything looked so dark

Man, they said we better Accentuate the positive Eliminate the negative Latch on to the affirmative Don't mess with Mister In-Between No! Don't mess with Mister In-Between

Bird on the wire

Esta canción la escuché una vez en una película del mismo nombre protagonizada por Mel Gibson y Goldie Hawn en 1990. Pasaron los años y supe que era del maestro Leonard Cohen.

Johnny Cash hizo un cover, lo mismo que los Neville Brothers cuya versión es la que escuché en el soundtrack del mencionado filme y cuyo video comparto hoy. Es una canción que definitivamente va al soundtrack de mi vida y supongo que de la vida de muchos otros que igual que yo tratan de ser libres a su manera.

Like a bird on the wire,
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
Like a worm on a hook,
Like a knight from some old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee.
If i, if I have been unkind,
I hope that you can just let it go by.
If i, if I have been untrue
I hope you know it was never to you.

Like a baby, stillborn,
Like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone who reached out for me.
But I swear by this song
And by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee.
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch,
He said to me, you must not ask for so much.
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door,
She cried to me, hey, why not ask for more?

Oh like a bird on the wire,
Like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free.

acida yo?

Ácida.
Ahurita me estaba acordando de que una vez me dijeron ácida. Sí, un psicólogo estilo Dr. Marvin Monroe lo hizo, no es que haya ido a terapia, sino que es amigo de un amigo y se le ocurrió analizarme y me dijo 'ácida'. Sarcástica y cínica a veces, criticona... eso lo tenía claro. Pero nunca había pensado en mí misma como una persona a la que le aplicara el adjetivo que me ocupa la mente ahora.

No le respondí nada ese momento, no sé por qué... supongo que no tenía intención de negar o afirmar mi 'acidez'. Pero ahora me pregunto qué tan ácida seré...
Supongo que hay días en que soy como un kiwi, no es imposible de comer solo. Otros días quizá soy como una grey, con azúcar encima pasa o hecha en refresco con agua, igual que el limón. Al menos espero no ser como esos chicles de broma.

chaos...

Katherine Anne Porter once said: There seems to be a kind of order in the universe... in the movement of the stars and the turning of the Earth and the changing of the seasons. But human life is almost pure chaos. Everyone takes his stance, asserts his own right and feelings, mistaking the motives of others, and his own.

Time... don't let it slip away...

Oliver Wendell Holmes once said: Many people die with their music still in them. Too often it is because they are always getting ready to live. Before they know it, time runs out...

ugh, lunes

Más que cualquier otro día, el lunes necesito más calma, más silencio y más café!

A little something from The Cure...

I don't care if monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and wednesday too
Thursday i don't care about you
It's friday i'm in love

Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday wednesday break my heart
Thursday doesn't even start
It's friday i'm in love

Saturday wait
And sunday always comes too late
But friday never hesitate...

I don't care if monday's black
Tuesday wednesday heart attack
Thursday never looking back
It's friday i'm in love

Monday you can hold your head
Tuesday wednesday stay in bed
Or thursday watch the walls instead
It's friday i'm in love

Saturday wait
And sunday always comes too late
But friday never hesitate...

Dressed up to the eyes
It's a wonderful surprise
To see your shoes and your spirits rise
Throwing out your frown
And just smiling at the sound
And as sleek as a shriek
Spinning round and round
Always take a big bite
It's such a gorgeous sight
To see you eat in the middle of the night
You can never get enough
Enough of this stuff
It's friday
I'm in love

Para días de lluvia...

Hace rato que estoy pensando en qué escribir...

El persistente sonido de la lluvia en el techo se ha convertido en el soundtrack de pensamientos varios, entre ellos música para días como estos, mejores cosas que hacer en lugar de estar en el trabajo (aunque no estes trabajando), que sería interesante comer, reminiscencias de días de lluvia en otras épocas... en fin, un monton de cosas.



Me puse a buscar la definición de LLUVIA y aprendí que deriva del latín pluvĭa y que es un fenómeno atmosférico que se inicia con la condensación del vapor de agua contenido en las nubes y que recién se le puede decir lluvia cuando las gotas tienen un diámetro mayor de 0.5 mm.

Pero para mí la lluvia es mucho más que eso. Para mí el agua que cae del cielo suele representar un milagro que se transforma en fuente de inspiración y esperanza. Además, de que a veces el mundo se ve más vivo cuando está mojado.

Claro que por otro lado, no debemos olvidar que todo en exceso tampoco es bueno... y lo mismo sucede con la lluvia.

Soul Asylum - Creatures Of Habit

If the day wants to begin, you can let the day in
If the darkness has no end, light up the darkness
It ain't on what you can depend, it's who you can depend on

If the rain wants to come in, you can let the rain in
If the darkness is your friend, you can hold the darkness
And if it ain't what you got, you know you gotta have it

The grass gets greener all the time for creatures of habit

Look out, here comes one more morning
Habits form without a warning
Love it can be habit-forming

Make your enemies your friends, and leap standing naked
It ain't how much you can take, it's how you take it

Look out, here comes one more morning
Habits form without a warning
Love it can be habit-forming for creatures of habit

Look out
A habit's forming
It's just one more morning
For creatures of habit
