Weather forecast: 13ºC Max, 1ºC Min, no wind, sunny without clouds,
Hi to everybody. I hope you will fine and right. In these moments, it is the dusk. Sun light is weak, with night wolves running for the sky. Blood is spread, with a pink color. The sign of the lost. Light goes out with shame, without looking at back. It knows he will be revived one moment.
First stars appear, with a pale shine. The black horse has come and the pink runs away. City lights come another time, with such a foolish sense of artificiality. Everything seems synthetic.
It is incredible that a simple car on your sight could do something like that. For an unknown reason, that image is linked with a memory. A memory of lost, a memory of shame. I guess I couldn´t see that model car again like I couldn´t see any more about Twilight films.
It is a bit curious, because I have never liked these books and these films. Did you know I have to go with her like an obligation? But, later, it turned into a sort of rite. Each year, we had to watch the new film with a silk and black bandage that used to hold our hands. It was a gesture of our love, a promise we had. "We will watch every film to the end".
Another broken promise like every promise. I don´t know but I think that getting older means understanding that nothing survives with the past of time, I think loneliness is inherited, promises are heavy lies that will be broken one day but, is this the life?
My worst defect is being a word man, I guess. Although now, I can´t say I will love somebody forever and ever because I know that dog barks more than bites.
Well, I am upset of being like that, like a little glass broken on the beach sand in winter.
One day, a person told me solitude is the greatest thing to understand, to know and to meet you. I don´t know but, if that is all I am, I think a bullet could be better.
Maybe the reason is so much time fighting against everything to have a degree and then, if you don´t see no light, no future, you may thing you wasted your entire life. I don´t know (another time). Maybe I am a worm that is waiting for being a butterfly.
One day, I have heard a Nat King Cole´s versioned song by David bowie:
"there was a boy, a very strange enchanted boy. They say he wandered very far, over land and sea. A little shy and sad of eyes"
I see me in these little words like a picture. Later, I have discovered that the same song was versioned for Moulin Rouge (a film that disliked me, though you know I dislike films in general).
Finally, the deeper obscure of the doom has painted my dear sky.

The last step to Winter
Leaves are changing,
Leaves are dying.
Winter is closer
Wind is colder,
heavier and deeper.
She has come.
She has come.
With a broken smile
With blue ice eyes
With frozen fingers and white,
like her smile.
My heart is broken another time.
She has come.
She has come.
P.S.: black bird (Turdus merula) in a leafless tree in December, in a Madrid´s Park.
Leaves are dying.
Winter is closer
Wind is colder,
heavier and deeper.
She has come.
She has come.
With a broken smile
With blue ice eyes
With frozen fingers and white,
like her smile.
My heart is broken another time.
She has come.
She has come.

These little feelings I feel right know
Weather Forecast: Max 14ºC, Min 9ºC, rainy, no wind
Hello to all the world. I am here again after this one week break. I am so sorry but that time I felt like doing anything. It is a bit strange because I am not lazy and I love doing whatever but that time... Maybe it is because of being unemployed, or because of loneliness I felt and I feel. In addition, I read hardly newspapers these week. So, I feel odd as if I were in Lovecraft´ tales.
It is well known that currently situation in Spain doesn´t help. And this election thing with everybody talking about politics and saying "vote this or vote that". With any doubt, I think votes must be linked with our genes and I must be a kind of monster because in Spain, if your family used to vote and vote for right-wind, you must vote for this. I don´t believe in. Maybe it is why we are like this way but well, I guess I am upset of this little world and as many people knows, I need to go away and discover a new life. At least, I must find a bit of hope in human.
I believe I need a job to turn into an independent person, to forget loneliness and to feel better. With this way I will be fine and I won´t have any time to think in my poor life, like a bookworm but more boring. It is usual I am lonely , with no friends, with no love.
If love is a tainted thing which is used to hide your biological needs. If someone is in love with you because he/she loves you because he/she wants anything from you. Faith is lost and personally I see that in this life is more important a car and money for your partner. Maybe it is my experience, I don´t know but if you can´t pay a car, a weekly lunch in a restaurant or a weekly cinema ticket, if you can´t buy a lot of things or some travels, if you can´t pick up her since her home until her home, if you don´t do everything how she wants to, NO ONE WILL LOVE YOU. And I say it in capitals. At 25 years old I have discovered nobody believes in this feeling in a pure way but It is hardly to say. I can´t understand how it is possible, maybe I must be alone in life.
Unfortunately, I have discovered too friendship exists while you can give something to the other person. It is annoying.
Maybe everything has a simple answer: maybe I wasn´t at the right time, at the right place with the right people. Therefore, I must think I need more time or I need to be in another country or I need to meet another people. Or maybe today is no time to thinking of, a day to be in bed, to look at another direction.
Like Platon said: I only know I don´t know anything.
Try to have a great week!

this horrible nightmare (politics in Spain)
Weather forecast: Min 10ºC, Max 18ºC, cloudy and closer to rain, East 5 Km / H wind.
Hi, people!!!! I can say I have left you during a week at least because of several things such as, a cold and another Greek tragedy, lol. So, with the remaining of this flu, I have decided to write a little.
Okay, of course, this month is a bit boring with this Spanish Election´s thing. Here, you can switch TV channels and you will find at any time, people talking about politics. So, you turn off TV and you decide: "Oh, let´s go to the street. I ´m going to see Autumn leaves on the ground of parks" and what do you find? Yeah, more politics!!!! Everybody is talking about it, also in the biggest Park!!! Therefore, you can see such a huge spam advertising at the street and you will hear from each person a talking about this subject...
Finally, I fell in this hole and, as you can see, I speak about it. It is like a virus, like the flu. You look like fine and indifferent but one day, you are sick. Well, It is the same thing when an idea turns into an ubiquitous matter, like black matter.
So, I have read both programs but It is very curious to take a look in them. Mainly, I can summarize:
Mainly Left-wing political party:
-Improve renting house
-New taxes for banks, for money deposits and for nuclear and hydrological power plants
-Invest more money in public services
-Jobs and contracts more temporary
So, more taxes and more taxes (it looks like a Right-wing political party), more taxes to the people who saves money and for this kind of energy. Dear political chief, do you know hydrological energy is the cleanest? Just stop thinking in huge dams because it is possible make little dams and rectify all the negative impacts within mini hydrological. In addition, we have an excellent technology.
And what do you do with nuclear power plants? Will you down the investment in security? Will you build a lot of thermal power stations like in Germany?
And what about investing more money in public services when you have cut off 30% in health and education services? Have you changed your mind suddenly? Will you continue spending more than earned?
And what about more temporary jobs? With this way, enterprises could fire people more easily. I am not surprised with qualified people leave Spain... Because... It is very hard than one of 2 young people are unemployed and we have 21% of unemployment (the double of Europe statistics) (21% from a calculation which takes 2001 population).
Mainly Right-wing political party:
-Make people buy the 700,000 empty houses with economic incentives
-Create more jobs
-No spend more money than earned
Okay, this looks like a dream´s child, you can say you want to have more jobs, to sell every empty house but how will you do? At least, you say the most logical thing, you can´t spend more than you receive...
But no one talks about food, education and health policies. Nobody has said nothing innovative about Renewable Energies and, surely, we couldn´t achieve 2020 European Energetic goals ... So, you can understand my frustration when I hear these things...
Well, have a nice day!!!!

Spanish "Halloween": their sweets and one tale
Weather forecast: Min 8ºC, Max 21ºC, no wind, without clouds
Hi another time, people! I am bored here this evening of the Sunday and I have remembered that I spoke a little about the holydays of Halloween before the American fashion, that is holydays of saints in Spain.
Well, do you remember that I said in several villages from the Region of Extremadura, there are a tradition that consists on children sing a son to the neighborhood, like in US in these time? Well, I seek to know a little more and I have discovered that this is called "Chaquetilla" or "a little jacket" and people gives what they have. I know I said people gives nuts and sweets but it isn´t true. People can give nuts, fig dried, pork sausage, black pudding made from pumpkins, quince jelly and sometimes sweets (what children wants to receive). Then, they go to eat them in the field. I don´t know their origin.
In addition, it is very curious because there were fruits with a candle in but, however, it isn´t a pumpkin but a watermelon. So, you can imagine your garden will be decorated with empty watermelons?
Anyway, this tradition is nearly disappeared because of American Halloween as people moved out this little villages to join to the city.
However, there are several sweets in this holydays if you can pay them, of course:
-Saints´ bones or "huesos de santo": made of marzipan and with a cover of syrup, they have different fillings. They have the form of bones. They are the most known and their origin is in Castilla and in Spain, mainly.
-Fritter or "Buñuelos": a pastry made of flour and sugar with different filling. Despite it is more common in Semana Santa holydays, you can find this sweent in bakeries in these holidays.
-Quince jelly with different nuts: from Extremadura region and people eat it in the field with a special bread.
-"Pestiños": a pastry made of flour, oil and sugar and then fried with a cover of honey. Its origin are in Andalucía and Extremadura regions. It is more frequent in Semana Santa or Christmas holydays.
-"Gachas de leche" or "Milk gachas": a pastry made of milk, flour and sugar or honey which is eaten with milk and bread. It is tipical in Andalucía region.
-Chestnut roasted: mainly in Galicia region, because of we are in Fall.
-Panellets: made of a pastry of lemon, sugar, potatoes boiled, eggs and almonds or pine nut. Mainly in Cataluña region.
May be, one day I translate a recipe for you.
From the other hand, a part of religious sense, there was a kind of death veneration and some authors thought in paranormal activity this night between October 31st and November 2sd because of romantic culture which has a link between love, death and paranormal activity. So, there are a tale from Becquer called "Soul Mountain" or "El Monte de las Ánimas" and which is based on a local tale from the North centre of Spain in the region of Soria. I would summarize a little this tale:
<<So, in Dark Ages, a pack of knights of noble lineage were hunting in that Soul Mountain but they were back to their home because it was November 1st or "The Saint´s day" and they spoke that this name was due to a mysterious tale: Several years ago, this mountain was a property from templar. In times when Christians fought against Moorish, the King has demanded the help from templars to conquer Soria city, instead of demanding help from Castilian knights. As consequence, there had been a fight between templar and Castilian knights until the King solved it and their men buried all the deads in this fight in the fields of this templar mountain. So, people thought in night November 1st to 2sd, the souls runned with animals scared and no one could be this night in the mountain.
Finally, that group arrived to their home and the male character said he would give her a diamond like gift to the female character because it was a day to celebrate, the day of saints. She said this gift could threat her will. So, she said she had lost a blue neckerchief in the Soul´s Mountain and if he tried it, she would accept his gift.
Hi was scared about the idea but he took his horse because he thought that he could kill more wolves like he had done in the hunting.
Minutes died, hours died and he wasn´t back. She woke up because someone had said her name but it was just the wind. So, she listened Soria bells and it was November 2snd, the day of people dead, and she began to pray. She was very scared and she slept. The day had come and she woke up thinking anything had passed and there was anything to be scared last night. But, suddenly, she saw her necherchief in blood in her room. Her eyes knocked out of position... She died because of terror.
In this morning, when servants wanted to inform her that the male had died because of wolves, they found her immobile and dead.>>

Words and ideas in languages
Weather forecast: Min 8ºC, Max 21º ,sunny, no wind
Hi to all. Today I am a little twisted because I must set up clocks with an hour less. No, I don´t leave my country, unfortunately, and this is because of Daylight Saving Time (DST). Such an odd name to say that! Yesterday I have this subject with my French friend that sometimes there are words more appropriates in one language, for example, there is the word "aguantar" in Spanish which means different things such as to bear, to endure, to support, to withstand, to survive the past of time, to hold, to put up with something, to resist, to hold on, to hang on, to last and maybe another thing I have forgotten.
I will give you another example in French that maybe you know. There are words "gourmet" and "gourmand" and "glouton". May be, we can use then like synonims but we will be doing a fault. "Gourmet" means a person who loves the quality of food or drink, that is, he/she eats or drinks in order to identify tastes , while "Gourmand" it is a person who loves eating or drinking and who can´t resist to eat when he/she see food or drink, while "Glouton" is this kind of person who eats very much and a lot of food.
So, it is like a TV show when you speak another language because there are different ways to understand the life or to think about something in each language. It is a kind of challenge because in your language you use an only word to describe an idea and it doesn´t exist in the language you are speaking in that moment. And it is a curious thing because you can use words from another language to describe an idea with a misunderstood as consequence. In this way, my French friend who lives more time in Spain, have a lot of difficulties to speak with only French speakers. May be it is because mind of 2 or more language speakers is more global than people who speaks only one. Therefore, you can understand more things about life, about different cultures and, personally, I think it is a beautiful thing you can show an idea who doesn´t exist in your language and finally, that you can communicate with a foreign person.
May be you think I am crazy but not at all because every people who speaks more than one language can think like me.
Indeed, I believe language is the representation of ideas from one culture, from one way to see and understand the life. So, I find very useful as experience the fact of speak different languages but with one condition: always you must communicate with another person. You will say, "Oh, who is going to speak one language without this finality?" I can say that because, in Spain, there are several regions that speak more and more one language and people forgets the language that links us (the Spanish) with the consequence of, may be in 30 years, a person from Cataluña region could no communicate with a Spanish from another region.
And there are also these languages which have risks to dissappeared with the consequences of losing this way of thinking about like a lot of languages in India which have less than 100 speakers.
Have a good weekend!

Spooky Halloween
Weather forecast: Min 8º, Max 20º, Cloudy, No wind
Hi to all, we are next to this known party around the world. Yes, it s yet the weekend but most people will be in a party of curious customs, someone will be dressed like a spider man with no pants, another person in a Catwoman suit to show their fat to everybody and any guy dressed like a woman. "Dude, it s a party. Let´s dance!" Stop. Are you sure to dress like that? Because any usual person won´t be dressed like that, yeah, we know that you begin with an innocent custom and later it comes that you are hangover and you don´t remember anything. So, there are 3 possible cases:
1-You are in the local commissary. Hint: put your pants next time, little friend.
2-You are a weird feeling in your... Do you know what I have saying about to be dressed like a woman?
3-You feel dirty with a terrible smell of alcohol.
Of, I will add an additional hint, you can have a bad taste in your mouth. So, don ´t drink from the glass you find. Do you remember this scene in American Pie?
Fortunately, here in Spain, Halloween is new, despite, the crimes rise up in this days. Well, maybe I speak earlier because today is no 31st but I can say party nerds will go to be dressed this weekend.
I have seen the beautiful ,and strange for me, landscape with orange decoration. For example, the pumpkin fields, the light´s in houses, garden´s with skeletons and Mc Donald´s clowns. As you can see in the pictures below. I guess someone has made the laundry in the City Hall of Quebec City (Canada) because no one could be notice it. You can read a bit of Quebec City´s Halloween here (http://www.lifeinquebec.com/featured-4/quebec-city-hall-halloween-decorations-2010/).
You know, you can see a plenty of stupid things, with no sense, like puppets, vampires and wolf from Twilight and so on. Furthermore, most people wants to be tricked or have a good nightmare in live. Therefore, the main ennemy character of Saw would have luck to find new victims for their 66th film.
Poor celts, we have forgotten the sense of Shaman´s eve with the night more larger in this time. And now, we consider Halloween like Walpurgis´s night, the witchs´night!
Anyway, I find very amazing this party and their decorations in all the city, because people are happy and linked with their friends. But here, in Spain, it is very different and ,like I have spoken with my friend from Israel, it s more an emotional holyday.
The 1st November or "Sants day" most Spanish people go to cemeteries to give flowers and remember their civils dead. So, many people take these holydays to visit their villages of origin, to see their families and to remember their people. It is a day to remember the death in the catholical sense and it isn´t a party to be dressed. Nevertheless, people give candys (more precisely nuts, figs dried and others fruit dried) to children who sing a special song to neighbours, at least in Montanchez zone in the region of Extremadura . However, the majority of Spanish go whether to the beach (if weather wants to) or to other countries.Well, there was not this tradition of frightened tales, in spite of two Becquer Tales in XIX century. But all this will change because we love party than the catholical sense we have.
Personally, I used to watch spooky films in this eve until the dawn until few years ago. And, last years, we used to have a special rol play game session. Unfortunately, this year seems to be cold with no plans. So, maybe I return to this childhood tradition I have.
Have a nice weekend and remember my hints!
Hi to all, we are next to this known party around the world. Yes, it s yet the weekend but most people will be in a party of curious customs, someone will be dressed like a spider man with no pants, another person in a Catwoman suit to show their fat to everybody and any guy dressed like a woman. "Dude, it s a party. Let´s dance!" Stop. Are you sure to dress like that? Because any usual person won´t be dressed like that, yeah, we know that you begin with an innocent custom and later it comes that you are hangover and you don´t remember anything. So, there are 3 possible cases:
1-You are in the local commissary. Hint: put your pants next time, little friend.
2-You are a weird feeling in your... Do you know what I have saying about to be dressed like a woman?
3-You feel dirty with a terrible smell of alcohol.
Of, I will add an additional hint, you can have a bad taste in your mouth. So, don ´t drink from the glass you find. Do you remember this scene in American Pie?
