The strange days by Vetusta Morla
The life goes on. It continues even if you don´t want to.
Sometimes, sometimes, you have so many doubts about your life that you can´t know what is happening.
The life is enough hard to do it harder.
Anyway, there´re points that I understand at all. Why can´t the world be a better place? Why when you are giving to best yourself to change it in a nicer placer is there someone to avoid it?
Too many questions, too few answers.
It´s just a Sunday morning and the cycle begins again.

December 22nd in Spain, a recent tradition
Weather forecast: Min 8ºC, Max 14ºC, mist
The background is: December 22nd, Spain, international reporters in Madrid. Why this? Because they are expecting a recent Spanish custom. The lotto day- people say.
Everybody holds their breath at 8 a.m. when the rit did start. Some children called "San Ildefonso´s children" started their process: catching balls with numbers and crying them with the prizes. Thus, until all the prizes would be given.
Their public was a bit weird. They were freaks with odd fancy dress with number balls and the lotto tickets. A Japanese reporter said it was his first time.
The balls keep going and children´ voices. Nearly the half of Spain was awake to listen who was the affortunated of that big amount of money.
And then. Then, the luckiest people began to jump, bounce, laugh and open Cava bottles. All the same in all the country, the news were only about that. The lotto, the lot.
But wait. You said it is a kind of tradition, didn´t you?
Thanks, little reader. I did say it.
Most of Spaniards are waiting for this day during all the year. It´s possible to buy the lotto tickets til the December 21st. However, it´s the gift of them wich makes the tradition. Friends, relatives, class and work mates gift participations of that lotto tickets.
The most curious data is that the prize of each ticket worth €20. Even though, the hope of having some more money breaks the money obstacle. Money makes money.
So, you know why I switched off the TV - to avoid watching one and another one the same news.
Have a nice weekend!

Red Moon
Weather forescast: Min -4ºC, Max 6ºC, no wind, brighty
Red her lips.
Passion on their hips.
The bloody Moon was their name.
I wrote these little words last Saturday to that white princess who turns into red lips sometimes. Do you know what´s the reason to that color for so short time?
In a Moon Eclipse when the Earth hid the Moon from the Sun:
1º The Moon "can´t see" the Sun.
2º The light of the Sun is reflected over the Earth atmosphere toward the Moon.
3º The Moon turns into red.
This last short time. For instance, it was one hour last Saturday until She turns to yellow and white.
I´d like to kiss your white skin and red lips, baby.
P.S. : I ve found this NASA video about one Red Moon in 2011.

Fight for Cataluña Region
Weather forecast: Min -4ºC, Max 6ºC, bright, no wind
Hi to everybody, again. As you know there was the election in Cataluña some week ago. The election was anticipated as a mesure of support the independentist project by Artur Mas, head of the ancient regional government CIU. It´s likely you wonder what were the results, isn´t it?
So, have a little time to the figure.
According to the results we can notice CIU lost the majority and requires support for having it. So, the options are:
-ERC, independentist left wing -> They support the independency but they don´t agree the right politics of CIU.
-PSC, national left wing-> It has rejected the support.
-PP, national right wing
-Other groups.
Which is the future of Cataluña? It´s too soon to know it, though there are having several meetings these weeks. Anyway, we must point out the high participation -closer to 70%- and that Cataluña doesn´t follow like a team the independency.
Otherwise, it´s too soon to say what it´s going to happen.
Have a nice day!

The Road
Weather forecast: Max 6ºC, Min -4ºC, no wind, brighty
Sinous, dark, through the night. Lost feet in their path. The wheels are no longer wheels after time and time.Speed grows up. Down road I go.
Memories, experiences, mixed by the vibration cloud.
Engine over 3000rpm.
Outside: silence, switch up, perpetuity, shift up.
And their curves are getting closer.
And their curvers are drawing.
And their curves are disappearing.
Down road I go, in the quiet night journey.

Cataluña independent
Weather
forecast: Max 16ºC, Min 8ºC, overcast, no wind.
Hi to all
again. I´ve promised myself to keep writing a little. Today, I am not going to
talk about my feelings, thanks goodness. Today it´s an important day in Spain:
the Cataluña elections.
As all you
may know, the Cataluña region -located in the NE of Spain- is trying to achieve
their independence. Even though, it isn´t well known at all.
So, I am
going to be direct with all they statements in a sum way.
The
background:
-Economy:
-
One
of the main economy actors.
-
More
than 50% trade is based on Spain.
-
The
most indebted region in Spain, equivalent to 22% of their GDP
-
They
want an especial tax system which one they could have the incomes of their
region, not to have a percentage as each Spanish region. But the current
Spanish Government rejected it.
-
They
have asked a €5 million loan to the Spanish Government because they don´t have
enough money to afford Education and Health services - the Spanish Government
has just given it.
-Education:
-
Important
cut downs since 2012
-
If
only do a judge the decision, one can study in Spanish. If not so, only in
Catalan, since 2011
-Health
services:
-
Important
budget cut downs since 2012
-
Rising
prices since 2011
-Transport:
-
35%
tariff rising in public transport
-
Public
transport service deterioration.
-
Gas
and diesel tariff rising per liter
-
One
of the main Mediterranean ports
-
4
international airports.
What their
politicians is claiming:
-
An
independent country where:
- they could decide, have their taxes.
- the Spanish Government puts money for their Health, Security and Education services.
- they could maintain the current trade with Spain.
- they could have the Euro
- they could be in Europe
- Spain supports Cataluña in their EU membership.
The Spanish
point of view: you can figure it out.
As a
result, the Cataluña government has decided to do elections 2 years before so
as to hide their economic disaster . Today is that day but no one knows what it
will happen.
So, I´m
going to claim my independence too. I want that the Spanish Government gives me
money for the Health, Security and Education expenses and that I won´t have to
pay any tax.
Have a nice
day and an incredible Black Friday´s weekend!
