rodilla
mostly when i walk
last night had a yoga class
short
seems to work
and ice afterwards
but this morning
stiff
morning adventures
while making café
and saw on chat
a man from another world
my phone rang
8.10 am, huh?
i didn't get to it soon enough
the knee, i walk slow...
then the numbers calling
were
000-000-0000
i feel like i am every day getting closer
to the twilight zone
and in one knee
huh?
sonic youth's the empty page the song
sometimes... is the ride work better with or without a song?
every day
is of a different color
like your beautiful fotografías

monday monday
smells
½ bleach chlorine
and
½ soap softener
but both
halfs are a whole
very strong!!
I changed the working clothes
But the t-shirt
of now
Happy half
Bitter
the other one
A bifurcate
A matter of freaking bifurcated smell!
Dunno if I like it or not
the fotos are from March 30, 2005
Mission bay area, i just have had my camera for 4 months
I think I am just basically
Tonight
Pissed (La donna è mobile, for more see Giuseppe Verdi)
Yes
As
When you feel saying
Diciendo suave letra por letra
Fuck!
Like that ( i wonder if i can post bad words? i will see now...)
I think is the knee
Heating pad all day
Then de-frosted my dinner there
Ice freaking agrrrr therapy should read
And damn…
It sucks
So I am pissed (la donna e still freaking and more and more mobile)
And
The clothes…
After all
The clothes
Smell very nice
A tom waits without beer-sucks
Listening night
Tom waits
Most definitively fucking so…
What I need
And
Good night
Anyway
Here some boats
From a long ago when my little canon seemed like enough
a long ago is not
3.2 megapixels and ah sigh
I need a new camera too…
who could be like steve austin/lee majors
a bionic knee
and a bionic camera like...
complain complain complain
Monday night
hackers & painters, good & bad procrastination
notable programmer, writer, hacker, painter
author of
hackers & painters
writes this little essay on good and bad procrastination
don't miss it, i think is worth reading...
maybe you'll save it for... mmm, let's see... later?
monday morning ride
Hidden on the Monday morning ride
A mixture of melancholy of the gone lost weekend
Guilt for the leisure hours
Longing for the rest not quite improved…
With the assurance of a routine day
A week of word ahead
No more free time to wonder off
Otherwise hard to make by your own
Gratis are hours of the weekend
Freedom burns like in-jail
although
with you so far-away
Back to work
to the known life
A typical-coffee-early-like
Crisp-linen-white shirt clean
Taste
Again
to i miss...
& you know?
away from here
And some & many mysteries
will be unveiled or not…
“In these matters the only certainty is that nothing is certain.”
I need to concentrate and work
And I pretty much
Can’t…

hollywood bowl: cancelled! (for me at least)
i was supposed to be here today
hollywood bowl, los angeles, california
the line up was, is (please check their sites, amazing musicians all)
gotan project
zero7
josé gonzalez
sia
matthew herbert
and admirable DJ from Santa Monica's independent radio station KCRW (thanks to this radio station for existing!!) Jason Bentley will be the host
i can't believe i am missing zero7, gotta be really lazy...
i cancelled out of being a little out of it
still tired and knowing i have a tough week
catalog designing, short but every-day meetings
but now that i read the line-up again
i am jealous
i had a ticket and let it go...
this is how you do it at the bowl
eating & drinking in a set of 4 box seat
before and during the show (ah sigh)
yet 2 hrs car drive to Los Angeles
with Los Angeles traffic
and the idea of coming back home
around 2 am after the show
made it call it off...
here some of the participants of the past hollywood bowl adventures
and how they finish after the show...
san diego i stay here
to watch more kolibri
rest, laundromat, books
and maybe later tonight some more...
sunday domingo sonntag ;)

notes in a purse/snakes on a plane
I write them in pieces of paper at random times too
Randomness rules my purse space
I keep them sometimes, other many times they end in the closest trash can
My trash-can literature heh heh
On the value of education
Apparently I wasn’t paying much attention
Because was writing this
Why is education important?
To forget the doom of war of killing each other
& to preserve the good quality of a soul
To don’t, again, fall
and that’s why tonight, still worrying on miss-education
With another 2 nerd friends
I am going to a higher education class
To watch the very-awaited
Snakes on a plane
not that is that hard...
And I am sure is such an idiot Americanization
But hopefully laughable out of so much stupidity
What a freaking title!
here some of hype links
http://new.snakeswhomissedtheplane.com/
Called Ssssssssss
What could be worse than that…
and cheesyness, i might just stay at home and read my book
as usually do on friday nights
too many snakes now...
randomness jumping out of the purse to my little brain
hello! :)

different look
but so far seems to be working all right!
all right!
and most important
they still carry the helpful dictionary translator always contributing to my international happiness

recycling an old sonnet
sneak in quiet
quiet is here since
new further
working day
those plants
right at the edge
of a resting lane
the fast one aside
a little more
every day
greener and taller
where it should not
wonder if the cleaning truck
that dust off all freeways away
is going to get rid
-like an inevitable sword
of all of them
now
anyway
their presence: sparkle small green
with dust of white flowers
a lost wave of a lost hand
if ever once
they happen to not be
if not there

book reading
but not really paying attention to the plot
i was just watching the little empty worms
those spaces of light that are left between sentences and words
then magically realized
that the empty spaces were delineating
another form
those blanks were drawing... calling
the letters of a name
of a shape of what i think might be your soul
a letter T first appeared, then an H
later an I followed by the L, and to finish with an O…
and yes your name was there!
in the empty spaces of a novel
now accompanied by small image
that since this morning
i keep of your face in a little corner of my soul
close to where i storage small doses of hope

polar bear not quite at the pole

world famous san diego zoo
if the resolution is too bad
you can always check the original
at my youtube account, it is bad there too heh

summer little poem
nobody believed me
and the grill was outside
reality’s clear transparent but why not sidetrack
the coals are flushing brave
the friends the behinds
never the charcoals could understand
this late summer pain
an unknown face
same skylight
same sleepy cat
that is not mine
a soul to excavate
if not ‘cause of the similarity i know i were assembling
would not differentiate between comparison and déjà vu
these strange days
head ache now gone
was i really much happier those green belly days?
waiting for a well-known face
back then?
or the expectations to wait will bring happiness again?
so strangely superfluous your velocities and mine
wish had even slower time
like in mailed letters
like in mailed loves
the ones that haven’t happened yet
not all slow that is left is my own
slowness
dying slow, feeling into the soul
living waiting
living without hesitation
without love
without knowing your face
analyzing every second
while it is gone
and you an unknown face
unknown yet soul
so far across continents unheard of
the same window
the same cat, still not mine
and every second you more afar
seem to be as goes another night
another day

migraines
i had a migraine coming on
migraines
are one of the worst things that my body has ever been through
this one was a really hard one
i get migraines about every 3 months
but this one was probably one of the hardest ones i ever felt
i left the office in the middle of a puking festival on tuesday
and ended at the emergency room
thanks to perro-friend and my lovely non-speaking english aunt that were with me
not a good tuesday after all but medication did it for me this time
the doctor gave me two shots that made a whole difference though
a toradol double injection
followed by a 'being very high' sensation but with some relief
and another single shot of reglan to stop the nausea
this might be gross but hey! it is my gross blog
so i can write any gross stuff eh?
before the shots, i vomited about 20 times
10 at the not-very-clean-office bathroom
and at least another 10 at home
and well the photo below shows
how your heads feels while having one of these lovely
headaches called migraines
i wonder what people in the past used to do
when this kind of pain was going on and medication wasn't invented yet
mmm? guess that's why the mortality rate was so high
i really thought, the way i felt tuesday that that was it
but no! here i am again & still
oh well!

nausea
physically exhausted today
nauseous
strong headache
or the crazy head
many pending projects
i wish i could go home and rest
this blog my little break/escape
since thinking of work
(at work)
makes me even more nauseous
one of those days
that the feeling in the body
and the head
makes you want to…
away
sick and in a little bit (much?) of pain
specially the head

hard
in this freaking competitive world
to remember who you really are
hard to stop the competition
for looks, for fashion, for power, for money
even for love!
for all... competition and always the horrible cantata: the winner takes it all
every wants the best piece of everything
everybody willing to take but not to give back, specially with time
mmm? want want want they want
and
i just want some peace of mind
i don't need much money at all
and money and possessions mostly bring sorrows and suck up your time
i don't need a position or name or anything i feel, but to be alive and the "possibility of"
i feel i just a few friends around and some love but no rush
that is all, it is hard to remember that there is always more time than life...
but... how can you make people understand you are not greedy?
in a full of greed world?
mmm? maybe i should
read blindness again
saramago's lesson on the futility of it all
maybe everybody should read it
saramago's a genius of life and of detachment
after all he did win a nobel prize, huh?
another acquisition that doesn't, well, go
“In the end we discover the only condition for living is to die.”

mi tía margarita
to visit me for a couple of days
it seems that this is my summer of mexican relatives/visitors
nice!
she brought in her suitcases just FOOD, delicious typical mexican 'comida'
yes! barely some clothes, since she's planning to shop here
so here suitcase was sort of a mistery for the customs people
"So you said you brought tamales?", they asked her...
and "Cheese for your niece?" (that would me)
"and Calabaza?, since we dont' know how to tax that go ahead..."
the officer said, not wishing he could keep some of the food he smell
so straight from autlán, méxico
a shipment that is gold for me!
tortillas raspadas para tostadas, tamales, dulce de calabaza y quesos panela

sidewalks under construction
A man is building a little road
That road will serve many other men to walk on
He thinks of the benefit his work will bring
He won’t have anything else to pass his seconds every day
Since the road is already built
To know what their walking through will be beneficial to…
Some of my seconds are spent building something that I will use later
Some are spent in using those things I built before
I just have seconds spent
I guess that is life
Spending the seconds in a ‘proper’ way…
As I type
As you read…
As we breath
in and out...
With an unknown man that cares
For some of my seconds share
and for watching with me the crows cry
art such as... works also dignifies
