monday morning ride

There is some sort of commonly beauty
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

And where did the weekend go?
No more free time to wonder off

The routine dictates decisions
Otherwise hard to make by your own
Gratis are hours of the weekend
Freedom burns like in-jail
although
with you so far-away

Monday morning ride
Back to work
to the known life

Its certainty gives it
A typical-coffee-early-like
Crisp-linen-white shirt clean
Taste
Again
to i miss...
& you know?

A long flight metallic bird
away from here
And some & many mysteries
will be unveiled or not…

but as Pliny the Elder (23 AD - 79 AD) long ago said:
“In these matters the only certainty is that nothing is certain.”

A good working week ahead
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 keep on finding random “philosophical” notes in my purse

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

This one below was written during a conference at work
On the value of education
Apparently I wasn’t paying much attention
Because was writing this

Why is education important?
To tame the devils of your own
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

i truly enjoy art film more but tonight i just play dumb
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/

Well there was a movie also on snakes back on 1973
Called Ssssssssss
What could be worse than that…

well, and now that i read all those things on snakes
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! :)

is (not my google e-mail as you would think)
dictionary.com

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

i made it
new further
working day

the freeway
those plants
right at the edge
of a resting lane
the fast one aside

they grow
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

an enclosed image
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

But I'm coming home, I'm coming home to make it alright so dry your eyes
We think the same things at the same time, we just can't do anything about it

wallace & gromit

what could be better to finish a quiet saturday night
than an episode of old time favorites lovely wallace & gromit
