Vamos a matar, Compañeros

Levantando en aire los sombreros
Vamos a matar, vamos a matar, compañeros

Pintaremos de rojo sol y cielos
Vamos a matar, vamos a matar, compañeros

Hay que ganar muriendo, pistoleros
Vamos a matar, vamos a matar, compañeros

Hay que morir venciendo, guerrilleros
Vamos a matar, vamos a matar, compañeros

Luchando con el hambre, sin dineros
Vamos a matar, vamos a matar, compañeros

Estudiantes, rebeldes, bandoleros
Vamos a matar, vamos a matar, compañeros

Hermanos somos, reyes y obreros
Vamos a matar, vamos a matar, compañeros

By Ennio Morricone

My indignation

"Got my indignation but I'm pure in my thoughts...I'm alive..."

- Eddie Vedder from Guaranteed

Idas sommarvisa

Du ska inte tro det blir sommar,
ifall inte nån sätter fart
på sommarn och gör lite somrigt,
då kommer blommorna snart,
Jag gör så att blommorna blommar,
jag gör hela kohagen grön,
och nu så har sommaren kommit,
för jag har just tagit bort snön.

Jag gör mycket vatten i bäcken,
så där det hoppar och far.
Jag gör fullt med svalor som flyger
och myggor som svalorna tar.
Jag gör löven nya på träden
och små fågelbon här och där.
Jag gör himlen vacker om kvällen,
för jag gör den alldeles skär.

Och smultron det gör jag åt barna,
för det tycker jag dom kan få,
och andra små roliga saker
som passar när barna är små.
Och jag gör så roliga ställen,
där barna kan springa omkring,
då blir barna fulla med sommar
och bena blir fulla med spring.

Words by Astrid Lindgren

I'm back!

Happy birthday my old man

Change

"The significance of the moth is change. Caterpillar into chrysalis or pupa. From thence into beauty..."

- Dr. Haniball Lecter

Associations

Home to me is not a house

Filled with family faces; 

Home is where I slide in free

By rounding all the bases. 

A tie to me is not

Clothing like a hat;

It means the game is even up

And I wish I were at bat.

Words by Eve Merriam, painting by Leroy Neiman.

The first day

Today was the first day that I took my daughter to the daycare and left her there. Leaving the major piece of your heart and the consequent sadness on her side is without the doubt the hardest part. It is a major milestone in her life now that she starts her social life ON HER OWN and starts to interact with other people. At the same time, she starts to learn a new language (among others) - another step in her evolution.

Man how time flies!

If only I could freeze the time to this moment...

She is growing up by minutes and I am getting older...and that is kind of sad but unfortunately, (and I hate to sound so typical) that's life.

5 years again!

Five years past the day that I finished at CTH -that day!- and yet I find myself at CTH again by pure coincidence. Good thing that little by little, not only I don't have some of those nostalgic feelings but also I feel quite happy to have moved on or rather moved 'out'.

One should always look forward, looking back, however useful every once in a while, only reduces the pace but it is not constructive.

Such a strange feeling

Almost ten years ago, I was living in an otherwise empty student room with one window facing the hotel that I am staying in now. Since I did not have a computer at home, I used to come all the way to this hotel to use the Yahoo! messenger on the PC in the lobby of the hotel to chat with one special one for hours past midnight.

Ahh...those days...those early days that surprisingly do not seem so far away now...if I only knew what I know now...
