San Silvestre 2011

Tenía AÑOS de soñar con esto

y para prepararme estaba corriendo 35 km a la semana

(aunque por un momento en el km 8 mi fisiología olvidó todo lo relativo al entrenamiento)

Si bien es cierto que me rebasó Hulk, El Sorprendente Hombre Araña y el Equipo Geriátrico de Sexagenarios Alopécicos S.A. (una barbaridad de viejitos, venían con un ritmo trepidante como si acabaran de filmar Cocoon) dejé muy atrás a Papa Pitufo, al Payaso Gay del Espacio y a la Señora Gorda del French Poodle. Ja! Take that!

I hit the ground. But I hit the ground running.



Feliz año nuevo. Que este 2012 sea diferente y lleno de cosas buenas.

✯

2011

Adiós 2011

Sobreviví a ti

Perdí algunas cosas

gané muchas otras

Nuevas personas entraron a iluminar mi vida

y otras que eran parte de mi

salieron

Podrías pensar que con todas las cosas que pasaron

me cambiaste

pero no, 2011

sólo reafirmaste que en circunstancias extraordinarias (and omg yes, some circumstances this year were way way too crazy)

yo voy a ser siempre yo

el mismo canalla de siempre

el mismo corazón

la misma imaginación

el mismo optimismo

la misma inspiración

la misma búsqueda del detalle

la misma búsqueda de la felicidad

el mismo deseo de sonreír a través de tu sonrisa



Este 2012

I’m not holding anything back

aunque en realidad

nunca lo hice

✯

Lo más importante

—Qué te gustaría comer en la cena de año nuevo?

—Mmm... Nachos con queso

—Nachos con queso?

—Sí, y jugamos Wii los dos hasta las 12 de la noche!


Viendo el mundo a través de los ojos de mi hijo, recordé una vez más el valor de la sencillez y la simplicidad.

Sí Tigrito. No se trata de las cosas, se trata de estar juntos.

Insight - Depeche Mode

This is an insight
into my life
This is a strange flight
I'm taking
My true will
carries me along

This is a soul dance
embracing me
This is the first chance
to put things right
Moving on
guided by the light

And the spirit of love
is rising within me
Talking to you now
Telling you clearly
the fire still burns

Wisdom of ages
rush over me
Heighten my senses
Enlighten me
Lead me on
eternally

And the spirit of love
is rising within me
Talking to you now
Telling you clearly
the fire still burns

And the spirit of love
is rising within me
Talking to you now
Telling you clearly
the fire still burns

I'm talking to you now
The fire still burns
Whatever you do now
The world still turns

You gotta give love
You gotta give love
You gotta give love
Give love...

Nótese que "insight" no es "intuición" sino más bien "perspicacia" o "comprensión". Sí, algunos subtítulos están incorrectos... pero tuve que morir con este video porque los demás son en vivo y yo quería a toda costa el audio original. Bear with me...

Powerful beyond measure

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure

"Ima show you, how great I am!

Last night I cut the light off in my bedroom, hit the switch, and was in the bed before the room was dark.

Ima show you, how great I am!

Only last week, I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalized a brick, I'm so mean I make medicine sick.

Ima show you, how great I am!"



This kids gonna be the best kid in the world.

This kids gonna be somebody better than anybody I ever knew.



"Ima show you, how great I am!

I have wrestled with an alligator, I done tussled with a whale, I done handcuffed lightnin, thrown thunder in jail.

Ima show you, how great I am!

All you chumps are gonna bow when I whoop him, all of you. I know you got him, I know youve got him picked, but the man is in trouble, Ima show you how great I am!"



But somewhere along the line, you changed. You stopped being you.

You let people stick a finger in your face and tell you "you're no good", and when things got hard, you started looking for something to blame, like a big shadow.

Let me tell you something you already know: the world aint all sunshine and rainbows, it's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it.

You, me or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life; but it aint about how hard you hit, its about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much you can take and keep moving forward.

That's how winning is done.

Cause if youre willin to go through all the battling you gotta go through to get to where you wanna get, who's got the right to stop you?

I mean maybe some of you guys got something you never finished, something you really want to do, something you never said to somebody, something.

And you're told "no" even after you pay your dues, who's got the right to tell you that? Who? Nobody.

It's your right to listen to your gut, it aint nobodys right to say no, after you earn the right to be where you want to be and do what you want to do.

Now if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth, but you've gotta be willing to take the hits and not pointing fingers saying you aint where you wanna be because of him or her or anybody.

Cowards do that and that aint you!

Youre better than that!



Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure

It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.

We are all meant to shine, as children do.

It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same as we are liberated from our own fear.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.



"All you chumps are gonna bow when I whoop him, all of you. I know you got him, I know you've got him picked, but the man is in trouble,

Ima show you how great I am!"

Yet another wonderful day (night)

El año pasado fue el 17, ahora fue el 22. Gracias a mis registros (yo apunto absolutamente todo. De veras, no tienen idea) puedo comprobarles estadísticamente que conducir en Diciembre es bastante más peligroso que cualquier otro mes del año.

También puedo comprobar que Diciembre me resulta curiosamente más catastrófico que los demás meses. More on that later.

Pero lo más interesante es que el percance fue en la misma avenida, mismo semáforo, misma hora. Fue tan deja vu que hasta fue con un pickup del mismo color (rojo). La única variante fue el borracho, pero de ahí, todo igual.

(Hasta mis descalabros son fuera de lo común. Tengo razón en apuntar todo)

Sin embargo, mis reflejos agudísimos de gato, mi pericia al volante, mi sentido de la prevención y una manita de las Potencias Divinas Amparadoras de la Infancia (Sociedad Anónima) me conservaron en una pieza y el carro no volvió en grúa (a diferencia de la otra vez)

Pero en serio, tengan cuidado. En estas fechas la humanidad se pone más idiota de lo usual pero ustedes celebren seguramente (pero en el sentido de safely) (no del otro) (qué curioso) (por qué estaré abusando tanto de los paréntesis?)

Be safe!!

Born this way - Lady Gaga

It doesn't matter if you love him
or capital H-I-M
Just put your paws up
'cause you were born this way baby

My mama told me when I was young
We are all born superstars
She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on
in the glass of her boudoir

"There's nothing wrong with loving who you are" —she said
"'Cause he made you perfect, babe"
"So hold your head up girl and you'll go far,
Listen to me when I say"

I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause God makes no mistakes

Give yourself prudence and love your friends
Subway kid, rejoice your truth
In the religion of the insecure
I must be myself, respect my youth

A different lover is not a sin
Believe capital H-I-M (Hey hey hey)
I love my life I love this record and
Mi amore vole fe yah (Love needs faith)

I'm beautiful in my way

Just like heaven - The Cure

"Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick
the one that makes me scream" she said
"The one that makes me laugh" she said
and threw her arms around my neck

"Show me how you do it
and I promise you I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you"

Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face, I kissed her neck
and dreamed of all the different ways I had
to make her glow

"Why are you so far away?" she said
"Oh, won't you ever know that
I'm in love with you
that I'm in love with you"

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream

Just like a dream...

Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
and moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes

And found myself alone, alone
Alone above a raging sea
that stole the only girl I loved
and drowned her deep inside of me

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Just like heaven

Es como

estar en el limbo

Envenenado

I'm sorry

pero estoy en ese lugar donde no soy buena compañia

una fluctuación de humor y podría arruinarte el día

o la vida

Ya me corrieron de algunos parqueos, librerías y restaurantes pero fue mejor así (they were all assholes anyway) porque lo que yo haga con el veneno y los cristales helados que están circulando por mis venas

es sólo cosa mía

Fantasma - Gustavo Cerati

Mejor quedarse quieto
y esperar
Por favor perdona
mi actitud
En caída libre
no soy libre
Nubazón, nubazón
Pasará...

La hondonada nos dejó sin caricias
y varias noches sin poder
dormir

Fatalismo inútil
ignorar temores
Me muero por creer que es posible...
Seamos amigos
o la vida sentirá aún mas frío
y el fantasma no podrá
dormir...

- Por qué?

The Smurfs - Blue Moon

*The smurfs (well, Clumsy) sent the wrong ad to Patrick's boss, Odile.*

*Odile calls Patrick on the phone*

Patrick: Hey, Odile.

Odile: Patrick...

Patrick: Listen, listen. Before you fire me, I know that the ads that ran weren't the ads I sent.

But they're the ads I should have sent. The ads I almost did send.

But I didn't 'cause...

I second-guessed myself.

I gave you what I thought you wanted,
instead of what I thought was right.

But this is right.

It means something to me and...
I don't know,

I think it's gonna mean
something to others, too.

It's not just a moon, Odile, it's a blue moon.

"Once in a blue moon."

That means that there are
only a few moments in your life
when something truly memorable,
truly magical, happens to you.

And, if you hesitate, if you're afraid,
you might just miss it.

That's what that image means.

Don't let those blue moon moments
pass you by.

Odile: I will call you back to tell you if you're fired.

Believe

Believe in me

I believe in you

We might be wrong

but we can't be wrong forever

Estrella

Aun sigues buscando a quien te pueda hacer sentir lo que sentiste conmigo?

Buscas que te cambien la noche por el dia con una llamada?

Que hagan que el corazon te de vuelta con un beso mientras te abrazan fuerte para sentir tu cuerpo?

Buscas a quien te pueda amar de una forma tan intensa, que sin tocarse sientan que fisicamente se entregaron al punto de sentir el alma en paz y el corazon tan lleno de amor que no te cabe en el pecho?

I was not searching
the day I found YOU...

¤

Heart

Los presentimientos del corazón nunca se equivocan

El corazón siente

El corazón sabe

Busca mantenerte vivo a ti

y a las personas que quieres

El corazón te avisa cuando tenés que actuar

Tumultuosamente, sin dirección, sin planes



A veces quisera

abrir mi pecho y arrancarme el corazón

tirarlo muy muy lejos

y que se perdiera en el fondo del mar...

¤

Aún todavía más palabras sabias

Thinking

"Si realmente quisieras, ya lo hubieras hecho"

Me quedé pensando en tus palabras

Acaso me conoces más de lo que yo mismo me conozco?

A veces ocurre...

A veces pasa también que conocés a las personas más de lo que piensan pero clasificar y predecir su comportamiento no les hace mucha gracia.

(ese día estaba que echaba chispas y me mandó al carajo... me recuerdo y me hace sonreír, no puedo enojarme, no era conmigo que estaba batallando, sino con ella misma. Pero mejor me callo...)

Pero sí, tienes razón. Los actos dicen más que las palabras

No quiero llegar al punto de no retorno sin sentir eso. No sería justo para la otra persona ni para mi, ni para los que vendrían, ni para los que están alrededor.

Vengo de una familia disfuncional, repetir mi historia? No fucking way.

Me estoy deshaciendo en sinceridad. Es contraproducente, lo sé. Pero guardar las apariencias lo es más aún... todo siempre termina estallando... y de qué manera...

El instinto me avisó cuando lo admití y puse "me hace mucha falta, eso es todo". No pasó nada, pero por primera vez en muchos días, sentí que pude respirar.

Nebulosa de Orión con Nikon Coolpix P500

Ok, tratando de sacarle la última gota de nutrición a la popular serie de fotos de objetos celestes y en vista de que lo primero que Google les pone enfrente cuando preguntan por cómo sale la luna con la Coolpix P500 c'est moi (mi peso en Internet me asombra a veces... aunque no debería) aquí tienen la Nebulosa de Orión.

Debo de admitir que el zoom no estaba extendido en todo su poder pero eso no es más que una excusa para repetirlas... tal vez esta noche...

¤

Restless

Si no creyera en la sincronía
no estaría en guerra con el corazón
que ahora está inquieto
como si me estuviera diciendo algo...

Presentimientos...

Si esto es así
lo único que pido
es que cuando llegue el dia en que no pienses más en mi
pueda sentirlo...

Don't answer me - The Alan Parson Project

If you believe in the power magic
I can change your mind
and if you need to believe in someone
turn and look behind

When we were living in a dream world
clouds got in the way
We gave it up in a moment of madness
and threw it all away

Don't answer me
Don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me
Stay on your island
Don't let me in

Run away and hide from everyone
Can you change the things we've said and done?

If you believe in the power of magic
it's all a fantasy
So if you need to believe in someone
just pretend it's me

It ain't enough that we meet as strangers
I can't set you free
so will you turn your back forever
on what you mean to me?

Don't answer me
Don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me
Stay on your island
Don't let me in

Run away and hide from everyone
Can you change the things we've said and done?

Don't answer me
Don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me
Stay on your island
Don't let me in

Run away and hide from everyone

Don't answer me
Don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me
Stay on your island
Don't let me in

Can you change the things we've said and done?

Bridesmaids - I'm life and I'm going to bite you in the ass!

*Annie is watching "Cast Away" on TV*

Chuck Noland: Wilson!

*Chuck Noland is in the water watching how Wilson floats away*

Chuck Noland: Wilson! I'm sorry!... I'm sorry, Wilson.

Chuck Noland: Wilson, I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

Annie: *sniffling* Oh, no, Wilson.

Chuck Noland: Wilson!!!!

*knocking on door*

*Annie opens the door and finds Megan*

Megan: I'm coming in.

*Megan enters the house with a bunch of puppy dogs*

Megan: Let's go, let's go. And we're walking. Okay, we're walking. Heel. Heel! No pee. No! Not on the carpet! Okay, we're coming... We're coming in...

*She takes all the puppies to the back porch*

Megan: Everybody is in and having fun. We're having fun. And heel! We're heeling. Heel!

Annie: How many of those did you take?

Megan: I took nine. I took nine. Yeah, I did slightly over-commit to the whole dog thing. It turns out, I'm probably more comfortable with six. It's a lot... That's a lot of energy to deal with... but you wouldn't know anything about that, because you haven't been returning my calls.

Annie: And say what, Megan? Say, "Hi, I can't get off the couch, I got fired from my job. I got kicked out of my apartment, I can't pay any of my bills, my car is a piece of shit, I don't have any friends, the last time I..."

Megan: You know what I find interesting about that, Annie? It's interesting to me that you have absolutely no friends. You know why it's interesting? Here's a friend standing directly in front of you, trying to talk to you. And you choose to talk about the fact that you don't have any friends.

Annie: You know what I mean.

Megan: No, I don't think you want any help. I think you want to have a little pity party.

*Megan hits Annie*

Annie: Ow! That's not true.

Megan: I think Annie wants a little pity party.

*Megan pushes Annie forcefully*

Megan: You're an asshole, Annie!

Annie: Oh, my God. What are you doing?

Megan: You're an asshole. I'm life. is life bothering you?

*Megan pushes Annie again*

Annie: Yes! What are you doing?

Megan: I'm life, Annie. I'm life, Annie. You have got to fight back on life.

Annie: Megan!

Megan: You better learn to fight.

*Megan hits Annie several times*

Annie: Megan!

Megan: I'm life and I'm going to bite you in the ass!

*well, Megan bites Annie in the butt*

Annie: *screaming* OWW!!! MEGAN!!

Megan: It's not me. I'm your life. Turn over!

Annie: My God!

*now Megan is on top of Annie, fighting in the couch*

Megan: I'm trying to get you to fight for your shitty life, and you won't do it! You just won't do it.

Annie: Stop it.

Megan: You stop slapping yourself. Stop slapping yourself. I'm your life, Annie. I'm your shitty...

*Annie slaps Megan hard in the face*

Megan: *grunts* OW!

*the fight stops*

Annie: I'm sorry.

Megan: Nice hit. All right. I'm glad to see you've got a little bit of spark in you. I knew that Annie was in there somewhere. I think... I think you're ready now to hear a little story about a girl. A girl named Megan. A girl named Megan that didn't have a very good time in high school. I'm referring to myself when I say "Megan." It's me, Megan.

Annie: Yeah, I got that.

Megan: I know you look at me now and think, "Boy, she must have breezed through high school." Not the case, Annie. No, *points to herself* this was not easy going up and down the halls. Okay? They used to try to blow me up. They threw firecrackers at my head. Firecrackers. I mean literally. I'm not saying that figuratively. I got firecrackers thrown at my head. They called me a freak.

Do you think I let that break me? Do you think I went home to my mommy, crying, "I don't have any friends. Megan doesn't have any friends" No, I did not. You know what I did?

I pulled myself up, I studied really hard.

I read every book in the library. And now? I work for the government. I have the highest possible security clearance. Don't repeat that!

Annie: I won't.

Megan: I can't protect you. I know where all the nukes are and I know the codes.

Annie: I won't say anything.

Megan: You would be amazed. A lot of shopping malls. Don't repeat that!

Annie: I won't.

Megan: I have six houses. I bought an 18-wheeler a couple of months ago just because I could.

Okay, you lost Lillian. You got another best friend sitting right in front of you, if you would notice. Huh?

Now, you got to stop feeling sorry for yourself. Okay, 'cause I do not associate with people that blame the world for their problems.

'Cause you're your problem, Annie. And you're also your solution.

Right? I mean, that's... You get that?

Annie: I just miss her, I guess.

Megan: Yeah, I know you do. I know you do.

All right, come on. Bring it in.

*They hug*

Megan: There's the Annie... There's the Annie I knew was there, okay? All right. Man, you have got to wash your hair.

Annie: I'm sorry.

Megan: You've got to wash that hair.

Viejas peleando

Esta es una de esas cosas... que te hacen sentir mejor después de verlas. Y lo mejor de todo es que termina como deberían terminar todo siempre: con un abrazo (vi mucho Full House de chiquito)

Ya sé lo que estás pensando, cómo es que a un tipo duro y machote como yo le gustan este tipo de películas? Pues... sí, confieso mi secreto y qué: me fascinan las comedias romanticas, los abrazos, los besos, los diálogos y hablar de nuestros sentimientos mientras tomamos cocoa caliente metidos entre las chamarras.

Pero... y a quién no?

I don't know you anymore - Savage Garden

I would like to visit you for a while
Get away and out of this city
Maybe I shouldn't have called
but someone had to be the first to break

We can go sit on your back porch, relax
Talk about anything, it don't matter
I'll be courageous if you can pretend
that you've forgiven me

'Cause I don't know you anymore
I don't recognize this place
The picture frames have changed and so has your name

We don't talk much anymore
We keep running from the pain
but what I wouldn't give to see your face again

Springtime in the city
Always such relief from the winter freeze
The snow was more lonely than cold
if you know what I mean

Everyone's got an agenda, don't stop
Keep that chin up, you'll be all right
Can you believe what a year it's been
Are you still the same?
Has your opinion changed?

'Cause I don't know you anymore
I don't recognize this place
The picture frames have changed and so has your name

We don't talk much anymore
We keep running from these sentences
But what I wouldn't give to see your face again

I know I let you down
again and again
I know I never really treated you right
I've paid the price
I'm still paying for it every day

So maybe I shouldn't have called
Was it too soon to tell?
Oh what the hell, it doesn't really matter
How do you redefine something that never really had a name?
Has your opinion changed?

'Cause I don't know you anymore
I don't recognize this place
The picture frames have changed and so has your name

We don't talk much anymore
We keep running from the pain
But what I wouldn't give to see your face again

I see your face
I see your face

You are the pilot of your life

Your life is in your control, no one —and I mean no one —can take that from you.

You have the power to fly the plane of your life, you are the one and only pilot.

Who you are is who you wanna be.

The life you are living is the life you want. If it's not, you would change it, right?

It’s all about taking action in your life and taking risks. Never let fear inside your cockpit so that it may pilot your life.

A life of fear is an unlived life. Live your life and every single day as if it was your very last.

Take some risks in your life now and then. Let go of fear and doubt and just do it, do it for yourself!!!

Fulfill your life with the time that you are given on this earth... it is very short when you really think about it. There is already not enough time in the day to do the normal things that we do.

So there is even less time to make our dreams come true. So you have to make the time and just go for it —walk into it blindly and see what happens.

Good or bad, at least you could say that you tried to make a dream come true instead of always wondering... WHAT IF!!!

Waiting for the night - Depeche Mode

I'm waiting for the night to fall
I know that it will save us all
when everything's dark
keeps us from the stark
reality

I'm waiting for the night to fall
when everything is bearable
and there in the still
all that you feel
is tranquillity

There is a star in the sky
guiding my way with its light
and in the glow of the moon
know my deliverance will come soon

I'm waiting for the night to fall
I know that it will save us all
when everything's dark
keeps us from the stark
reality

I'm waiting for the night to fall
when everything is bearable
and there in the still
all that you feel
is tranquillity

There is a sound in the calm
Someone is coming to harm
I press my hands to my ears
It's easier here just to forget fear

And when I squinted
the world seemed rose-tinted
and angels appeared to descend

To my surprise
with half-closed eyes
things looked even better
than when they were opened...

Been waiting for the night to fall
I knew that it would save us all
now everything's dark
keeps us from the stark
reality

Been waiting for the night to fall
now everything is bearable
and here in the still
all that you feel
is tranquillity

There is a star in the sky
guiding my way with its light
and in the glow of the moon
know my deliverance will come soon

The Empire Strikes Back - Carbon freeze

*Chewbacca is carrying a broken C3PO on his back*

C3PO: If only you'd attached my legs, I wouldn't be in this ridiculous position. Now remember, Chewbacca, you have a responsibility for me, so don't do anything foolish.

Han: What's going on, buddy?

Lando: You're being put into carbon freeze.

Bobba Fett: What if he doesn't survive? He's worth a lot to me.

Darth Vader: The Empire will compensate you if he dies. Put him in.

Chewbacca: Rrrah!

*Chewbacca fights the Stormtroopers to save Han Solo*

Chewbacca: Rrrah! Rrrah!

Han: Stop, Chewie, stop, stop!

Han: Hey! Hey! Listen to me, Chewie. This won't help me.

*Chewbacca listens to Han and calms down. He then gets handcuffed*

Han: Hey, save your strength. There will be another time. The princess... You have to take care of her. Do you hear me? Huh?

Chewbacca: Gahhh...

*Han and Princess Leia look at each other and then kiss*

*Han is taken forcefully to the freezing chamber*

Princess Leia: I love you.

Han: I know.

*Han descends into the chamber and is frozen*

Chewbacca: Gahhh!

C3PO: What's going on? Turn around! Chewbacca, I can't see.

Chewbacca: Gahhh.

*Han is taken out*

C3PO: Oh, they've encased him in carbonite. He should be quite well-protected, if he survived the freezing process, that is.

Darth Vader: Well, Calrissian, did he survive?

Lando: Yes, he's alive… and in perfect hibernation.

Darth Vader: He's all yours, bounty hunter. Reset the chamber for Skywalker.

General: Skywalker has just landed, lord.

Darth Vader: Good. See to it that he finds his way in here. Calrissian, take the princess and the Wookiee to my ship.

Lando: You said they'd be left in the city under my supervision.

Darth Vader: I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further.

En remolinos - Soda Stereo

Déjame vivir este sueño
el mejor que he tenido

Una flor
una flor
otra flor

Un maestro
una causa
un efecto

Quién sabrá el valor de tus deseos
quien sabrá

Gira el sol
gira el mundo
gira Dios

Energía
misteriosa
resplandor

Al soltar mi cuerpo en remolinos
resplandor

Otra flor

Paraíso
zona pura
perfección

Florecer mirándote a los ojos
perfección
Florecer mirándote a los ojos
perfección

Florecer los dos
florecer
Florecer los dos
florecer

Florecer...

What's the matter mommy?

Los niños son lindos

Los niños son inocentes

Los niños son tiernos

Los niños son dulces

Los niños son la alegría del hogar

Los niños son a veces un poquito traviesos...

The Three Musketeers

*Los malos tienen a la chica y los 3 Mosqueteros están en una posición desesperada: O se rinden o la chica muere*

D'Artagnan: We can not escape. We can not fight them.

Athos: D'Artagnan

D'Artagnan: What?

Athos: Think you have everything and lost?

D'Artagnan: And if she dies?

Athos: Life with a woman or future with friends...

D'Artagnan: What would you do in my place?

Athos: I prefer to sacrifice the hard choices. The earth, the king, the country. You know what I learned, boy? Sacrifices and hard choices do not keep you warm at night.

Life is too short and very long to pass without someone with you. Do not become someone like me. Choose a woman.

Fight for love, D'Artagnan.

France will take care of itself.

Si Disney despertase - Fito Páez

Los cines ya no están
Rosemary, mi amor
hoy vuelvo a la ciudad
a encontrármelos
donde volcó el Poseidón
donde escapó Papillón
Woody tenía razón
Si Disney despertase...

El tiempo es la ilusión
que no vuelve más
el tiempo es la ilusión
en cualquier lugar
Kubrick fue Monumental
El Cairo fue nuestra city Imperial
Broadway, Heraldo, Radar
Si Disney despertase...

Cae mi caleidoscopio steadycam
quién te hará reir
quién te hará llorar

Cae mi caleidoscopio steadycam
quién te hará reir
quién te hará llorar

Si Disney despertase...
Si Walt se anima, se animase..
Si Disney despertase...

al fin...

Si Disney despertase...

Lo mejor del cine
es que los finales son felices

(Excepto en esos films trágicos, pero para qué quiere uno ir a ver su propia vida proyectada? Mejor comamos poporopos sin salir de casa...)

Dulce rutina

If you do something every day, you tend to fall into a routine, and routine has a bad reputation.

It’s true that novelty and challenge bring happiness, and that people who break their routines, try new things, and go new places are happier, but I think that some routine activities also bring happiness. The pleasure of doing the same thing, in the same way, every day, shouldn’t be overlooked. By re-framing, you can find happiness in activities like doing dishes or sweeping the floor, as well as your beloved morning coffee-and-newspaper.

The things you do every day take on a certain beauty, and provide a kind of invisible architecture to daily life.

Lisa - Gustavo Cerati

Lisa tiene un amor de ultramar
brilla en la oscuridad
Su sabor a la primera vez
le hace volver a aprender...

Dom, dom, dom
Dom, dom, dom

...a respirar

Siempre fue divertido correr
dejar a este mundo detrás
Hoy la atmósfera comprime sus pies
ella es mi chica lunar...

Dom, dom, dom
Dom, dom, dom

...chica lunar

Mantarraya, enseñáme más
tu habilidad de nadar
Ella es mi espejo y refleja lo que soy
Suele ser duro aprender...

Dom, dom, dom
Dom, dom, dom

...a respirar

Cuando me hundo en el mar
de la fertilidad
un silencio visual
es la fauna abisal
reflejando el color del sol

Nena

Cargué la pañalera

Le di papitas fritas

Hice que se riera para las fotos

Estaba llorando por su pelota

La cargué, me abrazó, hablamos

(quién sabe qué me dijo, me estaba hablando en su jerigonza de bebé)

Al final te devolví a tu nena

y sí

tenías razón

Siempre tuviste razón

Sometimes

I know
sometimes I write
for someone that doesn't read anymore
I know

But maybe
it's better that way

Tus derechos

A veces tenemos esta loca idea de que nos portamos "mal" y nos sentimos culpables cuando ejercitamos nuestros derechos.

Sin embargo, recuerda que tienes derechos:

1. El derecho a decir "no".

2. El derecho a cambiar de opinión.

3. El derecho de hacer menos de lo que es humanamente posible.

4. El derecho a sentir tus emociones.

5. El derecho a expresar tus emociones.

6. El derecho a decir qué es lo que necesitas.

7. El derecho a cuidar de ti primero.

8. El derecho a creer en lo que crees.

9. El derecho a ser imperfecto.

10. El derecho a pasar tiempo a solas.

Es bueno para ti usar estos derechos, a largo plazo vas a ser más feliz.

Cambia tu idea de lo que es "malo" y empieza a disfrutar tu vida...

Encarnación - Nacho Libre

When the fantasy has ended
and all the children are gone
something good inside me
helps me to carry on

I ate some bugs
I ate some grass
I used my hand
to wipe my tears

To kiss your mouth
I break my vow
No no no no no
no way José
unless you want to
then we break our vows together

Encarnación!
Encarnacio-o-o-on!
Encarnación!
Didudidududuli!!!
Encarnacio-o-o-on!

Let's break our vows together...

Bridesmaids - Megan

Lillian: And this is Dougie's sister, Megan.

Megan: Hey.

Annie: Hi.

Lillian: My grandma is not supposed to have wine... I'll be right back.

Annie: Hey. How is it going?

Megan: It's going great, it's going great. I'm on the mend. You know, I just got some pins in my legs, believe it or not, pins in my legs. I can still do this. Right?

*makes a little weird dance*

Megan: I fell off a cruise ship, but I'm back.

Annie: Oh, shit.

Megan: Yeah, "Oh, shit." Yeah, "Oh, shit." Took a hard, hard, violent fall. Kind of pinballed down. Hit a lot of railings, broke a lot of shit. I'm not going to say I survived, I'm going to say I thrived. I met a dolphin down there. And I swear to God, that dolphin looked not at me, but into my soul, into my goddamn soul, Annie. And he said, "I'm saving you, Megan." ... not with his mouth, but he said it... I'm assuming, telepathically. We had a connection that I don't even know if I can... oh Jesus…

*makes garbled sounds, realizing she's talking too much*

Megan: Hey, shut my mouth. Look at... unbelievable.

*to a black man standing next to Annie*

Megan: You must be Annie's fella. I'm Megan. It's a pleasure.

Annie: He's not... I'm not... He's not... I'm not with him.

Megan: Sorry. All right. I'm glad he's single, because I'm going to climb that like a tree.

* * *

Megan es lo más cool sobre la faz de la tierra. Está loca (en realidad todas las mujeres en esa película lo están) es despistada y cuando está emocionada conversando repite dos veces algunas frases. (Es curioso cómo al transcribir los diálogos te vas familiarizando con los personajes y los vas comprendiendo). Todos sus intervenciones en la película son... anormales y es fascinante, la verdad. Yo quiero tener una amiga así.
