"Last cigarettes all you can get, turning your orbit around"


About Roberto Bolaño's "Dance Card"
Ideas. Scenes. One after the other, one after another. Before and After... Jodorowsky. He idealized Jodorowsky. He left Jodorowsky, because really, Jodorowsky had never been with him. He had never understood him. He never cared.

"But the fathers must be killed; poets are born orphans". Chilean poets are born orphans. Neruda. Neruda yes. Neruda no. Neruda and Roberto Bolaño's love-hate relationship. Neruda and other poets. Neruda and all his friends, or maybe Neruda and all his non friends. Neruda as Death in "Death and all his friends".

Dance Card: "The man in charged was a communist factory worker, chubby and perplexed, but willing to fight". Aren't we all him? Shouldn't we all be him? Willing to fight. Fight for conviction, fight for ideas made reality, fight for ourselves. Selfishness? Selfishness. "Were the Chileans of my generation brave? Yes, they were" "Is it possible to die of sadness? Yes, it is".

It is.

"During a period of my life, I used to see Adolf Hitler in the corridor of my house. At first I thought it was the devil. After 2 weeks Hitler disappeard and I was expecting him to be replaced by Stalin. But Stalin didn't show. It was Neruda..."


Word of the day: PILLAGE

"Everyone's just a burning sun (*)"

"Tianguis de la Ciencia"

Como podrán ver, México es muy político. Polémico. Más bien político-polémico. Y como todo, con sus ventajas, desventajas, y consecuencias. But we all love it here! Aunque has vivido toda la vida en este país, es increíble la forma en la que se manejan las cosas. No puedes creer. Habiendo vivido toda tu vida aquí, no lo puedes creer. Es el país de las paradojas, de las metáforas del "dices una cosa, cuando en verdad significa otra" y tienes que saber interpretar. El país del doble sentido, de los albures, del sobrevive el más fuerte...

"And if you promise to stay conscious I will try and do the same"

Today I went to the "Tianguis de la Ciencia" at CU (ciudad universitaria: the local university's campus) and it was AMAZING! I loooove those kind of things! Expect some pictures soon, soon soon :). I've realized some things about myself over this couple of weeks:

1. I loooooove to write on books, using a big bright highlighter and HIGHLIGHT! (not too much though, just the right amount).
2. I looooooove my white scientific calculator just for the fact that it makes me feel so powerful when calculating some kick-ass numbers like the distance from the Earth to the Sun, from Venus to the Moon, the possible center of the Earth, distance between particles, the weight of Pluto...
3. I looooooove my car (black Rubicon Jeep).
4. I looooooove sitting alone in a cafe working on my harmony homework.

Ok, short posts are cute and sweet ha...

"If I have what you need, I'm never gonna give it to you, I'm never gonna give it to you"


"My loyalty, is to the East"
I've been wondering lately about what to blog... and decided to talk about what I've been recently hearing (and absolutely loooooooving); Owen Paletts' album "Heartland". Totally original! Totally different! Totally could work as a symphony for a whole orchestra!! "My loyalty, is to the East" was quoted from one of the album's songs, and it totally (yes, I've been using the word totally a lot in this post) makes sense to me becaaaause... strange as it seems, I'm into Eastern men. Not Eastern as you know, Chinese ha, but as Aladdin or something!! Yes :) those are my kind of guys, the arabic kind of looking guys, with big dark round eyes with plenty of eyelashes, naturally tanned skin, skinny but strong... En fin, qué se le va a hacer???

"We get along so much better than you and your boyfriend, you know it"

"Like slides being changed in a projector, one day, without the slightlest warning, Tony Takitani fell in love..."

I totally love when this happens. When the tough man, the "I don't need anyone" man, the independent man, the focused man, falls in love. And falls hard and good! When the guy falls for the girl. "He was a boy, she was a girl, can't I make it more obvious?" ha... I love it when the guy is completely crazy about the girl, so much that his friends make jokes about it, so much that the girl can't possibly notice. But in the other hand.... its also nice to have an appealing confident one, that just walks right to you and says: "Hello, my name is _______, I think you're beautiful". Why not both?? Yes, sometimes you can actually have everything.

"Don't tell me shit, I die if I want to"
















I've always wanted a boyfriend that:
Has a leather jacket and a motorcycle.
Has a square jaw.
Draws cool doodles in the back of his notebooks.
Loves to take pretty pictures of me.
Plays the guitar, and let us sing together.
Tries to understand why I like the music I like
Carries me on his shoulders.
Plays soccer, so I can go and see his games.


I love the way she fills her clothes
I love the freckles on her nose
I love the way she plays it cool
I think that she is beautiful

So sentimental, not sentimental no
Romantic not disgusting yet
Darling, I'm down and lonely when with the fortunate only
I've been looking for something else

I love the way she bites her lip
I love the way she shakes her hips
I love the way she makes me drool
I think that she is beautiful


*Oh yeah, and btw... 100th post!*

"She's got you high and you don't even know it"

-I'm one of those people who try to write stories-

I'm one of those people who try to write stories. Stories about my own life, the story of my life. Sometimes it's a tragedy, sometimes it's a comedy, sometimes it is just pure drama, sometimes it is an opera, sometimes I'm part of the Greek chorus that highlights the important events and gives them a different meaning. Sometimes I'm all alone with a monolog. Sometimes I'm just me contemplating the audience, contemplating you.

"Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money"


WE ALL BELONG TO ONE, EVERY GIRL BELONGS TO ONE, WE ARE ALL LIKE A PACK OF WOLVES...
