Another generation!

Many times we compare generations, always said that the generations now living much better than before, there's no doubt and not discussed, but I am going to refer this case to me that if he is right to be special.

A generation that has experienced very large changes both in technology, including family, educational, historical ... etc. They are the generation between 30 and 40 years or so.

"They lived a war, with its consequences of hunger and misery for many years.
"They met the first cars.
"For a long time had no running water at home.
-Cook with wood.
"They rationed food.
-The phone him home soon.
"The radio has grown with them and later met the first televisions.
"At school knew the real punishment.
-the church was very present in their lives.
"The dating, marrying, having children, they lived it differently.
"Freedom of expression and the vote not tasted in a long time
All these features makes them unique ... they are those that have experienced the most dramatic changes.
Now, we can make more powerful cars, plasma TVs, next-generation mobile phones ... etc, but this generation invented it and lived and are living in a more direct transformation of it. Nigun another generation will live those changes, because the cars can fly ... but the car they saw him born, it will improve the phones ... but the first, even with cable, it took them, but they can not communicate by letter to meet and manage internet (through the phone cord that we have it) of having to go to get firewood to cook with a cooking hob with smart ... and so many things.
They are a generation fighter and strong, they let us come to an easier road, we, the children, we had television from the beginning, another education, without almost repressions in school, without wood kitchen, telephone and tap water . Everything was easier. The next generation will have even easier and more comfortable life. Not much different from ours, because everything is improving and is exceeded, but have not lived the "nothing to everything" as that. This generation will not be repeated in life.

It was unique, is unique, will be unique

Something new and different

For days I have and enjoy a new life, living on a desert island, but I lack nothing. There are people around me (so it is not as deserted), I have food and of course the internet.

It's a very peculiar island where the inhabitants are temporary, nobody stays there for an unlimited time, is a temporary island. The reception natives do when you arrive is very cozy because they remind you with many details and many hours throughout the day (or night) that are new, but all done very nicely, from the honey.

When I recommended it I knew I would not like it much. It has a large palm tree in the center and there meets everyone who lives on the island. Phones and emails are exchanged, they eat, drink, smoke, gossip, read, and resting a lot more.

Besides this palm is enclosed places where most people still in those sites spend a lot of time and people are very diverse.
Some did not talk to anyone, others too and some people even do it in another language. It's like a great tower of Babel. We all have the same mission in those places closed, so we share similar concerns and interests. I feel very "Agustito" (as I would say that ...), in these small caves on the island, which although not receive direct sunlight you feel very wrapped by the warmth.

In such small enclosures is a person who seems to have more power than anyone and that it must be the case. Sometimes I think some of these people have no desire to be there on that island, probably would like to enjoy the pleasures of it, but outside the closed areas, or lying in a hammock and soak up the sun, because they talk a lot and say nothing. However others will speak and you convey enthusiasm and optimism to keep you living in it.
The food never fails, the island has dishes that never thought she would try. Everything looks tastier and now and all. In addition to the resources of the island, there are other ways to source and have food for a long time, (but that is confidential, I can not reveal). MRCDN.

I dedicate my free time to stroll around the island, sometimes I catch a boat and around the vicinity to investigate new sites. I've known people who've been living there a long time and that you kindly provide guidance on how to survive in the best way in this unique island.

And that is my life now ... my island, my treasure.

(Thoughts of a college student in his early days.)

I love you as a friend

This sentence from today's post comes from the film "Vincere" I will not talk about it because even I have seen, but I read the synopsis and will of the relationship between the protagonist and two girls. It appears that the boy is surprised when one of them he says that he just wants a friend.

I write today's post has something to do with that movie, but she left after he had read a review on the net saying

"Girls of the world, we implore you: Do not use the love you as a friend".

This comment is already the height of ignorance, precisely because women when we say that, we mean that, "there are no second or disingenuous.

It's a phrase that comes straight and true to say there is no feeling of any kind (no is no, no and yes but not beating around the bush) therefore reject anything that is not only a friendship.

I prefer this honestly to the omission of words used by men and that deep down they're thinking

"Not if I only love you until I find another" too ...
"Well, you'll satisfy my needs as physiological –
They (with very few exceptions), they say nothing and put up with some women because they are cowards.

What happens is that if you like you know they have nothing to do and not make the idea of not having you as something more. Men can not understand that everyone can be a perfect friend of someone who attracts us at all.

I said.

...

Every day we have more clear, not everything is as it seems and certainly depends on how you look at, the same situation as seen by several people can be seen from several points of view, it is not equal for some than for others.

This can have its advantages and disadvantages, so first is good because there are differing opinions, but not so good when you have to agree.

What is good and what is wrong, it's right or wrong, who is right??.

Life is like an optical illusion, I'm writing a game out of microsiervos thereof, is very nice, you should locate circles. First do not see anything, but when you concentrate a little go around everywhere and impossible to miss everyone there, not just few.

Now if that can verify the above, there is one thing but you can see another what if?

Before and now

A few days ago walking around a city I had the opportunity to see the construction of a church. It is not very common these days, and not why I came to my mind the book "The Pillars of the Earth", the bestseller by Ken Follet which raged some years ago.

Nothing to see the construction of this church I saw a cathedral, but compare what is that now that more and more technology means we do things differently, (less beautiful, she would call me).



In the field of architecture I like cathedrals, artistically speaking the majestic and see through its pillars, columns, arches, windows and other elements convey the work of the years that have been slow to do them. I've been enjoying some live, the de Burgos, Bilbao, Zaragoza, Toledo, Teruel, Granada, Santiago de Compostela, Sevilla ... etc and some from abroad.

I think that right now could not build a masterpiece like those that were so common to centuries ago and in fact has not done any in modern times, even a church of those features that I love.
Neither cathedrals or churches or homes or major buildings, no parks or gardens.

First, do not do it because now there is another artistic movement that is modern architecture and is characterized by the simplification of forms, lack of ornaments and the renunciation of the classical forms, steel and reinforced concrete materials are main. So these days there is no place for what seems to me "nice."


I like the modern ... but does not impress me.

My dear 80's

A few days ago ended a tv program reminiscent of years past decades. He won the 80's, (the best). (Africa goes for you ...)

In late 80s I was 20, I lived so intensely that time because he was already an age. It is not the same catch 80 with 5 or 10 years because at that age things are seen with different eyes.

Circulate on the Internet countless references to these years. I'm not going to be less and I want to also my great moments in this decade.


On the topic of music, among my favorites were the group Mecano, Miguel Bose, Jose Luis Perales, Juan Pardo (I think this was influenced by my mother, hehe, but I knew them all) Olé olé, Miguel Ríos (with your welcome), Vangelis, Mike Oldfield, Jean Michel Jarre.

There are few more, but no question of them all ...
In the cinema section were true gems of art, Officer and a Gentleman, Top Gun, Out of Africa, Karate Kid, Gremlins, The Neverending Story, Poltergeist, ET, Airplane, Cinema Paradiso (which already dedicated a post recently), Back to the Future, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Flashdance, Police Academy, The Princess Bride ... and waaaaay more ..!

... But these, whether by the soundtrack or the history I have in my favorites.

On TV we see "V", The A-Team, Knight Rider, live feeling, Fame, The House on the Prairie, The Golden Girls, Dallas, Falcon Crest, Dynasty, Miami Vice, The Thorn Birds (this my favorite was and still is, hehe) and of course, remember the first telenovela that arrived in Spain, Glass.

As a Spanish series that I liked only remember gold rings and Blue Summer contest and more marked as the mythical 1,2,3 respond again.
The style of that decade impacted by the colors, accessories and hairstyles.

The fashion of the '80s is perhaps one of the most memorable. The volume, the colors and exuberances were what marked it.

Double-breasted jackets with huge shoulder pads, pants that fastened with a strip under the top tube foot and the waist, big belts, heaters ... (and I, with headbands like an Indian).

We had no phones and we understood ... and we were not there blogs but we wrote everything in newspapers, but if we did not triunfitos idols to admire.

That and much more ... WERE THE EIGHTY !!!!!!!

Tetris

Tetris, the addictive video game that arrived from the USSR.

The popular electronic puzzle was created 25 years ago by Russian engineer Alexei Pajitnov. It has sold 70 million copies and has influenced art and music.
New York Times - Madrid - 02/06/2009.

Tetris has been one of my favorite games. I met him about ten years ago, after the Nintendo Game Boy bring him to Spain. It would be back in 98 or so.

Every day I was beating my own record and also challenged others to beat.
(which nobody could, hehe).

I have tried in all formats, gameboy, key chain, in PC and Sega Mega Drive.


On paper perhaps not very attractive, but the screen is a simple almost irresistible challenge.
And there are the numbers: when all their versions, Tetris has sold over 70 million copies worldwide, has influenced the architecture, art and music, also has received several Guinness record and is often voted one of the best video games of all time.


Also in the course of my life have fallen into my hands other hobbies, such as puzzles, logic games wooden Rubik cube (which only make him face the same color) or do cross stitch (which although not is also created is addictive and improve yourself every time you want to do more complicated), but like Tetris, none has combined both.

Behaviours

I really like theories and more if they can prove. This is about the uncivil behavior of individuals. It originated in an experiment conducted in 1969, Philip Zimbardo, a psychologist at Stanford University.

He left a car in the grimy streets of the Bronx in New York with registration plates pulled up and the doors open. His goal was to see what was happening.

And something happened. After 10 minutes, began to steal their components. After three days there was nothing of value. Then they started to destroy it.

The experiment had a second part: left another car, under similar conditions in a wealthy neighborhood of Palo Alto, California. Nothing happened. For one week, the car remained intact. Then Zimbardo went a step further, and pounded some parts of the body with a hammer. He must be a sign that the good citizens of Palo Alto expected, because after a few hours the car was so wrecked as the Bronx.
This experiment is what led to the broken window theory, developed by James Wilson and George Kelling: If a building is a broken window, and not settled soon, the other windows immediately end up being destroyed by vandals. Why? Because it's fun to break windows, of course. But above all, because the broken window sends a message: there's no one to look after this.
Our councils are familiar with this theory. When a graffiti on a wall, if not cleared soon, the whole wall and in nearby houses, appears full of graffiti. Hence the importance of always keeping the city clean, the streets in order, the gardens in good condition ... Police also know, and therefore considers it important to tackle not only the great crimes, but also small transgressions.
The message is clear: once you begin to disobey the rules to keep order in a community, both the order and the community begin to deteriorate, often with surprising speed. Uncivil behaviors are contagious.

And this applies not only to public, but to many other facets of social life.

In these cases, neither the police nor City Hall cleaning services can do nothing, as in the case of the abandoned car of graffiti or dirt in the streets. The solution lies with the citizens themselves, without crushing the abandoned car and helping to keep the city clean. And recovering civic and moral behavior in the family, the company in the sports club in the city, in the media and so on.

First of all

I like people that vibrates, that we should not push, do not have to tell you to do things, but who knows what to do and does it in less time than expected.

I like people with ability to measure the consequences of their actions, people who do not leave random solutions.

I like people with his people and strict with yourself, but do not lose sight that we are human and we can make mistakes.

I like people who think that team work, among friends, produces more chaotic than individual efforts.

I like people who know the importance of joy.

I like sincere and honest people capable of opposing with calm and reasonable arguments.
I like people to approach, which is not ashamed to admit that not knowing something or he was wrong.

I like people to accept their mistakes, genuinely strives not to repeat.

I like people able to criticize constructively and in front, I call them my friends.

I like people faithful and persistent, that is not killed when goals and ideas in question.

I like people who work for results. With people like that, I agree to anything, because people have had that with my hand I give well paid.

The heart is the boss

This phrase came to me suddenly the other day, when I wrote a comment at dawn. But I thought about it, because it makes sense.
Most of the time we move guided by common sense or the circumstances around us. At heart we leave a little aside ... if we were to be guided by what it says ... anyone knows where we would be!, because the heart has no limits, does not think it's risky, it moves only by impulse ...
Always put in the balance the heart and reason, but ... and how nice it is, let go without thinking of the consequences??? Often, the mind says no to what the heart says yes, and that's when we decide costs.
Of course we do some things the heart, greet a friend, congratulate someone you want, a meal for someone, giving an unexpected surprise, remembering little things ... those things if we do them with my heart because we born. But ... otherwise we risk ??... We are able to close my eyes and say ... yes! I do come! or yes! I say ...???.

At times, we insist on not following the impulses of the heart and then arrepentimos.Tendríamos us to start thinking about that .. HEART is boss and get carried away

My reasonable doubts

Why so overwhelms me having to put a new blog post?

Why can not I just think of all that certain year the man was on the moon?

Why do we place so much importance to things that do not?

Why a virtual friendship is as good as real?

Why should I visit the blog ever written outside Spain?

Why is love so complicated?

Why sometimes we blame something on the moon?

Why are there questions unanswered?

Why I like both movies with happy ending?

I look forward to your whys ...

7 basic rules to keep interested to the blog's readers

-Providing advice: Umm .... I am not the one to give advice, I prefer to offer a virtual chocolate for all who come to my moon.

"Talk to your audience: This was not implemented because I am a rookie .... but from now I'll do, I think is interesting and also because the writer feels read. Attentive readers!! I am going to speak from now ...

-Share personal stories: Well, it interesting to some extent, because what you find interesting about your personal history can be boring to others, so you have to take the point to this section for thick than for those who read. And there is also the same as they do not want to show inside. But if you have to do is done, do pa'ná is nonsense.

'Out of topic: I think this advice is for blogs only specialized in something. Mine still do not know what is ..., I mean everything ... and those who enter can do the same, we go a do what you know and say what you want.
-Keep it short and specific, that is true, it becomes more enjoyable to read, so to accomplish ... as saying that posting ... "short, cortito.

Cede-control: Ask your readers collaborations. Buenoooo .... PRAY PARTNERSHIP !!!!... see jaaajjaa .. no, no, everyone does whatever he wants ...

"Give readers what they want. What readers want? That's what I will say ...

The satisfaction

There is no better incentive to do things yourself to feel fully satisfied.
Who has not felt tremendously happy for what he has achieved on its own?.

Arrange toys
change plugs,
park your car in an unusual site,
fix faucets,
make a spectacular photo
prepare a meal for many people and get everything perfect
make a pie or cake that you have moved and do not know if you want to light the oven,
install a tdt,
a video program,
buy some haggling,
something to follow instructions by phone or messenger, and get,
file a complaint and give you the reason,
work on what you like and get your goal,
introduce you to the Internet world with no idea...
And so many things, which have come either with a little help or without ellla and we turned that into an exclamation point type ... TOMA! , TOMA and TOMA !!!!.

To everything there is to put "win" and have a bit of "curiosity" to see how he does with these things, half of what we want to do is already accomplished, the rest is sometimes a little luck, skill and helping hand of God in all parts ... (heh, heh).

There is a phrase that defines very well this satisfaction:


THE CURIOSITY KILLED THE CAT ... BUT DIED OF RESURRECTION OF SATISFACTION

Cinema Paradiso

Cinema Paradiso is an Italian film by Giuseppe Tornatore in 1988. This film won the Oscar to the Best Film in no-English language of 1989 and a Golden Globe in the same category. He also won the special jury prize of the Cannes Film Festival the same year. The film is a tribute to the genre of the cinema. The long film is a sentimental portrait of post-war Italy and a declaration of love to the movies.
This film is the sum of three crucial features in the development of a film, is equipped with a thorough history, which entails a thorough analysis, and these two factors are expressed with extensive technical versatility in performance.

The movie has a touching story that relies heavily on a formidable management of photography and sound. It is also a tribute to old movies (since there are dozens of references in images and dialogue from Jean Renoir to Charles Chaplin), the love for cinema, its history and techniques ... but above all is a reflection on the strength of will.
