SPANGLISH

No doubt USA is the country where Spanglish is widespread, however, Australia is not an exception, and even when I dont want to relate to names I can say I have heard, things such: "Tú eres más HAIRY en COMPARISON TO HIM", it should be "you are more hairy compared to him" or "tú eres mas peludo en comparacion a el".

Spanish speaking people call the city "la city".

There are others like "Tell me LO TODO", it should be "Tell me everything" or "Dimelo todo". (horroroso)

In USA is more common thought, the hispanics there use the word "so" in th middle of a conversation in spanish, and call things such a carpet, "la carpeta".

I remember being there listening to things like:

"Ya me voy a get up"
"Voy a diggear el piso"

CAMBALACHE

Por Enrique Santos Discepolo

Que el mundo fue y sera una porqueria,
ya lo se...
En el quinientos seis
y en el dos mil también!
Que siempre ha habido chorros,
maquiavelos y estafaos,
contentos y amargaos,
valores y dublés...
Pero que el siglo veinte
es un despliegue
de maldad insolente
ya no hay quien lo niegue.
Vivimos revolcaos en un merengue
y en un mismo lodo
todos manoseaos...
Hoy resulta que es lo mismo
ser derecho que traidor..!
Ignorante, sabio, chorro,
generoso o estafador!
Todo es igual! Nada es mejor!
Lo mismo un burro
que un gran profesor!
No hay aplazaos ni escalafon,
los inmorales nos han igualao.
Si uno vive en la impostura
y otro roba en su ambicion,
da lo mismo que sea cura,
colchonero, rey de bastos,
caradura o polizon...

Que falta de respeto,
que atropello a la razon!
Cualquiera es un señor!
Cualquiera es un ladron!
Mezclao con Stavisky va Don Bosco
y "La Mignon,"
Don Chicho y Napoleon,
Carnera y San Martin...
Igual que en la vidriera irrespetuosa
de los cambalaches
se ha mezclao la vida
y herida por un sable sin remache
ves llorar la Biblia
contra un calefon.

Siglo veinte, cambalache
problematico y febril!
El que no llora, no mama,
y el que no afana es un gil.
Dale nomas! Dale que va!
Que alla en el horno
nos vamo a encontrar!
No pienses mas,
sentate a un lao.
Que a nadie importa
si naciste honrao.
Que es lo mismo el que labura
noche y dia, como un buey
que el que vive de los otros,
que el que mata o el que cura
o esta fuera de la ley.
That the world was and it will be filth,
I already know...
In the year five hundred and six
and in the year two thousand too!
There always have been thieves,
traitors and victims of fraude,
happy and bitter people,
valuables and imitations
But, that the twentieth century
is a display
of insolent malice,
nobody can deny it anymore.
We lived sunk in a fuzz
and in the same mud
all well-worn...
Today it happens it is the same
to be decent or a traitor!
To be an ignorant, a genius, a pickpocket,
a generous person or a swindler!
All is the same! Nothing is better!
They are the same, an idiot ass
and a great professor!
There are no failing grades or merit valuations,
the inmorals have caught up with us.
If one lives in a pose
and another, in his ambition, steals,
it's the same if it's a priest,
a matress maker, a king of clubs,
a cad or a tramp.

What a lack of respect,
what a way to run over reason!
Anybody is a gentleman!
Anybody is a thief!
Mixed with Stavinsky, you have Don Bosco
and La Mignon
don Chicho and Napoleon,
Carnera and San Martin.
Like in the disrespectful window
of the bazaars,
life is mixed up,
and wounded by a rivetless sword
you can see a Bible crying
against a water heater.

Twentieth century, bazaar
problematic and feverish!
If you don't cry you don't get fed
and if you don't steal you're a stupid.
Go ahead! Keep it up!
That there, in hell
we're gonna reunite.
Don't think anymore,
move out of the way.
Nobody seems to care
if you were born honest.
It's the same the one who works,
day and night like an ox,
than the one who lives from the others,
than the one that kills or heals
or than the one who lives outside the law.

FOR THE SECOND TIME IN A ROW, WE ARE NOT IN THE WORLD CUP

And I mean Colombia, actually I was asked by many people if we qualified, to which I had to said, embarrased, No, we did not.
Checking back, why we are not a this world cup, I guess, it´s because we have a history of messing things big time in sports.
Let´s say! what do people remember about Colombia Soccer Team?
Yes!, of course Andres Escobar, and a drunk bodyguard shooting him, god knows how many times after USA 94 world cup elimination.
Just recently I think a few colombian soccer players were killed, not that I am proud of! But Colombia is passion, isnt it? Even when is the sort of wrong passion.
We are not this year in the world cup and if things keep going like this, maybe I won´t see my team in the near future playing in such event, I wish to see them next time.

IF I WERE A DEAD RUSSIAN COMPOSER I WOULD BE IGOR STRAVINSKY

If I were a Dead Russian Composer, I would be Igor Stravinsky. Known as a true son of the new 20th Century, my music started out melodic and folky but slowly got more dissonant and bizzare as I aged. I am a traveler and a neat freak, and very much hated those rotten eggs thrown at me after the premiere of "The Rite of Spring." Who would you be? Dead Russian Composer Personality Test

FERRY MANLY - SYDNEY

Every other sunday, I catch a ferry to go from Manly to Sydney, ever since the first day I have done this trip, I find this city, wonderful!! Probably one of the most beautiful cities in the world, I guess I still have to see other cities before making up my mind about that.
Yesterday the waves where huge, the water evern got inside the ferry a few times.
scary, but nice.
I was listening "nights in white satin".

CONTRADICTORIO

Es como contradictorio decir:

Sabio es aquél que piensa antes de actuar
El que piensa, pierde

No dejes para mañana lo que puedes hacer hoy
Del afan no queda sino el cansancio

Mas vale tarde que nunca
Loro viejo nunca aprende

No por madrugar, amanece mas temprano
Al que madruga Dios le ayuda

Perro que ladra no muerde
Cuando el río suena, piedras lleva

A grandes males grande remedios
A veces el remedio es peor que la enfermedad

Definitivamente los dichos no sirven pa' un carajo!!!

DO YOU WANT TO KILL SOMEBODY AND GET PAID FOR IT?

You simply need to join the US army!!!!
The number of civilians REPORTED killed by military intervention in IRAQ is at least 38000!!
This means, mums, grandmas, children.
So you know now, if you want to kill somebody, get away with it and get paid besides!! Join the US army.

NEMESIS

En la mitología griega Némesis (llamada Ramnusia, la «diosa de Ramnus» en su santuario de Ramnus) es la diosa de la venganza y la fortuna. Es una deidad antigua, por lo que no está sometida a los dictámenes de los olímpicos. Castiga sobre todo la desmesura. Sus sanciones tienen usualmente la intención de dejar claro a los hombres que, debido a su condición humana, no pueden ser excesivamente afortunados ni deben trastocar con sus actos, ya sean buenos o malos, el equilibrio universal. Un claro ejemplo lo encontramos en Creso, que al ser demasiado dichoso fue arrastrado por Némesis a una expedición contra Ciro que provocó su ruina.
