- Afghanistan civil war: 1978 - currently
Afghanians against Afghanians
Not to mention, this country has been invaded by soviets before, hence, Osama war.

This is a war based largely on racial, religious and regional differences. The government is dominated by Muslim Arabs, while the south of the country is largely black Christian.

    LA INSPIRACIÓN




    Se trata de Kristiania, el Oslo actual, vista desde Ekeberg, en cuyo asilo siquiatrico estaba su hermana Laura, que sufria esquizofrenia, adeamas ahi al lado quedaba el matadero municipal, asi que inspirado en los gritos de los orates y animales mueriendo imagino esto...

    AJIACO SANTAFEREÑO



    2 chicken breasts
    garlic and onion chicken stock
    12 small yellow potatoes, cut in halves
    2 ears of corn, cut in halves
    8 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 5 mm slices
    1 bunch scallions
    1 bunch cilantro
    8 guascas
    1 cups of heavy cream
    2 capers, drained
    2 avocados, peeled, pitted and thinly sliced salt
    4 pieces of corn

    The night before marinate the chicken breasts with garlic, onion and salt.

    In a heavy 4-liter casserole, put the breasts, add water, cover and cook until the chicken is tender.

    Transfer the chicken to a platter.

    Remove the skin from the chicken and discard.

    Cut the chicken breasts into strips.

    Cook the yellow potatoes in the casserole with the chicken stock until they start to disintegrate.

    Add more chicken stock to taste.

    At this point the soup should be thick and fairly smooth.

    Add the bunch of scallions, the bunch of cilantro, the sliced potatoes, the guascas, and the corn.

    When cooked remove the bunch of cilantro and the bunch of scallions.

    Serve the chicken on soup bowls and pour the soup into the bowls.

    Pour the cream and the chopped capers on each bowl.

    Float the sliced avocado on top.

    Serves 4.

    You definitively have to use guascas if you want to call your soup Ajiaco. It's not easy to get them out of Colombia, but they give this soup its characteristic flavor.

    MAS PELUDO

    MADE IN HEAVEN




    1987 was created, 1993 was seen first time ever, old movie I waited until 1999 to see it again, only took me 6 years, a whole life I might say, that night I was 10 years old and was home alone, zapping channels when there was this perfect image of heaven, one never seen until then, ejoyed greatly watching this, jus I didnt catch the name or anything. This is just a romantic, occassionaly funny, drama about two souls who consumate their marriage literally in "Heaven". Mike Shea, in his first life dies as a young man performing a heroic rescue. Shortly after arriving in "Heaven" he meets a new soul, Annie Packert, who has never lived on Earth before. The drama centers around their separation soon after being wedded and the burning question is whether they will reunite on Earth before time runs out or whether they are fated to eternal soul-searching.

    ONLY GOD KNOWS WHY

    I've been sittin' here
    Tryin' to find myself
    I get behind myself
    I need to rewind myself
    Lookin' for the payback
    Listen for the playback
    They say that every man bleeds just like me
    And now I feel like number one
    Yet I'm last in life
    I watch my younger son
    And it helps to pass the time
    I take too many pills to help to ease the pain
    I made a couple of dollar bills still I feel the same
    Everybody knows my name
    They say it way out loud
    A lot of folks fuck me
    It's hard to hang out in crowds
    I guess that's the price you pay
    To be some big shot like I am
    Outskirt stands and one night stands
    Still I can't find love

    And when your walls come tumbling down
    I will always be around
    And when your walls come tumbling down
    I will always be around

    People don't know about the things I say and do
    They don't understand about the shit that I've been through
    It's been so long since I've been home
    I've been gone, I've been gone for way too long
    Maybe I forgot all things I miss
    Oh somehow I know there's more to life than this
    I said it too many times
    And I still stand firm
    You get what you put in
    And people get what they deserve
    Still I ain't seen mine
    No I ain't seen mine
    I've been giving just ain't been gettin'
    I've been walking down that line
    So I think I'll keep on walking
    With my head held high
    I'll keep moving on and only God knows why

    GRANJAS DE SAN PABLO




    Se llamaba Cecilia, y todas esas mañanas llenas de viento, la veía al salir y observaba como se bendecía a si misma, talvez esperaba que pudiera volver a su casa y ver a su mama, aquella señora tenia cara de águila, al menos tenia siete años y eso era lo que veía en ella, la cuadra transversal que cortaba la cuadra no estaba pavimentada, en las noches se sentaba en sus piernas, y en su Renault 4 conducía por media hora durante esa cuadra, lloraba por el viento, no sabia que no veía, había una anciana vendiendo mamoncillos, un día supo que se murió y empezó a comprar helados en otra ruta, los caminos eran magníficos, tomaba media hora subir todas esas escaleras, las cuáles tenían pintados mensajes de navidad de hacia tres años, ir a donde el señor Luis López de Mesa por ese camino de miedo, pero que no sentía en ese entonces, encontró un hombre destrozado en su frente por un hacha, todos los niños miraban, nada cambio, es solo otro muerto, los niños corren con una llanta de bicicleta y un pedazo de madera, la envidia lo abrazaba, el no podía hacer lo mismo, los viernes a las 430 eran momentos felices, sucios hasta las 8, tirados en el piso con caminos imaginarios llenos de ríos y montañas. Vuelve 15 años después y la policía lo detiene, fotografiar para asesinar presumen.

    RIO DE JANEIRO




    Rio de Janeiro, a água é a tua bandeira, agita as suas cores, sopra e retine no vento, cidade, negra náiade, de claridade sem fim, de abrasadora sombra, de pedra com espuma é o teu tecido, o cadenciado balanço da tua rede marinha, o azul movimento
    dos teus pés areentos, o aceso ramo dos teus olhos.

    Rio, Rio de Janeiro, os gigantes salpicam a tua estátua com pontos de pimenta, deixaram na tua boca dorsos do mar, barbatanas perturbadoramente mornas, promontórios
    da fertilidade, tetas da água, declives de granito, lábios de ouro, e entre as pedras quebradas o sol marinho iluminando rutilantes espumas.

    Ó Beleza, ó cidadela de pele fosforescente, romã de carne azul, ó deusa tatuada em sucessivas ondas de ágata negra, da tua nua estátua um aroma de jasmim molhado se desprende, vem no suor, um ácido pegajoso de cafezais e de frutarias e pouco a pouco sob o teu diadema, entre a dupla maravilha dos teus seios, entre cúpula e cúpula da tua natureza aparece o dente da desgraça, a cancerosa cauda da miséria humana, nos montes leprosos o cacho inclemente das vidas, pirilampo terrível, esmeralda extraída
    do sangue, o teu povo estende-se até aos confins da selva num rumor abafado, passos e surdas vozes, migrações de esfomeados, escuros pés com sangue, o teu povo, para lá dos rios, na densa amazônia, esquecido, no Norte de espinhos, esquecido, com sede nos planaltos, esquecido, nos portos mordido pela febre, esquecido, à porta da casa de onde o expulsaram, pedindo-te apenas um olhar, esquecido.

    CARTAGENA DE INDIAS




    Dancing really hard in Cartagena, say. When I wake
    in the morning, a knife in my forehead, with low
    Low eyes like clouds over tableland and the expression
    Of a benevolent donkey, I check the dictionary.

    It means a book instead of a flowerpot. What a surprise!
    Offering tortilla espanola and refuge from sunshine,
    The old lady owner of the local, a long black cigarette
    tangled in her bony fingers. There are certain persons

    Who understand -nada- she says. Ni nada. I think:
    I've gone dancing in Cartagena. As a girl, bored
    Durng Minnesota summers, I stuffed bags in other bags,
    I filled things up. Monolingual, flat-chested, with no ideas

    About the weather. I can't tell you how much
    I've developed since then. She drums her fingers, while
    Her cigarette smokes like a signal fire. The bar fills up
    With those little puffs, signifying nothing, white noise

    And white noise, a strange weather with no wind
    Behind it. The beat of those fingers reminds me of --
    Nada. Ni nada. I'm illiterate today. So pleased.
    I've been dancing. I've really come a long way.

    ¿ACASO COLOMBIA SOLO HUELE A SANGRE?

    A qué huele la sangre, ¡será que huele a lo mismo que huele el agua!, agua en la cabeza de la amante, agua en la cacerola de quien no cocinará esta noche, por estar entretenido con la muerte.

    La sangre no huele cuando es limpia, el agua no huele cuando es limpia, en Colombia huele a sangre derramada y el agua de los ríos se ha vuelto picha, Colombia huele a palomas posadas en los techos de la guerra, Colombia huele a sexo reprimido, untado y barajado en tangos y rancheras, huele.

    El agua huele a sexo y Colombia huele a sexo, basta con mirar y ver (¿observar?) los millones de condones que flotan en las aguas del pestilente del río Bogotá, para confirmar que la sangre huele a sexo, ya que por las aguas de los ríos en Colombia bajan miles de cadáveres por año, alimentando los gallinazos que navegan en sus aguas.

    Colombia huele a arco iris, Colombia no huele a sopa, Colombia huele a guayaba y a mariposas amarillas, Colombia huele a gordas y gordos recién masacrados.

    Colombia huele a Montoya y millones de dólares, Colombia huele al Pibe y a rizos amarillos tinturados, huele a chocolate pasado por el video-sexo de Shakira, Colombia no huele a gallina amarilla calentada con un foco. Colombia ya casi no huele a ruana.

    Colombia olió a pino silvestre, a pachulí, a maíz, a cuca frondosa, Colombia ha empezado a oler a monóxido de carbono, a tóxicos, a humo malo y negro. Colombia tiene el aroma de la vida y tiene el aroma de la muerte, se ha perdido el olor de la fiesta, convertida en masacre permanente, Colombia huele a tumulto y religión, huela a zozobra, huele a miedo que asusta al propio olor de la metralla.

    En la zona rosa huele a pulmón cocido, el congreso huele a pólvora y tinta seca, que en el transporte público se concentran los olores reprimidos y saltan a la vista los deseos de arribar al día siguiente, huele a motel y sábanas y sueños, y angustia no poder oler el sol que casi ya ni huele.

    Colombia huele a espíritu callejero y libertario, huele a rumba y canto, huele a arte y carcajadas. Colombia huele a sociedad vespertina un poco rancia por las plumas del gallinero. Colombia huele a salsa, pueblo y muchedumbre. ¡Llegó el cólera! Colombia huele a río.

    Colombia es una maravilla de olor. El olor colombiano puede exportarse en frascos de poesía.

    DE POR DIOS...




    ENGLAND, GERMANY AND COLOMBIA, BEHIND THE CAMERA, SWEDEN AND IRAN.
    COMO TODOS LOS FINES DE SEMANA, BORRACHOS EN EL APARTAMENTO.
    MAMASANTA, PECATA Y CHUPAMEDIAS.
    DE PORQUE ELLA NUNCA LA DIJO QUE LO AMABA.
    DE PORQUE 2000 DOMINGOS LE PARECIERON UN CHISTE.
    DE PORQUE YA NO ENCUENTRO DIFERENCIA ENTRE HABLAR Y NO HABLAR.

    BUSCO UNA VIUDA VACANTE

    Busco una viuda vacante,
    sin importarme su estado,
    con un pisito amueblado,
    y en el banco mucha guita,
    y que pase la cuentita,
    a nombre de un servidor,
    por ahí con el nuevo amor,
    entra a jugar a la guerra,
    y se planta bajo tierra,
    con el marido anterior.

    Yo soy un hombre morocho,
    con unos ojos verdosos,
    cabello enredao, buen mozo,
    recien tengo treinta y siete,
    pa' el amor inteligente,
    tambien para la mujer,
    porque en cosas del querer,
    yo se ofrecer la ternura,
    y entregarme con dulzura,
    para rendirme a sus pies.

    Tengo salud para rato,
    duermo diez horas por dias,
    un bañito de agua fria,
    y desayuno completo,
    a las doce buen almuerzo,
    y despues de descansar,
    porque eso de trabajar,
    con el estomago lleno,
    me batieron que no es bueno,
    y hasta me puedo enfermar.

    Si alguien esta interesada,
    y quiere formar el nido,
    yo le brindo el apellido,
    en una forma galante,
    contestar "poste restante",
    casilla noventa y dos,
    a nombre de un soñador,
    para casarse al instante,
    con una viuda vacante,
    que este huerfana de amor.

    SINGING WITHOUT TROUBLE




    I spun a web, it's tangled up with me,
    And I lost my head,
    The thought of all the stupid things I said,
    O no what's this?
    A spider web, and I'm caught in the middle,
    I turned to run,
    The thought of all the stupid things I've done,

    O no I see,
    A spider web and it's me in the middle,
    So I twist and turn,
    Here I am in love in a bubble,

    Singing,

    They spun a web for me.

    CANNONBALL

    Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
    Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
    Still a little hard to say what's going on

    Still a little bit of your ghost your witness
    Still a little BIT of your face I haven't kissed
    You step a little closer EACH DAY
    Still I can't SAY what's going on

    Stones taught me to fly
    Love taught me to lie
    Life taught me to die
    So it's not hard to fall
    When you float like a cannonball

    Still a little bit of your song in my ear
    Still a little bit of your words I long to hear
    You step a little closer TO ME
    So close that I can't see what's going on

    Stones taught me to fly
    Love taught me to lie
    Life taught me to die
    So it's not hard to fall
    When you float like a cannon

    Stones taught me to fly
    Love taught me to cry
    So come on courage!
    Teach me to be shy
    'Cause it's not hard to fall
    And I don't WANNA scare her
    It's not hard to fall
    And I don't wanna lose
    It's not hard to grow
    When you know that you just don't know

    THIS IS COLOMBIA
