MACCHU PICCHU - PERU



Los latinos no sabemos lo que tenemos. Muchos quieren ir a EE.UU. o Europa sin antes conocer nuestros propios paises y nuestros paises vecinos. (Yo fui uno de ellos y por eso viajo por Sur America)

BOCA JUNIORS VS. RIVER PLATE



Desde que supe que había un clasico durante las fechas en las que iba a estar en Argentina inicie la busqueda de entradas. Miré por internet y encontré que iba a ser inmposible. Contacte un buen amigo argentino quien dijo iba a tratar de encontrar, desafortunadamente, ni siquiera el en Argentina puedo encontrarme un boleto. Ya en Buenos Aires vi que el hostal tenia tiquetes, estaban a $500 pesos, algo así como $170 dolares. mucho dinero, pues serían dos tiquetes. Menos mal el loco que trabajaba atendiendo en el hostal era colombiano y me las ayudo a conseguir en $330. Tuve la suerte de comprar los tiquetes con este loco, pues ninguno de los 150 extranjeros que comprarón las boletas de %500 pesos pudo entrar al partida, aparentemente al organizador lo embaucaron.
1-1 fue el resultado y ha sido el mejor partido que haya visto. No por la calidad del futbol solamente, sino por la hinchada que canto y salto por 90 minutos.

GUERRILLA GIRL



Frank Piasecki Poulsen is a Danish who creates movies. In 2005 he released a movie where his intention was to show the human side of a "terrorist group" called FARC (Fuerzas Armadas de Colombia). He based it on the fact that FARC have been declared as a terrorist group by the US and the EU.

This movie was shown in Colombia in 2005 and I just watched it on SBS the other day.(http://www.sbs.com.au/).
I was greatly interested on taking a look to this documentary when announced in Australian TV, unfortunately, I felt like the movie was no real and without knowing it was from Denmark, I thought it was made by Venezuela's government.

What was shown in this doc was simply false. I am Colombian and I have lived there for 23 years. FARC men and woman are not victims and do not represent the people from Colombian, in fact, a majority of the population is sick of the war.

I am returning soon from a two years period of studies here in Australia. I don’t know if these two years here affected my hearing, but I am pretty sure the accent of some of the girls in the movie is Venezuelan and not Colombian, I might be wrong but that’s how I felt it.

NOCTURNO III

Una noche
Una noche toda llena de perfumes,
de murmullos y de música de alas,
una noche
en que ardían en la sombra nupcial y
húmeda las luciérnagas fantásticas,
a mi lado, lentamente, contra mí ceñida toda,
muda y pálida
como si un presentimiento de amarguras infinitas
hasta el más secreto fondo de tus fibras se agitara,
por la senda que atraviesa la llanura florecida
caminabas,
y la luna llena
por los cielos azulosos,
infinitos y profundos esparcía su luz blanca.
Y tu sombra
fina y lánguida,
y mi sombra
por los rayos de la luna proyectadas
sobre las arenas tristes
de la senda se juntaban
y eran una
y eran una
y eran una sola sombra larga
y eran una sola sombra larga
y eran una sola sombra larga.

Esta noche
solo, el alma
llena de las infinitas amarguras
y agonías de tu muerte,
separado de ti misma por la sombra,
por el tiempo y la distancia,
por el infinito negro
donde nuestra voz no alcanza,
solo y mudo
por la senda caminaba.
Y se oían los ladridos de los perros a la luna,
a la luna pálida,
y el chillido de las ranas.
Sentí frío. Era el frío que tenían en tu alcoba
tus mejillas y tus sienes y tus manos adoradas
entre las blancuras níveas
de las mortuorias sábanas.
Era el frío del sepulcro, era el frío de la muerte,
era el frío de la nada.
Y mi sombra
por los rayos de la luna proyectada
iba sola
iba sola
iba sola por la estepa solitaria.
Y tu sombra esbelta y ágil;
fina y lánguida
como en esa noche tibia de la muerta primavera,
como en esa noche llena de perfumes,
de murmullos y de música de alas,
se acercó y marchó con ella,
se acercó y marchó con ella,
se acercó y marchó con ella...
¡Oh las sombras enlazadas!
¡Oh las sombras que se juntan y se buscan
en las noches de negruras y de lágrimas!

WHY IS BETTER TO BE IN PRISON THAN IN A OFFICE


a)In prison you spend the majority of your time in an 8x10 cell. At work you spend most of your time in a 6x8 cubicle.


b)In prison you get 3 meals a day. At work you get a break for 1 meal and you have to pay for it.


c)In prison you get time off for good behavior. At work you get rewarded for good behavior with more work. In prison you can watch TV and play games. At work you get fired for watching TV and playing games.


d)In prison a guard locks, unlocks, opens and closes all doors for you. At work you must carry around a security card and unlock and open all doors yourself.


e)In prison you get your own toilet. At work you have to share.


f)In prison they allow you to visit your family and friends. At work you can't even speak to family and friends.


g)In prison all expenses are paid by taxpayers, with no work required. At work, you get to pay all the expenses to go to work and then they deduct taxes from your salary to pay for the prisoners.


h)In prison you spend most of your life looking through bars from the inside wanting to get out. At work you spend most of your time wanting to get out and inside bars.


i)In prison you can join many programs that you can leave at any time. At work there are some programs you can never get out of.


j)In prison there are wardens who are often sadistic and psychotic. At work we call them managers!

ONLY 4%



The world known is only 4 percent; this aint nothing, I wich I could see more, but neither my passport nor my pocket let me do it. Hopefully next year I can see a couple more. To create your own map go to: http://douweosinga.com/projects/visitedcountries

CARLOS THE JACKAL




The Jackal, is this guy that became one of the most notorious terrorist in the world, as big as Bin Laden back then, still alive and prisoned in France, Carlos (his real name is Ilich Ramirez) is been used in many movies, among them, "The Jackal" with Bruce Willis.


Watching this movie a few years ago I remember my father saying that the Jackal was actually south american, I was like, what....?


In fact and surprisingly, this guy was born in Venezuela and studied law. Guess where? Of course, Bogota, Colombia, in "La Universidad Libre".


For full biography, written by an American (obviously) go to: CRIME LIBRARY PROFILES

CHILDREN OF MEN




Yesterday I felt like going to the movies, havent been there lately, checked online and nothing was really on, jus a bunch of crappy productions, checking what there was in Hornsby I found "Children of Men" and this is a sci-fi story with Clive Owen (Closer) and it is in the future, where human beings cannot procreate anymore (sounds fun) I went there not expecting much, but the movie was really good. Well done movie, made me think of second world war, sliders and Julius and all of his ideas about the end of the world, by the way, Julius is my boss and he is into all these conspiracy theories, human being creating biological weapons to depopulate this world by for instace no letting more human to be born. I liked the soundtrack, mix of bullets, screams and others...in the movie, adter 18 year without a birth, there is a immigrant in England pregnant (Immmigrants are to be killed by britons in the movie) England is the only place that has survived.

The movie was directed by a mexican, Alfonso Cuaron.

HOW MANY PEOPLE IN AVERAGE A WOMAN HAS SEX WITH DURING LIFE?




My ex girlfriend once said if she got to be with 20 men in her life, she will sound as if she was a whore. How many people you have been with and how old are you so far? By the time she said this she was 27 and I dont know how many she has been with.

Answers

by soulful_kris

Here's the formula:
Age - 18 = maximum number of men she can sleep with before she's a whore.

by Mumbling Girl

Whoa! that's a lot dude, seriously!

I'm not a conservative person, but at 29 years old, I've been with four--3 of them were ex, the last one is my current BF.

by Julie W

First of all, if you love her, it shouldn't matter who or how many men she has been with as long as she has a clean bill of health. That was her past. You are hoping to be her future am I right? Then let it go. It really is none of your business.
I have had my share of sexual partners and my only concern for my future mate is that I am not bringing anything into the relationship that shouldn't be there. (you get my drift.) I am 28+ and if my man asks me that question, he will get this same answer.

by joeyboy_816

I say 1 new person a month from ages 21-30
thats 9 yrs 9 times 12 equals 96

ESTE MORRACO




Cuando era chinche, este morraco llamado Alf era el programa de TV mas visto en el mundo, a tal punto que toda niña conocida tuvo el famosisimo "copete de Alf"!! Hay que ver las fotos de todas mis primas, muy poquitas se salvaron la verdad.

EL POLLO Y EL MUNDO




Un pollo al borde de una carretera, cruzo al otro lado.

PREGUNTA: Por qué el pollo cruzó la carretera?
RESPUESTAS:

*DESCARTES:

* Para ir al otro lado.

*PLATÓN:

* Por su bien. Al otro lado de la carretera se encuentra la Verdad.

*ARISTÓTELES:

* Esta en la naturaleza del pollo el cruzar las carreteras

*KARL MARX:

* Era históricamente inevitable

*CAPITÁN PICARD:

* Para llegar adonde ningun otro pollo habia jamas llegado antes.

*MARTIN LUTHER KING JR:

* He tenido un sueño donde todos los pollos eran libres de cruzar una carretera sin tener que justificar sus actos

*MOISES:

* Y Dios descendió del paraíso y le dijo al pollo: "cruza la carretera". Y el pollo cruzo y El vio que esto era bueno.

* RICHARD M. NIXON:

* El pollo no cruzo la carretera, repito, el pollo no cruzo nunca la carretera

*SIGMUND FREUD:

* El hecho de que te preocupe porque el pollo cruzo la carretera ya revela tu fuerte sentimiento de inseguridad sexual latente.

*BILL GATES:

* Precisamente acabamos de comprar la carretera con el pollo incluido para desarrollar el Microsoft Virtual Pollo 2003. Posiblemente en el Service Pack 14 se conteste la interrogante planteada.

*BUDA:

* Preguntarse tal cosa es renegar de tu propia naturaleza de pollo

*LA IGLESIA DE LA CIENCIOLOGIA:

* La razón esta en vosotros, pero no la conocéis todavía. Mediante un módico pago de $1.500 mas el alquiler de un detector de mentiras, le haremos un análisis psicológico que nos permitirá descubrir la razón.

*BILL CLINTON:

* Juro sobre la constitución que no ha pasado nada entre el pollo y yo.

*EINSTEIN:

* El hecho de que sea el pollo el que cruce la carretera o que sea la carretera la que se mueve bajo el pollo es relativo al referencial.

*ZEN:

* El pollo puede cruzar la carretera en vano, solo el Maestro conoce el ruido de su sombra detrás de la pared.

*NEO:

* El pollo no existe.

*STALIN:

* Hay que fusilar al pollo inmediatamente, y también a los testigos de la escena y a diez personas escogidas al azar por no haber impedido este acto subversivo

*EL MONO JOJOY:

* ¿Cómo logró pasar si teníamos minada la carretera?

*MANCUSO:

* Desplazaremos todo el gallinero y lo haremos desde el Congreso.

*GEORGE W. BUSH:

* El hecho de que el pollo haya cruzado la carretera con toda impunidad a pesar de las resoluciones de la ONU representa una grave ataque a la democracia, la justicia y la libertad. Esto prueba sin ninguna duda que teníamos que haber bombardeado esta carretera hace tiempo. Con el objetivo de garantizar la paz en esa región, y para evitar que los valores que defendemos sean otra vez atacados por este tipo de terrorismo, el gobierno de los Estados Unidos de América ha decidido enviar 17 porta aviones, 46 destructores y 154 fragatas, con el apoyo desde tierra de 243.000 soldados de infantería y por el aire de 846 bombarderos, que tendrán por misión, en nombre de la libertad y de la democracia, el eliminar todo asomo de vida en los gallineros a 5.000 km a la redonda, y después, asegurarse con unos disparos de misiles muy precisos de que todo lo que parezca de lejos o de cerca un gallinero sea reducido a un montón de cenizas y no pueda nunca mas desafiar a nuestra nacion con su arrogancia. Hemos decidido también que después, ese pais sera generosamente dirigido por nuestro gobierno, que reconstruirá gallineros según las normas vigentes de seguridad, poniendo a su frente un gallo elegido democráticamente por el embajador de los USA. Para financiar todas estas reconstrucciones, nos conformaremos con el control absoluto de toda la producción de cereales de la región durante 30 anos, sabiendo que los habitantes locales se beneficiaran de una tarifa preferente sobre una parte de la producción, a cambio de su total cooperación. En este nuevo pais de justicia, paz y libertad, podemos asegurares que nunca mas un pollo intentar cruzar una carretera, por la simple razón que no habrá mas carreteras y q ue los pollos no tendrán patas. Que Dios bendiga a América!

*ALVARO URIBE VELEZ: (Presidente de Colombia)

* Apoyaremos incondicionalmente al gobierno de los Estados Unidos

MATCH POINT




The man who said "I'd rather be lucky than good" saw deeply into life. People are afraid to face how great a part of life is dependent on luck. It's scary to think so much is out of one's control. There are moments in a match when the ball hits the top of the net, and for a split second, it can either go forward or fall back. With a litte luck, it goes forward, and you win. Or maybe it doesn't, and you lose.
Sounds familiar? I bet you know...


I am coming back to a subject that always interest me, chaos theory. Are we all part of a plan or there is free will, not sure yet, maybe next year!!!
