Mexico 2010 - mexican poetry

Yo Nezahualcóyotl lo pregunto:¿Acaso de veras se vive con raíz en la tierra?Nada es para siempre en la tierra:Sólo un poco aquí.Aunque sea de jade se quiebra,Aunque sea de oro se rompe,Aunque sea plumaje de quetzal se desgarra.No para siempre en la tierra:Sólo un poco aquí.

destroyed music.

I was googling Radiohead (because I'm bored and sick at home) and stumbled across something named Jaydiohead. It's a mashup of Jay-Z and Radiohead... Talk about contrasts! And this isn't a positive thing, believe me, it's horrible. Someone mixed Radiohead's instrumentals with Jay-Z's ranting (also called rap... meh) and it's... I don't even know what to say.

Have a listen yourselves and tell me what you think. Personally, I couldn't feel more sick. I'm sick to my stomach because of the so called music and I have a cold. Nice, huh?

cough.

I hate it when people don't hold their hands for their mouth when they cough or sneeze. Why won't you show some respect to the rest of us that DON'T want to catch whatever you're having?And just because people did that every day of last week, I caught a cold and I'm miserable. Thanks to some rude people.(Normally, I never get sick or even catch a cold. Seriously.)

Who dies?

"He who slowly becomes a slave of habit, repeating every day the same itineraries;

Who does not change brand, does not risk to wear a new color and does not speak to who do not know ..

Dies slowly he who makes television his guru.

Dies slowly he who avoids a passion, who prefers black and white dots on the "ies", a swirl of emotions, especially those that recover the gleam of the eyes, smiles from the yawns, hearts from the stumbling and feelings.

Dies slowly he who does not overthrow the table when is unhappy at work, who does not risk the certain for the uncertain to go toward that dream, who is not allowed at least once in their life, away from sensible advice.

He dies slowly who love leaks even possible so as not to make the effort to make it grow.

He dies slowly who does not travel, who does not read, does not listen to music, who does not laugh at yourself.

He who slowly destroys his self love, who does not even try.

Dies slowly he who passes his days complaining of his bad luck or the incessant rain ..

Dies slowly he who abandons a project before starting it, who does not ask about an issue which ignores or does not respond when asked about something he knows.

Let's avoid death in small doses, reminding oneself that being alive requires an effort far greater than the simple fact of breathing.

Only a burning patience will lead to attainment of a splendid happiness. "



Pablo Neruda

THIRTY-SIX

My dad turned 64 yesterday.

When I'm 64 came out in 1967 when he was 21.

What he thought then. 1967. 21 years old. 64 seemed so so so far away. And now. He's there.

From here on out, 64 will be a recollection. What was so far away is now behind. Never to return.

Caught.

And that's the thing about When I'm 64. You think about it. Don't you. What it'll be like. Who you'll be. The future; so far away.

But it's not.

But it's not.



OR



I roamed the East Village last Friday evening. After a rock show. At a club where I have ingested many things. Many of them illegal. You'd never guess it to look at me but I have ingested many things. Many (sometimes) wonderful things. Back when the Village was mine. Ours. And now it's not anymore.

It's theirs. Walking at 1am on a hot August Friday evening.

The people were cardboard.

The spark was gone.

The light was out.

I could ask for more.

When I'm 64.

musical love.

The way Thom first talks a bit about the song he's about to play and to which people he's dedicating it to, and then says "Anyway" and just starts playing this beautiful piece... I mean, saying I get chills would be a huge understatement. I'm just in love with it. So beautiful it almost makes me cry. Almost.

Returning

Mistakes... Be careful. Be ready. Do not disturb my surface. Begging for bread do not stand too close this mistery tree. It's clearly above you. You should never let them go away, but now you just can care only about yourself. So beg for bread, but not too loud. If future comes, where will you hide?

* * *

I woke up. It was late. Anything I laid on the positions was lying on them, but flying around in my eyes. I had my coffee and cereal. On an old tree outside a window birds were singing their morning ballad. I came back to bed. Hide under the pillow. Fell asleep again.

* * *

I wish you not to be too close the answer, when you'll have to return. I wish you to be not too close the answer, when you'll have to return!


So... Well, writing in foreign languege is even funny, when you don't know it good enough and don't use a dictionary... You just write what you hear in your head, without wondering what does it mean... This is like writing music... /Above you see some parts of my brain. Words inspired listening to Radiohead all the time. This is called Returning, I don't write about myself, never! When you made a mistake, you just -sometimes unconsciously- turn back. I love this process! Don't think bad about this, I'm young, have to learn much more./

as if.

I don't watch a lot of TV anymore. I use the Internet instead whenever I want to watch something. It's fast, convenient and best of all - free of commercials. I was thinking of linking you my favourite programme that aired on TV from 2001-2004, and it's named As If.

It's just the best series ever. I don't know what to say... I just love it. Season 1, Season 2, Season 3, Season 4. These are YouTube playlists and each episode is split into three videos because of the time limit. Before, it used to be 10 mins, now it's 15 (and for producers - well, an hour or two). Anyhow, I hope you enjoy the series as much as I do!
