Había una vez un niño que tenía todo el conocimiento del mundo. Un día estaba buscando la clave de la felicidad ya que él distaba de poseerla, tenía la teoría pero por más que quería aplicarla fallaba en el intento. Otro día conoció a una persona que nunca en su vida había abierto un libro, ni siquiera estaba seguro de si sabía leer, sin embargo reía y reía durante días enteros. Era alcohólico. Sin embargo reía. No le importaba lo que pasaba en el mundo. Solo quería seguir tomando y disfrutando de los placeres que la bebida y su buena suerte le ofrecían. Había heredado dinero por lo tanto no tenía nada de qué preocuparse. El niño con todo el conocimiento del mundo era una persona sana y responsable, veía los vicios como algo malo, muchos lo consideraban un genio sin embargo era pobre y tenía que vivir de lo que sus padres le daban semanalmente lo cual se lo gastaba en libros. Un día le pregunto a su amigo alcohólico cual era la clave de la felicidad a la cual este le contestó. Tomar como si no hubiera mañana. El niño con todo el conocimiento del mundo decidió intentar llevar a cabo aquel consejo que sonaría absurdo para muchas personas, y sobre todo para muchos padres. Se compró unas botellas de buen vino y se las llevo a su casa. Puso su mejor música y se sentó a beber como si no hubiera mañana. A la mañana siguiente sus padres lo encontraron muerto en la terraza. Se había olvidado que su estómago no estaba acostumbrado a ingerir sustancias dañinas. Estaba recostado en un mar de vomito y con una expresión de pánico. Su amigo alcohólico al estar borracho no le prestó atención a ésta anécdota y siguió tomando como de costumbre, celebrando como si no hubiera mañana. El niño con todo el conocimiento del mundo murió dejando en la mente de las personas tristeza ya que pensaban que se había suicidado.

So I've been thinking lately that there isn't enough soup in my life and I don't know how to fix it. There aren't really any good restaurants that specialize in soup, and soup alone. Well, actually I guess that's not true, there is one. Recently they opened a SoupMan in the GMP (Grand Market Place) at my school, but the prices are crazy so I haven't been yet.Strangely enough, I don't think I've ever actually ordered soup at a resturant before, either. It's starting to look like this dearth of soup is entirely my own fault, but that just can't be true. It seems like my life used to be full of soups, all kinds of exotic soups, and this is true (for it was full of rich exotic soups!) but where have they all gone?It's quite simple, I got these soups when I lived at home. Now that I'm out in the real world I miss the comfort of homemade soup. Soup that's been cooking on the stove all day so the chunks of vegetables melt away in your mouth. Soup that's chock full of spices and ingredients specialized for my consumption to deliver the taste that I prefer. I miss that.Which I guess means I need to learn how to cook. I used to think that I could cook, I mean I've taken cooking lessons and everything, but now that I'm living out on my own I find that I lean more towards convenience than comfort, and tend to favor things that can be hearted up verses prepared. Why is this?I can think of a couple reasons. It's scary, to buy all of these ingredients and try to chop them up and cook them just right, and add just the right seasonings, etc, only to find out at the end of your labor that it's uneatable. It's terrifying to think of all that wasted money spent preparing something that you can't even eat. It's also a chore to cook for yourself, it just seems much more economical to prepare food that's already designed to be eaten alone.But is the convenience worth the cost? I'm not sure.

as the title.. thats how i feel every day i get a live recording from radiohead.the recent show's at the bbc were amazing , intimate and something every radiohead fan on earth would've love to be part of..Sadly it seems that seeing Radiohead live its becoming more of a privilege these days. Being completle reasonable i understand the intimacy and the rarity of shows like the one on the BBC this week but the real question here is why radiohead always discard southamerica and Mexico?i know they came once to mexico when i was like 12 and completly unable to travel and see them ( also i was in to other kind of music back then).i keep seeing tours come and go and i never see anyone coming here where they have thousands of fans waiting and some others that take the risk and travel to other countrys to see them live, wich is also very expensive for the average people in the continent if not , nearly impossible whiout ending up in amsterdam as a prostitute.what leads me to wonder how really important its for the band the whole carbon footprint thing? if part of the thousands probably millions of fans that Radiohead have in Latin America travel by plane and on different planes and dates to Radiohead Concerts in the U.S or Europe, wouldnt that mean that the carbon emissions would increase instead of decrease like the band wants it?wich leads me to the next question, does the band realize how much of a pain in the ass is to get an north american visa? or a Uk Visa? being born in latin america means you will be seen as potential inmigrant wich is not what i want to discuss here but its also a problem how we are TREATED at every embassy when we ask for a visa... and when they get denied we have to wait a year to apply again wich means a tour that we miss...i wish the band could settle just a couple of dates at least somewhere in latin america for all us fans to gather..

How many keys are on your keychain?i have nine keys. four of them are silver and five are brass. of the four silver, two are functional and often used, one is functional but obsolete, one is of unknown function and origin. of the brass, four are functional and often used, and one is obsolete. to get into my house by the front door you use one silver key and one brass key. to get into the house by the back door you use one brass key. the remaining silver key opens simon's front door. the three other brass keys open 1. a large suitcase i keep on top of my wardrobe, which contains several items precious to me, 2. the door of my lockup, which contains bad secrets and 3. a window. the remaining silver key, which is bent and scratched and older and heavier than all the other keys has belonged to me since my childhood. on bad days i walk down streets in the city at night, trying it out in arbitrary locks.What curse word do you use the most?i actually kept a tally of all the words i used in 1994. of curse words, according to my chart, 'dickhead' was the most common. it was, in fact, the most common word used all year, with over 60% of all words used. the second most common was 'horse'.Do you own an iPod?an iDog, which barks out any song i teach it. today it was doing 'straight outta compton'What time is your alarm clock set for?i never set it. i don't own one. do i seem like that kind of drone to you. i'll tell you, i only set my alarm clock ever once. i had to buy an alarm clock to set that day. it was my first and only day of work. i got to the office on time. my suit wasn't right, i didn't have the correct haircut. a middle-aged woman sat me at a computer, but my task was really to stuff envelopes. the computer just got in the way. i never went back. i threw the alarm clock away.How many suitcases do you own?i own four. three are empty. one, which i have already mentioned is full. mostly, it contains papers - an old school exercise book which my little brother once got hold of and scrawled across with near-dry felt pen. the pen is gone, and him. but the lines that zigzag across it and form crude attempts at faces and hands are tempered by my grubby diagrams of volcanos and river formations.Do you wear flip-flops even when it's cold outside?i only wear them when i dress as a priest, cold or not.Where do you buy your groceries from?sometimes the street corner, sometimes the balcony in the big room of the club. sometimes by the canal.Would you rather take the picture or be in the picture?i would always rather be in the picture. i've never held a camera in my life. i would smash it between my fingers. the last photograph taken of me was taken in 2004. i have it in front of me here. i'm wearing a rubber mask in the shape of the face of a caricature of ronald reagan. that's all. i appear to be in a park.What was the last movie you watched?i'm not sure that it had a name. it involved an acquaintance of mine slowly running a rusty chain over what appears to be a girl wearing an inflatable rubber suit. he then slowly pours a dustbin full of pva glue over the suit, and the glue slowly hardens as she writhes and crawls.Do any of your friends have children?to have children is to lose my friendship. i am against procreation. if there never is a next generation then we have no legacy to worry about. i certainly have no legacy.If you won the lottery, what's the first thing you would buy?a chair and table for the houseHas anyone ever called you lazy?the man in the dole office. my dad. my art teacher at school. a bus driver. a homeless man. a sleepwalker. an astronaut.Do you ever take medication to help you fall asleep faster?i take medication to avoid sleep. sleep to me is death. i truly believe that.What CD is currently in your CD player?jazzDo you prefer regular or chocolate milk?does this mean what i think it means? if so, chocolate. if not, regular.Has anyone told you a secret this week?did i tell you that alvin hall is not really black? he's actually michael jackson, and they black him back up to on tv and give financial advice.also laurence told me about his affair with the butcher. i felt that... this was too much to hear from the boy. the image of the three of them, hunched over a cold slab of meat. the blood, the semen, the gristle. the texture that the meat takes on after the knife has been through it. i kept waking up in the night to images of swinging carcase and grinding animal stench. laurence squirmed and turned beside me. i thought about hurting him. i guess he shouldn't have told me that.When was the last time someone hit on you?the butcher hit me when i accused him of the affair, "as if i would do that to a dog," he said. i insisted. he hit me with his bloody hand. the hand held the cleaver, but he used the fist. the rings did enough damage.What did you have for dinner?a pineappleDo you wear hoodies often?every morning the butcher puts the waste meat into the bins outside my house. i have taken to kicking the bins over, so that the slurry runs into the drain between our two houses. recently, the filth seems to have seeped into the water, which runs from the taps tinged with pink and tiny scraps of what seems to be skin settle to the bottom of glasses. i can neither shower nor wash my plates in these conditions, yet every morning, yes, with my hoodie on, done up like a proper chav, yeah, i go out into the street and kick over the bin, spilling brains and feet all over my street.Can you whistle?here, baby. that's all you need know.Have you ever participated in a protest?i go to protests. i've protested for and against fox hunting. i protested against lowering the gay age of consent. i protested against section 28. i campaigned for the release of mandela. i've been on orange marches. i've picketed the imf and the g8. i've done the may day, i've done cnd, i've done the nf and the skinheads. i've done the anti-nazi league and the neo nazis. i've done animal rights and i've thrown rocks from behind the police lines. brixton riots, oldham, burnley. i'm like a character out of ballard. only even that gets tired sometimes. i've done custard pies. i've done molotovs. it's all been done.Who was the last person to call you?sarah called me. we haven't spoken in eight years. she got my number out the book. she said she'd been looking for something that she thought i'd taken from here when we were last together, a book. i remember that morning well enough. she was golden in the light of the morning. we bathed in the stream that morning, along with her kid, a boy. but the water was poison, and the kid had died soon after. what she wanted, a book that the kid had drawn in, an old school exercise book of hers. i told her i didn't know what she was talking about.What is your favourite ride at an amusement park?the best ride, was the big wheel, 1997, with dale and jeremy. we got stuck at the top for four hours, tripping. all we talked about was how amazing the feeding of the five thousand was, except that, there was this one kid who didn't like either bread or fish and we talked for a long time, hours maybe, about how bad jesus felt about this.Do you think people talk about you behind your back?phil once sent me a transcript of everything he said in one whole month. i think it was july 2000. there were 86 references to me, only 11 of which were in conversation with me. he and i have fallen out since, which makes me churn through again and again those reams of dot matrix paper. i guess it was because i knocked his door down at six in the morning last october, screaming something about hmv loyalty cards.What area code are you in right now?wait a minute. what is this?Did you watch cartoons as a child?my favourite thing to do as a child was put two television sets next to each other and two copies of the same video on, one running slightly behind the other. i explained to the child psychologist that it was a metaphor for my left brain struggling to keep up with my right, but he was having none of it. i didn't want to go to the home.How big is your local mall?big.How many siblings do you have?around nine.Are you shy around the opposite sex?the last time i was at my parents house scouting around the hard drive, i founded a downloaded porno that had to belogn to my dad. it was late at night, my computer started doing the strangest things. every time i moved the mouse it made a strange creaking noise, every click seemed to echo in my ears. as i was masturbating, a fly landed on the keyboard and began to languidly rub its hind legs together and buzz loudly. amongst the noises i picked out the deliberate gruntings of my parents having intercourse. i thought of my dad thinking of the film, and watched as the girls, one black, one white, took turns to suck cock. i felt disgusted. it took me a whole three minutes to come. a new low :(What movie do you know every line to?there isn't one, but if i had to say, it would be blue, derek jarman.Do you own any band t-shirts?damon albarnWhen was your last plane ride?i took nine return trips between here and ulan bator in january this year, convinced that an air-stewardess that i wanted to fuck was working that flight. i lost all my money and didn't see the girl. i had sex in the plane toilets four times though and each time i thought of her so hard the walls of our tiny jet seemed to quaver. i saw her again a few weeks later and she asked me straight up, "did you get that flight to ulan bator nine times to see me?", "no, of course not." i answered. "that's so romantic!" she squealed, and pushed herself into me. i knocked her down onto the floor and spat in her face.How many chairs are at your dining room table?noDo you read for fun?i... doCan you speak any languages other than English?mongolianDo you do your own dishes?i have a... man for thatWhat colour is your bedroom painted?a melange of different colours - my failed mural. i had originally planned to paint a series of great british fascists, but i gave up when my oswald mosely bore a striking resemblance to david seaman.Have you ever cried in public?the last time i cried was in stockholm. we, that is, myself and simon, had been out drinking in the evening and we arrived back at the hotel. he said he wanted cigarettes, and seemed to expect me to go out and get them. eventually i found a place. when i got back to the hotel, i found our room shut up, and simon checked out. penniless in a city i didn't know, nor speak the language of, i spent a tearful night in a shop doorway, only to be kicked awake by police early next morning.Do you have a desktop computer or a laptop?neitherWhich do you make, wishes or plans?every wish you make is another soul that will be your slave in the afterlifeAre you always trying to learn new things?i'm never trying. and yet, it happens.Are you currently wanting any piercings or tattoos?i'm currently half way through getting a giant one on my back of prince in his 'kiss' video, except prince's face is replaced with thom yorke's, and the female dancer's face is replaced with dr david kelly's.Do you believe that the guy should pay on the first date?i've only ever been on second datesCan you skip rocks?ho ho hoHave you ever been to Jamaica?i had a scrap with buju bantonWhat to snack on at the movie theatre?cock!Who was your favorite teacher?either richard blackwood or peter stringfellowat school i remember once when someone had copied a whole essay about shakespeare's macbeth out of one of those little guidebooks you get and the teacher, feigning ignorance of this fact, read the entire essay out, pausing only to compliment its style and depth of argument. we all learned something from that bitch.Have you ever dated someone out of your race?i only date racistsWhat is the weather like?the sky looks like... crayonWould you ever date someone covered in tattoos?i have done. i thought they were black, at first. the realisation came when they got eric b and rakim confused.Do you have an online journal?currently i have twenty six online journals. in each of them i have posted different and contradictory answers to these questions and every single answer is a lie. this one.What was your favourite class in high school?genderDo you enjoy traveling via airplanes?the last plane ride i enjoyed was between cardiff and bangkok. an air stewardess slipped a disc while walking down the aisle with a tray of drinks and was paralysed standing there in ugly contortion. all the thai businessmen on the flight ignored her as the whisky from the upturned glasses ran down the tray which had stopped just above her grimacing face, dripped down onto her forhead, and down her cheeks, some into her mouth, some into her blouse. as we landed, the jolt knocked her down and we all had to step over her to get off the plane.What personality trait is a must-have in your preferred gender?my preferred gender is mixed.Have you ever been attracted to someone physically unattractive?only them.When was the last time you slept on the floor?i slept on the floor the last four nights.

days ago. he was talking about how he'd got this little patch of land just outside the city, a few miles from the motorway with enough space for some livestock, good grazing for cows and sheep and good soil for vegetables. he was going to go all organic, go for the new markets. he asked me if i wanted in on it, half the profits, a place to stay, a share of the produce everything, as long as i helped out. he said there's a time early in the morning, around sunrise at the top of the hill behind his new house, where you can see this whole city stretching out in the valley below. all the buildings hazy, and the view is different every day, it depends on the weather, on the sun and the clouds. i couldn't even think, i just kept shouting "you cunt, you stupid cunt."Do you believe that God has a gender?in the same way that dogs have genders.What was the last thing you ate?pineappleDo you get along better with the same or opposite sex?in this context, i don't know what opposite even means.What did you dress up as for your first Halloween?i was four. i dressed up as a pantomime horse. i was the back end and my dad was the front end. he cut the head off the horse so his own head poked through, on it he wore a mask made of the face of a dead pig. the pig was wearing those novelty glasses where the eyes are on springs.How did your parents pick your name?it's a funny story really. my mum only let my dad move back in if he agreed to let her call me after the prostitute he had been caught with. my dad contested that he didn't know her name, he only called her bitch. when

Over the course of five years, I must have created about 11 different blogs (okay, well some were various reincarnations of the other). Of those 11, I only keep one active now - but for my own selfish use; it's really nothing, and does not even deal with the news or the music that brings us here today. I remember I was 14 when I started my first blog, it was one of those stupid egocentric blogs (oh yes, the irony) that dealt with me, myself, and the random ramblings of I. When I first found out that one of my friends had discovered it I was almost traumatized. Apparently I hadn't realized that this wasn't your own private piece of space, at least not totally. So. That was something new.I also started my own music blogs, which were pathetic little efforts of taking news from other sources (albeit crediting them), and because I was still new to the world of mp3-dom I only provided links to various sites that streamed those songs. It took a lot of Google-researching and metafilters to find some links, but I wouldn't stop until I found them. Yes, I was partially dedicated to this scavenger hunt, it was pretty rewarding.It's almost hard to think of, but there was a time when there was no YouTube. Do you guys remember this? What a trip. I was functioning in a non-YouTube world back then, and music videos were just spread out onto a bunch of different websites, real expansive like. Not that they still don't have that now, but it's no doubt that YouTube is the largest collection of all of these videos at one source. I gave up on music blogging when they were just about to start up. And they made everything so much easier.Other failed ideas:The Vault - Scannings of old grade school notes that were passed around in class. Involved secrets, and "scandals". I got too lazy to scan them all.iDEABLOG - Numerical posts of different ideas/potential inventions I have. By the time I got around to, I'd forget about the ideas.brighthobo - Based on me and my friends' ideas about how to potentially survive if we ever had to live off the streets. Involved ideas about showering at the local fountain, how to bum off leftover food at restaurants, and makeshift desserts (packets of golden sugar). Totally insensitive, and possibly offensive. Decided to never publish those posts.So, that's it. This'll be the only blog post I'll have on here, on this Radiohead-approved version of social networking sites that we have come to love. I've been griping so much I've made everything seem bitter and sour at the same time, like a dark chocolate lemon. Hopefully you're all not as jaded as me. And then it stops --
