Guilty Pleasure

Boat Behind

So we meet again after several years, several years of separation

moving on, moving around
Did we spend this time chasing the other's tail?
Singing
Ohohohoh, I could never belong to you,

Ohohohoh, I could never belong to you
Winter and spring, summer and fall
You're the wind surfer crossing the ocean and the boat behind
Skiffle and rag, shuffle and waltz
You're the up tip toe ballerina in the chorus line:
Singing
Ohohohoh, I could never belong to you
Ohohohoh, I could never belong to you
River and sea, picking up salt
Through the air there's a fluffly cloud falling down as rain
Ohohohoh, I could never belong to you
Ohohohoh, I could never belong to you - oohooh
I could never belong to you -ooh ooh
I could never belong to you -ooh ooh

El mas viejo de mis recuerdos

De globitos y soles

No hay duda que hay días

en los que siento que todo está al revés.

En los que me siento desconectado

de todo y de todos.

En los que ni yo entiendo como fue

que llegué a donde estoy en estos momentos.

Recordando, reviviendo viejas memorias

me encontré con archivos de mi pasado.

Entre fotografías, cartas y recomendaciones,

me vino una etapa que aunque recordaba

no me pareció importante en su momento.

Los que me conocen saben que mi etapa puberta

no fue la más fácil.

Problemas por aquí y por allá

terminaron por enviarme a consultar a un loquero.

De las cosas útiles que me dejó,

sin miedo a sonar melodramático,

fue ese ejercicio absurdo y cliché

de los globos que cubren el brillante sol.

Dejar ir los globos en su momento era divertido,

ver como esa nube gris que me cubría no era

otra cosa que mis propios miedos y frustraciones.

Hoy, 12 años después,

descubrí que aún quedan globos flotando sobre mi.

Así que decidí volver a ese consultorio verde y sombrío

en un cuarto piso, me senté en esa silla incómoda

y sin mas ni más, dejé ir los mentados globos

bloqueadores de luz y felicidad.

No se si vaya a funcionar,

así que mientras encuentro

a otro globero de plaza

que me venda una docena a mitad de precio

me echaré al sol.

Back to basics

Oficialmente he vuelto a la realidad.

Temporal o Permanente

Solo el tiempo lo dirá.

en el Limbo

He vuelto, pero no estoy

Me he ido, pero sigo aquí

He terminado, pero aún no empiezo

Objects in mirror are closer than they appear

These really are words of wisdom

I would like to be closer of many things, but since it is not possible

I am content to see them, even if I have to do it using a mirror.

control.velocidad
...si pudiéramos controlar todo en esta vida que chido sería, pero no...
así que tenemos que aprender a ceder de vez en vez, eso no es tan malo,

solo hay que saber cuando debemos dejarnos llevar velocidad....

Shameless Product Placement of the Day

Un articulo publicado en The Guardian en 2009 que habla de esa maravilla que es spotify.

This could well be the year when the wider public decides that online streaming is the best way to consume music. After all, why spend time and money on CDs or downloads, when you can instantly stream that same music for free via your computer or, increasingly, your mobile phone? And if one service is going to provide that tipping point, it'sSpotify.com

Their application looks and works much like iTunes. The big difference is that Spotify gives you instant, legal access to millions of tracks without any charge. With all the big labels signed up, there's an astonishing range of albums available to hear in full; be it David Bowie's Hunky Dory, Nirvana's Nevermind, Tricky's Maxinquaye or every one of the UK's Top 10 bestselling albums of 2008. The Swedish boffins behind the site have even eradicated buffering; everything plays immediately. Before long, you'll find yourself using Spotify to listen to albums you own on CD, just because it's much easier.

What's the catch? Well, the free version of Spotify is supported by advertising, but you'll only hear one brief ad every 20-25 minutes (they all seem to be for government services at the moment). If these prove too annoying, you have the option of paying £10 a month, or £100 a year, to become a premium member and lose the ads. The only obstacle is that you need an invite to sign up for Spotify's free service. But, handily, it is currently offering a temporary registration link for UK users at tinyurl.com/spotifylink. We are among the first places to have access to the service; the web is full of postings from aggrieved American bloggers desperate to access it.

Some major acts have seemingly refused to have their material added: there is nothing on Spotify by the Beatles or Pink Floyd, and only a handful of tracks by Oasis and the Arctic Monkeys. But they're in the minority. Many acts have made available their entire back catalogues, including Madonna, U2, Coldplay, Eminem, Green Day and Stevie Wonder (Spotify hosts well over 1,000 Stevie tracks).

If you find yourself in need of inspiration, you can browse charts of the most popular tracks and artists in all Spotify-served countries (Estonia loves metal and the KLF). Alternatively, head to spotifyfriends.com, where you can check out other users' playlists and click to hear them in your player. Or simply click on Radio within Spotify, select a decade and genre and let it pick the tunes. However you choose to use the service, prepare to be impressed.
