Climate Changing for the Olympics

There's no doubt that every single chinesse live by tha code their country has dictated for centuries. Pround, Strong... Stubborn.

As they are hosting the 2008' s Olympics, they not only want to look like a new world lider, but want to show the world their displeasure with nature. China is the greater oppositor of a Anti-Global Warming Plan... and now, for the opening and closeur of the Olympics, they plan to prevent from raining. Simple no?

As they can see in the future (suckers) they know that on both days it's gonna rain heavily in the area, so they'll fire a couple of missiles that will clear the sky from clouds... even though they already have one of the most polluted cities in the world, Beijing, where the games will be hosted.

They just don't get that messing with nature has take us to where we are!!!

I guess their insect-like life has made them believe that after world's end there'll be only cockroaches and chinesse... (i know, i know) I really don't have anything against any specific chinesse... it's just that they pollicies and easy-going laws and applications will really mess it all. If they were (as a country... not as individuals) a tiny country, such a pollicies would really mean a little harm to our world... but they are the single largest country in the world!!!... where the concentration of population is way far from any other country!!!.... where if every single chinesse would toss a single piece of garbage in the street one day, would pollute more than most of the european countries in a week...

PS. I love China... their cultural history, their achievements... but as funny as it may sound.... PLEASE!!!... open you eyes!!!

Brasil, otro avión, otras 200 vidas perdidas.

Un vuelo nacional de Brasil chocó ayer en el aeropuerto de Sao Paulo al intentar aterrizar en una pista mojada. El piloto notó que ya no podía frenar el avión e intentó elevarlo de nuevo.

El avión se salió de la pista, del aeropuerto y fue a dar a una calle bastante transitada y finalmente a una gasolinera y un almacen. 186 personas iban en el vuelo... mas las personas que tuvieron la mala fortuna de pasar por ahí en ese instante. Tres personas de la calle fueron llevadas al hospital y fallecieron (las tres) unas horas mas tarde.

El incendio duró varias horas y no hay ninguna esperanza de encontrar a alguien mas con vida.

Como es de esperarse, el aeropuero cerró los vuelos durante varias horas y un después de reabrir los vuelos, muchos pasajeros se reusaron a abordar.
Lo triste, es que este es el segundo avionazo en menos de un año en esa ciudad de Brasil. 155 personas murieron al chocar un avion comercial y un jet privado hace un par de meses.

A estas horas, los equipos de rescate se han convertido en levanta escombros y las victimas son puestas en congeladores para posterior examen forense... examen que buscará encontrar la identidad de las victimas por medio de sus dientes y joyas que pudieran haber llevado puestas.

Comunmente ante este tipo de accidentes, mi postura es simple... "vuelas, te puedes morir"... pero en este caso, la pista donde intentó aterrizar el avión estaba recien "rehabilitada" y muchas informes de hace un par de dias aseguraban que la pista no estaba en condiciones de recibir aviones bajo lluvia... obvio, el pavimento aun no se había acentado del todo y la lluvia producía que se enlodara... pinche política... pinche economía... el permitir una docena de vuelos mas al día nos acaba de costar 200 vidas inocentes.

... realmente me siento mal.......... de imaginar.... de ponerme en su lugar..... en el lugar de sus familias.... en el lugar de un ciudadano de Sao Paulo que no podrá dormir tranquilo sabiendo que su pinche gobierno prefiere un par de dolares mas a la vida de cualquiera de los que ahí habita...

shit... feel like crying.... better go

Let Down

Transport, motorways and tramlines,
starting and then stopping,
taking off and landing,
the emptiest of feelings,
disappointed people, clinging on to bottles,
and when it comes it's so, so, disappointing.

Let down and hanging around,
crushed like a bug in the ground.
Let down and hanging around.

Shell smashed, juices flowing
wings twitch, legs are going,
don't get sentimental,
it always ends up drivel.
One day, I am gonna grow wings,
a chemical reaction,
hysterical and useless
hysterical and

let down and hanging around,
crushed like a bug in the ground.
Let down and hanging around.

Let down,
Let down,
Let down.

You know, you know where you are with,
you know where you are with,
floor collapsing, falling, bouncing back
and one day, I am gonna grow wings,
a chemical reaction, [You know where you are,]
hysterical and useless [you know where you are,]
hysterical and [you know where you are,]

let down and hanging around,
crushed like a bug in the ground.
Let down and hanging around.

Squirt Dementia

As you might imagine, as I wrote "squirt" on every search engine looking for the logo of the soda, I found each and every single image of female eyaculation in this planet :S ... so, instead of searching images I searched on the web... and this page really caught my attention... www.squirtpage.com

Shit!!!!.. you really gotta be fucked up in the head to dedicate a site to something that stupid!!!
...any way... check it.

The main line if this story: The soda companies never ever upload their logos to the web, there are too many people in this world with nothing to do and don't ever call a soda the same as an adult theme xxx issue... even if it has more than 50 years in the market. Cadbury... you're in troubles.

El tiempo no pasa en vano...

Muchos años despues... una vida después... puedo decir que nada se ha perdido...
Solo un poco de cabello, condición física, memoria y cordura... de ahí en fuera... que gusto haber estado con ustedes dos el día de hoy.

Kukulkan

The legend tells that he came from the warm waters of the east, flying through the night and enlighting the souls and minds of our people in the time we needed him the most.

Wind of green filled the sky, the Bright Star -Lamat, Venus- shined up in the sky; the red and gold of the Quetzal blinded our eyes, while our hearts became one with the soul of the Feathered Serpent: Kukulkan.

Uyamal

Buenas noches mi amor,
que sueñes con plumas verdes y doradas,
con dioses y hechiceros,
con princesas convertidas en flores
y sus guerreros que las cuidan,
con templos y ciudades
y con una vida que vamos a encontrar.

Funny Transformers TV Spot

Atlantis / Tenochtitlan

Como bien saben, he estudiado ampliamente la cultura maya lo cual me ha llevado inevitablemente a estudiar a las demás culturas mesoamericanas. Entre ellas, Tenochtitlan capital del imperio azteca.
Entre tanto mistisismo y ocultismo que este tema conlleva, llegué a estudiar a Tesla (tema para otro ensayo) lo que me llevó a Atlantis.

Todo lo que se diga sobre esta civilización perdida nunca estará a la altura de lo que el misterio por si mismo encierra, pero aun así nos ha facinado por milenios. Entre otras cosas, ha alimentado la imaginación de miles de artistas, quienes basandoce en los dialogos de Platón han ilustrado con lujo de detalle la supuesta ciudad de Atlantis (ó Poseida). Y fué una de estas ilusstraciones la que me llevó a conjeturar un poco mas de lo normal sobre el tema.





La primer ilustración corresponde a una apreciación artística de Atlantis según Platón, la segunda a una apreciación del mismo estilo de Tenochtitlan según fuentes españolas y en la última, un mapa de la época de la colonia. En todas ellas vemos lo mismo: Un conjunto de palacios amurallados en el epicentro y varios circulos de construcciones alrededor. Toda la ciudad se encuentra rodeada por agua de un lago y para entrar es necesario el uso de canoas o puentes. El problema es que Tenochtitlan si existió.

Estas similitudes puedan parecer circunstanciales, pero explorando mas los textos de Platón, él narra que la Atlantis estaba rodeada por agua, que la ciudad era una fortaleza y que estaba pintada de cuatro colores característicos según el uso ó la ubicación del edificio... y esa precisamente tambien era una costumbre mesoamericana. Cada punto cardinal tenía un color distintivo y las ciudades eran pintadas en su totalidad en estos colores.
La principal oposición es que Tenochtitlan se fundó milenios después de la supuesta desaparición de Atlantis, pero recordemos que Teotihuacán es una ciudad milenaria de la cual no sabemos nada y que se ha demostrado que también estaba pintada de colores en su época dorada.

Con esto no quiero decir que Platón haya viajado a América (además de la América del futuro) y visto Tenochtitlan y la haya nombrado Poseida... por la cantidad de agua alrededor) pero esa construcción atlante bien pudo haber sido reutilizada ó reinterpretada por arquitectos mexicas varios siglos después.

Este tipo de teorias son ampliamente aceptadas, ya que hay elementos lingüisticos y culturales (como palabras, estilos pictóricos y arquitectónicos y filosofía religiosa) que coinciden en culturas de América, Africa, Medio Oriente, Asia e inclusive la alta Europa. Esto lleva a pensar que un origen común no es tan descabellado. Toda cultura rica en historia mitológica narra la destrucción del mundo por una inundación global y de como los sobrevivientes se "embarcaron" en tecnología de punta para salvarse migrando a otras partes del mundo.

Ya se como suena esto. En su momento yo también me sentí un poco mal por pensar en teorias tan radicales, pero considera un momento esto: Hoy el mundo se acaba. De la noche a la mañana se destruye todo rastro de nuestra civilización. Los sobrevivientes serían un puñado de personas en un avión, un barco... hasta en un trasnbordador espacial. Regresan a poblar el desolado panorama... ¿Y qué queda? Una humanidad desde cero, con nada mas que el limitado conocimiento individual para volver a forjar grandes naciones. Los niños que nazcan o crescan en ese mundo, ¿Qué historias oirán? ¿Sobre hombres en la luna, bajo el mar, moviendose a la velocidad del sonido, hablando de genes y química, curando enfermedades con un simple frasco... construyendo torres que llegan hasta el cielo? Para mi, eso suena a cualquier mitología relacionada a cualquier dios. ¿Podrían nuestros dioses ser nosotros mismo en una época pasada, parcialmente olvidada debido a un cataclismo? Yo digo que muy posiblemente y este es un tema que me propongo estudiar y analisar poco a poco, subiendo mis conclusiones y fuentes a este blog... ya que realmente hay mucha tela de donde cortar...

Midnight Baseball

Yesterday, at the summer solstice, the Earth inclined to it's most showing the north pole to the sun. That's why yesterday never went night in Alaska... and how do people there celebrate this?... By playing baseball at midnight! Sound cool isn't it... but imagine (you tropical people) what does it feel to be so god damn tired at midnight but feel it like if it were mid day... ???

I leave a note here, with more photos... for it is really cool to see the amount of light (and heat) at midnight.

Coolest TV Commercials EVER!!...

Here are some tv ad's that I loved since the very first time I watched 'em... enjoy.

Mars had water

In a sort of official announcemet, NASA scientist have declared that there's evidence that at least one third of martian soil was once an ocean bottom.

This is being a subject long ago discussed, that really came to attention when the Mars' Rovers got to analyse real martian ground samples. But the fact that make this scientist turn to this conclution is that there are visible shorelines near the ecuator. But this massive oceans (it's believed that there were at least to of them) weren't just near the ecuator. Some research has brought the idea that this oceans were visible like a billion years ago, so, the planet has deformed because of it's gravity force making his cliffs and shorelines more "edgy" near the poles.

This have kindda sense. Now the question turns to "where's all that water?" for that amount of water is unlikely to have vapored into space and if it is inside the planet, the density scans on that planet should've told us already that it is there.

A big step, no doubt, for understanding how that planet became what it is today means we can try not to take our little planet to the same level... just imagine, what if Mars' water didn't dry... what if someone took it all... waste it, burned it...

(Don't get any) Big Ideas

Don't get any big ideas
They're not gonna happen
You paint your house white and feel the noise
But there'll be something missing

And now that you found it, it's gone
Now that you feel it, you don't
You've gone off the rail

She stands stark naked and she beckons you to bed
Don't go you'll only want to come back again

So don't get any big ideas
They're not gonna happen
You'll go to hell for what your dirty mind is thinking

And now that you found it, it's gone
And now that you feel it, you don't
You've gone off the rail

A new Cold War?

The G-8 in now in Germany. The main subject to discuss is the Global Warming, but it seems that Mr. Bush is (once again) far more interested in war. During this sessions, Rusia (being a "guest" among the other 8) has declared that they are not pleased at all with US placing missiles on European ground, specially so close to them. This "Missile Shield" US is setting, serves as a defence againts a possible middle east attack, specially since Iran has not yet granted access to the UN to check their Nuclear Weapons Program. But we all know missiles didn't born like a defensive system, and that's why russiand are all freaked out.

So, as a result, Russia has now announced that they'll set another defense system, and China is following them. This actions have just brought back the felling of a Cold War. I mean, the US sets a defense system, Russia and China do the same, now US have to respond to it with a better "anti-defense" system... and so on.
Bush is playing nice now, saying Mr. Putin is actually and allied and that this tension is only because of a difference between the two countries. Wish I could hear Putin's words abou that, specially since the Anti-USA felling has been growing in Asia and Europe.


Once again, it's a shame that we might very well be facing the end of mankind as we know it because of Global Warming, and our leaders are finding way to stab each other on the back.
Fuck pollitics.

Celulas Madre como tratamiento para la Ceguera

Un grupo de científicos ingleses, planea realizar la primer implantación de celulas embrionarias en un ojo humano para rehabilitar las funciones visuales. La enfermedad degenerativa AMD produce una "capa" sobre las celulas que reciben la información luminosa, por lo cual la visión se reduce. Esta enfermedad aqueja principalmente a personas mayores y el proposito de esta operación es logar un procedimiento cotidiano en el cual en un máximo de 45 minutos y con anestesia local se pueda devolver la vista.

Como es de esperarse, el debate ya ha comenzado sobre el tema, ya que los grupos que están en contra del uso de Celulas Madre de embriones protestan por popularizar un procedimiento como este. Ve la nota aquí.

Planetary Night

Last night, as I was arriving home, I remembered that the moon was full that night. I searched for her and when I found it I saw there was a planet beside her. Thought it was Venus, but I remembered that Venus did "stood" by the moon but on may 20th... so it couldn't be. As I arrived, I spotted Venus, very big and bright, to the west... therefore, the other planet got to be Jupiter... Saturn being in luck.

I ran up stairs and talked by dad to get the telescope and find out. We first locked Venus, for it was getting pretty close (and fast) to the horizon. Being honest, our telescope ain't much of a thing... (but it does have a telescope/cpu interaction... with some software I haven't even loaded... :P) so fixxing on a planet is really hard, but last night I did. After chasing Venus for a while, I locked it with the weakest of our lenses and little by little I switched to the biggest of them. Fot the first time, I got to se craters on Venus surface. It looks kind like the moon, but blueish... and far more death. The funny thing was that being too close to Earth, it really move too fast.

Once we saw Venus, we radically change the view to the East-Southeast where the so far Unknown planet and the Moon were.
Well, if Venus was hard too spot.. this planet really made it almost impossible. But after almos 15 minutes (which in sky observation is a lifetime) I got to lock it. One bright planet and four gorgeously aligned moons. Jupiter.... quite and spectacle. Seeing this so far away planet, as if it where a half moon... with those tiny half moon around it. Perfectly aligned, in 45° counter clockwise from the planet.

As it was late, we decided we would just take a glanze of the moon... And I must say that for me, there's nothing more peaceful that seeing this gorgeous being in a telescope... each sea... each crater... I even focused a specific crater, so I could see the details within it.

I feel kindda weird still... it's an expirience that feels so right, so natural...
