1979-2009
_Tienes to write something, your blog and am sorry. Patricia told me a few months ago. _No
know what to write ... well, the truth that I have issues, but I decide that I have not time.
_Que Not have time? At least you should let that rare mix of Stieg Larsson, Roberto Saviano, the Boris Izaguirre and Mishima. Read all at the same time is crazy. How many times have you read to Larsson so far this year? You're going to drain the brain ... and write something, at least.
For a moment I thought he was right, I take several months to not loose the work of Larsson, the three novels I devoured in hours. And reread the first two and I'm coming for the proofreading of the third. Not to mention the other authors and the airport ...
Let's start.
I will be more than half of 2009. All years, how deep I am, gives us, among its pages, lots of features. A bunch of blank pages to write on them what we want. It gives us the opportunity, and up, tear them to be thrown away with the words in our minds the " If you've seen ... or the memory!"
At the same time each day, every year, arriving with the stamp of the days spent. Dates memorable, forgettable dates, expected date, dates excusable, dates acquired or / and at the same time imposed.
In 2009, it made me interesting. A lot of possible things I have ever written in his hours, unable to write even a comma. Should write, for example, over the 200 years since the birth of Charles Robert Darwin and 150 of its "The Origin of Species should not wait any longer ... because I think you can not get to write something when you meet the 250. Life is perfect and I do not think I see. I'm not a genius when he wrote that the world changed radically since Freud and Carlitos, Marx, did what they did.
also, and living in Geneva is completely inexcusable, should write "little something" about John Calvin. Met 500 years of birth and everything that came after him. It occurs to me, as taken on the fly, make a technical touch to the work of Max Weber - The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism- and the result would be the height of arrogance, a wonderful analysis proud of the global crisis we suffer today.
few drops of what American would not hurt in all this, considering that American society is a mixture of Darwinism social and Calvinist church. A natural selection as the success we add or failure is predestined gives us, as a result, "wild capitalism" in its pure state . In "Together States" , and he who is without sin, Calvinism-Puritanism to be more hard and dry, along with Darwinism is that they are justified, I can think of the market laws.
things Darwin Connect with Calvin to finish with a loud self-promotion, and take out his tongue to my friends economists. It would be a wonderful writing ... the truth?
But no, the 2009 is little round in a matter of topics for writing. The fifty years of " Cuban Revolution" and my photographs "in situ" , 200 the birth of the fabulous world of Edgar Allan Poe, 200 years after Handel's death, 200 the birth of the sound of Mendelssohn , the 100 years of the first leg of Albéniz, the 150 years of this wonderful institution called "The Red Cross." 30 years of the departure of Reza Pahlavi, and all that it has been implicated in the oil world. The same 30 years the crown, no crown, of Thatcher. 30 years, yes, there has been 30 years, with the coronation crown-of Maritza Sayalero as the first Miss Universe, Venezuelan. The other 30 of the coming to power of the Sandinista Front ..., 40 years pisadita Armstrong on the moon ...
Finally, issues as for all tastes ...
Today marks 30 years that a group of children dressed up to take a diploma. A diploma that crowned the efforts of five years of study. 30 years of wind-blown seeds and are now a bunch of glorious bellies, of professionals, proud bald, collections of divorces, marriages, honest gentlemen, some corrupt, in the good and bad sense of the concept, "of exquisite parents , of gentlemen with children and even grandchildren.
multiple memories 30 years in sales and wholesale. known 30-year history of shared secrets. 30 years without Alegre morning that talks about you ... ", 30 years of football games, 30 years of not kneeling on the asphalt playing baseball, 30 years up and down those stairs, 30 years of green columns .
afternoon 30 years of rain, scorching heat, the endless masses ...
are 30 years of foreign roads, crossroads, long dreams, some nightmares, laughter and tears. Although we have not seen some more, some pages are forgotten, some are black and white images, photos they lose their color and become diffuse.
30 years of children sitting in the stands watching the horizon, with eyes like soup plates, futuribles dreamed, 30 years ...
toast to you, for I too was part of those kids who sat in those stands.
For these and nothing, nothing and everything, thank you very much.
All the best for you.
NOTE: godfather in his cheesy graduation speech, all graduation speeches are corny, in its last sentence , citing 10 years of Apollo, said "I do not disappoint ..."
And I, with a view to giving the years, we answer. It is important not disappoint ourselves.
