and my nets of music are wide as the sky.
My soul is born on the shore of your eyes of mourning.
In your eyes of mourning the land of dreams begin. "

"You know, when I was in college, there was a big debate: Do unions raise wages? Well, with regard to industrial unions, there were arguments back and forth -- international competition. It is now clear, I think, that whether or not you think unions raised wages 50 years ago, the absence of unions and their weakness that is inflicted by anti-union public policy depresses wages. The fact is that people who are not represented, in the service industries in particular, are the victims of policies which depress their wages"

BARNEY FRANK, speech, Jan. 3, 2007

Poema 18.
20 poemas de amor y una canción desesperada.
Pablo Neruda

Aquí te amo.
En los oscuros pinos se desenreda el viento.
Fosforece la luna sobre las aguas errantes.
Andan días iguales persiguiéndose.

Se desciñe la niebla en danzantes figuras.
Una gaviota de plata se descuelga del ocaso.
A veces una vela. Altas, altas estrellas.

O la cruz negra de un barco.
Solo.
A veces amanezco, y hasta mi alma está húmeda.
Suena, resuena el mar lejano.
Este es un puerto.
Aquí te amo.

Aquí te amo y en vano te oculta el horizonte.
Te estoy amando aún entre estas frías cosas.
A veces van mis besos en esos barcos graves,
que corren por el mar hacia donde no llegan.

Ya me veo olvidado como estas viejas anclas.
Son más tristes los muelles cuando atraca la tarde.
Se fatiga mi vida inútilmente hambrienta.
Amo lo que no tengo. Estás tú tan distante.

Mi hastío forcejea con los lentos crepúsculos.
Pero la noche llega y comienza a cantarme.
La luna hace girar su rodaje de sueño.

Me miran con tus ojos las estrellas más grandes.
Y como yo te amo, los pinos en el viento, quieren cantar tu nombre con sus hojas de alambre.

Miss Scarlett · 02-26-2011, 08:12 AM

Anger is the real destroyer of our good human qualities;
an enemy with a weapon cannot destroy these qualities,
but anger can.

Anger is our real enemy.

The Dalai Lama

Miss Scarlett · 02-26-2011, 08:43 AM

Because we all share this planet earth,
we have to learn to live in harmony and peace with each other and with nature.
This is not just a dream, but a necessity.

The Dalai Lama

People... they don't write anymore - they blog. Instead of talking, they text, no punctuation, no grammar: LOL this
and LMFAO that. You know, it just seems to me it's just a bunch of stupid people pseudo-communicating with
a bunch of other stupid people in a proto-language that resembles more what cavemen used to speak than the
King's English.

- Hank Moody, Californication
