El Desdeo de la Continuidad

“El Deseo de continuidad… lleva al Presidente a buscar un sucesor que no lo amenace mientras está en el cargo, de ahí, que éste no sea, necesariamente, el l+ider m+as capaz y atractivo.”
- ¿Pero que pasa cuando este “sucesor” es electo popularmente?
- No favorece una reelección y si algo evita su seguridad.

Ignorance

It is the eye of ignorance that assigns a fixed and unchangeable color to every object; beware of this stumbling block.

Sporadic Thought #2

So I saw this on another blog; and thought why would I just not rip it off and sort of post from there. So, I’ll proceed to further analyzing the image to your left. So one day I saw Tiung and Alex just sort of getting on and I was like “oh, thats cool, they make a cute couple” but then remember that Tiung’s husband an expert martial arts with a major in “owning a load of ninja spikes, swords, bamboo sticks and others” So they went off and I guess they sort of went to Tiung’s house, because, what the hell, the husband who is a martial arts expert with a major in owning a load of nija spikes, swords and bamboo sticks is in China buying a few more things. So I gave the a bottle of wine and told them to enjoy. So Alex goes off does his thing.. I havent heard from him since…. Any information concerning his health or whearabout will be greatly thanked.
On another, yet more serious note, winter has started here in the southern hemispheres, and well, it’s quite cold. You know, it’s always hard to pick a peculiar or more specific favorite season of the year, cause in summer you get bikinis, beaches and a really good time, and well vacations take place in summer really and thats when you can do the most. Winter its cold, and sad , trees are dead and its either raining or just… damn cold. But when it’s cold you have to look for the warmth, which just makes much more sense than not looking for it. I mean cause if your warma nd someone comes up to you and hugs you, your just … Allrite thanks for the hug, now get off, your sweating and smell bad. Yet in winter you remain with your smell, and the more hugs you accumulate the better you are. I really dont know where I’m headed with this blog, I just felt some sort of obligation to post a load of words; avoiding to study or do serious work, you know lazyness does beat you. I mean you may be productive doing something, and yet avoid everything despite the amout of work set beside the computer Im not even kidding when I say it has gathered dust.. I’m off to procrastinate and pimp up this blog, which, no one visits.

Abortion; its a subject of great discussion. Specially in Latin America, where if possible its a subject mostly avoided — a subject in which the majority of peoples vision diverges and finds no common ground. Considering that there is no legal abortion no matter the circumstances this leads to an outsourcing of illegal doctors who may or may not perform an abortion. Have in mind since this is an illegal act this means that the place where the act will take place is not esterelized and the materials/medicine to be used will carry some sort-of risk with them. I know this is few words to give to such a broad subject, but all I really want to get too, that abortion in Latin America is like playing highstake cards; you never know what your getting yourself into, and the majority of times you wont get the winning hand.
I promise to write further on this subject during the week for now, Ill just relax for a few minutes…

Its so hard to write my condolences being in the southest point of the hemisphere and knowing little or nothing of the experience that thousands are going through. But I have realized I’m not alone and joining me are thousands, and I literally mean thousands of people who join the cause to remember those who have passed away. On this note, I’d like to point out that the media has allowed us to stay farther intricate in our communication. This if at anything relates to the topic, to allow the international community to demonstrate that despite any dogma or prejudice; we stand by VT, even if in words, videoblogs or in our personal space of text in the web, we are here. One example are but the hundreds of groups formed at Facebook.com within the last few two days, with already roaring hundreds of thousand members. My condolescences from the farthest point south, and just letting you all know — moments like these is when a good base of friends and people you can share information, memories and grief.
So go out, make memories for those who perished, let their smiles live on. Let them be remembered by the world, since they will never be forgotten by you.
