Last day of trainning, last social experiment

Imagine you're in a trainning course where you have to sit for about 7 hours per day in a dark room, listening to other people's talks for 5 days in a row.
Now, imagine outside that room there are 4 nice nesspr3sso machines where people can go and take coffees for free.
Experiment: what happens if, in the last day without prior notice, they cut the coffee supply?

is it still possible to live without internet?

this week I am sitting in a training on the border of lac divonne.
the problem is that internet is only available during lunch time...
as you can imagine all these freaks I hang out with at work (me inluded) start going nervous..

tiger the lion

last week, following miguel suggestion, i went to teatre alhambra to see tiger the lion
Great surprise! this band has a very nice relaxing vibe that almost take us through an imaginary storytelling world. The singer voice reminds me of Nizlopi, but this time instead of being accompanied by a contrabass, there is indian tabla and a japaneese kazuma' s guitar. ..weird?...but it works perfectly.

my advice: definetly 'a suivre'

on economic crisis

I have to be honest and say that I admire this economic crisis.

people have so much respect for it that it is easy to find news titles like:
"Global financial crisis spills over China's labor market"
"Financial crisis hits China's auto exports"
"Economic Crisis Creates Positive Spin-Off for Agriculture"
"Financial crisis makes climate change plan too costly"
"The global crisis has officially arrived in Russia"
"Financial crisis hits U.S. snowboarders"....?wtf?
and the list goes on and on...

it became such a popular hit on the news that we no longer speak about 'it' but instead we started speaking about 'Her'.

Is this crisis the female version of God?
come on, its easy to be confused...She is everywhere, just like Him.
Some say that she only exists because we say she exists

and.... because she destroys every men's pocket!

spanish nights

my friend javier told me that one of the best places to go out in spain is a town called salamanca.
he told me that in salamanca there are lots of students and some bars are open till 2am, then close, then re-open at 5am. some other bars are open till 5am.

"so basically, one can go out for 48h, Every day!!!"

hmm... that seems a little too much

on global warming

3 days ago i watched, Al Gore speech at AAAS
http://www.aaas.org/meetings/2009/program/lectures/media/gore.ram
I invite you to see at least between 19min and 48mim.
It is a simple presentation about a very complex problem: the very rapid climate change of our planet, which by some reason we tend to postpone our awareness to.
some interesting points:
-the 10 hottest years in the atmospheric records going back 160 happened in the last 11 years!!
-there is also another interesting plot about weather related disasters, and its undeniable the astonishing increase in the last 50 years of industrialized era.

he concludes saying that we have everything we need to save our world except for political will. (but that political will is a renewable resource)

today I read that a sector of 14000 km^2 of ice got loose from Antarctica and that last year was the one with biggest ice melting ever registered.

whats next?!

Keziah Jones

Yesterday I went to a Keziah Jones concert in thonex.
Keziah is a singer, song writter and guitar player and his band has only 3 elements: Him, the bass and the drums.His style is called Blufunck (a fusion between Blues & funk), but what is unique is his super-pure-blood strong energy, unique guitar playing technique, and wide range tone voice.
He managed to cheer up the atmosphere just in a few minutes and played for about 1h30.
A few times he went back to old songs, my favorite:"Million Miles From Home" which was in fact the first song i ever heard from him. At the end he also did a few covers of Jimmy Hendrix, Bob Marley and James Brown.



It was fun.

first post

I just need to explain what this is all about.
Trying to make it simple, its my way of seeing common things.
Sometimes moving through time, some others moving through space.
Most of the times just wasting some time.
enjoy and leave me your comment
