Mis sueños sin sentido me restregan en mi cara mis deseos, adicciones y vicios más intensos. Nunca han aportado nada, excepto un exceso de preocupación.
No tengo constancia: hoy digo que no hablo y que tendré más enemigos, pero mañana me pongo parlanchín, amistoso, risueño… aunque también río por no llorar.
Actualmente me están llegando decenas de pensamientos como si fueran la última coca-cola del desierto, sin embargo, anteriormente ya los había pensado a todos.
¿Por qué tiemblo como si fuera un caso de vida o muerte, como si mi existencia dependiera de ello? Ni que fueran a matarme con un cuchillo, una pistola, o lo que sea que fuere. Además, tampoco soy un asunto tan importante para ese ser viviente… temblé, tiemblo, temblaré, y volveré a temblar.
Debo de aprender a caminar en terreno desconocido. Mucha gente quiere vender el hecho de que estaban 100% seguros desde el principio de que iban a llegar a la meta. Sólo hay que preguntarle a los corredores olímpicos de campo y pista antes de que comience la carrera que tan seguros se sienten de ganar.
Todo es probar como funciona una cosa hasta que funcione como queremos, o no. Y luego de esto probar otra cosa, y así seguir probando hasta que no podamos más.
Madurar es no volverle a mencionar a nadie las cosas que te han pasado que quieres que vuelvan a pasar y por alguna razón no puedes hacer que pasen.
Si en el pasado tuve una idea, no puedo reproducirla ni de forma rápida ni precisa. Constantemente fallo en la premisa de que "saber es recordar a tiempo"; sin embargo, puedo fácilmente encontrar a quienes defiendan que "una idea grandiosa que sea implementada parcialmente es muchas veces mejor que una que nunca vea la luz del día."
En mi vida, nada de lo que deseo viene hacia mí. Tengo que esforzarme lo más que pueda para buscarlo, y cuando lo encuentro, no es exactamente lo que esperaba.
"Caminante, no hay camino. Se hace camino al andar." Yo siempre quiero tratar de predecir mi vida, pero siempre olvido que mi vida es impredecible por naturaleza. Cada vez que siento estar en situaciones que parecen no tener solución, casi siempre es que me hace falta una buena tanda de intento y error.

Trash
[Thu, Jun 9, 2011 08:56:55]
Yesterday, people threw trash all over the "Carretera de la Victoria" as a sign of protest for the big delay of garbage collecting.
The entrance path to my house is full of litter. At first, I was trying to take a snapshot of it, and use it as a joke. My plan was to tweet this photo with the message: "Check how the entrance to my house looks"
Sometimes I don't like to take photos because, from time to time, snapshots
can be intrusive. But in this case "I thought" it would be an *inofensive* photo... But right at the moment I take that snapshot, a taxi driver passed and shouted:
"He should be cleaning the mess, instead of taking photos. He is problably one of the first people that throws trash there."
Why on earth should I fix that mess? Will people pay me enough for that? That is Municipality's work. Part of our taxes are destined to keep streets clean; but what I can really do is to denounce that disaster.
"I don't mind if they cry for it. In the long run, they will love it, even if they don't give me merit for it." I would like to remind the right context in which I heard that quote. Maybe it was in a movie...
The internet is a technology full of publishing power. An example of a great program, ambition, or project could be to organize people/humanity into a critical mass and non-stopping force, capable of taking its own decision. Although there will always exist unsatisfied people. Many people still believe that internet is fashion, or fad. But we all have heard about how internet is helping people to denounce Gadaffi, haven't we? By analogy, I believe that some time in history, writing was simply perceived as nonsensical modeling, sketchs or scribbles, and mailing was not seem reliable, but then, encryption was born...
PS: I grabbed a photo of that taxi driver in my first attempt, but because of my impulse/instinct, I erased it and threw another one. I even said "You, yourself, screwed up my photo!", but now I know it was perfect... After I started to write this post, I noticed my wrong mistake. Some things work the best in the first attempt.
PSS: the entrance has been cleaned on Mon, Jun 13, 2011.

Crybabies get breastfed
In my country there is a saying that goes this way: "If you don't cry, you won't be breastfed."
You have your needs. Your "parents" have their duties. But still you have to cry in order to get what belongs to you.
"Gluttons" can cry only for the sake of being breastfed. Sometimes they even aren't hungry at all.
And that is how our society is. I'm not talking about those situations in which resources are scarce. I say it because this is the common excuse: "We have not enough to give."
One good alternative could be self-service, but that's when battles and wars get into this situation.
Those who must serve meals, either have their own needs, or are gluttons. Some of those "mice" achieve those positions by making promises and compromises. And how do you think they "try" to satisfy those promises? That's right! With us: those who, either for duty or for the love of life, don't cry.
There's nothing to do. This is a jungle made of cement. Survive!

¿Klk, fuerte? ¡Ahí si que hay dinero!
Estaba revisando la lista de saludos (o lisonjas) que me molestan:
¿A qué se debe este fenómeno? ¿Se quieren burlar de tí, pero ética y moralmente no deben? ¿Piensan que eres un mal agradecido por no compartir tus activos, sean materiales o intelectuales? ¿Te ven como una competencia a la cual desean poder igualar o superar? ¿O es acaso un "simple" e "inofensivo" saludo, o un "cumplido"?
Estas son de las situaciones en las que no sé como responder. Pero solo una cosa sí está clara en cada uno de esos "saludos": No importa a quien se lo digas, nadie se cree tan fuerte, o tan verdugo o tan rico. Es decir, que estos dichosos saludos o cumplidos también tienen su porcentaje de mentira.
Veo mucha gente que se queja y se molesta de la gente que "mete cuentos"; no obstante, parecieran que les encanta escuchar historias de fantasias. Ya no basta con leerlas en los libros, contarlas en los cuentos, verlas en los teatros, u observarlas en las pantallas: ahora pareciera que quieren palparlas en la vida real. La gente siempre quiere evolucionar los sueños y las ideas a la realidad.
Detroit Metal City: "Si no hay musica, no hay sueños"
La gente tiende a querer que sus ideas, pensamientos o sueños más agradables se hagan realidad, ya sea que estén consciente de ello o no. Quizás esto sea una constante del universo. Conclusiones como las que muestra la fisica cuántica, como por ejemplo, que un átomo está compuesto en más de un 99.9% por espacio vacio; o que toda particula se desintegra con el paso del tiempo, aún sabiendo que la materia ni se crea ni se destruye, sino que se transforma; o que el punto de origen del universo fue un Big Bang y que existe la posibilidad de un Big Crunch; o que el universo se creó en seis dias, y la entidad que lo creó descansó en el séptimo... sólo estoy poniendo ejemplos de relatos que me parecieron fantásticos cuando los escuché por primera vez en mi vida.
Esta predisposicion de la gente de maravillarse por historias fántasticas me hace pensar que a la gente les gustan los cuentos, las fantasias. Me recuerda mi infancia, cuando veia las caricaturas de superhéroes, y me ponia a fantasear diciendo cosas como "Por el poder de Greiscol", o "Tonder, Tonder, Tonderca, oooo." Yo pensaba que sólo eran cosas de la niñez; sin embargo, de vez en cuando uno fantasea con cosas que cree que puede hacer en un futuro, como: "Lo primero que voy a hacer cuando llegue a USA es ir a DisneyLand", o quiza "Veré al Staples Center a ver un juego de Los Angeles Lakers" o "Compraré una boleta para ir al Yankee Stadium"; o cómo cuando por teléfono pides que te brinden un poco de lo que el receptor esté ingiriendo: Aún sean posibles, aún si uno está seguro de poder hacerlas, uno fantasea con esos momentos desea vivir, o en mi caso, con ese invento o idea que revolucionará al mundo, la cual todavía no tengo, pero algún día la tendré... ah, los sueños: me hacen sentir como un niño.
Pero percibo como el fenómeno del anti-héroe está tomando cada vez mas auge. Pareciera que la humanidad cada vez más renegara las "fantasias de buena moral" que (algunos) leímos cuando niños, y cada vez nos identificamos más con el chico malo que rompe los esquemas y las reglas, y se mofa de todo el mundo.
Ayer leí un post sobre una chica que se sentia chapada a la antigua, al referirse a los métodos de cortejos "tradicionales", como por ejemplo que le regalen flores. De modo analógico, yo me siento identificado con los superheroes buenos y moralistas que son lo suficientemente idiotas como para no saber cuando rendirse. Sin embargo, esos no son los superheroes modernos más populares actualmente. Yo me voy al extremo y diría que una película que tenga un personaje principal que haga todas las cosas que se dicen en la obra "El Principe" de Nicolás Maquiavelo, seria un BlockBuster que rompería records de venta.
¿Alguna vez has sentido la impotencia de no poder hacer que la gente crea tu verdad, tu situación, y que debido a esa incredulidad comienzan a poner mentiras en nuestra boca, o a adjudicarnos posiciones o situaciones en la que no estamos? En esos momentos en los que me siento tentado a responder con lo que considero "mi verdad", pero cuando analizamos el fenomeno del anti-heroe, la mayor parte de las veces a la gente no les interesa escuchar tu verdad. Quiza por consecuencia del mundo comercial, ya que cada quien vende su imagen a su conveniencia, o que la total honestidad cada vez vende menos.
En una situacion como la anterior, los receptores muestran mas interes en lo que dices, mientras más fantastico parezca. Y la forma mas facil de elaborar una respuesta fantastica es agregándole algo de engaño o falacia.
Tanto el cuento del rey que encarceló al clarividente que predijo que sus familiares morirían, O la historia bíblica de jose, al cual no le gustaba dar los malos presagios, ambas historias tienen la moraleja de que uno debe aprender a ocultar e ignorar ciertas verdades, y decorar las tragedias... Quizás se invente una rama de los idiomas que se conozca como Diseño Literario/Redactivo.
Los que han visto a "El Prestigio" recordarán la frase "deles el beneficio de la duda" o en The Matrix "no es lo mismo conocer el camino que recorrerlo". Particularmente me gusta "muestráles un poquito de luz", pero hasta eso es relativo. Es un problema, porque si alguien me pinta una idea demasiado positiva, pienso que me están vendiendo gato por liebre; y si me la pintan muy negativa, es porque me están afuereando para tomar todo el merito o beneficio, sacándome del negocio. Particularmente, a mi me gusta que me pongan a pensar, se me queme la única neurona que me queda.
Ya sabiendo que cada vez que digo lo que considero como mi "verdad" esto tiende a ser ignorado por no ser tan fántastico, me da una gran motivacion de mentir támbien, de seguirles la corriente, Recuerdo que en Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, dos niños ven un dibujo romántico hecho por unos compañeros de clase, y la niña dice:
"!Pasa de ello! Si lo negamos se pondrán más pesados."
Yo al ver esto pensé "¡¿WTF?! ¿Acaso la niña está enamorada del chico?" No: simplemente ella entiende el modus operandus de los lacayos.
Entonces es aquí cuando la gente priva en sicologo, en adivino, en clarividente, o en psíquico, y sienten que pueden leer la mente o descifrar todas las mentiras.
Esa situacion cada vez mas me motiva a mentir y seguirles la corriente, ya las otras alternativas son quejarme del saludo, o quedarme callado. No encuentro otra alternativa mas.
"Estas son las tres tristes fases de la verdad: primero es ridiculizada, luego recibe una fuerte oposición, y por último es aceptada como obvia." Arthur Schophenhauer
P.S.: no recordaba en cual capítulo de Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann la niña hizo el comentario. pero sabía que era cerca del final de la serie. Arrastré el 21, ¡Y ese era!
- dimelo fuerte
- klk bacano
- en que estas verdugo
- ahi si hay cuarto
- tu si vives bien
- que dice la gente del dinero
- los ricos no visitan a los pobres

Forces that move our Spheres
When I compare our interaction with feelings, I compare us human beings like spheres in a endless space, and the forces that move those spheres are our feelings.
I choose the analogy with a sphere because a sphere is less resistant of being movement. Even a tiny force can make it move.
I am always trying to control those forces that moves my sphere. I have learned that Concentration is focusing all your power towards a common point, and also that Meditation is not using your power at all, and so achieving a resting state.
Both Concentration and Meditation are susceptible of feelings. If your sphere is moved by any feeling, your Concentration aim is going to change its direction.
It is hard to make a precise location of a target, and also it is upsetting to re-target it after some external force has made it lose its calibration. And then, it generate a Force (feeling) that moves our Sphere even further from what it was aiming in the first place.
Feelings are good, and bad at the same time. Sometimes feelings keep us adding "improvements", and then it reach a point when it can make no sense. So, in the short term, it can be a great marketing and advertising technique; but in the long term, it is too risky that it can become a total waste of time, and even more if it becomes into "the real path for opulence." Let's check this example:
- To eat
- Something venomous or prejudicial?
- To eat something healthy
- Excessive eating?
- To eat something heathy, the right amount
- What about your family and friends?
- To eat something healthy, the right amount, and shared with your friends
- So, only family and friends need food. What about the whole world?
- To eat something healthy, the right amount, shared with friends, and the whole world
- But probably, there's not enough food for the whole world
- ...
So, if you keep adding things, sooner or later, you are going to reach a limit, or fall into a vice cycle. And no matter what you do, Forces (feelings) keeps appearing and moving our Spheres, either forward or backward. In this case, my goal is to define a goal good enough for me, and try to avoid those moving forces... but then, it comes suggestions, alternatives, improvements, et cetera.
The challenge then, is to define which is that exceptional Force that can make our Spheres to break those cycles and limits, and how to maximize Its generation and intensity. Some great people in the past have tried to give a name to that Force; nevertheless, that name is falling too short to it, nowadays.

Ya no se brinda una servicio bueno, sino uno ligeramente aceptable
(Iniciado el 2/11/2011 17:46:22)
Ya no se brinda una servicio bueno, sino uno aceptable.
Solo quieren vender!!
Una persona me llamó "masoquista" hace unos meses por pagar por los servicios de Claro. Ya lo estoy creyendo.
Mis quejas iniciales comenzaron cuando noté lo mucho que se me desconecta el servicio de internet. Al principio no había fallas (el inicial tiempo de romance siempre es bueno...), pero ahora hay descargas que no puedo hacer por la constante desconexion. Estoy buscando alternativas para ese problema; sin embargo, hay algo extra que me molesta mucho más: la confabulación del servicio al cliente.
Información imprecisa en ventanilla:
Villavizar escribió también sobre un caso que tuvo con Orange. Las telecomunicaciones tienen sus mañas, y parece que esa es la constante en toda empresa frente a todo lo que parezca costo, gasto, o pérdida, y muy similar a los gobiernos: exprimir al cuidadano.
Mi consuelo sería el cambio de proveedor, pero ya no tengo para donde cojer. Lo único que cae del cielo son limones, y a cambio de la piel! (cough, pellejo)

Al principio no había fallas (el inicial tiempo de romance siempre es bueno...), pero ahora hay descargas que no puedo hacer por la constante desconexion. Estoy buscando alternativas para ese problema; sin embargo, hay algo extra que me molesta mucho más: la confabulación del servicio al cliente.
Información imprecisa en ventanilla:
- El primer mes me dicen que el traspaso del fondo para la activación del servicio era automático, (aunque en el primer mes no lo hice asi). Deposito el pago del 2do mes, confiado en que se pasará automaticamente. Al otro día, no hay nada, ni balance ni servicio. Llamo y pregunto, y ahí me dan la terrible noticia de que tengo que llamar cada vez que vaya a reactivar mensualmente el servicio, sino se toma como saldo de navegación normal
- Migré a un plan con factura (creo que ese era su objetivo desde el principio, pero me dijeron que de esta manera resolveré mi problema con la recarga mensual... Ojalá!). Además informaron que me cobrarán un porciento extra debido a los días de uso, el cual no saben calcular por ventanilla. Especulo que pagaré el doble (y así me esconden la mala noticia hasta el día en donde no hay marcha atrás)
- "En el transcurso del día" es lo que me dicen que tengo que esperar, porque "el sistema esta presentando inconvenientes en este momento" ... (que bien!) Espero cinco horas antes de llamar al servicio al cliente, ¿y qué creen? Las tres llamadas ya fueron consumidas en lo del anterior problema del balance.
- Hace unos meses, en Megacentro, llamé desde un teléfono público, ya que había agotado mi límite de llamadas. La maniobra funcionó; no obstante, uno no siempre está en capacidad de pasear y moverse.
- No todo el mundo quiere esperar otro día para recibir respuesta de lo que hacen con el dinero que uno paga.
- "¿Límite de llamadas? Yo no sabía que había un límite para las llamadas al (809) 220-1111."
- "No es necesario pasar por ventanilla para conocer el status del servicio. Llame al (809) 220-1111 y enseguida le darán la información requerida."
- "Esa información no puedo darla por aquí. 'Comuníquese' con las oficinas principales." (Esta me recuerda a la recursión en programación... Una forma interesante de decirle al cliente que no $#!% tanto)

"C'est la vie": A lazy answer
"To keep open some doors you want to close, is as disgusting as to keep closed those doors you want to open."
Ignacio Cortorreal (If not, correct me)
"Why is hard to work?" Because "C'est la vie"? Because "it's the law"? If you love to answer this way, I will say you this: No! Wrong answer! When you respond in this way, you are trying to explain too much in less than three seconds. You are totally forgetting every possible possibility or exception, and when exceptions appear, the first answer it comes to mind is "That's another different thing.", which is partially good because, although exceptions could be complex, these exceptions also belong to the answer of the question "Why is hard to work?"
Sometimes we make mistakes. Some people think we should be punished, and others say that we deserve mercy, ourselves included. ;-D ... Although, I believe that the next three points should be analyzed before granting or denying mercy.
- Dad?
- Hmm?
- We're pals, right?
- Right.
- And we'll always be together, right?
- Simba, let me tell you something that my father told me: Look at the stars. The great kings of the past look down on us from those stars.
- Really?
- Yes.
- So whenever you feel alone, just remember that those kings will always be there to guide you. And so will I.
(Thanks to arkymedes for the subtitle)
Can you see how Mufasa answers that difficult question to Simba in The Lion King? That dialog could have happened this way, but in real life:
- Dad, will you always be with me?
- No
- Why
- Because everybody dies. I will, someday.
- You will die! Oh no! Why you have to die?
- Because "c'est la vie"
And then, Simba should start to blame God for the "erratic" way in which Life was created. But no! Instead, our little kid, now that he knows that "our life is temporary" and that "he will die someday", he starts to make other people suffer for his own profit, and then some subjects ask him "Why are you so mad?" Which could you think will be his answer? You are right: "c'est la vie!"
"Sometimes there are people who don't want to listen. But also, there are people who don't want to talk."
Ignacio Cortorreal (If not, correct me)
When I talk like this, I now see what Moses was trying to teach with those Ten Commandments. But, for some reason, people started to walk away from those Commandments, and now we see Zeal, Hatred, Envy, Anger everywhere. I can bet that it started when some disciples of Moses started to use "c'est la vie" or "that's the law" as an answer.
"The Ten Commandments are really good. The problem is that each one of Them have many exceptions. And every exception should be explained. If not, people could develop wrong explanations."
Ignacio Cortorreal (If not, correct me)
Do you remember those funny moments when kids start to ask these two lovely questions "What is that?" and "Why?" It gives me chills to think how the disposition to reach the bottom of any deep topic is hardwired inside the personality of each one of us. I believe that "You ask too much" is a devastating answer, but "I don't know" is a phrase that everyone says with shame... Life is really complex, but the funny part is that we can learn and enjoy many things.
"My destiny is my only enemy. Cuantas veces yo caí, pero proseguí.
A fuerza de golpes yo crecí, no debió de ser así,
pero le doy gracias al destino por todo lo que sufrí."

"Why is hard to work?" Because "C'est la vie"? Because "it's the law"? If you love to answer this way, I will say you this: No! Wrong answer! When you respond in this way, you are trying to explain too much in less than three seconds. You are totally forgetting every possible possibility or exception, and when exceptions appear, the first answer it comes to mind is "That's another different thing.", which is partially good because, although exceptions could be complex, these exceptions also belong to the answer of the question "Why is hard to work?"
Sometimes we make mistakes. Some people think we should be punished, and others say that we deserve mercy, ourselves included. ;-D ... Although, I believe that the next three points should be analyzed before granting or denying mercy.
- If you make mistakes without being adviced before, your mentor has part of the guilt.
- If you make mistakes after being adviced, the guilt belongs to you
- As we are human, we can be forgiven up to certain point
- Dad?
- Hmm?
- We're pals, right?
- Right.
- And we'll always be together, right?
- Simba, let me tell you something that my father told me: Look at the stars. The great kings of the past look down on us from those stars.
- Really?
- Yes.
- So whenever you feel alone, just remember that those kings will always be there to guide you. And so will I.
(Thanks to arkymedes for the subtitle)
Can you see how Mufasa answers that difficult question to Simba in The Lion King? That dialog could have happened this way, but in real life:
- Dad, will you always be with me?
- No
- Why
- Because everybody dies. I will, someday.
- You will die! Oh no! Why you have to die?
- Because "c'est la vie"
And then, Simba should start to blame God for the "erratic" way in which Life was created. But no! Instead, our little kid, now that he knows that "our life is temporary" and that "he will die someday", he starts to make other people suffer for his own profit, and then some subjects ask him "Why are you so mad?" Which could you think will be his answer? You are right: "c'est la vie!"
"Sometimes there are people who don't want to listen. But also, there are people who don't want to talk."
Ignacio Cortorreal (If not, correct me)
When I talk like this, I now see what Moses was trying to teach with those Ten Commandments. But, for some reason, people started to walk away from those Commandments, and now we see Zeal, Hatred, Envy, Anger everywhere. I can bet that it started when some disciples of Moses started to use "c'est la vie" or "that's the law" as an answer.
"The Ten Commandments are really good. The problem is that each one of Them have many exceptions. And every exception should be explained. If not, people could develop wrong explanations."
Ignacio Cortorreal (If not, correct me)
Do you remember those funny moments when kids start to ask these two lovely questions "What is that?" and "Why?" It gives me chills to think how the disposition to reach the bottom of any deep topic is hardwired inside the personality of each one of us. I believe that "You ask too much" is a devastating answer, but "I don't know" is a phrase that everyone says with shame... Life is really complex, but the funny part is that we can learn and enjoy many things.
"My destiny is my only enemy. Cuantas veces yo caí, pero proseguí.
A fuerza de golpes yo crecí, no debió de ser así,
pero le doy gracias al destino por todo lo que sufrí."

Sacrifice, Weapon, Recovery
Today, in The Great Pawn Hunter's web page, I was reading Decoy: Chess with Style, and then all the Knights section in the Lessons page. I re-re-leaned the forgotten sacrifice-weapon-recovery principle I learned in 2002. I was re-dazzled again about how nice and beautiful some sacrifices can become... and also, in how similar they are to some aspects of life.
You must notice that whatever you sacrifice is not in vain. A plain sacrifice, because it has meaning, it has a purpose.
In Naruto Manga, Asuma explains what is his duty in the village (a sacrificial piece) and who is the most valuable piece in his game of life. Shikamaru got it wrong until Asuma finally explained his thoughts.
These children of the atom are making great philosophical stories since Tetsuwan Atomu (Mighty Atom). Mighty Atom was renamed to Astro Boy in United States. What do you think could be the reason behind that name change?
And still those powerful robots can't imagine a world without money and wars, because they want to be heads and managers of Earth by keeping poverty... As Maquiavelli said, "It is better to be feared than loved", right? I wouldn't like to be respected by fear, or to be so powerful that I fear of being alone, without enough reliable people near me.
There's no enough imagination. We humans are so crippled that we can only imagine that this is the only one way to live our lives. Respect, tolerance, acceptance and communication.
Now, each one have needs, and exchanges or sacrifices to make.
Understanding between everybody is better than any kind of money. if I could communicate with all animals and bugs, I probably would not need to kill them. But they can't imagine a new civilization. (a song about this line?)
I know the risk of losing all good things I have achieved and kept. It's just like when I don't want to lose rating on Free Internet Chess Server (FICS), but if I don't risk, I won't improve.
I know that we need to push people to work and do things, and that is not easy to change from one way to another. But also, Creativity doesn't light up too well under anxiety or pressure. Each idea should be stored and pondered from time to time when they appear on our heads.
I think I wrote about "storing all ideas of the world, even crazy ones" some time ago, but I can't remember when It was. And I'm not talking about "Web of Ideas", but something else.

Happy -vs- Sad
#6: yes, randomness, e+motion, sell, task, That's our task. That's what we get paid for. We do it, change it, and tweak it as you like, and receive the blame for it if it doesn't work as expected. And still we need to be happy. But how convenient that Einstein said that "There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." Thank your for the miracle of working that way...
Do you think we should simply ignore that bad side? Why don't we celebrate when somebody dies? or when diseased? or crippled? Or better: don't think about it at all! Show indifference to your friends' suffering, because it's bad and we should be in good mood forever, right? No! because they will reduce their estimation towards you. Challenges, Families, Relationship, Friends, ... the silly "That's another thing" answer. I hate it. I believe in Universal Law. Law should be applied to every[thing|one|where]. Then, What would my penalty be?
If you believe in God, then you believe in supernatural powers. If not, well, Malcolm X said that "a man who believes in nothing will fall for anything."

Best Manga Review: Pluto
http://bestmangareview.blogspot.com/2007/12/pluto.html
I have read Pluto manga. The previous URL inspired me to re-read it again, so I went to OneManga... What a big surprise! They don't offer the manga anymore!
Many other online-reading manga websites have been blocked, and are prohibited to show mangas.
This is my anger.
This is the kind of action that characterize Japanese. This kind of mentality have earned my atomic bombs. :-@
It is like the battle between Open Source and Paid Software (Copyright vs. Community). My solace is that Black Market will always exists. I thought they would improve lessons from Linux, instead of going totally backwards.
Pluto and Robots, equals money.
We users can show our gratitude and pay a fee, but is not acceptable for me to buy the physical manga version, and to wait for those "big robots" to translate our beloved mangas.
Could it be a pressure from U.S.A.? Or an egoist Japanese Nationalism? Or are they zealous because they couldn't see the idea of a big community of international manga evangelists coming through?
Instead of giving merit to those websites that helped them to spread fame, they try to remove or ban a possible right or opportunity.
Unless, of course, that you, "big robots", want to centralize online manga and scanlation.
Next match will be: Anime War.

Degradation
Main religions and laws promote monogamy (i.e. only one husband and wife). I heard that some institutions and churches impart marital courses, and they have costs; if there are problems between a married couple, there are marital treatments or courses.
But what about living as a single? There are moral compromises that some would like to test or break, even for some small moments, or more. Some restraints include:
What will men do with all that suppressed "power"? Money and Drinks have made "things" easier, but those things are morally incorrect. If your woman wants to wait some time, and you are in a "need", you will need to find solace, and that is morally incorrect. Also, you should never get married only for "that" need, because that will be a Divorce Prelude.
Then you must choose to live either moralist or extrovert. What will happen if you suppress your feelings towards women too much? What will happen if you keep avoiding those immoral actions for too long?
But what about living as a single? There are moral compromises that some would like to test or break, even for some small moments, or more. Some restraints include:
- You should have only one woman
- It's a bad act to look for sexual workers
- Divorce exists and it is more expensive
- VIH and AIDS
- You shall never covert your neighbor's wife (not even in your mind)
- You can't touch any woman you want
- If you look at women too much, you'll accused for sexual harassment
- Some Kama Sutra positions
- Eating plants and animals grown with special hormones

Killer Kids
I was going to work, and when I was on the public transportation, I heard a boy talking about how a kids band, probably with female kids, killed many people, including two taxi drivers. The boy also said that it appeared in the news and one kid said that she finds pleasure on killing.
If I were a burglar, I will be pleased if people give me the money without me to harm, hit or kill them. I still have not seen somebody dying in from of my eyes (well, everyone that is alive is dying), and I think it would be a very unpleasant and not enjoyable thing to see... except of course, if the dying person deserves to be murdered. I think that the only justification or motive with which a burglar will want to kill a victim of his robbery is if the killer have had personal inconveniences or problems with the victim some time ago.
I still find unbelievable that people love to kill simply and only by pleasure. Why two people able to communicate must kill themselves? We kill animals for food or for protection, but if we were able to communicate with them, these kills will be reduced.
Even the fact that kids have special treatment and attention from laws like, for example, that kids don't have life imprisonment or death penalty, some other "people" like to use kids to do their "evil" acts. I just imagine them saying to the kids "Even if you land in jail, you will be out at the age of 18. Just when you become a real adult. You won't live all your life inside jail...", although, of course, "some" can force kids to be killer, supposedly.
Recently, I had a thought: even if delinquents are bad, they fall in love, have friends and family, and will suffer if one of them dies. Someday I saw a friend playing Assassin's Creed and I got chills when I thought that a killer might sense our karma and take his decision to kill based on it... maybe Delinquency is just another type of Religion...
I only beg that, if I have bad karma, I can be able to reduce it in my near future. :'-(
PS: the last sentence I used is better than "positivist" ones like "I'm still alive" or "I will never get killed" to end a topic like that. Some people even add "if it's God's will" to these "positivist" sentences to reduce the impact on their karma... God is like what hackers know as /dev/null, or astronomers know as Black Hole: that only by using His name it will attract all bad consequences of our own actions and thoughts (well, some people)... Life has an interesting ability to make ourselves to swallow our own words... Respect for the Strong! Compassion for the Weak!

The Jar of Candies
Funny Note: This is not like "Jar of Dirt" from Jack Sparrow (well, another type of dirt) This is an example of how perjudicious and vitiated our society and civilization has become. Do this experiment two or three times and then, if you feel it, compare your conclusions with mine.
Buy a transparent jar and a bag of candies, then fill that jar with them. When there are many people, put that jar in a place that is visible to everybody, and then take only one candy and say nothing.
"I think that things like this are what differentiate Kings from Pawns..."
You can leave comments, I will read them. (Maybe late, but not never!) :-P
Buy a transparent jar and a bag of candies, then fill that jar with them. When there are many people, put that jar in a place that is visible to everybody, and then take only one candy and say nothing.
- Some people will ask "Can I take one candy?" and you say "Yes." But, if the next time they ask "Can I take another candy?", instead of being proud of this repeated question, you might think "Wow, how silly this idiot is. I already said 'Yes' to him."
- If you got that previous negative thought, then check this now. Maybe one of those people may ask you "Are those candies for us?" Then you said "Yes", and after that, people will stop asking you. Even newcomers won't ask you if they can take candies.
- Some people feel too comfortable that they even don't think to ask, they only say "Give me one candy." If you go and give one of them, they later will say again "Give me another candy." If you say to them "Go and get it yourself", this will be the last time they will ask you for a candy. Each time they see candies, they will get them, and if you say "Hey, not so fast", they will answer "You said I can get it myself."
- Nice ones are those who take a candy as soon as they see the jar. They don't even hesitate to ask you if they can take candies. If you say "Wow, how fast!", those are the ones who say "That's simple logic" or "I thought they were for us." Sometimes they even give you a special sight, that is up to you to decipher.
- But the best of the best can appear in any of these previous groups. Those are the ones who ignored that you took only one candy! Some might grab two or three, others will take a handful, others will make jokes about taking the full jar for themselves, but the vast majority will take more than one.
- "Pay careful attention to people of the first group that takes only one candy."
- At the second or third jar, on different days, questions will be reduced and, depending on your previous answers, people will act differently.
"I think that things like this are what differentiate Kings from Pawns..."

Creator is Selfish
Life always gives you hits anytime you talk about or share your thoughts.
It seems like there will always exist someone who feels pleasure when you suffer.
And that person feels a desire to hurt you and to see your saddest face.
And on top of all that, one must withstand everything, because one doesn't know
what is the correct way to react in a situation like that.
And wherever one go, will always encounter with people like that.
Maybe the best alternative is to practice telepathy, because it is private enough
to stop people to know whatever you think about. Nevertheless, there always appear
someone who want to force you to do something, even if you don't have enough desire
to do it, or maybe because of insecurity.
Biggest solace is that sadness people feel motivates them to write this way; but then,
it seems that, for each joy I feel, a greater sadness come after, i.e., it happens an event terrible enough to make me remember how good is to be small and promote smallness.
It is more pleasant to live as an skeptic, than to live jumping from happiness to sadness and vice versa. Einstein said that happiness is for cattle. Another one said "if I am, I don't know; if I know, then I already am not."
It is to live the life giving that moral advice that we are trying to find the reason why that advice is so correct, even if we think it is not perfect enough. It seems life has things with no amount of reason; things that right right because they are so, and the only thing one can say is "You are wrong! It is not because you have objections for it, but because, everywhere I go, workers and honest people that I see on streets don't promote that kind of thought or image! And even if I can feel you have good intentions, I must acknowledge that, for some weird reason, people react in an specific or common way towards public and society."
The only thing is left for me to believe is in Fate or Destiny. Destiny of sacrifice to live between vampires, wolves, vultures, hyenas, sharks, bears, and any other kind of predators that exist in our society. Sincerely, all of this is sad. It seems like complete and absolute happiness is forbidden for human beings, or it is maybe an illusion: it doesn't exist!
One must always think about future, even though humans are not eternal beings. None of all theological theories can be 100% proven, then one must believe by Faith, or follow its instincts, or do what the majority of people do... but no one of them can give a 100% happiness or complete removal of suffering. The former can be enjoyed briefly, and the latter gets a little reduction from time to time, and even they are not constantly eternal.

Why RD does not conceptualize? Because nobody teachs it
What I wished when I wrote Ying Xiong: Broken Sword, I have learned that "Intellectuals" call it Conceptualization.
Venn Euler, Baldor methods, Abstraction ... Vs. Money. I feel human kind is passing into a crossroads where money and quality of life are starting to get into conflicts. Nobody wants to teach something for free, and everybody hates when people start to earn money using things that should be given for free.
In essence, conceptualization consists in trying to find connections or similar features between things are seemingly or evidently different. It is like to find similarities between a Cow and a Building (there's a funny and long Dominican joke relating those two entities) ... the sad part about this definition is that it is considered either too childish or too crazy, but that is what I feel is the essence of conceptualization.
The other sad extreme is Money. Money is a kind of drug, or in order to make a better conceptualization, Money is like Food. Many people find pleasure when overeating. Even some people may think that Food is the only important thing in life... a nice comparison with Money. When improvement of human mind and knowledge depends on Money, everybody who is unwilling to pay will remain stupid, until a Good Samaritan appears... Thoughts like this are born when you try to connect the un-connect-able (i.e. practice conceptualization)
Lack of conceptualization is what keeps people polluting and overpopulating our earth. Thoughts like "Earth is big enough" or "When petroleum run out, then we'll talk about Hydrogen" or even "If I have enough money, everything will be alright" are results of that lack.
Even thoughts like "World will end only for anyone who is dead" can be born from lack of conceptualization.
Note: RD means República Dominicana.

Randomness
The pleasure of Randomness, the magic of "Yes", impulses and instincts, extremes, that silly pattern of us to do everything but what is perfectly stated and proven, the kick that started this Pythagorean Device that we all call Universe, the fact that our boredom prompts us to switch activities determined by our state of mind; that we need to guess, predict, or calculate our unknown path in life, and we don't know who has the right answer to all of our problems, and that we should develop our own answers; that the majority of us are not geniuses, that we still keep searching even after we achieved many of our dreams, and how hard is to maintain an equilibrium of everything; that everything has a start and an end; that Earth is not the only inhabited planet in this Universe, but it seems the majority can't prove that; that we always pray when we walk through dangerous neighborhoods (I'd like to know what an atheist would do), all those seemingly unrelated thoughts that I (or maybe you) have during all your life; about that big effort we put on useless things; the paradox of how hard is to forget things we want, and to keep things that we easily forget; "God created man in his own image", so it seems He has many of our faults, right? ; No Mind and/or Just Do it ; ...
WHY DO THESE THINGS DO EXISTS? ONLY TO EXERCISE OUR FREEDOM OF CHOICE? Come on! I believe there is a more selfish purpose for creating the Universe! Although to demand Love should be enough selfish for me.

Balance Vs. Extremes
50% God, 50% Us. No matter what your dream is, a half of the total work belongs to you. God rarely does a complete work. Count on God only if that work is impossible for you, this is, if you only can do 1% of it.
Why should life be hard? Fight too much to satisfy your own desires, or simply give a blink eye to all detestable aspects of work, in order to keep going?
To fight against life, to live by illusions, to know what makes Money and Sex so attractive, ... I believe their attraction it is not only because of pleasure and power. They should have something more spiritual hidden inside them.
I am trying to compare Sex and Art: think about sex, think about art; wish sex, wish art; remind sex, remind art; then, what about to see, to have an opportunity, or to do sex? What about those circumstances that arise, and you don't have control about when these "offerings" appear?
These are things I think that helps in order to increase my motivations towards an art: Memories, 1%, Infinite Improvements, Think=Act, People Energy, Just Do It, Yes Magic; but the Magic of saying "I'll do it" is very similar to the magic inside "I hate it" or "I don't want that"
That intense, strong, great feeling that I feel towards Sex, I would like to transfer it to an art, but even excessive sex tires, well, if it is done with the same cow ...
Pluto: "Nothing good is born from hatred." Then what if people take advantage of us? Should we use brute force to prevent that, without feeling hatred? What I really need is to wish to work, without looking for self-excuses.
Some things that makes my intellect to stall and choose wrong decisions are : sex, rejection, vagrancy, libido, money, to lose, materialistic women, envy, greed. In Pluto, an AI keeps sleeping until extreme feelings are injected to it, but what if it comes another opposite extreme feeling that put that AI to sleep again?
If nothing good is born from hatred, then we should not hate what harm our development, right? To seek good points inside bad things is not enough! Instincts and impulses take us to extremes!
Equilibrium is an intelligent choice, although it promotes inertia (better that than to fail), but if we go to extremes, we can perceive unknown answers. But there are some hindrances or defects, like fatigue and hunger, that slow us in our path to extremes!
Nothing in life is free. Cars need maintenance, painting, fuel, oil, coolant, lights, ... so our body, dreams and goals!
Ideas, thoughts and feelings are like light in our dark path, seeds in our fertile soil, and pieces for the machine of ideals that we are. So we need to work for our dreams, because they are not free. If you rest enough, you can have better ideas. Rest is necessary, but it takes some of our time.
Nothing is free. Time is the universal payment method, but we also pay with feelings: the risk of either instant or future suffering. Hey, as time passes by, my desire towards women increases. Why?
I am trying to elaborate a list of things that increments my "desires": education, genes, advertising, ... While I was elaborating this list, I remembered when I recently felt the pleasure of randomness in chat! That pleasure started when more than four people wrote comments about my nonsense messages.
People that shows you esteem also increments your desires, and also your motivation for goals. Wow, and this thought was generated from that chat comment! Our thoughts are always connected: they follow a seemingly unknown or obscure order ...
Every new idea will be related to a previous thought, as the same way all my conclusions are related to my desire to find the eternal source of motivation!
To reduce one kind of motivation, and to increase another: Which way to go: Balance or Extremes?
Why should life be hard? Fight too much to satisfy your own desires, or simply give a blink eye to all detestable aspects of work, in order to keep going?

Decisions: choose the best trash
Maximus from Gladiator, Guts from Berserk, Andy Dufresne from Shawshank Redemption: They suffered all their lives and their conclusions were neither great nor happy; they were necessary conclusions. At some point, their lives got totally wasted, nevertheless, they were still alive for some rare dictum of destiny, if that can be said. Is their suffering planned by authors of those stories? Then have a look at Passion Of Christ story and The Holy Bible. Maybe His suffering was planned by God. What do you think? If for some rare casualty you possess a special or disgusting quality (like Math), it is because "Somebody" wants you to use it to break your own limits or for your own profit, at least (e.g. Combat abilities of Maximus and Guts, or Accounting abilities of Andy).
It could be very interesting to encourage people to find their own special abilities and use them for their profit. Imagine a a way to influence in people's mind all over the world to do what we want them to do. That way is Television, Media! They can make you think about things you have never imagined. For example, in Lethal Weapon 4, Wah Sing Ku used a pose to avoid a bullet, but it landed on his brother's chest. In that scene, I reminded how some of our actions can help us, but can harm beloved people too.
When I think how to improve my "abilities", there are two big obstacles: Sex and Money. These obstacles are big enough to twist all my decisions and make me choose wrong paths of either thinking or acting. Any option I need to choose might circle around those two things.
When there is only one option, everything is so easy, but when there are two or more options, each of them must be studied , SWOT-analyzed,... in the end, everything is reduced to choose one alternative.
There is an hypothesis that says Electrons are books, and that they may contain information about things that happen around them. If that is true, then maybe that's why some Masters capable of reading and teaching how to read all the information encrypted inside electrons were killed and their books about the topic were burned or hidden away from us to avoid us to reveal all dirty acts "some people" did to take total control of this world.
We should have as much information as possible to avoid repeating mistakes, even though there will always be things out of our control. "Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony." (Morpheus, The Matrix). No matter what path you choose in your life, it will put you in either a happy or sad unexpected or illogical event or position.
Election, Choice, Conditions, Decision... Sound and Light, Atoms and Information. Songs like "Smell Like Teen Spirit" from Nirvana, and "My Life" from Game featuring Lil Wayne, show how ironic this generation can be. Even if you choose your problems either top-down approach (choose an appealing path) or bottom-up one (study several paths before choosing one), amount of paths or options will increase as time passes by, because it is well known that future always brings new alternatives. If that is so, then options are essentially infinite!
Also, when you are studying an option, as time passes by, there appear more options that worth study, and you know a good one of them, and even it appears as the perfect option for you, but for some reason, you reject it. Why? Maybe because you want to study all other options before you choose one. And it's also common not to choose the better one.
You choose a path, and when obstacles appears in the way, you stop, study all ways to avoid that obstacle, and then you choose a new path until new obstacles appears... Do you see a vice cycle? Also, choices have feelings associated to them.
I had a dream. In that dream I was inside a doll house. I was trying to choose between three women and as time passed by, more women were coming. A special woman that I met in my real life was not only offered, but pushed towards me to accept her! I didn't know what to do. I was confused, so I rejected her and chose another one... then I woke up.
Maybe you will ask me the same question I asked myself: why did I rejected her? Was it because there were nicer ones? Was it because of friendship? Do I feel love for her? Is she so special for me? Did I think that she and I are not a good match? I am not sure of the reason, but I learned something interesting: either at short or long term, feelings always influence our decisions, believe it or not.
You have to make a Choice, then, as Time passes by, Infinite Options appears, but whatever your choice is, it will be mixed with some kind of Feelings... Has God created feelings? Does God feel something?

Telepathy | Atom = Improve Universe
Naruto: "If there is such a thing as peace, I will find it. I will never give up!"
I don't know how to improve this Universe. Even if I get an idea, I can't make a working prototype of that idea. So, I write this entry to remind myself that I will stop to think about ways of improving this universe, until I fully dominate atom creation or telepathic communication, which none of them are probable for me right now.
Nevertheless, it doesn't mean that I will stop to bring out any deception of life that I may find. I really love life, but I can neither ignore its bad facts nor improve them. What I can do is improve my life to the extend my current knowledge allows me.

Nevertheless, it doesn't mean that I will stop to bring out any deception of life that I may find. I really love life, but I can neither ignore its bad facts nor improve them. What I can do is improve my life to the extend my current knowledge allows me.
Insecurity within opportunities
I got a dream in where I was looking for rum and a lime soda. I was drinking with a group of people and then the rum was gone. I decided to look for the rum, and people from the group said me to bring a bi-liter of lime soda. Wherever I went, I found either half-empty bottles, or not bottles at all, even though they sell another types of drinks. I also recall there was a lot of party in the way with people (and specially women) dancing. I went into more or less five mini-delis and in none of them I found it, but in the last one I found a blue drink and a coconut soda.
My first impression about this dream was this: I will search for something, and Iwill find something I never imagined, and it will seemingly match with my situation and I must decide if I will take it, keep searching, or quit it all.
I'm reading Bakuman. Chapter 34 is a very good one. In this one, Mashiro receives an "early chance" from Miho. Although he obviously rejected it, he still thought hard about that opportunity. Many times we also receive unexpected chances, and we keep wondering if we should take them or not. Luck or Fate? It seems that we need to learn to enjoy to fail and choose between alternatives.
But then, what about time I lose while I commit my mistakes? What about all misinterpretations that will eventually occur by trials and errors? Even if I learn to withstand pain while working toward a goal (e.g. Art), that knowledge won't help me when I decide to go to catch another goal (e.g. Love), although that previous knowledge can be solace.
It seems that in life, we need to live inside middle terms. If that is so, then why do we need to choose? Possibly to eternally remember ourselves to live in middle terms. Whatever the situation I need to make a choice, normally one choice is possible. Well, if you have to choose between two bad alternatives, choose the better one! I took this idea from Thiaoouba Prophecy eBook. That book treats about a planet inhabited by highly evolved people who look like they always receive good news (I think they look always happy). In that book also I recalled something about human memory: Humans easily forget...
We humans have books and computers to help us with memory, and cell phones, ipods, internet to feel happy everyday... but that fact about choosing between two bad alternatives is something very evil, diabolical, bizarre, devilish, ...
Also, even if we make either the better or the worse choice, in the future (commonly near future) will appear a better alternative that we "magically" or "idiotically" ignored before. Should I feel happy because I can see that alternative, or sad because I couldn't see it before? Well, I think a very good purpose of life is constant evolution and improvement, so it should be obvious that we will be able to do things tomorrow that are inimaginable today. I just remember when I said I will never blog...
From Thiaoouba Prophecy and The Freedom Of Choice book I read the theory of "Life is a test", that our soul come to life in order to test its spiritual capabilities. If that is so, then what subject in "life career" are we trying to pass or flunk? In what moment did we forget we are in a test? Maybe at birth? They said humans easily forget...
We are not sure about what kind of things do we want, but we are very sure of things that we really don't want! Luck or Fate? Are there unbeatable limits? Possible Vs. Probable.
You can't determine neither on which spiritual level you really are, nor which level you should head for; but you can surely determine what things you don't want and don't like. Granted, sometimes you need to destroy in order to improve, but there are also very extremist people who only think to destroy.
My mom, Gladys, was talking about housework, and I got interested to find out where her motivation to act comes from. She started answering this:
- When I'm not in good mood to work, I sleep a little. Then, when I wake up, I recall things that I need to do, and after a moment, I start doing them.
- What kind of things do you think about to motivate yourself to act? - I asked.
- I think only in what I need to do.
- Only that? And by art of magic that motivation appears?
- Yes
The thing that excite you to think should be very similar to the one that will excite you to act! This is highly probable, and so I have a question: Why (in MY case) is the desire to think easier to achieve than the desire to act?
I read a japanese proverb that says "Every morning, gazelles know they need to run faster than the slowest gazelle one to prevent lions to catch them; Every morning, lions know they need to run faster to catch the slowest gazelles; Moral of fable: No matter if you are gazelle or lion, run!" I made an analogy between this proverb and my philosophy of Yin-Yang. This is my idea:
"Every good action I make may have a bad point of view inside of it; Every bad action I make may have a good point of view; Moral of fable: No matter what kind of action you do, have a point of view! As long as it's related to Love and/or Improvement, just do it!"
Funny side note: while I was writing this entry, a fly landed on my screen. I played with the fly with my mouse. When I put my mouse closer to the fly, that fly funnly goes away the pointer!! LOL
