WHEN REQUIRED TO APPEAL TO A BODY SCARS
Yes, indeed. Because when you, mere mortal, you do not see how describe its dawn disaster after a bad night that ended a day even more disaster, fattening of pessimism ... for all that, there is always immortal you shut your mouth and speak for you.
NINE MOSTRUO
I, unfortunately, grows
pain in the world all the time,
grows to thirty minutes per second, step by step,
and nature of pain, pain twice
and the status of martyrdom, voracious carnivore,
is twice
pain and function of pure grass, the dolordos
times and the good of being, doubly grieve.
Never, human men,
was much pain in the chest, on his lapel, purse,
in the glass, in the carnage, in Arithmetic! Much love
never painful, so close
never attacked the distance, the fire never
better role played dead cold! Never
, Minister of Health, was the deadliest
health and migraine
extracted both against the forehead!
And the furniture was in her drawer, pain, heart
in his crate, pain,
the lizard in his crate, pain.
misery grows, brother men,
soon as the machine, and ten machines, and grows
with the response of Rousseau, with our beards;
evil grows for reasons that ignore
and is a flood own fluids,
with own mud and solid cloud itself! Invest
suffering positions gives
role in the aqueous humor
is vertical to the pavement,
the eye is seen and heard this ear, this ear
and takes nine strokes
when the beam, and nine to laughter
time of wheat, and nine females
sounds when crying, and nine songs
at the time of hunger and nine and nine whips
thunder, less a cry.
pain catches us, brother men,
behind profile, and we
allocates in cinemas, we nailed
in gramophones,
unnail us in the bed, falls perpendicularly
our tickets, our letters;
and is very serious subject, can you pray ...
As a result of pain, some
born, others grow, others die,
and others who are born and not dying,
otrosque without being born, die, and other
not born or die (the most)
And as a result of suffering, I tristehasta
head, and more sad to ankle,
to see the bread, crucified, the turnip,
bloodied, crying
, onions,
to cereal, in general, flour, salt-
made dust, water, fleeing,
wine, an Ecce Homo,
so pale in the snow, the sun as it burned!
How, fellow humans,
not say that I can not and I can not
with such drawer,
many minutes, so much
lizard and investment, both far and so thirsty thirsty!
Health Minister, what to do?
! Ah! Unfortunately, human men,
there, brothers, much to do.

Is Marril Good Pokemon
IMMORTAL
One, two, three and four. That is the number of scars from accidental I have cuts all over his body. The depth of each Harida, the enough to be sewn to "stitches", as the doctors say. Sterilized some thread, a needle-shaped tab, local anesthesia and feel of a fabric over time and fraction. In the first two times I cried like a few times in my life I've done it before from physical pain. Chances of a rugged existence, you can make a timeline when reviewed from top to bottom.
ONE. just do it.
The first is in the head. In the neck, finished top, closer to her than her neck. For nearly a decade haircut floor almost flush and let it grow for irregular time. Unless more one year after a long time I went to the barber to do something special. I guess it was the influence of being in the city where image is everything and that wig cut five months has been the only condition for my friend Chauchú (made in Capon, Lima) introduced me to a Bulgarian girl after greeting you never saw her again, the Staten Island Russian hairdresser discovered the cut with the most comfortable I've felt.
used them myself, the courts, with a mirror machine tools, interesting way that the run time, an excuse to log out, meditate, think. However, do not remember exactly how long I go to the hairdresser in my neighborhood, whose name until today do not know. His day job is simple, nothing special, just move the machine with a small blade. With the cutter anonymous can analyze the news that happen in Canal No. I read in the newspaper that always reaches me. It's like my personal gauge of public opinion. Ever happened to me information that helped me in my work, a good source. We are off topic.
happens when I have short hair, leaves a scar similar to the symbol of a brand of sneakers. Head of shoe or shoebox head plates are often recurring in those times. Ah, for the timeline: the scar is what remains when a wooden bucket stuck in my head (not pierced the skull, not hallucinating free). Was three years old, jumped from one of my daycare tables, taking advantage of the nannies were not, and almost as an omen of my future clumsiness in physical activity, stumbled y. .. is easy to imagine the rest. A towel covered in blood, the nannies run. Thankfully, the nursery was part of the hospital where my mother. Back in the office, just remember that I had my two cousins, my mother and my aunt making faces and talking about anything so the doctor do his job quietly. By the way, I also remember how it felt when the needle pierced my skin, but when I pulled the strings.
go down to the right eyebrow.
DOS. cutting supposedly sexy.
Here I have a diagonal cut, closer to the horizontal at 90 degrees. It happens that the six years I have lost the eye. This time was due, again, a stumble. Running in the doorway, standing guard at the teacher got to avoid being punished by the chaos that only children living without authority can be achieved. In the distance we saw. Everybody is running, find your seat. I run, I look for my seat. A Chinese greater than all (I studied Chinese in college and we used to keep colleagues in that country over the rest having gone through a cycle inclusion that delayed a few degrees ... say that my school is the factory of "my Chinese leg" of Lima). In short, the Chinese this pushes many, including me (the Chinese had some socialization problems, repeat the first grade). See how I go straight to a table leg.
cry, blood. Again, red towels. The medical process was more fortunate. Comfortable, I mean. Dr. strategy was to appeal to my knowledge of mathematics. "Hey, you're a basket in addition and subtraction hey, a champion, you're going to be an engineer." Indeed it was! But poor woman, if she saw me now, an allergy to all digital operation. Alo Maybe I was lying, just telling me that for anesthesia in a false glory. Maybe. I could not run or play for a week.
a girl ever told me that he was fascinated by that cut on the eyebrow. "... I love it, it gives you a sexy look." I lean more to the idea that an additional elemntos ua part of the whole gives some irregularity, some imbalance. I do not know why something must be that I only have this once in my 24 years of existence? I think it was in compensation after telling me "excited" her delicate neck while biting it gladly.

How To Avoid Fees On Biolife Debit Card
ZENA EL-KHALIL, A BLOGGER FROM BEIRUT
During the last half hour from my balcony, I have been watching the skyline. Is burning. are 4:14 am.
The above are the first lines of the post, translated into English, with which Zena El-Khalil released his blog Beirut Update. Artist plastic Lebanese origin, born in England, returned home for his first solo exhibition. With many plans, the war cut short and held in the capital of the land of their ancestors.
At 3:28 in the morning, I awoke to the sound of Israeli jets flying low over our skies in Beirut. A soon to fall asleep, finally, thoughts crossed my mind all night, cramps in my stomach, fear ... And to think that some would fall asleep and I heard the sound of the jets, one followed by another, one explosion after another. Is somewhat calmer now.
I hear people praying morning prayers in the distance.
Throughout all of July and August, Zena wrote 35 posts in which recounted his days in the war waged by the Israeli army and the terrorist group Hezbollah. How the Israeli bombs did not discern the guilty and innocent. The powerlessness of ordinary people not being able to slap two or three at the world and wake him from his lethargy and indifference.
More than a million forced off now
civilization More than a thousand Lebanese killed.
many times I have to say that my country is being destroyed piece by piece.
In my city, entire neighborhoods are gone.
Entire families have disappeared
Southern Lebanon is a single flame
For a month, I had to do to Lebanon brutalized.
Its citizens crumpled under the rubble of their homes.
can not make peace amid the sound of bombs.
Zena Al Blog found him later, clicking links in a local newspaper that addressed the topic of blogging in Lebanon, four days ago. I was hooked instantly. I read what he had written as a child that reviews the lesson unlearned half an hour of starting the test. How not to sympathize with whom you confess what they really feel, know of euphemisms and communicate what he really thinks and above, suffer the injustices of human folly. And like her, an entire country stunned.
So I cried and cried ... because I felt an incredible wave of fear and sadness over my mind. I have not been sleeping. Combine fear and lack of sleep and have a great turning point downhill.
Zena el-Khalil is identified with three countries said to be English, Lebanon and Nigeria. The International Museum Women dela yours appears a little blurb: "Born in England in 1976. He grew up in Nigeria, where he read much, participated in karate competitions and listening Iron Maiden. At that time, his favorite color was purple. Still is. Is co-founder of Xanadu, an art space located in New York and Beirut, dedicated to helping young artists who are not interested in circuits and Alijsser malls, an American organization that works to promote the work of Arab artists. " In this website has on their happy marriage.
After all this information and understand more frustration when he learns that it is likely, she says a story that quoted a political scientist, that Israel have planned the attacks on one of the three countries over the past six years, at least. While
BUILDING DREAMS, they planned my destruction
(...) In the past six years, I was encouraging others to paint, sculpt, draw, film, photograph, make, glue, sewing, create ... I promised that their jobs would be accepted anywhere ... it was so important to work ... Lebanon that embraced the arts ... and we just had to route it.
the past six years, my parents promised a family, I promised grandchildren.
In the past six years, my best friends I promised them that our children would love Beirut. A Beirut that is healthy for ourselves and our friends, a Beirut unlike any other city in the world. (...)
But not hate. Never hate. I'm just really, I really disappointed by those people who feel they have the right to govern IT my life. All that remains now is to resist. Resist love. My most powerful weapon that nobody can touch. I still love you. I will always love. I love Beirut.
One character, the Zena. I found some of that country that sounded so far as the Lebanese should sonarles mine, Peru. His posts are really great. One of lives. Most feel vertigo, the fear, the uncertainty of the bombs leaked on Beirut, that smell that equates Zena he received in New York when he arrived two months after the fall of the towers. I agree with Zena
that the same sounds and the same feelings that she and other Lebanese perceived during the last month should be the same as stalking Jews in World War II.

Fair, the photo above New York shows a wall with a sentence of your blog, where an artist friend of hers used his posts for an interactive class with students of art. Yesterday
Israel declared a ceasefire in Lebanon. His troops began to withdraw. The return of a few displaced. Peace becomes fearful, almost silent, withdrawn, expressionless. With Zena share their sorrow and their joy now that the squalor of war recedes. Then, his last post published until the end of this:
IN THE NIGHT OF CEASEFIRE
This morning I awoke with a smile on my face. My husband jumped on me, kissing me all over his face, saying that the war was about to end .. the UN voted ... that things would improve now. I had woken up two hours early, but I jumped out of bed with a kind of energy that had not had for a month. This was a good morning.
all changed this weekend.
Supposedly, things were going to have some sort of final. One or the other.
On the night of the ceasefire, I had mixed emotions.
I am grateful that things are coming to an end.
Finally, the real work now lies before us: not just about rebuilding lives, the paìsí of morality. It is also to advance positivamnete forward in every way.
War hatred instilled in people. We as humans have to make sure that will not fall into the vicious circle of hatred.
We need to grow and talk about politics as citizens of the beautiful Mother Earth.
I do not think we were born to hate. I think we can be influenced by things like fear, violence, oppression and misunderstanding.
You should not have to live in fear, one should not have to be victims of violence.
seems that these days, violence and fear rules our lives are on TV and in the news ... but we should not be. a costume people use it for their own selfish benefits. The reality of life is love, not fear. We need to remember.
Life is beautiful ... is like the infinite possibilities of youth .... is like the first kiss ....
Remember the scene in Matrix (the third), near the end, when Neo and Trinity enter the Machine World ... flying in the air, hands held, love guides them through the war zone. From there they cross the sky, through the dark clouds
electric ... fighting for his life ... hence continue and suddenly they see the Earth as it really is: beautiful clear skies ... and that Trinity says "beautiful." I wonder
if we can also do that.
If there is something she learned last month, is that life is very precious. Second, your whole life can change. One day I was working in an art gallery by sending pictures to their new owners ... the next morning our airport was bombed and we were at war. So, out of nowhere.
my life was so fast at the beginning of this year ... was busy preparing for my first personal exhibition in Lebanon will be in May, was working hard in my studio every day.
Simultánemaente, was organizing an exhibition that would be in June. It was great. 21 artists and a full month events related thereto.
I held many things in my life. He said to me and everyone around me (including my husband) "In July I will have my old life back ... we'll have fun in July. We'll go to the beach in July. Yes, even you have decided to finally get pregnant! Only I can not do anything about it until July. "
And look what happened in July ... and certainly, I do not go to the beach
long, long time. many years, at least.
Life is so very precious.

Is co-founder of Xanadu, an art space located in New York and Beirut, dedicated to helping young artists who are not interested in circuits and Alijsser malls, an American organization that works to promote the work of Arab artists. " In this website has on their happy marriage.
After all this information and understand more frustration when he learns that it is likely, she says a story that quoted a political scientist, that Israel have planned the attacks on one of the three countries over the past six years, at least. While
BUILDING DREAMS, they planned my destruction
(...) In the past six years, I was encouraging others to paint, sculpt, draw, film, photograph, make, glue, sewing, create ... I promised that their jobs would be accepted anywhere ... it was so important to work ... Lebanon that embraced the arts ... and we just had to route it.
the past six years, my parents promised a family, I promised grandchildren.
In the past six years, my best friends I promised them that our children would love Beirut. A Beirut that is healthy for ourselves and our friends, a Beirut unlike any other city in the world. (...)
But not hate. Never hate. I'm just really, I really disappointed by those people who feel they have the right to govern IT my life. All that remains now is to resist. Resist love. My most powerful weapon that nobody can touch. I still love you. I will always love. I love Beirut.
One character, the Zena. I found some of that country that sounded so far as the Lebanese should sonarles mine, Peru. His posts are really great. One of lives. Most feel vertigo, the fear, the uncertainty of the bombs leaked on Beirut, that smell that equates Zena he received in New York when he arrived two months after the fall of the towers. I agree with Zena
that the same sounds and the same feelings that she and other Lebanese perceived during the last month should be the same as stalking Jews in World War II.

Fair, the photo above New York shows a wall with a sentence of your blog, where an artist friend of hers used his posts for an interactive class with students of art. Yesterday
Israel declared a ceasefire in Lebanon. His troops began to withdraw. The return of a few displaced. Peace becomes fearful, almost silent, withdrawn, expressionless. With Zena share their sorrow and their joy now that the squalor of war recedes. Then, his last post published until the end of this:
IN THE NIGHT OF CEASEFIRE
This morning I awoke with a smile on my face. My husband jumped on me, kissing me all over his face, saying that the war was about to end .. the UN voted ... that things would improve now. I had woken up two hours early, but I jumped out of bed with a kind of energy that had not had for a month. This was a good morning.
all changed this weekend.
Supposedly, things were going to have some sort of final. One or the other.
On the night of the ceasefire, I had mixed emotions.
I am grateful that things are coming to an end.
Finally, the real work now lies before us: not just about rebuilding lives, the paìsí of morality. It is also to advance positivamnete forward in every way.
War hatred instilled in people. We as humans have to make sure that will not fall into the vicious circle of hatred.
We need to grow and talk about politics as citizens of the beautiful Mother Earth.
I do not think we were born to hate. I think we can be influenced by things like fear, violence, oppression and misunderstanding.
You should not have to live in fear, one should not have to be victims of violence.
seems that these days, violence and fear rules our lives are on TV and in the news ... but we should not be. a costume people use it for their own selfish benefits. The reality of life is love, not fear. We need to remember.
Life is beautiful ... is like the infinite possibilities of youth .... is like the first kiss ....
Remember the scene in Matrix (the third), near the end, when Neo and Trinity enter the Machine World ... flying in the air, hands held, love guides them through the war zone. From there they cross the sky, through the dark clouds
electric ... fighting for his life ... hence continue and suddenly they see the Earth as it really is: beautiful clear skies ... and that Trinity says "beautiful." I wonder
if we can also do that.
If there is something she learned last month, is that life is very precious. Second, your whole life can change. One day I was working in an art gallery by sending pictures to their new owners ... the next morning our airport was bombed and we were at war. So, out of nowhere.
my life was so fast at the beginning of this year ... was busy preparing for my first personal exhibition in Lebanon will be in May, was working hard in my studio every day.
Simultánemaente, was organizing an exhibition that would be in June. It was great. 21 artists and a full month events related thereto.
I held many things in my life. He said to me and everyone around me (including my husband) "In July I will have my old life back ... we'll have fun in July. We'll go to the beach in July. Yes, even you have decided to finally get pregnant! Only I can not do anything about it until July. "
And look what happened in July ... and certainly, I do not go to the beach
long, long time. many years, at least.
Life is so very precious.

Carl Zeiss Vs. G Lens
DEBATE OF THE DEATH PENALTY: Digging
has not changed much, I think. Only improved their tricks to distract public opinion. Will read about in Paris and Bogota, his advisers should be more technical, less empirical. Surely reviewed what the virgin cry, the Chinese promised the thief, a former fugitive and extradited today. Hopefully how to "seize" the big circus that is each official game of the football team, the latter being much more than a sport and crowds pasiónd and 90 minutes to generate a mass amnesia that typically lasts days or weeks.
Apparently the smoke screens will not be as rough and blast not refer to ordinary Peruvians: try to cover the political enemies who, in his eternal majority are just thieves than before, but more controllable, deception, blackmail, orphans of ideology, ignorant of the political thing, opportunistic.
If not, look at how all the death penalty debate. How about engañamuchachos! And all behind, like a dog biting its tail, without progress.
"Alan offered to all in campaign, you hear out there. Yeah, well, up smokescreens.

PAN NO CIRCUS file Blogger ... BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER. Last post in NYC. The pack
In fact it was the last post I wrote in New York. I kept it because he was embarrassed and wanted to write more. Then I forgot. Is unchanged.
I like how they wrote before. Much more than I usually leave now. Something will have to see the mood or something. The tildes are omitted because the keyboard Carcía them. Ñ \u200b\u200bthere, I think. There he goes.
BEFORE inevitably idealize a return not expected until two weeks before I knew it was imminent. For more postponement that has been tried. Eliminate the ugly of Lima, which is quite an achievement (if, then, Lima is horrible, just past architectures are saved and a few residential area reserved for some, respect opposing views, but I think always from romantic). He said, erase everything, you keep right and you see that this group is composed of a handful of people, those who want and know that I want.
In that state of mind I get a aferta anyone who enjoys adventure travel and some discarded. "We're going to Florida," says my cousin.
- We're in New York, I will not pay for a plane ticket, I'm going on Tuesday (it was Thursday).
- Did you see the car that is out, the Mitsubishi Eclipse?
- Does that blue putamadre?
- If, in that we go. Put on your backpack, some clothes and left. Twenty hours are more tracks and you'll help me manage.
- Ok-I said something excitedly gimme five minutes.
experiential learning to achieve during these months of living with my cousin, who before arriving in New York had seen once in my life, for over ten years (the only time he returned to Peru), told me that there was no need to ask questions like "who is the car?" or "Why do you say to me that I drive?". There was no reason to worry about the solutions: if I had to travel to Peru on Tuesday, he would find a way to get there before that day.
"Damn, man, as if you already did not know me, the ridge!", Reminding me that says I can change accents Puerto Rican, Dominican, Colombia (country and coastal included) as usual, to perfection, and even mix .
My cousin was sent to this country after finishing school, twenty or twenty years, almost forced by one of my uncles, his father, who looked no better blueprint for men who send their offspring to other countries to work no more real than their memories and some money. This story of my Plimo , deserves a separate post. Perhaps an entire blog or a book-style New Journalism. But let ...
So was that we traveled a good part of Highway 95. New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Virginia, the Carolinas (North and South), Georgia and eventually Florida. In Virginia, the first stop, I saw the friendly people, something that New York is rare, a detail of my life anhören Pennsylvania.El landscape begins with some pine trees and green fields can poke through the Carolinas, African-American population in its majority. Gradually, the palms are sticking out and the red liquid in thermometers as well. We are leaving Georgia to reach Florida. Ahi
Ponciania we stayed in a place that also deserves separate post, since it is a living example of how man destroys millions of years of natural life in order to build artificial comfort. Houses, mansions, clubs, supermarkets and luxury shops ... all mixed with lagoons, lush vegetation and some crocodiles accidents per year.
Fernando and Kathy, Dominican, Polish and American first generation, we stayed at home. They were very good hosts. They are friends of my Plimo . They moved to Florida their small daughters do not live just like them in poor neighborhoods in the Bronx and Brooklyn. "A infielno , hand, a veldadero infielno what it was that sometimes," says Fernando. And what they are achieving. Garnde have a house, swimming pool, their daughters go to school on foot and work in a mechanical and a travel agency they like. "This is the paradise, my friend Herb," \u200b\u200bKathy tells me that only knows how to say fuck, bug, hello, goodbye and one more word in English. DURING
Back to New York after enjoying the tranquility and peace of Ponciania, afternoons at Daytona and Cocoa Beach, is like a slap in the middle of furious sleep. Attempts to delay my return to Peru were in vain. I am in the world's largest cybercafe, say its owners, where I wrote several posts on NYC. I think even cancel the flight and stay here forever. This city is exciting, a vice for which you do not mind leaving everything as long as you keep living it and let you live. For more to know that can hurt you, make your life a slave to her rhythm. AFTER
no idea what lies ahead. I hope not regret it. They say the detoxification of an addictive substance can be very hard, never-ending period.
