Under the Table

Do you feel that we are asleep? Do you feel that is time to do something for the world, to discover all the frauds that we keep beliving, watching in any news channel, reading in the papper? When are we going let THEM know that we don't belive this bullshit anymore? HOW LONG?

Does anybody knows about the NAFTA Super Highway ?
Quietly (the trans-Texas corridor), the Bush Administration is advancing the plan to build a huge NAFTA Super Highway, four football-fields-wide, through the heart of the U.S. along Interstate 35 (I-35 the one that just collapsed in Minneapolis), from the Mexican border at Laredo, Tex., to the Canadian border north of Duluth, Minn.

The Fall and the Roof

There was a moment in my life where the roof of my building was my place. I was pretty young and sad.
I remember the lighting, the sun gave me a perfect light, it wasn't too bright, it was a little warm and pale. It was during the fall. I was going there and write poems, stories or just thoughts and fears.
The clothes that were hanging started to make some noise, wind, the beautiful wind was blowing hard, my eyes started to tear, it was a little cold but I didn't care, I held on my note book and kept writing. When I was there I felt free, I didn't have to pretend that I was fine when I wasn't, I cried or screamed if I felt like. I felt dominant and powerful.
The sun's warmth hitting on my face it felt so sweet that it was sad.
I was watching the sun disappear between the buildings and the city was light up.
The time passed by, and I was always going to the roof, to do whatever, bathing sun with a girlfriend, get high with my mother or simply hang the clothes.

The Last Hope

I have been watching the changes of the world in the past twenty years, how drastic or dramatic it was and is.
There are lots of things that scares me, but what makes me wonder the most is the condition of the earth right now; we humans are taking as much as we can from it, like is never going to end, everything ends. The way we are fishing the ocean is terrible, we are killing hundreds of species and have extincted another hundreds, because is never enough! All the deforestation is going on with the wilds forests, for example the Amazon, we are actually destroying the world's lungs, our lungs.
The ocean and the air smells different... What is going on with us?
I want to have a kid, someday. I'd love to experience creating another human been inside of me, the most natural pain of the birth, the first look and raising him or her. I dream with that, in a future.

The big city

When you come from a big city with a non-stop syle of life, with a list of things you have to do that you wrote down in the agenda and read it the next morning with your coffee and as the day goes by, your are one more that is in a rush, furious if you missed the bus or the subway, people pushes you, screams over nothing and there are many times that you find your self doing the same thing, but you love it... Maybe it's just me.
A city is great to be celebrating, happy, angry or sad, the city always fits you, but when you are in a beautiful caribbean paradise, do you fit when you are not feeling that good? I don't know, everything seems great, even when you know some are fake, I don't want to pretend, I want to be me, if I'm smiling or not.
City, oh gorgeous city.
