The first thing that appealed my attention was that after a few transactions on the Amaz0n website, I started to receive suggestions for my technical interests and further reading. This of course is of no surprise if one bears in mind that they do keep a record of all transactions done with them, and, based on that info they offer from their stock similar products. Simple! However, how much data do they have? How many persons are contained in their data base? Then, when I started to be a regular at a given supermarket I was offered a loyalty card. With this card I was able to accumulate points for each of the items I bought and then receive vouchers that I could redeem by more items or accumulate “many” points on suggested items by the store. Again, they are keeping a record of my buying patterns, crunching it to eventually tailor the promotions to me and make me buy “more of what I need”. Another one, when I check my email immediately after I start spotting online advertisement of items related to “keywords” contained in the text of my email... Then the natural question for me was: are ‘they’ keeping all this information on their data bases as well? WTF! How about your web search history? That -if you agree- might be kept somewhere. We are also at the “advent” of smartgrids. In other words utilities will eventually be able to know our energy consumption patterns; i.e. when are we at home, when do we arrive, how warm is it, when do we do laundry, cook, etc. To all this broth add the information that we divulge on our own accord: social networks like facebook, blogs (ouch), twitter, now the new “Buzz”, etc. There are many more examples like this, and I am sure that you might have thought of your own; but thinking about it, I arrived to the conclusion that there is still quite more room for “greater personalization”:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Link the whole bloody thing!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am sure that on good hands, all this massive amounts of information can be put to good use; e.g. creating data bases for more efficient production processes, better health service statistics, human pattern behaviour, better energy forecasts, identification of social needs, etc etc. But there is a flip side to that coin, how about the downsides and the risks? It might sound a bit paranoic but the first thing that came to my mind was Orwell’s “nineteen eighty-four”. Or what about data breach and stolen identities? How secure is all our data in all those data bases and who has access to it? Are you safe?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope I got you vexed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have a nice day.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6117194069723420515-5719266047698011991?l=harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/5719266047698011991'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/5719266047698011991'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com/2010/03/information.html' title='Information'/><author><name>el aprendiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09430434546558486446</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SMD7d-JR5mI/AAAAAAAAAAk/ydK2lMt11lg/S220/finger.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194069723420515.post-8530052219115187051</id><published>2009-12-21T17:47:00.003Z</published><updated>2009-12-26T19:14:44.791Z</updated><title type='text'>Happy winter solstice</title><content type='html'>Yes, the time of the year in which everyone celebrates and cheer with joy and happiness has come once more; so happy winter solstice to all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Additional information:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During this period I appeal to God's infinite love, tolerance and patience; so that he allows me to jump in (and out) to his religion making me a devote Catholic.

And this is below:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jenson Button&lt;/strong&gt; (Brawn-Mercedes) 95 pts: Started like a racehorse ended up like a limping donkey. He did a great job at the first stage of the season which helped him to secure the championship; even one race before the end of the season. The second part of the season was really poor, except the racing he did at Interlagos; which must be extolled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sebastian Vettel&lt;/strong&gt; (RBR-Renault) 84 pts: Excellent chap, with all the potential of a winner. Fighting until the very last moment and having a bit of bad luck an minor mistakes. Pretty sure his name will remain familiar in future seasons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 222px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402173126261684530" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/Svhf1h39OTI/AAAAAAAAAHE/V_sjcdWmQUY/s400/red+bull+rain.JPG" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rubens Barrichello&lt;/strong&gt; (Brawn-Mercedes) 77 pts: The good Barri. Jeez, I had weird feelings for what happened to him. He seems to be a nice person. He has a long trajectory in F1, ergo experience, and he ticks all the boxes required to be a champion. Unfortunately it seems that he is always deemed to play a “second driver” role. I was particularly happy when he won at Valencia and he went through the pits with all the other teams cheering him, specially Ferrari. Well deserved!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/NR7EnDugnNw&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/NR7EnDugnNw&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mark Webber&lt;/strong&gt; (RBR-Renault) 69.5 pts: Another good driver with some well deserved wins and of course, points. RBR didn’t do much at the early stages of the season, as it was dominated by Brawn, but the did show that he has what is required. The best of him was probably the way he defended his second play at Yas Marina.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lewis Hamilton&lt;/strong&gt; (McLaren-Mercedes) 49 pts: fast, talented, dirty driver, liar and an obnoxious character if you ask me. I enjoyed his “performance” at Spa and Monza.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/JwV33SX-qm8&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/JwV33SX-qm8&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel sorry for him... (well, not really)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Non dire parole..." &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everybody loves him :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kimi Räikkönen&lt;/strong&gt; (Ferrari) 48 pts: What can I say? Not his best performance at the early stages of the season; however they are completely justifiable by the fact that the car that was given to him was less than rubbish. However, an impressive came back on the second half of the season even having a first finish at Spa (he is getting used to that circuit) and a bunch of other podiums. It must be emphasized that Ferrari stopped developing his car months before the end of the season, and despite that he achieved excellent results, ending just one point behind the “harekrishna”, whose car was under constant development. Good result.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/471WGsG7Mrg&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/471WGsG7Mrg&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nico Rosberg&lt;/strong&gt; (Williams-Toyota) 34.5 pts: He must be banging his head for the few but dear mistakes he made. He should also pay more attention to where he leaves his helmet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jarno Trulli&lt;/strong&gt; (Toyota) 32.5 pts: Latin blood and Sutil can testify. Good start at Melbourne despite the fact that the “harekrishna” tried unsuccessfully to steal it from him. Not the best results in the overall; but not the best car either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fernando Alonso&lt;/strong&gt; (Renault) 26 pts: The only person that probably likes him is his mother, and I ain’t sure as I haven’t meet the woman. A typical “chulo”, heavier than a spoon of lead. However he is consistent on the track and that might bring him some good results in Ferrari. Still he is an utter c*nt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Timo Glock&lt;/strong&gt; (Toyota) 24: I will never be able to forget how he let the “harekrishna” pass him in Interlagos 2008. I reckon that McLaren is grateful to him. Poor performance throughout the 2009 season. He believes that with a podium is enough to secury a drivers seat, and he hasn’t realized that he is playing with the big boys now. He could learn a thing of two from Kobayashi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Felipe Massa&lt;/strong&gt; (Ferrari) 22 pts: The 2008 world champion to my eyes. Bad luck this season.

Ah, and he appeared a couple times on my screen whilst the race.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Robert Kubica&lt;/strong&gt; (BMW Sauber) 17 pts: Ugly as a fucking &lt;strike&gt;mule&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.filestube.com/719c55dca520ada003e9/details.html"&gt;konia&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Giancarlo Fisichella&lt;/strong&gt; (Ferrari) 8 pts: Blow your head off mate!

A mediocre driver and too proud of himself.

Y no es por atacar o criticar. Simplemente llegue a una etapa en mi vida en la cual me he dado cuenta de que la religion solamente es un instrumento que utilizamos para no sentirnos desprotegidos y solos. Es un instrumento mal utilizado tambien, si me lo preguntan; ya que invariablemente le atribuimos todos los eventos positivos a ese dios que es todo amor, pero la hambruna, genocidios, desastres naturales, enfermedades, y comida inglesa la dejamos a un lado y no se la achacamos a ese diosito. Es mas, por si fuese poco, le rezamos a ese dios para que no haya gente pobre, para que no haya mas secuestros, para que los pobrecitos de Indonesia tengan por lo menos agua potable y para que eso que parece mierda y le llaman haggis, sea en realidad mierda (que es menos peor). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahora bien, yo ultimamente me he dedicado a criticar entre mi circulo de amigos las muchas incoherencias que la religion presenta. Los mas viscerales me alegan que tambien se han hecho cosas “&lt;em&gt;buenas&lt;/em&gt;” en nombre de la religion, y me imagino con esto a que se refieren a algo mas que una &lt;em&gt;kermes en la inmaculada&lt;/em&gt;. Yo, en cambio, sigo argumentando y defiendo completamente el hecho de que se han hecho muchas mas cosas negativas en nombre de la religion que las que se hayan podido hacer a favor. Ni siquiera me voy a poner a enumerarlas, ya abundan los ejemplos y dudo que el servidor que guarda mi blog tenga tanto espacio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahora senyores les quiero dejar algo claro, no porque ustedes piensen y digan “&lt;em&gt;para mi vale mas el que el cura de mi colonia le de de comer a un cholo hambriento, que todas las cacerias de brujas y el bonito &lt;strong&gt;Malleus Maleficarum&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;”, eso les de la razon. Este tema &lt;strong&gt;no es una cuestion de opinion&lt;/strong&gt;, punto. Son realidades las que se tratan aqui, y estoy convencido de que la religion es una creacion que ha deformado en lo perverso.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A que viene todo esto?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Al nuevo libro de Jose Saramago “Cain” que tengo unas ganas tremendas de leer. En algunas de sus declaraciones menciona: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“&lt;em&gt;la Biblia era un manual de malas costumbres&lt;/em&gt;”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mas de alguno va a rebuznar “&lt;em&gt;noooo lo que pasa es que la Biblia esta sujeta a interpretacion&lt;/em&gt;”. Eso senyores, es una completa estupidez. Uno no puede andar por la vida utilizando como guia moral un libro que es interpretado como a cada quien le da la gana. Yo estoy muy de acuerdo con ensenyanzas puntuales y claras como “&lt;em&gt;ama a tu projimo&lt;/em&gt;”. Pero cuando se habla de genocidios, masacres, injusticias, falta de perdon, castigo, sufrimiento, eliminacion de grupos etnicos etc. y me salen con alguna pendejada alegorica o en sentido figurado que a cada quien le pinta de un modo distinto de acuerdo sus vivencias personales, lo encuentro tonto y reprobable. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sin ser maniqueista, las cosas hablan por si solas e insisto, no son cuestion de opinion. La fe la respeto, y si quieren creer en dios o en el flying spaghetti monster (los cuales estan igualmente fundamentados y comprobables) es problema de cada quien. Siempre y cuando no me afecte directa o indirectamente a mi. Ese es el limite.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahora, Saramago en varias partes (segun dice la prensa) menciona cosas como "&lt;em&gt;la Biblia es un manual de malas costumbres&lt;/em&gt;", que el texto contiene "&lt;em&gt;crueldad infinita&lt;/em&gt;" y "&lt;em&gt;carnicerias&lt;/em&gt;". Y todo eso es ciertisimo. De hecho me vino a la mente una de las frases de Richard Dawkins:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“&lt;em&gt;The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.” &lt;/em&gt;–&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La cual nadie puede negar tampoco. Pero Saramago va un poquito mas alla y dice  "&lt;em&gt;crueles somos nosotros, los hombres. Hemos inventado a un dios a nuestra imagen y semejanza&lt;/em&gt;", "&lt;em&gt;por eso es tan cruel, porque nosotros somos crueles&lt;/em&gt;".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ese es el punto clave en el que me quede pensando.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La mierda viene desde adentro.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6117194069723420515-3240739399120970809?l=harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/3240739399120970809'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/3240739399120970809'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com/2009/11/en-relacion-cain.html' title='En relacion a &quot;Cain&quot;'/><author><name>el aprendiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09430434546558486446</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SMD7d-JR5mI/AAAAAAAAAAk/ydK2lMt11lg/S220/finger.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194069723420515.post-3011929827518427650</id><published>2009-10-26T17:53:00.003Z</published><updated>2009-10-26T17:56:02.548Z</updated><title type='text'>The adventures of hate-boy: vol. 2</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SuXiSCBKRPI/AAAAAAAAAG8/EL3TOnhF3E4/s1600-h/nino_odio_Wednesday.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 301px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SuXiSCBKRPI/AAAAAAAAAG8/EL3TOnhF3E4/s400/nino_odio_Wednesday.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396968527880668402" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6117194069723420515-3011929827518427650?l=harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/3011929827518427650'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/3011929827518427650'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com/2009/10/adventures-of-hate-boy-vol-2.html' title='The adventures of hate-boy: vol. 2'/><author><name>el aprendiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09430434546558486446</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SMD7d-JR5mI/AAAAAAAAAAk/ydK2lMt11lg/S220/finger.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SuXiSCBKRPI/AAAAAAAAAG8/EL3TOnhF3E4/s72-c/nino_odio_Wednesday.JPG' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194069723420515.post-1963815429853366108</id><published>2009-10-13T16:05:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2009-10-13T16:10:48.024+01:00</updated><title type='text'>De cuando trabajaba en la tienda, vol. 2</title><content type='html'>Como ya les he dicho, yo trabaje en una tienda de abarrotes. El mayor ingreso de una tienda no esta en la venta de los cerillos "la central", las bolsas de jabon "Roma" ni en las latas de chiles "la moderna" como muchos se podrian -sabiamente- imaginar. No senyores, el mayor ingreso esta en la venta del alcohol y la cerveza. Y es que Mexico ademas de se un pais traga perros, tambien es cervecero y alcoholicon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pues bueno, un domingo estaba en la tienda tranquilo en mi desmadre, quitandole los vidrios rotos al montoncito de azucar que se me habia caido, cuando llego un cabron que le decian "el chapo". El chapo en sus ratos libres se hacia pendejo y tomaba. Y cuando no tomaba era pendejo de tiempo completo. Pues bueno, llego una tarde de esas en las que era un pendejo y borracho y me pidio que le vendiera 4 cervezas Victoria. Como era domingo, y en Michoacan hay/habia ley seca los domingos, le dije que no podia (era mas bien culeres y hueva de mi parte que apego y respeto a la ley). El como todo borracho insistio:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Andale… de volada las echo en la chamarra…&lt;br /&gt;- Hmmmm… no&lt;br /&gt;- Bueno, ponlas en una bolsa negra&lt;br /&gt;- No, no se puede&lt;br /&gt;- Me las pongo en las bolsas del pantalon&lt;br /&gt;- Neta?&lt;br /&gt;- Si, simon, pasamelas&lt;br /&gt;- No, mejor no&lt;br /&gt;- Bueno, ponlas en vasos desechables&lt;br /&gt;- A ver, esperame (y fui al refrigerador)&lt;br /&gt;- Si, si&lt;br /&gt;- Ya, solo queria checar que estuvieran frias porque sino, se queman!&lt;br /&gt;- Me las vas a vender, o no?&lt;br /&gt;- No&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En ese momento avento los envases que traia al suelo y saco un cuchillo. Me apunto con el cuchillo y me dijo:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Te voy a matar a la verga cabron!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Asi con negritas y todo. Despues se fue y se sento en la banqueta afuera de la tienda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ese dia me sali por la puerta de atras de la tienda y me fui con mucha cautela.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6117194069723420515-1963815429853366108?l=harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/1963815429853366108'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/1963815429853366108'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com/2009/10/como-ya-les-he-dicho-yo-trabaje-en-una.html' title='De cuando trabajaba en la tienda, vol. 2'/><author><name>el aprendiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09430434546558486446</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SMD7d-JR5mI/AAAAAAAAAAk/ydK2lMt11lg/S220/finger.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194069723420515.post-5684431883965680771</id><published>2009-10-12T12:22:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-10-13T16:05:10.302+01:00</updated><title type='text'>The adventures of hate-boy</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/StRkPI3mv0I/AAAAAAAAAG0/JwrUUN28Gzo/s1600-h/hate_boy.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 301px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/StRkPI3mv0I/AAAAAAAAAG0/JwrUUN28Gzo/s400/hate_boy.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392044865110851394" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6117194069723420515-5684431883965680771?l=harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/5684431883965680771'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/5684431883965680771'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com/2009/10/adventures-of-hate-boy.html' title='The adventures of hate-boy'/><author><name>el aprendiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09430434546558486446</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SMD7d-JR5mI/AAAAAAAAAAk/ydK2lMt11lg/S220/finger.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/StRkPI3mv0I/AAAAAAAAAG0/JwrUUN28Gzo/s72-c/hate_boy.JPG' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194069723420515.post-4427247278211389911</id><published>2009-09-30T18:26:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2009-09-30T18:30:21.206+01:00</updated><title type='text'>De cuando trabajaba en la tienda</title><content type='html'>Como ya ustedes saben, yo siempre me he caracterizado por ser una persona que busca hacerle el bien a los demas y ademas aderezo todo siempre con un poco de humor. Humor que no siempre ha sido bien apreciado ni recibido. En esta ocasion me acuerdo de cuando trabajaba en una tienda de abarrotes. Porque aunque a ustedes no les importa saber, o al menos no deberia, mi trayectoria laboral incluye una tienda de abarrotes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bueno, siguendo con el hilo de la historia, le decia que mi refrescante y simpactico sentido del humor no siempre ha sido recibido con buena cara. Un domingo, como a eso de las 18h49, llego un tipo entre ebrio y crudo, y que tenia toda la intencion de evitar la maldita cruda que le esperaba. Le echo una ojeada a los estantes de los vinos, sudo un poco, le echo un ojo rapido a su cartera y volvio la vista a los vinos. Despues, con la voz mas amigable que pudo me pregunto el precio de la solera de Bacardi. Despues de decirle lo que costaba me dijo:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Je je, caray, no puedes bajar el precio un poco cunyao?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y yo, como ademas de gracioso soy amable, le dije que “&lt;em&gt;seguro que si&lt;/em&gt;”.  Despues tome la cartulina del precio y la baje como unos 40 cm en el estante y anuncie:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Listo&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El cabron malagradecido y con un sentido del humor truncado por la falta de neuronas me insinuo que yo era un “&lt;em&gt;pinche muchacho mamon&lt;/em&gt;” y se fue de la tienda valbuceando no se que otras obscenidades.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ese dia apredi que la gente esta mal; y aparentemente el buen sentido del humor los pone peor.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6117194069723420515-4427247278211389911?l=harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/4427247278211389911'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/4427247278211389911'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com/2009/09/de-cuando-trabajaba-en-la-tienda.html' title='De cuando trabajaba en la tienda'/><author><name>el aprendiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09430434546558486446</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SMD7d-JR5mI/AAAAAAAAAAk/ydK2lMt11lg/S220/finger.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194069723420515.post-1663165829493266277</id><published>2009-09-29T16:47:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2009-11-09T18:37:15.923Z</updated><title type='text'>Ando triste</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/8280566.stm"&gt;"Alonso's move to Ferrari has been widely expected within F1 Ferrari are poised to announce that double world champion Fernando Alonso will join the team for 2010.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Spaniard, 28, has signed a two-year contract with options to extend and will earn a salary in the region of 19-25 million euros (£17.3m-£22.8m)."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pinche Alonso, todo lo echas a perder! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;:(&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6117194069723420515-1663165829493266277?l=harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/1663165829493266277'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/1663165829493266277'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com/2009/09/ando-triste.html' title='Ando triste'/><author><name>el aprendiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09430434546558486446</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SMD7d-JR5mI/AAAAAAAAAAk/ydK2lMt11lg/S220/finger.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194069723420515.post-3947903361321310755</id><published>2009-09-28T19:52:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2009-09-28T19:56:58.575+01:00</updated><title type='text'>When taking a shower...</title><content type='html'>There are several things in life that I find quite annoying and being disturbed when taking a shower is one of them. Have you ever been taking a shower and then suddenly:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;You realize that earlier that day you took the dirty towel and you forgot to put a clean one, then you have to go all wet and cold to the place where you store the towels to take one&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;You are all wet and then you realize that there is no shampoo left and you… (the same as the former but to look for a shampoo) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;You run out of water and you end up taking water from the WC deposit to wash the soap from your face away &lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;The mailman arrives and it is a parcel you need to sign for; you take a towel and go to sing in a bad mood. The mailman doesn't have a pen, it takes long you nearly get dry and he even expects tip &lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;The phone rings… you wait and think, if it is important, they will call back later. It keeps ringing… ringing… and you take the decision of going to answer and by the time you get there, they have hanged off. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;You feel like taking a shit&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Someone shouts at you; you reply as loud as you can "WHAT?". They say something again that you can't understand, and yell again "WHAT?????", there is indistinguishable speaking out there and then you decide to close the water; when you ask what was what they wanted they say "nothing, it was you the one calling…" &lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;You run out of hot water, try to wash as fast as you can, and when leaving the shower hit yourself you toe and it hurts as nothing you have experienced before. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Etc etc&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6117194069723420515-3947903361321310755?l=harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/3947903361321310755'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/3947903361321310755'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com/2009/09/when-taking-shower.html' title='When taking a shower...'/><author><name>el aprendiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09430434546558486446</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SMD7d-JR5mI/AAAAAAAAAAk/ydK2lMt11lg/S220/finger.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194069723420515.post-5630904756914698571</id><published>2009-09-08T15:32:00.013+01:00</published><updated>2009-11-04T18:40:06.708Z</updated><title type='text'>Spa Francorchamps 2009</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;My brief summary of the race at Spa (which I thoroughly enjoyed by the way):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 212px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379106038874218930" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SqZscVBBobI/AAAAAAAAAGg/IF-4m6WF6FE/s400/raikkonen+stalking+fisichella.JPG" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kimi Raikkonen wins for Ferrari in Belgium!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are not my words but pretty much summarize the most relevant bit of the race. Well, and Lewis “the hare Krishna” Hamilton rammed his “silver arrow” against a wall, with a little aid of Alguerusameramientesi (or whatever his name is). So I take this opportunity to openly thank Alguerusameramientesi for his good actions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now passing to the part I wanted to discuss: the declaration of Fisichella regarding the possibility of winning the race for Force India.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all, you might have noticed that none of the F1 presenters (except David Coulthard) seems to have idea of what they say. Eddy Jordan for instance is the “forecaster” and it turns out that any single forecast that he makes is wrong! Martin Brundle… well he is just a dear chap* who confuses his opinion with reality. Bearing all that in mind, you would rightly conclude that anything they say (except David Coulthard) should be multiplied by zero. However, this time i decided to pay a bit of attention when they “analyzed” a question putted to Fisichella:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Giancarlo, 8 pts and Force India’s best ever result; but, do you feel this is a race you could have won?&lt;br /&gt;- Eh, of course and ah eh is obviously is great result for us and … … I was quicker than Kimi, he could overtook me just because of the KERS…&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(verbatim)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eddy Jordan seem to agreed with such answer. For a start, the question is incomplete: “&lt;em&gt;this is a race you could have won?&lt;/em&gt;”. The "if..." part is missing. Fisichella might argue that he didn’t win “…just because of the KERS…”. Well, why not flip that coin and say “Just imagine what Kimi would have done with Fisichella’s aerodynamic package on top of his KERS". The question in that case would have been: "do you feel you were lucky you ending up 1'34.67'' after Kimi?".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could continue giving hypothetical examples like that but I think that I have already made my point. So, the summary of the whole thing is:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clearly that was a race that Fisichella could &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; have won, else he would have won it, period.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I have to take a shit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. Fisi, remember Suzuka 2005!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* note that I use "dear chap" and "daft cunt" indistinctly.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6117194069723420515-5630904756914698571?l=harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/5630904756914698571'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/5630904756914698571'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com/2009/09/spa-francorchamps-2009.html' title='Spa Francorchamps 2009'/><author><name>el aprendiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09430434546558486446</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SMD7d-JR5mI/AAAAAAAAAAk/ydK2lMt11lg/S220/finger.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SqZscVBBobI/AAAAAAAAAGg/IF-4m6WF6FE/s72-c/raikkonen+stalking+fisichella.JPG' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194069723420515.post-3735865320933813005</id><published>2009-08-04T17:55:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2009-08-04T18:03:07.147+01:00</updated><title type='text'>La dobladora</title><content type='html'>El otro dia me estaba acordando de mi juventud. Me acorde en especial, de que entre los de mi grupo de amigos, no solo nos unian unos fuertes lazos de quasi-hermandad, sino tambien unas generosas ganas de aplicarle una &lt;em&gt;dobladora&lt;/em&gt; al que se distrajera, solo para recordarle que ahi estabamos al pendiente de el.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parentesis:&lt;br /&gt;- Senyor, que es una &lt;em&gt;dobladora&lt;/em&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;- Ahhh, muy buena pregunta mi’jita. Una &lt;em&gt;dobladora&lt;/em&gt; es un putazo con una fuerza mayor a los 98.1 N aplicado justamente a la mitad de la longitud de las vertebras toracicas; con la finalidad de asistir a tu amigo a tener una mejor postura.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pues bueno, iba un dia yo tranquilo en mi desmadre cuando vi a un muchacho de apariencia conocida (al menos por la espalda), con postura descompuesta comprando un helado. “Ese es el Toninyo”, pense. Tome la posicion adecuada para maximizar la velocidad que mi punyo podria alcanzar y justo cuando le estaban entregando el helado:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PUMMMM!!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le azote una muy buena &lt;em&gt;dobladora&lt;/em&gt;, y le dije “Que paso Toninyo, que andas haciendo?”. Se quedo con el conito en la mano y la bolita de helado en el suelo, volteo despacio y … No era el Toninyo!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A la madre, se me fue la sagre a la pies de la verguenza. Le dije: “Perdon, te confundi con un amigo”. El, con la cara arrugada y apretando los dientes me dijo “Agggrrrr… no hay problema… agrrrrrr”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me fui, y me quede con un malestar adentro. Pero llegue a la conclusion de que no habia sido mi culpa.

Se require entrenamiento y condiciones fisicas optimas encima de las obvias cualidades. Pero eso no es todo, ademas se require de tener un par de huevos bien atornillados entre las piernas. Para muestra, un boton. Que fue lo que le paso a Felipe Massa?

The quest for perfect four strokes V8 naturally aspirated reciprocating engine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An in the middle of the hot metal, the carbon, the alloy technology, sits flesh and blood.

Y como en el Facebook se ponen muchas cosas que estan lejos de ser ciertas o relevantes, le di caso omiso por un momento. Despues, la foto me forzo a regresar y ver de que se trataba. Era un grupo que se postulaba en contra del uso de perros y gatos como carnada para la pesca de tiburones. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No lo crei.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me imagine que era una mamada, un hoax. Despues busque un poco y encontre esto en el national geographic y otros sitios (omito muchos para evitar repetir):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2005/10/1019_051019_dogs_sharks.html"&gt;Dogs used as shark bait on French island&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.zconcept.net/Ragnar/PDF/requins.pdf"&gt;l'île ou le chien est appâts&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.peacelink.it/animali/a/12320.html"&gt;A Reunion cani utilizzati come esche per gli squali&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Del matrato animal, esto sin duda califica entre las practicas mas desagradables, brutales, injustas, imperdonables y caprichosamente malevolas de las que me he llegado a enterar. La victima no solo sera el perro usado como carnada; evidentemente el tiburon no va a tener una mejor suerte despues de caer en las manos de estos brutales hijos de puta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No se me ocurre, y creo que no existe argumento alguno que estos cabrones puedan usar para justificar estas atrocidades. Segun entiendo no es una practica "muy comun" y quizas por eso no ha hecho tanto ruido aun. Entonces cuantos casos de este tipo se necesitan para llamar nuestra atencion y darle un putazo en la cara a nuestra capacidad de asombro?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simplemente intolerable.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6117194069723420515-366140731333620237?l=harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/366140731333620237'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/366140731333620237'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com/2009/05/chiens-utilises-comme-appats.html' title='Chiens utilisés comme appâts'/><author><name>el aprendiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09430434546558486446</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SMD7d-JR5mI/AAAAAAAAAAk/ydK2lMt11lg/S220/finger.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194069723420515.post-1714412369040887014</id><published>2009-05-25T23:04:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2009-05-25T23:06:36.770+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Hace mucho que no posteo</title><content type='html'>Se fijan como hace mucho que no posteo nada?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ya se!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6117194069723420515-1714412369040887014?l=harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/1714412369040887014'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/1714412369040887014'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com/2009/05/hace-mucho-que-no-posteo.html' title='Hace mucho que no posteo'/><author><name>el aprendiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09430434546558486446</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SMD7d-JR5mI/AAAAAAAAAAk/ydK2lMt11lg/S220/finger.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194069723420515.post-5502386795772333563</id><published>2009-05-12T15:30:00.005+01:00</published><updated>2009-05-28T16:25:17.542+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Me caen mal</title><content type='html'>Comienzo aceptando que es mi culpa. Es mi culpa por voltear y verlos, por aceptarlos, por tratar de entenderlos, por ser educado y amable con ellos. En muchos casos, desafortunadamente, son familiares y se siente feito ignorarlos o hacerles ver lo molestos que son.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De que las pocas veces que entro al Facebook ando esquivando como cerotes de perro por la calle las fotos, en las que se disfrazan, posan, se ponen flores, hacen sacan la lengua ensenyando sus “&lt;em&gt;tongue piercings&lt;/em&gt;”. Leer los titulos de los folders de fotos “&lt;em&gt;mi cumple&lt;/em&gt;”, “&lt;em&gt;antreando&lt;/em&gt;”, “&lt;em&gt;En la casa de Charlie&lt;/em&gt;”, “&lt;em&gt;just everything in life&lt;/em&gt;”, “&lt;em&gt;Inaguracion Louis Vuitton &amp;amp; Moresca&lt;/em&gt;”, y asi ad nauseam. Los apodos nicknames que se ponen “&lt;em&gt;Alex&lt;/em&gt;”, “&lt;em&gt;Nicole&lt;/em&gt;”, “&lt;em&gt;Charlie&lt;/em&gt;”. Asi, podria seguir apuntando a los detallitos que tanto me molestan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Porque me molestan? Sencillamente los leo, los veo, los sigo criticando y haciendome mierda el estomago cuando veo esas cosas que me generan verguenza ajena. Me caen mal su letreros con “&lt;em&gt;k&lt;/em&gt;”, me caen mal sus “&lt;em&gt;chidos&lt;/em&gt;” me cae mal que usen palabras en ingles para las cosas mas triviales “&lt;em&gt;vamos a la pool&lt;/em&gt;”, “&lt;em&gt;estas en tu house?&lt;/em&gt;”, “&lt;em&gt;voy en la bike&lt;/em&gt;”, etc. en resumen:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Me cagan la madre los pinches fresas!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mas de alguno va a saltar a decir “&lt;em&gt;ay pobre naquito&lt;/em&gt;”. Realmente me tiene sin cuidado. No se que metrica usen para aventar gente al costal de “&lt;em&gt;los nice&lt;/em&gt;” y “&lt;em&gt;los naquitos&lt;/em&gt;” pero seguramente esta basada en la etiqueta de tu camiseta, o por lo menos, que sea una copia fiel de alguna marca conocida. Es mas, si yo llegara -por error obviamente- a comprar una camiseta en una tienda como Zara y por accidente algun imbecil de esos me dijera que soy “&lt;em&gt;nice&lt;/em&gt;” en ese mismo momento tiro a la mierda la camiseta y me regreso a mi camiseta de “juntos con Zedillo” y mi gorra de “cemento tolteca”, porque solo de pensar que me llegaran a confundir con un imbecil de estos me pone la piel chinita y me da colicos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Los odio pinches fresas, vayanse a tirar a un puto pozo. Compren una desert eagle .50 y vuelense la cabeza a la mierda. Dense una sobredosis de cocaina/LSD/heroina/ositos-de-gomita en una “&lt;em&gt;party&lt;/em&gt;” y mueranse a la verga. Ahoguense en uno de sus fines de semana en Ixtapa/Acapulco/el-aljibe-de-su-casa. O unanse a la legion extranjera a ver si se les quita lo mamones y se hacen alguien de provecho.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Besitos&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6117194069723420515-5502386795772333563?l=harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/5502386795772333563'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/5502386795772333563'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com/2009/05/me-caen-mal.html' title='Me caen mal'/><author><name>el aprendiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09430434546558486446</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SMD7d-JR5mI/AAAAAAAAAAk/ydK2lMt11lg/S220/finger.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194069723420515.post-1403154918526465383</id><published>2009-04-23T18:03:00.007+01:00</published><updated>2009-04-24T15:59:33.362+01:00</updated><title type='text'>La noche en la que conoci al ninyo rata</title><content type='html'>La primera vez que vi al ninyo rata fue cuando yo impartia un laboratorio y el era estudiante undergrade. Desde el momento en que lo vi me dio mala espina: flaco, prieto, doblado, 6 pelos largos el labio superior, acento falso, camiseta y bufanda. Nunca lo trate, nuestros dialogos consistian en preguntas y respuestas limitadas exclusivamente al terreno academico. Despues de ese laboratorio no lo volvi a ver por un tiempo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pasado un anyo me entere que se habia inscrito en el postgrado. Lo salude y le di una de las felicitaciones ritual para generar entusiasmo. Al estar en el mismo edificio, inevitablemente nos encontrabamos y saludabamos con un:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Hey, you alright?&lt;br /&gt;- Not too bad mate, yourself?&lt;br /&gt;- Can’t complain, cheers!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El resto del tiempo nos ignorabamos cordialmente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pasados un par de anyos el ninyo rata socializo y comenzamos a tener “conocidos” en comun, hasta que eventualmente nos encontramos en los pubs. No teniamos nada en comun y por lo tanto hablabamos de cosas intrascendentes y tan entretenidas como un kilo de clavos sin cabeza de ¾”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Asi se mantuvieron nuestras interacciones hasta que tuvimos que viajar a China para una conferencia. El ninyo rata estaba entusiasmado, me busco e intercambiamos numeros de telefono. Ya en China nos saludabamos con cordialidad y haciamos planes para ir a chelear. Finalmente la noche libre llego. Salimos en ninyo rata y yo del hotel; yo llevaba una camiseta tipo polo y el iba con camiseta y bufanda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Primero fuimos a cenar un curry tailandes (ya estaba cansado de la comida china) y despues nos metimos a un bar que se veia bien. Cuando llegamos se adelanto a pedir e hizo el ridiculo pidiendo whisky para los dos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tomamos whisky. Revisamos a nuestro alrededor y despues tomamos mas whisky. Pasadas dos horas seguiamos tomando whisky hasta que su telefono sono. Era un companyero suyo que estaba afuera del bar y que no lo habian dejado entrar. Salimos y nos fuimos a otro bar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ya en el segundo bar ordene una cerveza y ellos no se que "cocktails". Como su amigo tiene platicas igual de entrenidas pero las hace mas intensas, opte por ignorarlos y me puse a ver como jugaban los locales con una especie de cubilete. Despues de entender las reglas, ver que el que perdia tenia que tomar y estando yo en 5/8 de mi escala de sobriedad; juzgue que seria buena idea que yo jugara.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me puse a jugar con la bartender y todo era felicidad, me hacia ojitos como de camisa entradole un boton y sonrisitas coquetonas. No sabria decir cuanto tiempo paso, pero recuerdo que fui al banyo y en el camino vi que el ninyo rata estaba valiendo madre solo porque su amigo se habia ido. “&lt;em&gt;ni pedo...&lt;/em&gt;" pense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cuando regrese, cual fue mi sorpresa?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El ninyo rata acosaba a la chinita como si el fuera una hiena y ella una cria de impala herida. La tenia por la mano y la azorrillaba sin piedad. Ahi fue cuando yo apareci. Iba a comenzar a poner los puntos sobre las ies cuando llego una chinita (de buen ver) y me saco a bailar. Yo, en mi ebriedad considere que seria mas importante poner en su lugar al ninyo rata que seguir con la chinita entusiasmada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ERROR de nuevo.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le dije amablemente al ninyo rata que me permitiera hablar con la senyorita (“&lt;em&gt;hazte a la verga pinche perro&lt;/em&gt;”). El ninyo rata dudo, se rasco la cabeza y despues de algunos comentarios acidos de mi parte se fue. Cinco minutos despues la chinita estaba tan borracha que no podia con su alma y yo estaba igual.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tengo que admitir que el ninyo rata se espero hasta el final. Al ver que se adelanto a buscar taxi, se preocupo por mi y ademas pago el taxi comprendi que seguia un poco apenado por las idioteces que habia hecho. Pero no lo bastante.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ya en mi habitacion, despues de vomitar y tirado en la regadera, me arrepenti de haberle dado mi numero.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img

type='text'>No vuelvo a comer tamales comprados en tienditas</title><content type='html'>Una vez, saliendo de la universidad con mucha hambre, pocas ganas de cocinar y aun menos efectivo; me fui a una tiendita de abarrotes que estaba en el barrio donde vivia (en ese tiempo vivia en un barrio feo de Monterrey). En Monterrey, a diferencia de partes civilizadas de la republica, venden cosas extranyas en las tienditas de abarrotes. Unas buenas y otras no tanto. Entre las cosas que no es buena idea comprar estan los tamales rellenos de carne de cerdo. Ignorando yo esto, en esa ocasion, me parecio una idea “viable” en el sentido economico y fisilogico. Compre mis tamales de 20 pesos, llegue a mi casa, los calente, me los empaque. Despues de unos tragos al bote de leche y de cepillarme los dientes me fui directo a la cama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No se a que hora exactamente comenzaron los retortijones, pero como a las 0300 hrs me levante a deyectar copiosas cantidades de material fecal en cambio de fase entre solido y liquido. Yo, al ser &lt;em&gt;taquero-traga-perros&lt;/em&gt; desde chico, lo diagnostique como una tipica evacuacion diarreica aislada y me dije “tranquilo, por la manyana solo sera un mal recuerdo…”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ERROR&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A la media hora, el sanitario me recibio nuevamente por un periodo mas prolongado y resistio estoicamente mis explosiones liquadas. Yo por otro lado me retorcia como un caracol con sal. Sentia espasmos en mi estomago como si una cobra encabronada se defendiera feroz mente dentro de mis intestinos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Asi llego la manyana y el medio dia. Para entonces, ya estaba yo deshidratado y tenia un color “pate higado de ganzo”, sudaba frio, la luz me quemaba la parte posterior de los ojos, me dolian todas las articulaciones, el pelo y las unyas. Por la calle las sombras de los pajaros me hacian agacharme asustado y los ruidos fuertes me resultaban una tortura.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Diagnostico: Salmonelosis marca “&lt;em&gt;nos veremos en el infierno&lt;/em&gt;”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Es un maldito calvario padecer esa enfermedad. Cuando iba al banyo dudaba si el sonido del “chorrito” era por miccionar o por evacuar. El imodium me hacia &lt;u&gt;&lt;a style="CURSOR: help"&gt;&lt;span class="help" title="Nunca he sabido que le hacia el viento a Juarez, pero asumo que nada."&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;lo que el viento a Juarez&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt;, el peptobismol solo tenyia de negro mis “heces” (si es que se les puede llamar asi en ese estado).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despues de 4 dias, ya estaba mejor y a los quince dias solo era un recuerdo de una pesima experiencia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pasado el tiempo, ibamos un amigo y yo por una cervezas para tirar cura en mi casa. Nos detuvimos en la misma tiendita y me dice mi amigo:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Ey, ven veras. Esos tamales se ven bien. Como ves, los compramos?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y yo hice lo que cualquier buen cristiano haria, le respondi:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Yo ya cene, pero se que estan bien sabrosos. Traetelos para que botanees.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6117194069723420515-2871075735335727583?l=harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/2871075735335727583'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/2871075735335727583'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com/2009/04/no-vuelvo-comer-tamales-comprados-en.html' title='No vuelvo a comer tamales comprados en tienditas'/><author><name>el aprendiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09430434546558486446</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SMD7d-JR5mI/AAAAAAAAAAk/ydK2lMt11lg/S220/finger.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194069723420515.post-3875525133158138898</id><published>2009-04-14T16:32:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2009-04-15T15:14:56.380+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Los pequenyos detalles</title><content type='html'>Voy...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Son los pequenyos detalles los que me recuerdan que estoy camino a China. Es mi boleto de avion en el que se lee "Beijing". Es el abrir mi cartera y ver los Yuan. El subirme al avion y ser recibido con un "&lt;em&gt;ni hao&lt;/em&gt;". El voltear a ver la pantalla en donde el GPS da informacion de la locacion actual y destino con caracteres chinos. El recibir la comida y notar la ausencia de cuchillo y tenedor, pero en su lugar ver palillos chinos . El pato con fideos transparentes que esta en lugar de la ensalada. La tarjeta de indicaciones de "&lt;em&gt;en caso de emergencia&lt;/em&gt;" con dibujos de personas orientales y letreros en chino.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estoy...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Son los pequenyos detalles los que me recuerdan que he llegado a China. El cielo gris lleno de NOx, CO2, polvo y sabra el FSM que mas. El tener que darle una tarjeta con varios destinos escritos en chino al taxista, y senyalarle el que me interesa ir. Es el control remoto de la television con letreros en chino. Los mares de bicicletas estacionados por las banquetas. El olor a aceite rancio en los puestos de "fritangas". Son los patos colgados por el cuello y de color naranja en las tiendas de abarrotes. Los banyos que tienen un hoyo con el cual tienes que alinear tu culo si quieres cagar sin hacer desastres.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324560718311050194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SeSjwzfty9I/AAAAAAAAAF0/ql0MUIMvXi0/s400/DSC00531.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pero sobretodo...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Las recuas interminables que suman 1.4 billones de elementos.

Ver en los menus de los restaurants sugerencias de platillos que inlcuso mis perros dificilmente aceptarian. Ser el centro de atencion en una especie de freak-show donde uno es el especimen raro.

Ademas no le veo ninguna conexion al hecho de que sus ondas cerebrales beta en la etapa REM se fijen en mi y que de ahi infieran que su suenyo tiene algo que ver con mi estado emocional/salud/fisico/economico. Lo mismo me podrian decir: “&lt;em&gt;la temperatura en Nanjing es de 8 oC, estas bien&lt;/em&gt;?” y tendria exactamente la misma correlacion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“&lt;em&gt;Que dios te bendiga&lt;/em&gt;” Eso que? No voy a entrar en detalles de si dios/Dios existe o no. De la misma manera en la que yo respeto en que alguien crea en: un viejito barbon vestido con una sabana blanca y sandalias, un elefante que debe de gastar copiosas cantidades de dinero en manicure o un ente amorfo; ellos deben de respetar que yo crea a las deidades como un elemento neutro aditivo. O en todo caso respetar que yo les de la bendicion de la ilglesia del FSM… yarg!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Que un mexicano pregunte “&lt;em&gt;Eyyy,&lt;/em&gt; c&lt;em&gt;omo estas&lt;/em&gt;?” Todos los mexicanos lo hacen de manera automatica y realidad es que tu estado les importa lo mismo que el numero exacto de fijoles en el taco que se desayunaron. Preguntan solo por protocolo. La respuesta automatica a dicha pregunta es “&lt;em&gt;bien y tu&lt;/em&gt;?” Para que responder eso si a ti tambien a ti importa lo mismo que un pedazo de apio crudo el como este esa persona? En todo caso el saludo debe de ser: "&lt;em&gt;hola&lt;/em&gt;", y la respuesta: "&lt;em&gt;hola&lt;/em&gt;", punto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Que alguien comience un dialogo con un "&lt;em&gt;Sabes que me dijo _______?"&lt;/em&gt; Esa una pregunta protocolo-ninyo-fresa tonta en verdad. Evidentemente no se que les dijo ______, y muy probablemente les voy a contestar no solo que no lo se, sino que ademas no me interesa.

This “gain” can be of any form; for the seller this gain is usually economical and for the buyers it is usually a service or a good. Clearly all of us are familiar with the concept either implicitly or explicitly. As I have already implied, even the most primitive market consists at least of two parts: a &lt;em&gt;seller&lt;/em&gt; and a &lt;em&gt;buyer&lt;/em&gt;. If you are willing to sell a good/service but there is no one interested in it, you will never make any profit and, if you are rational, you will no longer be encouraged to continue with such activity. On the other hand, if you are a buyer and the demand for the commodity/good that you are after increases, then this will incentivate someone to take part in the market by providing/producing, since potential for profits arose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You might say that all what I have mentioned in the above paragraph is obvious for anyone with a little common sense; and I would certainly concur. However I have not spoken of any specific good/commodity/service. These services/goods could be virtually &lt;em&gt;whatever.&lt;/em&gt; Drugs and narcotis are for instance "goods" highly valued with an extremely high demand, thus, the problem of drug-dealing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where am I trying to convey with all this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently I heard on the news that the US announced that Mexico is on the verge or already a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failed_state"&gt;failed state&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica/poll/2009/mar/25/mexico-failed-state"&gt;suggesting that the drug cartels have taken control over parts of Mexico&lt;/a&gt;*.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I must admit that the situation in Mexico is a bit less than acceptable. But –here comes the but- Mexico must not be the recipient of the full mantle of responsibility. As I pointed out, in order for a market to exist, at least two parts are required: the seller (Mexico among others) and the buyer (guess who...). I entirely agree with the fact that the drug trafficking MUST also be stopped from the very roots. However, I only want to point out that it would be extremely helpful if the government that shelter the end users did something to reduce the demand that they are placing on the market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I insist, Mexicans MUST vanquish the supply (so far they have utterly failed to do so), but they cannot control the demand. And as demand increases, stronger incentives to create a market are generated. Furthermore, as the demand increases larger market prices are set, generating further incentives for the suppliers to take part of the market. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317523807367731058" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 316px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/ScujurbWF3I/AAAAAAAAAFs/MbXj--mmrNA/s400/supply-demand.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Market clearing process&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;Now I have to work, so sod off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;* There is a poll there as well&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Addendum&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;Recently a friend of mine passed me on this short documentary on drug trafficking in Mexico.

Como no enontre nada interesante en la red, entre a la lista Forbes para ver si la habian actualizado y por ende ya aparecia yo en el lugar 6,773,969,905; –el cual, dicho sea de paso, no es nada despreciable-. Como no apareci, me quede esperando por uno momento y no paso nada; despues espere unos minutos mas y tampoco paso nada. Como tenia mucho trabajo, pocas ganas de hacerlo y no estaba pasando nada, me puse a meter nombres cuasi-aleatorios y salio &lt;a href="http://www.forbes.com/lists/2009/10/billionaires-2009-richest-people_Joaquin-Guzman-Loera_FS0Y.html"&gt;esta joyita:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313787489779784306" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 224px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/Sb5dkXw9GnI/AAAAAAAAAEg/YQ2XRQPepH0/s320/joaquin-guzman-loera.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Net Worth: $1.0 bil&lt;br /&gt;Fortune: self made&lt;br /&gt;Source: Drug Trafficking&lt;br /&gt;Age:54&lt;br /&gt;Country Of Citizenship: Mexico&lt;br /&gt;Residence: Sinaloa State&lt;br /&gt;Industry: &lt;strong&gt;Shipping&lt;/strong&gt; (jajaja...

No, a este lo habia visto recientemente, pero donde?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despues de un momento me llego la respuesta como un putazo a media cara:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;EN EL ESPEJO!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Si, se me hizo parecido a mi. Obviamente no igual, porque es bien sabido que yo soy muy atractivo, pero habia cierto parecido. Busque mas fotos de el y bendito sea el FSM esa era la unica que tenia parecido. Aun asi dude y pense que solo yo le habia encontrado parecido. Para sacudirme esta duda decidi hacer un experimento: puse esa foto en mi Messenger y recopile impresiones.

Salimos y seguimos secos de ideas y buen juicio. Como no sabiamos que hacer decidimos ir a mi casa a jugar con un “Nintendo” chino, de esos que vienen con los doscientos juegos mas culeros que te puedas imaginar preinstalados. Ibamos ya en camino, valiendo madre y con un cigarro en la boca. Raro porque recuerdo que no ibamos diciendo algo que valiera la pena. Y no es que tuvieramos platicas filosoficas o profundas, pero por lo general no nos paraba el hocico de burlarnos de alguien o de decir pendejadas. El –para matar el tiempo- iba con la cabeza apoyada en la puerta (?) yo manejaba.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paso despues un &lt;em&gt;gordo&lt;/em&gt; en un Jetta verde (aun me acuerdo) en sentido opuesto. Se nos quedo viendo en forma retadora y amenazante con su peor cara de malandrin. Yo de volada detuve a Cleto y el &lt;em&gt;puerco&lt;/em&gt; de jetta tambien se detuvo pero unos metros atras de nosotros:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;amigo: Que pedo?&lt;br /&gt;yo: Aquel pinche &lt;em&gt;cerdo&lt;/em&gt; se quedo viendo clavo&lt;br /&gt;amigo: neta? Regresate, se lo va a cargar la verga!&lt;br /&gt;Yo: … … sobres!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El &lt;em&gt;marrano&lt;/em&gt; en cuestion tenia el doble de masa que nosotros y por lo menos 1/3 mas de nuestra edad, pero –aqui viene el gran pero- nosotros eramos mas valientes, agiles, astutos y lo mas importante, eramos dos! Meti reversa, y quemando llanta nos le acercabamos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para mi sorpresa la pinche &lt;em&gt;marsopa&lt;/em&gt; no huyo. Se bajo del coche con una pistola, y yo, -como ya dije antes- aplique toda mi astucia y segui vuelto madres en reversa. El &lt;em&gt;cerote&lt;/em&gt; aquel se subio a su jetta y nos siguio. No es por presumir, ni por exagerar, pero me cae que manejo chingonsisimo. Me avente unas maniobras y vueltas en reversa que cualquier stunt driver sonyaria con hacer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Huelga decir que durante esos momentos yo no podia ver lo que sucedia al frente, ya que iba poniendo atencion hacia atras del coche. Mientras, el de mi amigo comenzo a gritar:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“YA VALIO MADRE, VA A DISPARAR!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y en seguida se tiro el piso del coche, se tapo la cabeza con las manos y siguio repitiendo como epileptico el “YA VALIO MADRE”. A mi, mi instinto de supervivencia me sugeria que siguiera huyendo, pero despues de sacar cuentas mentales vi que era futil seguir en reversa y el &lt;em&gt;jabali&lt;/em&gt; siguiendonos de frente. Me detuve, y el &lt;em&gt;suido&lt;/em&gt; aquel se bajo pistola en mano:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;mamifero artiodactilo&lt;/em&gt;: Que pedo putos?&lt;br /&gt;Yo: ermm…. No, nada… te confundi con un camarada…&lt;br /&gt;Amigo: (sobs)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;mamifero artiodactilo&lt;/em&gt;: (cara de confundido) ehhh … sobres puto, pues cuidado conmigo. Y cuidadito y me mandas partir la madre… (voltea al suelo y busca con la mirada a mi amigo y dice) y tu tambien puto ehhh&lt;br /&gt;Amigo: si, ok…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Se nos quito lo valientes!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Llegamos a mi casa, y nos quedamos calladitos por una hora mas o menos y no tocamos el tema por el resto del dia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahh tampoco jugamos Nintendo.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6117194069723420515-4160363872552336570?l=harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/4160363872552336570'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/4160363872552336570'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com/2009/03/vamos-jugar-nintendo.html' title='Vamos a jugar nintendo'/><author><name>el aprendiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09430434546558486446</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SMD7d-JR5mI/AAAAAAAAAAk/ydK2lMt11lg/S220/finger.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194069723420515.post-2107925535448131042</id><published>2009-03-05T14:47:00.000Z</published><updated>2009-03-05T15:20:19.968Z</updated><title type='text'>Cerro sus ojitos Cleto</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;El otro dia andaba leyendo un post que me hizo recordar mi primer coche: Cleto. Cleto era un Datsun 200-SX negro (a.k.a Datsun Sakura), 2 pts, hardtop couope (a huevo!), con una maquinota de 1.8 lts, 4 cilindros, 8 valvulas y 120 garanyones de fuerza. Echense este trompo a la unya:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/Sa_pJA4D9YI/AAAAAAAAAEY/Fnm32nZwEDs/s400/82200SX_DatsunAd_small.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 317px; height: 247px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309718826756339074" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le pertenecio a mi padre, y como yo soy fresa, pues me lo pasaron a mis escasos 15 anyos, que para entonces, ya tenia yo una licencia provisional (alterada, a huevo!) . Como tambien ya trabajaba en una tienda de abarrotes (esa es otra historia), mi lastimoso salario se iba en echarle gasolina y hacerle reparaciones de vez en cuando. El coche tenia goteras, llantas lisas como melones (yo alegaba que eran &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slick_tire"&gt;slicks&lt;/a&gt;, a huevo!) y la bobina jodida. Pero aun asi tenia mis prioridades bien claras y sabia en que gastar el excedente del dinero de la gasolina: sonido (a huevo!). Me hice un de un par de amplificadores; un Clarion (decente) y un Pyramid (todo sarra). Los dos de dos canales y movian un par de Rockford Fosgate Punch subwoofers de 10’ (a huevo!), un par de Blaupunkt 9x6’’ + un par Pionner 9x6’’ (habia un cagadero de impedancias). Todo esto ecualizado por un Kenwood KGC-4042A de 5 bandas (estaba curado). El estereo? Un Sony, no recuerdo que modelo, pero la caratula se bajaba como puertita de guantera y ahi estaba la entrada para casettes, (echenle cuentas de hace cuanto fue esto), y obviamente se le quitaba la caratula para que la presumieras con tus camaradas mas jodidos. Todo esta &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olla_podrida"&gt;olla podrida &lt;/a&gt;de marcas hacian brincar tu cerveza si la ponias sobre la cajuela de mi poderoso Cleto, (solo un rato porque se bajaba la bateria :s).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tambien, como era la moda, le cambie los faros originales, (unos que estaban sellados) por unos Hella que se les podia cambiar la bombilla. Los perfore y les puse sus “&lt;em&gt;velas&lt;/em&gt;” para que se viera todo pantera.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parentesis:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(NUNCA, pero NUNCA me ha parecido modificar los coches por fuera. A mi parecer es una de las cosas de peor gusto. No estoy en contra de que le pongas cosas utiles siempre y cuando no sean evidentes o tan evidentes. A lo sumo, meterle unos rines y listo. Los spolilers, antenas y demas pendejadas de ornamento se ven culerisimas e insultan a todo aquel que se vea forzado a ver tu porqueria en la pinche calle. Para que quieren un spoiler de 2 mts cuando tu porqueria de Chevy no rebasa los 60 km/h? En fin, ese tema para otro post).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Listo, sigamos:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tambien le meti unos faritos para niebla (blancos, a huevo!) que eran los de menos potencia y los que siempre usaba por estar en deficit de Watts. Recuerdo perfectamente que cuando llovia tenia que elegir que se iba a alimentar (tipo Apolo 13). Yo como siempre me he caracterizado por un excelente sentido comun eligia: &lt;em&gt;Sonido + Algo-Indispensable&lt;/em&gt; (e.g. faros, limpiadores o aire para desempanyar). Sustos? Pocos, pero siempre con Nirvana como musica de fondo (a huevo!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Otro parentesis:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;( ).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Listo, sigamos:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En ese coche fue tambien en el que me amenazaron por primera vez con una pistola, (Nota mental: esa es otra historia que a huevo voy a escribir despues), tambien fueron de mis primeros &lt;em&gt;masajes&lt;/em&gt; formales, pedas irresponsables, sustos que hacen que se te vaya la sangre a las patas, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En fin, al final lo vendi. Una decision racional pero con una cuota emocional alta. Le estaba metiendo dinero bueno al malo.

No, FSM and me!</title><content type='html'>I was born in a “&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholicism"&gt;catholic&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;” family. As expected, I didn’t have much of a choice at the moment in which I was baptized. I was brain-washed about those things regarding Jebus and his holy team, and thus I said I was “catholic”. However I must admit (with great fear and in a very low voice, so as not to let Jebus know) that I wasn’t that devote. I attended mass on Sunday more because I was expected to join my grandmother rather than because of free will. Actually I never attended a mass on my own. However, I did have some sort of fear towards being “bad” or doing something that could annoy the good god. As time went by I just stopped paying attention to all that nonsense, but there was an eco inside me that reminded me of Jebus and god.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I started making questions about different issues, I always averted –with fear and dogma, as my lovely religion taught me- questioning anything regarded to god. But then, if god created everything, how could I possibly avert such topic?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I didn’t; but for the peace of my soul I found &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantheism"&gt;pantheism&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. I went on thinking that I was pledging respect to my good lord and at the same time making sense to the things that were backed-up by overwhelming evidence. After all, god made it that way –I thought-. My relationship didn’t involve any church… it was more like a boutique in which I just took the main frame of my previous religion and adapted it to my understanding. Of course I couldn’t call myself catholic any longer. So I decided that I would confess that I believed in god, period.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But which god? Then I asked myself. Since I was raised under the believes of a book that no-one ever read, or could explain to me, I was forced to had a look and the bible, and what I found was wrong, very wrong! How could anyone live under such morals? He who declares himself a catholic either hasn’t read the bible or hasn’t understood it. It is a savage, gore, arbitrary, comic and random book. Clearly that wasn’t the god I was going to believe in… Since I understood that there was always a cause and an effect then I placed no face and no name to my god… that pantheistic god that ruled the things that made sense. But… does it make sense to “believe/pray” to something that has a natural explanation? Did it really have divine properties the process of boiling water and evaporating it? Does it really make sense to attribute mysterious forces to a resistor that gets heated because of the flow of some electrons through it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Boh!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The truth is that all that phenomena has an explanation and all of them can be reproduced and validated under controlled environments. But they, by  themselves, do not contitute proof that accounts for the existence or non existence of any god. Under that scope I started thinking that if god exits, a proof wouldn’t harm anyone. And by a proof I do not mean a “miracle” without explanation, (eventually such things are explained anyway). I want something tangible. Why so sly? Why so stealthy? Is it possible that he doesn’t exist?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It cannot be proven nor one nor the other, therefore I become &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnosticism"&gt;agnostic&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But now, something new has emerged, something that really makes sense. Something that has all the “qualities” of a religion and at the same time explains things. Something that fulfils all requirements:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.venganza.org/"&gt;The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308615202964013010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 212px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/Sav9Zp3of9I/AAAAAAAAAEQ/zNN_xl6KFx4/s400/th_FSM3d.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, now I am a &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pastafarian"&gt;pastafarian&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;These guys even have an ontological argument for the existence of the FSM:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;P1. The Flying Spaghetti Monster is a being which has every perfection&lt;br /&gt;P2. Existence is a perfection.&lt;br /&gt;C. Therefore, the Flying Spaghetti Monster exists. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Can anyone possible find a flaw on that?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately I cannot describe in details all the main features of this religion (that actually makes sense) among other things because of limitations in time but mainly because I already got bored writing.

Pero tampoco se los debe de guardar uno… después te estallan en el culo y eso es muy doloroso.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Porque estoy emputado? Pues bien, la razon es la misma desde hace tiempo. Hay un chino idiota que no tiene la mas minima consideracion por los demas. Este cabron es atascado, miserable, envidioso y feo como una mula. Pero hoy no me refiero a ninguno de esos bellos atributos. Hoy me encabrona que por ahorrarse unos pence vine a cagar el lenyo a la oficina llamando a tus amigos maricones (porque tambien tiene rasgos maricones) a gritos y no deja trabajar a nadie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Razones por las que eso me resulta tan molesto:&lt;br /&gt;- No habla, el cabron grita&lt;br /&gt;- Su lengua madre es tan agradable al oido como escuchar a los gansos graznar&lt;br /&gt;- Sus llamadas duran en promedio 45 min (no es mamada)&lt;br /&gt;- Llama por lo menos 2 veces al dia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pero no toda la culpa es suya. He de admitir que el 80% es mia. Yo soy el que deberia de marcar los limites.

Pero encuentro particularmente curioso, que los chinos con los que me ha tocado convivir son invariablemente los mas molestos. Y no me refiero a su sola presencia que, esta casi siempre (enfatizo, no en todos los casos, pero con mucha frecuencia) llena de aspectos desagradables que conciernen a las mas elementales ausencias de higiene. Por ejemplo:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;¤ Exudan con un olor fetido, como la ropa que ha sido almacenada humeda y despues de meses se le usa.&lt;br /&gt;¤ Tienen las unyas largas, sucias y retorcidas. &lt;a href="http://www.killsometime.com/Pictures/images/Fritos.jpg"&gt;Las de los pies les deben de asemejar a los Fritos &lt;/a&gt;(esta es pura especulacion)&lt;br /&gt;¤ Tienen aliento a pescado putrefacto&lt;br /&gt;¤ Eructan con un naturalidad frecuencia que solo se compara con un “que onda guey?” en una colonia proletaria del DF&lt;br /&gt;¤ Mastican como cerdos, literalmente&lt;br /&gt;¤ Among others&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No, no es ninguna de esas a la que me ha estado perturbando ultimamente. A la que me refiero es a esa pinche falta de respeto y sentido comun, (de casi todos los que conozco) que les impide tomarse la delicadeza de irse a la loma de la mierda cuando quieran comunicarse entre ellos. Y es que parece que los pendejos se comunicaran de loma a loma… GRITAN! Y para aderezar aun mas esta desagradable experiencia, hablan en su horrible lengua. Si, no tienen nada de agradable el mandarin o chino o no lo que sea. Es una pinche lengua que resulta ofensiva a cualquier oido que no sea de artillero o chicharronero. Y si esto fuese poco, los hijos de puta, se comunican a su natal muladar usando Skype. Quien sale afectado? A huevo que todos los que esten cerca!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En fin, le podria seguir echando mas lenya al fuego, pero este post es en realidad solo una recordatorio de lo mucho que hoy, me resulta su molesta manera de comunicarse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adios&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6117194069723420515-6603888708998123602?l=harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/6603888708998123602'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/6603888708998123602'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com/2009/01/un-poquito-de-respeto.html' title='Un poquito de respeto'/><author><name>el aprendiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09430434546558486446</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SMD7d-JR5mI/AAAAAAAAAAk/ydK2lMt11lg/S220/finger.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194069723420515.post-2965055703090852046</id><published>2009-01-14T12:37:00.000Z</published><updated>2009-01-14T12:56:36.243Z</updated><title type='text'>Back to our regular show</title><content type='html'>G*** says:good morning, daft arse&lt;br /&gt;M** says:good morning daft cunt&lt;br /&gt;G*** says:and how the devil are you this fine morning, cock nose?&lt;br /&gt;M** says:very well, thank you for asking you uphill gardener.

And it is particularly contrasting to me the city that I left behind six years ago with the city that I saw on my last visit. People are really aggressive and you can feel the tension all around: while you are driving, if you are queuing for the tortillas, if you are buying stolen goods, et cetera.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what does all this comes to? Well, the other day, while I was driving and on a stop at a traffic light, I started to move forward when suddenly a taxi driver overpasses me and then changes to my lane nearly hitting my car. As expected on well mannered gentleman as myself, I got fucking annoyed; but I calmly started to take deep breathes and to repeat “&lt;em&gt;goosfraba… goosfraba…&lt;/em&gt;”. It didn’t quite work, so I went after the taxi driver and I did the same to him/her/them (I couldn’t see inside their car, it had dark glassed windows). By now, you might have seen the flaw in my plan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A rather nasty dynamic started among us and we nearly crash. Finally, we reached a traffic light after a long while and my car was behind his/hers/theirs. He/she/they waited until all the cars, except us were gone. Since he/she/they didn’t move I thought that it would be acceptable to give him/her/them a friendly reminder about having a green traffic light. Then I hit the back part of his/hers/theirs car with mine and then proceed to push it. The outcome, as expected was noisy, full of smoke and satisfaction.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316348377288455986" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 363px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 379px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/Scd2rpKAtzI/AAAAAAAAAFI/K12McxMl99g/s400/taxi+infernal.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;When I reckoned that I had their attention I moved back on my car. Then, 2 guys apparently annoyed, (for god knows what reason) came out of the taxi with metal clubs and started running towards me! In that very moment I realized that things could end up in blood and pain if I didn’t make a gracious escape. Thanks to my nimble a precise reactions I managed to find a route free of obstacles and started to press full throttle. Unfortunately the cunning taxi drivers threw the heavy piece of metal at a speed of about 189.3 km/h to me! &lt;strong&gt;YES THEY WANTED TO HURT ME&lt;/strong&gt;!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316348731932707314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 363px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 379px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/Scd3ASTyifI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/8EZFHyzOyCc/s400/taxi+infernal+escape.JPG" border="0" /&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Once again I have to be grateful to my fast reactions and to the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horsepower#Brake_horsepower"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;bhp&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; of my powerful car that managed to displace enough so that the piece of metal hit the rear window only; and of course it broke it and created further damage to the interior of the car. For a moment of two I toyed with the idea of escaping even faster. But as the brave man that I am, I ran away at a moderate speed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290801928418831650" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SWy0UnBbLSI/AAAAAAAAADM/Yz6eS4Z7Feo/s320/DSC00210.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fucking people, how can they be so aggressive?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I shall not tolerate such nefarious behaviour from any taxi driver again!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6117194069723420515-5646982801553810577?l=harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/5646982801553810577'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/5646982801553810577'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com/2009/01/bloody-violence.html' title='Bloody violence'/><author><name>el aprendiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09430434546558486446</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SMD7d-JR5mI/AAAAAAAAAAk/ydK2lMt11lg/S220/finger.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/Scd2rpKAtzI/AAAAAAAAAFI/K12McxMl99g/s72-c/taxi+infernal.JPG' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194069723420515.post-4213260546793436024</id><published>2009-01-01T21:45:00.000Z</published><updated>2009-01-01T23:04:35.126Z</updated><title type='text'>Reflexión jodida</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SV077TIcu3I/AAAAAAAAACs/_ChSzIlOzW0/s1600-h/seleccion-mexicana.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ayer en mis ratos de sano esparcimiento me puse a ver un típico programa en los que se hace un listado de lo más relevante del 2008. Lo vi principalmente por enterarme de lo que ha pasado en este país platanero en lo que no he estado aquí. En eso estaba con las escenas gore de lo que sucedió en Morelia con las granadas, los asesinatos en Baja California, los muertos en Tijuana et cetera, cuando se paso a la parte deportiva. Me quede viéndola por morbo y por sufrir un poquito más viendo cuando ha ganado el simio de Hamilton, pero –como es de esperarse en un pinche país traga perros como este- no pasaron nada de la F1 y si todo lo que concierne al pinche deporte de masas jodidas conocido como futbol. Ahí me entere que la gloriosa y sacrosanta selección mexicana ha tenido 3 directores técnicos (generales, patriarcas, regenteadores, padrinos, entrenadores, o lo que sea) durante una temporada. Esto obviamente lo encuentro curioso y un poquito alarmante. Porque? Veamos:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Para que juegue la selección necesita de un director técnico que dirija la orquesta. Este director es contratado y debe de cumplir con ciertas metas –que no sé quien fije- de ganar no se cuantos juegos o llegar a no se que parte del campeonato. Si esto no sucede, "&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;obviamente&lt;/span&gt;” (para el hato de imbéciles que siguen el futbol y lo defienden) es culpa del director técnico y no de los 11, 20, o 50 pendejos que salen a hacer el ridículo a la cancha! Esto lo encuentro en extremo aberrante. Como es posible que se culpe a un pendejo ambicioso por el pobre desempeño de sus jugadores? Si tiene solo deficientes mentales en su grupo, difícilmente va a alcanzar mayores resultados que burlas por parte del equipo contrario:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); "&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SV077TIcu3I/AAAAAAAAACs/_ChSzIlOzW0/s320/seleccion-mexicana.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286447427536862066" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 218px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;A poco no?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ahora bien, ese conclusión la encontré muy lógica, y me atreví a comentársela a un amigo que SI le gusta el futbol y el amablemente me hizo ver que los directores técnicos realmente SE COMPROMETEN a entregar dichos resultados y si no lo logran se van. Mi amigo se quedo muy satisfecho con la aclaración que me hizo y a mí se me hizo aun más aberrante. Porque? Veamos:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Si tu eres un director técnico y te ofrecen generosas cantidades de dinero por comprometerte a que un grupo de avestruces vuelen para migrar a lugares mas calidos durante el invierno, tu procesos de digestión mental debe de ser mas o menos asi: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;A ver a ver, me quedo valiendo madre todo el tiempo sin trabajo o me comprometo a que estos pendejos le gananen a Brasil, Italia, Inglaterra, Francia, etc etc a cambio de copiosas cantidades de dinero? Si no ganan me corren, pero lo bailado nadie me lo quita. Si no acepto me quedo valiendo madre comiendo frijoles enlatados toda la temporada.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;La respuesta para cualquiera con 2 dedos de frente es obvia. El director técnico se compromete a que el grupo de mono-neuras apopléjicos de la selección mexicana gana la copa mundial!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Mientras esa mentalidad siga instalada en todos los idiotas que siguen el futbol y los que participan en él, NUNCA se van a lograr resultados. Cada uno de los participantes debe de asumir sus responsabilidades y no delegárselas al pendejo del director técnico. Si tú tienes el balón entre las patas, no importa si es Pele tu director técnico, si tu estas pendejo no vas a meter ningún gol, punto. Si se les sigue ofreciendo dinero ad vomitum a los directores técnicos ellos se van a seguir comprometiendo a que ni Jesús junto con sus apóstoles le va a ganar a la gloriosa selección mexicana, (Y eso que la selección celestial tiene a Diosito Bimbo de director técnico).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Señores, asuman sus responsabilidades y déjense de pendejadas. Si tu tienes algo que hacer, no porque traigas una crucecita en el cuello o una oración a la Santa Inquisición en la cartera se va a hacer. Tampoco se va a hacer si tu jefe es una persona exitosa y que en un lapsus brutus te contrató. Si tu estas pendejo o no mueves un dedo por hacer las cosas que te corresponden, tu tarea va a valer madre, le eches la culpa a quien se la eches.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;De nada.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"

scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='F1'/><title type='text'>With his head held high</title><content type='html'>Se dice que cada vez que Hamilton gana una carrera a Dios le cae pesada la santa cena y de puro coraje se pone a mandar huracanes, terremotos, variantes virales atribuidas fielmente a los chinos y cuanta pendejada le atraviese por su santisima cabeza para compensar –segun el- el “karma”. Se dice tambien que el dia en que Hamilton gane el mundial de la F1 los jinetes del Apocalipsis van a salir rompiendo madres por todo el mundo azotandonos con sus respectivas especialidades. Esto, como un monton de pendejadas que le ensenyan a los ninyos en las escuelas relogiosas es puritita supersticion. Sin embargo, esto no le resta nada a lo desagradable de haber visto al simio Ingles ganar el campeonato mundial “for a bloody whysker” como se dice en el UK. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Si, fue de puras barbas, por una pinche curva y un baboso que no supo mantener su lugar unos cuantos metros. Pero esto, lectores mios (o sea yo) ya no importa. Lo que si quiero recordar de ese domingo en Intergalos es la actitud de Felipe Massa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A pesar de haber perdido el mayor premio que se le puede otorgar a un piloto, su actitud y fuerza en todo momento no fueron menos que admirables. Hizo todo lo que podia hacer para ganar: pole possition y una carrera completamente dominada por el y terminada con una ventaja masiva. Aun asi perdio el campeonato por puntos acumulados en otras carreras a otro piloto (un punto para ser exactos).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Cuando se bajo del coche, siendo el primer lugar, estando en casa, con toda la multitud aplaudiendo, se golpea el pecho y el escudo de la SF al mismo tiempo que senyala a toda la multitud que lo aclamaba.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En este momento seguramente el estaba destrozado, tendria el estomago fruncido por la noticia que recibio por radio y a pesar de todo esto se limpio la cara y mostro caracter!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Para mi eso digno de admiracion; no es facil el no doblar las manos, mantener la cabeza en alto y seguir adelante cuando has recibido un golpe tan fuerte. No puedes mantenerte indistinto a la sensacion de frustracion que te invade y sin embargo Massa saco la casta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Se gano mi 10 puntos de respeto de mi parte.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SRCPNkC0hXI/AAAAAAAAACk/wDYbCY6XWv8/s320/massa.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264865427572688242" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Ademas, las declaraciones que hizo en la prensa muestran que ademas de todo, es generoso con simio de Hamilton.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Todo esto, muy probablemente lo este estrapolando a situaciones personales; pero finalemente yo creo que lo que para Massa, esto tambien fue bastante personal; aunque desde aca fuera se diga "no mames, es un pinche deporte".

Trate de ser amable y de ayudarle dentro de lo que pudiera para que su aclimatamiento fuese lo mas grato posible. Le dije lo usal en estas circunstancias, donde encontrar esto, aquello, que es mas barato, por donde buscarlo et cetera. Repito, hasta ahi, no habia nada especial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De manera gradual, por tener la misma lengua madre y coincidir en temas de trabajo se fue generando un lazo de familiaridad. La interaccion era diaria y nos dimos cuenta de que coincidiamos en algunas cosas, y en las que no, las podiamos discutir como con pocas personas, con argumentos y razon. Esto dio pie, para una amistad. Esta amistad se finco con fuerza y hoy me doy cuenta de que esta persona es una de las pocas que se le puedo llamar amigo en toda la extension de la palabra y con la idea que yo tengo en mente. Y es que este no es de esos que se dicen amigos y solo te saludan, salen por una cerveza contigo, te platican de cualquier pendejada sin trascendencia y te dice “que mal pedo” si te ve valiendo madre. Este es uno de esos pocos amigos que se preocupa y ocupa por mantener esa amistad. Uno que esta ahi cuando lo he necesitado siendo o no llamado. Este cabron ha sabido ganarse mi cofianza. Con este amigo he podido hablar desde nimiedades hasta cosas que tocan las fibras mas sensibles de mi persona. Por estas y muchas otras razones le tengo tanto aprecio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No es un adios, es un hasta pronto. Y no tiene nada de triste, al contrario; a mi me alegra saber a donde va y con quienes va a estar. Se le va a estranyar, eso no lo pongo en duda, pero da gusto saber que esta bien y con su gente nuevamente. Digo que no es un adios y que es un hasta pronto porque se que el contacto seguira a pesar de unos miles de kilometros.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Che, hoy levanto el mate &lt;em&gt;Martin Fierro&lt;/em&gt; y bebo &lt;em&gt;Cruz de Malta&lt;/em&gt; a tu salud!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6117194069723420515-871121568860909683?l=harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/871121568860909683'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/871121568860909683'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com/2008/10/hasta-pronto.html' title='Hasta pronto'/><author><name>el aprendiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09430434546558486446</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SMD7d-JR5mI/AAAAAAAAAAk/ydK2lMt11lg/S220/finger.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194069723420515.post-2369800888823889497</id><published>2008-10-21T12:18:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-10-23T13:04:03.622+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Ah y tambien una scally lass</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES" style="mso-ansi-language:ES"&gt;Tambien conoci hace tiempo una &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scallywag"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;scally&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a style="CURSOR: help"&gt;&lt;span class="help" title="Me da hueva poner tanto link.

Lo contamos como un “logro”, generalmente aderezado a placer con la felicidad de generar admiración, y/o en los casos mas perversos, envidias sordas. Pero porque es que siempre mantenemos mudos los intentos frustrados? Porque es que los etiquetamos con un “&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;pinche vieja, no sabia ni que pedo y tiro pa’l monte…&lt;/span&gt;”. No, no, no, hay que hacer justicia (y no me refiero a esa a la que muchos recurren en la noche para aplacar pasiones) y tambien relatar aquellos en los que no fuimos coronoados por la fortuna. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES-MX" style="mso-ansi-language:ES-MX"&gt;Entonces pues queridos lectores, les voy a contar una de mis muchos intentos frustrados. Porque si, -aunque ustedes no lo crean- no siempre las cosas me han salido como yo he querido. Pero dejeme comenzar por el principio para ademas de pornerle un orden cronologico, hacer mas clara mi anectota.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES-MX" style="mso-ansi-language:ES-MX"&gt;En ese entonces mi vida se habia convertido en una rutina un poco mas entretenida que ponerse a ver el canal de “Scottish parliament” en viernes por la noche. No quiero discutir el porque me permiti entrar en dicha rutina, pero lo hice y ya. Despues de profundas reflexiones, minuciosos analisis de costo-beneficio, consultas psicológicas y sobre todo unas ganas terribles de ponerme una peda fue que decidi volver a salir. El primer fin de semana no tuvo mayor trascendencia. Ocho pintas de Guinness (a huevo!) , cotorreos con sarcamos y un grato sentido del humor ingles (esa vez sali con el G) y finalmete rematamos con unos Singapore vermicelli style noodles y a dormir a las 0400 hrs. Me senti bien. Libre de nuevo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES-MX" style="mso-ansi-language:ES-MX"&gt;Despues arribo de un camarada aqui a Manchester, (que de no ser por mi generosidad desinteresada andaria de homless) mas o menos en la misma sintonia que yo. El, al par de dias habia establecido contacto con la &lt;s&gt;sucedad&lt;/s&gt; &lt;s&gt;zoociedad&lt;/s&gt; sociedad mexicana y una noche quedaron de salir. Me invito, y yo, con un poco reluctancia -porque da verguenza ver como se ponen sombreros y gritan: “FUERZA AZTECAS!” en medio de los mas selectos circulos sociales ingleses- acepte. La razon, es mas que obvia: cerveza.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES-MX" style="mso-ansi-language:ES-MX"&gt;Al final llegamos con mi camarada al lugar acordado por con sus “nuevos amigos” y oh sorpresa: no estaban. Para mi fue un alivio. Ya me imaginaba yo escuchando debates sobre “&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;la liguilla&lt;/span&gt;” y que si cual es mejor equipo el Necaxa, Cruz Azul o los Zopilotes Albinos de Yucatan. O mamadas como “&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;uuuuuyyyy como extranyo mi Mexico lindo y querido, con esos paisajes que la cerveza Corona usa en sus comerciales y que hacen que me llene de orgullo de ser Mexicano!&lt;/span&gt;” y les escurre una lagrima por la mejilla (no lo nieguen cabrones).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES-MX" style="mso-ansi-language:ES-MX"&gt;Nos fuimos de ahi y terminamos mi camarada y yo en un bar mas o menos decente.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;De manera igualmente mas o menos decente estabamos valiendo madre discutiendo sobre la divinidad de Jesus H. Cristo hasta la 0130 hrs. Hora en la que me entraron una ganas urgentes de ir a mear. Astutos como buenos borrachos acordamos que el iria a la barra para aprovisionarnos con mas alcohol y que yo iria a desahogar mi vejiga, Yo regrese primero, porque esta vez ordenamos un mojito, y la bartender acostumbrada a servir cerveza exclusivamente tuvo que ir a desmpolvar un libro de recetas y despues a medio preparar un ron con la primer yerba que se le atraveso y asegurarnos que &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;esos&lt;/span&gt; eran mojitos. Mientras, yo me dedique a corroborar que todas las funciones de mi celular estuvieran listas en caso de ser requeridas, -esto obviamete lo hace uno para parecer ocupado cuando en realidad esta valiendo madre-. En eso, ni yo mismo me lo crei, pero se me acerco una mujer, de esas que son tan guapas que me hacen falta palabras para describirla. Nada le hace justicia. Morena, alta, guapa, boca carnosa, ojos grandes azules un cuerpo que haria llenar de envidia a cualquier tenista rusa. Bueno, basta con decirles que es de esas mujeres con las cuales uno estaria dispuesto –de manera alegre- a fracturarse los huesos de la mano por estar con ella aunque sea una noche. Pues se acerco, me bailaba, y yo incredulo a mi suerte baile como pude. Muy seguramente le dio lastima ver mis torpes movimientos de borracho urgido y me dedico una sonrisa. Yo, como el galan que soy me dije “ya es mia!” y aplique mi tecnica “&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;no soy bueno bailando pero te tiro una verborrea a ver si pega el chicle&lt;/span&gt;”. En cuanto noto mis intenciones me azoto un “&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;vivo con mi novio&lt;/span&gt;” a medio hocico seguido de un “&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;have a great night, I’m gonna sit down for a while…&lt;/span&gt;” (advierto al lector no avezado en el idioma ingles que esas palabras significan “&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;V&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;ete a la verga, no te las voy a prestar&lt;/span&gt;.”).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES-MX" style="mso-ansi-language:ES-MX"&gt;Cuando finalmente llego mi camarada, le di detalles de mi mala fortuna El, discretamente volteo a verla y despues le vi en sus ojos (los de mi camarada, no de ella) la carta del “dos de oros”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SPxmTPd_4vI/AAAAAAAAACc/OAtb3XSA3cY/s320/oros_2.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259190945617797874" /&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES-MX" style="mso-ansi-language:ES-MX"&gt;Pasamos pues a discutir ahora sobre la divinidad del espiritu santo y que si tendria algun parecido con gasparin. Una hora despues, regresa la diosa que me recordo que soy un simple mortal a platicar nuevamente conmigo. Esta vez, no la dejaria ir. Ensaye mis recursos mas desesperados que consisten en balbuceos sin sentido para tener pretexto de acercarnos y eventualmente estar cara a cara a una distancia razonable. No fue tan inutil, saque un par de besitos pero nada mas.

Well basically they cite an excerpt of Mark “half past three”… ah no no, it is Mark 3:29; that states that the only unforgivable sin is denying and or blaspheming against the Holy Spirit. So they challenge you to record a video, upload it to youtube and send them the link. Once done that you get a free DVD!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This goes beyond the limit. The argument of beliving or not in religion should be based on reasoning and evidence. It, by any means, should be a “dogmatic” negation of his existence in exchange of some freebies.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I disagree with the whole thing for a very basic reason: If you do not believe in God/Jesus/Holy Spirit from the outset, what is the point of issuing a “blasphemy” to a non-existent recipient? What difference does it makes if you record a video or not? From my very personal point of view doing such thing only constitutes a provocation with the heading: “&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;atheist against religion&lt;/span&gt;”. If, on principle, the “&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;rational response squad&lt;/span&gt;” do not believe in God, why do they require the consent/agreement/endorsement or alliance of people by issuing such "blasphemy"? If God doesn’t exist; opposition to him is as useful as a book is to George Bush.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It just doesn’t make sense to me!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Please note that I am arguing that opposition to God is futile because he/she/it simply doesn’t exist. I am not, by any means, justifying or endorsing the church or the things that are made in the name of religion. I confess myself completely apart from any religion in the strongest possible terms.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6117194069723420515-1479025510963232961?l=harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/1479025510963232961'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/1479025510963232961'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com/2008/10/okay-there-are-limits.html' title='Okay, there are limits'/><author><name>el aprendiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09430434546558486446</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SMD7d-JR5mI/AAAAAAAAAAk/ydK2lMt11lg/S220/finger.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194069723420515.post-3114167009270341760</id><published>2008-10-14T16:26:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2008-10-15T11:31:33.353+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Full mark</title><content type='html'>[16:16:41] G says: the only interesting thing about F1 is watching the grass grow around the track.

However, it has not been hard to realize that there has been a major disruption lately on the global finances. At the very beginning I was attentive to see if I could fully understand what was going on. Of course I heard the word “&lt;a style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255); font-weight: bold;" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recesion"&gt;recession&lt;/a&gt;” in repeated occasion but everything was still fuzzy to me. It simply wasn’t clear what the real issue was. If I asked an economist, he/she would give me an explanation that not even Bibendum at all his mighty glory could fully understand. Then, I remained ignorant and expectant. I was like that for a few weeks until a friend of mine (Argentinean, take note of that since that is an important detail) told me that it might no longer be safe too keep moneys in a bank account! The natural question was “why?”. Well the answer was somehow encrypted to me; but basically he (who seems to understand of these matters) said that the bank can go on bankrupt and/or prevent you from withdrawing your money. Of course, I assumed that he is/was biased by the famous “&lt;a style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corralito"&gt;corralito&lt;/a&gt;” in Argentina; but after paying a bit of attention to the news you realize that there is in fact an economical pandemonium.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Well, what is the whole mess about? Here is what I understand. When people need money they usually resort to loans/montages/et cetera. The bank, as a good friend, lends them money at a “reasonable” interest, -because after all they are not beneficences-. So, notice that the bank does not really have the money; they only have the signature of a bunch of poor bastards that agreed to pay. Then, the bank, as a stock market participant, decides to sell &lt;a style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivative_%28finance%29"&gt;financial derivatives&lt;/a&gt; from those loans/mortgages/et cetera. Note that this financial derivatives are only the disguised bunch of already mentioned debts. Since it is assumed that the banks are trust worthy then adventurous and greedy people go buy them (other banks). Now, these other banks, who bought these financial instruments with moneys that, have been putted into their hands by active savers (people who are not in debt), do it with the purpose of getting a higher interest that the one they are offering to you as an institution; id est. make more money.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; But what happens when the buyers find out that they are the proud owners of a nice bundle of debts (from the poor bastards whom borrowed money from the bank and cannot pay)? That is what the problem begins.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If the banks, including the one that bought have large amounts of these financial instruments, find out that basically they have just been trading debts, the owner of the financial instruments losses its capital. And since the other banks know that this poor idiot has no capital, they will not give it credit. As a consequence its &lt;a style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" href="http://www.investorwords.com/1726/equity.html"&gt;equity&lt;/a&gt; value (active - passive) of the share goes to decline. And since that bank has no actives and no credit either its natural tendency is to go to &lt;a style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255); font-weight: bold;" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bankruptcy"&gt;bankrupt&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; On the other hand, if you as a saver (not like Jesus please) and have money in that bank, your natural reaction would be to withdraw your money from it since it is likely that they might not have enough backup in the future to reimburse your savings. But the bank has no actives; ergo they can’t reimburse your money! This gives origin to a generalized hysteria that leads to situations similar to the already mentioned “corralito”.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Is there a solution? “Forgive the debts” (reward stupidy and greed!) some one might say. In principle this would restore the balance, but it would create a &lt;a style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255); font-weight: bold;" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_hazard"&gt;moral hazard&lt;/a&gt;, since the people as greedy agents see this behaviour from the bank and in the future they will be willing to take even higher loans/mortgages/whatever since they will assume that in a another situation like this the bank will be forgiving once again.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Well, that may be an even fuzziest explanation. All what I have just written is just to lead us to the video below. These chaps explain all what I tried to say in a much pleasant way.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie"

Certo e che Hamilton e un sporco, ma certo e anche che e un piloto che guida benissimo e ha una grande possibilita di vincere il mundiale. Purtroppo il gran premio scorso la SF non se la ha fata, e allora Hammilton ha sette punti di vantaggio su Massa. Ma non dobbiamo dimenticare che comunque ci sono ancora tre gran premi (Giaponne, Cina, Brazil). Il essito di queste tre gare sarano determinate dil condizione meteo; sapiamo che al Giaponne piove sempre, a Cina piove ogni tanto ed a Brazil speso, e sapiamo anche che la SF si sa delle gome che vano bene quando il asfalto e caldo. Quindi questo non e un buon pronostico per la SF; ma -matematicamente e potenzialemente- ha la possibilita ancora di vincere. Massa ha fatto una gran pole possition nel gran premio da Singapore ed a dominato la gara, purtroppo ce stato quel accidente a pits che lo ha lasciato fuori de gli punti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E Raikknonen? Non lo so; magari ne’anche lui lo sa! Gli ultimi resultati non ci sono stati come tutti vogliono (si, tutti!), e lui non e stato ne’anche in possisione di darli una mano a Massa. Le consequenze sono senza dubio negative. E vero che e un Raikknonen che si ha visto pocchisimo nelle ultime gran premi ma non dobbiamo dimenticare che lui e il campione mondiale e quindi si aspetta molto da lui per gli ultimi tre gran premi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Allora arrivederci e vaffanculo a tutti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES" style="mso-ansi-language:ES"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Ni hablo -y mucho menos escribo- italiano.

Realmente sus preguntas estan de mas, ya que, ademas de saber la respuesta, llegan y las hacen exclusivamente con el afan de recordarme la cagada de temporada que ha tenido la SF, y en particular la de Raikkonen. Me podria poner a explicarles lo que ha sucedido en todas y cada una de las carreras –obviamente sin pasar por alto los errores de los propios pilotos de la SF- pero francamente no tiene ningun sentido.

Debo de decir que me ha gustado. De hecho la de batman begins marco la differencia con respecto a todos los remedos de mal gusto que se habian estado haciendo hasta el momento. Empezando claramente por la porqueria que hizo Tim Burton y -que aun a la fecha- ignoro porque se presto Jack Nicholson a hacer "eso". Quien diga que esa pelicula es buena o miente o sufre de un retraso mental serio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En fin, estabamos con the dark knight. Despues de ver la pelicula y quedarme sorpremndido por el buen papel que hizo Heath Ledger del nihilista perfecto (Jocker); me puse como todo buen cristiano a buscar en youtube y encontre esta joya:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/w2yv8aT0UFc&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/w2yv8aT0UFc&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despues de verlo senti un par de gotitas de orina en el pantalon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"ohhh ok... not gonna help... the hitting!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I want to answer to your questions, I just don't know what they are!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;:)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6117194069723420515-5412000080628225532?l=harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/5412000080628225532'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/5412000080628225532'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com/2008/09/dark-knight.html' title='The dark knight'/><author><name>el aprendiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09430434546558486446</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SMD7d-JR5mI/AAAAAAAAAAk/ydK2lMt11lg/S220/finger.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194069723420515.post-3346072777727553532</id><published>2008-09-22T16:45:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-24T10:13:36.886+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Or an iPhone?</title><content type='html'>If there is a geek out there that had made a decent comparison between the Blackberry bold and the iPhone -apart from those that can be found at youtube-, suggest please.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6117194069723420515-3346072777727553532?l=harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/3346072777727553532'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/3346072777727553532'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com/2008/09/or-and-iphone.html' title='Or an iPhone?'/><author><name>el aprendiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09430434546558486446</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SMD7d-JR5mI/AAAAAAAAAAk/ydK2lMt11lg/S220/finger.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194069723420515.post-5248465015601032476</id><published>2008-09-19T13:00:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-19T15:37:45.947+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Exijo una blackberry bold</title><content type='html'>Y es que ya me canse de ir a verla por la ventana del distribuidor y despues rascarme las bolsas para darme cuenta que de que mi trabajo de cajero en McDonald's no me permite semejantes lujos.

I will be needing to win (of course), start on 2009 and have Hamilton losing simultaneously for the McLaren team at its best shape&lt;/em&gt;” &lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;* + #&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click on the circle to read &lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;one of the many compulsory&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;conditions:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;input onclick="alert ('Hmm obedience, I like that. Now stick your middle finger up your arse.')" type="radio"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I haven't used my soul so far and I have no plans of using neither in the short nor the long term future. So, there you go Mr. Satan, it is a bargain. Hurry up because this offer cannot last long!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God, you can also enter into the bidding process. So submit your bids and let's clear the market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One more thing God, since you are a saver and I am a withdrawer; if my deal goes horribly wrong, do not forget about me; save my soul after the 8th season.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheers&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;* Special conditions might apply&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;+ Additional details shown in offer summary when offer is selected&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;# Eat your five a day&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6117194069723420515-3174602526502483554?l=harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/3174602526502483554'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/3174602526502483554'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com/2008/09/following-other-day-post-about-church.html' title='My soul for eight F1 seasons'/><author><name>el aprendiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09430434546558486446</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SMD7d-JR5mI/AAAAAAAAAAk/ydK2lMt11lg/S220/finger.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194069723420515.post-8081225506260012958</id><published>2008-09-17T16:55:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-17T17:01:38.741+01:00</updated><title type='text'>He perdido la capacidad de impresionarme?</title><content type='html'>Y esto me preocupa demasiado.

No me despierta ninguna emocion como tal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Porque?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me preocupo mi no-reaccion. Lo pense y llegue a la conclusion de que me siento alejado de eso. Lo lei en las noticias pero no lo vi por la calle, no lo vi en gente, no lo escuche, no lo comente. Me entero de la inseguridad en Mexico y la veo distante y no tengo ese sentido de pertenencia (porque la cagada de tu pais tambien es tuya, no solo los lugares que la “Corona” usa para promocionarse). Me llama la atencion de la misma forma en que me llamo la atencion el terremoto en China o el huracan en USA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pero mi no-reaccion me escandaliza, porque me forza a preguntarme “a donde pertenezco?" Y con esto no me refiero a alguna nacionalidad. Me refiero a un lugar especifico. Tengo en donde dormir y comer aqui y alla. Se que naci alla y que vivo aqui. Pero de donde soy?

I used to believe in all that nonsense in a dogmatic way. As it should be! But why did I used to believe in all that nonsense? Because I craved for Jesus’ love? Because Heaven was waiting for me if I was “good” in this life? Sadly the answer is: no. I used to “believe” in that because I was afraid. Because they (the Holy Catholic Church) gave themselves to the task of telling me how bad I would be punished if I questioned my “faith”. For them faith is to believe blindly whatever they want you to believe. Of course that would be changing according to the Church convenience along time. History has proven that in repeated occasions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In terms of the Catholic Church the logic is simple: Either you belong to the Church, else you are doomed. (An offer you can’t refuse, uh?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, all that is just a prelude to the point that I would like to rise today. It is (drums please) tadaaaaa: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Vatican official: Catholic Church doesn't owe Darwin an apology”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Arrogance? Haughtiness? Nah… you need faith people!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Vatican City - A senior Vatican official indicated Tuesday the Roman Catholic Church will not issue a apology to Charles Darwin for the religious controversies around his theory of evolution…”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course not, they might not even understand it. How can they apologise for something like that? It is blasphemous! They do not descend from any ape… they are still apes! And furthermore &lt;a href="http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/232170,vatican-official-catholic-church-doesnt-owe-darwin-an-apology.html"&gt;Archbishop Gianfranco Ravasi&lt;/a&gt; adds:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Maybe we need to abandon the habit of issuing apologies and treating history as if it were a court always in session,"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah, who needs history when it is so dark and obscure for witch hunters? Come on people, it already passed, let it go, move on, don’t live in the past!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I won’t even bother to cite all the references I have come across that present the “Holy Church” in a very perverse manner. All those cases of abuse, greed, blood shed, of child abuse, et cetera. I won’t, because after all &lt;em&gt;we shouldn’t treat history as a curt in session&lt;/em&gt;! Ha!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems that I will end up in hell along with Darwin in the end. Still, the Devil is much nicely depicted than the merciful God in &lt;a href="http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_Evangelho_segundo_Jesus_Cristo"&gt;Saramago’s book&lt;/a&gt;… I think we might end up being good mates.&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand the &lt;a href="http://www.expressbuzz.com/edition/story.aspx?artid=IQTbfxKDkWk=&amp;amp;Title=Darwin+apology+useful+reminder&amp;amp;SectionID=RRQemgLywPI=&amp;amp;MainSectionID=RRQemgLywPI=&amp;amp;SEO=&amp;amp;SectionName=XQcp6iFoWTvPHj2dDBzTNA=="&gt;Church of England did apologize&lt;/a&gt;. A bit of common sense:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Formal apology for not having done the right thing is always a positive development, even if it comes late. Thus with the Church of England’s apology to Charles Darwin’s soul for its first frenzied condemnation, in the mid-19th century, of his theory of biological evolution. The Church has acknowledged that it didn’t take the time or trouble to understand his reasoning, and by so doing, to propel other sections of society into similar misunderstanding.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was discussing this with my mate G. He has a sad story that -under his permission- I share with all of you: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;G*** says: &lt;em&gt;but anyway, why do you hate the church?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(me) says: &lt;em&gt;you will understand that in its due time mate&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;G*** says: &lt;em&gt;Richard Dawkins reckons that religious education is a form of child abuse. It certainly was at my catholic boarding school where I got buggered left, right and centre by every priest and his uncle&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And he still has a grin on his face! I am proud of him (snif).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy Halloween. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6117194069723420515-1721112957454499533?l=harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/1721112957454499533'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/1721112957454499533'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com/2008/09/i-loathe-church.html' title='I loathe the church'/><author><name>el aprendiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09430434546558486446</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SMD7d-JR5mI/AAAAAAAAAAk/ydK2lMt11lg/S220/finger.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194069723420515.post-4771627088522478853</id><published>2008-09-15T20:21:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-15T19:33:44.808+01:00</updated><title type='text'>No logro dormirme temprano</title><content type='html'>Y esto no me generaria ningun problema si siempre me pudiera levantar a la hora que me apeteciera. Pero la realidad es distinta. La semana pasada por razones de trabajo tuve que estar en el aeropuerto a las 0430 hrs. Ahora eso no es lo alarmante, ya que como es bien sabido los lecheros, panaderos, repartidores de periodico y algunos enfermos mentales se levantan a esa hora por necesidad y/o “gusto” respectivamente. Lo tragico de mi caso es, que en esa misma "noche", no consigo conciliar el suenyo sino entre 0300 y 0400 hrs. Es ocioso describir lo incomodo de la situacion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sugerencias para solucionar mi problema me sobran. La mas frecuente es “vete a dormir mas temprano” (les encanta senyalar lo obvio). Creanme, no es por falta de ganas. El problema es que cuando me meto en la cama simplemente me quedo dando vueltas hasta que llega mi sana hora de dormir (i.e. 0300-0400); esto incluso a pesar de que el dia previo me haya levantado cuando despunta el alba (i.e. 0900 hrs).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sin embargo no todo esto es malo. Gracias a este maldito habito he tomado el habito de la literatura. Generalmente por ahi entre 0030 y 0100 tomo mi revista (que no solamente son fotos!) y me doy un banyo literario y deleito la pupila. Lo que si es un problema es que al dia siguiente, mientras me estoy debatiendo entre dormir 5 minutos mas y no rasurarme volteo, veo el reloj y me doy cuenta de que no hay tiempo ni para una ni otra. Me levanto con los ojos rojos, me meto unos putazos en los dedos de los pies con la pared (por accidente obviamente) haciendo una carrera a la cocina para alcanzar a desayunar como el senyor lo ordena. Despues a hacer de mi higiene personal lo que el tiempo me permita para despues correr y llegar tarda a mi despacho y darme cuenta de que fue en vano todo mi ajetreo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahora, cuando realmente logro levantarme muy temprano y llego lleno de orgullo a donde tenia que ir. A los 15 minutos despues de comenzada la reunion, mis parpadeos se hacen mas frecuentes y de periodos mas prolongados. Las voces se van haciendo menos nitidas y se van convirtiendo en arrulladores sonidos aperiodicos cada vez mas modulados. Todo esto hasta que mi cabeza finalmente se vence y siento un tiron en el cuello que me despierta violentamente; discretamente volteo a ver si nadie se ha percatado de mi transe somnoliento y la historia se repite.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La conclusion es ya esperada. No vale la pena levantarse temprano. No se logra nada. Es mejor llegar tarde pero bien descansado que temprano y valer madre todo el dia. Los que organizan reuniones a tempranas horas de la madrugada son gente sin consideraciones y muy probablemente resentidos sociales.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Que Dios los perdone, porque yo los seguire maldiciendo cada vez que siga viendo mis itinerarios, tristes itinerarios...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6117194069723420515-4771627088522478853?l=harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/4771627088522478853'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/4771627088522478853'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com/2008/09/no-logro-dormirme-temprano.html' title='No logro dormirme temprano'/><author><name>el aprendiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09430434546558486446</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SMD7d-JR5mI/AAAAAAAAAAk/ydK2lMt11lg/S220/finger.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194069723420515.post-4122343866768685850</id><published>2008-09-12T16:58:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-10-30T15:28:11.842Z</updated><title type='text'>Estoy emputado</title><content type='html'>Estoy emputado con el marrano de Hamilton y el hato de bestias de la McLaren.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pero todo de golpe suena feo, asi es de que vamos por partes. Todos los que sigan la F1 sabran lo que ha pasado en Spa. Huelga decir que el puerco de Hamilton volvio a hacer una de sus ya muy sobadas puercadas. Y bueno, no es de espantarse conociendole los antecedetes y ademas sabiendo del muladar del que ha salido. Lo que me impresiona es que aun despues de eso la horda de mandriles ingleses hagan declaraciones de prensa como estas:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: right"&gt;“&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;The closing moments from Spa-Francorchamps were the season’s most compelling so far. Struggling with dry tyres on an increasingly wet surface, Hamilton and Kimi Raikkonen were inseparable in terms of commitment. The Englishman edged slightly ahead as they approached the chicane for the 42nd time, but Raikkonen defended robustly and left Hamilton to choose between crashing or bounding beyond the kerbs...&lt;/span&gt; ”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SMq8CdnDWAI/AAAAAAAAABg/cdF4u-9MBvQ/s1600-h/hamilton_chicane.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5245211466520549378" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: pointer; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SMq8CdnDWAI/AAAAAAAAABg/cdF4u-9MBvQ/s320/hamilton_chicane.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A ver, a ver, a ver, insinuan que si Hamilton no hace su asqueroso corte en la chicana todo hubiese terminado horriblemente mal por culpa de Raikkonen? O sea que la filosofia es “no voy a usar mis frenos y si no me dejas pasar eres un culero!”, “si genero un accidente cuando trato de pasarte, es tu culpa!”. Y no les basta con eso sino que ademas dicen:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: right"&gt;“&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;The irony is that Hamilton was punished while attempting to overtake, an element of the sport that’s frequently lacking and something the FIA allegedly wishes to encourage.&lt;/span&gt;”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seguro que si fue penalizado por esa razon. Se la masticaron aqui. Este accidente no es aislado. Hamilton lleva lo que va del anyo haciendo puercadas de manera implacable, y su companyero Kovalainen no se queda atras, tambien se empenya en dejar el nombre de la zahurda (McLaren) "en alto". Ahora, McLaren con la poca verguenza que ahora le esta caracterizando declara:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: right"&gt;“&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Drivers are frequently punished for causing collisions, something Hamilton did well to avoid last Sunday, yet Raikkonen escaped censure in Monaco when he rammed Adrian Sutil off the road, robbing the Force India driver of what would have been an improbable fourth place.&lt;/span&gt;”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seguro que si! Seguro Raikknonen lo hizo con toda intencion. Seguro se sentia amenazado por Sutil en el campeonato y mejor lo choco para que nadie sacara puntos. Quien haya visto lo que paso en Monaco se da cuenta perfectamente que el que menos intenciones tenia de embarrarse era Raikkonen. Fue mas que evidente que el coche estaba fuera de control, y que Raikkonen -auque tambien siendo hijo de Dios- no lo pudo evitar. Pero porque McLaren no trae a la mesa lo que sucedio a la salida de pits en Montreal? Se les olvida que Hamilton deliberadamente envistio a Raikkonen en lugar de Kuvica?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SMq8XTp_hXI/AAAAAAAAABo/IY99U88RqFA/s1600-h/hamilton_rams_raikkonen.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5245211824625780082" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: pointer; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SMq8XTp_hXI/AAAAAAAAABo/IY99U88RqFA/s320/hamilton_rams_raikkonen.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/S8NxHYAbtUQ&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/S8NxHYAbtUQ&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y porque es que todos los demas pilitos estan “confabulados” contra McLaren y Hamilton apoyando la penalizacion impuesta? Sera que todos estan mal menos McLaren?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De acuerdo con la Mclaren las declaraciones de Alonso estan polarizadas porque anda de ardido desde que dejo McLaren. Trulli porque quien sabe que, los demas porque no entienden, y que por la lluvia y no se que tanta pendejada mas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahora que habia pensado que ya no me podia emputar mas, estos cabrones me hacen emputar mas y me hacen experimentar un generoso deseso de mandarlos a chingar a su madre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pinche simio, ojala que no termine ninguna otra carrera.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6117194069723420515-4122343866768685850?l=harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/4122343866768685850'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/4122343866768685850'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com/2008/09/estoy-emputado.html' title='Estoy emputado'/><author><name>el aprendiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09430434546558486446</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SMD7d-JR5mI/AAAAAAAAAAk/ydK2lMt11lg/S220/finger.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SMq8CdnDWAI/AAAAAAAAABg/cdF4u-9MBvQ/s72-c/hamilton_chicane.JPG' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194069723420515.post-6511922103323490178</id><published>2008-09-11T11:53:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-26T15:22:21.999+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='common sense'/><title type='text'>Ignorance + Initiative = Disaster</title><content type='html'>In repeated occasions it crosses my mind the though that ignorance is proportional to happiness. And there are lots of specimens that prove that this is true! Just have a look around you and you will find out that those who are less informed live happier lives in all aspects… -a hint of stupidity is always a plus-.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what does all this comes to? Let me start from the beginning. A few days ago, someone who is very dear to me asked me to read a “chain email” (usually I just tick those and send them directly to the bin; but on this special occasion I had a look on the request from this person). The email was written by someone who probably thinks of himself/herself as an “environmentally friendly” (so to call it) person. He/she was proposing that on a specific date everyone in a given country interrupt their electrical consumption for at least 10 minutes simultaneously. See below:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: right"&gt;"&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Darkness world: On September 17, 2008 from 21:50 to 22:00 hours.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Proposes to delete all lights and if possible all electrical appliances, to our planet can 'breathe'. If the answer is massive, energy saving can be brutal. Only 10 minutes, and see what happens. Yes, we are 10 minutes in the dark, we light a candle and simply Be looking at it, we breathe and our planet. Remember that the union is strength and the Internet can be very power and can Even do something big.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Moves the news, if you have friends to live in other countries send to them.&lt;/span&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At a first glance this might seem very noble and it should be extolled. Everyone who feels like “doing a little something for mother earth” might think:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: right"&gt;“&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Yeah, that’s an idea! We would stop the greenhouse emissions for a while and at the same time save copious amounts of money to the country on the electrical generation tab!&lt;/span&gt;”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you share that point of view I have news for you: You are wrong!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, you must bear in mind that electric energy is not a storable commodity. That is, electric power must be generated at the same time as it is being consumed on a second by second basis literally. That said, if you and all your green-friends were to heed your ludicrous words and actually do it, you would only be threatening the stability of your national electric system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why? Let me try to explain it in terms that even a politician might be able to understand. As I said before the electrical power production (&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Pm&lt;/span&gt;) and consumption (&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Pe&lt;/span&gt;) must match at all times in order to keep the system stable; i.e.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Pm - Pe&lt;/span&gt; = 0.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, the electrical energy is not produced by Merlin wizard (contrary to what many of you might believe); it needs to be converted from kinetic energy to electrical energy and this is done by an electrical generator. An electrical generator is composed by to main parts: the rotor and the stator. As their names suggests the rotor spins inducing a magnetic field on the stator windings. The magnetic fields are then converted to electrical energy and sent to the end users. From this it can be inferred that the end users have control over &lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Pe&lt;/span&gt;. On the other hand &lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Pm&lt;/span&gt; is controlled by a turbine which is connected to the generator’s stator through a shaft. Since &lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Pm&lt;/span&gt; is ruled by hydraulic or thermal processes its response has a large time constants compared to those that control &lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Pe&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Pe&lt;/span&gt; can be controlled as fast as turning on/off a switch; just as the one on your room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the worst case scenario, if your green-friends and you had complete control over &lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Pe&lt;/span&gt;* and suddenly interrupted their energy consumption (&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Pe&lt;/span&gt; = 0) for “10 minutes”, then an unbalance would be created. In this unbalance all the kinetic energy applied to the rotors of the generators would not be extracted overspeeding them and making them either trip or destroy. Can you guess what would happen when your 10 minutes of glory and planet preservation have expired and you decide to “turn on the lights” again? If you can’t then you are beyond any help. Else you have guessed right, &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;there would be no lights!!!&lt;/span&gt; Now, try to imagine how your life would be in the aftermath with no electrical energy for a couple days. This means no microwaves, no telly, no fridge, no internet, no traffic lights, no hospitals, no refrigeration to keep vaccines active, no heating systems, etc. Furthermore, did you know that the cost of starting up a thermal power plant is about the same as of buying an apartment in a good residential zone of an average city? It should be obvious by now that the moneys spent of re-establishing the electric system plus the societal costs of depriving the population of electrical energy do not justify by any means your noble but stupid idea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But don’t panic my idiotic friends! This doesn’t mean that there isn’t anything you can do to reduce the greenhouse emissions. There is a lot of self-management that you can do around your house in order to reduce the total energy &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;that you consume&lt;/span&gt;. Your idea of the 10 minutes can be applied if these interruptions are not simultaneous, but in tandem instead (good luck organizing it). To reduce the costs and emissions you can shift your consumption from peak demand periods to low demand periods; deploy &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demand_side_management"&gt;load management programs&lt;/a&gt; etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are welcome, now so sod off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;* In reality in the worst case, the residential consumption on an average power system is about 1/3 of the total consumption&lt;/span&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;&lt;?xml:namespace prefix = o /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6117194069723420515-6511922103323490178?l=harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/6511922103323490178'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/6511922103323490178'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com/2008/09/ignorance-initiative-disaster.html' title='Ignorance + Initiative = Disaster'/><author><name>el aprendiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09430434546558486446</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SMD7d-JR5mI/AAAAAAAAAAk/ydK2lMt11lg/S220/finger.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194069723420515.post-4223148186076480408</id><published>2008-09-04T21:52:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-17T15:37:38.348+01:00</updated><title type='text'>primo post</title><content type='html'>Por donde empezar?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En realidad este es mi segundo intento de blog. El primero fue un rotundo fracaso que termino en alegatas de abogados y un doloroso golpe a mis finanzas. Los detalles de esa triste experiencia estan mas alla de lo que pretendo publicar en este blog, basta con asegurarles queridos lectores que ahi aprendi que ni la maldad humana ni la codicia de los abogados tienen limites. Aprendi tambien de esa costosa experiencia (en el sentido mas literal) a no cometer “el mismo error”. Asi pues comienzo proporcionando la informacion mas indispensable sobre mi persona:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mi nombre no importa, donde ando tampoco y lo que menos importa aun, es todo lo que este escrito en este blog. Este blog es exclusivamente para mi. Es un ejercicio que pretendo seguir cuando encuentre algo que merezca –insisto, para mi- ser recordado o simplemente cuando se me de la gana. Tampoco importa donde naci, cuando naci, porque naci ni quienes fueron mis padres. Lo que si debo aclarar, es que, muy en contra de lo que muchos aseguran, yo no soy hijo de la Chingada. La Chingada nunca puso un pie en el pueblo donde nacio mi madre, ni mucho menos en el pueblo donde me pario (mi madre). Es mas, cuando todo esto sucedio, ella (la Chingada, no mi madre) siempre estuvo lejos, muy lejos; y si no me lo creen, vayan ustedes y averiguenlo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Asi pues, termino el primo post de este blog.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6117194069723420515-4223148186076480408?l=harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/4223148186076480408'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6117194069723420515/posts/default/4223148186076480408'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://harlow-pub-quiz.blogspot.com/2008/09/primo-post.html' title='primo post'/><author><name>el aprendiz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09430434546558486446</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xs3ayvrpaG0/SMD7d-JR5mI/AAAAAAAAAAk/ydK2lMt11lg/S220/finger.jpg'/></author></entry></feed>
