どうして？
Anoche, antes de dormir, pensaba por qué me sentía así, por qué no podía quitarme de la cabeza esa canción tan triste de Opeth...
Al final llegué a la conclusión de que podía tratarse de dos motivos:
1-haber olvidado bastantes kanjis en poco tiempo.
2-haber recibido por error la enhorabuena por estar embarazada, cuando la embarazada es una compañera que se llama igual que yo.
Asumo la responsabilidad del primer motivo, si no hubiese permitido que pasara tanto tiempo sin repasar, no los habría olvidado. Culpa mía, lo asumo. Desde entonces le estoy poniendo remedio.
En cuando al segundo motivo, me sorprendió a mí misma. En un primer momento no le di mayor importancia, fue una confusión. Punto pelota. Además, ni de coña querría estar embarazada. Sí, hombre, lo que me faltaba...
Lo que realmente me preocupó fue el darme cuenta de que es imposible para mí porque actualmente no tengo pareja y a las palomas les doy miedo.
Nunca me ha importado estar sola, de hecho, lo prefiero. Me he acostumbrado a vivir la vida a mi aire, tener mi libertad, entrar y salir sin dar explicaciones a nadie. En pocas palabras, hacer lo que me da la gana.
Entonces, ¿por qué me preocupó? La respuesta es simple: Mi forma de vida tiene pros y contras y a veces los contras superan a los pros. Sin embargo, valoro más mi libertad que los momentos puntuales de bajón,. No estoy dispuesta a sacrificar mi libertad
En estos momentos, el bajón ha desaparecido. Gritar aquí, a la nada, soltar una botella en un océano es un buen remedio.
Como dice otra canción...
"I've been down for awhile and now... I'm coming back!"
Is this Spain?
Si antes hablo de los tópicos de los países...
Lástima que me pille un poco lejos...
12 - 20 September 2009
The Crypt Gallery (London)
IS THIS SPAIN?
Opening times: everyday 11am - 7pm
Private view: Saturday 12 September, 6-9pm
This exhibition brings together contemporary Spanish artists who question and reject the often held stereotypes of Spanish culture and Spain as a country. The artists portray another reality of the country, the "unofficial" one. This exhibition shows the culture of a country that lived under a total dictatorship during the twentieth century, a dictatorship which influenced in a very negative way the economic, social and cultural development of Spain.
Challenging perceptions of Spain and demonstrating the cultural richness of the country, the artists promote and disseminate current Spanish art in its various manifestations, with emphasis on new languages such as video, net.art, and installation.
London is the ideal platform at a European and international level for these emerging and established Spanish artists to advance a contemporary Spain which is not just bull, fiesta and siesta. A Spain that had its golden age and that, in the 1980s, began to emerge again.
The artists and their work include:
Momu & No Es, "Reina de las Fiestas"
Derivart, "Casas Tristes"
Santiago Sierra, "Bandera Negra"
Andres Senra, "Casa Quemada"
Greta Alfaro, "In Ictu Oculi"
Democracia, "Subtextos"
Alicia Framis, "Secret Strike - Inditex"
Busto Bocanegra, Închiriez Camerà
Maria Cañas, "The Toro's Revenge"
Revista UHF, "Mapas de España"
Carlos Llavata, "I am Not Proud"
Alejandro Vidal, "Tactical Disorder"

Burden
No deja de parecerme curioso que el día del cumpleaños de uno de mis grupos favoritos, D'espairsRay, acabe hablando de otro grupo...
Pero es que hoy estoy de bajón...
Y no me quito de la cabeza esto...
"I, once upon a time
Carried a burden inside
I sung a last goodbye
A broken rhyme I had underlined
There's an ocean of sorrow in you
A sorrow in me
I saw movement in their eyes
Thay said I no longer knew the way
I had given up the ghost
A passive mind submit to fear
And the wait for redemption at hand
Waiting to fail
Failing again
If death should take me now
Count my mistakes and let me through
Whisper in my ear
You've taken more than we've received
And the ocean of sorrow is you"
(Adoro esta camiseta)
¡Qué grandes son, joder!
¡Y qué triste me hacen sentir!
