Sensational of Mexican design

I found this book called Sensacinal del diseno mexicano, it started during some holidays of the authors along mexico where they were surprised by mexican imagination to advertise, I am talking about small towns lost in Mexico where people live very simple lifes and sometimes they say it all with pictures, this compendia compehends hundreds of pics from advertisements, patterns from walls, magazines, table cloths and other things found in small towns or the huge Mexico city were the adevertisers have to fight to gain some attention of the tipical mexican transeunt, the authors have published all this material in a very atractive book wich incluse a CD room that displays a game using some famous icons pics from mexican design and an explanation of the whole project, I think you will find this curious and out the what we are use to see, Mexican design is quite unique in its style and projection to the public

Algunas relaciones se sienten como que te quitan la vida,,,

A veces un jefe, un amigo, una pareja, para mi estas son las relaciones que me han succionado la vida:
1.
Los críticos que constantemente se quejan o dan un consejo no deseado
2.
Los mártires que son siempre las víctimas
3.
Los aguafiestas que son pesimistas y negativos
4.
Los aplanadores que no tienen sensibilidad hacia los demás
5.
Los chismosos que esparcen rumores y secretos
6.
Los controladores que no pueden soltar y dejar que las cosas sucedan
7.
Los hipócritas que apuñalan por la espalda
8.
Los envidiosos que odian el éxito de los demás
9.
Los volcanes que se llenan de ira y pueden explotar en cualquier momento
10.
Las esponjas que siempre están necesitadas pero nunca dan nada a cambio
11.
Los competidores que siempre llevan la cuenta de las represalia

Y uds que opinan?

Traveling throught Mexico

Phrase of the day

Lewis Carroll:

"To me it seems that to give happiness is a far nobler goal that to attain it: and that what we exist for is much more a matter of relations to others than a matter of individual progress: much more a matter of helping others to heaven than of getting there ourselves..."

Acentos perdidos

I just found this blog is called acentos perdios (lost stressmarks) It belongs to Pablo a publicist born in Spain and achilangado*, had an idea that I found terrific looking a jon as publicist using all the public display available in the city, he walks the city of Mexico looking for adds with all kinds of grammar guilibilities! it is a great idea! he confesses himself as a tormented grammar obsseced, so he decided to do his job for free for the sake of Mexico city, I think it his job is completely oroginal and well here it is!

ana and the hidden snake

The aztec legend tells the profecy of a god that would arrive to the aztec empire to bring properity to the land, this god would be the fetheared snake god, quezalcoatl, by his Nahua followers. In the Maya area he was known as Kukulcan or Ququmatz, names that also translate as "feathered serpent" in different Mayan languages.

Somedays I just need her colors to make my own ones...

murakami number 10th

I have finished sputniksweethear, another beautiful trip into murakamis poetic words, his unendless worlds, the cats, the women, the shadows coming to life, all the mytical murakami's simbols, to me is going back home to a world where my deeper feelings are shared, I always feel exposed a little when I read his books, I can see myself in a mirror, which is sometimes not easy, I feel so conected to his feelings, I imagine which parts of his books are parts of his and which one he has just imagine, but is not possible to make a dicernt between those worlds, he is a poet of the surealism that is so real for some of us,
Sputniksweethear take it with you if you plan to go to some relaxing summer holiday, it will bring you to a different state of mind closer to your innerself, it a cold yet familiar place where everything can happen, read it next to the beach while listening to the sound of the waves, it is simply beautiful and relaxing, dont miss it!

letting the clockwork orange go....

Times are changing fast here in the clockwork orange, things are moving fast, one day you are here another your are gone, but time is relative as well as perception, in the clockworking orange everything is precised but some of us are not mathematical equations but a blur of luck walking among others,
I will come back here sometimes to the cold steal morning and the individuality, to the artificial beauty of this machine...

The perfect world

When I was 15 I came across the book from Aldous Huxley "The brave new world", first I thought I would get bored with his old writting style, at least the version I had in my hands was quite old from my grandpa, I read it and it caused a great impact at the time and this feeling was dissolving along time, as I grow older I can not but to compare some characters in Huxley´s novel including myself, I so often feel like the savage brought to the brave world and expose to certain refinements in this new upgraded society, with a blue pill to relieve any kind of negative feeling, music made from machines and not instruments, luckely we still have the family concept in this world of ours, perhaps a very old yet human structure that is the key to happiness according to forbes survey for the 10 countries were you can achieve more money, at the end they closed the article saying that money does not equal happiness and that on the contrary the countries were people consider themself happier are the ones were the family plays a central role in individuals,
perhaps Huxley was right and the scence of our humanity lies in the simplest of things that we take for granted and that in this fast world seems so archaic and decadent

On the search for home

This weekend my task is to let my home find me and not stand in its way, to let the one desition that will take me home find its way to my heart like Bagger Vance used to say..

While walking in the forrest

This morning while walking down the forrest to come to work, some ideas finally set up its place in my brain,
I was thinking about several conversations with my best friend which refered to social structure,
I was a naive firm believer that a person can achieve a place in society trought their own effort and inteligence, instead of their social status or class, there was a time when I could not see such a concept as an active concept in todays society where the middle class is so extended, however my friend always argued with me about this and insisted that in human societa the existance of such a concept is a pilar for its organization and healthy development, that is is something we would never get rid off,
But is this true? can we get rid of concepts in society like class, or even more would it be possible one day to get rid of the concept of country, is it really healthy for society to perpetuate those concepts, or is it only useful to perpetuate differences?
It seems to me that since very early and in all types of human cultures differences have always existed for what we know the most ancient cultures were based in feudalism or explotation of the lower masses to the porpuse of support the reigning class at every particular culture,
those kind of differences are there even in the religous contest, which I dont even want to comment on, but it seems to me that the human society needs stratification in order to achieve certain development in other goods not only material but philosophycal as well,
of course that being a biologist I wonder about people with limitations to understand such a system, the outsiders sort of speaking, could it be that all these need for herarchyes is something that is either inhereted or is it learned after words or is it a complex kind of process that combines both possibilities?
are those individuals (maybe even several philosophers)- just a residual part of other posibility in human populations? have we been self selecting individuals who posses the hability to fit this kind of classist systems since the dawn of times and we could be missing the chance to live free of such a concepts?
I for once dont think that this kind of human structure is only inherent to human populations, since many other groups in nature are structure as well, in that case is not possible to say that is a kind of property learned after birth but is inherent to the animal populations through complex biochemical processes,
so maybe this structuration and class system is inherent to the animal kingdom, however I again wonder why is then, if we are suppose to have evolved beyonce most of the groups in the animal kingdom, that we keep selecting the same characteristics? will we ever learn to live without them? and if so, what implications in the biological and social point of view would it bring to us?
but as I said this is what I was thinking about when I was walking in the forrest.....

Trying to portrait my very own fetische I made this pics using the great light in my room, I have the a small fetische for my black hihgheels... I have nothing else to say

Osamu Dazai

One more time I am amazed by an interesting Japanese writter, Osamu Dazai, he is considered one of the most important writters of the 20th century in Japan, his work is full of imagination and a nice engaging flow which seems simple althought full of Japanese traditions and cultural particularities, like the obsesion for suicide, so common in Japanese culture, in fact the author attempted suicide three times in his life for different reason and this and other situations that he lived in his childhood are relived in many of this books.
I am recomending his novel The setting sun, which is by far one of the most known and recognize pieces of Japanese literature.
Is a simple story about the falling of an empire and the society in Japan after the second world war. It is a floating story, very vivid, althought melancholic is beautifully written. If you have the chance to get it you will definetelly enjoy this enchanting reading.

Other curiosities of Dazai life were that he ran away with a gaisha and he was thrown out of his family and his social status due to this, he was a marxist follower and deplee depressed his entire life only ending with his suicide
The pic and information was obtained from the author website

Today

I promise to myself to be honest to myself in order to be honest to the world, to unhang the curtains that make everything look nicer and to see reality for what it is, to stop lying and be corageous and tame feelings and obsessions
I compromise to myself

Mario Benedetti

A little homenage to one of my favorite poets, who died last evening:
Pausa

De vez en cuando hay que hacer
una pausa
contemplarse a sí mismo
sin la fruición cotidiana
examinar el pasado
rubro por rubro
etapa por etapa
baldosa por baldosa
y no llorarse las mentiras
sino cantarse las verdades.

I wonder...

I dont want to have neither salt or sugar,
neither peace nor war,
I wonder why to lay or why not to, why is it that I dont want good neither bad,
I wonder what would would be if you were not there to put my feet back under your pillow my sweet wolf dress in sheep

leaves of grass

Anytime when feeling lost I have to look into one of my favorite poets, Walt withman

As I ponder'd in silence,
Returning upon my poems, considering, lingering long,
A Phantom arose before me with distrustful aspect,
Terrible in beauty, age, and power,
The genius of poets of old lands,
As to me directing like flame its eyes,
With finger pointing to many immortal songs,
And menacing voice, What singest thou? it said,
Know'st thou not there is hut one theme for ever-enduring bards?
And that is the theme of War, the fortune of battles,
The making of perfect soldiers.

Be it so, then I answer'd,
I too haughty Shade also sing war, and a longer and greater one than any,
Waged in my book with varying fortune, with flight, advance
and retreat, victory deferr'd and wavering,
(Yet methinks certain, or as good as certain, at the last,) the
field the world,
For life and death, for the Body and for the eternal Soul,
Lo, I too am come, chanting the chant of battles,
I above all promote brave soldiers.

What does it mean to be alive? Is it only breathing? is it only dreaming? is it when you die that you finally recognize what life means?......if so why do we keep not dying nor living? are we only gosths?

THE WISDOM OF JEDI MASTER YODA

Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.

Don't think. Feel. Be as one with The Force. Help you, it will.

Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is.

Clear, your mind must be.

Wars not make one great.

Patience!

To you

Please, let's just not pretend to be what we are not,
let's just not put names and rules and limits to what we really are,
let's not build hopes in the future or tell lies that will deeply hurt tomorrow,
let's just live the moments that we have together and not make plans for later,

But please, let's live every moment, drink it as if we have just opened and expensive wime bottle, let's keep the memory of our moments as clear as we can with not judgement, without ilusions, just facts,

In that way we are real and not an ilusion, we are safe from harm

For those in love....like me

Tactic And Strategy

My tactic is
Looking at you,
Learning how you are,
Loving you as you are,
My tactic is
Talking to you
And listening to you
To build with words
An indestructible bridge
My tactic is
Remaining in your memories
I don't know how
Nor with which pretext
But remaining with you.
My tactic is
Being frank,
And knowing that you are frank,
And not selling each other
Simulations
So that between us
There is no curtain
Nor abyss.

My strategy is,
However,
Deeper and
Easier,
My strategy is
That one of these days
I don't know how
Nor with which pretext
You finally
Need me.

Mario Benedetti

Don´t Save Yourself

Don't Save yourself,
Don´t be immobile
On the edge of the road,
Don't freeze the joy,
Don't love with reluctance,
Don't save yourself now
or ever,
Don't save yourself,
Don't fill with calm,
Don't reserve of the world
Just a calm place,
Don't let fall your lids
Heavy as trials,
Don´t speak without lips,
Don't fall asleep without sleepiness,
Don't think of you without blood,
Don't judge yourself without time.

But if in spite of everything
You cannot avoid it
And you freeze the joy,
And you love with reluctance,
And you save yourself now,
And you full with calm,
And you reserve of the world
Just a calm place,
And you let fall your lids
Heavy as trials,
And you speak without lips,
And you fall asleep without sleepiness,
And you think yourself without blood,
And you judge yourself without time,
And you are immobile
On the edge of the road,
And you save yourself,
Then
Don't stay with me.

Mario Benedetti

The movie quote- my favorite ever

Well, when I get it the only thing that does any good is to jump in a cab and go to Tiffany's. Calms me down right away. The quietness and the proud look of it; nothing very bad could happen to you there. If I could find a real-life place that'd make me feel like Tiffany's, then - then I'd buy some furniture and give the cat a name!
Holly Golightly: There you are, you sneak!

Breakfast at tiffany's

Tinna Modotti

Tina Modotti was born in August 1986 in Friuli, Italy. At the age of 16 she inmmigrated to US to join her father in SF where she worked as a model and artist. Tinna Modotti is one of my favorite photographers and social activist in the 1920s in Mexico and Cuba. This is reflected in her social directed pieces as the ones I am presenting here.

However reflecting her romanticism. Her favorite portraits were mexican rural scenes to reflect the political and social difficulties in that moment.
I simply enjoy the beuty of her work and the stetics that is reflected as well as the feeling of solitude that she reflected in her work.

Che if you could see me....

I really hate consumism it makes me queezy just to think what it means to the world for me to buy a new dress or anything at all...
but this evening as I steped into the supermaket, I felt as if I was cought into consumistic network, a non stoping need to shoooooooooop- after my alter ego was satisfied, I got a postconsumption depression and I thought.... if The Che could see me he would revolve in his grave....
I promise to be stronger next time my dear Che, cross my heart....
