“Cristina,” Correa explained, “Evo’s plane has been detained, and they won’t let him leave Europe.”

Let´s hope Snowden is a real person or at least not a sort of Hollywood based action film ... (it may sound awfull but it -somehow- crossed my mind ... :? )

The gov't gonna make life miserable for that kid they ever get the chance to nail him to a wall somewhere - big pussies - so tough they be - all it takes is one young man to send them all into various violent spasms and they get to choking on their jello pudding - it's this fascist lean to everything and under everything up here that bothers me when I think about it - don't even want to talk about it - can already feel my brain tightening up - these guys ain't patriots - they are just anal - I wish I could get asylum in some country where all the women spoke Spanish
and looked at me from under long dark hair - wwwooooooooeeeeeeeeeeeee! I'd be leaving Gringolandia in a New York minute and let them eat my dust! You can believe in an idea but you sure can't make love to it 8)

it´s not surprising really: HAARP can be named PRISM can be named ....
Strange moments when we are noticed about things we already know ... maybe the cosmos needs some formality, after all...! :lol:

getting hard to find the poetry in things these days - i go for the less is more ideas now - the call don't come consuming me the way it once did i think - simple things call to me more, kayaks, bicycles, a game of chess ... all this pumped up stuff ain't got my name on it the way it once did - i notice things like a single maple seed got tracked in the house - how it looks laying there on the rug with nothing else around it - the shape of it, the color, the feel of it in my fingers, the promise of it as a seed - laying there without wind or sun touching it - i pick it up and take it back outside and throw it up high - a whole forest leaving my fingers ... spinning into the grass

what you wrote here is beautiful, mingo!. It seems you are becoming a wise man! :D . Yeah, lately I also had a more vivid experience about my time here being limited and at the same time infinite and I was more willing to consider what things I chose to appreciate, contemplate, not deal with, live with or whatever in a let´s call it a more conscious way ... But the unconscious in me is still big, I chose a service-job & at any moment I can be menopausic, so life sometimes is more shacky & messy & iterative than expected, at least at the moment ... :lol: :wink: Gracias for sharing, vecino!

After two weeks of reading, cinema, sleeping more than usual, cafés, trekking & sierras, tomorrow I´ll start working again ... (and of course there is a lot of work I supposed to do and I didn´t do during these weeks and now I have to do it yes or yes between today and next friday ... :lol: :shock: ). I guess I´ll start :wink: reading this:
