“Viva la Vida” Frida Kahlo



Image

Viva Frida! Yes I know she is dead, but even so... Viva la Vida


You know I come close to being Argentinian arcadia.

Baron De Hirsh
He rescued thousands of peasant Jews from the pogroms, sent them to
communes he established in Argentina and the USA.
I don't know why they sent my grandmother to New Jersey not the Argentine pampas.

I think I would rather be a South American than a North American these days.

Sorry this has nothing to do with FARC
It is just difficult for me to get behind any revolution
Except maybe feminism.
But they say I pander to women.

aren´t jews citizens of the world? :roll: (sorry, it´s my dark humor again!)

well, the twin sister of my grand-grand-sicilian-mother Mara migrated to USA in a different ship than her! :lol: It´s a common story. But I agree with you, I also prefer to be a southamerican!!!! :wink:

I love the darkness, so many electric lights here I can never see the stars at night.

I am not sure a Jew can have a nationality anymore, not since the holocaust anyway. Amos Oz is an interesting writer talks about the homesickness for Europe among the the Israelis.


I like this quote from Philip Roth very much.
"a Jew without Jews, without Judaism, without Zionism, without Jewishness, without a temple, or an army, or even a pistol, a Jew clearly without a home, just the object itself, like a glass or an apple",


I guess I am supposed to be here, I seem to make myself home were ever I am. But I always yearn for the sea. One day I hope I find myself living on the coast somewhere, any coast, any ocean will do.

the Strait of Magellan I would love to sail that.
I would love to be burried at sea, I been thinking about trying to buy one of those pre paid burial insurance policies and see if it would pay for that.

the close to that people do here is to trought their ashes to the river while sailing. I saw a documentary about burials in Florida´s sea that at the same time allows corals? to grow up. It sounds good!!!

Yes, instead of prepaid funeral insurance I should just buy another sailboat. It would be an ecconomy of effort. Sail the Straight of Magellan and a burial at sea.

I am not Captain Josua Slocum, for me it would be
suicide by sailboat

are you the one in "suicide by sailboat"´s photo, s-t? :)

no news from Columbia, Uribe, the CIA & Chavez except the recorded voices heard some days ago in the university radio of UNAM student´s parents killed by Colombia´s army near FARC campamentos some time ago.

love & peace to all!

beautiful photo, s-t!! I love sailboats!!!! :)

Bussi... yeah, there are several trials to ex?-little?-dictators in differents provinces during these days mixed with different incidents (heart attacks, amenazas, something like very expressive madness, etc...). First time I knew about Bussi was when I was in Tucumán 9 years ago and they told me about what he did with the menhires in the Tafí del Valle zone... it seems is not the most terrible thing at all...

I will have to translate
be back later
the local paper said he had something to do with the disappearance of a senator.


Argentina does not get much ink in my local paper
Mexico always in the news

Strange how a story makes the front page for a while and then disapears down the memory hole. Stories about central american gang being recruited into the military here. Guatemalan I think.

101 degress here the air is still like being dead in the water sails hanging slack. I have to look up the word 'doldrums" see if it means what I think

Denver Doldrums
I can't imagine it could be as bad as the san antonio doldrums. Humidity must be a hudred persent I can almost feel a rain drop but it boils so quickly.

translate later
so long for now
