Volando voy, volando vengo
Volando voy, volando vengo
por el camino yo me entretengo
por el camino yo me entretengo.
Enamorado de la vida
cabeza clara
Enamorado de la vida
cabeza clara
Si tengo frío
busco candela
Si tengo frío
busco candela
Y volando vengo, volando vengo y voy
volando vengo
por el camino yo me entretengo
por el camino yo me entretengo.
Señoras y señores sepan ustedes
Señoras y señores […]

I was playing several chess games (16 exactly), and won them all. Well, I’m not going to talk about won or loss, but about something I always avoid and I don’t want it to be in my character.
Almost all the games were won with sadism, indifference, agressivity and superiority. If I were in my […]

… why should you waste a single moment of *your* life seeming to be something you don’t want to be? Lord, that’s so simple. If you hate your job, quit it. If your friends are tedious, go out and find new friends. You are queer, you lucky fool, and that makes you one of […]

انكم تصيرون أحرارا بالحقيقة إذا لم تكن أيامكم بلا عمل تعملون ولياليكم بلا حاجة تفكرون بها أو كآبة تتأملون لذكراها
بل تكونون أحرارا عندما تمنطق هموم الحياة وأعمالها أحقاءكم بمنطقة الجهاد والعمل وتثقل كاهلكم بالمصاعب والمصائب ولكنكم تنهضون من تحت أثقالها عراة طليقين
لأنكم كيف تستطيعون أن ترتفعوا إلى ما فوق أيامكم ولياليكم إذا […]

I personally hate soccer; not as a game, but for what did people do of it.
It became a business machine, a political game (Berlusconi, Bernard Tapie and others), a people everyday’s talk, a religion.
But what I hate the most, is that soccer comes to divide people, to enhance racism and to favor violence!
A scandaleous […]

Many people think that the continent name ‘Africa’ comes from Ifriqia, the old name of Tunisia which also means ‘The separator’, because it separates the orient from the Magreb. However, Romans used to call Tunisia ‘Africa’ too; so what’s wrong?
Something is sure, is that the name is “Tunisian”, but it’s not Arabic. Here’s the […]

Today seems to be Tom’s day in my blog!
Tom asked me some days ago whether I can contribute to the first Tunisian OpenSource project QCM-Gen 0.1, something I cannot refuse; however, I spent my free time watching Jackass the movie and playing chess. Finally I decided yesterday to work on it seriously (well, […]

If you are looking for arguments to disapprove wars and promote peace, I would suggest you watch Lord of War.
When I found the movie at the catalogue, I remembered a Tom’s post and decided to take it.
Yuri (Nicolas Cage) is a Ukrainian emigree who lives in New York and who decided to sell guns […]

As an extra addled service, I am going to put this column in the Spilling Checker, where I tryst it will sale through with flying colons. In this modern ear, itis simply inexplicable to ask readers to expose themselves to misspelled swords when they have bitter things to do.
And with all the other timesaving […]

Ojalá que las hojas no te toquen el cuerpo cuando caigan
Para que no las puedas convertir en cristal.
Ojalá que la lluvia deje de ser milagro que baja por tu cuerpo.
Ojalá que la luna pueda salir sin tí.
Ojalá que la tierra no te bese los pasos.
Ojalá se te acabé la mirada constante,
La palabra precisa, la […]

Man is the only animal that deals in that atrocity of atrocities, War. He is the only one that gathers his brethren about him and goes forth in cold blood and calm pulse to exterminate his kind. He is the only animal that for sordid wages will march out…and help to slaughter strangers of […]

I launch a contest to all the cinephiles. No award is given, you just win this track. You have to guess about the movie and therefore the very famous actor who is speaking.
I encoded the track from the movie (I have the DVD, what else?) and converted it to OGG format, it’s legal, […]

Tango lovers do, it’s La Cumparsita — Tango’s Most Famous Song.
The cafe ‘La Giralda’ in Montevideo, Uruguay, occupies a special place in Tango history. It was there in the year […]

The weekend rallies and demonstrations drew smaller crowds than earlier anti-war demonstrations, when millions gathered in 2003 and 2004. US President George W Bush, despite dwindling public […]
