VERSE 1
Son las cinco en la manana, y yo no he dormido nada
Pensando en tu belleza, enloco voy a parar
El insomnio es mi castigo, tu amor sera mi alivio
Y hasta que no seas mia, no vivire en paz
Y hoy conoci tu novio, pequeno y no buen mozo
Y se que el no te quiere, por su forma de hablar
Ademas tu no lo amas, porque el no da la talla
No sabe complacerte, como lo haria yo
Pero tendre paciencia, porque el no es competencia
Por eso no hay motivos, para yo respetarlo.

No es amor, lo que tu sientes, se llama obsesion
Una ilusion, en tu pensamiento
Que te hace hacer cosas, asi funciona el corazon

VERSE 2
Bien bestido y en mi lexus, pase por tu colegio
Me informan que te fuiste, como loco te fui a alcanzar
Te busque y no te encontraba, y eso me preocupaba
Para calmar mi ansia, yo te queria llamar
Pero no tenia tu numero, y tu amiga ya me lo nego
Ser bonito mucho me ayudo, eso me trajo la solucion
Yo se que le gustaba, y le di una mirada
Con par de palabritas, tu numero me dio
Del celular llamaba, y tu no contestabas
Luego te puse un beeper, y no habia coneccion
Mi unica esperanza, es que oiga mis palabras
"No puedo, tengo novio" - no me enganches por favor.

No es amor, (escuchame por favor)
Lo que tu sientes,( que es?)
Se llama obsesion
Una ilusion (estoy perdiendo el control)
En tu pensamiento
Que te hace hacer cosas, asi funciona el corazon

VERSE 3
Hice cita pa'l psiquiatra, a ver si me ayudaba
Pues ya no tengo amigos, por solo hablar de ti
Lo que quiero es halarte (to pull toward oneself), para intentar besarte
Sera posible que por una obsesion uno pueda morir
Y quizas pienses que soy tonto, pribon y tambien loco
Pero es que en el amor, soy muy original
Me enamoro como otros, conquisto a mi modo
Amar es mi talento, te voy a enamorar
Disculpa si te ofendo, pero es que soy honesto
Con lujo de detalles, escucha mi version
Pura crema e' chocolate, un tarte y deborarte
Llevarte a otro mundo, en tu mente corazon
Ven vive una aventura, hagamos mil locuras
Voy a hacerte caricias, que no se han inventa'o

"Let me find out!"

CHORUS
No es amor no es amor - Es una obsesion....
(Repite hasta el FIN)

You come out for dancing
and you never see....
the girls come by to pick you up
and you hardly ever go
it seems your head is in the clouds above
you got the ways of a woman in love

I go by your house at night, and hoping I can see
the guy who's got you all worked up, I wish that guy was me
I don't know why it's you I'm dreaming of
you got the ways of a woman in love

Many is the night, I laid awake and cried
Now you never know how much you hurt my foolish pride
I recall your kisses, the times I held you thight
Now when I come to see you, you're sitting in the light
Missing all the things that we dreamt of
you got the ways of a woman in love

Feeling bad today ? Check out what happened to Tautomu Yamaguchi :

On the 6th of August 1945, the US bomber "Enola Gay" dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima. 80.000 Japanese died on the spot, that year another 60.000 died due to severe burnings and radiation diseases. Tautomu Yamaguchi, a 29-year old engineer happened to be in Hiroshima that day and survived. Nevertheless, the unlucky guy decided to travel to Nagasaki, where -for the second time-an atomic bomb was dropped on his head. I mean, can things get any worse ?

Crazy story :-)

Con quella faccia un po' così
quell'espressione un po' così
che abbiamo noi prima di andare a Genova
che ben sicuri mai non siamo
che quel posto dove andiamo
non c'inghiotte e non torniamo più.

Eppur parenti siamo un po'
di quella gente che c'è lì
che in fondo in fondo è come noi, selvatica,
ma che paura ci fa quel mare scuro
che si muove anche di notte e non sta fermo mai.

Genova per noi
che stiamo in fondo alla campagna
e abbiamo il sole in piazza rare volte
e il resto è pioggia che ci bagna.
Genova, dicevo, è un'idea come un'altra.
Ah, la la la la la la

Ma quella faccia un po' così
quell'espressione un po' così
che abbiamo noi mentre guardiamo Genova
ed ogni volta l'annusiamo
e circospetti ci muoviamo
un po' randagi ci sentiamo noi.

Macaia, scimmia di luce e di follia,
foschia, pesci, Africa, sonno, nausea, fantasia..
e intanto, nell'ombra dei loro armadi
tengono lini e vecchie lavande
lasciaci tornare ai nostri temporali
Genova ha i giorni tutti uguali.

In un'immobile campagna
con la pioggia che ci bagna
e i gamberoni rossi sono un sogno
e il sole è un lampo giallo al parabrise...

Con quella faccia un po' così
quell'espressione un po' così
che abbiamo noi che abbiamo
visto Genovache ben sicuri mai non siamo
che quel posto dove andiamo
non c'inghiotte e non torniamo più

Walk in silence

walk like a monster
confronting and die
don't walk away

walking on air
hunting by the rivers, through the streets, every corner...
abandoned too soon
sit down with you
( care ..)

don't walk away

No man is an island, entire of itself,
every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main
if a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were,
as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were
any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind
and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls
it tolls for thee.
-- John Donne

El Greco

2005-03-05T15:13:00.000+01:00

El Greco was born in 1541 near Heraklion on the greek island of Crete and died in 1614 in Toledo, Spain. The painting you see here is a "View on the city of Toledo" dated +/- 1600.
( NY MOMA )
We still find this painter attractive today, he is really an icon of catholisism and representation of different saints. When I was in Madrid I especially went looking for him in the Prado and the Museum Thyssen-Borneszima and I can say I was really impressed by the powerful force you experience by looking at his works.
The fierce colours he uses, the long-stretched figures who are anatomically impossible, but gives each painting a very dramatic tension. When you see an El Greco painting, always look at the right hand of the character, you will notice that the fingers are crossed. That was his signature.
I very much like the passion and the pain I feel when looking at his works, to me he is one of the greatest en certainly most unique painters I know.
The view on Toledo you see here, I find a very dark and depressing painting, the coming tempest predicts us times of violence and tragedy.. Also the very low perspective reminds us of the littleness ( nothingness ) of man in relation to history, faith and fortune.

I hope you enjoy him as much as I do.

My tiger friend has got a sled
And I have packed a snack
We're all set for the trip ahead
We're never coming back

We're abandoning this life we've led
So long, Mom and Pop !
We're sick of doing what you've said
And now it's going to stop

We're going where it snows all year
Where life can have real meaning
A place where we won't have to hear...
"Your room could stand some cleaning"

The Yukon is the place for us
that's where we want to live
Up there we'll get to yell and cuss
And act real primitive

We'll never have to clean a plate
of veggie glops and goos
messily we'll masticate
using any fork we choose !

The timber wolves will be our friends
We'll stay up late and howl
at the moon, till nighttime ends
before going on the prowl.

Oh, what a life, we cannot wait,
to be in that arctic land,
Where we'll be masters of our fate
and lead a life that's grand.

No more of parental rules !
We're heading for the snow !
Good riddance to those grown up ghouls !
We're leaving, YUKON HO

Hell fire and heavenly light

2004-11-26T13:57:00.000+01:00

As we can always enjoy an elegant chain of thoughts :

Dr. Schambaugh, of the University of Oklahoma School of Chemical Engineering, Final Exam question for May of 1997. Dr. Schambaugh is known for asking questions such as, "why do airplanes fly?" on his final exams. His one and only final exam question in May 1997 for his Momentum, Heat and Mass Transfer II class was: "Is hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
Support your answer with proof."

1 student, however, wrote the following:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time So we need
to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which
they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to
Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.

As for how many souls are entering Hell, let''s look at the different
Religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that
if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since
there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to
more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell.

With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in
Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the
volume in Hell because Boyle''s Law states that in order for the temperature
and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand
proportionately as souls are added.

This gives two possibilities:

1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which
souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase
until all Hell breaks loose.

2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls
in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell
freezes over.

So which is it?

If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa Gibbons during my Freshman
year that, "it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you", and take
into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number 2 must
be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen
over.

The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows
that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore,
extinct...leaving only Heaven thereby proving the existence of a divine
being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God."

THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A"

en de wollie ook

This is BY FAR the best flemish poem ever, not incedently it comes from Antwerp, enjoy :

Toen hij bespeurde hoe den nevel van den tijd
In d'n ogen van zijn vrouw de vonken uit kwam doven,
haar wangen had verweerd, haar voorhoofd had doorkloven,
toen wendde hij zich af en vrat zich op van spijt.

Hij vloekte en ging te keer en trok zich bij den baard
en mat haar met den blik, maar kon niet meer begeren
hij zag de grootste zonde in duivelsplicht verkeren
en hoe zij opkeek als een stervend paard.

Maar sterven deed zij niet, al zoog zijn helse mond
het merg uit haar gebeente, dat haar toch bleef dragen
Zij dorst niet spreken meer, niet vragen of niet klagen
en rilde waar zij stond, maar leefde en bleef gezond

Hij dacht : ik sla haar dood en steek het huis in brand
ik moet de schimmel van mijn stramme voeten wassen
en rennen door het vuur en water plassen
tot bij een ander lief in enig ander land

Maar doodslaan deed hij niet, want tussen droom en daad
staan wetten in den weg, en praktische bezwaren
en ook weemoedigheid, die niemand kan verklaren
en die des avonds komt, wanneer men slapen gaat

Zo gingen jaren heen, de kindren werden groot
en zagen dat de man die zij hun vader heetten
bewegingloos en zwijgend bij het vuur gezeten
een godvergeten en vervaarlijken aanblik bood

Astemblieft !

Today in Antwerp Cathedral

2004-10-16T17:29:00.000+02:00

The creativity and the pathology of the human mind are two sides of the same coin, hammered in evolution. First is responsible for the splendour of our cathedrals, second for the monster statues, decorations to remind us that the world is full of devils and evil spirit. They represent the insanity throughout mankinds history.

Sorrow no more

2004-10-04T05:01:00.000+02:00

As it was late in the night when I drove my folks to Charleroi airport "Brusssels south", I was alone on the highway coming back and this song was on the radio : Sorrow by Bad Religion.
Suddenly I was on the memory lane and had a feeling like "it might end up all right now".

Father can you hear me?
How have I let you down?
I curse the day that I was born
and all the sorrow in this world
Let me take you to the herding ground
where all good men are trampled down
Just to settle a bet
that could not be won
between a prideful father and his son

Will you guide me now for I can't see a reason
for the suffering and this long misery
What if every living soul could be upright and strong?
Well then I do imagine

There will be (sorrow)
Yeah there will be (sorrow)
And there will be sorrow no more

When all soldiers lay their weapons down
or when all kings and all queens relinquish their crowns
Or when the only true messiah rescues us
from ourselves it's easy to imagine

There will be (sorrow)
Yeah there will be (sorrow)
And there will be sorrow no more

There will be (sorrow)
Yeah there will be (sorrow)
And there will be sorrow no moreYeah

there will be (sorrow)
Yeah there will be (sorrow)
And there will be sorrow no more

I guess we have to be thankful for moments like this

Time for beauty : sculpture

2004-10-04T01:52:00.000+02:00

After the politics and sports, I found it necessary to share a moment of beauty with my honorable ( lucky ) few readers. This statue of condottieri Colleoni by Andrea del Verrocchio gives the word "macho" a new meaning, even though it is dated 1480. You can find it at the Campo Santi Giovanni e Paolo in Venice. ( That's where my parents heading for next week )

9-11-1973 Allende dies

2004-10-03T17:19:00.000+02:00

New documentary by Patrizio Guzman, some comments I read in the Belgian press:
Why a new documentary on Salvador Allende, everything has been said ?
On the contrary ! People in Chile don't talk about him, the land is suffering from a total loss of memory. We must save Allende from oblivion.
What did you found out about him ?
Allende was a rather "classic" man, some kind of a serious teacher. He had these serious glasses and always wearing old-fashioned costumes. He spoke very slowly, a bit like an old man. On the other hand he was really a "bon vivant" he loved women, jokes and red wine. His speeches were highly ironic. He was charming and social but not a demagogue. He came from a wealthy family, but was capable of talking to everybody. He knew perfectly well how to communicate in politics. Furthermore he had his ethusiasm, even when he lost elections, again ( ! ), he shouted : "and tomorrow there's another day !" Little by little, the people in Chili started to appreciate him. By the time Allende became president, I was fully aware of the fact that he was living history.
Until the end Allende believed that he could accomplish social reformation in a legal way, wasn't that an illusion ?
Allende just saw an opportunity to live up to his ideals and he went for it. He was always in trouble, half of the country loved him, the other half could eat his guts. Even the army was divided. The USA have a large part in the failure of Allende, the responsability of Kissinger and Nixon is enormous. They played a real dirty game and used all the foul play they could think of. First Nixon spent millions of dollars in anti-Allende propaganda, when that failed the CIA organised the coup in Chili. Result : Allende shoots himself, Pinochet starts his terror.
Edward Korry, American Ambassador in Chili at that time, admits in the documentary that Nixon wanted to crush Allende. An AXIS Santiago - Havana was a horror-scenario for the White House.
Exactly, and the White House keeps using the same simple principles to ground its foreign policy. Certainly it is true that Allende admired Castro and Guevara, Allende was in a way revolutionary but he was truly opposed to violence. He condemned the Russian invasion in Prague and Hungary. In the end, when Castro wanted to send him armed troups to resist the coup, Allende refused and said to Castro that the last thing on earth he wanted was Cuban soldiers in Chili. The sad thing however is ; nothing has changed. Nixon and Kissinger were terrible but Bush and Rumsfeld are even worse.

I took the liberty of squeezing the interview ( in Dutch ) into my handicapped English. Not only I violated the copyright, I also messed with somebody's carefully formulated opinions... The responsability is all mine, but I think I respected the general idea of the interview; you have to trust me on that.

Abou the photo / it's one of these pictures that gives you the feeling history was happening right in front of that camera, right then and there. Try to imagine a recent history without photography

en de buiken omvangrijk zijn
Vlaanderen mijn land
Bij het Noordzeestrand

ou on sait cuisiner avec les poires
ou les gens sont importants
ou les ventres sont gros
La Flandre mon pays

Ingres

This painting has a lot of qualities, notice the realism of the sheets on the bed, and who is standing behing the curtain ? More : I like this painting because the woman is trapped in an act of privacy, well I like women and I like privacy

Cette peinture a beaucoup de qualités, il faut justement regarder le lit pour apprécier le maitre, en outre ( ?) qui se cache derrière les drapeaux, la femme est visiblement occupée par des besognes intimes, ça rend la peinture plus forte ( commentaire sur mon français ... hit me)

Thanks to Sporza, the Belgian sports channel, I found out this lady can sing too, they used 'quelqu'un m'a dit' as soundtrack for a special on Richard Virenque, now I've heard she was with Mick Jagger, that's a bit of a disappointment, he could be my grandfather

"On me dit que nos vies ne valent pas grand chose,
Elles passent en un instant comme fanent les roses.
On me dit que le temps qui glisse est un salaud
Que de nos chagrins il s'en fait des manteaux
Pourtant quelqu'un m'a dit...{Refrain:}
Que tu m'aimais encore,
C'est quelqu'un qui m'a dit
que tu m'aimais encore.
Serais ce possible alors ?
On me dit que le destin se moque bien de nous
Qu'il ne nous donne rien
et qu'il nous promet tout
Parait qu'le bonheur est à portée de main,
Alors on tend la main
et on se retrouve fou
Pourtant quelqu'un m'a dit ...
Mais qui est ce qui m'a dit que toujours tu m'aimais?
Je ne me souviens plus c'était tard dans la nuit,
J'entend encore la voix,
mais je ne vois plus les traits"
Il vous aime, c'est secret, lui dites pas que j'vous l'ai dit"
Tu vois quelqu'un m'a dit...
Que tu m'aimais encore,
me l'a t'on vraiment dit...
Que tu m'aimais encore,
serais ce possible alors ?
On me dit que nos vies ne valent pas grand chose,
Elles passent en un instant comme fanent les roses
On me dit que le temps qui glisse est un salaud
Que de nos tristesses il s'en fait des manteaux,
Pourtant quelqu'un m'a dit que...
