Minuto y medio


Me enamoré de ti en lo que dura una canción pop
Y como tal, quedé prendado por la armonía de tu rostro
La melodía de tu voz, el ritmo de tus caderas
Y lo pegajosa que era tu personalidad...

♫ Capitán Memo, Eres Formidable... ♫

El Capitán sacó a flote un muy buen concierto. (Foto: La Nuez)

Si a alguien se le debe permitir lucrar con los recuerdos nostálgicos de nuestra infancia, es a Juan Guillermo Aguirre, más conocido en el mundo del hampa como el "Capitán Memo", autor de los temas de entrada de las series animados que marcaron una época en los niños y niñas de hace dos generaciones atrás.

Volver a empezar


Ha pasado mucho tiempo desde la última vez que me senté a escribir en las páginas virtuales de esta bitácora. Durante aquel período, muchas cosas (entre buenas y malas) ocurrieron en esta rutina que llamo vida. La primera, y más importante de todas, es que ingresé a trabajar a un medio grande de mi país, en donde espero iniciar lo que hace 5 años atrás escogí como la forma en que me ganaría la vida.

The Ataris - Eight Of Nine



these hospital walls are the palest of white
here in this desert they're reciting my last rites
the smell of these halls
brings temporary comfort
as the oxygen flows through my blood
el corazon was poisoned tonight...
she's on her eight of nine.

when half of all your prayers are insincere,
the other half are lies.
here is this watermark under this bridge.
the point where it all crested,
rolled back and drifted into the sea.
i climb from this wreckage
as the smoke begins to clear from my lungs.
the closest of close calls has happened tonight.

it's time that i made things right
for the first time,
since the last time.
let this moment of clarity
lift this curse that has been cast upon me.

appreciate the good times,
but don't take the worst for granted.
'cause you only get so many second chances

Érase una vez...

...un muchacho que le escribía al amor a toda hora y a todo momento. Había encontrado a la musa que le llenaba de una explosión de creatividad y una sobredosis de inspiración. Evocar el sólo recuerdo de su sonrisa bastaba para llenar miles de líneas en el cuaderno de su vida. Fue una de las épocas más prolíferas de la historia de este joven escritor. Y es que el amor que sentía hacia la fuente de su inspiración era tan inmensurable como las gotas de lluvia en una tarde de invierno o las estrellas en la noche más estrellada de verano.

En efecto, el joven escritor estaba perdidamente enamorado de su musa. Le dedicó sus mejores obras y depositaba un pedazo de su esencia con cada escrito que le presentaba. Se la pasaba siempre idealizando y resaltando las características de ella, tan sólo para ofrecerle las mejores encíclicas que en tiempos inmemoriables se destinaban para recrear los pasajes de los dioses mismos, que poblaron esta tierra antes de que se creara al primer hombre.

Mujer del rostro esquivo,
¿cuándo te dignarás a aparecer frente a mí?

Braid - You're Lucky To Be Alive


club starlight
where your eyes
round brown and shine
darted out for the dimes
in world record time
now it's time to give it to them

it's a new dream
it's constant it's madly it's everything to me
as the sun set on the set
on the set ready set go
go make a mess of the mystery
of your perfect love history


and everyone knows your name
and everyone knows we're the same
you're lucky to be alive


little bee stings and little happenings
they're all just silly things
they never made our scene interesting
they never made it into a movie screening


so hey love
she darts in and out for the drinks tonight
she misses your eyes at club starlight
she'll be back and blue in the summertime
together we'll ride wherever and forever


and you think you're insane
a somebody else in a cruel game
you're lucky to be alive
and everyone knows your name
and everyone knows we're the same
you're lucky to be alive


we're sick
and we'll stay sick
in this city
at least you'll keep your distance
but keep me around
our heads in the clouds
both feet off the ground.

Slayer - Disciple


Drones since the dawn of time
Compelled to live your sheltered lives
Not once has anyone ever seen
Such a rise of pure hypocracy
I'll instigate I'll free your mind
I'll show you what I've known all this time

God Hates Us All, God Hates Us All
You know it's true God hates this place
You know it's true he hates this race

Homicide-Suicide
Hate heals, you should try it sometime
Strive for Peace with acts of war
The beauty of death we all adore
I have no faith distracting me
I know why your prayers will never be answered

God Hates Us All; God Hates Us All
He Fuckin' hates me

Pessimist, Terrorist targeting the next mark
Global chaos feeding on hysteria
Cut throat, slit your wrist, shoot you in the back fair game
Drug abuse, self abuse searching for the next high
Sounds a lot like hell is spreading all the time
I'm waiting for the day the whole world fucking dies

I never said I wanted to be God's disciple
I'll never be the one to blindly follow

Man made virus infecting the world
Self-destruct human time bomb
What if there is no God would you think the fuckin' same
Wasting your life in a leap of blind faith
Wake the fuck up can't ignore what I say
I got my own philosophy

I hate everyone equally
You can't tear that out of me
No segregation -separation
Just me in my world of enemies

I never said I wanted to be God's disciple
I'll never be the one to blindly follow
I'll never be the one to bear the cross-disciple

I reject this fuckin' race
I despise this fuckin' place

New Found Glory - Listen To Your Friends


I wake up in a waiting room
With the taste of blood
And a clouded view
I notice there is a tear in my jeans
The sleeves of my shirt have been ripped from their seams
My memory is a little bit blank
The thought of my name doesn't seem to come back
And I turn and scream "what am I here for?"
The nurses yell "you were left at the door"
I'm a stranger, someone left me for dead
And I need to decide what to do next

Oh
Just then I found a note in my pocket, it read:
"I don't ever wanna see you again" and I guess
That explains why I can't remember the rest of the night

I should have listened to my friends
I should have listened to them
When they told me you had bad intentions

I remember the string of events
From the dinner receipt
When I grabbed your hand
I know that you went in for a kiss
And I told you "that's not only what this is"
You held me at the end of my seat
And you had that look, the look of defeat
You wish that you could start this over
Instead you left me in a coma

Oh
Just then I found a note in my pocket, it read:
"I don't ever wanna see you again" and I guess
That explains why I can't remember the rest of the night

I should have listened to my friends
I should have listened to them
When they told me you had bad intentions

I should have listened to my friends
I should have listened to them
When they told me you had bad intentions

Oh
Just then I found a note in my pocket, it read:
"I don't ever wanna see you again" and I guess
That explains why I can't remember the rest of the night
Yeah

I should have listened to my friends
(and I don't ever wanna see you again)
I should have listened to them
When they told me you had bad intentions

I should have listened to my friends
(and I don't ever wanna see you again)
(LISTEN TO YOUR FRIENDS!)
I should have listened to them
When they told me you had bad intentions

When they told me you had bad intentions...

El Mundial de...


Sudáfrica 2010 ya se acaba y nos ha traído muchas cosas, aparte de fútbol. Este evento que paraliza el planeta cada cuatro años y reúne a las mejores selecciones de 32 países, aterrizó en el continente africano por primera vez en su historia. A Sudáfrica llegaron los respectivos campeón y subcampeón del torneo pasado, disputado en Alemania en el 2006 uno dispuesto a defender su título y otro, dispuesto a arrebatárselo... pero otra fue la historia, ya que este Mundial si algo nos ha enseñado, aparte que Shakira puede hacer una canción con cualquier bisílaba (con su bendito Waka Waka que ni a los mismos sudafricanos les agrada) y que la Vuvuzela debería ser considerada una tortura china, es que en este tipo de eventos, es que se puede esperar de todo aparte de la presencia del deporte rey y he aquí una pequeña lista de las cosas que adornaron este certamen. ¿Que por qué lo enumero? ...porque esto es Africa.

Counting Crows - Accidentally In Love



So she said what's the problem baby
What's the problem I don't know
Well maybe I'm in love (love)
Think about it every time
I think about it
Can't stop thinking 'bout it

How much longer will it take to cure this
Just to cure it cause I can't ignore it if it's love (love)
Makes me wanna turn around and face me but I don't know nothing 'bout love

Come on, come on
Turn a little faster
Come on, come on
The world will follow after
Come on, come on
Cause everybody's after love

So I said I'm a snowball running
Running down into the spring that's coming all this love
Melting under blue skies
Belting out sunlight
Shimmering love

Well baby I surrender
To the strawberry ice cream
Never ever end of all this love
Well I didn't mean to do it
But there's no escaping your love

These lines of lightning
Mean we're never alone,
Never alone, no, no

Come on, Come on
Move a little closer
Come on, Come on
I want to hear you whisper
Come on, Come on
Settle down inside my love

Come on, come on
Jump a little higher
Come on, come on
If you feel a little lighter
Come on, come on
We were once
Upon a time in love

We're accidentally in love
Accidentally in love [x7]

Accidentally

I'm In Love, I'm in Love,
I'm in Love, I'm in Love,
I'm in Love, I'm in Love,
Accidentally [x2]

Come on, come on
Spin a little tighter
Come on, come on
And the world's a little brighter
Come on, come on
Just get yourself inside her

Love ...I'm in love

Daft Punk - Digital Love


Last night I had a dream about you
In this dream I'm dancing right beside you
And it looked like everyone was having fun
the kind of feeling I've waited so long

Don't stop come a little closer
As we jam the rythm gets stronger
There's nothing wrong with just a little little fun
We were dancing all night long

The time is right to put my arms around you
You're feeling right
You wrap your arms around too
But suddenly I feel the shining sun
Before I knew it this dream was all gone

Ooh I don't know what to do
About this dream and you
I wish this dream comes true

Ooh I don't know what to do
About this dream and you
We'll make this dream come true

Why don't you play the game?
Why don't you play the game?

Pensando en ti


¡Qué feliz vive el que ignora todo a su paso!

Me gustas, vaya que en demasía, pero no me atrevo a decírtelo...
Quizás temo que no compartas la misma idea que yo, pero esta es mi verdad...

Me gustas y no sé como hacer para hacértelo saber...

El amor en los tiempos de Facebook


Imagínense este escenario: A conoce a B en una fiesta y congenian, y extienden su vínculo amical a través de conversaciones vía messenger y Facebook. A y B, luego de un tiempo, empiezan a verse más seguido y nace el amor. El hecho es celebrado por A cambiando su estado actual de "Soltero" a "Tiene una relación con..." alguien, en este caso, B. Muchos dicen que puede ser el comienzo de algo bonito entre ambos, pero estudios recientes señalan que Facebook ha sido sindicada como la causal en la ruptura de varias relaciones.

Aerosmith - Hole In My Soul



I'm down a one way street
With a one night stand
With a one track mind
Out in no man's land
The punishment sometimes
Don't seem to fit the crime

Yeah there's a hole in my soul
But one thing I've learned
For every love letter written
There's another one burned
So you tell me how it's gonna be this time

Is it over?
Is it over?
'Cause I'm blowin' out the flame

Take a walk outside your mind
Tell me how it feels to be
The one who turns
The knife inside of me

Take a look and you will find
There's nothing there, girl
Yeah I swear, I'm telling you, girl yeah 'cause

There's a Hole In My Soul
That's been killing me forever
It's a place where a garden never grows
There's a Hole In My Soul
Yeah, I should have known better
'Cause your love's like a thorn without a rose
Yeah, yeah

I'm as dry as a seven year drought
I got dust for tears
Yeah I'm all tapped out
Sometimes I feel broken and can't get fixed

I know there's been all kinds of shoes
Underneath your bed
Now I sleep with my boots on
But you're still in my head
And something tells me this time
I'm down to my last licks

'Cause if it's over
Then it's over
And it's driving me insane

Take a walk outside your mind
Tell me how it feels to be
The one who turns
The knife inside of me
Take a look and you will find
There's nothing there, girl, yeah, I swear
I'm telling you girl yeah 'cause

Yeah, is it over?
Yeah, it's over
And I'm blowing out the flame

Take a walk outside your mind
Tell me how it feels to be
The one who turns
The knife inside of me
Take a look and you will find
There's nothing there, girl, yeah, I swear
I'm telling you girl yeah 'cause

Oh, oh...

Toto - Stranger In Town





I remember it was late one night
in the middle of a dream
woke up in a pool of sweat
thought I heard a scream
Ran over to the window sill
stuck my head out for a peek
Dressed in black was a man I didn't recognise
running down my back street
My heart skipped a beat

You better watch out, there's a stranger in town
You better watch out, there's a stranger in town
You better watch out when he comes around
Don't make a sound

Got the morning paper and the headlines read:
"Danger to the queen"
Buckingham Palace better tighten things up
The son of a bitch is mean
Vendors on the corner just doin' their job
acting like nothing's new
Scotland Yard's still looking for him
but he doesn't leave a single clue

Who's this man who fell out of the sky?
What's he done and where's he live?
How can a man who's a criminal be a hero to the kids?
The old couple swear that the ripper's back
They say it's him all right
The young girl says it's Jesus and he won't be back again tonight
I wonder who's right ?

You better watch out...

No sé como...


No sé como decirte que estoy aquí cuando todos los demás se han ido. Sólo tienes que levantar tu mirada y encontrarás a la mía, siempre pendiente y al tanto de lo que te ocurre en la vida.

No sé como explicarte que mientras más te empecines en buscar a ese hombre perfecto, ignoras que aquel ser ha estado a tu lado desde hace tanto tiempo, que parece toda una eternidad.

Placebo - Bright Lights


Cast your mind back to the days,
When I pretend' I was OK.
I had so very much to say,
About my crazy livin'.
Now that I've stared into the void,
So many people, I've annoyed.
I have to find a middle way,
A better way of givin'.

So I haven't given up,
That all my choices, my good luck...
Appear to go and get me stuck,
In an open prison.
Now I am tryin' to break free,
In a state of empathy.
Find the true and inner me,
Eradicate this schism.

No-one can take it away from me,
And no-one can tear it apart.
'Cause a heart that hurts,
Is a heart that works.
A heart that hurts,
Is a heart that works.

A heart that hurts,
Is a heart that works.
No-one can take it away from me,
No-one can tear it apart.
It may be elaborate fantasy,
But it's the perfect place to start.

'Cause a heart that hurts,
Is a heart that works.
A heart that hurts,
Is a heart that... works.

Entre el Amor y la Guerra


En nuestras vidas, nos topamos con distintos seres que de una forma u otra, nos afectan considerablemente; unos más que otros, en aspectos que no podemos imaginar. Marchamos hacia la guerra de nuestro destino tan solo con el fusil de la esperanza y una caja de municiones hechas de nuestras emociones, sin habernos preparado previamente y expuestos a todos los peligros en aquel cruento enfrentamiento para encontrar el amor.

Recibimos disparos de indiferencia y explosiones de decepción, que muchas veces nos alcanzan y nos hieren, pero en raras excepciones, los esquivamos y no nos hace rendir en la búsqueda de nuestro objetivo. Así como nosotros, hay varios más quienes también lucha por aquella causa; la mayoría se queda en el camino, lastimados o imposibilitados de continuar y aceptando un destino que no es el que les correspondía.

El rostro de tu recuerdo

¿Te ha pasado que luego de terminar una relación o simplemente decidiste separarte de alguien, ves su rostro en cualquier parte y en cada persona que conozcas? Yo lo digo porque a mí me suele pasar a menudo. Sino es tu maldito rostro, es tu condenada figura, tu desgraciada cabellera o tus nefastos ojos en los atributos de cualquier mujer que se cruce en mi camino. ¿Por qué simplemente no puedo sacarte de mi mente?, ¿borrarte al igual que un archivo en mi computadora, sin dejar registro alguno que me haga recordar tu existencia?

Ayer por la noche, me topé con una mujer que era tu viva imagen. Debo admitir que cuando la vi me quedé impactado, pensé que habías decidido dejar los rencores de lado y asistir a mi actividad; pero no, era otra persona que no tiene la culpa de parecerse físicamente a ti. Enfatizo lo de físicamente, porque anímicamente, ella es mucho mejor que tú. Pero aún así, no dejé de mirarla en toda la noche y lo más gracioso, es que no era la primera vez que la veía. Quizás el hecho de que hayamos estado en un lugar más iluminado y con menos afluencia de gente ayudó a aquello, pero al fin y al cabo, es lo mismo.

Tenía unas ganas asesinas de llevarte a un lado y decirte que me recordabas a alguien de mi pasado, y que quería que tú me ayudases a recordarme mi presente. Me pregunto si sería feliz teniendo a mi propia versión de ti, claro que sin tus patéticos y manipuladores atributos personales. Quizás el hecho de que te haya idealizado no me ayuda en mucho, como tampoco ayuda el que luego de este año que nos hemos vuelto un par de completos extraños, escriba estas líneas haciendo alusión a lo que fuiste en un determinado tiempo para mí.

No te deseo el mal, pero tampoco tengo ganas de no hacerlo. Lo único que desearía es poder ser como tú en el aspecto de olvidar a las personas, quizás así empezaría a ser feliz de una buena vez por todas. En fin, estas líneas me sirvieron simplemente como una especie de desahogo, de un idea que me venía rondando en la cabeza y que al igual que este post, ha quedado plasmado (y espero que olvidado) en los anales digitales de mi bitácora virtual.

¡Saludos!

The Killers - When You Were Young


You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now
Here he comes

He doesnt look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined
When you were young

Can we climb this mountain
I dont know
Higher now than ever before
I know we can make it if we take it slow
Let's take it easy
Easy now
Watch it go

We're burning down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane
That started turning
When you were young
When you were young

And sometimes you close your eyes
And see the place where you used to live
When you were young

They say the devil's water
It ain't so sweet
You dont have to drink right now
But you can dip your feet
Every once in a little while

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now
Here he comes

He doesnt look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined
When you were young
(talks like a gentleman)
(like you imagined)
When you were young

I said he doesnt look a thing like Jesus
He doesnt look a thing like Jesus
But more than you'll ever know

Arctic Monkeys - When The Sun Goes Down


Who's that girl there?
I wonder what went wrong
So that she had to roam the streets
She dunt do major credit cards
I doubt she does receipts
It's all not quite legitimate

And what a scummy man
Just give him half a chance
I bet he'll rob you if he can
Can see it in his eyes,
Yeah, that he's got a driving ban
Amongst some other offences

And I've seen him with girls of the night
And he told Roxanne to put on her red light
They're all infected but he'll be alright
Cause he's a scumbag, don't you know
I said he's a scumbag, don't you know!

Although you're trying not to listen
Overt your eyes and staring at the ground
She makes a subtle proposition
"I'm sorry love I'll have to turn you down"

He must be up to something
What are the chances sure it's more than likely
I've got a feeling in my stomach
I start to wonder what his story might be

They said it changes when the sun goes down
Around here

Look here comes a Ford Mondeo
Isn't he Mister Inconspicuous?
And he don't even have to say 'owt
She's in the stance ready to get picked up

Bet she's delighted when she sees him
Pulling in and giving her the eye
Because she must be fucking freezing
Scantily clad beneath the clear night sky
it doesn't stop in the winter, no
Around here

They said it changes when the sun goes down
Over the river going out of town

What a scummy man
Just give him half a chance
I bet he'll rob you if he can
Can see it in his eyes that he's got a nasty plan
I hope you're not involved at all
