Y estaba contentísimo de noche
esperándote bajo tu casa
apriétame la mano, ya nos vamos
Tú estabas contentísima
cuando mirando Amsterdam
no te importaba
que la lluvia ya cayera
solo un vela era
hermosísima, recuerdos
y recuerdos que me sugerían
que de todas formas algún dia diré
que estaba contentísimo
pero nunca te dije que
gritaba dentro dios aún más todavía

she tore my letter
never read it

she knew not what i asked
she cares not

En Oaxaca se toma el mezcal con café
dicen que la hierba le cura la mala fe
a mí me gusta el mole, 
la soledad me va moler..

En Oaxaca con agua hacen chocolate
dicen que en la fiesta todito se ha de quemar
..

what i'd give to run my fingers through your hair,
touch your lips, to hold you near
When you say your prayers try to understand
I've made mistakes, I'm just a man

And I will love you, baby,
Always
And I'll be there forever and a day,
Always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
till the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme
And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you
Always

- Bon Jovi

La Martiniana

si quieres que te recuerde,
si quieres que no te olvide,
canta mis sueños del alma,
música que no muere

no me llores, no
no me llores, no
porque si lloras yo peno
en cambio si tú me cantas
yo siempre vivo
y nunca muero

love is over-rated.  most of the time.

may be so, but.  there is only one way to know for sure.

today, while cleaning, I found a $500 check from NLP to me, which apparently I never cashed.  There is no memo comment, I don't know what it was for.  It is dated June 1999, so I can make conjectures for what it may have been and what it may not have been for.

Now I'm getting ideas about calling her, and counter-thoughts about not calling her, or anybody.

life.

When we two parted
in secret we met-
In silence I grieve,
That thy heart could forget,
thy spirit deceive.

If I should meet thee
After long years,
How should I greet thee? -
With silence and tears.
 - George Gordon, 1788-1824

Every time I hear a political speech or I read those of our leaders, I am horrified for having, for years, heard nothing which sounded human. It is always the same words telling the same lies. And the fact that men accept this, that the people's anger has not destroyed these hollow clowns, strikes me as proof that men attribute no importance to the way they are governed;
that they gamble yes, gamble with a whole part of their life and their so called "vital interests."
- Albert Camus
