Yoga (in particular, pretty much everything in general): if it's easy you're doing it wrong.

And if is hard you're not necessarily doing it right.

Jackson Pollock: If people would just look at the paintings, I don't think they would have any trouble enjoying them. It's like looking at a bed of flowers, you don't tear your hair out over what it means.

Live long, die fast.

I fell back asleep some time later on
And I dreamed the perfect song
It held all the answers, like hands laid on
I woke halfway and scribbled it down
And in the morning, what I wrote, I read
It was hard to read at first but here's what it said:
"Eid ma clack shaw zupoven del ba
Mertepy ven seinur cofally ragdah"
"Eid ma clack shaw zupoven del ba
Mertepy ven seinur cofally ragdah"

Eid ma clack shaw means Live long, die fast at least accordingly to my dream.

Mass tooth-brushing was invented in America in the 1920s by Hopkins, with Pepsodent and two basic rules:

“First, find a simple and obvious cue.
Second, clearly define the rewards.”

Excerpt From: Duhigg, Charles. “The Power of Habit.” Random House Publishing Group, 2012-02-28. iBooks.

This is how you rewire your brain. If you want to.

Sorry Arcade Fire, I don't get your last album (there's even a hidden track, you reeeeeally had to do that cheap trick right?). It's probably just me... it happened before with those other cool guys, Interpol, and before that with U2 but I'll try making new friends while you work on the next one, ok?

(having some drinks with these guys as I speak)

Palo on ice

140118

hi Q guys, long time no see right?


starting at 2:44:

Religion and sex are powerplays
Manipulate the people for the money they pay
Selling skin, selling god
The numbers look the same on their credit cards
Politicians say no to drugs
While we pay for wars in south america

Fighting fire with empty words
While the banks get fat
And the poor stay poor
And the rich get rich
And the cops get paid
To look away
As the one percent rules america

Spreading the disease
Everybody needs
But no one wants to see
The way society
Keeps spreading the disease

The best place to be is somewhere else

Thanksgiving

140116

When you feel blue, alone and "nobody loves me", just think that Earth is attracted by you. Not much, but is still better than nothing, right?

Wish you were beer

We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year.

140115

You cannot effectively fight temptation unless you discover and adopt a bigger temptation.

Keep calm and don't meme.

Better together

You raise the blade
You make the change
You re-arrange me till I am sane
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head but is not me.

So what's the magic trick to lose 5 kilos after you just quit (well... ok, "put aside" then) smoking and drinking?

[yoga]

Will frame this as my next wedding present

140109

I noticed there's a limited amount of daily attention and creativity that can be used and spending it on crap will get me back nothing more than refined crap.

That's also why you are wasted after a shopping session at the mall.

Clowns are Dads Too

I badly need some AI implementation to cleverly understand my online habits and curate the web crap for me. To all startups out there: do something soon or I'll write it myself.

But of course I know "there is something greater than myself" - I love icecream too.

When the Devil came, he was not red

He was chrome and he said
"Come with me"

And oh, that haunting guitar at 2:57...
