Llevas Una Estrella en tu Vientre - Ricardo Arjona

-
"You Carry a Star in your Womb"... I just like Ricardo Arjona more and more... English follows...

A mi, me gusta Ricardo Arjona más y más:

Era el proceso mensual mas tardio de su historia
fue a una amiga del colegio a la que le compartio su memoria
le conto que dos meses atras con aquel muchacho fugaz
comieron tremendo pastel en aquel viejo hotel.

El anciano facultativo
despues de las pruebas anuncio el positivo
y para esas alturas el futuro padre ya era un fugitivo
y mientras un rotativo
anuncia la trillada utopia de la deuda externa
a esa niña le fabrica su pecho una sabia materna

CORO
Llevas una estrella en tu vientre
llevas una vida que late
un posible ingeniero, roquero o escritor
quiza bohemio, quiza un señor
quiza compositor poeta medio loco o soñador...
quiza una idea quiza una solucion

Buscaba entre sus amigas el mejor de los consejos
que iban desde una inyeccion hasta una sopa de cangrejos
y sin la menor precaucion los medicos le dieron su cotizacion
mientras le anuncian en la tele otra devaluacion.

Llevas una estrella en tu vientre
llevas una vida que late
un posible ingeniero, roquero o escritor
quiza bohemio, quiza un señor
quiza compositor poeta medio loco o soñador...
quiza una idea quiza una solucion

A esa estrella en tu vientre no le digas detente
si lo hubiesen hecho conmigo...
hoy faltaria una canción

I'll just translate the refrain here:
You carry a star in your womb
A life that beats
A possible engineer, rocker or writer
Maybe bohemian, maybe a gentleman
A Composer, poet, half crazy or dreamer...
Maybe an idea maybe a solution

And the last little bit:
To this star in your womb don't say stop
If they had done so with me...
Today a song would be missing

Sectes

Il y a peut-être un an de cela, une amie m'a dit qu'elle avait entendu dire certains gens traiter Marie-Jeunesse de secte. Mon mari ne connait pas Marie-Jeunesse, mais il est convaincu qu'Opus Dei est un secte et le livre "Le code DaVinci" n'a fait, bien sur, qu'affirmer ses croyances. Pourquoi est-ce que quand un groupe suit le Vatican et ses enseignements et encourage les autres à le faire aussi, même des personnes à l'intérieur de l'Église le traitent de secte?! La suite logique à cela serait de dire que le Vatican lui-même est un secte! Alors ces gens-là pensent quoi? Qu'ils ont la vérité et que c'est le Vatican qui en a dévié? Qu'ils sont les vrais catholiques, alors que le Vatican n'a pas de bons sens? Il y a presque 15 ans j'ai fait partie de Marie-Jeunesse, avant que ce groupe ne devienne communauté religieuse. Laissez-moi vous dire que Marie-Jeunesse n'a rien d'un secte. Libre à vous d'y aller ou d'y par

Megamind

A couple of weeks ago, I rented 3 or 4 movies for the family to watch during the week.  (7-day rentals)  Among them were The Zookeeper, which I figured would be the family one, and Megamind, which I figured would only be interesting for the kids. As often happens, there was some argument about which movie would be watched first.  Dominic put Megamind on, even though we were going to watch The Zookeeper, and I was going to change it, except... I really got caught up in the story.  Megamind is the most endearing villain ever.  He never wins at being bad, he's predictable, his plans fail, his code words aren't even code. Then Metroman gets tired of being the hero and lets Megamind win.  Suddenly being the villain isn't fun anymore when there is no good guy to fight against. So Megamind comes up with his worst plot yet, he creates a new hero to be the champion of good.  Except the plan, as usual, backfires and Megamind has to fix it, and learns something about h

Against the Unweaving

If you have an e-reader, and enjoy fantasy/sci-fi check this trilogy out. (It's also available in paperback on amazon, but costs a bit more) It was on a list of deals of the day, in an e-mail I received awhile back, and I'm not sure why, but I looked at it, thought, "Hey... fantasy/sci-fi, $0.99... what do I have to loose?" I think this is one of those "nothing happens without a reason" moments. If you don't mind some crass details, (like, for instance, when someone sniffs, it's enough to know that they sniffed, I don't need to read the word snot as well... but whatever) once you get over how confusing it is to keep all the different countries straight and the different creatures... once you get into the book, it just takes you along for the ride. And then you start to notice certain things that sound rather familiar... certain doctrines, certain teachings... talk of redemption... and by the time you begin the third book... you're re
