The New Year found me working...para variar :)

Feliz año nuevo GMT - 5!!! Happy new year!! Panama city is alight with fireworks.

Interlude: The circle was cast, the quarters called, the gods invoked...And the Sun entered into our life...That it turned out to be G-type star well, nothing is perfect...It was a good year...Among good years.

Heut’ an Silvester will ich dich grüßen – und Dir mit einem Kuss den Tag versüßen. Doch nicht nur heute denk ich an dich, das ganze Jahr bist Du der Sinn für mich.

;)

Interlude: 2010 brought the sun, two loves, a home, a family, an iPad, education, work, friends and joy...2010 showed us the sun is just another G-type star, we're too cynical for true love, one doesn't feel comfy taking one-night-stands to your flat when it's "your" "home", a family can be lost, and iPad can be broken, education is not enough, work can turn into a narrow street, misery sometimes is more rewarding than joy and friends move on or are claimed by God too early, however, overall it was a good year...Well, it wasn't 2009, but yes, we're still alive.

Interlude: 2010 is almost over!...Still we've something to do before midnight...I hate deadlines.

RT @Bécquer El alma que hablar puede con los ojos también puede besar con la mirada.

RT @Gibrán Y serenos velareis en los inviernos de vuestro dolor.

Interlude:What are you doing?...Reading poetry...besides triggering an early archival...There's nothing worth being archived for, nothing at all.

RT @Bécquer Sólo recuerdo que lloré y maldije, y que en aquella noche envejecí.

RT @Cortazar No puede ser que seamos dos, no puede ser que seamos dos.

Working...

Interlude: It's hard to be a mere mortal again....For God's sake is just an iPad!, spare me the drama.

Interlude:We are in the middle of a frontal attack and you smile as if everything is just falling in place...There's a cosmic joke behind the eternal smile of the Buddhas...I cannot subscribe to that view of the Universe...The Universe doesn't care, therein the joke, namaste...namaste.

So the iPad also has a blue screen of death...

Interlude:Sleeping humans are beautiful in a particular way...Because they are not aware of themselves, they revert to their true nature.

Waking up...

Note-to-Self: Get notions of common basic car repair.

Interlude: Thoughts on M's new companion?...Middle age is when you choose cereal for the fiber, not the toy...You are being too polite!...M's choice, not ours to take or judge.

Interlude: What does she wants from me?!...Any woman can weep without tears, and most can heal with their hands. It depends on the wound. She is a woman, Dear, and that's riddle enough.

Interlude: Do that answers your question about why paired hominids bring their offspring to the mall?...Indeed.

Hominids watching...

Interlude:Wonder why big families choose to come to the foodcourt on sundays...You really must crave after that blue steak...A bloody piece of warmed rotten and dead meat?! You have no idea!

Quoting the first ever Christmas card sent:
A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to You

p.s.
May we live long enough to share a Christmas dinner with every single person we meet on our journey that changed us for the better. Our friends.

RT @CharlesDickens Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childish days; that can recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth; that can transport the sailor and the traveller, thousands of miles away, back to his own fire-side and his quiet home!

RT @LarryWilde Never worry about the size of your Christmas tree. In the eyes of children, they are all 30 feet tall.

RT @KateBosher Isn't it funny that at Christmas something in you gets so lonely for - I don't know what exactly, but it's something that you don't mind so much not having at other times.

RT @FrancisFarley Instead of being a time of unusual behavior, Christmas is perhaps the only time in the year when people can obey their natural impulses and express their true sentiments without feeling self-conscious and, perhaps, foolish. Christmas, in short, is about the only chance a man has to be himself.

Interlude:Monks muttering?...fervently.

Moon grows, hearts fade
Sacred touch of a deified's skin
monks muttering, brightly

Interlude: More roadblocks...Opportunity dances with those already on the dance floor...Not interested on dance floor partakers; however, the DJ booth looks far more interesting.

Patience pays off...

RT @LouisC.K. We live in an amazing, amazing world and it's wasted on the crappiest generation of spoiled idiots.

Interlude:I wonder when people starts summoning roadblocks...Roadblocks make excellent stepping stones to cross over baselines thinking.

Interlude: The Rock of Gibraltar...Beg your pardon?...The rock is made of limestone, your heart is not.

My crack berry is gone, life seems less frantic today.

Going back home, not much to do at the office until the job completes.

FB RT@Eric Jackson There are 912 cables from the US Embassy in Panama in the WikiLeaks database.

I suspect that nobody will be killed because of the information, but I also expect that the "common wisdom" of the "War on Drugs" will be dealt a mortal blow. I also supsect that the political class here will be even more discredited, and that the Panamanian people will be less likely to look to the Americans to solve things. #Panama #Wikileaks

Cars, in theory, give you a terrifically fast method of traveling from place to place. Traffic jams, on the other hand, give you a terrific opportunity to stay still.
