Been visiting a couple of sites...

It’s amazing everything you can do. The Canal Referendum is just in two weeks, but I don’t see a good point in neither both sides. The “yes” and the “No”, guess politics is part taking sides and keeping with it.

Got down to the un-attainable 200Lb mark

It’s amazing. My weight is dropping faster, I wonder what’s the difference between what I’m doing and fasting, excepting maybe I’m eating less than 2000 calories a day, taking supplements and vitamins and working out at the gym on a daily basis. I no longer feel tired, but the tension on my muscles after the gym tends to drop faster. Everything else is normal. I’m having a Cholesterol test on saturday.

Volunteer task #2

This one found trough Nabuur It’s a small cooperative of peruvian women in the andean mountains that wants to get in contact with distributors outside Peru. Manuel put a website for them. I’m proposing setting up an e-commerce shop to ease the administration and posting of the garments.

From rain streams to the seven seas...

When I was a kid growing in a poor neighbourhood mom didn’t allowed me to go outside when it rained. The strong rain would create big streams that would turn the dirty road into a river and as the rain force subsided small streams wouls run down the street. My whole knowledge of the world outside my neighbourhood was limited to the stories of ancient greece in a small tome of a encyclopedia some previous owner let at the rented home we had. I would see the streams running, would open the wood door without making a noise and put on the stream a paper boat, watching it get lost in the stream, sailing away to the lands mentioned in the books. Innocence is such a beautiful thing.

On Zen and Let it go

I was pondering this evening in hot4550 advice , I thought I would meditate on it at home after work. Then I realized it. You see, when you do Zen, as a basic exercise you need to admit things into your consciousness, embrace them, find their cause and then let them go. I would describe it as forming leaves out of thin air then dropping them in a small creek, watching them flowing away with the stream. I know how to let things go, but I hadn’t been applying that knowledge to every aspect of my life.

Woot!

Found a great online database of birds at natureserver.org

They have range shp files available. It’s feasible then to upload the map data as layers to a panama google map! Would be ubercool!

Good, just two pages more to go.

Prototype

I was wondering if instead of buying a laptop I should invest in a server.

Afraid of..

My relationship is 5 months old, we came from different backgrounds, meet by chance. I’m past beyond the times I would think of myself unworthy of anyone, but, I love her so much, that I can’t avoid thinking sometimes I should let her go because she has chances of finding a better mate, and I won’t be able to face not giving her everything I wanted her to have. If I only could put in order my life, maybe I would feel safe in the security I have something to offer her, but right now, uprooted as I feel from everything, she’s the only point of reference I have.

I’m also afraid of letting it go. I know I can, I can let it go my fears and embrace it, but would be advisable, shouldn’t I talk with her, explaining to her so she would have a choice, or I should expect I’ll be back on my feet sooner than later.

Mid 30’s crisis?

The feared date is near

34 years old!! Looking back, I wonder how I managed to survive this long. I was supposed not to live beyond my 24 birthday anyways.

The Maelstrom of past year had subsided, and with it the excuse for not to put in order my life, living as a wanderer has that advantage I guess, you keep postponing because you belong nowhere.

So, Ken, what about the next 10 years?

A young man prays to the Black Christ of Portobelo

This one I took in a trip to Portobelo . Portobelo was an very important port found in 1519. Now it’s a sleepy town. The icon the young man is praying is the Cristo Negro (Black Christ), the legend tolds a spanish ship looking for harbour from a storm got to portobelo carrying the statue to South America, but everytime the ship tried to leave the port the storm would came back, so they left the statue and were able to leave. For his feast people would walk miles from other towns in the country, dressed as the Cristo Negro in purple in order to give thanks to the Christ for miracles conceded.
