My favourite song: THE SCIENTIST

Come up to meet you, Tell you I’m sorry, You don’t know how lovely you are I had to find you, Tell you I need you, Tell you I set you apart Tell me your secrets, And ask me your questions, let’s go back to the start Running in circles, Coming our tails, Heads on the science apart Nobody said it was easy It’s such a shame for us to part Nobody said it was easy No one ever said it would be this hard take me back to the start I was just guessing, At numbers and figures, Pulling the puzzles apart Questions of science, Science and progress, Do not speak as loud as my heart Tell me you love me, Come back to haunt me, Oh when I rush to the start Running in circles, Chasing our tails, Coming back as we are Nobody said it was easy It’s such a shame for us to part Nobody said it was easy No one ever said it would be so hard I’m going back to the start


This is one of my favourite songs which is from coldplay. When I hear this song I imagine a man who has apparted from him the woman he loves because he was confused. But then he misses her and starts appreciating her more. He is telling her that he needs her, that he has set her apart with stupid reasons and now he wants her back. He misses her secrets and questions but most of all he misses when their relationship was perfect. But it was so perfect to be real so they started questioning everything and got confused, they have lost what they have been constructing that was so important for them so now they are in an uncertain situation loosing time and suffering. He thought that it would be easy and people have warned him that love has difficulties but no one told him that he could suffer like that. He feels frustrated and empty without her so he pretends her to come back and say that she loves him but things are not so easy. She is confused too and has been suffering a lot so she is not sure if she wants to have a relationship with him again going throw the risks of suffering more because things can get worse. He says that they are running in circles, without a solution or exit. When they try to solve the problem they get to the same place with difficulties and confusions so they are trapped. Imagine a world like the one in “brave new wolrd” where this feelings are not involved… how boring!, for me it is very important to experience intense sensations. I think that in a situation like this, people have to take the risk because if not, they will ask theirselves for ever, what would happen if they have tried again. It is better to fail trying new things, being sincere and acting following our feelings that staying in the same miserable position all our life.

History of the birthday party!

The earliest birthday parties were held because people believed evil spirits were particuarly attracted to people on their birthdays.
At first it was only kings who were recognized as important enough to have a birthday celebration. To protect them from harm, friends and family would to come be with the birthday person and bring good thoughts and wishes.
Giving gifts brought even more good cheer to ward off the evil spirits. As time went by, children became included in birthday celebrations. The tradition of children's birthday parties first started in Germany, Kinderfeste.
The largest private birthday party to ever happen was in 1970 for Colonel Harlan Sanders' 89th birthday. The event was attended by over 35,000 people.

Here I post a reaction to the book Brave new World, which i taked from internet and adappted to my self.

There are so many disturbing aspects of this book. Mother is a word that causes people to blush since there are no mothers anymore. Love is disgusting and unfathomable yet sex is encouraged even as children during "erotic play" time. Contraceptives are carried around on a belt worn by women. Relationships do not exist beyond sex. People are discouraged from ever being alone (after all, one may have time to think). And if one ever gets unhappy, all you do is take a soma, a hallucinogen that makes everything o.k. God does not exist.God has become nothing but a myth that society mocks and laugh at. God has become replaced with the term "Ford". I must say that Huxley had excellent insight into what the invention of an automobile could lead to. The book is filled with "Oh Ford!", "The year of our Ford", and "his Fordship." I can't help but think of the first commandment and the story from the bible of the golden calf. "You shall not worship false idols." Huxley has given us the extreme of worshipping false idols and shows societies tendency to replace God with material possessions. The soul of a human has been replaced with chemicals, "groupthink", genetic engineering, and false happiness. What we are left with is an empty shell; a robot that looks like a human. Sex exists to make people happy, not to reproduce. If reproduction occurs, there are whole buildings dedicated to abortion. Motherhood is not welcomed in this brave new world. And what a brave world it is to make so many assumptions.These are some of my initial thoughts on the novel. I can't do it justice with a simple blog post. Huxley has created a masterpiece that was relevant from the day it was published and will always remain relevant. It is a telling example of what the loss of spirituality can do and of the necessity of so many emotions that we perceive as negative.

Comon partners, comen in my wonderful post!jaja

Look those children...didn't they remember you to the children of the story "Brave new world"??..no perents..no family..no life..all equals physically and spiritually. They didn't have any idea from where they are and from where they come, they are looking each other waiting for some help..someone to tell where to go or what to do..I think it's a very interesting pick to coment about it and in pur country it's becoming a daily and serious problem.

IMAGINE

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
And no Hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no country
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
Maybe someday you will join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no posessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
Or Brotherhood of Man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
And maybe someday you will join us
And the world will be as one
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
Maybe someday you will join us
And the world will be as one...
