Still I look to find a reason to believe
(Tim Hardin)
If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe
Someone like you makes it hard to live without
somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give
never think about myself
If I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find a way just to leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe
If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe
Someone like you makes it hard to live without
somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give
never think about myself

Milena's Secret Fantasy
Milena's Secret Fantasy
All, we men, can do is look in awe and wish we could be privy to the fantasy. To understand that which can create such excitement in a woman. It is an age-old secret that only few have had the pleasure to enjoy. The secret that is unexplainable in words. "Love" comes close and yet just doesn't quite do it. Her freedom to be vulnerable. The total comfort to let herself go without inhibition and in complete safety. To feel as if she is one with her surroundings. To let the moment of ecstasy transport her. A short journey it may be, yet as far away from earth as the farthest star. And then the calm after the fury. Soft silence comes upon her and all who are privy to observe in awe.

El Organillero, tradición que se resiste a morir
(Leo Mendoza)
Son una especie en extinción. En el siglo pasado recorrían las calles lanzando al aire sus melodías algo tristes y melancólicas pero llenas de tradición. Las dueñas de casa salían a la puerta a escucharlos, mientras los niños correteaban a su alrededor. Después, con unas monedas recibidas se daban por pagados y continuaban su peregrinar urbano.
Este joven adolescente, con tenida moderna y postura más irreverente, ha continuado la tradición de su padre o tal vez de su abuelo. Algún dia ese hermoso aparato musical dejará de sonar y así desaparecerá una tradición más de nuestra tierra.
Al menos, aún tenemos la oportunidad de escuchar, de vez en cuando, esas nostálgicas melodías que parecen transportarnos a un mundo mágico,evocador y más amable que contrasta con la vorágine impersonal de la vida moderna.

Marino. A later dandy
Charles Baudelaire, in the later, "metaphysical" phase of dandyism defined the dandy as one who elevates aesthetics to a living religion, that the dandy's mere existence reproaches the responsible citizen of the middle class: "Dandyism in certain respects comes close to spirituality and to stoicism" and "These beings have no other status, but that of cultivating the idea of beauty in their own persons, of satisfying their passions, of feeling and thinking ....
