Spain, a cadaverous country, fed by corruption and decomposition.

Since the arrival of Prime minister Rajoy to Moncloa's office in November of 2011, the Government has raised 41 times the taxes pressure over the Spaniards by creating new taxes or simply by increasing the taxation of the ones already created. We can state that millions of people in Spain have been fooled by the ones who promised to serve the country. The Partido Popular in the office did not do any of the most important reforms that the country really needs: the elimination of the omnipresent corruption in all the institutions, the continuous splurge, the installment of effective measures to dissipate the huge ratio of unemployment and the reduction of the size of the public organizations subsidized with the money of the citizens.

 After two consecutive terms of socialists leading the country to perdition, Rajoy is doing the same as his predecessor, even worse, because never before the amount of taxes over the Spaniards had been so oppressive. 

Actually, we can admit that Rajoy's term is just the third one of Zapatero. None of the main socialist laws and reforms have been eliminated. There is a complete continuation in the legacy of Zapatero, a ruthless

continuation of that legacy that keeps impoverishing the country day after day.

But the worse of it, it is that there is not any solution for this. The country is so corrupted that there is not any possibility to be led by any other group rather than socialists or PP. After all the corruption, injustice, cruelty,

unemployment, lies, abuses and incompetence, the Spaniards today would keep voting to these parties in more than the 50%. In other words,  more than half of the nation is accomplice with what is happening in the

country.

There is not hope, nor future for Spain with the response of its inhabitants. How is it possible to keep voting these two parties, that are the same one, after all? I have a theory, by which the explanation is simple: the lack of pirnciples, self-respect, moral values and dignity that characterize the present Spanish society. For more than a half of the nation, it became irrelevant that their representatives are corrupted and are taking them to poverty and misery. For them, the knowledge of truth does not matter anymore. For more than a half of the Spaniards there is not any political cost from so much atrocity. There is none.

  Spain is nowadays a languishing land, dragging itself day after day, with grayish countenances, convinced by its cowardice that the best thing to do when you became a slave, is to do nothing, just like its president.

Movie 300. Memorable quotes.

-Your fingers can finish what your fingers started... or has the oracle robbed you of your desire as well?

-Spartan!
-Yes,  milady.
-Come back with your shield or on it.
-Yes, milady.
Goodbye my love. He doesn't say it. There is not room for softness... not in Sparta. No place for weakness. Only the hard and strong may call themselves Spartans. Only the hard, only the strong.

-My friend.
-I have lived my entire life without regret until now. It is not that my son gave up his life for his country. It's just that I never told him that I loved him the most. That he stood by me with honor. That he was all that was  best in me.


-May I give the floor now to the wife of Leonidas and queen of Sparta.
-What's this?
-This is nothing.
-Councilmen. I stand before you not only as your queen. I come to you as a mother. I come to you as a wife. I come to you as a Spartan woman. I come to you with great humility. I am not here to represent Leonidas. His actions speak louder than my word ever could. I am here for all of those voices which cannot be heard. Mothers, daughters, fathers, sons. Three hundred families that bleed for our rights and for the very principles this room was built upon. We are at war, gentleman. We must send the entire Spartan army to aid our king in the preservation of not just ourselves, but of our children. Send the army for the preservation of liberty. Send it for justice. Send it for law and order. Send it for reason. But most importantly, send our army for hope. Hope that a king and his men have been not wasted to the pages of history. That their courage bonds us together. That we are made stronger by their actions and that your choices today reflect their bravery.

Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - Your Funeral My Trial (+playlist)

I am a crooked man
And I've walked a crooked mile
Night, the shameless widow
Doffed her weeds, in a pile
The stars all winked at me
They shamed a child
Your funeral, my trial
A thousand Marys lured me
To feathered beds and fields of glover
Bird with crooked wing cast
It's wicked shadow over
A bauble moon did mock
And trinket stars did smile
Your funeral, my trial
Here I am, little lamb...
Let all the bells in whoredom ring
All the crooked bitches that she was
(Mongers of pain)
Saw the moon
Become a fang
Your funeral, my trial

About time. Memorable quote

-We're all travelling through time together, every day of our lives. All we can do  is do our best to relish this remarkable ride.

The Scrpt. Biography.

t's been a rags to riches glory ride, an emotional rollercoaster, an all action, all-star blockbuster. Three young Dubliners took on the world, with music fashioned from the emotional detritus of their own hard lives raised up by a love of pop, rock, hip hop and soul. In two years they've notched up a handful of hit singles around the world, including "We Cry", "Breakeven" and "The Man Who Can't Be Moved". Their 2008 self-titled debut album, The Script, went to number one in the UK and Ireland, and is now approaching 2 million sales worldwide. They've played stadium shows with music heroes U2, Take That and Sir Paul McCartney, and to cap it all, "Breakeven" - which has already sold over 1.7 million downloads in the U.S. alone - rewrote history here in America on Billboard's Adult Pop Songs radio airplay chart to take the # 1 spot where the song completed a record-setting 36-week rise to the summit.

But that was just the first draft. It's now time to write a whole new Script.

The scene is a recording studio in London. Two young Irishmen are listening to playback. Handsome, dark haired Danny O'Donoghue is The Script's charismatic vocalist and keyboard player. Shaven headed Mark Sheehan is their intense, loquacious guitarist. Third member, friendly but taciturn drummer and multi-instrumentalist Glen Power is in an adjoining studio, laying down a beat. Danny and Mark cannot sit still. They are leaping about to the music blasting from huge speakers, an addictive blend of hip hop rhythms, flowing melodies, sparkling hooks and emotive, story-spinning lyrics, with Danny's mellifluous soulful vocals riding high over huge, anthemic choruses. This is their forthcoming second album, Science & Faith, and it's fair to say the band is excited.

"We've gone from playing small clubs to performing in theatres, at festivals and in stadiums," says Mark. "It's a little bit shocking to us as new band, playing to these mass audiences. And we feel we have to touch everybody, hit ever fucker in there."

"I'm just so excited about this record," declares Danny. "We are more confident about our sound, so you really want to fine tune your writing skills. Find the essence of what we do songs that mean something that people would like to sing out loud at a concert." "We've had to really think about who we are, what we are, and why it matters," continues Mark. "Take all that experience and try and do something positive with it. We really just want to nail that last album. Put it to the wall."

The studio door flies open, and in bursts drummer Glen. "I've nailed that track lads!" he declares. "Wait til you hear it! I've got blisters on my hands!"

The Script are like this all the time, highly passionate, sincere and poetically articulate, with a tendency to talk over each other in their eagerness to express themselves. The journey to their new album has been a strange one, with many twists and turns. Danny and Mark met in their early teens in Dublin, and had a long struggle for musical recognition, albeit picking up early admirers for their prodigious songwriting talent in U2. They somehow wound up in the U.S., working as songwriters and producers with such R&B heroes as Dallas Austin, Teddy Riley and The Neptunes. A chance encounter with Glen focussed their ideas on making their own music, and the trio was formed. But in the midst of recording their debut album in Dublin, both Mark's mother and Danny's father passed away, inspiring bittersweet live favorite "The End Where I Begin". A meteoric rise through the world's charts followed but, even at the moment of their greatest triumph, they found themselves having to keep their pride in check, as their native Ireland sank into a devastating economic crisis, amongst the hardest hit of European nations following the credit crunch. 

And this is where the new chapter in The Script's tale really began.

"We were coming back to Dublin victorious, only to be confronted with stark reality," recalls Danny. "It's like you've waited for that great day when you can say, 'I've finally made it' and everyone else is saying, 'My life has turned to shit'." 

"I actually felt really guilty," admits Mark. "Meeting my mates who used to tell me I might need to get a real job to support my family, and buying me a beer when I was the one who was suffering. The tables have turned quite considerably, and you want to be a little bit excited and go, 'oh, man, we just played with McCartney, we just got to number one,' but they're going 'I just lost my job', or 'I split up with my wife."

"What's going on in Ireland is a microcosm for the rest of the world," suggests Danny. "So here we were back in Dublin and there are a lot of relationships going on and we're seeing people who have met under money, under the Celtic Tiger, and they've never known what to do without money. People are getting stripped of everything, stripped of their jobs and their homes and their furniture, so it's going to back to an old thing of drinking cheap bottles of wine, having dinner on the floor, nothing but candlelight, and it's like they are meeting each other for the first time. But I'm not saying that in a bad sense. Its getting back to reality, you are standing naked in front of this person. That notion really resonated with us, and we wrote a song, "For the First Time". I felt like it was something that could be a real flagship, to set the tone for what we want to talk about, emotionally. And the rest has spun off from there."

The songs came thick and fast. "Exit Wounds", about the damage relationships can wreak. "You Won't Feel A Thing", about suffering all the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune to protect your most loved ones. "Nothing" about a drunken, broken hearted phone call to a lost love ("We've all been there," as Danny says). "Don't Change A Thing" about always leaving the door open for the possible return of a loved one. And the title track, "Science & Faith", about the primacy of love in the universal equation. "With all of these subjects, we're always trying to attack at a level where it's optimistic," insists Danny. "We're dealing with complex emotions in the simplest of ways, that's what we battle with in these songs."

"On first listen, the subject matter might sound bleak," says Mark. "But I think being Irish there is this undertone of hope all the time. It's about having coping skills to get over things. With Irish people, no matter how bad things get, you always pick yourself up and carry on." 

The Script are songwriters of the first order, combining thoughtful, heartfelt lyrics with lush melodies. They still pronounce themselves incredulous that Paul McCartney personally asked The Script to support him at a series of American stadium shows. "That was pretty mad, that he loved our songs, he knew them, came and watched us while we were playing on stage," says Mark. "He said the reason he picked us was our message is very humble and honest. We're not preaching, we invite people into our world, and our experiences, and to relate to us. He felt like we were dealing with important stuff."

There can surely be no higher honor for a songwriter than the imprimatur of a Beatle. But that's where The Script operate, in the highest realms of pop, easily accessible yet artistically, emotionally and spiritually resonant. "I don't see us as anything other than lads from Dublin," admits Mark. "I don't feel like I'm in some big band. We come in and we make really heartfelt music. I get to really express myself in this band. And that's as far as it goes for me. I'm not trying to change the world. I'm not trying to heal anybody. I generally find most of these songs are healing myself because getting them out has certainly helped externalise the feelings. "The End Where I Begin" is such a poignant song for us, from losing parents, that when we play it people ask 'do you feel like your reopening those wounds every night?' Well, yeah, I honestly do. I set myself up for that song, I remind myself why it was written and what it was all about, and then we play it. Yet it's not tough for me at all. I feel justified. I feel like I'm actually sharing something that you all relate to. You have all lost somebody too. You can all understand exactly where this is coming from. And it feels good to do that."

"You know what The Script is?" says Danny. "It's the journey from a feeling of devastation in the pit of my stomach, for me to be able to think about that, put it into words, to be able to sing it, a band to play it, for you to hear it, to go to your brain, to understand it and for you to replicate that same feeling. It's such an amazing thing. You couldn't work it out with a calculator. But that's what we try and do."

"And that's the pay off," says Mark. "The thought of some person somewhere sitting in their apartment putting our music on because they are hurting and we're the soundtrack to that emotion, whatever is going on in their life. That to me is the greatest power of music. And I cannot get over that they might choose our record. Cause I do that. I sit in a room and pick out a song to articulate my feelings. It floors me every time."

Mr. Morgan's Last love Memorable Quotes.

-You were wrong about me, you know?
-Yeah? How? 
-I can think of lots of reasons to stare at you.
-Really. 
-I can think of about ten of them right now off the top of my head.
-Okay. 
-You really want to know? 
-I really want to know. 
-Okay, um... 
       You are beautiful. 
       Obviously you are smart. 
       And I can always tell when you are sad because you hide behind your defiance when your are. 
       When you are happy, all of you is happy. Even you hair. 
       You don't have a mean bone in your body and I thought they did not make them like that anymore.               
      You're funny. 
      When you listen, you look interested. 
      You are kind. 
      And you wear your heart on your sleeve, which can be terribly intimidating. 
     And you remind me of Joan. 

 -It's never too late to learn something. 

 -You know when you love something so much you start to hate it? 
 -Yes. 
  -Is that what happened to you and your books? 
  -I stopped looking at my books when I stopped loving life. 
   -Why did you stop loving life? 
   -Well, you don't love life itself. You love... places, animals, people, memories, food, literature, music. And sometimes you meet someone... who requires all the love you have to give. And if you lose that someone, you think everything else is gonna stop too. But everything else just keeps on going. Giraudoux said, you can miss a single being, even though you are surrounded by countless others. Those people are like extras. They cloud your vision. They are a meaningless crowd. They are an unwelcome distraction. So you seek oblivion in solitude. But solitude only makes you wither. 
-So, I am an unwelcome distraction. I am a cloud? 
-You are the only part of my life I haven't figured out yet.

 -I miss you Mathew... 
 -I miss you too.

The Script - The Man Who Can't Be Moved (HD Music Video)

Going back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move
Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand
Saying, "If you see this girl can you tell her where I am?"

Some try to hand me money, they don't understand
I'm not broke – I'm just a broken-hearted man
I know it makes no sense but what else can I do?
How can I move on when I'm still in love with you?

[Chorus:]
'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'll see me waiting for you on the corner of the street

So I'm not moving, I'm not moving

Policeman says, "Son, you can't stay here."
I said, "There's someone I'm waiting for if it's a day, a month, a year.
Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows.
If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go."

[Chorus]

So I'm not moving, I'm not moving,
I'm not moving, I'm not moving

People talk about the guy that's waiting on a girl
There are no holes in his shoes but a big hole in his world

And maybe I'll get famous as the man who can't be moved
Maybe you won't mean to but you'll see me on the news
And you'll come running to the corner
'Cause you'll know it's just for you
I'm the man who can't be moved
I'm the man who can't be moved

[Chorus 2x]

Going back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag, I'm not gonna move

Economia. Roberto Centeno. Balance de 2013. Hacia la liquidacion.

La pasada semana me despedí de todos ustedes hasta Reyes, pero estas reflexiones no deberían esperar ante las colosales falsedades y el rosario de mentiras del Rey y de Rajoy, que difundidas por los palmeros habituales y amplificadas por una mayoría de medios atados al pesebre, hacen creer a una mayoría que prefieren las falsas esperanzas a la cruda realidad que España es una país en recuperación, cuando la realidad es la contraria: una nación en liquidación, por un Gobierno, una oposición y unas instituciones plagadas de incompetentes, corruptos y traidores. Una oleada de mendacidad y de ignominia creada por las declaraciones de los responsables de la nación. El discurso del Rey Se trata una vez más de un discurso vulgar, lleno de falsedades y promesas vanas, donde a pesar de la situación de emergencia nacional en la que nos encontramos, el número de oyentes del discurso cayó en picado y en más de cuatro millones, lo que da una idea clara no ya de credibilidad, que es inexistente, sino de la indiferencia que producen las palabras del Rey. Es la antítesis de aquel discurso histórico del Rey Jorge VI, pronunciado en 1939, donde superando su tartamudez hizo un encendido llamamiento a la guerra contra la Alemania recurriendo al patriotismo nacional del pueblo británico, para defender su integridad y su libertad. En contraste, este Rey audaz en todo lo que no es su deber, y enfermizo de cobardía ante sus obligaciones políticas, templa gaitas con los enemigos de España que buscan nuestra destrucción diciéndoles que “hablando se entiende la gente”. Este Rey audaz en todo lo que no es su deber, y enfermizo de cobardía ante sus obligaciones políticas, templa gaitas con los enemigos de España que buscan nuestra destrucción diciéndoles que “hablando se entiende la gente” Comentemos con piedad sus párrafos más hilarantes. El Rey, como el Príncipe, siempre dicen lo mismo: “Sé de vuestros problemas”, cuando ignoran todo y no arreglan nada. “Asumo las exigencias de ejemplaridad y transparencia que hoy demanda la sociedad”. ¿Cómo hoy? ¿Es que ayer no? ¿Acaso un Rey no debe ser ejemplar siempre? La ejemplaridad no se predica, Majestad, se practica. El Rey ignora que la base social de un pueblo, una Nación, es alcanzar su unidad como sujeto actor de la Historia. Sin esta base primordial ni siquiera puede hablarse de una Nación y de un Estado como unidad de poder político. El Rey no tiene idea siquiera de estas nociones elementales de la política, sus afirmaciones acreditan tanto su frivolidad como su impotencia, es decir, su cobardía para emplear los medios que la Constitución le otorga para haber liquidado a los terroristas de ETA, primero, y cortado de raíz el humillante avance del separatismo catalán hoy. Hubiera bastado para mover a la indecente clase política colocada en el Estado para enriquecerse, que el Rey la amenazara con su dimisión, un rey no puede presidir jamás, sin degradase como persona y anularse como autoridad, la intensidad y el volumen alcanzados por el separatismo vasco y catalán. A Cataluña ni se atreve ya a llamarla por su nombre, igual que hacen los partidos políticos y sindicatos estatales con el nombre de España, a la que llaman “este país”. ¿Y estos son los representantes de España? ¡Pues vaya indignidad la de quienes les votan! ¿Cómo se puede votar a esta chusma? Continua el discurso real: “Creo en un país libre, justo y unido dentro de su diversidad”. Le faltó lo de benéfico de las Cortes de Cádiz. Los países no son justos ni libres, esas cualidades no corresponden a los países sino a los pueblos. En cuanto a su idea de la unidad como matriz de la diversidad, es simplemente ridícula. Aplicarlo a una nación que no es federal resulta completamente demagógico para abonar el caldo separatista. La idea de todo su discurso parece hacer creer que España, la nación más antigua de Europa, es una nación de naciones, un aglomerado de nacionalidades, regiones, territorios y habitantes autóctonos como los catalanes y los vascos, todo lo cual es radicalmente falso histórica y objetivamente. A Cataluña ni se atreve ya a llamarla por su nombre, igual que hacen los partidos políticos y sindicatos estatales con el nombre de España, a la que llaman “este país”. ¿Y estos son los representantes de España? ¿Cuándo Cataluña o el País Vasco han sido naciones independientes? El Rey parece asumir en su discurso la “idea” de su maestro, el indigente mental Zapatero. “Zapatero sabe perfectamente lo que hace” diría, según lo cual España es algo discutido y discutible. Pero, claro, como hablando se entiende la gente, se llega a donde hemos llegado. Y suma y sigue: “Hay que saber cuándo es preciso ceder”. En cuanto a la unidad de España, la verdad y la moral política, nunca. Esas palabras son propias de un mercachifle, jamás de un gobernante, sino no es capaz de sostener lo irrenunciable con palabras que lo haga con las bayonetas o que se vaya. Dice que no piensa abdicar para “continuar el desempeño fiel del mandato y las competencias que me atribuye el orden constitucional”. En primer lugar, no hay orden constitucional ninguno. Si lo hubiera, se respetaría la norma del mandato imperativo prohibiendo a los diputados obedecer órdenes de nadie, ni siquiera de su propio partido. España sería un Estado de Derecho y no un país sin ley. Segundo, la única competencia que le atribuye el desorden constitucional nunca la ha ejercido, ni la ejerce, ni ejercerá, pues a la vista está hasta donde ha llegado la connivencia del Rey con la tolerancia de los partidos con el separatismo, y con la oligarquía financiera con el robo masivo a los ciudadanos. Finalmente, es inaceptable que el Rey adopte el leguaje separatista hablando de sensibilidades distintas dentro del pueblo español para separar a unos regiones de otras. Porque entonces, ¿dónde está la sensibilidad española? ¡Qué bien están los reyes en el exilio! El discurso de Rajoy Cuando Rajoy estaba en la oposición, era el único político capaz de hablar durante horas sin decir nada útil. Ahora en el Gobierno puede hablar durante horas sin decir una sola verdad. El discurso de Rajoy es el de los brotes verdes. Juan Laborda resumía la situación así hace un par de semanas: “Tras el repunte de final 2010 el consenso del mercado era un crecimiento del 1,8% para 2011. Acertaron de pleno solo que con signo negativo. La situación hoy es objetivamente peor que la de finales 2010”; estamos no ante una recuperación, sino ante una nueva recesión. Cuando Rajoy estaba en la oposición, era el único político capaz de hablar durante horas sin decir nada útil. Ahora en el Gobierno puede hablar durante horas sin decir una sola verdad ¿Por qué la situación es objetivamente peor? Vayamos a los números: afiliados a la Seguridad Social, 1,5 millones menos. ¿Por qué, señora vicepresidenta de todo, no tiene usted la decencia y la vergüenza torera de mostrar a los españoles los gráficos que expuso hace un par de meses a los inversores internacionales, según los cuales las pensiones bajarían un 18% en los próximos tres años? Paro, 1,4 millones más, pero Guindos ya tiene la solución. En 2014 bajaran las contraprestaciones por desempleo y se reducirá el tiempo de percepción porque, según este miserable, los parados no buscan empleo hasta que termina la prestación. Deuda, la total o pasivos en circulación, 450.000 millones más; la computable, 310.000 millones más, algo imposible de devolver. Y lo verdaderamente malvado, el grado de dolor y sufrimiento que están infligiendo a cada vez más españoles. Quiero contarles un ejemplo que he vivido personalmente, y que demuestra más allá de cualquier cifra a dónde nos ha llevado la crueldad de este Gobierno de canallas. Poco antes de Navidad, mi mujer y yo fuimos a llevar dinero y comida a una sede de Cáritas en un barrio periférico de Madrid, algo que hacemos periódicamente. Al salir y como siempre, había una larga cola de personas esperando ayuda. Pasamos al lado de un padre con aspecto derrotado por la vida y un niño de unos cinco años de la mano. Justo al pasar el niño le pregunta al padre: “Papá, ¿crees que podré comer hoy?”. Si les digo que se me heló el corazón ni siquiera me acerco a lo que sentí en ese momento, me agaché y le di cien euros al niño. “Hoy y mañana seguro que comerás” le dije. Al padre se le saltaban las lágrimas, a mí me invadió una ira incontrolable contra los responsables de esta canallada. Algunos dicen que no tengo respeto por estos miserables, que no se puede insultar a las autoridades, y es cierto tiene que ser procesados y pagar por el infinito dolor que están produciendo, pero de esto hablaremos y mucho. De momento el despiadado Rajoy ha congelado el salario mínimo. The Economist situaba recientemente a España entre los países con más posibilidades de que se produzca un estallido social. Espero que acierten de pleno y se lleven por delante a todos estos canallas. Hablaré de las cifras 2013 cuando tenga los datos, pero los últimos conocidos muestran una caída clara de la economía. La producción industrial está cayendo desde septiembre, los datos en tasa anual son un ¡9,8% inferiores a los del año anterior! Y la cifra de negocios del sector servicios ha caído un 7,8% en el tercer trimestre del año anterior, y para colmo la aportación positiva del sector exterior ha desaparecido. ¿De dónde sacan Rajoy y sus secuaces desde el BdE al BBVA, pasando por los palmeros y medios atados al pesebre, que 2014 será el año de la recuperación? No habrá recuperación alguna en 2014 ni en 2015, solo profundización en la pobreza y en la liquidación de España. P.D./ Según los datos publicados hoy, el incremento de la deuda pública en circulación ha sido de 128.000 millones de euros en los doce meses anteriores a noviembre, más del doble que en el mismo período del año anterior. Esto significa un déficit de financiación pública del 12% del PIB.

The Four Agreements. Selected Quotes VII

-Practice makes the master.
-Action is what makes the difference.
-You have to stand up and be a human. You have to honor the man or woman that you are. Respect your body, enjoy your body, love your body, feed, clean and heal your body. Exercise and do what makes your body feel good. This is a puja to your body and that is a communion between you and God.
-Your own body is a manifestation of God and if you honor your body everything will change for you. Then every action becomes a ritual.
-If you are impeccable with your word, if you don´t take anything personally, if you don´t make assumptions, if you always do your best, then you are going to have a beautiful life. You are going to control your life one hundred per cent.
-You must have a very strong will to keep these agreements because wherever we go we find that our path is full of obstacles. That´s why you need to be a great hunter, a great warrior who can defend  these Four Agreements with your life.
-I have fallen many times but I stood up and kept going. And I fell again and I kept going. I did not feel sorry for myself. I said: if I fall, I am strong enough, I am intelligent enough, I can do it. I stood up and kept going. I fell and I kept going and going and each time it became easier and easier. Yet, in the beginning it was so hard, so difficult. So if you fall, don´t judge. Do no give your Judge the satisfaction of turning you into a victim. No, be tough with yourself.
-If you break an agreement, begin again tomorrow, and again the next day. It will be difficult at first, but each day will be easier and easier until someday you will discover that your are ruling your life with these Four Agreements. And you will be surprised at the way your life has been transformed.

The Four Agreements. Selected Quotes VI

-Action is about living fully. Inaction is the way that we deny life. Taking action is being alive. It's taking the risk to go out and express your dream.
-I make everything a ritual. Taking a shower is a ritual for me and with that action I tell my body how much I love it. I feel and I enjoy the water on my body. I do my best to fulfill the needs of my body. I do my best to give to my body and to receive what my body gives to me. What it is important is the way we perform the ritual saying I love you God.
-God is life. God is life in action. The best way to say I love you God is to live your life doing your best. The best way to say Thank you God is by letting go of the past and living in the present moment, right here and now. Whatever life takes away from you, let it go. When you surrender and let go of the past, you allow yourself to be fully alive in the moment. Letting go of the past means you can enjoy the dream that is happening right now.
-There is no time to miss anyone or anything because you are alive. Not enjoying what is happening right now is living in the past and being only half alive. This leads to self-pity, suffering and tears.
-You were born with the right to be happy. You were born with the right to love, to enjoy and to share your love. You are alive so take your life and enjoy it. Don't resist life passing through you because that is God passing through you. Just your existence proves the existence of God. Your existence proves the existence of life and energy.

Pulitzer Prize for Photography

The Pulitzer Prize for Photography was one of the American Pulitzer Prizes annually awarded for journalism. It was inaugurated in 1942 and replaced by two photojournalism prizes in 1968: the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography and "Pulitzer Prize for Spot News Photography". The latter was renamed for Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Photography in 2000.

The Pulitzer Prizes were established by the bequest of Joseph Pulitzer, which suggested four journalism awards, and were inaugurated beginning 1917. By 1942 there were eight Pulitzers for journalism; for several years now there have been 14 including the two for photojournalism.

The Four Agreements Selected Quotes V

-What really make the difference is action.
-Under any circumstance, always do your best, no more no less.
-Everything is alive and changing all the time, so your best will sometimes be high quality, and other times it ill not be as good.
-Your best will depend on whether you are feeling wonderful and happy, or upset, angry or jealous.
-If you do your best there is no way you can judge yourself.
-Doing your best is taking the action because you love it, not because you are expecting a reward. Most people do exactly the opposite: they only take action when they expect a reward, and they don't enjoy the action. And that's the reason why they don't do their best. They are working for the reward, and as a result they resist work.
-On the other hand, if you take action just for the sake of doing it, without expecting a reward, you will find that you enjoy every action you do. Rewards will come, but you are not attached to the reward. You can even get more than you would have imagined four yourself without expecting a reward. If we like what we do, if we always do our best, then we are really enjoying life. We are having fun, we don't get bored, we don't have frustrations.

The Four Agreements Selected Quotes IV

-When we really see other people as they are without taking it personally, we can never be hurt by what they say or do.
-If others say one thing, but do another, you are lying to yourself if you don't listen to their actions.
-Telling yourself the truth about it my hurt, but you don't need to be attached to the pain.
-If someone is not treating you with love and respect, it is a gift if they walk away from you.
-When you don't take the emotional poison, it becomes even worse in the sender, but not in you.
-You will only trust yourself to make responsible choices.
-You can choose to follow your heart always.
-The problem with making assumptions is that we believe they are the truth.
-It is always better to ask questions than to make an assumption, because assumptions set up us for suffering.
-If others change is because they want to change, not because you can change them.
-Real love is accepting other people the way they are without trying to change them. If we try to change them, this means we don't really like them.
-We have to be what we are, so we don't have to present a false image.
-The way to keep myself from making assumptions is to ask questions.

The Four Agreements, selected quotes III

-Your opinion is nothing but your point of view. It is not necessarily true. Your opinion comes from your beliefs, your own ego, and your own dream.
-Impeccability of the word will also give you immunity from anyone putting a negative spell on you.
-How much you love yourself and how you feel about yourself are directly proportionate to the quality and integrity of your word.
-What causes to be trapped is what we call personal importance which is the maximum expression of selfishness because we make the assumption that everything is about me.
-Nothing other people do is because of you. It is because of themselves.
-When we take something personally , we make the assumption that they know what is in our world and we try to impose our world on their world.
-Even when a situation seems so personal, even if others insult you directly, it has nothing to do with you. What they say, what they do and the opinions they give are according to the agreements they have in their own minds. Their point of view comes from all the programming they received during domestication.
-Taking things personally makes you easy prey for the black magicians. If you do so, you eat all their emotional garbage and now it becomes your garbage. But if you don't take it personally, you are immune in the middle of hell.
-When you take things personally, then you feel offended and your reaction is to defend your beliefs and create conflicts.
-There is no way that I can take this personally. Not because I don't believe in you or don't trust you, but because I know that you see the world with different eyes, with you eyes.
-Your point of view is something personal to you. It is no one's truth but yours. Then if you get mad at me, I know you are dealing with yourself. I am the excuse for you to get mad. And you get mad because you are afraid, because you are dealing with fear. If you are not afraid there is no way you'll get mad at me.
-When you feel good, everything around you is good. When everything around you is great, everything makes you happy. You are loving everything that is around you, because you are loving yourself.
-Even the opinions you have about yourself are not necessarily true. Therefore, you don't need to take whatever you hear in your own mind personally.
-You have to trust yourself and choose to believe or not to believe what someone says to you.

 

The Four Agreements selected quotes II

-Be impeccable with your word.
-What you dream, what you feel, and what you really are, will all be manifested through the word.
-The word is the most powerful tool you have as a human. It is the tool of magic.
-We cast spells all the time with our opinions.
-Impeccability means without sin. A sin is anything that you do which goes against yourself. Everything you feel or believe or say that goes against yourself is a sin. You go against yourself when you judge or blame yourself for anything. Being impeccable is not going against yourself.
-When you are impeccable you take responsibility for your actions, but you do not judge or blame yourself.
-Misery likes company.
-Gossip is black magic at its very worst because it is pure poison.

The Four Agreements selected quotes I

-I am made of light, I am made of stars.
-The real us is pure love, pure light.
-Everyone is a mirror.
-The process of domestication: children believe everything adults say. We agree with them, and our faith is so strong that the belief system controls our whole dream of life. We did not choose these beliefs, and we may have rebelled against them, but we were not strong enough to win the rebellion. The result is surrender to the beliefs with our agreement. We train our children whom we love so much the same way that we train any domesticated animal: with a system of punishment and reward. The reward feels good, and we keep doing what others want us to do in order to get the reward. With that fear of being punished and that fear of not getting the reward, we start pretending to be what we are not, just to please others, just to be good enough for someone else.
-How many times do we make our spouse, our children, or our parents pay for the same mistake? Every time we remember the mistake, we blame them and send them all the emotional poison we feel at the injustice , and then we make them pay again for the same mistake. Is that justice?
-Ninety five percent of the beliefs we have stored in our minds are nothing but lie, and we suffer because we believe all these lies.
-We have the need to be right and to make others wrong.
-To be alive is the biggest fear humans have. Death is not the biggest fear we have. Our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive. We have learned to live by other people's points of view because of the fear of not being accepted and of not being good enough for someone else.
-We dishonor ourselves just to please other people.
-The more self-love we have, the less we will experience self-abuse.
-The most important agreements are the ones you made with yourself

Intoxicaciones que pueden ser mortales.

¿Qué tipo de alimentos podrían causar una reacción tan grave y tan inminente? Como explica María Casadevall, de la Asociación Española de Dietistas-Nutricionistas (AEDN), "aquellos que tienen una bacteria concreta, Clostridium botulinum, capaz de fabricar una toxina que puede causar la muerte de personas en pocas horas". Cabe señalar, agrega, que esta bacteria "sólo puede crecer en condiciones muy concretas, en ausencia de oxígeno, una condición que se asocia a latas de conservas industriales (golpeadas, perforadas...), conservas o embutido de fabricación doméstica". Basta con que entre oxígeno para que se produzca el crecimiento de la bacteria. "Existe más riesgo de que ocurra en casa, por eso hay que ser muy estrictos con las conservas domésticas". Primero, calentar el recipiente a 100 grados durante unos 15 minutos. Después, introducir el alimento, cerrarlo muy bien y calentarlo al baño maría otros 15 minutos, al menos".

En este tipo de intoxicación "aparecen náuseas, vómitos, cansancio, vértigo y acabaría provocando una parálisis respiratoria que terminaría con la muerte del individuo", señala Casadevall. "Esta toxina disminuye la capacidad ventilatoria con mucha rapidez y afecta al sistema simpático y parasimpático".

Ben Howard - Black Flies (Lyrics)

Harvey Milk

Go after her. Fuck, don’t sit there and wait for her to call, go after her because that’s what you should do if you love someone, don’t wait for them to give you a sign cause it might never come, don’t let people happen to you, don’t let me happen to you, or her, she’s not a fucking television show or tornado. There are people I might have loved had they gotten on the airplane or run down the street after me or called me up drunk at four in the morning because they need to tell me right now and because they cannot regret this and I always thought I’d be the only one doing crazy things for people who would never give enough of a fuck to do it back or to act like idiots or be entirely vulnerable and honest and making someone fall in love with you is easy and flying 3000 miles on four days notice because you can’t just sit there and do nothing and breathe into telephones is not everyone’s idea of love but it is the way I can recognize it because that is what I do. Go scream it and be with her in meaningful ways because that is beautiful and that is generous and that is what loving someone is, that is raw and that is unguarded, and that is all that is worth anything, really.

Sons Of Anarchy Season 6 Finale (End Song) - Noah Gundersen & The Forest...

Take it back
I would take it back
for just another minute
just another chance with you

Give it up
I would give everything up 
Every last breath 
every first taste for you
Just to make it all right
just to make it all right

But it's too late 
to go back 
I can see the darkness
through the cracks

Daylight fading 
I curse the breaking 
The day is gone 
the day is gone

Run away
I'll just run away
like a child 
from all of them to you
 
And now I see 
my most constant mistake 
is I don't know what I love till it's gone

But it's too late 
to go back 
I can see the darkness 
through the cracks

Daylight fading 
I curse the breaking 
The day is gone 
the day is gone

It's too late
to go back 
I let the darkness
seep through the cracks

Love is bleeding
I curse my breathing
The day is gone
the day is gone

Allstate Good Life Anthem

Lana Del Rey - Summertime Sadness

Invictus - Willian Ernest Henley

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance...
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Passenger - Let Her Go [Official Video]

Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you’re missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go

Staring at the bottom of your glass
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
But dreams come slow and they go so fast

You see her when you close your eyes
Maybe one day you'll understand why
Everything you touch surely dies

But you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go

Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Same old empty feeling in your heart
'Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast

Well you see her when you fall asleep
But never to touch and never to keep
'Cause you loved her too much
And you dived too deep

Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go

And you let her go (oh, oh, ooh, oh no)
And you let her go (oh, oh, ooh, oh no)
Will you let her go?

'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go

'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go

And you let her go

Quotes on mental toughness

 “Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.” –Unknown
 “Me personally, I believe that it’s only pain if you acknowledge it. If someone sees it as pain, I like to describe it as something that is unusual, out of place, or uncomfortable.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” –Theodore Roosevelt
