Transparent


by Sentimiento Muerto

Mirando sombras en la pared
Gritado por su encierro
Todo es, alguna vez, los ecos
Lagrima que corta el vidrio en dos
Se lleva en ella un mar
De sentimientos; los ecos

Looking at shadows on the wall
From their confinement, shouting
Everything is, sometimes, the echoes
Tear that cuts the glass in two
It carries with it a sea
of feelings; the echoes

Mirada resquebrajada
Hay un vacio frente al espejo
Soy transparente, no me veo,
Soy transparente, no me encuentro

Broken glance
there is a void in front of the mirror
I am transparent, I dont see myself
I am transparent, I do not find myself

Al fondo se ve un murmullo
Que que flota entre vapores de bano
Y notas, que le huyen al sol

In the backround a whisper is seen
Floating among bath steam
And music notes that flee from the sun

Lagrima que corta el vidrio en dos
Latigo rompe el silencio, rompe con el

Tear that cuts the glass in two
Whiplash breaks the silence, brakes away

Mirada resquebrajada
Hay un vacio frente al espejo
Soy transparente, no me veo,
Soy transparente, no me encuentro

Broken glance
there is a void in front of the mirror
I am transparent, I dont see myself
I am transparent, I do not find myself

Al fondo se ve un murmullo
Que que flota entre vapores de bano
Y notas, que le huyen al sol

In the backround a whisper is seen
Floating among bath steam
And music notes that flee from the sun

No me veo, no me encuentro

I do not see myself, I do not find myself

Unfortunately the band no longer exists, since it is among my all time favorite South American bands. It was perhaps the top rock band in Venezuela for a number of years... over there rock is considered "alternative" music, since the locals listen mostly to "merengue", "salsa", and other "tropical" music, as it is known in southern South America.

Carless

My New Year's resolution: to give up my car. I will donate it to a charity, and bike, walk, or bus to wherever I need to go. The advantages: helping the environment, saving money, improving my health by exercising more, and perhaps most importantly, find out if I have enough self-discipline to do it. Disadvantages: increased travel-time and reduced mobility. No late-night social events. Innability to give my friends rides, no large-bulk cargo hauling ability. My last attempt lasted two weeks. I am determined to make this second try last longer. P.S.: This isn't entirely an intellectual decision. I have never liked this car, even though I've owned less appealing vehicles in the past, I just could never entirely befriend this one. Sorry, car. I guess that makes it in part an emotional decision.

Way back when, at the turn of the millenium, I was part of a big family called Genuity. As in all families, there were disagreements, triumphs, bitter fights, great friendships, and the bond of common goals and struggles. It was in a way, a coming of age, a rite of passage at a critical time. Though for me it only lasted three years, it seemed like much longer -they were after all, not regular years, but internet years, and events that would normally develop over months, took only weeks. We were all still riding the internet boom, and things happened fast. Not surprisingly, they also ended fast. The much anticipated crash was finally beginning to happen. Then came the coup de grace on 9/11. Three rounds of lay-offs later, there was no longer a "u" in Genuity, as the joke went -and a pink slip was my inspiration to migrate westward. A few months after that, Genuity was little more than a billion-dollar garage sale. It is amazing how quickly time erodes the past. Today, while ...

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

I find that knowing my own and other people's personality types can be helpful to understand behavior and motivation, and therefore help find the logic in apparently confusing or contradictory behavior. This tool can then help counteract the classical mistake of assuming that behavior in others is caused by the same motivations or understanding of the world as one's own.
