Far beyond the reaches of the shadows:.

Today was my grandmother's birthday and we celebrated having a family meal, a really good meal by the way. My gift to her was a Chet Baker's compound, and she really liked it!. Continuing with this jazz mood, yesterday I went to have dinner with my brother and his girlfriend to a little jazz bar, and I was very pleased with it...great music, good food and near to my grandparents' house, what a terrific combination!!:.

Tomorrow I'll rock my mother's day with my gift to her, the Manzanero - Big Band Jazz de México album. I listened to it at Mixup the other day and it made me change my original decision, a Flamenco album. I really hope she likes it:.

So say I walk alone, barefoot
on wicked stone tonight
Will you leap to follow?

Kiss those days goodbye:.

This week hasn't been as productive as I hoped. I blame it on traffic, it's insane to spend more than four hours a day stuck in Periferico!!. And not only that but also the fact that once you get to your destination you're in such a bad mood that you're not eager to do anything mind-consuming for a while. At least I'm not required to do anything complex at work, just to write some documents and nonsenses like that, not real work like fighting against the world with the latest specification at your side!!:.but soon enough I'll be doing that myself:.

Even if I've changed, that's alright
Can I be healed?
Be healed.

De estación a estación:.

Almost four hours lost in traffic, it's insane!!. But not everything is lost, it gets me a chance to think on personal matters and also to listen to good music, sometimes played by the bus driver, others by the loyal Zen. For instance, today I gave another chance to the Oreja de Van Gogh's last album, and on second thoughts it's really good. It's meant to be played traveling across the Periferico on a Wednesday night, give it a try:.

Visca Barcelona!!:...Visca la mare que els va parir!!:..encara hi ha esperança:.

Si fuera especial, si fuera de revista
Tendría el valor de cruzar el vagón
Y preguntarte quién eres.

Have I lost my faith in you?:.

I shouldn't have doubted the Head First approach for today my eyes were opened again!!. Physics concepts are getting into my head, and this time I think I know what's going on there, not just some rules or formulas, but a good explanation of why things act the way they do.

I know these concepts don't apply to all sorts of situations, and that there are still things that we don't know for sure, but I really like that feeling of getting to understand something that a moment before seemed like a puzzle, I always say that it makes me feel there's still hope!!:.

I still believe that change can happen
Though it's hard and it happens slowly
I still believe forgiveness comes with love.

The Music:.

One of the best songs I've heard in a long time:..

Gonna use my arms:.

Man, I've been eating a lot, for real!!:..I better start doing something like walking or something of the like or else I won't fit on my old suits. There's just so many good things here that I can't resist, not that I really try though =):..

Tomorrow will be laundry-day for me. Long time no see you, washing machine, we've had our differences in the past, but I really hope we can get along this time!!:.

Got bottle, I'm gonna use it
Intention, I feel inventive

Can't say why I kept this from you:.

I have to admit that I've never been good at Physics, and this time, even with the Head First approach, I keep thinking of some concepts as dull and not particularly designed to be used outside some specific kind of problems, but maybe I just need to focus a little bit more, I'll keep trying!!:.

Here at the Estado de México the paranoia is not as high as in Mexico City, and yesterday we even went to get some ice cream, some delicious esquites and enjoy an evening right in the city center. I really like it around here:.

Visca Barcelona!!:..but the real challenge will be next Wednesday on London, that's where the real path to glory is:.

I know, what I know,
I know this last time around
I'll hear it in my head real low
