the price of "actions"

it's taken a while for me
to fully comprehend the meaning of "cause and effect"
yeah. actions, not auctions (go to ebay if that's what you want hehe)
there comes a point when
you earn enough unvaluable experience
and you lay down. to think things a little.
in retrospective mode.
analyze. and summarize.
and to make conclusions based on your own livings
i emphatize
because life ain't life until you taste a little bit of everything
and i've noticed how important is
to give. and to act. with good purpouses.
goodwill.
because once you turn on the 'i'm bad' switch
it will come back to you.
backlash.
karma.

what you do on earth, is not for free.
every step you take has an impact.
and sometimes consequences can bitchslap you.
right down.
what you do here. you will pay here.
you can either enjoy a bittersweet simphony ot cry.
with a sour taste in your lips.
and believe me, i've seen. and tasted the best of both worlds.
peace out.
and behave babes.

Becks, y el Madrid.

"Cada día estoy más convencido de que, futbolísticamente, Beckham se arrepiente de haberse ido a Los Angeles Galaxy. Tomó una decisión precipitada en enero cuando decidió marcharse, pero lo hizo porque, en ese momento, Capello le había faltado el respeto apartándole de lo que más le gusta: jugar al fútbol. Y al final de la temporada lloró en el vestuario sabiendo que nunca más volvería a jugar en el Bernabéu. En el equipo de Schuster hubiera sido titular y al alemán le hubiera encantado trabajar con él. Si estuviera aquí, seguro que no estaba lesionado. Pero las hipótesis no sirven. Ya es tarde. Me consta que sigue los partidos de los blancos, que se ha divertido con los dos encuentros de Liga y que daría parte de su sueldo por compartir un partido con el nuevo Madrid."

Un misil al submarino :)

Bah. El partido de hoy fue simplemente el deprave.

El Real Madrid demolio al Villarreal en su propio estadio, habiendole este ganado al Valencia 3-0 en el inicio liguero. Arrechisimo. Ya van 2 pruebas dificiles, dos pruebas superadas, y pintando mucho mejor ke la temporada pasada.

Guti y Sneijder se estan conectando de maravilla. Van Nistelrooy volvio al gol. Raulito moja por segunda vez consecutiva y el Madrid sale ofensivamente y victorioso en un escenario tan dificil como es el Madrigal. Morite Schuster, me estas demostrando lo ke vales :)

La defensa se cerraba muy bien, y me esta gustando muchisimo Metzelder. Casillas no se vio exigido y el gol de falta del nuevo '23' fue totalmente arrechisimo, y con la pierna 'mala' ademas!

Jugador del partido: Wesley Sneijder. Se salio. Anoto por partida doble, repartio futbol y es simplemente un fenomeno.

Mencion especial: Raul de nuevo. Anota por 2nda vez consecutiva y esta totalmente dedicado al ataque. Como siempre ha sido, y siempre debio ser.

La sopresa: Cristoph Metzelder. Cuidado Pepe...

some things i have in mind.

to do is like.
review cds i recently listen to.
post entries about events i attend to.

wathever.

Antonio Puerta

clipped from www.marca.com

EL SEVILLISTA NO SUPERÓ SU ESTADO "MUY CRÍTICO"

Fallece Puerta

Antonio Puerta no pudo superar su delicado estado de salud y falleció en el Hospital Vírgen del Rocío de Sevilla. El joven futbolista del Sevilla, de 22 años de edad, estaba ingresado desde el pasado sábado cuando se desvaneció en pleno partido ante el Getafe en el Sánchez Pizjuán.

Pues si, un gran jugador de futbol que se va. Antonio Puerta tenia solo 22 a#os y su carrera futbolistica apenas estaba tomando vuelo. Habil jugador por la banda izquierda, rapido y una amenaza constante para cualquier defensa. No solo tenia habilidad para jugar de extremo sino que tambien poseia olfato de cara al gol. Su gol contra el Schalke 04 le abrio las puertas al Sevilla a su primer titulo europeo. Luis Aragones ya empezaba a contar con el y los grandes de europa empezaban a ponerle el ojo... y se va. Asi de rapido se pueden escapar sue#os, aspiraciones e historias; en un simple segundo. Era el minuto 31 de un partido de futbol entre el Sevilla y el Getafe cuando el #16 del Sevilla cae al suelo. Era el preludio de una muerte inminente.

2 dias estuvo Antonio luchando contra la muerte en un hospital, pero no fue suficiente. Espero que este ahora acompa#ando a los grandes como Best y Puzkas, como un verdadero campeon.

Hasta siempre Antonio, como madridista, reconozco que tenias un enorme talento, y espere algun dia verte jugar en el Bernabeu, aunque tu corazon era Sevillista por siempre.

PD: No es la primera vez que pasa en el mundo del futbol, y no sera la ultima. Y la tristeza que esto provoca es horrible.

El Madrid gana, y gusta.

Despues de un buen debut contra el Atletico de Madrid, puedo decir que me siento tranquilo. Y digo que me siento tranquilo porque tenia muchas dudas acerca del equipo pero he visto que han respondido acorde con la situacion.

Esto sin contar que llegaron Robben y Heinze, lo que supone mas calidad para una plantilla que sufria por la banda izquierda.

Mencion especial: Raul. Fenomeno papi. Siempre estas ahi cuando debes estar y marcas cuando el Madrid mas te necesita, por eso es que los otros clubes te odian, pero nosotros te amamos.

Jugador del partido: Sergio Ramos. Por lejos el mejor. Mucha entrega, mucha garra, mucho Sergio.

los pies de un fenomeno.

y no hay mucho mas ke agregar. grande por siempre.

don Fabio Capello

Indudablemente, siempre ke pienso ke el Madrid se ha ekivocado de todas las formas posibles, me enseña una nueva; o al menos, aparentemente. El 27 de junio del 2007 se le ha destituido del cargo de director tecnico del Real Madrid, habiendolo llevado a su primer titulo de liga desde el 2003.

Y si, un equipo como el Real Madrid acostumbrado a complacer a sus fanaticos de todas las formas posibles, en esta etapa 2003-2007 ha contratado a un total de 5 tecnicos, y unos cuantos presidentes, fracasando uno tras otro, y convirtiendo al club en objeto de burlas y del ridiculo de los contrarios. Hasta que llego este mister, conocido mundialmente por ser un entrenador ganador y apegado a su idea futbolistica.

En un año se le acuso de amarrete, egoista, engreido, etc. Y tuvo ke aguantar cualkier tipo de humillaciones... y ahi se mantuvo, firme. "De muy mala leche" cayo eliminado de la UEFA Champions League a manos del Bayern Munich, y al final de temporada consiguio lo ke parecia imposible para el Real Madrid ultimamente, el titulo de campeon de Liga.

Cual fue su recompensa? La destitucion. Bueh... Al parecer se es muy malo cuando se pierde y no tan bueno cuando se gana. Se le acusa de tener un juego conservador y racano, pero al menos yo, como espectador vivi uno de los mejores finales de Liga en los ultimos tiempos, con un Madrid que nunca bajo la cabeza y peleo hasta el ultimo minuto (y si ke fue hasta el ultimo minuto).

Bernd Schuster, un entrenador que mostro buenas maneras con el Levante y Getafe es el principal candidato suceder a Don Fabio en el puesto. Y si se sigue el mismo guion de de siempre, entrenador nuevo: mucho tiempo de adaptacion y pruebas. No es esto lo que el Madrid necesitaba despues de un año tan turbulento como el pasado y habiendose por fin encontrado el espiritu de equipo ideal, o al menos yo lo veo asi.

Muchisimas gracias Fabio, demostraste de lo ke estas hecho, y nos diste una alegria inmensa, bastante escasa estos ultimos años.

Y en cuanto a Schuster, buena suerte, y mira la responsabilidad ke cae en tus manos. Ahi estare yo al menos, de acuerdo o no, apoyando al Madrid.

campeeeeoooones. campeeeeoooones. ole ole ole!

Vaya temporada! Pudiera escribir tanto. Tantas emociones. Tantos disgustos. Tantas alegrias. Tanta sorpresa. Que se lo dejare a las fotos. Hala Madrid!

the so called "new chapters"

once a new day comes,
it has different meanings for different people.
some expect great things
some are counting the hours for it to end.
when you've gone through things that left you broken,
you anxiously wait for the day when it all changes.

"the start of something new"; as some people call it.

the phrase itself may sound a bit over-used
because even the most bizarre person can tell
that there's a light at the end of the tunnel.

and yeah, after all.. "it's surprisingly true"

but it may be subjective at times aswell.
some may disagree
but the meaning of it may vary,
depending on the way you see it.

eventhough you've gone through a lot of stuff
pain, suffering, deception, sadness... younameit*,
it doesn't necessarily has to be considered as 'a bad thing'.

it's true you feel like shit at certain points,
but you still learn a thing or two
that will help you run smoother in the future.

the so called "experience and wiseness".

in the end, i think it's a huge part of what life is about.
you live, you love, you hate.. you learn.
i may not be the best examble of a wise person but.
when you think about it
it doesn't hurt at all to take a look of things from different angles.
it maybe will. make you feel better.
and stronger.

there she goes again.

to whom it may concern.you know who you are
i guess there're very few people that would associate themselves to these lines.
lines that i write from the bottom of my heart.

hate? not this time.
no grudges hold.
you come and go, in every single form of life.
you once were air... air that made me live.
made me breathe.
you once were words... words that made me cry.
made me fly.
this time, you're memories... memories that make me wonder.
make me think.

they make me think how could it be
how could this happen.
this is not a drama act, nor a theatre night. just for you to know.
i know i am a known douche bag.
a mistake collector.
but are the mistakes the bottom line?
i think this time it's both our fault, and no one's fault at the same time.

tricky. isn't it?
but things...
things just happened way wrong.
time went just too fast.
minds got confused much too long.

you know what you did, and what you did not.
and i surely know where i fucked up.
as a song goes: "i don't blame you, for being you. but you can't blame me for hating it"
i guess it applies, for both of us.

in the end it all goes back to where it started
time passes by
and this time, seems to repeat itself.
just with unforgettable memories sticked in.

which came first?
love or misery?

what i did for you, i did for no one. ever.
what you meant to me, no one ever could reach that.
and as you start walking away.
i can do nothing else than just. watch you.
like i've always been supposed to.

thanks for everything, miss delirious.

lines dropping out

talking to myself
and nobody's home
these days i am my closest friend
just trying to realize what's been of me

watching a "sadness meets deception" movie
tried to figure out if what you say is what you mean
or if what you do is what is meant to be my everyday
but i know different. now i know better.

maybe giving your all is what leaves you so empty
maybe your smile was the missing number
to my collision rollercoaster ride.
i'm crashing. but i'm no fucking wave.

some say the winner laughs last
but. is a smile the prime trophy?
seems like the full meaning of feeling on the top of the world
is that the fall will hurt a whole lotta more.

it's funny how easy you can lose what seems to be "your air"
experience sometimes teaches you to wait for your award
but with no accepting speech.

acted like a foreigner
as you welcomed me to a town called hipocrecy.
what goes around comes around
and what happens is for the better. or so geeks say.

i gave my share.
i played my part. and maybe more.
good luck and. thanks for the memories.
no grudges hold. do you deserve that?

so, Becks signed for LA Galaxy

First of all, I gotta say... crazy business this. Fair play to Becks tho. Reported $200 mil over 5 years swayed his choice, considering both Milan clubs were interested.

He is worth it IMO. He'll do wonders for the MLS promotion. He has worked hard over the last 15 years to be a top professional and think this kind of move is good for him. He no doubt sees himself as some sort of ambassador for British football. Maybe he thinks he can do what Best and Pele did in the US and help improve the league there.

Media I believe was one of the major factors in moving to the US. No doubt he can still do a job but he will be more protected in the US. Plus his youth academy is right next door to the LA Galaxy stadium I believe.

Fantastic player irrespective of what people say. Steve McLaren was a fool to drop him completely from the England setup. Model professional and an icon for any youngster wanting to develop.

If he were still involved with the England squad though, even if only on the fringes, I doubt his move to Galaxy would've happened (at least not so soon - he was always going to sign for them eventually).

I feel he's taken the easy option and has given up on representing his country again. He's not going to be anywhere near as challenged in the MLS as he would be playing in Europe. Effectively it's an early retirement for Beckham.

A shame really, as I feel he still has so much to offer. I just hope he doesn't let his foot off the gas as he's one of the hardest working footballers I've seen.

Under McLaren he would never have played for England again. How can people doubt his dedication to play for his country is beyond me. He was almost in tears when he gave up his captaincy. It was a slap in the face for him to be dropped from the England setup and he was used as a scape goat for Englands poor WC performance when, in my humble opinion; there were far more players that underperformed in the WC and walked away scot free.

He will raise the game in America and bring attention to a sport loving nation. I doubt very much that Beckham is a quitter. He has never gave that impression and no doubt he spoke to McLaren and those involved in the England setup before making his choice.

Selected people and media alike treated him like shit during his career in England and also when he left for Spain. I for one don't blame him for moving away to a country were he will gain the respect that he truely deserves.

David Beckham is a family man, you have people on the news saying he has went because of Posh, maybe... But so fucking what?. She is his wife and Mother to his 3 children, she has a right to have an opinion on where she wants to live. Plus the fact he is earning a fortune.

The Beckhams do a fantastic amount for charity and other than IMO fabrication from that stupid cow Loos they seem a very strong couple. I say good luck to them and I wish them every success imaginable.

And yeah... I'm sad, I'll miss him so much. Because David Beckham was my ultimate favorite player ever, and I mean EVER. Before he married Posh, before the entire world knew his name... I followed him. And you can ask anyone who knows me. I cried, screamed, enjoyed, and lived up every single minute he was out there on the pitch, be it Wembley, be it Old Trafford, be it Santiago Bernabeu, be it elsewhere, and I will continue doing so, shame just not at pro level.

"Look around, look around,

Spot the man that can be found,

Open up your eyes and see,

It's David Beckham that we've come to see.

Turn around, turn around,

Scoring at every ground,

Oh, what a sight to see,

See Fergie's face lighting up with glee.

There's a light, shining bright,

And he plays in red and white,

So young lad, don't be sad.

Just play well, on the night,

Unlike the boys in Kappa shite,

And we'll win the league again..."

Thanks for everything David.
