A joke

The feet are complaining to the penis, saying they're always locked on the shoes and socks, always walking or at least in contact with the ground, their lives so miserable.

The penis answers:

- At least you get to rest at night.

The feet ask:

- You don't?

And the penis says:

- At night, when I'm placidly sleeping, they wake me up, they put me the jogging suit, and they make me do push-ups until I vomit!

Do you have to work for free for your relatives and friends?

Hi all!

I'm here again, after a week disconnecting from the job, though not from computers. That's what happens when all your family are waiting for you to go there and solve their computer issues...

I should have studied Rocket Science, so nobody would establish a relation between my skills and daily problems. Luckily I'm a generous and modest person, always ready to help... lol!

How is it with your career? does people expect you to work for free on your leisure time?

I go on a holiday

Hi all,

I'm going to be out for a week, so don't think I don't want to talk to you all. It's just I need to be out of Madrid and computers for a while. I'll try to go to the beach instead, and will miss you all nonetheless...

I'll be in Cantabria (north of Spain) you should all visit there some time. It's beautiful.

See you!

Guitar Hero

Have you ever played Guitar Hero?

It's great. It's the PS2 game about playing guitar.

One of the best things it has is that you don't have to know how to play guitar.

Another good thing is that it's so gradual you can learn to play the game taking as much time as you need.

And the best thing of all is the songs to play are great, real guitar classics. I've missed some bands and artists, like Dire Straits, Eric Clapton, Bon Jovi and so on, but the ones that are in the two current existing games are good enough to keep you entertained for a while.

I disagree with some choices, like 'Killer Queen' by Queen, 'Can you hear me knockin'' by The Rolling Stones, or 'Ziggy Stardust' by David Bowie. I think both of them have better guitar solo songs, but even so, it's worth playing. If you ever get the chance, try it, and feel free to comment your experience here.

P.S. I don't work for any of the companies responsible of the game, and don't get any commission. This is not an ad, it's simply great! ;-)

The song that seems written for you?

I think there are songs we like because they seem to have been written to describe us, or some fact in our lives.

For me there're a lot of them, but I think the one that fits better is 'Policy of Truth' by Depeche Mode, and particularly the line: 'never again is what you swore the time before'.

The song says how sometimes is better to have your mouth shut instead of telling the truth. I find really hard to lie. It takes a kind of courage that I lack. And sometimes I see how much easier and painless everything would have been if I had concealed the truth, if not lied.

So, what's that song that makes sense with you?

The best concert of your life?

Mine was the first time I saw The Cure.

I had to stand at 42º C (about 107.6º F) for 8 hours to be in first line. I had to listen to three groups I didn't know: the first one, I'm not even gonna mention, I don't want to promote them; the second one was Faith No More (which I didn't enjoy too much, the audience got so violent I was near to be step on); and the third was Oasis, which gave me a headache like I have never had again in my life. Everybody was shouting 'Robert! Robert!" and the Gallaghers even stopped playing for some minutes, the audience wasn't enjoying them at all, being most of us The Cure fans. The heat was insufferable. My skin was red and burning from standing under the sun, my hair was sweaty and messy. Luckily enough I was carrying a 2l. bottle of frozen water that lasted until sunset more or less cold. Oasis' last song was 'The walrus', great Beatles song, the only one I enjoyed, headache and all.

And then, an hour or so after Oasis left, there were the first notes of 'Plainsong', with the first breeze of the night, and everything was worth it. It was the beginning of my younghood, and my first big concert. I'll never forget it. It was magic.

So, what's yours?

Why do we try to make other people like the same things we like?
