Where are you?

I was walking last night and I felt lost

Dreaming on your smile I sought peace

all my sorrow came down

blurring all my mind and living like a ghost

 

Where was I? Where were you?

How did I came here?

Too much to say and nothing to talk about

mere day by day in an empty truth

 

I once dreamt on a better Time

The dreamt has gone but my hope not

so much burden to bear dear

When I thought it was all mine

 

Life is not mine and is not ours

We are just lost walkers in this vast dessert

wondering and dreaming of a life once lived

counting and losing our only hours

Where are you?

Where are our friends? Where is our hope? Where have all the good times gone?

I just remember how summer would pass and Xmas was just around the corner, there was not much to worry about. In my spanish blog I was writing about manipulation and all sorts of bad things we learn in our lives, now I still wonder, can we live our lives in peace? Is it all in our heads?

are we just cursed to live in sorrow and fear? I think is very natural, almost everybody fears (almost anything)

Who controls the information?

It’s been centuries since some small group of people controls information, based on how foolish their audience is the larger their profits are. We live in a world of gossip, where we are entertain by the demise and misfortune of others. There are some people that are really into it, I can name several sources but what is the point? I will not become part of the problem. Juanmanuel Cunningham Armas , that is my name, it was given to me, and with it I have been able to open bank accounts, set up business, register my children’s birth certificates, get married, and so on, but who controls the names? the records?? are we just a number like the movies say? we are worth what our number says….

Next time you are face to face with a problem, ask yourself, what am I? why do I have to respond to this? is it really important? you are not history, history is just another more record in books, when you die you don’t take that with you…. so be free and try to be as good as your heart demands you to be…. peace!

 

Downgrade, Upgrade, Firmware, Software, WLAN, LAN, OS, and the story goes on and on and on…

It was not so long ago that we had to type our homework with our parents typewriter, I personally prefrerred to make them by hand, it was faster and easier. I then discovered computers, “WORDSTAR” and “LOTUS 123” were like the lost treasure of the word processing. I imporved my homeworks and my teachers would appreciate the clean and sleek presentation when they had to read to make their grading.

It was a good time, I remember my mother would use it very easily and there was not too much to be said and done, just type in and “Presto”!!!! , last night i brought a new printer/scanner/fax machine home. My friends, i spent three hours, upgrading the firmware, installing the drivers, now they do not even use cables, it is all wireless, good for me and the cleaning lady but if i hadn’t had any google reference or ask.com i bet i would still be installing the printer. while installing i was thinking of  my aunts or my mom doing the same. I guess they just could not do it in three hours, they would have to call someone to do it for them. We have made things more complex, more unfriendly, if you do not have an “Intermediate” knowledge on computers terms and skills you are not installing your printer! and they say on the box it is plug and play! well as a good friend just mentioned yesterday, < I had a problems with your website “cookies” , She said she was having problems with the cookies she bakes let alone the ones in her computer! >
Year ago, i read that simplicity is the greatest sophistication. the simpler the more advanced. I think we are on the wrong direction.
and if you do not have a credit card, you are nobody here in the world wide web!!! hope i can see the day computers become more simple and more sophisticated…

If it does not have sugar, it does not deserve to be called candy.

Today I was joking with my wife, we had some Chinese “candies”, but they are totally sugarless, how can you call something a candy if it does not have any sugar? How can you call yourself a person if you don’t have problems? don’t have scars? don’t have hope? you need certain things in life to be called human…
Might sound crazy but life goes trhough with our without you wanting, it goes on an on in this sea of joy and sometimes sea of madness, you can’t stop things from happening, just be aware that in every problem there is an opportunity, in every tear there is hope, in every wonderful moment there is triumph. enjoy your life and forget your sorrows, today what may seems the end of the road is actually a new beginning…

today is a cold rainy day, tomorrow will be summer and someday it will be your day, as I once read, eat more candies, walk around more often, climb more mountians, listen more music, be a little crazier than usual, because someday you will be 80 and would love to go back and do it all over again but there’ll be no more time….
