Gorgeous

There was a football match yesterday... but it was more than that. We had been waiting for this day, a day of glory for those who like football. We Barça fans witnessed the victory of art and poetry in motion in front of sheer strength and power. Barça defeated Chelsea F.C. at Stamford Bridge in a match full of images to remember. Players fought bravely in a muddy potato field. The pitch was awful!! Barça played and Chelsea ran. Two different views of football met in London last night: No one can criticize Chelsea for the way they play. They fight for every single ball and pass it with a swift kick to their forward players who run like arrows towards the goal. No one does it better than Chelsea, and this is why they are on top of the Premiere League. But they met something different. Barça offers constant struggle to recover the ball as well, but there is something else... art! The Catalans are constantly trying to dribble and pass the ball through the most unbelievable space. Their most outstanding sample is Ronaldinho... or at least he was, now there's another one. Lionel Messi. English spectators could witness yesterday the rise of a new star. He drove Del Horno mad (he got a well deserved red card for his tackle), and later all the other defenders. Don't miss the wise comments on the independent page.

Poor Prophet

It is something that can't be avoided: Prophets are always misunderstood. Name it Jesus, name it Mahoma, or even Pelé. Messages of peace, righteousness and ethics are always misinterpreted and turned into moralistic girdles used to enslave people's minds and life. I'm not very sure those gentlemen would be very glad to see the way women were, or are treated because of the laws put in their mouths by their biographers. They wouldn't be very happy either if they saw how their messages of peace are turned into missiles or stones, thrown into those (mostly innocent) who happen to be out of the likes of the prophet's admirers.
I don't think it is wise to insult the religious beliefs (irrational as they can be) of any community; but it is also unwise to stand up with rage against a stupid joke: Ignore it, that is the best that can be done.
Draw a prophet, burn a flag, what's next? These deeds speak for themselves... Machiavelo and the cavemen joined together in marriage of dreadful fear!

Love thy neighbour... even at distance!

Bloody Boring Day!

The internal network is down, no mail, no files, no server. Only internet. I can't see how people think civil servants spend their whole working days basking in the sun! I would die of boredom! My lesson for today is: "It's better to be hectic than to be idle". I have experienced a bit of that today, believe me.
By the way, being idle at work is not exactly like staring at the open landscape like the wanderer in the painting. That is a nice painting!

Hectic

Working in the Catalan Department of Education is hectic!
You are always doing something urgent. It's very difficult to get some time in order to set you mind to work on more creative things in our professional field. I've got many things in my head that I want to develop. I'm sure I'll find the time, but it's hard.

I've come across a very interesting website: http://www.cooeey.com
A very nice tool to create your own blog.... don't you worry! it's different to blogger! It's very good for students, because it allows you to create your own "notebook", where you have your own blog and your photo album. You can customise everything with a very cool layout.
