How Long Does It Take For Tick To Bite You

Brainstorming to dismiss / to welcome the year

-

Four, three, two, one, a burst of applause and a couple of hugs (some feeling of obligation or other label) ... reached the conclusion that each one takes for themselves in a different way: the closing of a cycle of memories built for twelve months or the promise of new opportunities ahead. The reality is that this is a time as ordinary as any other and celebrate just because the calendar reminds us that someone had marked this day as the point where the planet completes one revolution around the sun and another begins.

This season is an excuse to challenge ourselves, to speak of purpose or hold some shared memories with loved ones. However, the truth is that I do the rest of the year, almost continuously, and I will leave today for a little introspection shared with you. I hope it does not sound redicho or repetitive so in this post trying to get across, because it really is sincere:

Perhaps this picturesque village and eternally motionless
with occasional remnant of hope, but eventually
so self-absorbed as he is,
tried to stop, confused, navigate,

perhaps the citadel with a little history and no memory, a square frantic
where who you know matters more than what you know,
where no matter who dies and who does not live, as the selection
abandoned and arbitrary criteria,
to elect those who survive;

perhaps this city where you do not care who you are but how you appear,
which has forgotten the ancient hero,
admirable but not old hero, perhaps
where it claims to innovation but not for the progress and where large
have dissolved among others,
weak and small,
because it is accepted and reverence

perhaps you, the neighbor, the mother of one or a stranger, perhaps
indoctrination from his chair,
perhaps the same wind or fire,

if anyone tried to merge with the current ,
make me walk the path most traveled,
or re-treading the path of the poet before me
even if it is as big as the one performing the walking without a path, or who spoke
women and wine, not to mention
talking to himself in the mirror, if anyone tried

perhaps change my course,
because I need or the world needs me and vice versa
respond coldly that the world needs what I, what I want
to be and feel alive,
and hundreds, thousands and millions need to live and create life,

because I submit to a system different from mine ,
pet acceptance, over time, the limitations of a cage
or as a prisoner, who has lost hope that bird
able to get free,

And so, with some
hope I can admit that I want the picturesque village,
the citadel and the metropolis,
and you and the neighbor and his mother and an unknown
remember the old hero and not just avoid dying, but alive and
exceeded the fear, fear that
and makes us captives
a prison without bars or when metals lose
of reasons.

However, even when neither the village,
nor city, nor anyone still remembers
great causes,
the great reasons to live.
At least I have the consolation that I
and perhaps a few others,
we walked (and thus continue)
a different direction.
Let this be a happy year, very productive, entertaining, surprising, conducive to learning and learning and as there Guille said in a Facebook status, we are our own heroes.

Dark Brown With Purple Highlights

Solitudine


I dread to think back a little solitude,
perhaps because it is painful and difficult to carry,
perhaps because it is uncontrollable and you against yourself,
or maybe even because you feel surrounded by many people.
frightens me a bit more than I love you, even when I know so some of you,
and I can only wonder how it would be less alone with you,
but loneliness is mine and only I can save it.
not ask how, please
it would have to say a phrase redicha and puppet, perhaps
making me strong,
when the truth is that loneliness is one of those issues,
few but annoying
that are out of my hands. I need to
yours.

When Teething Stops For Rottweilers

For a Christmas surrounded by friends and loved ones Gran Reserva "

.


William Blake put it quite well:
I Must Be create a system or enslaved by Another man's, I Will Not
reason and compare: my business is to create.

My system is different, my ways, likewise. That's why I explain why I will be happy this Christmas:

We are looking forward to the celebration of Christmas and yet, I can not agree with those who criticize me not having the Christmas spirit so typical of time. Sure, not that I'm bitter, but what happens is that first reviewed the reasons that this celebration is so popular.

Religious celebrate the anniversary of the birth of Jesus Christ and this time is one in which we should stop preaching God's son born in our hearts. This was the reason that until about two years ago celebrated the "nativity", but the Catholic religion is professed for years one of sacrifice for the needy, the weakest since in them is the kingdom of heaven . Now I know that the sacrifice is not necessary for the survival of mankind and I hope more and more people discover it.

Then there are those who celebrate Christmas as a feast to have fun Dionysian No Matter What , but I do not want to pretend that a colorful, bright and tumult of people is the source of my happiness. On the contrary, I want it to be an opportunity for me to celebrate in my life makes me happy.

This has been a great year and I am pleased to celebrate both win it. This has been a difficult time as well and I will be playing starting at and fix. In a few months I've met amazing people and plays up the glasses for them. Health also by whom he knew from before, and who was from before and who I've become only months. That

pass very happy with those who most want! Happy holidays

More Emotional Peri Menopause

best gift for Christmas for Americans (NOT)

.


The man year according to TIME magazine, President Obama, decided to take the resort of Santa Claus and celebrate a "victory" (for whom?), After which adopt the draft law reform in the U.S. Senate with overwhelming (in the literal sense of the word) result of 60 votes with only 39 against.

What this really Santa Claus will bring to Americans is not the extension of health services to all citizens of this country, but thousands of other tax burdens and regulations on taxation and productive business.

Here's the rest of the news and you can read this article by Scott Gottlieb on what doctors and patients have to lose with the approval of Obamacare.

What Is The Red Flower On British Suits

El Mirador: a journey through the jungle

.


Ours was not a magnanimous odyssey the likes of a crusade, much less the return to Ithaca, but have walked the route to the archaeological site of El Mirador, in part by cutting paths the jungles of northern Peten and in part by used by the ancient roads from the Preclassic Maya, was no mean feat.

After two days' journey arrived at camp and next morning we left for the climax of our trip, the top of La Danta pyramid complex named in honor of one of the largest animals in the region. Do not be confused: this is not just a pyramid, although the highest point is at the top of it is rather a series of platforms on which there are three temples and ceremonial as a whole has a larger volume than other similar structures as large as the pyramid of Cheops in Egypt.

platform near ground has an area as large as 17 football fields and the overall height allows us to observe the remains of a perimeter wall that protected the citadel, when I was active back in the first millennium BC. It's impressive stand at this point and feel that you deserve the satisfaction of standing on the symbol of the Mayan civilization, one that by the knowledge they had learned to build and implement is considered the most advanced of this continent, but which inevitably went into decline to be a people detached from the use of reason and, more simply put, being a people who practiced the war, when it is nothing but the best evidence of failure in the task of understanding the each other.

Still, we saw an impressive frieze, the oldest discovered in the Mayan culture, which was next to the canal system these people used to store and distribute water. The interesting thing is that it represents the idea of \u200b\u200bcreation is told in the Popol Vuh, and custom dates to Christianity takes away the originality of the idea. Thus, we conclude that Adam was not the first mythical man (a metaphor, if you wish) which were invented to explain the origin of the world.

After spending some time contemplating the vastness of the forest and the forest that once inhabited the ancient Maya, visit the structure 34 or Great Claw Jaguar, an interesting point because it preserved some of the colors (black, cream, red) were used as decoration. Finally, we saw the sunset from the pyramid of El Tigre and then make a toast to the Zacapa Centenario 23 year old Albert shared with us in the cups that each had to be preserved intact during the journey to this point.

On our way back we passed the site The Tintal, where we could watch the stars from the top of one of the temples till late at night, where some spent the night until dawn. All wonderful! Here we also saw the field for larger ball game around the northern Petén, before embarking on the last day on the way to the village of Carmelita, the only stop on the site of La Florida.

The trip was quite introspective, at least for me, where I could explore various ideas, including some of the following quote to a friend shared before leaving on our adventure:

It is easy to live in the world after the world's opinion, it is easy in solitude to live after Our Own, But The great man is he Who in the Midst of the crowd with perfect sweetness Keeps The Independence of solitude. Ralph Waldo Emerson

As also said Adelaide forest roads are not flat and took me through narrow byways formed by memories, dreams, fears, joys and another of those words combined that sound good, but once lived, no sound again in a similar way.

Why Does Is Burn To Pee

The cynicism of our political leaders: the rot that surrounds us

.

only had to pass a sheet of paper today to run into the headlines was not, as expected, in the first pages of the newspaper. In its place was a paid Vice President of this country reminding us that yesterday was the international day to combat corruption and that as he mission has had a life of honesty and transparency as a key feature and important, "he has shown in its exercise within the public administration, encourages us to build a different Guatemala, a Guatemala seriously. Go cynicism! Maybe it was an honest doctor, but as Karen says Cancinos, "an honest politician is an oxymoron."

The perfect example we see the other side of the page in the XXI Century interview the deputy for the WIN Manuel Barquin, who tried (with little success) to hide his interests lying politician, hiding his ties to the ruling party and still have the nerve to say you can get to Petén peacefully and tell their constituents and their mayors: Mission accomplished. What mission? Will support a flexible budget and without all the locks because apparently transparency is overrated? This is evidenced in their responses.

Then I move one blade and the news is clear: there will be protests today, organized by the Unit Trade Union and Popular Action (UASP) to give support to women's confrontational speech vampire, you need more and more funding and clear to us to provide you with the logic they use to convince us that if we do, we acting against the "good" public (Note the quotation marks).


Joviel not lack Acevedo seeks to justify the fact that paralyzed the city and prevent the free movement of many citizens and productive workers on the grounds that want to legislate to require that for the majority, as if That was the only remedy to avoid the political class to benefit. The solution is actually legislate but not for the benefit of anyone, but creating a system of checks and balances that prevent a person or a group looking to have a privilege or perk at the expense of the rest.

But of course, our lush Finance minister says should be a subject MiFaPro overcome. Again, be cynical!

How can we overcome an issue like this and other machinery of government solidarity to suck our blood and our work product production if using just as an excuse to plunder our property? How to overcome if it is used as a justification for the misguided modus operandi of this government to continue to borrow ourselves and future generations? How to overcome the fact that merge needs, such as health and education rights, if precisely this confusion which is leading many to favor a tax package that appear to be fair, but it really is useless and is evil?

is why we can not talk about tax justice, as did Alvaro Velasquez in his column today (SigloXXI.com not allow links), invoking the maxim that economic democracy is "everyone does, all win "when it involves a series of destructive consequences for both the capital (yes, the controversial capital often demonize even the source of economic growth and helping countries to improve the welfare of the people), and for the code of ethics to accept, which obliges us to give up the fruits of our effort on behalf of those who have no more merit than their needs, when the right is ours.

I invite you, dear reader, to read daily newspapers today, because you'll notice the rot around us.

Alvaro Colom, spoke a few days ago with some friends, is really just the fetid odor of a system that is rotten and needs to be reformed. Is not that obvious?

In the meantime, I recommend the article by Jose Raul Gonzalez Merlo Velasquez attempted to refute, to read it first hand: "Who pays the taxes?" .
