Inauguration at Full Sail



Talk about a giant screen to watch today's inauguration on! As Obama was talking today (don't know why) I was thinking they would be presenting the event on the jumbotron @ Full Sail... See? They did it.

If I may, I have to say I thought his words were perfect for the time we are going through. He was inspiring as I haven't seen a world leader being in a long time.

4 years...

Time flies.
It almost seem like yesterday
That he left us.

We didn't even know what was up
He kept scratching and itching
And complaining,
Something he never used to do.
Something was up,
But we didn't even know...
what was up.

Until the doctors said CANCER,
The dreaded "C" word
That my mom had defeated
A few years before,
So she thought he could do it too.

But only days passed
And it was obvious he was in pain.

Within days,
He stopped laughing and joking
He stopped talking...
He closed his eyes,
Those beautiful eyes full of hope
And love for everyone.

My dad left this world.
He died of liver cancer.

He was the man I hope I can get to be one day.
He was my biggest inspiration.

Te extraño papa...

Melendi - Con solo una sonrisa

Un asturiano genial... con un sonido parecido a Joaquin Sabina. Este tema me capturo, de su album del 2005.

Funny: Flight Of The Conchords...

These guys are hilarious. It's even funnier, when you consider they play this groovy R&B coming from New Zealand.

They call themselves: "Formerly New Zealand's fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo":

Seattle Post-Intelligencer up For Sale



I learned about it on this post.

Obviously, the blogger is upset but unfortunately this is not only the result of the current economic situation: newspapers have been seeing changes coming for a very long time and now many of them are facing reality... sadly a rough one because it is exploding on the faces of journalists during these tough times.
