A song for the magdalene


If, at midnight, on the road
I told you,
Behind a gas station
Where I fulled
makes you a bulbs wink
Blue, red and yellow
Be good...
And brake.
And if the magdalene
Ask for a drink
You invite her one hundred
That I pay.
Come to her door and knock
If you die of thirst,
If you don´t play checkers
Not even your wife.
I only ask you to write me,
Counted if still alive
The Virgin of sin,
Bride of the flower of saliva,
Sex with love of married.
Owner of a heart
So five stars
That, to the son of a god,
Once the saw
He went with her.
And never claimed
the magdalene.
If you are more alone than the moon
Be convincing,
Providing my health, with a
That I know.
And when the drinks go up,
The double of what she ask
give she for her favors,
That, at the home of Mary Magdalene,
Bad company is the best.
If you carry fat in the glove
And a soul to lose
Parked next to her milk and honey hips.
Between two curves redemptive
The most forbidden fruit
wait you until the dawn,
The most mistress of all whores,
The most whore of all the ladies.
With that heart
So five stars
That, to the son of a god,
Once the saw
He went with her,
And never claimed

The magdalene

Guernica


Today I want to share a drawing I did yesterday. It isn´t an original painting only one version of one of the most important work of the twentieth century, Pablo Picasso's Guernica. Here goes:




I guess the next image is totally unnecessary, since it is a better-known work, but just in case there are any clueless this is theoriginal:





A bit of history about the paint ... It was painted by Picasso in the months of May and June 1973. The title refers to the bombing of Guernica occurred on 26th April of that year during the Spanish civil war by the German Condor Legion and Italian aviationLegion (operation Rügen). The painting was commissioned to expose the Spanish Republic in the Spanish pavillion at the Paris International Exhibition of 1937 to give worldwide publicity to the Republican cause.


During the dictatorial regime of General Franco, Picasso decided to exhibit the painting in New York MOMA held, bute xpressed his desire that the painting was returned to Spain at the time to return to democracy. In 1981 the painting arrived to Spain,was exhibited at the Cason del Buen Retiro and then from 1992 in the Reina Sofia museum, where is on permanent exhibition.




Picasso never did say why he painted Guernica, or give an interpretation of the work, so the interpretation is controversial, but their artistic value is beyond question. Not only is considered one of the most important works of the twentieth century but has become a true icon, a symbol of the terrible suffering that the war violates human beings.


In the painting are represented nine characters: A bull (brutality and darkness), a mother with her ​​dead son (protected by the bull,probably symbolizes the besieged city of Madrid), a dove (with a broken wing and almost invisible, it is considered a broken peace sign), a dead warrior (and dismembered, decapitated head and arm with the sword and with a flower symbol of hope in a desolate), a light bulb (it is the most controversial imageawake, multiple interpretations, from the eye of society that observe but nor condems, until the bombs dropped by aircraft, the scientific progress ...), a horse (about to fall badly wounded, pierced by a spear), a kneeling woman (wound), a woman with a lamp (Phantom of the republic, illuminates the room and goes in a state of shok), a burning house and a man begging (begging the planes to stop bombing, inspired by Goya's painting The Shootings of May 3rd)




I hope you have enjoyed this great painting, and all who haveoccasion, considering the original in the museum Reina Sofia inMadrid,  I say gooddbye citing an anecdote on the mouth of Picasso about the painting, greetings! :)



It is said that in 1940, Nazi-occupied Paris, a German officer,with a picture of a reproduction of Guernica, asked to Picasso if it was he who had done that. The painter replied, "No, you were"

Charlie Pace




By popular demand (well, not popular..., but two people have told me to write about it: P) I want to return the blog today to remember the best TV series I've seen lately (maybe the best I remember) :-) , This is LOST.




This is  a serie with a very complex argument, that twists more season afterseason it is impossible to resolve in a simple post, so I'll tell you about my favorite character, Charlie:).



(warning!!!, this post contains many spoilers, if you intend to watch the TV serie do not read)


Charlie, beeing one of the main characters, there isn´t one that supports more weight in the entire series, even at one point, the lost´s writers (damn) decide to take out of the way, yes..., killing him :-(



Poor Charlie ... but for me is the most special. Charlie is very kind and human (very rares qualities on the island)  stars in many of the most tender scenes of the series, but also the funny or romantic. For all this and more is my favorite character.
Charlie Pace is a rock star in decline, is addicted to heroin (made ​​that causes many problems on the island) and gradually able to overcome this addiction.


On the island falls in love with Claire, and makes a paternalistic role toward his little Aaron. Charlie is the kind of friend you'd like to have at your side, I remember when Claire asks a jar of peanut butter on the island and Charlie gets to make her one to imagine eating up almost taste it, just remember how emotional it finally gets get one: P
At one point in the history appears provably Charlie died in a vision of one of the main characters, it makes you expect the worst about this event ... At the time of his death he knows that this will be his destiny, but even so decide to deal with it to save their comrades, and especially to save Claire and Aaron.



The last episode is to cry from beginning to end, but Charlie stars in one of the most emotional scenes in my opinion, when he meet again with Claire and Aaron.




Some of the symbols of Charlie are the bands on the fingers forming the word FATE changed by LATE before, and his ring, before he died he would leave Aaronin on his crib (Unfortunately Claire doesn´t see it).
In short, there are many reasons that makes Charlie a great fictional character, I hope over time to go look at each one of them (and why not revisit the issue again on Charlie) and little by little things count on this wonderful series.




This last video is part of the wonderful soundtrack of this great series, I hope Ienjoy it as much as I do :-). Greetings!
