O.K. time to update this thing, so here we go: on the 24th I had to work half day. Then I ran karts, had some beers, then drank champaigne, exchainged presents, had some tamales and afterwards went to a friend of mine, played risk, drank beer, vodka, bayleys and rum. We are arrenging again with the friends to go watch The Two Towers again. It was such an amazing movie. Great! The battle scenes were unbelievable, the story was well treated, the fight between Gandalf and the Balrog was astonishing. I would have liked to see more of the Ents and watch the whole forest arose against Orthanc, not only around 100 Ents, but it was fun to watch the flood and the fight. I recommend it. I hope you have a good rest of christmas. Bye
I sometimes feel kinda stupid. Stupid because I cannot even imagine why people do things that won't make any sense. Surely I'm overlooking something too obvious, or by some reason cannot imagine why they will do something like that. Bombs. Terror. Hate. Anger. Vengance. Pain... I won't ever understand why some people enjoy giving pain to other people. To innocent people. Just like humanity's history shows us that the men advance, research and work to find new ways to kill more people more swiftly and easily. If you think at it a little bit, you could maybe justify your hate, your anger, maybe after someone kills your mother or your father, or someone you love. But I cannot find a justification for someone that puts a bomb and kills a bunch of innocent people just for terror, for pressuring the government. And what I cannot understand is why foreign people, not involved in our war come here and teaches the FARC advanced techniques for bomb-cars? Is money so important? I
I just wanted to put these lyrics here today. I just think that it's good to have good things to remember, and even the bad things will be remembered without grief. See ya some other day, fools! I Will Remember You (by Sarah McLachlan, Seamus Egan, and Dave Merenda) I will remember you Will you remember me? Don't let your life pass you by Weep not for the memories Remember the good times that we had? I let them slip away from us when things got bad How clearly I first saw you smilin' in the sun Wanna feel your warmth upon me, I wanna be the one I will remember you Will you remember me? Don't let your life pass you by Weep not for the memories I'm so tired but I can't sleep Standin' on the edge of something much too deep It's funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word We are screaming inside, but we can't be heard But I will remember you Will you remember me? Don't let your life pass you by Weep not for
I managed to reserve some tickets for the opening screening of "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" here in Bogota. I cannot believe the year long wait is over... although I'll have to wait another year to see the last film of the saga. This next wednesday a friend that lives in Spain comes to Colombia. Yamile Toscano arrives after two years without coming here. All I have to say is "Welcome pal! Hope you enjoy your vacations!" At the time I still have the MSN and the ICQ blocked by the firewall. I expect that this week I'll get the new permissions that allow me to use those programs. I feel uncommunicated and a little weird having to use a phone. Dammit! Last weekend I finally managed to do some sport. On saturday we went to play football (soccer) at 8 am in a park that's called Guaymaral. And around 11 am we went to drive karts on Bima. T'was a good time. Around 1 pm I arrived home and then went to watch the "6 horas de Bogotá" that
Well, about karts, it's a good thing when you get the feeling for them. A little rough, but finally managed to control and made my best (for 3 legs) of 23.56 sec. Not bad for a newbie, but still far away from that day's best time of 22.24 for the track. Too bad that Juan Camilo felt bad just when we were going to go karting. Alvaro made the best times of us all. Congrats! Today arrives my brother with his wife and kids over. I haven't seen them for around one and a half years. The little boy should be 5 years old now and the lass 3 years old. I long to see them so much! (Damn, I sound like a girl). And guess what has brought my brother to me. The Lord of the Rings Special Edition DVD I preordered through internet, and a poster to hang on my room. Do not envy me, fellas! I have to leave my room for my brother and sister-in-law and go over to the guest's room. I already planned to take my computer and stereo over there so I can still play and work over there. Maybe tomor
This is my second day of work here at the SSPD. I'm fighting installing a firewall using SuSE 8.0... the installation stucks after the CD 1 is installed. I have to go over to safemode to finish installing it. I don't have any clue about it, I think it's something related with the graphics card. I'll try to install SuSE 7.0 tomorrow and then make an upgrade to the 8.0 and see if it still stucks when the graphics come. Well, I'm going to drive karts over at the 7 con 150 with Isaac, Juan Camilo and Ana. Well, I hope I won't finish last. :-) See ya later!
Finally, I got hold of the new job. I'll begin next wednesday the 11th. Whoo - hooo! Hey! You are a first hand witness of a breakthough in my life, congrats! I got also nominated for Minister of Treasury by the almost certain president of the United Freak Party for the Constitutional term 2014-2018, Juan C. Latorre . I humbly accept the offering, and expect that there will be some (if any) treasure to guard by then. Thank you Mr President Wannabe! Tonight I'll just go and celebrate the nomination, the new job and a friend of mine's birthday, Camilo Meza. Happy Birthday, foo! I'll just arrive on time to Cafe Atlantico, that is a nice place on the Parque de la 93. I expect to go with some nice girl and have a good time. And if I go alone, I'll hope to meet some interesting girl to dance with. Life has many turnarounds. You never know when it will change for you, and when it does, you just have to be prepared to grab it and not to let it go. And take some chances,
Well, everything is done. I've already announced to my boss that I'll leave this job, 'cause I was offered another one. But at this time I don't know if I'm ever getting the new one. . . the boss should have called me last night but didn't. I'm a little stressed right now, I just hope and pray everything will go well. Good afternoon to you all.
Well, it's time to let this happen. It was burrowed somewhere in my mind to put a page where I could just write what I felt. So I have to send a big "Thank You" to Juan Camilo Latorre for pushing me to do this with a simple ICQ message. I quote: "usted debería crear su blog" that's "you should create your blog" on common english. (Well, I had to ask him what a 'blog' was anyway...) Ten minutes afterwards, I'm stuck in front of the keyboard with too much to say that I do not know where to begin... and now, I found myself at the end of my introduction, someplace where I haven't even introduced myself. My name is German Enrique Garcia, and live in Colombia. Yep, that country in South America, not the US state -I just remembered how much I hate to receive mail where it says "Columbia" instead of ColOmbia- The city: Bogotá. Well, I have to go back to work. See you later!
