That feeling that changing the time makes me fell.

Nature does not follow the logic of the seconds and minutes but the one the sunlight marks. Men have created artifices like the hour system that constitute a different system of reference.

Twice each year is the times that we, in Spain, obediently change our clocks one hour to save energy, as they say. Hey! we are politically concerned with the need of saving energy resources. Why, then, don’t we limit the maximum consumption of the light bulbs, the PCs, the cars and, in general, of any human being. Hey, you! Fine for exceeding the maximum consumption of 30000 Kw per day and person. We could force to make the films shorter so we would not spend too much time seated down in a cinema wasting energy. As you can see, is a GREAT excuse for doing this every year. Imagine the companies' complaints if the government uses this kind of measure to deter people from buying cars, or use telephone or, in general, any other consumer good. Do not waste water, but build a swimming pool, that is what they say to us.

Seems that, according to the studies, is true that doing this, changing our clocks, saves energy. The doubt that I have is if that saving is worth the problems that makes, and if this saving is relevant proportionally compared to the costs. If what they want is power saving why not doing it in another way.

In Spain we always go before the solar time, about one or two hours more. According to this, at 12:00 sun reaches its zenith, but we, in the best cases, at 13:00. Many people think that this difference is something that we don’t have to be worried about. They say that our organism is already adapted to the unnatural mechanical clocks and not to the solar one. But the fact is that this change affects our biorhythms because they have little understanding of the hour from the clock and do have from the tides, the moon and the sun.

Metal Gear Solid 3, Snake Eater. Mission Completed.


Just of few minutes ago I finished this game. What a great game! Everything that I can say is not enough to describe how good it is, so I am not going to describe the wonders that this film, I should have said video game, has. Just tell you that if you have the chance to play it don’t miss it, is worthy to spend the more than twenty hours that takes to finish it. Why there are not more games like this?

What a joy to get up in the morning...

…and see a precious day thru the window.

To wake up slowly with the light that enters in my room, not to hear an alarm clock that wakes me up to jump off the bed, to not have to take breakfast in a hurry, to not have to drive in a traffic jam, today, exceptionally, I don’t have to go to work. It’s Friday and we are of holidays.

Sephyrot’s PS2

As some of you know I am a fan of the Metal Gear Solid series, but, unfortunately, I do not have PlayStation, consequently, having the chance to play these games is a little bit complicated for me. With the release of the new Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, my envies to all of those PS2 owners achieves critical limits. Luckily, my friend Sephyrot has supported me and has lent me his PS2, so now I am playing this game as much as I can, because I have to finish it during these holidays to bring it back as soon as possible.

Sin City

For years I have seeing comics of Sin City in the stores and I have never bought one, but since I knew that they were making a film I have put an eye on it. I haven't read a comic yet; I prefer to wait to see the film, doing so I will not be disappointed with the result, although participating Frank Miller (the author) the fidelity is guaranteed. The quality of the work can be verified by seeing the trailer. I am raging of desire to see the film. The cast, to say the least, is spectacular, Bruce Willis, Rosario Dawson, Nick Stahl, Jessica Alba, Josh Hartnett, Brittany Murphy, Elijah Wood, Michael Madsen and Benicio del Toro among others, in addition, Quentin Tarantino collaborated in the direction. Seems good, isn't it? I'm looking for someone who wants to share his comics with my to put my hands on Sin City.

In the beginning...

...there was silence and darkness.

Today a new blog has been born in the universe. Mine.

This is the International Edition of my personal blog, which is in Spanish. I think that I’m a citizen of the world, so I’m writing my blog in English to make my words spread out thru this little big universe of Internet.

I claim this site for my ideas and myself. From now on this place will be bound by an oath to carry interesting messages and even more interesting stupidities. It will keep the picture that, through my eyes, I do of the universe where I live in. I will try to make it pleasant for all of those that end up here.

Enjoy the site as much as I do making it.
