This Is My Boat is So I will have my time

my birthday celebrations are relatively recent. Be that it did not have sufficient grounds to do so, nor with whom to share. But the past five or six years there have been celebrations for me are more than significant.

This time was no exception and may even think that the previous birthdays were, without planning, a prelude to this.

Last Friday was the meeting principal, although I actually started to be celebrated several weeks earlier. So I can say that part of my birthday this year was [if not deliberately, at least consciously]:

-Meet in person
Goran Bregovic-See "The Changing Page", "Silent Light" and "After Wedding "
-See Fratta and Fernando Rivera Calderón in vice and Edel Juarez Weaver's Forum
-Briz Travel to Monterrey, visit John, go to Antrópolis
-Visit Elenita S., on the pretext of garage sale
-Read the stories of John Villoro
wrongful-Go to the party of "the list"
-lap Change
-Eat
much chocolate cake-walk by night Rome

This was enough to be a birthday abundant, but the best without doubt was Friday already mentioned. Despite the rush to alert a day earlier, so many friends and so far attended the Countess Agapi Mu.

always wanted to do a meeting there and had always expected to share a birthday with several circles at once. And that is always fragmented meetings: those who go to Alicia surfing are not the same as listening to trova or hear Kusturica, who I am in the Cinematheque theater or not speak in technical language or policy and speaking of politics, economy philosophy or they say little dance, music or movies. But they are all my friends and enrich their own way.

What was pleasing to see them all. It may be difficult, but hopefully they will happen again some other day. And hopefully, those who could not get another chance to be present, which gives a lot of good vibes and a birthday.




Sales, as I leave here who take a fraternal Rolita of Frattita, the title of this post.


This Is My Ship
This is my boat and so,
no sail or rudder,
not touch port and you're not,
where are you going, where am I going?
Stay close.

This is my house and so,
no timbre or color,
not call anybody and you're not,
where are you going, where am I going?
Stay close.

This is my theater, so, no piano or
curtain
not applaud anyone and you're not,
where are you going, where am I going?
Stay close, stay close to me.

This is my temple and so, not Christs
or apology, not pray
anyone nor are you,
Where are you going, where I go?
Stay close, stay close to me. Fratta

What Flowers Can I Safely Put On My Wedding Cake?

Gypsies

Preamble
More than two months without updating, I know. It was difficult when I can connect and the connection is very slow, some pages do not open or end up doing other things, like checking email, myspace or hi5 and the result is that I have not written anything in the blog.

have been left out several issues: concerts, meetings with friends, reviews of books, movies ... things I think leave here and I can not.

Well, both actually preamble is because I do not know how to begin. Took weeks knowing that I write this post and now that I start I can not think how to start. Let's see, then.

Forum
Cultures is a concert theme. One that will be on Saturday September 22 at night. Will be in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, in a place called "Of the 400 Years" and is in the center of the city. Is a free event, massive, massive or slightly because that'll have to see for myself.

The square will supposedly fit 5 thousand people and the concert will be held under the Universal Forum of Cultures 2007 , second edition of an international event in Barcelona in 2004 and is characterized by several months (three to five) exhibitions, conferences, concerts and other cultural activities, with the themes of "Diversity Cultural "," Peace "and" Sustainable Development. "

In Spain, the first Forum [honestly, I have serious doubts about what "forum" to be accentuated and would prefer to call it simply "forum", but anyway] lasted 141 days (5 months, from January to September) and says he received more than 3 million people.

Among the personalities of the first edition, were Mikhail Gorbachev, José Saramago, Rigoberta Menchú, Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Juan Luis Cebrian, Adela Cortina, Baltasar Garzon, Ignacio Ramonet, Adolfo Perez Esquivel, Salman Rushdie and Alain Touraine. For Mexico, involved the Papantla Flyers, Carlos Fuentes and Sealtiel Alatriste, among others.

On the artistic side, were Pina Bausch, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Sting, Bob Dylan, Phil Collins, Lenny Kravitz, Víctor Manuel, Ana Belén, Pablo Milanes, Pedro Guerra, Joaquin Sabina, Joan Manoel Serrat, Cesaria Evora, Mikis Theodorakis and Chambao. Speaking

figures Forum 2004 was more than 20 exhibitions, 400 concerts, 170 bands, 60 shows of street theater companies, dance, cabaret and circus performances, interactive installations and dozens of additional cultural activities.

Monterrey Forum
This year, the Forum will be held in Mexico from September 20 to December 8 in the northern city of Monterrey. Personally, I doubt they would compare with that of Barcelona, \u200b\u200bbut I think that this is not reason to revile.

This time, expect more than a thousand events during the 80-day forum, which will be organized into four thematic areas: the aforementioned "Cultural Diversity", "Peace" and "Sustainability" and a room devoted to "Knowledge."

Activities are also organized in three formats: "Dialogues", "Exhibition" and "Cultural Expressions." The first, in turn, has the themes of "Peace and Spirituality, Education, Science and Technology", "Cities and Population", "Knowledge Based Development," "Culture of Health and Quality of Life" "Governance and Participation, Human Rights and Justice" "Identity and Diversity" and "Communication."

is important to note that the Forum is sponsored by UNESCO and this edition of only three months, however, is unprecedented in Latin America. Expected, for example, nearly 2 million attendees, about 410 speakers, 14 presentations and over a thousand activities of dance, music, theater and circus.

will be 56 countries represented, about 100 participating universities, 150 international organizations, 10 global meetings, about 3 thousand artists and intellectuals, 3 000 works on display as well as 30 national and 26 foreign museums.

Among the speakers announced are Mario Molina, Samuel Ruiz, César Cansino, Judith Bokser, Miguel Angel Granados Chapa, Daniel Cazes, Lydia Cacho, Gloria Ramirez, Sandra Cisneros, Enrique Krauze, Mario Vargas Llosa, Michel Wieviorka and Ignacio Ramonet, while in Music concerts will be part of Fito Paez, El Gran Silencio, Plastilina Mosh, Jumbo, Inspector, Jaguar, Patita Dog, Oscar Chavez, The Folklore, Tania Libertad, Lila Downs, Astrid Hadad, Regina Orozco, Eugenia León, Ojos de Brujo and Goran Bregovic.

Two other features of the Forum concerning the pre-planning and its immediate significance in the local area. With respect the former, it is known that preparations began months in advance, as it took a "master plan urban infrastructure, through which were remodeled and created the necessary space to host events and welcome the attendees.

Regarding its importance, it is said (or at least intended) that your event will transform the host locations. And certainly it is expected that in tourism has an important significance for the city. Not only that, while writing this text I received, here in Mexico City, brochures of the forum and heard someone tell another phone that was a few weeks to work there and pay him very well, I assume it will also provide hundreds or thousands of jobs, which is not for nothing. Goran Bregovic

, the Gypsy who visit Mexico
And after all this, I now give a personal explanation of why go to the forum, lightning visit to this city that is unknown to me (with me Briz, a friend of several years, who are sure to love the impromptu trip.)

The reason is simple. Of the hundreds of participants, the presence of Goran Bregovic is what I find to be missed. Everything I wrote would not know if it was not because of chance I read his name in a booklet and checked its performance by visiting the website of the Forum and Bregovic himself, in his concert schedule.

I have at least 10 years waiting for this visit, I always imagined would happen in Mexico City, not county. I know that he knows Bregovic in Argentina and Chile, but Mexico is practically unknown.

When someone asks me the kind of music I hear, I answer without hesitation that gypsy music, Balkan gypsy to be precise. And actually what I mean is that I hear Goran Bregovic. Of course, as the Romanian Taraf de Haïdouks and of course the Yugoslav also Emir Kusturica and No Smoking Orchestra .

But Bregovic is the first, no doubt. "Talijanska", "Kalasnjikov", "Sheva", "Ederlezi", "Hop Hop Hop", "In The Deathcar" or "Borino Gold" are songs (with some ska with some punk rock enough) I can hear over and over again with no hassles. Even the dance and that I have no idea how to dance or if they are dancing.

Nor are familiar to me the Cyrillic alphabet, and the Balkan languages, but those rhythms and sounds make me feel part of something, let alone touch them or say who of those who also enjoy them. So I am Roma and even happier I become.

As almost anyone who knows him, knew of his music for film. "Underground", this film in Mexico Kusturica liked it so much, when he arrived in 1996, was too short for my taste in music.

first thing I did was order the soundtrack on Mix Up, to return to hear that little tune as the band improvised, as provincial on either side, as rowdy and timeless, as sad and melancholy, like to party and funeral.

With the disc in my hands, several months after the assignment, I knew that the composer was Bregovic (bregovich ", say it says.) For that same time, I saw "Time of Gypsies", also scored by Kusturica and Goran. That movie made me fan of Kusturica's final film (or "kusturitza" for snobs purists), eager follower and aspiring Bregovic frantic (and pathetic, I suppose) of gypsy, say like that.

If you've seen "Black Cat, White Cat" tape also gypsies, imagine that I envied the hero and I love the Gitanita stated that it was his girlfriend! In fact, I still remember the name of the actress Branka Katic. Of that size, then, my divers.

Anyway, I'm not just me with this visit. Go to Monterrey only for a weekend is like crazy, more if I've never been there and more if I'm looking for a small square, a concert of two hours, which honestly doubt be filled with fans.

also be chasing a photo, video, some autograph and if it can be a improbabilísima interview. Take my DVD and CD covers for "Underground" (which incidentally have already signed Kusturica: "for Karl, Emir," says the inscription), "Time of Gypsies", "Arizona Dream", "La Reina Margot "and" Stories and Songs from Weddings and Funerals. " If I get a

interview (and if I get a translator), I will ask various things such as his recent involvement as an actor in the Italian film "The Days of Abandonment" (I saw a few months ago, also by chance), your next visit to Chile in early 2008 (of which I found out today and confirmed my friend Ale, via messenger), maybe some of his rift with Kusturica or their latest production "Karmen", which I assume refers to the English Gypsy everybody knows.

Anyway, I will need luck to all that happen. And perhaps fatally nothing happens. But who cares, I'll go and try. If it can be good, and if not well. I guess that's a gypsy attitude [and the failure of a condition], right? [Ooop!]

I Do not Know What To Do With Me

. I no longer know what to do with me.

No, not true. I mean, yes, but that will not write that day, but rather the thing is to comment on my blog and has little music (thanks to Carimy told me step by step how to do it, but I assumed it was something complicated).

Well, from week past could hear "The Husband" by Pedro Guerra, who probably put back later.

today officially say, I put "I Do not Know What To Do With Me" by Cuarteto de Nos, Uruguayan group quite like me, that I live a few months ago and I hope you please someone over here.

There highlighted in red the parts with which, say, I identified immediately.

And
.

[Ah, to hear the Rolita: the option is there in the right column under my profile and before the list of favorite blogs. And occasionally put other ditties, and the eclectic like me].

I Do not Know What To Do With Me

forced've had to go to church, and played on the piano "Für Elise"
have learned to distort my smile as I walked along the ledge;
place and changed my bed, I did comedy, drama did,
was concrete and I went around the bush, and I did good and I had a bad reputation.
ethical and I was already erratic because I was skeptical and was fanatical
I became apathetic and was methodical, and I was lewd and chaotic.
already read Arthur Conan Doyle , I went from naphtha to gas oil,
read and Breton and Moliere, and slept on mattress and box spring.
I changed my hair color, and I was against and for,
what gave me pleasure now gives me pain, I've been across the counter.

And I hear a voice say without reason: "You always changing, and no further change."
And I am more and more alike, I do not know what to do with me. Already

I drowned in a glass of water , and planted coffee in Nicaragua,
and I went to try their luck in USA, and playing Russian roulette,
and believed in the Martian I became a lacto ovo vegetarian, healthy.
I still and went gypsy, and I was tranqui and hands up. I
the course of mythology, but to me the gods were laughing. Gold
saved her here rhythmology scraping and applying.

I tried it, and smoked, and took, 've quit, I signed, and I went, and hit, and suffered, and evaded, and fled, and I took, I went and returned, and pretended, and lied.
And among the many falsehoods, and many of my lies are true.
adversity and I easily complicate me in trifles.

And I hear a voice that says rightly: "You always changing, and no further change."
And I am more and more alike, I do not know what to do with me.

I already did a facelift, I got a piercing, I went to the Dream Team and there was no feeling.
Me Che tattooed on one cheek, above the mom to not leave,
and I laughed and I could care less about things and people that scare me now ,
fasted for reasons to fart, I enticed by spiedo chicken.

I went to a psychologist, was the theologian, went to the astrologer, was the winemaker,
I became an alcoholic and I lambeta, and was anonymous and I did diet,
and threw stones and spat at the place where I now work,
and my file has a piece that I behaved well and I built mess.

And I hear a voice say without reason: "You always changing, and no further change."
And I am more and more alike I do not know what to do with me.

And I hear a voice that says rightly: "You always changing, and no further change."
And I am more and more alike, I do not know what to do with me.
