What Happeneed To Heather Deep

Thousand Splendid Suns 7th symphony

This summer, I met two Muslim girls. One of them was the most gentle and kind with which I have ever met, the other seemed to me cold, hard, tight.
Khaled Hosseini takes us in this work, frankly, as splendid as the soles of Kabul in a world where nothing is easy, in that death, torture, persecution and repression are present in every aspect of life, especially if you're a woman. The people you mentioned at the beginning were not Afghan, but I am convinced that their ways are so radically different a coherent explanation on the role women have in the Islamic world. And through Mariam and Laila, I managed to understand them as never before.

not know much about the history of Afghanistan. In fact, only short fragments that have reached me through my TV screen Western. I know there have been no war, there have been bombings, which settled a terrorist regime in power for a few years. And people has died, suffered and, a little, get ahead. That is the idea which Khaled Hosseini kneaded along this wonderful work that, despite everything, many people have survived, still breathing and dealing with life after death to see how loved and to be exiled an inhospitable land.
Thousand Splendid Suns is the story of two women who grow up in different environments. Mariam is a harami , the illegitimate daughter of a rich man had a servant, lives in hiding, is a source of shame and dishonor. Laila was born in Kabul invaded by the Soviets, a delicate situation, but allows women from working, studying, and she's smart. The events are rushing around two protagonists, so that at different times in their lives, both end up married to the same man, Rasheed, a shoemaker who imposes his will belt in hand and making them see and believe that they two have no value. Because they are women, and women should always be subject to the desires of men. Because "like the needle of a compass always points north, and the finger of a man is always a woman."
The core of the work revolves around the bond they Mariam and Laila on the back of her husband in a situation that does not appear accommodate more than the darkness. Laila Mariam gives him the illusion, love, hope, and Laila Mariam brings to the serenity, support, shelter. Are shown each other that all is not lost for Afghan women. The future needs and the light shines at the end of the tunnel, albeit difficult to see.

I read A Thousand Splendid Suns in two days (much because I personally do not like to finish the book so quickly), and I think I spent two days crying. Crying for the cruelty that distills the pain, hopelessness, and impotence. Grateful to be born in Spain at a time when women did not serve only to mop. Empathizing with those who still persist in their struggle to show what they can do. Admired.

Eight out of ten Afghan women, today, victims of domestic violence and 60% are forced to marry before age 18. Still hears the word stoning, and many of them will be hidden under a burka . Long way to go, but I believe that one day their suffering will be rewarded.

Haven't Gotten Period In A While

"the bullet" by David Cossio Curro Jimenez

Taking advantage of the blog has two sections or sections with the names "Madelman" and "Gallery of Friends" is enough to put this post and house them in these sections.

I have a friend collector action figure, his name David Cossio (the photo) is also fond of the image and is experimenting lately with a Canon 5D Mark II.

this camera has made a short film with the title "projectile." I put the link, I think it's worth seeing, who played with madelman can bring them some souvenirs. The film lasts seven minutes and the picture quality is bestial. Since I can not upload it to the blog I put the link, enjoy it.

I always thought that an Apocalyptica concert had to be totally different from any other. What is, is an unparalleled experience and hilarious and I laugh at many groups with guitars and a singer, because these four, with cellos and charisma are able to encourage people far more than most.
a couple of months ago I spoke about what they are clean Muse live, today I add that, nevertheless, I do not like large concerts, and that what I really love is positioned as close to the stage, jumping, shouting and singing. That is without doubt one of the things I appreciate, having been in second row on Thursday, as these guys, especially Paavo (as I like screaming your name), know very well how to motivate the public, and interacted all the time us because, unlike many, there are those who take the stage, offering their music and that's it, but looking to get everyone involved and a good time. The truth is that I laughed a lot between the upset of the day (Perttu) shouting "Perkele!" Eicca trying to convince us how good the album, both giving us an interesting dose of fanservice and jumping Paavo lack of hair to shake.
musical level, is a real joy to be there before, to see how cellos are answered each other and hear the beautiful melodies that are performed by them. Spectacular live tremendously better than any record and well above most of the groups.
I think the song selection was appropriate, also taking into account the voice of Tipe Johnson, backing vocalist, who played End of me, I'm not Jesus , bring them to light and I do not care . I missed my favorite album, Not strong enough, but otherwise would have missed Brent Smith, and I would have liked them to play Life burns! , but, truth be heard live Bittersweet, Seek n destroy , Last hope , Refuse / Resist and all others far outweighs that. Uppercase are geniuses.
what else I can say that, with its hour and a half, I did not short at all, but was very intense and was very thorough. Okay, I would have loved to come back out and delight me with a few tracks, and still be there all night racking my throat, but I think it was a perfect extension.
chronicled here would close if there is no more, but there was. First, to comment that I liked very much the opening act, Livingston, and are lovely. They were there since the end of your hand, ready to chat with everyone and take pictures, and of course I have autographs and photos with them, until I came out to Jakob that looks like the BBC's Robin Hood: I had all the time thinking I could not resist. And I can not omit to Chris, who is the nicest.
also add that all Apocalyptica, Perttu including sleeper, deserves to take my hat (if any) because they came out tired and still took the time to take pictures and sign everyone, and I exchange a few words with them and with Tipe. They were lovely and I can not forget when I started with Eicca, put my arm back for the photo and the boy hugged me around the waist and pulled me closer to him, then wanted to say a thousand things that I admire, I think a genius, I clip with Brent Smith ... but I just went "You're the best" and his response was: "Yeah" (the "I know" I guess I decided to keep quiet XDDD). A Paavo was going to say what his name means in English, but then I did not dare, so I have had enough of Robin Hood. With Mikko was fun because while we approach another girl and me, and opened our arms as if to say: "Come to me, girls." And as for Perttu ... because we had waiting, the brave few who stayed there about an hour more than the rest because he was sleeping. In fact, they wanted to close the courtroom and had to wait for the gentleman, who, when he left, he asked us with your voice exhausted that we stopped going to take things to the bus and then return. Boy, turned silver pen in hand and eager to do the goose.
The two days in Madrid were truly memorable, and I have many anecdotes, like the meeting with Mr. Mario Vaquero, but Apocalyptica is best in a long time and not wait to return (or having money to travel) and go to see them again. Before he loved, now love with all my heart.


PD: It is still suspect that a member of his staff wearing a shirt of soft and they drink water Sousas . "I will find you one of these days by Ourense?

Simpsons Decline In Quality

KNIVES OF GUM GIRL


In the mid 70's and the hit series" Curro Jimenez " is pusienron to on sale at newsstands Facas these knives or plastic toys and trinkets home Sunday. Since it was a company that worked with low-cost items, had to adrle a name, a meaning to the blades, to avoid copyright and such things, lol. The house Sunday were called: "The knife ... "if! and ellipsis next to a picture that resembled Curro Jimenez, the child easily guessed that it was razor.

I remember in the sixties and early seventies, a good number of working-class men, have small pockets in the blades, which were used as tools for lunches on site, to sharpen sticks, for a thousand things ... Maybe it was the custom stronghold in Spain as navajera Curro Jimenez,

dedicated to Eusebio, a fellow madelman forum that has given me these three blade type Curro Jimenez, sales in the 70 kiosks.

Since Damel household name, is not nothing but Lady in Valencia. Ie "The Lady of Elche." The gum of a quarter smaller than Cheiw is spotless but very dry, so yeah! hehehe ... Too bad the two pesetas gum wrapper is more touched but nothing can require a gum that can be thirty or more years ...

Giant Bottle Of Patron

Fox Rain

How wonderful to sit and enjoy a good story. And, sometimes, how sad it is when it ends. I got to fall in love so this drama, I spent the morning crying to see the end. What you are dear, My Ho and Dae Woong. Thanks for having reached the heart.
