I'm Republican
Today is the Day of the Spanish Republic, but this fact has been overshadowed by the issue of Judge Garzon.
Far from wanting to get into eleven staff shirts, I just want to express my displeasure at the idea that it is reached to pursue, criticize and try to uncover who squander the truth of history, persecuted and pursued by a large group, though he despite 'the usual' and that both asquito give me.
I am Republican, but I have her love to our King, I must confess. But even still, I like to stand up for what I believe, and obviously, for logical reasons.
I have to thank Naruedyoh to collect links which allowed me to read the following sentences, which then pick up, and could not better express what I feel:
"That we have a king is irrelevant when we have hundreds of politicians who live like kings"

"When it comes to boosting the Third Republic, it is not only replacing the monarchy with a republic, is spoken throughout a project to promote more comprehensive policy that includes federalism, secularism, a more just social laws that hinder corruption , a participatory democracy, etc. And all this is reflected in the tricolor, which is representing the political ideal is republicanism, against the current monarchist flag, representing the old state of the 1978 constitution, adopted after a dictatorship in which the army guard was still not approve anything 'dangerous'.

As I said on Twitter, this world is going to hell, and apparently seen the first thing you will begin to exploit this country is going to be. For the record, said it is not all that stinks .
KDD 2009 Hanami
Posted in Personal , Travel Japan in April 2009 on April 13, 2010
A year ago, during the trip to Japan , I decided that after much reading the blog of Uncle Tosca , well worth being with him and would guide us on what to see and where (muhahaha).
We try to agree a date, but it only came Toscano the day we arrived, so we discarded the first, since we had another mini-KDD. The poor man was doing as guide to other friends who had come, and I was super busy, and therefore stressed.
Finally, in a brief e-mail read by accidents of fate, just changing our planning to attend a Hanami in Shinjuku Gyoen. I never regret such a change!
We arrived late at the site in question, but thanks to Athletic Bilbao shirt Tosca could find easily. It was a wonderful experience. I forgot that I was a foreigner to start feeling a real Japanese. My first Hanami ... where I met wonderful people. (Nere, I still remember the Kretek, and I still find xDD)
[Anyone who is recognized in the photos, which do not have from my contacts, do not hesitate to contact me to view e-mail/blog/twitter. I am eager to resume contact]
We started biting and drinking a little here and there, to end up playing a few games to Jungle Speed. Despite having the basic game at home had long since I played, and was a surprise that Lorco counted with the expansions of the game, which adds a new challenge in play: the figure you get confused half the time. Is so like the condemned!
After taking a few photographs in the park, we realized that we ran the food, so it was decided to go buy more. However, the decision was in vain because they threw us out of the enclosure (it was closing time of Shinjuku Gyoen)
So the small group walked towards the Yasukuni (the controversial temple). We had dinner there on one of those typical stalls and did some sightseeing in the area.
Finally the glorious day, nothing better than seeing the cherry trees surrounding the Imperial Palace, illuminated in the dark and magical night and embraced by the tumultuous crowd loaded with cameras.
Maybe someone does not look like anything spectacular, but for me it was a day to remember.
Greetings and thanks to everyone who made this day possible.
1 year later ...

It's been a year of adventure for Allende land, and I still feel that feelings remain close.
Their sounds and smells still evoke passions in my memory, despite stimulating my senses have gone out long ago.
The memories are not forgotten.
Neither the people I know or I would have liked to find.
The desire to return have found no substitute.
. . .
I love it. When can I start to enjoy its people and its peculiarity? Hopefully soon ...
Rioja Logo Vote Party @ 2010
Posted in Personal , Rioja @ Party on March 21, 2010
Now open for voting to choose a logo Rioja @ Party this year.
After a setback, finally my 'super'-logo is exactly as I created. I ask your help to be eligible for the award, reaching the final of voting.
My logo is the number 20. It is the first time I have participated, and the truth I am very maimed esque graphic design this, but hey, I try, that's what matters, "ne?
Why a banana? My good friend Haro Wanchope gave the name 'Banana Republic', although on this occasion, better to call it 'R EPUBLIC latanera P'. Pilláis "the joke, right?
Let it be clear that the contest take me seriously. I'm not trying to blow it or anything like that. All designs are entirely in SVG, as dictated by the rules (and therefore anything can be turned-editable-changeable-editable, resizable), and knowing the limitations, just different colors, but I allowed myself the license to place a gradient blur, but as I said, delete period.
I just hope that no one would give to paint a pink banana ...: P

This country makes me sick. And it is only by adopting such laws that ignore the protests citizens, forgetting that there is democracy, or those being left-wing politicians that they behave more right hand to right itself, or because the church continue to have an unexpected importance in a state considered secular, or because 'blacklisted' persist in collecting money to charity galas , because this society is far from progressive, retains an archaic and retrograde mind refuses to think logically and act accordingly. Everyone is satisfied with the 'Bread and Circus', accustomed to the' Charanga and Tambourine. "Ashamed to be Spanish.
And to top it off, for once parliament hears the views of citizens , to which represents inmediantamente then create debates and disagreements about it. Long live democracy and freedom of expression! And as expected, do not miss " The 'silly' on call 'coming out in defense of the indefensible, and that settles the issue with four nonsense, contradicting the views with defenses no arguments.
We are crabs. We give a step forward and three backwards.
Disgust and shame me having to criticize something that is defended in a way so irrational as it is known that music soothes the savage beast, and any message is conveyed better with melody, I'd rather listen to the following three issues SKA-P rather than continue talking:
[They are not the only anti-bullfighting songs ]
"The Bulls are part of Spanish culture? We are not the only country in the world where bullfights are held, but we are of the few (or should I say only?) In which they kill the bulls in the bullring. The show does not have to lead to bloodshed. Stop disguising the truth, is not culture, is murder. Because something is carried by 'life' does not necessarily mean it's good, or okay.
And when the music is not enough, it is better to see some images that will impact you and make you think at the moment:
The Bulls also are living beings, and feel, paced, and SUFFER!
NO TO bullfights!
Concert: Beethoven R + Insomnia
Posted in Music on February 23, 2010
On Saturday February 20, the new youth association Mirandesa Hammer of Thor, of which I am partner, lost her virginity when preparing their first concert with Beethoven R and Insomnia as guests.
Although fewer people attend than expected, the truth is that we could not complain. A pity, but with rationale, and that same day there were concerts of Vinnie Moore, and Pat Menehy Saratoga in Barakaldo, Vitoria and Logroño, respectively. Perhaps this was why they will miss a handful of people who do not often lose these 'sheds' I guess for the next concert (howitzer, this coming March 20) will be many more people.
The association managed to cover expenses and make a profit of 200 €, which may seem insignificant, I think I can not complain.
The atmosphere during the 3 hour concert was most familiar, and so it seems, much as Beethoven R Insomnia felt super comfortable with us, and that family environment is inviting you to relax. I hope this will facilitate other groups to hire ^ - ^.
That day I could not devote myself to photography, but from now on will not break my reflex concerts.
On the 2 groups, I can only take my hat (if carried). Some excellent performances.
Insomnia, despite being a young group, and have a mixture of members of diverse cultures: visual-emo-punk-rock-metal, they did great. And that did not receive a hard! xD
I'd like to give publicity to a few songs up ... but are attached to the SGAE, because as that from xD.
And what about Beethoven R ! Although they know Desce many years, I have not heard in depth, except the typical songs. This time they were on tour promoting his latest album "... Better late than never!" And the truth that his staging was brutal. I can not even imagine what might have become had brought, as we said at the end of his manager, his fire show. Next time, maybe, hehe.
Discuss who was the birthday of Moreno, bassist, and they even sang happy birthday! One in two in Castilian and Euskera, to give emotion and welcome xDD.
I invite you to see Howitzer + Dinky Dau on March 20, and his first festival on April 10. Do not miss it!

Photowalk: Miranda Nevada
Posted in Photography , Personal on January 23, 2010
These past weeks we have had to endure an unusual amount of snowfall. Curiously, each time I started to snow in my area, someone also said that it snowed twitter wherever he was, either Barcelona, Bilbao ... or Tokyo. The truth is that it was quite funny to see that everyone complained about the same at the same time.
Everyone was crazy about showing the pictures of snow-covered town where most of the time was pretty ridiculous the amount of problems that can give a layer of 5 inches of snow.
This is usually not much snow. But it seems that this year the microclimate of Miranda has changed, and we have had a 'famous' snow. In the last 20 years it had snowed so once or twice at most. Not that snow are spectacular, but enough to run out of class for a week, either because studying abroad, or because your teachers were out. This time, the height reached did not exceed 15 inches in some areas, but in others I remember we came to the knees.
I hope you like my selection of photographs. Also you can still see pictures of my snow-covered town snooping on my Flickr account. There are some very amazing and fun, which does not extend far the entrees, I preferred not to publish them here.
