Pointlessly refreshing gmail
As to reassure my few contacts with the outside world. I am in the world yet I am not. I am abroad yet I am not.
Then it is time to dedicate a song to my french navy. Thanks for stopping by at the port and bringing some news from afar and triggers some of the passion that's still within me. Short may it be, yet your collar brings forth the smell of fresh sea water. Your salute and serenade filled my heart with surprise tinted with rosy pink.

Broken Social Scene swim yonder.
This is my favourite BSS song. The intoxicating Emily and the casual beat. and the swimmer.
If you always get up late, you'll never be on time.
I saw you, you look like a swimmer.
I wanna, be with you all the time. why can't you... satisfy.
Coz I like you. I never see you.

Strange things happen
http://www.elmundo.es/elmundo/2010/04/18/espana/1271575021.html
Aena ha anunciado el cierre al tráfico aéreo del aeropuerto de Barcelona y de otros 14 aeródromos de Cataluña, Baleares y el norte peninsular como consecuencia de la nube de ceniza volcánica procedente de Islandia. Las operaciones se suspenderán hasta, al menos, las 20.00 horas de este domingo.
Icelandic volcanic eruption. It is really AT TIME LIKE THIS will we start to feel the relationship of us and the Earth. Nothing really bothers us until a certain natural disaster (a term that human created for any natural activity that interrupts our daily life) occurs, and we will then know that we are in big trouble.
To realize how trivial we are and how unbelievably irrelevant our concerns are is rather frustrating yet liberating.
Aena ha anunciado el cierre al tráfico aéreo del aeropuerto de Barcelona y de otros 14 aeródromos de Cataluña, Baleares y el norte peninsular como consecuencia de la nube de ceniza volcánica procedente de Islandia. Las operaciones se suspenderán hasta, al menos, las 20.00 horas de este domingo.
Los primeros aeropuertos cerrados este domingo a primera hora fueron 11: los de Barcelona, Girona, Reus, Sabadell, Asturias, Santander,Bilbao, San Sebastián, Vitoria, Pamplona, Logroño.
Más tarde, y debido al desplazamiento de la nube de ceniza volcánica, Aena amplió la lista con dos nuevos aeropuertos: los de Palma de Mallorca y Menorca . Asimismo, permanece cerrado el aeropuerto de Lleida, aunque éste no pertenece a la red de Aena.
El último aeropuerto en cerrar ha sido el de Zaragoza. Con esta decisión se han visto afectados siete vuelos que tenían previsto despegar durante la jornada de este domingo y otros siete de llegada a la capital aragonesa. Se calcula que el aeropuerto permanecerá cerrado hasta las 09.00 horas del lunes, pero todo depende de la evolución de la nube de cenizas.
Aena recomienda a los pasajeros que tengan previsto volar desde o hacia los destinos afectados que no acudan a los aeropuertos y se informen del estado de sus vuelos con sus compañías aéreas. Iberia ha decidido cancelar todos lo vuelos programados con los aeropuertos del norte y centro de Europa para este domingo debido.
Esta medida, tomada en coordinación con Eurocontrol -el organismo europeo que coordina el tráfico aéreo- supone el cierre del espacio aéreo en los sectores afectados, ya que la nube de ceniza no permite realizar sobrevuelos por debajo de 35.000 pies de altura.
En total Aena ha cancelado hasta las 10.00 horas de este domingo 1.375 vuelos (681 llegadas y 694 salidas) con destino o procedencia deAlemania, Austria, Bélgica, Bulgaria, Croacia, Dinamarca, Eslovaquia, Eslovenia, Estonia, Finlandia, Francia, Holanda, Hungría, Italia, Luxemburgo, Irlanda, Noruega, Polonia, Serbia, Suecia, Reino Unido, República Checa, Suiza, Rumania y Ucrania.
El número de vuelos programados para todo este domingo entre aeropuertos de Aena y los países europeos afectados es de 2.136.
La decisión de este domingo sigue a la del cierre de este sábado de siete aeropuertos del Norte peninsular por espacio de una hora, ante la evolución de la nube de ceniza volcánica, aunque no hubo limitaciones de espacio aéreo porque el límite de altura estuvo en los 25.000 pies.
La comisión que desde este sábado, fecha de su constitución, viene realizando un seguimiento exhaustivo de la evolución de los aeropuertos y adoptando las medidas necesarias, continúa este sábado su trabajo analizando los últimos datos sobre la evolución de la nube volcánica y su impacto en los aeropuertos españoles.
La comisión está presidida por el ministro de Fomento, José Blanco y formada por la secretaria de Estado de Transportes, Concepción Gutiérrez; el secretario general de Relaciones Institucionales y Coordinación, Fernando Puig; el director general de Aviación Civil,Manuel Ameijeiras; el presidente de Aena, Juan Lema; y la presidenta de Aesa, Isabel Maestre.

La voz.
Nneka- Africans
It is this voice that brings my day to a period. I enjoyed the melody and rhythm but is somehow restless with the lyrics. It is easier to blame on irrevocable behaviors of someone else. Oh the irresistible blaming.
U keep pushing the blame on our colonial fathers
U say they came and they took all we had pocessed
They have to take the abuse that they have caused our present state with their intruding history
Use our goodness and nourishment in the Name of missionary
Lied to us,blinded slaved us,misplaced us,strengthen us,hardened us then
they replaced us now we got to learn from pain
Now it is up to us to gain some recognition
If we stopp blaming we could get a better condition
Wake up world!!
Wake up and stop sleeping
Wake up africa!!
Wake up and stop blaming
Open ur eyes!!
Stand up and rise
Road block oh life penalty

Youtubers
youtube is full of surprises, lately I've been obsessed with this comedy group, they invite people around US to tell them about their local business stores, and they would make a commercial for them for free, good intention, good content, hilarious plots, I just simply fell in love with them right away. Not to mention they're all fathers of 2 or 3 kids.
Painfully honest commercial, coolest redneck.

咖啡與西班牙
酗咖啡了。原來咖啡會上癮是真的。
我記得開始認真每天喝咖啡是從在公關公司的時候開始的，
每天都需要一杯7-11的咖啡讓自己清醒，而且不知怎地看起來也比較專業。
那時後喝的總是又甜又加了一堆香料的咖啡，與其說是喝咖啡不如說是喝
加了咖啡的奶茶。一杯咖啡是1/10的espresso跟甜牛奶。
到了政大之後，公家的果然不一樣，咖啡無限供應，豆子不夠了叫辦公室買，
但是因為過了正常的生活，每天早上起床都精神飽滿，對咖啡的需求不強烈。
但是我想是這個時候我開始喝黑咖啡，豆子的香味讓我說話時有種專業人士的氣味。
我一直覺得咖啡跟工作脫離不了關係，要開始工作就得用咖啡澆醒腦神經。
到了現在也還是一樣，一個人每天用摩卡壺煮了espresso，咕嚕咕嚕連著兩杯，
配點牛奶就喝了。喝完之後思緒開始啓動，精神都來了，開始面對無止盡的paper
還有無止盡的社交生活，和我不太在乎的人交談，維持友好關係，誰知道會從哪
得到什麼資訊，搞不好留在歐洲的夢想就靠這些人了。
去loreal面試的時候，我緊張的不得了，免費供應的咖啡我連喝了五杯，
緊張感沒有消逝，反而手微微顫抖，面試結束後五個小時都還在心悸。
不太知道自己的界限在哪，但是設了界限之後又常會不小心打破。
我又開始寫網誌了，因為發現自己真的很少練習，結果paper都寫不出來，
十五頁的paper其實很快，但我卻把他鎖在資料夾深處碰也不想碰。
下兩個禮拜有semana santa西班牙放假，貢獻給paper了，
一直慫恿愛薄來找我，但是他的回答又讓我陷入低潮，不停的負面，
突然想起來為什麼那時後會分開，但我好像又做了一樣的決定，放寬心才是真的。
很想為他想，我也了解他的心情，但是什麼都不做又這樣隨性，
到底是有沒有心啊。
所以大家沒事可以看網誌，我會把我聽到的歌都放在那裡，現在努力尋找巴斯克當地樂團，
Bilbao在Pais Vasco，大部份的人說西班牙文，新一代的孩子上課用Euskara，
當地方言，據說是歐洲最古老的語言之一，跟拉丁語系一點關係都沒有，
跟匈牙利語還反而比較相近。也因此這裡當地人有強烈的群體意識，
語言人口分布西班牙北部及法國南部，國家的界限是模糊的，因為人是流動的。
西班牙是個很奇妙的國家，每個地區彼此的差異性很大，有時候互相討厭，
愛薄老家在sevilla，南部的andalucia充斥著大部份人對西班牙的刻板印象，
鬥牛、佛朗明哥、tapas、古典吉他、陽光、棕欖樹、熱情的當地人。
北部人的性格接近歐洲北邊國家，認真、有效率、較嚴肅但有禮，
常常下雨，工業發達、現代、等等。
南部與北部的人互相討厭，北部覺得南部人懶惰不工作(我得說看人但大部份
時候的確是如此，上次去sevilla找愛薄，跟他朋友出來下午喝點小酒，siesta
對他朋友而言從下午一點開始一直到傍晚五點，喝完微醺，他朋友回去辦公室交代一下，
又出來去一間flamenco bar聊天喝酒吃tapas，所以西班牙失業率才會高達20%？？
南部人覺得北部人無聊，只會工作，陰沈、冷漠，沒有西班牙文化。
某種程度上也是事實，Bilbao是個工業城市，直到古根漢美術館開始，
這個城市才復活。為了紀念當初的工業背景，許多公共設施仍然有著當年的影子，
街燈用的材料是船底部的鐵板，鋪上鏽色。
繼續發掘這個國家，充滿驚喜和特色。

Exclusion and Inclusion
Inter personal relationship is something profound and mystical.
I don't remember the last time feeling excluded, probably in high school. It is obvious, it is very distinctive. Distance can be placed and felt. From the eye contacts and the passive activities on facebook you can feel it.
I do not understand the need to creating such small groups. This is absolutely annoying when you're being drawn onto the other side of the circle.
however, this seems to be a necessary method to protect us from spending too much time socializing I guess? According to the economy principles.
Is it fair to use such principles to dissect all human behavior? Isn't this a way more complex dimension and mechanism that's in function?
Oh i wonder and wonder. What will it be like when I am left in the intersection outside of all bubbles. Is that the time for people to feel lonely? Or we don't really need such extremity to reach such a state?
Oh questions and questions without answers. This is not what an academic should do. We're here to find answers. But when we are entering a world without an answer. What is left? If not the emptiness and frustration that tore us in two.
