1984

The Party said that Oceania had never been in alliance with Eurasia. He, Winston Smith, knew that Oceania had been in alliance with Eurasia as short a time as four years ago. Bit where did that knowledge exist? Only in his own consciousness, which in any case must soon be anihilated. And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed - if all records told the same tale- then the lie passed into history and became truth. "Who controls the past," ran the Party slogan, "controls the future: who controls the present controls the past". And yet the past, though of its nature alterable, never had been altered. Whatever was true now was true from everlasting to everlasting. It was quite simple. All that was needed was an unending series of victories over your own memory. "Reality contol", they called it: in Newspeak, "doublethink".

(George Orwell's 1984)

Where else?

It had been much long since the last time he had laughed so hard and so sincerely. He could not even remember a moment he could say it was a "happy moment". Long after his father's dead, he could stare at the window and say "finally". There was nothing else but rain and darkness beyond the window-pane. However, he was the only and sufficient light in the room.

Maybe someday he could be remember that significant moment, yet since then on he lived his life in conscious of every step he took, every memory he made,

When is it time to leave? When is it time to arrive?
Is there any time to leave or arrive? Or even to get used to thinking of belonging somewhere? There are some times when you get some habits: of being with friends, of being with someone you love. Or maybe that's just a misunderstood feeling or idea it's been coming and going in and out of your head.
I don't want to know what is over, what is done. I just want to celebrate and live my life, but I need to think about the future meanwhile, and later realise what you really deserve, the things you deserve, and the other "stuff" that just has to happen. I want to deserve all of those (good) things and get over the rest of obstacles. Yes, I need more, I want more, and I'm never going to stop until I get it.

Never say never

It's that kind of feeling you can never describe. Yes, that feeling. Technically, it's not an only one. It is, basically, a conjunction of many and completely different emotions. They run through your head and torture your body and mind simultaneously, gathering all of those memories that keep your eye awake. They remind you of all those things you've done that you don't regret, but wouldn't repeat nor remember.
Standing still is a tough exercise of endurance. Moving on or staying in is not one's choice but everyone's.

We are everything we need...

Ayer tenía ganas de seguir caminando por la calle, de noche. Me estaba gustando el transcurrir del tiempo, a pesar de algún encuentro extraño. (The Catalyst - Linkin Park) Estuvimos al lado del Wamá, Peitos, Escalera... y estuvimos más de una hora en la Plaza del Hierro con las cervezas del Bar Montederramo.
Ahora estoy pensando en qué puedo hacer esta tarde, qué no hacer, a quién llamar, a quién no; dónde descansar, dónde pasar el resto de minutos, horas que se transcurren, unas veces inexorablemente rápido y otras que parecen estancadas, que deciden hacerte sufrir por decisiones que hayas tomado, tanto equivocadas como impropias de ti y que más de una vez deseas volver a tomar para no confundirte esta vez.

Pero esa es la "gracia" de sólo vivir una vez. No sería justo para con nadie, ni siquiera contigo mismo, vivir más de una vez tu vida (o al menos, recordándolo). (Bumpy Ride - Mohombi)

Y es que creía que podía cambiar el mundo de las palabras, pero no puedo hacer nada. Creía que podía transmitir un mensaje, MI mensaje; ahora dudo tener un mensaje, sea cual fuere.
