Summers always bear something fresh, cool, "in", or popular. This summer the movie screens have been showing some good material. I have heard a lot of people talking about the batman movie. I think they are rather overrating the movie, and I differ from their opinions. So far my favorite is "Step Brothers"... ok the humor in the movie can get a little annoying but if you know that you are going to watch a movie with Ferrell, then you should know that would be the case.
Moving on, I think by far the greatest clothing trend this summer was the Don Ed Hardy T-shirts by Christian Audigier. to be honest my first impression of the shirts was not the best, but I guess the gag is to wear an ugly t-shirt. Although that is my personal perception. Being cool has its costs, but I guess is worth it, for some anyway.
To wrap up the music recommendations I am going to give are the ones that I have under En Boga play list in my i-pod... I hope you enjoi:
Regina Spektor
Adele
MSTRKRFT
Wilco
M.I.A.
Mirah
Bia
Dj Brasco
PS I'll try to upload one of these artists' songs... soon

Faux étoiles
This is why I love Augsburg!
Because it has allow me to discover and exploit so many skills that I did realize I had.
These are some pictures inspired in Marcel Duchamp's conceptual art.
Enjoi!

Women
After reading Wabbage's last two post I came up with this response:
well to start with, I think comparing males and females is not always correct. The reason of that is that this world needs from each of them. They both contribute with a different essence to this world.
In response to the public recognition men vs women, one can see from historical point of view that it has not been long since women were allowed to do more things. So it is really going to take some time for that phenomena to become more of a 50/50. In my opinion women are rapidly getting up where to they have always deserve to be.
Regarding to the difference in expressing feelings, I first have to say that it is erroneous to say that all men and women are the same. Second of all, the reason for those various discrepancies in men's and women's behavior can be better explained biologically. However, I think that the problem with both of the sexes is that they set up determinism to what they should ought to be. That is they assign an essence to their existence when the fundamental human condition is the opposite. Again I think that if the general public thought more about of their circumstances and realize that change can happen in which ever way each one of them wants. It only takes initiative and consistency. Oh but what about feelings? I am going to twist a quote by Plato and say that "[feelings] are natural and inevitable" and in the same way was circumstances you can let your feelings control you or you can control your feelings. Of course there are some that are harder to keep down. At this point I don't want to seem inhuman, but like Buddha said just let go and everything will be fine. Anyway there is a lot of ways to asses this aspect of human nature, and I am using... you know what ha haha

You have "friends" I have Ideas
"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man."
-George Bernard Shaw
I think this pretty much answers a question previously posted in this blog. The question in hand was:
Do people change palaces, or do places change people?
On the one hand, Bernard's definition, I think a man has already acquire the use of reason. On the other hand, Sartre's definition says a man's radical freedom allows him to choose constantly what to do of himself. Lately I been thinking that it is up to a man or a woman to control their circumstances. That is knowing that present circumstances are impossible to modify, but that acting in the present will have an impact upon future circumstances. If you think you feel that freedom is a burden then I think you are letting circumstances dominate your radical freedom, thus making change impossible. In my philosophy of circumstantial existentialism I call that living inside systematic circumstances.
How do you live your life?

A different kind of business
After working for an insurance company, I have noticed that these companies have a lot in common with religions.
#1 They sell you salvation from catastrophe
#2 They say they will be there for you no matter what
#3 They guarantee that their financial vehicles are the only ones that can take you from point A to point B
#4 They judge other companies and point fingers in a dual standard manner
#5 They use your money to invest it in their best interest, not yours.
Any similarities with religious practices?
