Stirner 0, Housemartins 4

Maldigo la rutina. Maldigo aún más el efecto anestésico que provoca. Maldigo la espiral viciosa en que se convierte. Maldigo el insoportable peso del hábito. No hay nada nuevo a la vista. No hay nada. No entiendo como la gente sobrelleva esta tediosa monotonía.

Algo así me bailaba por la cabeza el otro día, es un suceso no poco frecuente en mi y algo que me agobia, que no me gusta. Acostumbro a tomármelo todo con cierto estoicismo, a verlo en perspectiva y siempre con una cierta y asumida resignación. Pero hay veces que el desánimo le puede a uno. En estos momentos uno toma dos vías, sumirse en el lodo y revolcarse en él hasta que cataliza esa angustia o, por contra, intenta sublimarlo a través de algún aliciente. Por la immediatez se tiende a recurrir en estos casos al cine o a la música. Aquel día como remedio me ví, sin darme cuenta, poniendo el London 0, Hull 4 de los Housemartins: "ellos me animaran un poco" me dije. Iluso.

Nunca antes me había fijado en lo deprimentes de las letras de este disco y como paradójicamente la alegría de sus (algunas)melodías contrasta enormemente con el contenido de las composiciones. Happy Hour (que título tan irónico), un tio esclavizado por el trabajo, con un sueldo mísero, que no se come un torrado y además tiene que soportar al fanfarrón de su jefe y sus compañeros de trabajo. Después unas cuantas canciones cantando las miserias del capitalismo, las desigualdades que existen y la apatía REAL de la gente enfrente de éstas. Y, finalmente, la puntilla: Think for a minute!.

Something's going on, a change is taking place
Children smiling in the street have gone without a trace
This street used to be full, it used to make me smile
And now it seems that everyone is walking single file

And many hand their heads in shame
That used to hold them high
And those that used to say hello
Simply pass you by

Think for a minute, Stop for a minute
Think for a minute, Stop for a minute

I always said it could, they never though it would
The people look so pitiful, I'm thinking that it should
And now it's almost here, now its on its way
I can't help saying told you so and have a nice final day

And nothing I could say
Could ever make them see the light
Now apathy is happy that
It won without a fight

Think for a minute, Stop for a minute
Think for a minute, Stop for a minute

And many hang their heads in shame that used to hold them high
{Think for a minute}
And those that used to say hello simply pass you by
{Stop for a minute}

Think for a minute, Stop for a minute
Think for a minute, Stop for a minute

Pues eso, la alegría de la huerta: "now apathy is happy that it won without a fight", justo lo que necesitaba oir hoy.

Me voy a escuchar a Torrebruno y su "Rocky Chaparro", ese sí sabía lo que era dar ánimos. Al menos de niño es lo que escuchaba y no tenía ninguna crisis de éste tipo. Aunque, ahora que lo pienso, ¿no será lo de ahora consecuencia de haber escuchado en su tiempo incansdablemente la cassette de Torrebruno?

Dudosos y apáticos saludos desde mi gris redil.

Bueno, los Housemartins siempre fueron una banda muy rojeras, y algunas de sus canciones van claramente dirigidas contra el thatcherismo que se vivió en la Inglaterra de los 80. No es posible significarse políticamente hablando siempre bien de alguien, por fuerza se dicen pestes de los contrarios en algún momento, y como aún no había un Bleeeewwr entre los laboristas...

Ya, ya. Si más claro que el "Take Jesus, take Marx, take Hope" que aparece al final del librillo del CD nada.

Una frase que, dicho sea de paso, ya da qué pensar, ¿no?

Me encanta ese magnífico disco. Pero tengo la suerte de no entender ni papa de inglés. Así que seguira pareciéndome un lp alegre. Por lo demá, ánimo Stirner, que a lo mejor en su casa se obra el milagro. Reecuerda lo que le pasó a Malta.

Yo te mandaría una temporada a una de mis nenas, desaparecía la apatía en tu vida pero ya, eso sí, tampoco tendrías tiempo para nada más...

Un beso.

Bueno beaumont aún no he conocido a un marxista con vena poética, aunque haberlos hailos.

Joe, yo de Malta lo único que recuerdo fue un 12-1 que le endosó España, y jugaban Rincón y Señor...

Helena, gracias por el ofrecimiento pero tengo suficiente con aguantar a mi sobrino de 7 años de vez en cuando.

Un/a saludo/a a/o todos/as.

A ver si actualizamos. Pon una foto de ese maravilloso pueblo donde vives, y si es de los bloques o de la puerta del Tifus mejor que mejor.

Watch this One to Trad,e!

Because, EGTY has secured the global rights to market
genetically enhanced fast growing, hard-wood trees!

EGTY trading volume is beginning to surge with landslide Announcement.

===============
"BREAKING NEWS"
===============

-Energy and Asset Technology, Inc. (EGTY) owns a global license to market
the genetically enhanced Global Cedar growth trees, with plans to
REVOLUTIONIZE the forest-timber industry.

These newly enhanced Globa| Cedar trees require only 9-12 years of growth
before they can be harvested for lumber, whereas worldwide growth time for
lumber is 30-50 years.

Other than growing at an astonishing rate, the Global Cedar has a number
of other benefits. Its natural elements make it resistant to termites, and
the lack of oils and sap found in the wood make it resistant to forest fire,
ensuring higher returns on investments.
T
he wood is very lightweight and strong, lighter than Poplar and over twice
as strong as Balsa, which makes it great for construction. It also has
the unique ability to regrow itself from the stump, minimizing the land and
time to replant and develop new root systems.

Based on current resources and agreements, EGTY projects revenues of $140
Million with an approximate profit margin of 40% for each 9-year cycle. With
anticipated growth, EGTY is expected to challenge Deltic Timber Corp. during
its initial 9-year cycle.

Deltic Timber Corp. currently trades at over $38.00 a share with about $153
Million in revenues. As the reputation and demand for the Global Cedar tree
continues to grow around the world EGTY believes additional multi-million
dollar agreements will be forthcoming. The Global Cedar nursery has produced
about 100,000 infant plants and is developing a production growth target of
250,000 infant plants per month.

Energy and Asset Technology is currently in negotiations with land and business
owners in New Zealand, Greece and Malaysia regarding the purchase of their popular
and profitable fast growing infant tree plants. Inquiries from the governments of
Brazil and Ecuador are also being evaluated.

Conclusion:

The examples above show the Awesome, Earning Potential of little
known Companies That Explode onto Investor�s Radar Screens.
This s-t0ck will not be a Secret for long. Then You May Feel the Desire to Act Right
Now! And Please Watch This One Trade!!
