9 de abril 1948 el dia que se jodio colombia

9 de Abril, una fecha que debemos recordar toda nuestra vida. El caudillo del pueblo, Jorge Eliecer Gaitan habia sido asesinado una lluviosa y sucia tarde de abril. Eso dia nos jodimos, o mejor nos jodieron. Desde ese dia, este pais, olvidado por Dios se desangra en un guerra civil. De esos tiempos se recuerda la lucha entre Liberales y Conservadores, ese tiempo se ha llamado 'la violencia'. La gran mayoria de Colombianos somos descendientes de esa generacion tragica, de esa generacion que hizo del imperio de la muerte su pan diario. Hoy en dia, los protagonistas han cambiando, Ya no son Rojos a Azules (ahora son uno solo, corruptos politicos que negocian nuestra riqueza al calor de un whiskey mal habido). Ahora son paramilitares, narcotraficantes y guerrilla, todos hambriento de un poder que el 'oro blanco' les proporciona. Solo una cosa no cambia, la victima. Recordemos esta fecha con tristeza pero tambien con valor para cambiar un pais del que ya nadie se acuerda, de un pais que solo figura en las paginas rojas de la prensa mundial, de un pais gobernado por criminales y terroristas de ultra-derecha. De una nacion que no se merece a sus dirigentes. -asi dia a dia los siga eligiendo. Quien mato a Gaitan?... Juan Roa Sierra figurara los anaqueles de la Justicia como el hombre que perpetro un crimen que a muchos les convenia. Por que no reafirmar lo que ya es harto sabido por nosotoros?... Existio la mano negra de la CIA en procura de arradicar de su patio de recreo cualquier sombra de Socialismo?... Si, y encontro en sus politicos corruptos los socios adecuados para marcar con sangre a toda una nacion.

Pica aca para leer una resena hecha por Eduardo Galeano sobre el 9 de Abril.

Volan's last will.

This is a picture of the envelope I received. On September the 29th I received a letter sent from London Metropolitan Police’s forensic department. The envelope contains Volan’s death report. I am still recovering from such a terrible moment. As Volan’s closest (and perhaps sole) friend I am in the obligation of publishing these lines on his own blog, as it was his last will. In strange circumstances my dearest friend Volan passed away in the dawn of the 23rd of September in Homerton Hospital in London. His body was carted off from the churchyard of Saint Paul’s Cathedral after a mad night out with Siobhan (Sweeny), -an Irish-Scottish blues singer whose Volan had just met few hours before in the surrounding areas of Anexo Bar, close to Farringdon Station. At the moment that the ambulance arrived at the place Volan showed a critical state and almost without vital signals dying a while after indoors, in the above mentioned hospital. The death certificated shows a very cryptic language ...

It's so cool to use NIKE.

"The year is 1987 and NASA launches the last of America's deep space probes. In a freak mishap Ranger 3 and its pilot, Captain William 'Buck' Rogers, are blown out of their trajectory into an orbit which freezes his life support systems and returns Buck Rogers to Earth 500 years later." The excerpt above is from the introduction of a classic TV program. In 1979 Universal Studios released a motion picture named " Buck Rogers in the 25th Century ", also it was a series TV based on the original movie released by NBC for two seasons between 1979 and 1981. As usual all this junk came over the "Deep South" to enliven the existence of millions of children whose, eventually, were victimised during the horrible, wasted, hated, and moreover unforgettable 80's. Gill Gerard played as Captain William Buck Rogers and Erin Gray as Colonel Wilma Deering. A lovely home-made character was the star of this sci-fi series (alright! some people may think...
