Eduardo Galeano - El libro de los abrazos


"El amor es una enfermedad de las más jodidas y contagiosas. A los enfermos, cualquiera nos reconoce. Hondas ojeras delatan que jamás dormimos, despabilados noche tras noche por los abrazos, o por la ausencia de los abrazos, y padecemos fiebres devastadoras y sentimos una irresistible necesidad de decir estupideces.

El amor se puede provocar, dejando caer un puñadito de polvo de quereme, como al descuido, en el café o en la sopa o el trago. Se puede provocar, pero no se puede impedir. No lo impide el agua bendita, ni lo impide el polvo de hostia; tampoco el diente de ajo sirve para nada. El amor es sordo al Verbo divino y al conjuro de las brujas. No hay decreto de gobierno que pueda con él, ni pócima capaz de evitarlo, aunque las vivanderas pregonen, en los mercados, infalibles brebajes con garantía y todo."

Stop running from your problems. – Face them head on.  No, it won’t be easy.  There is no person in the world capable of flawlessl...

The Ostrich

A man walks into a restaurant with a full-grown ostrich behind him. The waitress asks them for their orders. The man says, "A hamburger, fries and a coke," and turns to the ostrich, "What's yours?" "I'll have the same," says the ostrich. A short time later the waitress returns with the order. "That will be $9.40 please." The man reaches into his pocket and pulls out the exact change for payment. The next day, the man and the ostrich come again and the man says, "A hamburger, fries and a coke." The ostrich says, "I'll have the same." Again the man reaches into his pocket and pays with exact change. This becomes routine until the two enter again. "The usual asks the waitress?" "No, this is F...
