First, a typo correction: on my previous post it should say 150000 copies, not 350000.
Second, it seems the article will never see the light. For lack of economical support, the section abotu under where it was going to be was cancelled. Ebil not supportive announcers!
So, tell me I'm not the greatest, cause my ego is getting big enough to cover the whole country :D
As most of you must know, I publish a humor fanzine with 3 of my friends. We've been going at it for six years. We also, along with a 4th friend, write things for radio, act the radio plays, have done a couple of short films (one minute one, 5 minutes the other), we are preparing a theater play (well, a friend wrote it and maybe one day we'll rehearse it :P ) and several things more. we have formed a humor group or something like that, and we want to work in almost any media. We are currently preparing a folder full of stuff to give to several producers.
Anyway, that's the explanation, now the big part: this last monday we were interviewed. That in itself isn't so big, since we have had several interviews, but always for small independent media, like fanzines or neighbourhood radios or tv channels (I count them: I've been interviewed 13 times, counting the Herald one). What's big this time is that we were interviewed for a newspaper that is the 5th or 6th most read on the country, with something like 350.000 copies edited every day. It's for the young culture section or something like that.
We were talking with the guy from the paper like 45 minutes, 30 of which were recorded and the rest just talking about anything. They won't publish the interview itself, probably, but a small chronicle. I don't think it will be very big, but... well, it's our first really mediatic apparition. Yes, I'm excited about it :D
It should be published this saturday (that can always change) and I'll surely give the link for the digital version if it is.
On a different note, the same day I was a piketeer for a while. There was a protest near the place I was working and to get to the place where the interview was I had to walk in the same direction the protesters were going. So I joined their ranks for 3 blocks or so.
Oh, and also, today it's Friend's Day in Argentina, so a Happy Day to everybody that deserves it... and to the rest too ;)
LOL Fantastic post from [hanhepi]
umm.. his middle name was Hyrahm. (sp?)(or possibly Hershile(sp?) or Horatio(sp) as well.) its a little known historical fact. *cough*
i mean, he had to have a middle name, otherwise his mom couldnt yell at him when he was being bad. (which according to one of the Apocrypha, he was bad a lot as a kid.) Mary had to stand at the door of whereever they were living and yell "Jesus! Jesus Hyrahm of Nazereth! get your skinny behind in this house this instant! dont make me call your father! the lightning scares the neighbors. i'm going to count to 3. one.. Jesus Hyram Nazerene!!, i'm not kidding! twooo..."
How many flies does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
2, but don't you wonder how they got in there?
Why did I put that there? Why not?
Ok, the new Pope already declared himself against homosexuals and anticonceptive
Second, lately I've been seeing more nazi paintings on the streets than before.
Third, nobody seems to be brave enough to tell Fionna Apple that she has to open her mouth to sing "Accross the Universe". Listening to her it's like a torture. And a slow one.
As I already said to a dear person, am I the only one who can hear the society slowly sinking? :P
My computer was "broken" for 4 days. I took it to the shop. It turns out it wasn't broken at all. Last time I trust my family about its powersource. Next time I'll check it myself. :P
Ok, my life just got really complicated and really busy. I just got confirmation on a translation of a 40000 words long manual. I'm not sure when is the deadline, but it can't be more than one month away. Plus, this morning I got a mail telling me that I need to finish the 3000 lines article I'm working onfor this weekend. I have written 900 lines. It wouldn't be a lot, if it wasn't that I'm working double shift on the comic book shop this week. All that means that I should be working a lot the next month. And I should take an exam at the same time. And I need to study. Damn, it won't be easy.
My Et time may feel it a little, but since I can work and be online at the same time, it probably won't be so much. Still, don't expect a lot from me.
Let's destroy things. Let's burn down society. Let's undertand that world doesn't work, that institutions are a cancer most of the time and that the good never win. Let's see how war, prejudice and racism are always one or two steps ahead of us... and we can loose the faith in the world. Because it doesn't work, simple as that. Because if you can see a beggar in the street and bombs falling in another country, embassies destroyed by terrorism and lifes destroyed by terrorism de etat, while people keep laughing at any stupid remark that comes from Tv, then we are lost. Cause if any news channel from the world has more capacibility to lead the minds than reality itself, then we are lost. Cause if destroying and burning seem to be both the problem and the solution, we are lost. Cause if rage mark my words, I am lost.
There's no point in believing in human beings as a race when they keep showing you how bad they can be. There's no point, but you still I can't not believe in individuals. Collectives are a nightmare, in most cases. People is good, unless they are a lot.
Idiocy wins any war and never loses. There's just too many out there and too little we can do about it. Is there any point in even trying? If you have the answer, let me know.
Demons aren't ussually as bad as they are painted. Except when they come from what we are as a society, from the way we relate one with the other and from how much we can make our peers suffer. And those are the only real demons that affect humans as group. Internal demons can be fought, but they are our demons, not the demons of a whole city, country, world, universe. There seems to be no hope against them
If somebody cares, I'm not ok. I don't feel right. I'm sad, depressed and I think the world doesn't give a shit about me. I have good friends who show that they are to me all the time, yet I feel unloved and left on one side, both here and in the real world. As I said, it's probably not true, but sometimes feelings can't be fought with logic (I do that most of the time, I'm a logical person. Sometimes it's jsut too much). It's sad to ahve teenage angs at this age.
And that closeness of feeling to the skin has me filled with rage about how fucked up the world and the human beings can be. That's the only explanation of the previous paragraph.
Sorry to those of you that may read this and think that it's just some stupid call for attention. But I needed to take some things from my chest.
I'm having computer problems!!! Stupid computers! Stupid problems! Stupid having! Stupid Flanders!
One of the vbest posts I've ever seen.
From Deiscorides.
I usually keep a yellow inflatable ducky inner tube, like >the kind for a pool. So, when I get stuck in the rain on ->the corner waiting for someone I can always blow up the >yellow ducky and wear it while waiting. It's never a dull >moment after that.

Too funny
Herald deadlines are real killers.
The night befiore the deadline, I wrote a movie review, a humor article, watched a movie and then reviewed it, in something like 2 hours, 2 hours and a half. I think time stopped somewhere in the middle. I can't understand how I got it all done if it didn't.
