I'm more and more unpleasantly impressed by the ultra en-vogue "artist" who Freddie Mercury or Queen inspired, called herself Lady "Gaga". I won't comment on her "message" who the great (mostly proper, less figurative) Stephen Fry understood, and not making a living from writing newspaper profiles, accepted to interview the "phenomenon", the "leader of a generation" of whom without shame adores, because, as he and his partner know, and her critics know as well, she is the voice of the ugly, the … [Read more...]

Let’s “Regulate”
France likes to present itself as "one of America’s principal rivals around the world", so with the seizure of "the most electable French person" and locking him up, according to an American lynch mentality not enough unapproved (like arresting the dictator of Panama and throwing him in a jail in Florida, or awarding Saddam Hussein's revolver to George W. Bush, or the bombing of places where Qaddafi is thought to hide and killing his son and grandchildren), France have fallen within the pattern … [Read more...]
Video Code and YouTube
No matter how happy I was for adding Disqus to power my comments, something very useful with all it's items and pingback and tracking, also handy when you comment on a blog who uses it as well, along with this cute socializing thumb symbols on the left of the screen, I have had real problems with youtube embed video code.

The comical design
It is a mystery for me of when I felt attracted to Will Ferrell's antics, I can't recall it at all, but I'm sure now that he is one of my favorite comic actors alive, and if I try to judge deeper of what kind of movies I'm digging lately, he became one of my favorite actors, along with what was called The Frat Pack after the movie Old School, meaning Ben Stiller, Luke Wilson, Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson and without any doubt, Jack Black, even if this one wasn't playing maybe in the movie. … [Read more...]
To Start a Blog
To start a blog you need to talk well. To start a blog you have to have imagination. To start a blog you need confidence. All other things you think you need, may come after these three, because these three are the most important, no matter what you read elsewhere. From all these three, the last one is the more important. So, let's talk about confidence. Why you need it? For me is obvious, don't know if for you it works the same. Using a site called "blog" is like using a notepad, only it's … [Read more...]
