On why I don't stop consuming meat.

Plane truth: I can't conceive my sandwich without ham, a lunch without red meat, I simply can't... anything outside that does not evokes hunger on me. The benefits of such meats are undeniable; nutrients, vitamins... iron, zinc, red blood cells' auxiliaries... I wish I could have the courage, to truly live a life saving the planet, but I keep using air conditioner and traveling by toxic vehicles, which burns enough CO2 to melt 12% of the ice in the north pole per decade... I keep doing that as much as I keep eating meat. But imagine this now, imagine our race wouldn't have achieved consciousness, if we would have been creatures of none intelligence, nobody will question our ways of consuming the pray. I hold onto that thought, it is, in a way, my salvation; I did not create this, I was born in here, under these conditions, I did not choose to be in a human sperm rather than in a horse sperm... my only hope, my tranquility and relief, is that we, as species, will later perish and will leave this planet to its original owner, nature. We weren't here always, and we won't be... death will do justice for us. In 500 years, this planet will keep existing in this solar system, will manage its atmosphere and will allow new species to emerge, as always, the ultimate authority. This planet gives the conditions, and will ever have the last word. For us time is slow, but we're just a second.

Venezuela, la inevitable verdad*.

Gracias infinitas a mi madre y a mi padre, Venezolanos de altura, que conversaron extensamente conmigo las ideas expresadas en este texto y en particular a papá, por su aporte en el manejo de la lengua. *Sé que hemos sido muchos, a lo largo de la historia, los que hemos querido apropiarnos de la verdad VERDADERA, que al final no queda probada porque cada quien, a pesar de tener su verdad, no puede hacerla valer ni demostrarla. Incluso si triunfara en ello, aún el otro adversario cuestionaría esa verdad porque la suya es la VERDADERA verdad. Al final, la verdad VERDADERA, queda en el anonimato. _________________________________________________________     Una pregunta frecuente que se le hace al Venezolano en el extranjero es : “¿Por qué no salen de Maduro?”. Es una pregunta un tanto irónica y fastidiosa por variadas razones, comenzando por la de que las personas sin profundizar en el tema creen conocer de antemano la respuesta (porque somos bobos). Pero es una pregunta igualmente incóm

"Las dictaduras no salen con votos"

¿Cómo es que de un extremo nos pasamos a otro?. "Las dictaduras no salen con votos" es hoy el comentario genérico en las redes sociales de la gente que ha tirado la toalla con su país. ¿Dónde estaríamos hoy, si el Venezolano hubiese acompañado a Enrique Capriles hasta este punto? El 2013, y en consecuencia el 2015, me parecen claros ejemplos de que con votos si podríamos salir del actual gobierno Venezolano... es cierto que Capriles está inhabilitado, pero, ¿Por qué?. "Marico" "jala bolas" "te dejaste robar las elecciones" "habla paja”, y ahí se acabó la lucha política… con nuestra majadería, ofensa y simpleza característica. Capriles, en su afán de conservar su electorado, cometió errores que lo llevaron a la inhabilitación; se fue de giras, lo recibieron embajadores, recibió dineros extranjeros… tuvo acciones inconstitucionales. ¿Fue realmente su culpa, cuando el Venezolano no sabe que es una lucha política?. Miremos a México; 60 años inin

8 things I uncounciously acknowledged while trying to dominate the English language.

How have you acquired the English language? Has it been through reading? By paying attention in English class since you were little? Perhaps through video games, or another audiovisual medium. In my personal experience, I've earned it mostly empirically, by living in an English speaking country in southeast Asia. However, it hasn't been just by facing the obvious, the fact that I had to communicate myself, but I have also had to fall in love with it, with its differences in usage and personality from Spanish, my original language.  I have been exposed to English for seven years now. My entire degree was under this language, and I worked for a while in an Australian company based in Malaysia, which gave me the chance of working with people from either Taiwan or Canada using only English. I do feel comfortable in my usage of grammar, but I am fully conscious that I still have troubles with past tenses in general. An expert will notice that. I am currently studying at Cambridge
