Don't you get bored at home?

- Spain is really immersed in that crisis.

- Long term pensions are not guaranteed.

- A huge part of the population (50%-70%) go into retirement before their 65 (the official age), and just 35% of people are working until they are 65 years old.

- University students don't start to pay for the national insurance until they are almost 25, later than they are expected.

- Life expectancy is longer than when the current pensions system was elaborated.

- We have more sanitary resources.

- Whe have developed technology, so we don't have to work as (physically) hard as before.

- When people are retired, they get depressed.

- Businessmen who own a small company go to the retirement to draw the pension, but they don't give up managing their familiar business. It seems they don't trust young and qualified generations...

- Young generations are less populated and have under qualified jobs, however they are paying the retirement of very populated old generations during around 30 years (since they go into retirement until they die). Will they be able to do that longer?

Aren't these reasons enough to extend the retirement age just two years?

And, what about a partial retirement after the age of 65?

reeds for help

Reeds: useful or disturbing stuff?

That was a kind of broken day. When trying to figure out the meaning there was always a little goblin who came with his reed and stayed in the middle of the issue. No discussion with logical end, just words; no problem with consistent solution, just suppositions.

Nevertheless, using that reed, it was possible to sustain the question, to mantain it alive longer. So, next time, the same unresolved point, one more way to carry on our own trial.

That's the prominent spiral when pretending to take a decision before its time.

So what?

Is it possible to feel unconfortable at home? Yes it is. And it is also possible to feel out of joint in your group of friends. Time has been passing and each one of us has been doing what he or she prefered. Building our lifes on different ways, even on opposite ways. And the conclusion of all those paths is that we are almost alone. One of us would like to do something and it has to be done alone, without company (or with new people) the others are not going to give for you, be sure. While everything is happenning, one day, you fall in love. How to say "I love you" tactfully without being unnoticed? Don't ask those old friends, their advices will not work now. You will not feel comfortable acting as they recomend.

The other part support the opinion that home friends will be always there, waiting for you, helping you when you need them. They will give you the best advices. They will share everyting with you. They are always going to ask you "how are you" and "how is your new job going on".

So now, what? What's the truth?

Silence

Silence, silence was what I needed this morning, when I got up after a Saturday night. I had been sleeping during almost seven hours, and they were enough to rest, to charge my energies and to go for a relax time.

Getting up, something to drink and to eat, dress up to run and to walk, a bottle of water, take the car and go to the beach. I couldn’t imagine that there could be such a kind of corridor full of people enjoying their Sunday. Dogs, bikes, skaters,... And me, thinking about the silence of those last weeks. And then, a sunbeam in front of me, to “wake me up”, to make me realize that views were much more beautiful than the past silence.

Don’t think and just wait. Time will run and things will come.

my amount of roses

A birthday, Saint Valentine's day, Saint Joan's day, Saint Jordi's day, a good grade, a passed exam. Or no reason to do that.

During the way of your life, you can get a lot of roses. Do not throw them away, please. Even if they are dry, they are still alive. Time is running very fast, but one day you stop in front of them and think. You can still remember how time has been passing since you get the first one, why was it, when, where and who was the person who had the feeling and the need to buy it. Then, you start to make stories with the roses. The way they followed to reach you and how difficult was it.

Some times you have to clean the dust they can leave. However you love them.

birthday celebration

How can people who are far from me, who I have not seen for eight or nine months, wish me Happy Birthday before than closest people?

13th of September, 2008

reaching my 22 years old

feeling that it is time to do something more

looking for a change in my life

Driving a car to feel independent. Transporting two of my friends to their place. Hearing a crying voice next to me. Trying to provide the most sensible words to inject the calm. Arriving at home and couldn't find a place to park my car. Parking quite far and walking alone under the company of some shining stars; carried with some birthday presents...

...and the mobile phone was ringing at 5.20, blak night.

awaking

Life is what you make with the dreams you can still remember when you awake
