<description><![CDATA[Christmas is just around the corner, another year has basically come and is almost on its way out.  ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Christmas is just around the corner, another year has basically come and is almost on its way out.  The tweens have put together a wish-list of things they want forfeiting Christmas gifts outright in exchange for getting items from their wish-lists throughout the year.  Which was not a bad idea until I saw the lists and the items written down:</p>
<p>Laptops, camera&#8217;s, motor bikes, Tigers, horse&#8217;s and well the list goes on in a similar fashion.  I&#8217;m hoping Santa will bring me a bottomless bank account in the form of Saturday&#8217;s winning Lotto ticket!  While kids will be kids, their wants and needs differing from ours in the most dramatic and subtle ways I too put together a wee wish-list of my own.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Xavier</strong> &#8211; My 7yr old son that has lived with his grand-parents for the last three years.  My little guy is at the top of my list and while I regret not fighting my parents for him tooth and nail he is the one wish on my list that supercede&#8217;s all others.  To have my little x-man back would be the ultimate wish-list gift!</li>
<li><strong>Intuos 4</strong> &#8211; Like males, women too have their toys and it just so happens that this is one of mine.  I, like my partner, am a computer orientated person, we just sit at opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to what type of computer user we are &#8211; Bryan=PC geek &#8211; Me=Digital artist.  But yes&#8230;I&#8217;ve been dying to get my hands on one of these when Wacom announced the new Intuos tablet.</li>
<li><strong>Canon EOS 50D</strong> &#8211; I justify this as, its time for an upgrade &#8211; lol &#8211; which I repeat to myself and my partner constantly and I will continue to stick to that story.  Given our current camera does the job it would be nice&#8230;</li>
<li><strong>Car</strong> &#8211; And last on a very short list, a vehicle.  The need to spread the wings a little and get out more has been something that occupies a portion of my mind quite a bit lately.  My elongated period of abstinence from driving coming to an end, which thankfully, is about time!</li>
</ol>
<p>But there it is, my wish-list, short as it is&#8230;is THEE list of all time.  Hard to believe?  Not from where I&#8217;m sitting!  I&#8217;m a woman with very few wants, manageable needs and a walking contradiction.  This entire list&#8230;intertwines one with the other catering to all my needs and wants while bringing me enjoyment, satisfaction and big huge smile on the dial!</p>
<p>SO&#8230;Whats on your wish-list?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><em><a href="http://myaddon.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/musik_allgemein1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-203" title="pixelrobota" src="http://myaddon.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/musik_allgemein1.jpg" alt="pixelrobota" width="107" height="150" /></a>(mf)</em> Das Jahr neigt sich dem Ende entgegen. Es kommt wieder die Zeit der obligatorischen BestOfs und Jahresrückblicke. Weil auch wir uns diesem Trend nicht widersetzen wollen (Wer schwimmt schon gerne gegen den Strom? Ist ja auch viel zu anstrengend), möchte ich Euch heute meine drei Lieblingsalben aus diesem Jahr präsentieren.<!--more--></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Natürlich folgen wir hier bei<strong> </strong><em>Add<span style="color:#ff0000;">O</span>n </em>keinen Trends, schließlich sind wir Rebellen des digitalen Zeitalters! Aber ich habe in letzter Zeit enorm viel Musik gehört und mir ist aufgefallen, dass trotz des stark sinkenden Niveaus in der Musikindustrie &#8211; die Welt wird, meiner Meinung nach, seit Jahren mit Konservenmusik und Coverversionen eingedeckt, während nur einige wenige Künstler sich und ihre Musik neu zu erfinden scheinen &#8211; gerade 2009 einige sehr gute Alben auf den Markt gekommen sind.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Einige schöne Beispiele hierfür, die es leider dennoch nicht in meine TOP 3 geschafft haben, sind die <em>Sportfreunde Stiller</em> bei <em>MTV Unplugged</em> in New York, das neue Album &#8220;Darum Leben Wir&#8221; von <em>Cassandra Steen</em>, die trotz ihres Wechsels zum Labelriesen <em>Universal </em>weiterhin bodenständige, von Herzen kommende Lieder zu schreiben scheint und natürlich &#8220;Invaders Must Die&#8221; von <em>The Prodigy</em>. Diese sind hierbei übrigens der Beweis dafür, dass das was ich oben geschrieben habe, bezüglich &#8220;neuen Erfindens&#8221;, nicht zwangsläufig notwendig ist, um gute Musik zu machen. Es schmerzt mich nicht, diesbezüglich lügend gestraft zu werden, da die drei Engländer mit ihrer neuen Platte eine hervorragende Hommage an Vergangenes geschaffen haben, die zugleich progressiv und massenkompatibel ist.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Auch das &#8220;Iz On&#8221; Album der <em>Söhne Mannheims</em> möchte ich hier lobend erwähnen, obwohl ich seit einer unglücklichen Begegnung mit <em>Tino Oac</em> vor einigen Jahren nicht mehr ganz der Fan bin (dazu ein andermal mehr), der ich einmal war. Dennoch ist das neue Album wiedermal verdammt gut geworden und ich hoffe, die Drohung, dass &#8220;das vielleicht die letzte Platte ist, BestOfs ausgenommen&#8221; sich nicht bewahrheitet, obwohl ich mich frage, wie sie es auch schaffen sollten das Wort &#8220;Zion&#8221; noch ein weiteres mal im Titel unterzubringen. &#8220;Zion&#8221; vom ersten Album zu &#8220;Noiz&#8221; im zweiten zu verwandeln schien relativ leicht. &#8220;Iz On&#8221; daraus zu machen, grenzte schon an einen Geniestreich. Was kommt dann? &#8220;In Oz&#8221; oder aktuell zum Thema &#8220;Mauerfall&#8221; &#8220;Zoni&#8221;? Es gibt wohl doch noch einige Möglichkeiten, also haut rein Jungs und keep up the good work! Falls das nächste Album &#8220;In Oz&#8221; oder &#8220;Zoni&#8221; heißen sollte, möchte ich übrigens als geistiger Schöpfer Tantiemen erhalten.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Die <em>Söhne </em>haben es also als Gruppe leider nicht auf&#8217;s Treppchen geschafft, doch wie so oft im Leben, fällt der Apfel nicht weit vom Stamm und so hat wenigstens ein <em>Sohn </em>den Sprung in meine persönliche TOP 3 geschafft. Eigentlich hätte er locker alle drei Plätze für sich beanspruchen können, denn sein neues Album kommt gleich auf drei Silberlingen daher. Die Aufteilung auf drei Scheiben scheint auf den ersten Blick wie Materialverschwendung, denn die Lieder hätten bestimmt auch auf zwei gepasst, aber wenn man sich intensiver mit den Texten und Stimmungen auseinandersetzt, macht alles sehr wohl Sinn. Ich bin nicht erst sein Fan, seit ich ihn in unserer alten Heimat Eisenberg (ca. 40 km westlich von Mannheim) mit einem weißen <em>Porsche Carrera GT</em> zum <em>ALDI </em>einkaufen fahren gesehen habe. Nein, das erste Mal fiel mir der schwarze <em>Herbert Grönemeyer</em> bei einem Konzert von <em>Sabrina Setlur</em> im Backround Chor auf, da er mit seiner schönen Stimmfarbe einfach herausragte. Umso erfreuter war ich, als 1998 &#8220;Nicht von dieser Welt&#8221; den Weg in meinen CD-Player fand. Leider erschien sein Debütalbum aus dem Jahre 1993 nur in den USA, weil der Künstler seine ersten musikalischen Schritte als peinlich und &#8220;seelenlos&#8221; empfand.</p>
<p>Lange genug um den heißen Brei geredet. Das erste Album in meiner TOP 3 2009 ist natürlich:</p>
<h2><span style="color:#ff0000;">Platz 3</span> &#8211; <em>Xavier Naidoo</em> &#8220;Alles kann besser werden&#8221;<a href="http://myaddon.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/xavier-naidoo-album-cover.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-192" title="Xavier Naidoo Album Cover" src="http://myaddon.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/xavier-naidoo-album-cover.jpg" alt="Xavier Naidoo Album Cover" width="150" height="150" /></a></h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Das Album/die Alben ist/sind der absolute Hammer. Musikalisch ein absoluter Genuss &#8211; mir gefällt einfach dieser wohlige volle Klang, der <em>Xavier</em>&#8217;s Musik ausmacht; Violinen, Celli, Piano und Bassgitarre angetrieben von einem kräftigen Beat. Auch wenn sicherlich jede Menge an Technik zum Einsatz kam, hört man doch den reichlichen Gebrauch analoger Instrumente heraus, was mein Livemusikherz erfreut. Und auch wenn man ihm gelegentlich religiösen Fanatismus nachsagt, und Viele genau deshalb nichts mit seinen Texten anfangen können, so spricht er, zumindest mir, allzu oft aus der Seele. Wer auch nur ansatzweise mit <em>Xavier </em>was anfangen kann, sollte sich das Album zulegen &#8211; für Fans sowieso ein Pflichtkauf!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Wir bleiben in deutschen Landen und die Musikrichtung ändert sich nur unmerklich. Auf dem Silberrang meiner TOP 3 landete in diesem Jahr ein Künstler, den ich vor einigen Jahren garnicht in Betracht gezogen hätte, was vielleicht daran liegt, dass er einer der Künstler ist, die erst auf den zweiten, manchmal dritten, Blick eine gewisse Genialität erkennen lassen. Ähnlich wie sein amerikanisches Pendant <em>Eminem</em>, hat man ihn lange als anarchistischen HipHop-Spinner und Möchtegern-Gangster abgetan und nicht verstanden, was er mit seinen Texten überhaupt auszudrücken versucht. Seine komplette Trilogie genialer Soloalben holte in Deutschland jeweils Gold, das letzte sogar Platin, weshalb er sich selbst gerne als &#8220;Goldjungen&#8221; bezeichnet. Der gebürtige Ostberliner <em>Paul Hartmut Würdig</em> hat mit seinem neuen Album nicht nur Mama stolz gemacht:</p>
<h2><span style="color:#ff0000;">Platz 2</span> &#8211; Sido &#8220;Aggro Berlin&#8221;<a href="http://myaddon.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/sido.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-191" title="sido" src="http://myaddon.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/sido.jpg" alt="sido" width="150" height="150" /></a></h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Wenn man dem Intro Glauben schenkt, hat der gute <em>Sido </em>seine geliebte Maske endgültig in den Schrank verbannt und das Label <em>Aggro Berlin</em> zu Grabe getragen. Natürlich sehen die Hardcorefans, sowie <em>Sido </em>auch selbst, diese Entwicklung mit &#8220;einem lachenden und einem weinenden Auge&#8221;, jedoch bleibt uns der Ex-Maskenmann als Ausnahmerapper erhalten, denn an das Aufhören denkt dieser ganz bestimmt noch nicht. Stilblüten wie &#8220;Hey Du&#8221;, &#8220;Schlampen Von Gestern&#8221; und &#8220;Marie und Jana&#8221; gehören ebenso wieder zum Programm der Platte, wie der Auftritt eines bekannten deutschen Comedians, der für erheiternde Skits sorgt. <em>Kurt Krömer </em>zählt zu einer kleinen elitären Personengruppe, die es schafft mich mit wenigen Worten und Gesten zum Lachen zu bringen, weshalb sein Gastauftritt für mich einen ganz besonderen Charm ausmacht. Darüber hinaus sorgen <em>Siggi</em>&#8217;s typischer Wortwitz und seine gekonnte Selbstironie, für die wir ihn so lieben, für die nötige Langzeitmotivation. Rundum ein super Album und definitiv eine Kaufempfehlung für alle Fans deutschsprachigen HipHops und solchen, die es werden wollen.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Ein weiteres Novum erwartet mich und Euch auf Platz eins meiner TOP 3  in diesen Jahr. Denn zum ersten Mal überhaupt, seit ich Denken bzw. bewusst Musik hören kann, kommen alle drei meiner Lieblingsalben aus der Bundesrepublik und folgen dem erfreulichen Trend der Deutschsprachigkeit. Überhaupt finde ich die Rückkehr zu guter deutschsprachiger Musik extrem befriedigend. Die deutsche Sprache ist eben nicht nur in gesprochener und geschriebener Form eine schöne Sache, wie man unschwer an meinem reichlichen Gebrauch dieser erkennen kann, sondern auch in gesungener. Eigentlich ist das Album ein wenig spät dran, denn es kam bereits im Herbst letzten Jahres auf den Markt. Aber der eigentliche Durchbruch des frischgebackenen Solokünstlers kam erst mit dem ersten Platz beim <em>Bundesvision Song Contest 2009</em> im Februar. Darauf folgte eine knappe Woche später der <em>Echo </em>in der Kategorie <em>HipHop/Urban</em> und spätestens ab diesem Zeitpunkt drehten alle ihr Radio auf bis zum Anschlag, wenn die Celli des <em>Babelsberger Filmorchesters</em> in eindringlichem Staccato den Song &#8220;Alles Neu&#8221; ankündigten.</p>
<h2><span style="color:#ff0000;">Platz 1</span> &#8211; Peter Fox &#8220;Stadtaffe&#8221;<a href="http://myaddon.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/peter-fox-stadtaffe.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-190" title="peter-fox-stadtaffe" src="http://myaddon.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/peter-fox-stadtaffe.jpg" alt="peter-fox-stadtaffe" width="150" height="150" /></a></h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Diese ehrenvolle Auszeichnung erhält der gute <em>Pierre Baigorry</em> (<em>Peter Fox</em>&#8216; bürgerlicher Name) nicht, weil mich &#8220;Stadtaffe&#8221; an meinen alten Nickname <em>PixelMonkey</em> erinnert, auch nicht weil er wie ich französische Wurzeln hat und auch nicht, weil mein Bart im gleichen Orange-Rot glänzt wie seiner. Nein. Überzeugt hat mich einzig und allein die extrem hohe musikalische Kunstfertigkeit, mit der die Scheibe aufwartet. Ich liebe diese Orchestralmusik, begleitet von wummernden Bässen und einer knallhart geschlagenen Snare. Für unfassbar innovativ halte ich außerdem die Verbindung aus klassischer Musik mit dem für Dance Hall und Reggaeton bekannten Offbeat. Abgerundet wird das Gesamtkonzept mit einer lyrischen Finesse, die ich ohne weiteres als Poesie bezeichne, wofür er wohl auch völlig zurecht den <em>Kritikerpreis </em>beim diesjährigen <em>Echo </em>erhielt. <em>Peter Fox</em> ist für mich ein ganz Großer &#8211; musikalisch wie menschlich ist er es mehr als Wert, dass man sich mit ihm auseinandersetzt. &#8220;Stadtaffe&#8221; sollte daher für jeden Musikliebhaber (genreunabhängig) Pflichtkauf sein!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">In diesem Sinne, freuen wir uns gemeinsam auf ein hoffentlich musikalisch ebenso ertragreiches Jahr 2010. Bis dahin: &#8220;Guten Morgen, Berlin!&#8221;</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">End of show</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><br />
My Take: </strong>The opening tag team match may have been quick and one sided but it was very entertaining. The CSC appears to be a big hit already for ROH judging by the crowds response to them. I would think CSC will be on future ROH shows. Red/Briscoe was a fun fast pace contest that saw both men get some good offense in. I believe at this point both men were under the age of 22. I know that Mark Briscoe is only 18. The younger Xavier going over Scoot Andrews was the right move. Another fun match with the SAT, Divine Storm and XL. Spanky and Michael Shane are clearly the better students from that Texas Wrestling Academy match. I’d think Shane will be getting a contract as well. Crazy/Guerrero and the Triple Threat match were exciting contests that finished off a good first show for ROH.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">From the event&#8217;s <a href="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=170174832466">Facebook page</a>:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8220;Maine&#8217;s passage of Question 1 – stripping away existing rights from lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer citizens – made it clear that homophobia, transphobia and hatred are still allowed to permeate the American political sphere. Question 1 sought to silence the queer community&#8217;s voice by characterizing our relationships as second class and unequal.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8220;Although Question 1 was only decided by Maine voters, it is an assault to all people who believe in universal dignity and equality.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8220;Join Xavier Alliance Monday, Nov. 16, as we make it clear that no one is a second-class citizen.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8220;Meet in the Atrium of the Gallagher Student Center at 11:30 a.m. to watch a short video produced by members of Xavier&#8217;s Alliance. From there, Alliance members will distribute &#8220;I am not a second-class citizen&#8221; and &#8220;My friend is not a second-class citizen&#8221; posters and duct tape.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8220;We will then line up outside of Gallagher Student Center at 12:15 p.m., with posters in hand and duct tape over our mouths, making a statement to all of campus that each and every Xavier student is equal, regardless of their sexual orientation and gender identity and expression.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8220;None of us can be passive observers of oppression – it&#8217;s time for all of us to demand equality.&#8221;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>One thing that is very constant is change.  The culture of today is changing so fast that it’s so hard to keep up.  Everything has changed from the music to the clothes to the language.  Students today are very much different from the time when I was a student (Wow, I can’t believe I said that).  And even though I’m passionate about students encountering Jesus and following Him, it takes more than passion for students to follow Jesus.  The other day it hit me that I’m a decade older than an incoming high school student and such a gap made me realize that I’m out of touch with them.  I may know the kind of music that they listen to, the kind of TV shows that they watch, but knowing how they think, how they relate, how they communicate is a totally different ballgame.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-490" title="Are you ready for it?" src="http://passionengineer.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/6a00d83451e1dc69e20120a516b74a970b-800wi.png?w=300" alt="Are you ready for it?" width="300" height="236" /></p>
<p>Am I doing things and just hoping and praying that what I do will result in students changing their views about the Bible, changing their mindset about church?  Or am I changing my perception about young people, changing the way I communicate and how I relate and connect with students?  Change is necessary but it is also critical to know what to change.  Winston Churchill said, <em>“There is nothing wrong with change, if it is in the right direction.”</em> Keeping up with the changing times is a challenge and it’s a challenge that we ought to take head on if we want the next generation to know Jesus.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img src="http://puertohurraco.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/precio.jpg?w=300" alt="precio" title="precio" width="300" height="200" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2136" />A ver si nos organizamos y las fincas comuneras compramos. Lo primero que hay que dilucidar es el precio que podemos pagar por un conjunto comunero tan mollar y que si lo compramos los Visentinis, tendrá un precio familiar, así que ya podéis echaros a temblar. Si fuera un tercero se quitarían el sombrero los del trío tabernero y el precio fijado por el tasador judicial les parecería muy zalamero, pero siendo un comunero para ellos sería poco dinero.<br />
Así que vamos a ver a groso modo que nos pedirían los exégetas de Cuasimodo. El tasador ha fijado un precio básico de 1.890.000 euros al que habría que incrementar con el <em>pos ya que</em> clásico, que si 40.000 euros por aquí de la devolución de la subvenciones que no es cuestión baladí, 150.000 euros por allá de una hipoteca del haba que nos es moco de pava, 18.000 euros de obra civil para que de modo diligente se le dé solución al cableado indecente, más otros 50.000 euros para  lo que nos diga la ITE que hay que reparar y que en su día se quiso escamotear y entre gastos notariales, registrales y escriturales vamos a echarle otros 50.000 euros a los morrales. Hacen un total de 2.200.000 euros redondeando, que para eso estamos cavilando y un precio familiar arreglando. <img src="http://puertohurraco.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/manual-crisis.jpg?w=300" alt="manual-crisis" title="manual-crisis" width="300" height="248" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2137" />Ya tenemos un buen precio para quedarnos con las fincas comuneras ahora que las coyunturas son tan ventureras.<br />
Bien, puestos a cavilar vamos a especular la forma de juntar esta cantidad tan mollar: podemos poner a la venta parte de nuestro patrimonio ¡qué demonio¡ la ocasión merece hacerlo con encomio. <img src="http://puertohurraco.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/crisis.jpg?w=300" alt="crisis" title="crisis" width="300" height="241" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2138" />Malín, vende algunos de los pisillos, para qué quieres tantos ladrillos, Trinificación, has lo propio con el chalet, otra ocasión como esta no vas a tener, Xavier igual debes proceder, que el tren sólo pasa una vez y yo viendo vuestra disposición tendré que tomar la misma decisión. Total habréis visto que tampoco cuesta tanto trabajo para aquellos que tenemos capital para darle un pequeño tajo. Es sólo calderilla comparada con la finquilla que es toda una maravilla. Y además hacemos un acto de caridad con aquellos que con nosotros se han comportado con tanta bondad.<br />
Con nuestros queridos y amantísimos Titos Degollador y la Veneno que podrían ver cumplidas sus aspiraciones de llevarse para el campo de San José algunas provisiones, quién sabe si para este último viaje deben llevarlo de equipaje, y además con el resto pueden hacer dos particiones para los dos moscones que llevan implorándolas años en sus oraciones <img src="http://puertohurraco.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/botero.png?w=260" alt="botero" title="botero" width="260" height="300" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2139" />¡ay nuestro primo Grasasol¡ haría una locura en su finca de Otura y se compraría un balón gástrico aunque falta no le haría al hombre alcancía. Y nuestro Bizcolatex y su Troli, qué me dices, nada más pensar en el dinero a trincar, sus ojos orbitan y sus cuerpos levitan, en esta angelical espera igual se le arregla la bizquera.<br />
Y con nuestros primicos, los dos hermanicos, le podemos arreglar a ciencia cierta una vejez perfecta con  nuestra oferta. <img src="http://puertohurraco.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/convento.jpg?w=225" alt="convento" title="convento" width="225" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2140" />Nuestro primo Marmolillo, igual el calvillo funda un Convento, con sus dos monjas de clausura dentro, sor Natilla y sor Fallera, Cecilia la madre abadesa y él como padre prior, y quién sabe si con el tiempo lo nombran Beato o Santo, ¡ay dios mío que espanto!<br />
Y hemos dejado para el final a nuestro queridísimo Giuseppe el demencial, una vez que pierda su título nobiliario como capo de Puertohurraco, le podemos facilitar uno honorífico, que es bastante magnifico, el de propietario del panteón familiar que lo puede con el dinero de la heredad comprar en propiedad. Le viene muy bien al felón, pues su senil condición le hace oler ya a panteón.<br />
Ya tenemos a nuestros parientes echando babas por sus bocas y dientes, están segregando adrenalina debido a su hambre canina, pues creen que las fincas hurraqueñas para ellos son una mina. <img src="http://puertohurraco.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/borromeo.jpg?w=231" alt="Borromeo" title="Borromeo" width="231" height="300" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2141" />Ahora bien, los Visentinis, pensamos que se nos hará extraño tener la propiedad en soledad, habiendo sido condueños desde antaño, igual no encontramos apaño, así que ¿qué os parece que aunque la situación lo merece y dinero tenemos con creces, que no compremos las fincas? y esperemos con mucha familiaridad a que aparezca el mirlo blanco en hermandad, año tras año, pues se trataría de un mirlo muy extraño, que compre las hurraqueñas fincas comuneras todas enteras, aunque la espera llegue a tener solera. Y además otra mayor motivación tenemos para avalar esta decisión, no vamos mediante nuestra inversión a favorecer la santificación de San Charly Borromeo, patrón del <em>de gratis</em> y <em>el gorroneo</em>.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://puertohurraco.wordpress.com/2009/11/04/proximente-reflexiones-de-un-comunero-al-final-del-sendero/maestro-pisado/" rel="attachment wp-att-2076"><img src="http://puertohurraco.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/maestro-pisado.jpg?w=300" alt="maestro pisado" title="maestro pisado" width="300" height="201" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2076" /></a>Trás 70 años de vivir con el cuello pisado uno casi se ha acostumbrado. A la humillación continua las personas se habitúan y a vivir como un gusano arrastrado uno se ha habituado. De este modo los grandes dictadores se hacen valedores, el pueblo que vive subyugado a sus antojos y caprichos llega un momento que no protesta y todo lo acepta. Hasta el día de la caída del pedestal los Visentinis viviamos de este modo tan juncal. No entendiamos que otro tipo de vida fuese posible y que esta era nuestra posición natural y por ello no nos podiamos quejar. Estabamos acostumbrados a los antojos del gran capo, el te exigía un documento y tu se los servías al momento, el Charly te encomendaba una misión y la realizabas sin dilación y con sumisión. El ser taimado pedía a Mikel las actas por el redactadas y en 24 horas ya las tenía modificadas. A la proclamada decoradora se le encargaba una amueblamiento sin apenas presupuesto y con toda premura está iniciaba la aventura, con cuatro gordas y un real realizaba la tarea colosal. El Malin no estába muy a mano y es  por ello por lo que se libra este vasallo, si estuviese aquí tareas tendría sin fin.<br />
Como el buen lector comprenderá lo de las piedras y cantos rodados no pertenece sólo al pasado; la humillación se convirtió en una auténtica religión. Sin embargo desde la Revolución del Pedestal la situación ya no es tan mollar. Lo mismo que la Revolución francesa, la de los Claveles o la de la Cochinos, ésta debe pasar a los libros de texto y estudiarse hasta en la ESO. Desde hace más de dos años Mikel y Xavier dejaron de ser esclavos, de la carcel hurraqueña salieron en libertad sin cargos, desde entonces no dan cuenta de sus acuaciones y solo dan explicaciones a quien les sale de sus&#8230; “narices”. Otros sin embargo tienen una libertad condicional y con una fianza muy pesada y canalla que el capo ha fijado desde su atalaya.<br />
Con la libertad conquistada Mikel y Xavier se encuentran como niños con un par de zapatos recien estrenados y dos años para ellos no logran compensar las celadas que han tenido que soportar. En estos momentos hurraqueños se ven de sus actos dueños, tienen la capacidad de al capo molestar y sus objetivos ridiculizar. Al orondo Grasasol se le ha humillado con esplendor, al Guanichi y los demás cuando estén a tiro que se pongan a temblar.  Es una época dorada la que nos toca vivir pues hemos tocado los resortes adecuados que a la mafia mucho han fastidiado, y no queremos que esta etapa de postín con el juicio llegue a su fin.<br />
Durante dos años su fastidio constante ha sido nuestra única variante, todo lo tramado y urdido lo ha sido para este noble objetivo. <a href="http://puertohurraco.wordpress.com/2009/11/04/proximente-reflexiones-de-un-comunero-al-final-del-sendero/enfermo-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-2077"><img src="http://puertohurraco.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/enfermo.jpg?w=300" alt="enfermo" title="enfermo" width="300" height="211" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2077" /></a>Sucede algo parecido como la muerte de un ser querido, que tras una larga y penosa efermedad parece que la muerte nos da la libertad, sin embargo esto no es así pues hemos organizado nuestra vida para su cuidado y atención y su falta provoca en nosotros una gran frustación.<br />
Que será de nuestro existir sin sus celadas perfectamente maquinadas, la visita periódica del Orondo y su esbirro a quién de la finca hurraqueña expulsaremos quién encajará los golpes que lanzamos como resortes.<br />
<a href="http://puertohurraco.wordpress.com/2009/11/04/proximente-reflexiones-de-un-comunero-al-final-del-sendero/familia-rota/" rel="attachment wp-att-2079"><img src="http://puertohurraco.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/familia-rota.jpg?w=300" alt="familia rota" title="familia rota" width="300" height="215" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2079" /></a>Es por todo ello que una salida negociada no es por mi muy deseada, ya que un día se nos acusó de romper a la familia, nosotros en estos momentos la queremos más unida que nunca, queremos que a nuestro lado viajen estos desalmados. La venta a un tercero debe de ser por muchisimo dinero y en la situación actual un mirlo blanco no se nos va a cruzar, no sólo pagará el valor de la casona sino que deberá de hacer frente a los muchos gastos que tiene pendientes<a href="http://puertohurraco.wordpress.com/2009/11/04/proximente-reflexiones-de-un-comunero-al-final-del-sendero/el-mirlo-blanco/" rel="attachment wp-att-2083"><img src="http://puertohurraco.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/el-mirlo-blanco.jpg" alt="el-mirlo-blanco" title="el-mirlo-blanco" width="200" height="110" class="alignright size-full wp-image-2083" /></a>. La compra de la finca por nuestra parte es la única opción que parece probable sobre todo si el juez de instruccción no aprueba la separación y aboca la resolución a un acuerdo consensuado o la temida y no bien ponderada  subasta pública obligada.<br />
Todas estas opciones pueden poner fin a nuestra relación familiar y en esto punto de la relación es una equivocación, pues supone no disfrutar de los placeres que nos da la nueva situación.<a href="http://puertohurraco.wordpress.com/2009/11/04/proximente-reflexiones-de-un-comunero-al-final-del-sendero/manos-tenencia-piedras_px354022/" rel="attachment wp-att-2080"><img src="http://puertohurraco.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/manos-tenencia-piedras_px354022.jpg" alt="manos-tenencia-piedras_~px354022" title="manos-tenencia-piedras_~px354022" width="300" height="219" class="alignright size-full wp-image-2080" /></a> Si  la sabemos manejar con frialdad se convertirá en  una fuente de felicidad, es el momento de devolver las piedras y cantos rodados que tenemos en nuestras manos guardados.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img src="http://puertohurraco.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/marmolillo-1.jpg?w=130" alt="marmolillo 1" title="marmolillo 1" width="130" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2047" />Estando en la antesala del juicio los Visentinis de nuestra paciencia hacemos gala, y hablamos de distintos temillas que en su día no nos hicieron cosquillas. Se me viene a la cabeza un ser despreciable que ha ejercido de contable con su cabeza descapotable ¡sí, hablo de Charly! cuya cabeza por su dureza debió esculpir un marmolista con escaza vista. Recordáis que su padre como prestamista fue todo un artista, fue el introductor de las gabelas en Puertohurraco que le supuso pingües beneficios mientras a la familia dejaba a dos velas.<img src="http://puertohurraco.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/negritos-del-africa-tropical.jpg?w=300" alt="Negritos del áfrica tropical" title="Negritos del áfrica tropical" width="300" height="235" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2048" /> Que la Candelaria quería una radio para escuchar las novelas después del anuncio del Cola-Cao: “somos los negritos del África tropical”, así después de la escuela recuerdo en mi casa escuchar, pues se las tenía que ver con el miserable ser que de la usura hacia su querer. Y una vez que daba su consentimiento, pues sin éste no había compra en ningún establecimiento, se escudaba que en la fábrica de pólvoras había uno que el dinero prestaba, era él el tragaldabas que con las gabelas se quedaba. No había otra forma de comprar sin las oportunas gabelas a Milán pagar.<br />
Pues, bien, de este ser indecente fue émulo el Marmolillo de Charly de manera anuente. Pero como de chupatintas nunca ha progresado, las gabelas del préstamo del dinero nunca ha sacado. El gabelismo de la reventa de muebles ha ejercido con su clásico cinismo. Siempre sacando ventaja de que otra persona se encuentra en situación más baja.<br />
Eran los albores en que celebraban los Visentinis sus esponsales buscando momentos mejores. La realidad es que estábamos tiesos en nuestros comienzos, éramos víctimas propiciatorias de Marmol, para sus labores  especulatorias.<img src="http://puertohurraco.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/tulipa.jpg" alt="tulipa" title="tulipa" width="250" height="250" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2049" /> Un día Mikel con su joven esposa Isabela entran en Sánchez electrodomésticos, mira qué casualidad que allí está Charly con Cecilia Porcé que de la reventa hacen su especialidad. Mikel, como el que no quiere la cosa, le dice que busca una lámpara halógena para el cuarto de baño, ya han encontrado, la Enciclopedia y Charly su apaño, que acabará como siempre en engaño. Tenemos en casa unas tulipas con lámparas tradicionales que no dan calor como lo hace la halógena a raudales, es toda una eminencia y autoridad Cecilia en electricidad, están prácticamente nuevas y nos da una lástima inmensa desprendernos de ellas siendo tan bellas, pero si os las quedáis vosotros hacemos un trato que nos libra de este mal rato. Y pos ya que estamos tenemos a su lado un mueble de aglomerado rechapado que os lo podemos dejar a un precio muy arreglado. Ya nos han endosado el amueblamiento usado y uno nuevo a precio de copla tiene el condenado.<br />
<img src="http://puertohurraco.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/mesa-hortera.jpg?w=300" alt="mesa hortera" title="mesa hortera" width="300" height="225" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2050" />A Xavier, que está al comienzo de su matrimonio, en el mismo menester, le endosa con encomio una mesa de salón comedor con las seis sillas compañeras, que son como el dueño, bastante horteras. No sólo obtiene buenos dineros por la reventa, sino que además está lleva unido los aparceros que retirarán los muebles de su casa cual pordioseros. Es todo ventaja lo que consigue con sus reventas esta alhaja. Entre todo lo que nos ha endosado el piso entero de muebles ha renovado, aprovechándose de la familia lo mismo que haría un venado.<br />
A Malín, aunque le pilló más a trasmano, también le engañó como a sus hermanos.<img src="http://puertohurraco.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/pulpo.jpg?w=300" alt="pulpo" title="pulpo" width="300" height="214" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2044" /> Le hizo la del pulpo en el piso abuhardillado que le alquilo a sus hijas en los madriles, y todo ello por ser gentiles, en un acto de generosidad le ofreció hospitalidad a la hija de Charly, como se demostró esto fue una atrocidad. Como la buhardilla en la que se alojó Natilla es bastante holguerilla, se puede meter otra camilla y que ésta realquile a una coleguilla. De esta forma tan miserable el insigne profesional contable hizo un negoció rentable, aunque a su primo le dio un sablazo, que no conviene olvidar por si acaso. Consiguió que su hija pagara la mitad aunque hiciera doble uso de lo que Malín de su dinero puso en comunidad.<br />
<img src="http://puertohurraco.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/san-antonio.jpg?w=225" alt="san-antonio" title="san-antonio" width="225" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2051" />Hoy todo ha cambiado pues los Visentinis hemos progresado y tenemos de sobra mientras el condenado sigue a su miserable vida atado. La reventa familiar ha sido solo un pecado venial, comparado con toda la tropelía que después nos haría a los Visentinis con alevosía. Después, una vez echado al monte, ha sido un bandolero que nos ha robado el dinero. Que se lo gaste todo entero en ponerle velas a San Antonio para que sus alhajas contraigan matrimonio.<br />
¡A que sí! hermana Trinificación, los Visentinis aprendimos la lección, entre la familia solo cabe la donación porque estamos unidos por el corazón. No caben entre nosotros beneficios si nos desprendemos de bienes materiales entre nuestros edificios.</p>
