Dime con quién te juntas....
Martín y Derick, respectivamente...
Ghosts of Onyx
Kurt laughed. "Didn't you know?" He told the Elite."...Spartans never die.""Die?"
Kurt was a Spartan-II characterized by the fact that he had something like a 6th sense that told him something was wrong. Something like a hunch but one the Master Chief learned to pay heed to, for every time it ringed true. Kurt became the LC (Lieutenant Commander) for the secret project of Spartan-III. In a matter of speaking, Kurt was the more humanized of the Spartan-II.
Great book, I can't wait for the next one. I hope it's out by the time I go to Houston for Dir en Grey's concert.

Haiku.004
wild and careless, running mad,
Almost ripped my heart.
Este haiku es en recuerdo a un suceso que pudo, pues estuvo muy cerca de suceder, haberme cambiado la vida de una manera que no me gustaría averiguar nunca. En un cruce, Garza Sada y Sendero Sur hacia las Torres, un idiota en una camioneta café no frenó en su rojo. Solamente escuché a GVS decir "aguas!" y sin pensarlo pisé el freno a fondo, cuando derrepente cruzo frente a mi este pedazo de mierda. De no haber frenado, el golpe lo hubiera recibido el lado de Giovana y doy gracias por haber reaccionado justo a tiempo.

UFO - The Greatest Story Ever Denied
People wonder: "If they (more advanced alien civilizations) exist, how come they don't come and expose themselves to us?" Come on!! If you find a species that have developed a technology to kill other members of their race. A race who is extremely xenophobic, who have made clear that whatever comes in contact with us will be considered a threat?
To them we're no more than chimpanzees fighting with sticks and stones, will you give them the technology to make a gun? Of course not!! They may not be afraid of us, they surely pity us because we are a race who is digging thier own grave. They will not come, and surely will make no contact with us, until we have eliminated every thought of war, killing, greed and begin to help every other person out. Develop technology for peace instead of war.
They are studying us in our own habitat. It is general knowledge that to study an animal (yes people, we're animals, we're not vegetables, are we?) you must not alter their habitat and keep a distance so they can act natural. Of course there have been scientist that have fallen victim to lions, hippos, etc., so are they.
But enough of this, this is just my honest opinion, i just wanted to share with you some videos i found on youtube, i watched the first one and i found it interesting. Feel free to watch them. Enjoy.

Receso??!
EN RECESO INDEFINIDO
Hola a todos,
En los últimos cinco años trabajando con Elfonía hemos vivido tantas cosas: experiencias inolvidables, momentos divertidos, montones de retos, situaciones difíciles. Esta banda nos vio a todos crecer como músicos e intérpretes, cosa de la que estamos muy orgullosos. Ha sido un honor y un placer contar con el apoyo de nuestros fans y seres queridos; ¡les estaremos por siempre agradecidos!
Algunos de ustedes pueden ya haberlo adivinado, pero desde hace tiempo Elfonía está en receso... Aún no hemos tomado la decisión si esta ruptura será definitiva o no, pero por lo pronto no tenemos planes de seguir escribiendo canciones ni presentarnos en vivo. Cada uno de nosotros se está concentrando en proyectos diferentes, tomando caminos diferentes.
Una vez más mil gracias a todos por su apoyo incondicional. Esperamos que el futuro traiga lo mejor para todos.
Elfonía

TRieD & TRue
I have been using the Zune player for a little more than a week and honestly i haven't used that much an iPod, though i find it easy and not that hard to use as other reviewers claim. It is NOT an iPod, or an iPod killer as many claim. The iPod, as i have said before, is already too rooted in the market and, what? 5 years of experience which make it a tough adversary. MS's objective is not to dethrone the ipod, but to take a bite off the market.
There has been harsh criticism over the zune solely for the mere fact that is MS made. There was even one reviewer that admitted having NOT used one and described how and why the zune will fail. I mean, i'm not a MS fanboy, i know the OS could be better, i hate about the monopoly stance they have, actually, i hate plenty of things they do and am joyful when google or some other company manages to outbest a product MS is in.
I searched around for the mp3 player for me and my choice was the Creative Zen Micro Photo, which is an amazing little player I must say. But after a friend of mine told me the rumour MS was designing it's own mp3 player i was determined to see it it was true. After all I was really happy with the recently acquired xbox 360. Some time later I bought it and have to say it is really good at what it does. I have found things that I don't like but hey, nobody's perfect.

Originally I was going to write about What is that which makes music become 'pop' music, but after a hot debate (it wasn't that hot, it wasn't even a debate really) with a friend about what groups were black metal, which were symphonic black metal from those of Death metal and it's sub genres. According to what I read on Wikipedia (which IMHO is a valuable source of information, i can discuss this later) and to what i could get a grasp on and my ability to describe it is the following:
D e a T H M e T a L
What is death metal? Well, putting it simple: it's theme is based on death, this means it's lyrics are based on death, how it feels, killing somebody else, war, famine, disease, anything that leads to death. Classic examples of this genre are Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, Morbid Angel, Carcass. Of course there is also a musical structure around it, which differs greatly from Black Metal. The use of aggressive/brutal riffs, fast paced drums and guttural grunts are a signature of this genre. I guess i will cite wikipedia as I may distort the meaning.
Death metal is a sub-genre of heavy metal that evolved out of thrash metal during the early 1980s. Commonly recognized characteristics include usually violent or dark lyrics which focus on death as a nihilistic metaphor (although lately more philosophy-based lyrics, such as those of later Death have become popular as well), chromatic progressions and a narrative or "story telling" song structure such that there is not a verse-chorus cycle as much as an ongoing development of themes and motifs. It is usually identified by downtuned rhythm guitars, fast percussion, and dynamic intensity. "Blast beats" are frequently used to add to the ferocity of the modern music. The vocals are commonly low gurgles named death grunt, growl, or death growl. This kind of vocalising is distorted by use of the throat and guts, unlike traditional singing techniques which discourages this technique.
If you are interested in learning more about this genre, check this article out.

I will not waste any more of your precious time and move on onto the article:
Black metal started in the early 1980s with bands such as Venom, Bathory, Celtic Frost, Mercyful Fate, and Hellhammer. The second wave of black metal, an essentially Scandinavian movement, started in the late 1980s and early 1990s, primarily in Norway. Black metal has gathered intense criticism from many sectors of society, for its brutal aesthetic, its misanthropic spirit, and the extreme right wing ideologies displayed by some musicians working in the National Socialist Black Metal subgenre. However, at the same time it experienced a meteoric rise in popularity among metal fans during the 1990s.
Black metal can display, but is not limited to, the following characteristics:
Guitars
- Fast guitars with alternate or tremolo picking
- Standard tuned guitars (In contrast to death metal which is typically tuned down.)
- Relatively thin guitar sound or relatively thick guitar sound—usually not in the middle.
Drums
- Double bass, blast beat, and D-beat drumming
- Fast, repetitive, aggressive drums, often with blast beats. At other times, the drums can take a slower role usually accompanied by a very dry and empty tone — especially for the effect of the atmosphere of the music. On occasion, some groups such as Burzum and Xasthur will dispense with drums altogether in certain song segments.
Lyrics and vocals
- A distinct "rasped" vocal style, a very guttural rasp, which is reminiscent of a torture. This is basically standard in every black metal, though there are exceptions, such as Primordial, who are still classed black metal without the rasp vocal. Some bands, particularly symphonic black metal bands, incorporate clean vocals, usually of a male choir sound, though this is used for atmospheric purposes.
- Lyrics that often take the form of Satanic, Pagan, or occult themes which blaspheme Christianity.
- Lyrics that celebrate the cold, darkness, forests, and other natural surroundings of northern European countries, reflecting modern black metal's origins in Scandinavia.
- Increasingly lyrics are being penned with themes of war, misanthropy, and desolation, sometimes apocalyptic, whose causes are rooted in human nature and actions. However, there are some exceptions (although they usually incorporate these previous themes as well).
- Lyrics are commonly inspired by fantasy, in particular the works of Tolkien set in Middle Earth. For example, the Austrian band Summoning focuses almost exclusively on Middle Earth for their themes and content. Other bands create their own fictional realms, for instance the lyrics of Immortal depict an imaginary kingdom called Blashyrkh (Blash-eerk), which is ruled by a raven king named Ravendark.
Atmospheric and structural elements
- Unconventional song structures that are devoid of verse and chorus segments, and contain extended and repetitive instrumental passages, with less use of vocals than other styles of metal.
- Less focus on dynamic rhythm than death metal. Very few black metal bands exhibit the rhythmic complexity inherent in death metal, and even if they do, they usually exhibit at least a few of the above-listed criteria if they are still generally classified as black metal.
- Occasional electronic keyboard use. The harpsichord, violin, organ, and choir settings are most common, which gives the music an orchestral feel or a cathedral-like setting. Some bands tend to use keyboards very frequently, whether it be as an instrument or even as the basis of their entire sound. They are generally placed under the symphonic black metal label.
- Certain bands have taken to recording with full symphony orchestras, but these bands are regarded by more austere black metal fans as not being 'true', i.e. Dimmu Borgir (however this has nothing to do with the use of the orchestra but how the band now conduct themselves seemingly out of the black metal genre).
- Limited production used intentionally as a statement against mainstream music and/or to reflect the mood of the music by creating a certain atmosphere. This 'underproduced' effect is often achieved by cutting out low and high frequencies, leaving just the mid frequency range. It is often said that this was due to a low budget, but this often wasn't the case. This production style is often considered an essential element of "true" black metal. See Darkthrone's Transilvanian Hunger album, a highly influential example of this production style.
Aesthetics
- Cold, dark, sad, melancholy, reflective, tragic, meditative, or gloomy atmosphere.
- Many black metal musicians adopt a "neo-medieval" costume style that may include leather, spikes, bondage gear, "archaic" armor and weaponry, and facial corpse paint.
- Many black metal musicians choose to adopt stage names, typically patterned after occult and/or fantasy characters; however, this practice is not universal.
The complete article can be found here . A list of Black Metal bands can be found here, in which Cradle of Filth and Dimmu borgir are listed, this was the beginning of the discussion with my friend, as to whether CoF and DB were Black or Death.

Coming ZUNE !!
The only player i have had was a cd mp3 player, which was cool, but a heavy, battery-sucker cd walkman. I considered for a while getting a Creative Zen, which played video, pictures, i think i had an FM tuner and a voice recorder. But i found out about the Zune by a friend who told me that M$ was in the process on developing this gadget.
Why not get an iPod and let go right? 'Cause I loath iTunes. Simple as that, I hate the fact that i have to use iTunes so i can make playlists, and let me tell you I have a HUGE library. I use Windows media player and there will be a player for the Zune, the zune marketplace which is similar to WMP 11, if not merged to it. For a fee you can suscribe to an 'all you can eat' membership. It will have Wi-fi, so you can share mp3's to other zunes and xbox 360 connectivity. One doubt i have is the way someone will scroll through the library. Release date is set for this November 14, just 7 days (i guess) after Emergence Day (the day Gears of War comes out).
Anyway, there is a lot of stuff out there on the Zune: the ComingZune page, the official Zune page, a blog, a virtual pressroom. So check it out.
This is a video showing the GUI the Zune will use, and the video playing as well.
And this one shows a commercial being broadcasted over the US about the ZUNE, cool.
And my favorite video, the Fiery Sharing Birds:
Cheers to all of you Zune fans.
Halo Movie??
This, apparently, came as good news for Bungie, Microsoft and Peter Jackson as this would let the make a movie without Hollywood Intervention. Of course, they still need the money, which Peter is trying to get and as of this the movie is postponed for release (nooooo!!!!!) till summer 2008.
"At this time Microsoft, Peter Jackson and Fran WalshLet's see if this is done while we are still young.
have mutually agreed to postpone making a feature film based on the Halo video
game. While it will undoubtedly take a little longer for Halo to reach the big
screen, we are confident that the final feature film will be well worth the
wait."

Sobre PARANOIA y otras ESCALAS
Pasando a otras cosas, en la empresa en la que laboro se han vuelto demasiado paranoicos. El caso fue hubo varias bajas en la empresa (como en todas) y alguien que quedo muy enojado envió un correo donde se mencionaban muchas cosas digamos no muy buenas para la empresa y donde se nos alertaba a los empleados de esta empresa a poner atención porq nos harían lo mismo sin tocarse el corazón. Entre otras cosas se quejaba de una persona en especial y al parecer existieron dos versiones del correo:
- Uno de los correos que llegaron contenía solamente el texto donde se nos 'alertaba' de alguna injusticia.
- El otro correo contenía lo mismo, pero con un 'history' de correos que aparentemente se movieron solamente en estratos altos de la compañía y un archivo adjunto con información salarial.
Por lo que se, esta es la segunda vez que pasa, y en lugar de estar chingando a la gente de adentro, necesitan tener un sistema para evitar intrusiones en sus servidores de esta manera y no pasar a traernos a los demás que ni vela en ese entrierro tuvimos.

PGR 3
Very well, i have been playing of lately Project Gotham Racing 3 which is a racing simulator for the Xbox 360. A simulator consists of, as its name implies, simulate the physics of real cars. One thing I was amazed at was the graphic part of the game. The sound effects are awesome as well as the vast car collection.
This game if filled with features that make this game one of the best racing games out there. For one, you can take photos of your cars as you race, in a saved replay or in your garage. The picture is saved in the xbox 360 memory device and, if you're connected on xbox live, you can upload these pics to PGR3 homepage where you can download them to your computer and share with friends and family. Hell, a contest took place not long ago which consisted on the best picture taken (there were different categories, of course). The picture on the right won the best car photo category.
Another extra is the ability to create your own routes, which enables a new challenge if you are a hardcore gamer and know all the tracks even when blind-folded. You can also tune-in the 'Heroes Channel' on Gotham TV and watch some of the best races on xbox live. You receive information on your world rank at the end of each solo career, depending on how many Kudos you earned during the race. Kudos are points you receive for performing various 'stunts' while racing, like drifting, drafting, power braking, use of the e-brake, two wheels on the air, four wheel on the air, and many more.
On the other side you not only race against other cars, you have to pass tests on velocity, speed, skill which breaks the monotonous ring of racing games.
I love this game, but i cannot wait until Forza Motorsport 2 is released. I'll tell you about this game later, much later.

DRAGONS
Ok, now back at the topic. Dragons, what can i say about them. I'm no expert in terminology, nor i know EVERYTHING there is to know either. One thing im certain of: I looooove dragons. Mystical creatures they are. And they appear in almost every culture, and in ancient ones more often, though they were named differently.
Dragons are often pictured as evil, possesing a vast wisdom superior by far than our own. SOmetimes thay are represented as savage animals with extraordinaire abilities that make them almost invulnerable to common means of slaughter. Sometimes they are of divine status. Anyway they are known by, dragons are mythical creatures that amaze me, oriental as well as occidental.
I should write some more, but morpheus is forcing me into his world..... maybe some other time i will continue this yada yada.

Let's get a little complicated...
The case is really cool, if you happen to be deciding to buy a Cooler Mastes case, buy them, they kick a$$. But before i say wonders about CM, i shall wait 1 week, and hear what does the CM provider has to say, ok?
In other stuff, one of my best friends is gone to Turks & Caicos Islands. He's working there, as a manwhore. He heard about foreigners paying big money for mexican pretty boys.... he's not pretty but he's mexican. anyway, he's an Architect, and he recently was hired to supervise the construction of this touristic complex. And they are working his ass off but, ma, i would do the same if at the end of the day i had a glimpse of the caribean like that in the photo. He's publishing some pic's here, but if you don't know him, maybe u will not know the password
Anyway, i'll be back (i hope) for some updates today.
