Theres a reason for cellphones to have the mute mode and here is a great example of when to use it.

La razon para que exista el boton de silencio es parecidisima a este momento. Cuando se esta en algo importante en la politica el sonido que distraiga a alguien debe ser cero.

This is how elections work in USA, there are many differences on how elections works in Mexico, but we have to start somewhere.

Un video de como se llevan acabo las elecciones en EUA, las elecciones en Mexico funcionan un poco diferente, pero de ello hablaremos pronto. Tenemos que empezar en algun punto.

The next 55 days, will be different than any other set of days, this will be the highest point of the last couple of years. It will summarize what I being doing. We start the campaign for the county official a week from today, and if we can make him will I will show my skills of how to build a winning team, if we don’t win the election I will have learn a lot, thats not the point of this but we need to keep a perspective.
We are starting on the 2nd position on the worst case scenario we are on the 3rd one, but going up is going to be easy keep the first position its going to take us everything.
I will be living with a new story line. Everything that is going to pass through me will be according to the next lines:

1. There are three states of being. Not knowing, action and completion.
2. Accept that everything is a draft. It helps to get it done.
3. There is no editing stage.
4. Pretending you know what you’re doing is almost the same as knowing what you are doing, so just accept that you know what you’re doing even if you don’t and do it.
5. Banish procrastination. If you wait more than a week (in campaign an hour or half a day) to get an idea done, abandon it.
6. The point of being done is not to finish but to get other things done.
7. Once you’re done you can throw it away.
8. Laugh at perfection. It’s boring and keeps you from being done.
9. People without dirty hands are wrong. Doing something makes you right.
10. Failure counts as done. So do mistakes.
11. Destruction is a variant of done.
12. If you have an idea and publish it on the internet, that counts as a ghost of done.
13. Done is the engine of more.

A short about life on a long term.

Un corto sobre la vida a largo plazo, el y ella en pocos segundos pasaran de ser una pareja que se toma la mano a unos viejitos y al final veran el como se hizo.

Esta semana fue sobre relaciones humanas.

This is a post that its only going to be in English, and to enjoy it, you need to be at my website blog.josemariosantamaria.com.
Its a post about break-up’s. Stories that were collected, and explanations on how people deal with them. It took me a lot of time to get over some of mine, and I realize that its not that I cant deal with them its how the other side deal with it and you take it as your part too. Any way, I still love the people that have been erasing me from their life’s. Enjoy the audio, remember you can always pause it or stop it and never listen to it.

Memorable moments in the audio:

-Lauren says “I don’t even walk on that street”

-”She calculate the day she would be over (the relationship with) him”

-You put some energy into it and some day it just stops

-Singing “You are also gone and I’m also sad”

-With Phill Collins, you think that I will stop feeling the way bad like I am now ?

Phill- You kind of like feeling bad dont you?

since you don’t want to really get over it, you have to sort it out.

-Girl remembering about the audio “I used to only hear it with my exact inter monologue from when I was there in the studio. And when I hear certain things I can still remember the exact thoughts running through my head”

If you cant listen all of it, go to the minute 51:30 which is an amazing monologue

-Up until yesterday if you ask me if my marriage was a happy one I would said yes. And the last night out of the blue, my wife comes back and ask me she wants a divorce.

-Puppyboy: Are you even listening? You know maybe if you have listen a little better during your marriage your wife wouldn’t want a divorce. Did you ever think of that? It wouldn’t surprise me if you never trow the thing she brought you either.

The first 100 days of work of Mr Obama have been followed by everyone. But the interesting part is what the people that work in the White House have being doing. An amazing example is this one. The Flickr photo stream of some of the best photos of a presidency that I have seen. Check all the original photographs in Flickr and theres also a great article from the Daily Mail.
