What if Marx was right?

-Half the world, three billion people, live on less than two dollars a day.
(La mitad del mundo vive con menos de dos dolares por dia)
-The GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of the poorest 48 nations (quarter of the world) is less than the wealth of the world’s three richest people combined.
(El PIB de los 48 paises mas pobres sumado, es menor que la suma de las riquezas de las tres personas mas ricas)
-Less than 1% of what the world spent every year on weapons was needed to put every child into school by the year 2000 and yet it didn't happen.
(Menos del 1% del total mundial anualmente utilizado en armas era necesario para educar a todos los menores del mundo en el 2000, sin embargo esto no ocurrio)
-20% of the population in the developed nations, consume 86% of the world’s goods.
(El 20% de la poblacion en paises desarrollados consume el 86% de los recursos mundiales)
-According to UNICEF, 30,000 children die each day due to poverty
(30,000 ninhos mueren diaramenete por culpa de la pobreza)

These are not my statistics. They are from the United Nations, UNICEF and other serious organizations in case you think I am exagerating...

Just wondering...

"Blizzard '06"

Today, NY woke up with the biggest snowstorm ever recorded. (technically the biggest amount of snow measured in Central Park).
Last night while walking in the middle of the night wondering the streets under the snow, I thought about the beauty of spontaneity, the spontaneity of the snow, the silence of the snow, quiet streets. As a naive, newly born urban snow citizen, there is still a lot to discover about it.
Right now here in AltdotCoffee, a sort of punky-east village-cyber café with loud music on the speakers, people sitting all around filling up the second hand sofas sipping their coffees avoiding the “Blizzard ‘06” (it’s an interesting phenomenon how every event in this country is labeled with some Hollywood film title, why is that? Under the influence of the 7th Art I guess…)
Ji, a Korean-Brazilian friend from my street just walked in. Check his website. The guy is really good, no kidding. www.pleaseenjoy.com.
Sunday NYC.

Here some pics.

Coming soon...

My list of Books and Music I've been discovering and falling for in these latitudes...

Gotta go to work now...

NY is sunny, crispy, cold and bright.
Hug.
