It has already become tradition, with September, to publish some list of things that we should or should not do. There were ten things we wouldn't have to do from the age of 35; five things we should do before the age of 40. Like all traditions, this one also has an absurd, but at the same time it consolidates us, it makes us feel within a cycle. So, and imitating Georges Perec, I'm going to complete the list of things to do before I die. He was asked for 50 on a radio show in 1981 and reached 37. I'll have to settle for listing 20.
The first thing to do before death, 1. Live -- I could also put myself in the end to get an even more exciting column. 2. Order the library for once. 3. Stop smoking. 4th. Start smoking in order to stop smoking. 5. Sleep eight hours and not nine, ten. 6. Waste time, but less. 7. He lives in a foreign city only by name of Arequipa, Ulan Bator, Timbuktu. 8th. Visit to Salinas de Añana. 9. Acquisition of the Montaigne Tests, the three volumes, in the translation of Eduardo Gil himself. 10. Reading of the Montaigne Tests, the three volumes, in the translation of Eduardo Gil himself. 11. Learn how to ride a horse and then fall off the horse, like Montaigne. 12. Learn to make second voices. 13. Learn Arabic to save my skin if you ever came across the Islamic State. 14. Attend a bertsos session. 15. I write a science fiction novel, which I have no imagination. 16. Write a snake that fills the void of Goenkale on Basque public television. 17. We wrote a song lyrics for singing Ken Zazpi, Izaro, Mikel Markez. 18. Dinner with Niko Etxart. 19 Buy a tomb for me in Biriatu. And the last thing before death, 20. To die to see what people say about me, for example, these columns that have become an absurd but consolable tradition.

Euskaraldia comes back. Apparently, it will be in the spring of next year. They have already presented it and the truth is that it has surprised me; not Euskaraldia himself, but his motto: We'll do it by moving around.

I do not know if you also have the same perception – I recognise this: here I have started to write in a scientific way. I am referring to the natural extension of the word laziness. I hear more and more in the corners of Hego Euskal Herria: Basque, Spanish and, of course,... [+]
Many at Christmas feel more lazy than illusion when we think about meals and family gatherings. But we anticipate that it is not food that makes us feel collectively uncomfortable, but the normativity that defines the traditional family. Moreover, we would dare to say that the... [+]
I have always found the way in Spanish to the carriages that can be found here and there: humiliating. Isn't it a pretty light, white name or doesn't it have any connotation? After all, everything that was going on there had to be humiliated. It is known that for the god of... [+]
The end of the Syrian Arab Republic has caused great surprise at the way in which it has taken place: fast and almost without resistance. However, it is not so strange when we consider that the country was destroyed, impoverished and trodden. Most Syrians have long been... [+]
Novelty is usually one of the most heard words associated with the Durango Fair. The novelty is there, and here's the novelty. However, in some cases it is sufficient to give a different aspect to the previous one to paste that label. The CDs and remastered reeditions with... [+]
The Basque country has a very large water flow in the shortage. Every local drop curls and revives our culture. Offer a sea of water to that thirst. Although the Basque Country has come from a deep and dark well, we have all drawn our sample of salt water and turned it into a... [+]
Young people start consuming pornography before, as porn is their only sex education. How on earth have we come here?
Today, it has to be acknowledged that thanks to the Internet it is much easier to see pornography. Unfortunately, through a click, the 7-9 year-old boy comes to... [+]
