Virgin of laughter

Youth joke. The apostles on the boat see Jesus walking near the surface of the water. Peter, imitating the Master, goes to the water, but sinks. Then Jesus is angry: "The txotx, walking on rocks, because I am fascinated by the miracle."

I've heard a lot of similar, sometimes quite gruesome, things about religious people, always tolerated with healthy laughter. The writer Bruce Marshall: "No one's faith is real until he starts making jokes around him."

This Catholic, apostolic and Roman Christian I am, I have to acknowledge that the Virgin expression itself seemed to me in the contraditio in terminis adolescence, absurd. I later understood, the dogma, that this type of assertion may have a literary meaning, and that it must be recognized as praised in some times of history and cultures, that it is not necessary to take the stricto sensu.

Until the birth of the surrogate pregnancy account. What if it were true? Would the ancient shamans or prophets also have the secret of virginal motherhood? The fashionable historical-mythological novels, which show so many memelorists, have the Hayuco here.

That's what the party organized! Typical retolica for insulting the Andalusians. I saw it and laughed

In an atmosphere of Easter, Catalan comedians took the Virgen del Rocío alproja in a pickle. That's what the party organized! Typical retolica for insulting the Andalusians. I saw the scrollwork and laughed at the Andalusians with no knowledge of mocking. Even though Arantzazu, Idoia, Alentbaliz or Arantzazu did, I wouldn't have hurt myself. But in the years when I was comical, I probably wouldn't have imagined that. I shall detail it.

The fundamental principles of humor are: 1. Anyone, anything and anything can be used to create laughter. Humorous creativity without limits. 2. Since laughter and humor are as valuable for physical and mental health as drugs, we must incorporate the Hippocrates principle: primum non nocere (the first, do no harm). 3. The rules of communication are inescapable. If comedian is not right, it is a mistake in his professionalism and he has no right to complain. 4th. The comedian is defined in his previous options. 5. And the recipient himself with his answer.

On this occasion, most of the changes have been political, even those who do not want the Church, from the far right to the edge of the left... and in election time. They take me to the chin. To relax, I doubt what sings to the Virgin, Goodbye to the mother of Jesus or Salve Rocío. Perhaps in Latin: Salve Regina. The three gorgeous ones.

I received your e-mail in personal mail on the strike portals. At first, like many others, I thought it was to let you know what options we have in the face of the strike. But no, the e-mail received was a political and communicative movement against the strike.

The aesthetic of

This weekend I've been thinking about the word 'aesthetic' in relation to a phrase said by a friend: “This work is aesthetic.” I have studied the etymology of the word aesthetic, it seems that its meaning was originally perceived through the senses, and it was later associated... [+]


Industrial policies: the tool of whom?

In recent years, the concept of industrial policy has reappeared strongly at various levels. The organization that was the hammer of neoliberalism, the International Monetary Fund, today insists that markets have been pressured to allocate resources efficiently and solve these... [+]


The personality

The other day in Bilbao, I met a friend at the Bira bar. We were very happy at the Tar and I said: “Of course, since you’re Guipúzcoa, hahahaha.” And he insisted that he was not Guipuzcoan. Without me understanding it, I kept saying, “Ah! Is it not? You were born in New... [+]


Gurasotasun baimena

Zalantza asko izan ditut, meloia ireki ala ez. Ausartuko naiz, zer demontre! Aspaldian buruan dudan gogoeta jarri nahi dut mahai gainean: ez da justua erditu den emakumearen eta beste gurasoaren baimen-iraupena bera izatea. Hobeto esanda, baimen-denbora bera izanda ere, ez... [+]

Don't say colonization

I just saw a series from another sad detective. All the plots take place on a remote island in Scotland. You know how these fictions work: many dead, ordinary people but not so many, and the dark green landscape. This time it reminded me of a trip I made to the Scottish... [+]

The Basque host country?

To be honest, I don't know why I'm writing this. In today’s hostile environment, opinions of this kind are not well received. Perhaps LUZ will not publish this because it does not correspond to the opinions they have published so far (but if they have finally decided to publish... [+]

Strikes of glutamate

And for another year, the unions have organized prefabricated strikes for us. And we, individually, will decide whether or not to join the strike, without the need for any assembly at the school.

The strike model that I was taught is no longer in vogue, it seems. In my... [+]

Systems of Life

Life surrounds everything, it is limited and fragile. To live good lives, it seems to me that the body knows what to do, while the mind, although it knows (when it is well informed), often sees the body deliberately silence. In this silence the mind opens itself to relations... [+]
