Es que simplemente vas a quedarte ahí y observar cómo me quemo
no pasa nada porque me gusta la forma en que duele
sólo vas a quedarte ahí y oírme llorar
vale porque me encanta la forma en que mientes
Me encanta la forma en que mientes
[Eminem - Verso 1]
No puedo decirte lo que realmente es
Sólo puedo decirte lo que se siente
y en este momento es un cuchillo de acero en la tráquea
no puedo respirar, pero todavía lucho mientras pueda luchar
siempre y cuando el mal parezca bien, es como que estoy
en pleno vuelo
subidón de amor, borracho de mi odio
es como si estuviera inhalando pintura (dolor) y me encanta cuanto más sufro, me asfixio
y justo antes de que estoy a punto de ahogarme, ella me resucita
maldito me odia
y me encanta, espera, ¿dónde vas?
Te dejo,. No lo harás. Vuelve. Estamos de vuelta
Ahí vamos otra vez.
tan loco, porque cuando va bien, va genial
Soy superman con el viento en su espalda, ella es Lois Lane
pero cuando va mal es horrible, me siento tan avergonzado que me chino
quién es ese tío? Ni siquiera sé su nombre
Puse las manos sobre ella
nunca caeré tan bajo otra vez
Supongo que no conozco mi propia fuerza
[Estribillo]
[Eminem - Verse 2]
¿Alguna vez has amado a alguien tanto que apenas puedes respirar
cuando estás con ellos ,
se encuentran y ninguno de los dos sabe lo que les dio
tengo esa cálida difuminada sensación
sí esos escalofríos que solías sentir
Ahora estás jodidamente harto de miralos
juraste que nunca le golpearía, que nunca le harías nada para lastimarlos
Ahora estáis cara a cara vomitando veneno en vuestras palabras cuando las escupis
se tiran y aflojan de los pelos, rasca, garra, golpea
tíralos, atrápalos.
Tan perdido en los momentos cuando está en ellos
Es la rabia que nos poseyó que nos controla a los dos.
Así que dicen que es mejor irse cada uno por su camino
Supongo que no te conocen
porque hoy, eso fue ayer
ayer, se acabó, es un día diferente
suena como un disco rayado repitiéndose, pero le prometiste,
la próxima vez te controlarías
No tienes posibilidad
la vida no es un juego de nintendo,
Pero mentiste nuevamente
Ahora te toca verla marchar por la venta
Supongo que por eso lo llaman cristal/dolor de la ventana.
[Eminem - Verso 3]
ahora sé que dijimos cosas, hicimos cosas, que no queríamos decir
y volvemos a caer en los mismos patrones, misma rutina
pero su temperamento es tan malo como el mío es,
eres lo mismo que yo
cuando se trata del amor eres igual de ciega
Nena, por favor regresa, no fuiste tú, nena fui yo
tal vez nuestra relación no es tan loca como parece
tal vez eso es lo que sucede cuando un tornado se encuentra con un volcán
(aunque) Lo único que sé es que te amo demasiado como para alejarme
entra, recoge las bolsas de la acera
¿no oyes la sinceridad en mi voz cuando hablo?
Te lo dije, es culpa mía, mírame a los ojos
la próxima vez que esté enojado dirigiré mi puño a la pared
la próxima vez, no habrá próxima vez
Pido disculpa, a pesar de que sé que es mentira
Estoy cansado de los juegos sólo la quiero de vuelta
soy un mentiroso
sé que si alguna vez intenta jodídamente irse de nuevo
voy a atarla a la cama y poner la casa en llamas

'POLITENESS' IS THE WORD (Idea taken from 'Grease' is the word...)
'You don't lose anything by being polite', equivalent in English for the superb "Lo cortés no quita lo valiente" in Spanish. Or 'No harm in being polite'; "Ser amable no cuesta nada"... In Spanish these expressions are known as 'dichos', whereas in English you can refer to them as 'Sayings' or 'Idioms' '. Other interesting ones, to my liking, could be: ' 'Easy come, easy go'; 'Kindness costs nothing';'What goes around, comes around'; 'Lovers come and go, but true friends are forever';
'It takes guts to keep one's feet on the ground'; 'Try never to bite the hand that feeds you'... and my very, very favourite 'Never judge a book by its cover' (or, as it is also today said, 'by its movie'). And in a similar line of idea (ja, ja)... 'Never judge a lady by her lover'.
Do you have a favourite saying of your own? It would be really great to receive your suggestions. Much obliged!!!
LET'S TRY TO REMEMBER
Please, be polite, be kind -even if I am not. Thank you!!!

IN CASE YOU'D LIKE TO DEDICATE A LITTLE TIME TO YOUR MUM ON 'HER' OFFICIAL DAY, HERE'S SOME SUGGESTIONS. HELP YOURSELF!!
M - O - T - H - E - R "M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,

"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,
Put them all together, they spell
"MOTHER," A word that means the world to me.

Only One Mother Hundreds of stars in the pretty sky, Hundreds of shells on the shore together, Hundreds of birds that go singing by, Hundreds of lambs in the sunny weather. Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn, Hundreds of bees in the purple clover, Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn, But only one mother the world wide over.
Mother's Love Her love is like an island in life's ocean, vast and wide A peaceful, quiet shelter From the wind, the rain, the tide. 'Tis bound on the north by Hope, By Patience on the West, By tender Counsel on the South And on the East by Rest. Above it like a beacon light Shine Faith, and Truth, and Prayer; And thro' the changing scenes of life I find a heaven there. Author Unknown
Super Mom
Mom, you're a wonderful mother,
So gentle, yet so strong.
The many ways you show you care
Always make me feel I belong.
You're patient when I'm foolish;
You give guidance when I ask;
It seems you can do most anything;
You're the master of every task.
You're a dependable source of comfort;
You're my cushion when I fall.
You help in times of trouble;
You support me whenever I call.
I love you more than you know; You have my total respect. If I had my choice of mothers, You'd be the one I'd select!
And finally, Here's a super song by 'The Pretenders' you can sing along with your bros', sis' and Dad to that great lady in your life. Its title is "Hymn to Her".
Pretenders Hymn to her
let me inside you
into your room
i've heard it's lined
with the things you don't show
lay me beside you
down on the floor
i've been your lover
from the womb to the tomb
i dress as your daughter
when the moon becomes round
you be my mother
when everything's gone
and she will always carry on
something is lost
but something is found
they will keep on
speaking her name
somethings change
some stay the same
keep beckoning to me
from behind that closed door
the maid and the mother
and the crone that's grown old
I hear your voice
coming out of that hole
I listen to you
and i want some more
I listen to you
and i want some more
and she will always carry on
something is lost
but something is found
they will keep on
speaking her name
some things change
some stay the same
Here's something that might surprise you more than you would expect. It's the so-called BODY LANGUAGE.
Body language is a form of non-verbal communication consisting of body pose, gestures, and eye movements. Humans send and interpret such signals subconsciously.
It is often said that human communication consists of 93% body language and paralinguistic cues, while only 7% of communication consists of words themselves- however, Albert Mehrabian, the researcher whose 1960s work is the source of these statistics, has stated that this is a misunderstanding of the findings see "Misinterpretation of Meharabian's rule" Others assert that "Research has suggested that between 60 and 70 percent of all meaning is derived from nonverbal behavior."
Body language may provide clues as to the attitude or state of mind of a person. For example, it may indicate aggression, attentiveness, boredom, relaxed state, pleasure, amusement and intoxication among many other cues.
Understanding body language
The technique of 'reading' people is used frequently. For example, the idea of mirroring body language to put people at ease is commonly used in interviews. Mirroring the body language of someone else indicates that they are understood.
Body language signals may have a goal other than communication. Both people would keep this in mind. Observers limit the weight they place on non-verbal cues. Signalers clarify their signals to indicate the biological origin of their actions. One example would be yawning, showing lack of interest, desire to change the topic.
Physical Expression
Physical expressions like waving, pointing, touching and slouching are all forms of nonverbal communication. The study of body movement and expression is known as kinesics. Humans move their bodies when communicating because, as research has shownit helps "ease the mental effort when communication is difficult." Physical expressions reveal many things about the person using them. For example, gestures can emphasize a point or relay a message, posture can reveal boredom or great interest, and touch can convey encouragement or caution.
One of the most basic and powerful body-language signals is when a person crosses his or her arms across the chest. This can indicate that a person is putting up an unconscious barrier between themselves and others. It can also indicate that the person's arms are cold which would be clarified by rubbing the arms or huddling. When the overall situation is amicable, it can mean that a person is thinking deeply about what is being discussed. But in a serious or confrontational situation, it can mean that a person is expressing opposition. This is especially so if the person is leaning away from the speaker. A harsh or blank facial expression often indicates outright hostility.
Consistent eye contact can indicate that a person is thinking positively of what the speaker is saying. It can also mean that the other person doesn't trust the speaker enough to "take his eyes off" the speaker. Lack of eye contact can indicate negativity. On the other hand, individuals with anxiety disorders are often unable to make eye contact without discomfort. Eye contact is often a secondary and misleading gesture because we are taught from an early age to make eye contact when speaking. If a person is looking at you but is making the arms-across-chest signal, the eye contact could be indicative that something is bothering the person, and that he wants to talk about it. Or if while making direct eye contact a person is fiddling with something, even while directly looking at you, it could indicate the attention is elsewhere. Also there are three standard areas that a person will look which represent different states of being.
If the person looks from one eye to the other then to the forehead it is a sign that they are taking an authoritative position. If they move from one eye to the other then to the nose, that signals that they are engaging in what they consider to be a "level conversation" with neither party holding superiority. The last case is from one eye to the other and then down to the lips. This is a strong indication of romantic feelings.
Disbelief is often indicated by averted gaze, or by touching the ear or scratching one's chin. When a person is not being convinced by what someone is saying, the attention invariably wanders, and the eyes will stare away for an extended period.
Boredom is indicated by the head tilting to one side, or by the eyes looking straight at the speaker but becoming slightly unfocused.
Interest can be indicated through posture or extended eye contact, such as standing and listening properly.
Deceit or the act of withholding information can sometimes be indicated by touching the face during conversation.
Excessive blinking is a well-known indicator of someone who is lying. Recently, evidence has surfaced that the absence of blinking can also represent lying as a more reliable factor than excessive blinking.
It should be noted that some people use and understand body language differently, or not at all. Interpreting their gestures and facial expressions (or lack thereof) in the context of normal body language usually leads to misunderstandings and misinterpretations (especially if body language is given priority over spoken language). It should also be stated that people from different cultures can interpret body language in different ways.
Examples list
Hands on knees: indicates readiness.
Hands on hips: indicates impatience or possibly the person is angry
Lock your hands behind your back: indicates self-control.
Locked hands behind head: states confidence.
Sitting with a leg over the arm of the chair: suggests indifference.
Legs and feet pointed in a particular direction: the direction where more interest is felt
Crossed arms: indicates submissiveness.
Body language and space
Interpersonal space refers to the psychological "bubble" that we can imagine exists when someone is standing way too close to us. Research has revealed that there are four different zones of interpersonal space. The first zone is called intimate distanceand ranges from touching to about eighteen inches (46 cm) apart. Intimate distance is the space around us that we reserve for lovers, children, as well as close family members and friends. The second zone is called personal distanceand begins about an arm's length away; starting around eighteen inches (46 cm) from our person and ending about four feet (122 cm) away. We use personal distance in conversations with friends, to chat with associates, and in group discussions. The third zone of interpersonal space is called social distance and is the area that ranges from four to eight feet (1.2 m - 2.4 m) away
from you. Social distance is reserved for strangers, newly formed groups, and new acquaintances. The fourth identified zone of space is public distance and includes anything more than eight feet (2.4 m) away from you. This zone is used for speeches, lectures, and theatre; essentially, public distance is that range reserved for larger audiences.
Unintentional gestures
Recently, there has been huge interest in studying human behavioural clues that could be useful for developing an interactive and adaptive human-machine system. Unintentional human gestures such as making an eye rub, a chin rest, a lip touch, a nose itch, a head scratch, an ear scratch, crossing arms, and a finger lock have been found conveying some useful information in specific context. Some researchers have tried to extract such gestures in a specific context of educational applications.
