You Will Never Work In Television Again

I cannot stop listening to this song. A couple of weeks ago, while I was warming-up for a run, I heard this band for the very first time. I guess I initially saw a video on Facebook, it was a very poor quality video in which a band was rehearsing in some sort of a dark basement. The video also had a very poor sound quality, I barely heard what the singer was singing about. Yet, I identified Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood and I thought the band was Radiohead. The song was catchy, with a lot of noise, with a lot of drums and bass.

The band was playing this song. Beyond the singer's voice, it didn't sound like Radiohead. Yorke played bass guitar and sang something I couldn't understand. Greenwood played electric guitar. An unknown drummer hit the snare drum and the hi hat.

I wonder which kind of vibe will this song remind me of in a couple of weeks or months, when this awful uncertainty comes to an end. Will this awful uncertainty end...?, will I ever find the job of my life...?, am I doomed to hunt for temporary contracts for eternity...? You don't know how sad it is to save money all the time, you travel all over the world every year, you don't work a minute for free. I sort of envy you.

An Airbag Saved My Life

For almost ten years I hadn't had vacations. I decided to take my wife to Taxco de Alarcon. It's located at the southwest of Mexico City, miles away from Acapulco. 

The experience brought me some memories of my childhood. 

Eventually, it reminded me of three guys I met at the School of Psychology. A couple of them were friends from senior high school, or they told me so. The other was a woman and the three of them were also friends at the School of Psychology. I met them at a boring class of Theories of Personality, I guess. We worked together. I've been thinking of them.  

I wonder what's up with her.
