“Life in a Day” is the title of the first film that was completely edited with uploaded videos to YouTube. A small revolution for film culture. The interesting thing about this project is that all videos that were used to edit the film had a simple but emphatic directive: they should represent a snapshot of everyday life of anyone who would like to participate in this great project, with the pattern that had to be recorded on July 24, 2010.

So in early July 2010, YouTube made a call to which about 80,000 thousand people responded, who recorded this little snippet of life resulting in 4500 hours of footage. Those involved in this mammoth project were no others than Oscar winners Kevi MacDonald and Ridley Scott, mastermind behind some of the most iconic movies of our generation: Bladerunner and Alien.

“Life in a Day” takes us into a personal world as seen from the subjective viewpoint of each participant who –through Kevi MacDonald- leads us on a journey around the world. Peru, Ghana, India and the Philippines are just some of the many scenarios that serve to tell an individual story and become part of incredible social panopticon that captures that vague and abstract concept of “present”. Therefore, what most interested the makers of this film was to show the reality that usually gets out of hand in a culture focused towards the future and dominated by the sweet and seductive illusion constructed by the media image.

All of us, for a reason or another, make some mistakes in the bed at the wrong time. We are not perfect and many factors can affect a “magical” evening in any sense. However, some of these errors can be solved by paying a bit more attention at the moment, and the thing is that although sometimes sex just helps us overcome the “horny devil” it has to be done correctly. So here are a few tips.

The first and most classic mistake is the one in which during sex we only focus on the vagina, penis or breasts. There are many other erogenous zones as effective as the classics. Another mistake is to bite before asking. Believe it or not, everyone does not tolerate pain in the same way, and indeed, some consider it an act of violence so that before taking such steps, you should better ask. Moreover, there is no better way to make the other person feel as a sexual object when not make her/him notice when you reach the orgasm. At least one “I’m coming” or something like that would be a lovely detail, especially in the case of a man penetrating the couple orally.

Of course there are many more details that may give us a very bad reputation, but the best advice would be to use your head and not doing to the couple what you would not like to be done. In any case, if this relationship bears fruit, the first problems are solved at the passage of time and practice.

But if this is a one night chance encounter, you must include the five senses. At the end of the day, you want to leave a good image. This meeting can take place on a trip around the world. For example, if you rent one of the apartments in Marrakech and get into their culture, you may get some encounters that will leave you speechless.

It could not be otherwise. The Muslim world is teaching us a great lesson to be learned once and for all. The power is for the people and those who play illegitimate manipulation from chairs have their days numbered. Finally we note how they want us to swallow the tired and teetering system. If we say no, it must be no, and no matter if they take the full force of their guns. Today they will kill thirty people, but after them there are three thousand and thirty to exhaust their bullets. At last you can see them with frightened face meeting in emergency, looking for some way to hold on to power. Whatever they do, it’s all determined. They go where they came from and there is no negotiation on this issue.

Leaders of the rest of the world keep dictatorships while there are interests and this takes its toll. They destabilized regions by selling weapons and dark businesses when they need chaos. Notice this: the excuse of state secret is no longer valid. More than secret, loud voices are heard about their intentions through platforms like WikiLeaks, those that are continuing to make life impossible. We choose in dubious democratic elections and we decide what, when and how things are done.

Then the time came when it is already clear they represent the interests of large corporations, banks and companies that fraudulently rob us with impunity. You only need to review the measures taken in the current and tiresome economic crisis. Now they have lost their credibility. They, who play the dirty politics of the false democracy, carefully concentrating power in few hands, they are now coming to an end. They might be able to censor information, lock up popular leaders in prisons and make more noise so that their voices are not heard. Fortunately, others come back to touch what they already know. Relentlessly, without mercy. There is no turning back.

We, the people of the north, seem supremely stupid. Smugly erudite and civilized as we think we are, we are easily deceived by the verbiage of the technocrat economy. They have managed to keep us aware of anything. They talk us about economic policy, never social. About figures which our limited consciousness will never be able to manage. They stun us with absurd football shows. They mesmerize us with unique neo-liberal propaganda. Giddy with exhaustion, we go to bed for tomorrow to go to our jobs –those who have one- and they repeat in the coffee hour, literally, the argument that we were taught on TV, newspaper or radio. It is the same in different formats. Let’s stop believing in the plurality of media, because most are the voices of those companies which crave the power. And, please, that the riots in Tunisia and Egypt represent, finally, the principle of an essential change.

Someone once said “keep your imagination alive, because you never know when you’re going to need it.”

The imagination is a break from reality, and it’s important that we always have it within our reach, and get the most out of it.

Imagination signifies play, creativity, and the discovery of new worlds – going one step beyond. The possibilities are endless – and one of them is that a bit of extra imagination can help improve our sex life. Whoever says there’s nothing new anymore refuses to dream, choosing instead to settle for dull routine.

The imagination can be a very powerful tool if you know how and when to use it.

There’s no need to start jumping through hoops in order for each sexual encounter to be different, and better than the one before – don’t drive yourself mad trying to “spice” up your routine. The imagination should just be used whenever the mood takes you – whenever you want to experience something a bit different, and leave the day-to-day every once in a while.

The imagination can help in all sorts of ways – from making us less sexually inhibited, to making us believe anything we want to – it just depends on the individual.

We are able to invent new personas, roles, and situations that wouldn’t be possible without our imaginations.. Being somebody else in a role play for example, can make sex more of a game, allowing you to experiment with different sexual patterns.

Not to mention the surprise element, which means you and your partner break away from old customs, enjoying one another more.

When we use our imaginations we are helping ourselves reach our potential – why not also develop our sexual fantasies aswell.

You can get a bit of extra help by visiting a sex shop, which might give you some ideas – but always remember, you can’t buy imagination, it is something that needs practice.

About me: I am separated and with three kids, one after the other. Despite the experience given by my forty-two years old, it is amazing how treeless I am in this life. But if I have more sexual appetite now than when I dressed and combed my hair like Alaska, around the tacky eighties. I normally satiate this thirst sprawled in front of any stupid program on Friday night and devouring the delicious anise rolls from the bakery below. By the way, the baker is so good-looking!, but what a dirty trick they have played on me – his ferocious wife and himself – by opening the wrong business so close to my insatiable anxiety.

“Two dozens of rolls, Marquitos”. As soon as I pronounce some words, this feline beast he has for wife appears from the back room. “I am serving her, Marco Antonio. Get the croissants out of the oven, they must be already baked”, she orders without taking her eyes off me. Her attitude is comprehensible, as she knows the most desirable thing in her facility is that always-sprinkled-with-flour cherub she has as a husband. Not, I do not eat all the rolls. One of the dozens is for my maniac children.  I quietly eat the other one after misleading myself with the conviction that tomorrow I will continue with Jane Fonda’s videos. But today is my day. Nobody will interpose.

Feeling then sorry, lately I’ve been dealt with the same reflection: What the hell is happening? Everything is turned. Males around me act like egocentric trophy men. Always on the lookout. They passively wait like fashion magazine stars for us to take them out to dance. We must go boldly towards them like one of those spaghetti westerns. Bowlegged gait, hand on holster and Wild West melody whistled background. “Hey honey, shall we dance?”. Then he stutters of insecurity and, in the best of cases, the thing ends in sex.

Whenever you feel the same, it’s because it’s the same. After calling him a few days later, I do not get response or just stupid excuses that nobody mentally healthy could believe. Rarely, some communicate with sincerity and, when doing so, he speaks for all: he is not ready for a relationship, he is very wary of his privacy, he needs to resolve a thousand issues before launching making up his mind, and so on. And I wonder, who has told these narcissists I expect a relationship with them?

Once and for all, my lovers notice this: I am just looking for accomplices. Come on, you simple wartime allies. I have also problems and for god’s sake, I don’t want you tucked into my house at all. But, let’s smooch from time to time, because Jane Fonda made many videos, but I run out of repertoire soon.

It’s over. I’m leaving. I leave the children with their father and rent one of the apartments in Marrakech Maybe someone there will help me lose.

Those who tend to express negative feelings or those who constantly express a trait such as anger or irritability, may suffer from neuroticism. These people, intrinsically, have less satisfying sex so, if at the same time there is a marriage, it is more likely to end in divorce. But this whole story is like a dog chasing its tail. One may enter this trait in a marriage but it may also be the marriage itself which emphasizes this neuroticism. What was first created?

Many studies have determined that a satisfactory sexual relationship improves the mood of the couple, but whether these successful relationships would completely annul the effects of neuroticism have never been determined.  So far. One study examined the behavior of 72 newly married couples where the period that varied from having sex once a week up to three times a month. All of them said they were happy in their marriage so that might be associated with marital satisfaction with sexual frequency.

However, an exception appeared. Couples which in the first test showed high levels of neuroticism did to improve spousal relationship thanks to sex. Basically what was found was that if you have a neurotic person next to you, there is nothing better than sex to keep his or her levels under control.

The British newspaper the Daily Mail recently announced flexisexual concept is rising in reference to a growing number of straight girls who are hesitant to bisexuality.

However, this “disposition” is nothing new and, therefore, little biased. Above all, however, it presents a definitional problem. On the one hand, we have the flexisexual people, on the other hand, the bisexual ones. Which, to be specific, is the difference between them?

A flexisexual person, as journalists want us to think (as opposed to sociologists and psychologists), is a person with a strong sexual identity, in this case heterosexual, but that sometimes – sometimes induced by alcohol – flirts with same-sex people, and even, to speak the words of pop star Katy Perry, kissed (in this case) a girl, and liked it.

At the moment, there is nothing a bisexual person would not do anyway. But unlike the bisexual, the flexisexual, is – generally – heterosexual, apart from occasional “slips” where you can finish wrapping with a person of the same sex. In fact, a very confusing term. You could also say that a flexisexual is simply a heterosexual sexually liberated. For example, this type of person who is not opposed to a threesome with someone of the same sex. Or it is a bisexual who just does not want to be labeled “bisexual”? Although this does not make much sense, as if one does not want to be labeled, why then getting another one, as flexisexual?, which seems to be the result of a man’s erotic dream who imagines girls with vaguely lesbian tendencies, but without stopping being heterosexual, or perhaps also an avid trendhunter in search of a new way of marketing.

Positive thinking has been established as a role model in our society, as the magic formula to get everything we want and complete our goals. However, few know that there is a close link between positive thinking and our health. And the impact it has on our bodies is so strong that it can even extend our life.

At least, these are the impressive results of some studies made on positivism and our health. At Carnegie Mellon University, for example, one study analyzed the development of influenza from 193 volunteers between 18 and 55 and how their positive or negative trends affected it. The result was clear and concise: those who maintained a positive stance, produced less mucus than their negative.

But this is just the beginning, as a long investigation, carried out at the Mayo Clinic found out that optimists experienced a 50% lower risk of early death than pessimists. The conclusion was that the body and mind are intrinsically connected.

And the physical difference between a pessimist and an optimist is the different levels of inflammation caused by stress and it’s linked to most known diseases, especially heart problems. Consequently we could state that a negative attitude towards life, causes stress and hence inflammation, which in turn makes us age faster and makes us sick. While optimists go through life more quietly, less stressed and with less potentially harmful side effects caused by inflammation. So simple, but so catergorical.

So the best thing you can do is to take a short break, relax and enjoy life, this will help you have a longer and healthier life.

Languages are alive. What today is widely used tomorrow will be used by minorities. What is used by minorities can become a linguistic habit. The rules issued by regulators strata are late and wrong. They seem not to read, hear, speak or write. Sitting in their chairs, they fall asleep thinking about language, as speakers create new habits and discard other at the speed of light. To learn the language it is not enough to read and write, listening and talking are also necessary. By interacting with their circle of scholars, they will never learn new concepts. Institutions composed of old crocks that though prestigious, are enclosed in the bubble of their boring idiosyncrasies.

Now, a sms for people from RAE which I am not pretty sure they will understand: “w all knw ur nrms jst make snse n ur phlegmatic meetins. Thn let us talk nd write as w want, pls”

What’s most important is communication itself. If the speaker manages to make him understood in a clear and direct way, what does it matter if the accent is on the o or on the q? Thanks to mobile phones, economy of the written language is positioning so fast that I would not be surprised if, in about a hundred years, the RAE accepts words as they are written in text messages.

They regularly have to justify their idleness in the chairs of the RAE. So they invent a new rule as a product of their mental diarrhoea. Then they make us learn them to make us more confused than we already were. If the written language itself is open to ambiguity of double and triple reading, it will be even more if from time to time they release a landmark in the form of spelling rule.

Many theories have been developed regarding libido in men, or more exactly, the lack of it. Many attribute the lack of sexual desire to problems related to the relationship or marriage, other to hormonal alterations. But everybody agrees in the fact that along a monogamous relationship, sexual desire diminishes in a predominant way.

The reason for this goes beyond trouble in the relationship or lack of communication between the couple. And the thing is that human beings are evolutionarily made to have more than one sexual relationship simultaneously. Especially men were designed by mother nature in a way so that sexual novelty is always more attractive and that losing interest in their current partner is normal when this novelty factor diminishes. This so-called “Coolidge” effect has been researched and proved in social mammals and it is not a novelty in reproductive biology field.

But then, how can we deal with the lack of passion in a relationship? The most important thing is to be conscious that sex is not equivalent to intimacy. A wild night, as can be brilliantly seen in the one night stands, does not have, in most cases, any sentimental transcendence. On the other hand, although a relationship is not only based on sex, it really is an important part of it and also of intimacy. Because of this, it may be reductionist and moreover fatalist arguing it only from an evolutionist point of view. However, thanks to science we know that sexual novelty is an important component for libido in men. So, what is more important is not letting sex fall into the routine, but the couple exploring together new sensual worlds.
