Esta canción me pone contento. Casi que me hace feliz.
We’re just one of God’s little jokes

God Save the Queen
Debo confesar que soy un anglófilo total. Ya sé que son imperialistas, piratas y nos robaron las Malvinas, pero bueno, imaginemos por un segundo cómo sería la cosa si el poder lo tuviéramos nosotros. Últimamente creo que los malos no son malos por naturaleza, sino porque tienen la posibilidad de serlo.
Pero los ingleses son lo más: Shakespeare en literatura, los Beatles en la música, ¡hasta inventaron el fútbol! No sé, para mí no hay con qué darles.
Y en homenaje a esa bonita isla ubicada bien al norte, que también nos dio a los Monty Python, a Hitchcock y a Chaplin, dejo acá este clásico videoclip de los ’90.
Sutileza pythoniana
(En una farmacia)
Cliente: -Good morning. I’d like some aftershave, please.
Farmacéutico: -Ah, certainly. Walk this way, please.
Cliente: -If I could walk that way I wouldn’t need an aftershave.
Genialidad pythoniana

More on Monty Python
Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

El sentido de la vida
Hasta la fecha, nunca me pasó de estar tan bajoneado que escuchar The meaning of life no me levantara el ánimo. El crédito se lo doy a los Monty Python y no a mi psicóloga.
Why are we here? What’s life all about?
Is God really real, or is there some doubt?
Well, tonight, we’re going to sort it all out,
For, tonight, it’s ‘The Meaning of Life’.
What’s the point of all this hoax?
Is it the chicken and the egg time? Are we just yolks?
Or, perhaps, we’re just one of God’s little jokes.
Well, ça c’est ‘The Meaning of Life’.
Is life just a game where we make up the rules
While we’re searching for something to say,
Or are we just simply spiralling coils
Of self-replicating DNA.
What is life? What is our fate?
Is there a Heaven and Hell? Do we reincarnate?
Is mankind evolving, or is it too late?
Well, tonight, here’s ‘The Meaning of Life’.
For millions, this life is a sad vale of tears,
Sitting ’round with rien nothing to say
While the scientists say we’re just simply spiralling coils
Of self-replicating DNA.
So, just why are we here,
And just what do we fear?
Well, ce soir, for a change, it will all be made clear,
For this is ‘The Meaning of Life’.

Consejo mañanero
Life’s a piece of shit, when you look at it.
Life’s a laugh and death’s a joke, it’s true.
You’ll see it’s all a show,
keep’em laughing as you go,
just remember that the last laugh is on you.
And always look on the bright side of life.
“Look on the Bright Side of Life (All Things Dull and Ugly)” (Monty Python, Life of Brian, 1979)
