Introduction

Considering that in all legal systems the procedure to recover a debt exists, one of the essential performances of law is to protect the rights of a creditor while claiming what is entitled to.

Maritime claims are not different from other claims. However maritime claims are related to the shipping industry, which by its nature are international.

Considering the mobility of ships, the difficulty that arises is how a maritime creditor may enforce his/her claims. Most systems of laws have procedures relating to arrest of ships as a precautionary measure to obtain an accurate procedural remedy of stopping a vessel in a foreign jurisdiction, and to enforce against such vessel an eventually successful judgment.

The arrest of ships is thus a legal procedural remedy that prohibits anyone from moving the vessel in order for her to serve as security for a claim.

Therefore, arrest is a procedure that needs harmonization among different States. Due to the speed of the maritime business sometimes the claimant has to act in a much reduced lapse because ships only anchor just for a couple of days or even hours in different States.

A claimant might have to deal with the exercise of the proper legal action. In a common law country arrest of a vessel can be affected only if the claim is of a maritime nature. On the other hand, in a civil law country the arrest of a vessel can be performed even if the claim is not form a maritime nature. The only requirement that a claimant needs is exercising an action in personam against all the defendant´s assets.

Therefore, because of the speed of maritime business, the need for a claimant to act in a rapid way due to the mobility of ships, which in present day stay only few hours in a port, and not to interfere with trade and the engagements of a defendant ship owner the arrest procedure needs to be harmonized among different States.

All of these matters were intended to be solved by the International Convention for the Unification of certain Rules Relating to the Arrest of Sea-Going Vessels, 1952 (from now on 1952 Arrest Convention). As it is also known, the consolidation of this convention needed the best endeavors of all signatory parties.

This convention as it will be described in this paper tried to harmonize the differences among legal systems. It tried to give answers in respect of which were the claims that allowed the arrest of a vessel, the authorization of arrest of more than one vessel, the consequence of a wrongful arrest; in short to balance the different approaches of this procedure.

The 1952 Arrest Convention has been extremely successful over the last 50 years and it has been a very useful instrument. However the international community realized that it had to be updated.

The adoption of the 1999 International Convention on Arrest of Ships was not an easy task, and more countries were involved in this process. It raised issues such as the personal liability of the ship owner and arrest of a sistership, the release of a security, the issue of jurisdiction, etc.

This paper will try to explain some of these changes. It is important to mention that after 12 years that this instrument had been waiting to enter into force, this will be achieved on September 14, 2011, with Albania’s ratification.

This paper will analyze as well the current situation in Mexico and, taking into consideration its role in the maritime arena, the need for Mexico to harmonize its legislation with the existing international rules.

CHAPTER II.

Historical background

The topic of arrest was discussed since 1930 and several sub-committees studied the different issues. There were also held conferences during 1932, 1937, and after the Second World War three more in 1947, 1949 and 1951. Then during the Brussels Conference in 1952, States reached the first Convention on Arrest of Ships.

The 1952 Convention took in consideration the opinion of different law associations. The most participative were the German, French and Italian. The result of the first meetings were the discussions about the list of maritime claims, especially whether it should be a closed one or not, the issue of a wrongful arrest and the opportunity to arrest a sistership.

Having in mind that the civil law and common law countries approached differently the arrest of ships, the three law Associations were focused on solving issues on what basis, which were clearly related for which claims, arrest would be allowed.

The uniformity issue arose from the German Association in the light of the fact that the maritime liens which granted a security right were different among States. The first draft attempted to provide uniformity among other States; however the rule of wrongful arrest and issues of liability in such event were strongly opposed by the British Association.[1]

As a result of this last conference a Sub-committee was established. The issue of wrongful arrest was still “making noise” to different States. However the principal issue that started to create differences was the opposite idea of the civil law countries which would effect an arrest as a security for any claim whether or not of a maritime nature; on the other hand in the common law countries, especially the United Kingdom this last argument was out of question, considering that in these jurisdictions an arrest in these conditions could only be performed by an action in rem and thus for a claim of maritime nature.

Following meetings of the Sub-committee both group of States (civil law and common law countries) agreed that to start a real harmonization process an accurate procedure must be formulated but in relation to claims secured by a maritime lien exclusively.[2]

Negotiations were suspended due to the Second World War, however in 1947 the CMI forwarded a new questionnaire to different States to continue the work done in 1937 in Paris. Consequently, the British and Dutch Maritime Law Associations thought that efforts should be made to reach wider uniformity on the subject of arrest of ships[3].

The Convention supports this approach and indeed provides that claims which would allow an arrest are only of maritime nature. However recognizing the precautionary purpose of the Convention, it allows the detention of a Ship under the authority of a court pending a find judgment. Or course it does not regulate the seizure of a ship in execution of a given judgment.[4]

Another issue that was considered in this Conference was the one of the discussion on the merits of the claim. Common law countries representatives suggested that by virtue of arrest the jurisdiction on the merits was given to the court where the arrest had been performed. This proposal was not even considered by the French delegation, arguing the unjustifiable and lack of equity of this procedure. Perhaps this argument was made because under the French law the critical point was only to seize temporary the vessel not permanently, and the security to be exercised while the merits of the claim had to be decided in the place of the jurisdiction of the origin of the debt.

The United Kingdom drew always the attention of the parties to be cautious with the language of the Convention. It was their concern that although arrest would be allowed for a wide list of maritime claims (curiously enough of a reproduction of the list of claims for which the Admiralty Court had jurisdiction) that does necessary converts these claims in maritime liens if not recognized by the ley fori. The Convention supports this approach in its article 3 (1) and 9.

The purpose of the Convention is to strike a compromise between the common law and civil law systems in respect the law of ship arrest[5], and provides uniform rules in relation to arrest in a Contracting State.

Finally in 1952 the birth of the first Arrest Convention saw the light and it was ratified by 13 votes and 6 abstentions.

For several years the 1952 Arrest Convention has been served successfully its purpose. Times change and with issues such as the increased need to protect the environment and one ship companies appearing, the security remedy was no longer as effective as it should.

During the 1980’s the Comité Maritime International thought that it was important to update the Maritime Lien and Mortgages and Arrest Conventions. Professor Tony Kegels describes that the diverging interests had changed since 1952; shipowners, carriers, their banks, and P&I Clubs were not the only parties at stake. There were thus three players on the market and in order to achieve uniformity the agreement of each of them should have been looked for and there was a feeling that this was not done, or not achieved at least.[6]

The arrest Convention of 1999 is drafted in a much more precise way. The main change is that the concept of personal liability of the shipowner whose vessel is arrested is clearly stipulated; the list of maritime liens is expanded and it includes even those claims which although considered in 1952 were at that time left out, the situation where an arrest is possible, even if the shipowner is not personally liable is expressly stated. This example will be the advantage of the States that participated.

The text of the CMI was submitted to a Joined Committee the International Maritime Association and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) the so called JIGE, formed by various experts of the two international Institutions.

The draft text was approved in 1997 in a Diplomatic Conference in Geneva and it was crystallized in the final text of 1999 of the Arrest of Ships Conference. It is worth to know that this instrument is going to be in force form the 14 of September of 2011, after the ratification of ten countries, being Albania the last that adopted it.

CHAPTER III.

The International Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules relating to the Arrest of Sea-Going Vessels, 1952.

The Arrest Convention of 1952 appeared into the scene of the international law to harmonize the rules of the arrest of ships procedures in different legal systems law. As noted, the civil law countries adopted a wider approach where a claimant is entitled to arrest any property (maritime and non maritime nature) of a debtor or defendant including a vessel which was found within the jurisdiction of the court ordering the arrest in a foreign jurisdiction. On the other hand common law countries establish a close list according to the principle followed by the action in rem in respect of a maritime claim.[7]

Before the 1952 Arrest Convention was adopted, in a civil law country a vessel could be arrested for any claim of the creditor, even when it was not related to a claim of a maritime nature, but in common law countries, […] a vessel could only be arrested in the limited cases where claimants are entitled to enforce their claim in a proceeding in rem.[8]

Article 1 (1) of the Convention defines what is a maritime claim in respect of which arrest is allowed. It is not a true definition. This article simply gives a list of the different claims that would entitle a claimant to arrest a vessel. The list which is a replica of the United Kingdom Supreme Court of Judicature Consolidation of 1925[9] has been through the years criticized for not catering for circumstances which would clearly lead to a claim of a maritime nature.

The list of maritime claims according to Article 1 (1) is described as follows:

In this Convention the following words shall have the meanings hereby assigned to them:

(1) "Maritime Claim" means a claim arising out of one or more of the following:

(a) damage caused by any ship either in collision or otherwise;

(b) loss of life or personal injury caused by any ship or occurring in connexion with the operation of any ship;

(d) agreement relating to the use or hire of any ship whether by charterparty or otherwise;

(e) agreement relating to the carriage of goods in any ship whether by charterparty or otherwise;

(f) loss of or damage to goods including baggage carried in any ship;

(g) general average;

(h) bottomry;

(i) towage;

(J) pilotage;

(k) goods or materials wherever supplied to a ship for her operation or maintenance;

(1) construction, repair or equipment of any ship or dock charges and dues;

(m) wages of Masters, Officers, or crew;

(n) Master's disbursements, including disbursements made by shippers, charterers or agent on behalf of a ship or her owner;

(o ) disputes as to the title to or ownership of any ship;

(p) disputes between co-owners of any ship as to the ownership, possession, employment, or earnings of that ship;

(q) the mortgage or hypothecation of any ship.

Authors have correctly pointed out that it is obvious that the list has not included other claims which would clearly be of a maritime nature, like claims arising out of ship sale and purchase, claims of ship brokers or agents etc. Curiously enough not even all the claims secured by a lien as provided in the 1926 Convention on Maritime Liens and Mortgages feature in this list. Furthermore, the language used, especially in the English version has created difficulties and has been several times subject to the interpretation of the courts.

However the contracting States provided for a close list and in this respect is important to note that only in respect of those claims listed a vessel may be arrested.

The concept of arrest is defined in article 1(2) of the 1952 Convention as:

…the detention of a ship by judicial process to secure a maritime claim, but does not include the seizure of a ship in execution or satisfaction of a judgment.

This means that the substantial difference between arrest covered by the convention and seizure excluded from its scope is that the former is a security measure which is requested before the claim is heard on the merits by a court.[10]

In this article it is clearly described that there are two different types of claims, the claim that arises from the merits where clearly in case of a successful judgment, the vessel will be subject to a judicial sale. The second option that the article describes is to stop the vessel and be treated as a security remedy to compel a defendant to perform a payment that has not been made; thus to have assets available to recover such payment when a successful judgment will be obtained.

Article 2 confirms the principle by providing that a ship flying the flag of one of the Contracting States may be arrested in the jurisdiction of any of the Contracting States in respect of any maritime claim, but in respect of no other claim. In this respect, the Convention describes that a vessel flying a flag of a contracting State will only be detained if the claim falls under the claims provided in article 1(1). This provision made aware the civil law countries not to arrest a vessel as a security remedy for any claim, just claims of a maritime nature.

It can be seen that when this article is read together with article 8 (2) of the Convention[11] a vessel flying the flag of a contracting state would be arrested in that contracting State, not only for a claim listed in article 1 (1) but also for any other claim in relation to which the law of that State would allow the arrest. That means that in civil jurisdictions, where arrest is a “conservative measure which may be executed against any asset of a debtor as security for any claim, ships flying the flag of a non-contracting state may, subject to the conditions set forth by the ley fori, be arrested in respect of any claim against the owner.[12] Thus article 8(2) excludes the application of article 2 to vessels flying a flag of a non contracting State. Berlingeri suggests that this is the correct interpretation of Article 8 (2), i.e. all the provisions of the Convention save for article 2 will apply to a vessel flying the flag of a non contracting State.[13]

For the sake of completeness article 8 (1) states that: The provisions of this Convention shall apply to any vessel flying the flag of a Contracting State in the jurisdiction of any Contracting State.

The Court of Appeal of Genoa, stated that in respect of article 8 (2) of the Convention:

A ship flying the flag of a non-Contracting State may be arrested also in respect of a claim other than a maritime claim if a prima facie evidence (fumus boni iuris) of the claim is provided and proof is given of the danger that assets of the debtor may in the future be unavailable for the enforcement of a judgment (periculum in mora).[14]

Finally, in paragraph 4 of article 8 of the Convention provides, that arrest of a vessel would not apply in a contracting state when the vessel is flying a flag of the state in which the arrest is applied for and the claimant has his habitual residence or place of business in that contracting state. In such circumstances ley fori will apply.

The principle is confirmed by the Italian Court in Spezia which states:

The 1952 Arrest Convention is not applicable, pursuant to its article 8(4), in case the person applying for the arrest has its principal place of business in the country where the arrest is applied for and the ship flies the flag of that country.[15]

It is to be understood that the Convention will not regulate arrest procedures in a non contracting State. Indeed after analyzing the last provision, the custom doubt is in case the arrest is made in a non contracting State. Unfortunately the Arrest Convention of 1952 will not describe any provisions in this matter, consequently the procedural law applicable in this cases is the ley fori.

Article 3 (1) deals with the issue of which ship should be arrested. It states that:

[…]a claimant may arrest either the particular ship in respect of which the maritime claim arose, or any other ship which is owned by the person who was, at the time when the maritime claim arose, the owner of the particular ship […].

Although not clearly stipulated in this part it is necessary the existence of a relationship between the person liable and the particular ship subject to arrest. This issue was considered by Lord Diplock in The Eschersheim:[16]

…it is clear that to be liable to arrest a ship must not only be the property of the defendant to the action but must also be identifiable as the ship in connection with which the claim made in the action arose…

The existence of the relationship between the person liable and the particular ship has significance; if such a ship is to change ownership before an arrest is made, in such circumstances a claimant may not enforce his claim against that ship which at the time of arrest will not be owned by the person liable. It has to be notice that in this particular issue, Professor Berlingeri describes that during the travaux preparatoires te British delegation pointed out the following:

Supposing Ship A was subject to a maritime claim through collision and was then sold, as that sub clause at present reads the unfortunate buyer of that ship might have another ship in his ownership arrested. That of course, is not what we wanted to achieve, We must accept the fact that if the ship which is concerned with the casualty or occurrence is sold, the maritime lien passes with her and remains upon her in whose ever hand she may before two year; but it would be very hard luck on the buyer of a vessel which was susceptible to a maritime claim, if by resale, he rendered all the rest of his fleet liable to arrest.[17]

However, a claimant may arrest a sister ship as provided for in article 3 (1); A sister ship maybe arrested only subject to the conditions laid down in article 3 (2) which states that: “ships shall be deemed to be in the same ownership when all the shares therein are owned by the same person or persons”. The relevant time to define the ownership of a sistership is the time to arrest. What matters is that at the time of arrest the person liable owns all the shares of the sister ship although he / she did not owned all the share of the ship in respect of which the maritime claims arose.

Professor Berlingieri gives an example under which a ship shall be deemed to be in the same ownership, and I quote:

If ship A, in respect of which the claim arose, is owned for 20 sharesby Mr. W, for 20 shares by Mr. X and for 20 shares by Mr. Y, and ship B is owned by 20 shares by Mr. W, for 30 shares by Mr X and for 10 shares by Mr Z, ship B may not be arrested. But ship B may be arrested if 50 out of the 60 shares therein are owed by Mr W and 10 by Mr X.

A sistership arrest is not allowed if the claim is one of those listed under article 1 (1) (o), (p) and (q)[18]; however it is important to note Article 10 and to take in consideration the reservations made by a contracting state.[19]

However, the particularities about property and possession are the quid of this provision. Sometimes the owner is a demise charterer or even a voyage or a time charterer, and in these circumstances the property interest is shifted and as in any maritime affairs the difficulty arises as to who is the liable party.

Article 3 (4) describes that in the case of a charter by demise of a ship when the charterer and not the registered owner is liable in respect of the maritime claim, the claimant may arrest the ship or any other ship in the ownership of the charterer by demise. In The "Sargasso" case in France, the Court of Montpellier held that:

…(1) Pursuant to article 3(4) of the 1952 Arrest Convention a bareboat chartered vessel may be arrested as security for a claim against the bareboat charterer.[20]

Additionally, the last part of article 3 (4) provides that the provisions of this paragraph shall apply to any case in which a person other than the registered owner of a ship is liable in respect of a maritime claim relating to that ship. In the case of a voyage or time charterer, the voyage charter can be liable for a loss or damage under a contract of carriage as the time charters can also be liable for contracts of carriage, repairs or bunker. Berlingieri describes that a uniform interpretation of Art. 3 (4) will be reached when speaking about the same rights of a demise charter.[21]

Article 4 of the 1952 Arrest Convention states that: a ship may only be arrested under the authority of a Court or of the appropriate judicial authority of the contracting State in which the arrest is made. This provision means that if a ship is arrested it has to be under the powers of a court. Arrest can only be ordered by the court that has jurisdiction. No self defense is allowed and the claimant has to follow the rules and principles of justice.

Article 9 says that nothing in this Convention shall be construed as creating a right of action, which, apart from the provisions of this Convention, would not arise under the law applied by the Court which was seized of the case, nor as creating any maritime liens which do not exist under such law or under the Convention on maritime mortgages and liens, if the latter is applicable. In this case the Court that will decide if the arrest can be exercised by the claimant has also to take in consideration if it arises from a maritime lien according to the 1926 Liens and Mortgage Convention or if the latter is applicable in the ley fori.

Article 9 is a very important provision considering that the maritime claims are not secured by the same maritime liens in different jurisdictions. As the British delegation pointed out, only few of these claims listed in article 1(1) are secured under English law by a maritime lien; therefore it was important to note that if the ley fori does not grant a maritime lien that can certainly not arise out of the Convention. It is for this reason as well that article 3 (1) is subject to article 9.[22] Thus excluding the droit de suite characteristic of a lien from the maritime claims as noted above a change in ownership before the arrest effected would make the arrest invalid.

Article 5 of the Convention provides that the Court or other appropriate judicial authority within whose jurisdiction the ship has been arrested shall permit the release of the ship upon sufficient bail or other security being furnished, save in cases in which a ship has been arrested in respect of any of the maritime claims enumerated in article 1, (o) and (p).

For the procedure of the release of the vessel article 5 provides that the Court shall permit the release of the vessel if sufficient security has been provided. This provision is closely related to article 3 (3) which also provides when a vessel shall be released […] if a ship has been arrested in any of such jurisdictions, or bail or other security has been given in such jurisdiction either to release the ship or to avoid a threatened arrest, any subsequent arrest of the ship or of any ship in the same ownership by the same claimant for the maritime claim shall be set aside.

The money of the bail paid to the court usually is an obligation that undertakes the P&I Club which the shipower uses. In fact this is not the only fund that nowadays is being used (explanation will be given in the chapter of the 1999 Arrest Convention).

Another fundamental issue that civil law and common law countries discussed during the travaux preparatoires and which brought tension are the provisions described in article 6 discussing the liability of a wrongful arrest. The Convention’s approach is to leave this to the discretion of the domestic law of the contracting State.

Unfortunately the provision does not solve the differences and still supports the practice of forum shopping.

Concluding, the provisions of Article 6 in the light of the differences for compensation in cases of a wrongful arrest between civil law and law countries could not conciliate the issue and consequently, and thus the assessment of damages in this matter will again be governed by the domestic law of each Contracting State.

Under the 1952 Arrest Convention and due to the intentions to fulfill the postures of all the States involved, as it has been discussed that the judicial process of the arrest of a ship has to be considered as a provisional measure without taking in consideration the merits of the claim.

Article 7, in the attempt to bridge the gap between the different methods of establishing jurisdiction of the two major systems, provides that; the Courts of the country in which the arrest was made shall have jurisdiction to determine the case upon its merits if the domestic law of the country in which the arrest is made gives jurisdiction to such Courts, or in any of the following cases namely.

Article 7(1) (a) if the claimant has his habitual residence or principal place of business in the country in which the arrest was made; (b) if the claim arose in the country in which the arrest was made; (c) if the claim concerns the voyage of the ship during which the arrest was made; (d) if the claim arose out of a collision or in circumstances covered by article 13 of the International Convention for the unification of certain rules of law with respect to collisions between vessels, signed at Brussels on 23rd September 1910; (e) if the claim is for salvage; (f) if the claim is upon a mortgage or hypothecation of the ship arrested.

Article 7 (2) provides that […] if the Court within whose jurisdiction the ship was arrested has no jurisdiction to decide upon the merits, the bail or other security given in accordance with article 5 to procure the release of the ship shall specifically provide that it is given as security for the satisfaction of any judgment which may eventually be pronounced by a Court having jurisdiction so to decide…

It is not clear from the wording of this rule whether the judgment of a court having jurisdiction on the merits entitles the claimant to payment without any need for its recognition and enforcement in the jurisdiction of the court where the bail or other security is provided, or whether such recognition and enforcement are required.[23] Following the practice of States most probably there will be a need for a decision of a national court to recognize and enforce a judgment obtained in a different jurisdiction.

According to Berlingieri Section 26 had its origin in Article 7 (2) of the Arrest Convention of 1952, which deals with the situation which arises when the court, within whose jurisdiction a ship has bee arrested, has no jurisdiction to determine the case upon the merits. Section 26 was intended to make provision and does make provision for the case in which, after a plaintiff has issued a writ in rem and arrest the ship, the owners or other persons interested in that ship successfully apply for a stay of proceedings on the ground (a) that the parties had a greed to submit the dispute to arbitration, or (b)that the dispute should be to the determination of the courts of another country.

In terms of article 7 (3)[24] the jurisdiction of the courts of the State where the ship is arrested is not exclusive and therefore, the claimant is free to choose by virtue of agreement a different court which will may have jurisdiction in the case.[25]

Examples like this in terms of relationship of the court that can decide on the merits pursuant to arrest is the Admiralty court by itself and in terms of the action in rem is entitled to decide both issues of the arrest and the “original claim”. In terms of a civil law country the Procedural Civil Code will give the jurisdiction to the court to give a judgment on the merits or to redirect it to the court of the law of the contract which was breached; while under its authority the vessel can still arrested or released upon sufficient bail or security is given.

It is important to note that if the claimant does not submit the claim on the merits to the competent court, the vessel of security shall be released.[26]

CHAPTER IV.

The 1999 Geneva Convention on Arrest of Ships

The purpose of a new Convention was to bring the practice of arrest of ships up to date and in accordance with the changes that had taken place in maritime operations since the adoption of the 1952 Arrest Convention.

The joint Governmental Group of Experts on Maritime Liens and Mortgages and Related Subjects (JIGE) was established by IMO and UNCTAD to review the maritime liens and mortgages conventions and related enforcement procedures. After drafting the final text of the International Convention on Maritime Liens and Mortgages of 1993 JIGE decided to examine the 1952 Arrest Convention due to the changes and developments of the MLMC of 1993.[27]

During the seventh session of the JIGE in Geneva in 1994 the first draft of the new Arrest Convention making special reference to articles 1 (Definitions), 3 (Exercise of the right of to arrest) and 5. (The Right of re arrest and multiple arrest).

In April of 1997 a new set of draft articles was prepared at the request of the JIGE, IMO and UNCTAD secretariats which constituted the basis of the Discussions at the Diplomatic Conference of UNCTAD in 1999.

The text of the Convention was adopted on March 12 of 1999 and it will come into force on September 14 of 2011 with the signatures of ten countries (Albania, Algeria, Benin, Bulgaria, Ecuador, Estonia, Latvia, Liberia, Spain and the Syrian Arab Republic).

Article 1 (1) of the 1999 Convention still does not give a precise definition of what is a maritime claim. The first conflict developed over whether or not the new Convention should include a closed and exhaustive list of maritime claims or an open-ended list.[28]

Although many options were considered, at the end article 1 (1) of the 1999 Convention provides for a closed list of maritime claims which would allow arrest. However the list was expanded to include additional claims.

The new claims were for: (d) damage or threat of damage to the environment; (e) costs and charges of wreck removal; (n) port, dock, harbour dues and charges; (q) insurance premiums (including mutual insurance calls) in respect of the ship; (r) any commissions, brokerages or agency fees in respect of the ship; plus some modifications for example in paragraph (m) the concept of reconstruction.

Each and every one of the last maritime claims were added in the draft because of the changes and the development of the shipping sector.

The introduction of paragraph d) in article 1(1) which deals with several concepts such as damage, threat of damage caused by the ship to the environment, measures taken to prevent, minimize, or remove such damage, compensation for such damage; costs of reasonable measures[29] of reinstatement of the environment was necessary considering the increased concerns about the environment. During the drafting of the Convention, several delegations tried to give an answer to all these matters caused by accidents around the world that happened during the lapse of 40 years.

The Shipping industry wanted some security for their vessels to make front to all the economic losses attached to an environmental accident [bear in mind the unrecoverable environmental damage that this kind of losses produces]. Actually the wording of this paragraph is taken form article 1 (7) Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage, 1969 (hereinafter referred to as the “1992. CLC Protocol”).

In respect of paragraph e) that deals with the costs of a wreck removal. The drafters wanted to make sure that although the wreck of a vessel was no longer considered as subject to a maritime lien according to the final text of the International Convention on Maritime Liens and Mortgages of 1993 (herein after MLMC 1993), this provision gives security to the cargo of a sunk vessel as well as the costs of the removal of the ship. Moreover wreck had to be qualified as a maritime claim even if the costs of such removal are paid out of the proceeds of sale before all other claims secured by a maritime lien on the vessel.[30]

Giving continuity to the issue of maritime liens with the list of maritime claims, paragraph n)[31] of Article 1(1) of the Arrest convention has to be read with article 4 the MLMC 1993 which in its (1) is recognizes that a claim arising from a port, canal, and other waterway dues and pilotage dues are secured by a maritime lien.

Paragraphs r) and q) have to be considered as claims listed in Article (1) that are very related. Both of them have to deal with insurance contracts and the link that makes them special is the wording in respect of the ship in paragraph (r). The interpretation of this wording is clearly referring to the operation of the ship.[32]

However, paragraph r) deals with the commissions, brokerages or agency fees payable in respect of the ship or on behalf of the ship owner or demise charterer. Therefore commissions and brokerages may be due in relation to insurance contracts.[33] This kind of payments are always covered by a P&I Club or any other type of insurance. On the other hand but in a very close way paragraph q) includes insurance premiums and mutual insurance calls. However, the premium must be related to the ship the arrest of which is requested[34]. Such relationship has to be in respect of the vessel (same as paragraph (r)); it does not need to be physical but the insurance has to cover the loss.

Finally the inclusion of paragraph q) as a maritime claim made more obvious that all kinds of protection and indemnity cover are included such as liabilities in respect of passengers, seamen, and third parties, damage to property, liability for pollution, liabilities in respect of wreck removal. Therefore the analyzed maritime claims are also an answer to the view and extent that the Convention gives in the light of the harmonization among contracting and non contracting States.

In the 1999 Convention the definition of arrest according to article 1(2)[35] is similar to the 1952 Convention and still includes both concepts of civil and common law countries; the saise conservaitore and action in rem, respectively. As with the 1952 Convention, this instrument will not apply to the seizure of the execution or satisfaction of a judgment or other enforceable instrument.

Moreover, it clearly establishes that the arrest is permissible in relation to a maritime claim which is not necessary secured by a maritime lien. The Convention provides in article 9 that no maritime liens can be created by virtue of the application of this Convention[36].

According to Professor Tetley the convention explains in article 8 (3)[37] that:

[…] the new arrest convention would recognize many, but seemingly not at all, special legislative rights[38], meaning that the Convention of 1999 will allow the governments to exercise the ley fori in respect of the statutory provisions concerning liens and mortgages.

Moreover, with this provision the avoidance of any inconsistency on the rights of each State to detain a vessel will distinguish an arrest arising from claim of article 1(1) and any detention from an administrative authority in terms of any domestic legislation.

The Convention provides in article 3 for the exercise of the right of arrest. Article 3 (1) establishes as a requirement for the arrest of the ship in respect of which a maritime claim arose the personal liability of her owner[39] The article has been drafted in much clearer language than in the 1952 Arrest Convention and puts aside any doubts whether or not there is a need for the personal liability of the owner.

Article 3 (1) b [considering that most of the national laws accept the liability of the demise charter] provides that the ship in respect of the maritime claim arose would be arrested even when the demise charter is the person liable.

The arrest of a vessel is also allowed in respect of which a maritime claim arose against an owner, demise charterer, manager or operator of the ship and is secured by a maritime lien that arises under the law of the state where the arrest is made.[40] In such circumstances and considering that all nations recognize the same characteristics of a maritime lien there is no need for the personal liability of the owner for the claim secured by a maritime lien to be enforced against the ship in respect of which the maritime claim arose. The lien attaches to the ship from the moment that gave birth to the claim and follows that ship in whosoever hands it may be found. Thus, a claimant will be able to enforce his / her claim even against a bona fide purchaser.

A close interpretation would follow even for the claims in relation to mortgage. The holder of the security, though he normally may enforce it by means of seizure and forced sale of the ship, needs sometimes to make recourse to a provisional measure such as the arrest in order to prevent the sailing of the ship and gain time for the subsequent seizure.[41]

In respect of the arrest of a sister ship, Article 3 (2) provides that:

Arrest is also permissible of any other ship or ships which, when the arrest is effected, is or are owned by the person who is liable for the maritime claim and who was, when the claim arose:

(a) owner of the ship in respect of which the maritime claim arose; or

(b) demise charterer, time charterer or voyage charterer of that ship. This provision does not apply to claims in respect of ownership or possession of a ship

Article 3 (2) as it is in the 1952 predecessor still requires that a sister ship to be arrested shall be in the same legal ownership as the particular ship. The language of the convention seems to restrict the right to look beyond the legal ownership and to arrest a ship which is beneficially owned by the personal liable.

In this respect to this article the author also quotes Professor Tetley who states that:

Article 3 (2) is useful, in authorizing the arrest of ships belonging to all categories of charterers for maritime claims on which they are liable in respect of the “offending ship”, as well as of sister ships belonging to the owner of the “offending ship” who is personally liable on such claims. The provision, like article 3 (1) on the arrest of the “offending ship” itself, also quite properly identifies the time of the arrest, rather than the time of the issue of the writ in rem or the time of the filing of the statement of the claim, as the relevant moment for determining when the right of the arrest arises.[42]

However, this provision establishes the restriction of arrest of a sister ship considering the “beneficial ownership” and the “registered ownership”, this comes regarding the maritime business and the dynamism know in this matter. Sometimes beneficiary and registered ownerships are not the same person and consequently liability falls over a different person.

The normal practice of shipping shows the existence of a “parent company” (beneficially owned) that owns many vessels but these are operated (charter parties and demise charter) by other holding companies (registered ownership) but still the difference of juridical persons is at glance.

As in the 1952 Convention re-arrest and multiple arrest is prohibited. However the 1999 Convention clarifies any doubts in respect to the circumstances under which a Court would make an exception to the rule.

The 1999 Convention provides in article 5 (1) that in respect to a vessel already arrested but which has been released, the court can order its re arrest for the same claim unless the nature or amount of the security in respect of that ship already is inadequate, on condition that the aggregate amount of security may not exceed the value of the vessel itself.[43]

Article 6 (1) of the Convention allows the court that made the arrest to impose on the claimant the obligation to provide counter security for losses that may be incurred by the defendant as a result of the arrest and for which the claimant may be found liable.

In article 6 (2) describes that in case of a wrongful or unjustified arrest or when the provided and demanded security is excessive, the Court of the State in which an arrest has been effected shall have jurisdiction to determine the extent of the liability, if any, of the claimant for loss or damage caused by the arrest of the ship. In addition, this article confirms the point of view of the civil law system in case the arrest effected is erroneous without proper legal motivation, but not motivated by bad faith or gross negligence[44].

In terms of the merits of the claim, the 1999 Convention makes a clear statement that the court where an arrest has been effected or security provided to obtain release has jurisdiction to determine the case on its merits, unless there is a valid jurisdiction or arbitration clause. It clearly sets out that when an arrest is made in a Contracting State, its Court shall redirect the merit of the case to an arbitral tribunal or another Court which accepts jurisdiction, if both parties agreed so prior the arrest procedure.

However, in accordance to article 7.2 the Courts of the State in which an arrest has been effected, or security provided to obtain the release of the ship, will refuse to assume its jurisdiction if this refusal allowed by the law of that State and a Court of another State
accepts jurisdiction. This article is written in the light of the total avoidance of a forum shopping. Professor Lynn states that:

[…]most of the work to improve the ability of proactive forum shopping is done by Article 7(1). Article 7(1) permits a ship to be arrested in the jurisdiction where it is currently lying, while at the same time allowing the case to proceed on the merits in the forum stipulated to by the parties. The language of Article 7(1) seems clear on this procedure.

Finally the scope of application of the 1999 Convention provided in article 8 reflects one of the most significant changes and it reads as follows:

“Article 8: this Convention shall apply to any ship[45] within the jurisdiction of any State Party, whether or not that ship is flying the flag of a State Party.”

In short this Convention will be applicable to a non contracting state vessel within the jurisdiction of a contracting State regarding the maritime claims of article 1(1) as a sole basis unless the reservation in article 10 (1) is applied by the State that performed the arrest.

CHAPTER V.

The Ship Arrest Procedure in Mexico

Mexico since the beginning of contemporary times has been considered as a very important State in the developing world in international affairs. At the same time Mexico is a contracting party in 70% of Maritime International Instruments adopted by the IMO.

Mexico is ranked second in Trade Agreement Treaties worldwide, with a total number of 43 countries in three continents which represent the basis for foreign trade and foreign investment.

The benefits are uncountable, considering that this amount of trade agreements means a potential benefit of more than a billion consumers and represents 66% of international import operations and 75% of the World Gross Income.

International Trade Agreements for Mexico are the key to progress and development which involves the exchange of goods using all kind of transportation, and in terms of shipping the sector is growing.

According to the Maritime Authority during the last report of February 2011 Mexico managed to 44 million tons of general cargo, divided in 22 million tons of crude oil and mineral 10 million tons of mineral bulk cargo.

The gross tonnage of Mexican fleet is mainly formed by oil tankers, chartered and they work mostly in domestic trade with just a few trading beyond Mexican Borders, mostly with the United States of America.

All these facts mentioned mean that the Mexican shipping industry is growing. In order to cope with such progress the development of the legal regime has to be in the same range and according to international standards.

For the purpose of this paper it is important to note that Mexico has not ratified any of the international conventions on the Arrest of Ships. Mexico follows the monist tradition which means that by virtue of ratifying a treaty and publishing it in the Federal Official Gazette the treaty will be applicable in the country and will be considered Supreme Law second only to the Constitution. It will certainly prevail over other national federal laws.

Mexico enacted the Navigation and Commerce Act in 1964. No provisions reflecting the 1952 Arrest Convention – which as stated is not ratified – were made in the Act. In 1994 the Mexican Legislator enacted the Federal Navigation Act which replaced the former in the light of the North American Free Trade Agreement for the Foreign Investment in Shipping Companies. The opportunity was not seized and the Act remained again silent on issues of arrest. The latest amendment of the Act was in 2006 which is again marked by a total indifference to provide comprehensively issues of arrest.

Thus, in Mexico there is no particular legislation to deal with this special procedure and a claimant will have to rely on the typical civil procedure in a Federal Courts, which does not make any distinctions whatsoever in relation to claims of a maritime nature.

The procedure of arrest of a ship in Mexico has no particular differences from another country of a civil law system. Under Mexican law a ship is considered as a hybrid object, a movable object because of its own nature but is treated as an in movable because of the range of its size, being an object that requires registration for proprietary purposes and the recognition of a hypothec.

According to Articles 2539 to 2545 of the Federal Civil Code the concept of arrest is called “Secuestro” and is considered part of the Deposit Contract. One of the characteristics of the Secuestro is that can be conventional or judicial. For the purpose of this paper reference will be made only to the judicial secuestro that is ordered by a court judgment. However the wording in a commercial procedure is called embargo and for the case of an arrest as a precautionary measure is called embargo precautorio.

In resolving private commercial disputes, a Mexican court must follow the federal Commerce Code. In addition for matters of procedure, the court follows the applicable Federal Civil Proceedings Code. Moreover the Court must follow international law on procedural matters. Concerning international maritime contract disputes, the court must consider the parties’ choice of mechanism (i.e. arbitration) for resolving a dispute and their choice of forum.[46]

In case of maritime claims, as there is no special legislation incorporating either the 1952 or 1999 Arrest Convention there is a lack of special procedure to stop a ship which needs to be detained as a security for the eventual satisfaction of a judgment on the merits of the claim.

To note that the Navigation and Maritime Commerce Law recognizes maritime privileges but just for the issue of ranking when a judgment needs to be enforced on the property. Thus for the arrest of a ship in relation to a maritime claim the procedure to be followed is the same as in any other arrest procedure notwithstanding the peculiar nature of the claim and not taking into consideration the necessity for immediate actions when it comes to security measures against ships.

Consequently the process does not treat a ship as a special object, the sole characteristic is to be considered as movable object that can be arrested for any debt and the claimant is trying to compel the debtor to perform his payment duties.

The procedure of arrest a ship (movable object) begins when the creditor files a claim asking the court for an embargo precautorio prohibiting the debtor from moving or transferring title or other rights to cited assets which automatically are attached to the debtor just for the sake of owning them and pending a resolution on the merits in a commercial proceeding.

Although attachment is available to all creditors, there are certain requirements that must be complied with:[47]

a) the petition for an attachment order as a precautionary measure has to be well supported by documents or witnesses showing that (i) petitioner has a prima facie underlying claim on the merits; and (ii) there’s a potential risk that debtor will hide or transfer

b) ownership rights on his real or personal property. Once the attachment order is granted, the creditor must post a bond that will indemnify the debtor for damages if there’s any wrongful attachment, or if creditor fails to obtain judgment in the suit. The attachment will be then executed only after the bond is posted, (The amount required for the bond is left to the court’s decision).

c) the attachment will be ineffective if there’s no suit filed within three days of the execution. Such term can be extended if the suit has to be filed or followed in any foreign jurisdiction.

As there is no special procedure, the Court will order the detention of a vessel and as a sui generis procedure the next step will probably be the order of the arrest followed by the proper notice from the Court to the Maritime Administration. When the submission is already done it has to be properly handed to the Federal District Court which the claimant appointed. Unfortunately this process will last for days, much longer than a maritime litigator would imagine. As it was mentioned the maritime international trade has developed so quickly that nowadays a vessel can only be anchored in a port just a few hours and this procedure proves most of the time a futile tool in the hands of a creditor.

However, as there is no national law regulating such matters like both the Arrest Conventions, the claimant can continue with the merits of the claim. The court will order execution through a public sale of the attached property, and the author believes will give uncertainty to any shipowner that makes maritime business Mexico.

As the procedure continues, the petitioner’s request must be in writing. The defendant does not receive notice until the court issues its ruling. If the petitioner submits its request after a commercial proceedings has begun (rather than as a pre-filing matter), the court of competent jurisdiction is the same as that of the commercial proceeding.[48]

With all the facts mentioned, if Mexico ratifies the 1999 Arrest convention will have not only the opportunity to give certainty to international maritime procedures, but also will develop the maritime practice in its territory (seeking for legal harmonization).

Many advantages will be done if Mexico ratifies the 1999 Arrest Convention. However the national laws as the Navigation and Commercial Act and the Federal Civil Proceedings Code must change to bring in provisions for this special maritime procedure.

Mexico can certainly provide for a wider list of maritime claims for which arrest would be allowed. However, for the vessels flying the flat of a contracting state such arrest would be made only in relation to those claim specifically provided for in article 1(1) of the 1999 Convention. In relation to vessels flying the flag of a non contracting State, Mexico should reserve its right in terms of Article 10 and not apply the Convention to such vessels.

CHAPTER VI.

Conclusions

1. It has to be noticed that either the 1952 or the 1999 Arrest Conventions are a beneficial legal asset to the international community due to the main objective to harmonize the procedures of arrest in different legal systems.

2. The legal certainty that the 1952 Convention has given to the maritime community is the basis for hopping that the 1999 Convention will also be as successful as the first one.

3. If more countries ratify the 1999 Arrest Convention the underpinning purpose of the Convention of harmonized rules in relation to such procedures will be achieved.

4. Mexico as a well known actor in the maritime community and as a country that is growing, to confirm the development that has achieved over the last 15 years needs to ratify the 1999 Arrest Convention in order give certainty to its own fleet and to the vessels entering its territory.

5. The legal certainty for vessels flying a flag contracting State that trades with Mexico will be increased and more fluent for the sake of the business. That will be accompanied with an increase in the income of the country and will be in favor Mexico and its Ports.

6. Litigators will feel free to use international applicable law avoiding forum shopping due to the restrictions of the Convention itself.

7. Mexico as contracting State can increase the gross tonnage of its fleet of oil tankers and other types of vessels and be sure that when arriving to any other contracting State, reciprocity in terms of the international instrument will be applied and Mexican Shipowners can be sure of the lack of arbitrary detentions.

8. It is also important that Mexico ratifies as soon as possible this Convention and be an example of development and progress.

The Nation shall at all times have the right to impose on private property such limitations as the public interest may demand, as well as the right to regulate the utilization of natural resources which are susceptible of appropriation, in order to conserve them and to ensure a more equitable distribution of public wealth. With this end in view, necessary measures shall be taken to divide up large landed estates; to develop small landed holdings in operation; to create new agricultural centers, with necessary lands and waters; to encourage agriculture in general and to prevent the destruction of natural resources, and to protect property from damage to the detriment of society. Centers of population which at present either have no lands or water or which do not possess them in sufficient quantities for the needs of their inhabitants, shall be entitled to grants thereof, which shall be taken from adjacent properties, the rights of small landed holdings in operation being respected at all times.
In the Nation is vested the direct ownership of all natural resources of the continental shelf and the submarine shelf of the islands; of all minerals or substances, which in veins, ledges, masses or ore pockets, form deposits of a nature distinct from the components of the earth itself, such as the minerals from which industrial metals and metalloids are extracted; deposits of precious stones, rock-salt and the deposits of salt formed by sea water; products derived from the decomposition of rocks, when subterranean works are required for their extraction; mineral or organic deposits of materials susceptible of utilization as fertilizers; solid mineral fuels; petroleum and all solid, liquid, and gaseous hydrocarbons; and the space above the national territory to the extent and within the terms fixed by international law.
In the Nation is likewise vested the ownership of the waters of the territorial seas, within the limits and terms fixed by international law; inland marine waters; those of lagoons and estuaries permanently or intermittently connected with the sea; those of natural, inland lakes which are directly connected with streams having a constant flow; those of rivers and their direct or indirect tributaries from the point in their source where the first permanent, intermittent, or torrential waters begin, to their mouth in the sea, or a lake, lagoon, or estuary forming a part of the public domain; those of constant or intermittent streams and their direct or indirect tributaries, whenever the bed of the stream, throughout the whole or a part of its length, serves as a boundary of the national territory or of two federal divisions, or if it flows from one federal division to another or crosses the boundary line of the Republic; those of lakes, lagoons, or estuaries whose basins, zones, or shores are crossed by the boundary lines of two or more divisions or by the boundary line of the Republic and a neighboring country or when the shoreline serves as the boundary between two federal divisions or of the Republic and a neighboring country; those of springs that issue from beaches, maritime areas, the beds, basins, or shores of lakes, lagoons, or estuaries in the national domain; and waters extracted from mines and the channels, beds, or shores of interior lakes and streams in an area fixed by law. Underground waters may be brought to the surface by artificial works and utilized by the surface owner, but if the public interest so requires or use by others is affected, the Federal Executive may regulate its extraction and utilization, and even establish prohibited areas, the same as may be done with other waters in the public domain. Any other waters not included in the foregoing enumeration shall be considered an integral part of the property through which they flow or in which they are deposited, but if they are located in two or more properties, their utilization shall bedeemed a matter of public use, and shall be subject to laws enacted by the States.

Que me encuentro una estatua, y es de piedra, seguro me la quedo.

2009-11-10T15:55:00.000-08:00

Dicen que alguien tropieza con la misma piedra, siempre, dicen que ahogado el niño a tapar el pozo, dicen que mas vale pájaro en mano que un ciento volando.

Hoy en tanta red social ci la frase tropece con la mimsa piedra, obviamente no se aque se referia, como que siemrpe tiene que estar en interrogación loque mucha gente pone para expresar su estado de ánimo. Es muy válido, mucha gente utiliza frases inconclusas para que los dempás empeicen a preguntar y con el relato subas tus emociones o te hundas en tus tristezas.

El asunto es que en esta sociedad ya no sabes cuando distinguir una amistad pura sana (como el negro TOmás) de un simple flirteo o de algo en serio.

Siempre he tenido una grandualidad en los sentimientos hacia mis "conquistas" primero eres como todo un caballero, lindo, maravilloso, a toda madre, etc, y resulta que tu conquista se acaba y eres "EL MEJOR AMIGO" (YIAK, HUACALA, LA CAGUE DE NUEVO) y pues de verdad han salido las mejores experiencias de amistad.

Luego te envuelves en esos círuclos que ahroa son tan comunes o que por lo menos son siemrpe recurrentes en pláticas de cualquier sana pareja (cualquier sexo) de amigos de novios de amanstes de valedores de lo que sea y se pregunta y tu tendrias un fuck buddie (frase gringoide para decir porque no te conveces a una vieja o guey par que te de pa tus tunas al fin no tienes pareja). Creo que lo anterior es el mejor estado de la juventud madura en una metrópoli tan disasociada con valores tradicionaistas o al contrario son unos reverendos hipócritas o en frente estan los liberales al 100%.

Pasando essas experiencias, siemrpe estas buscando quien te apapche el sentimiento y sentor mariposas , la mangaaaaaaa que, no creo que ya exista eso del enamoramiento, (el cual anhelo) no creo que ya exista ese amor desintersado de eso andar de la manita (quieres ponerle a huevo con quien se te ponga en frente), siemrpe buscas un pretexto para tocarle alguna zona erógena a tu pareja (sea cual sea).

De todo lo anterior cuando de repente vuelves a tocar otra vez la tonteria de que quieres enamorarte, y caes redondito y sin escalas y conoces una gran persona, haces click, pero obcviamente nunca tienes timepo de preguntarle las cosas escenciales e imprtantes como... te gusta dormir solo o acompañado, te gusta destaparte en la noche o duermes como taquito, como comes la coida oriental con palitos ocon cubiertos, y en cambio le preguntas, quiseras tener hijos algun día, crees en la familia, te gusta el matrionio, oye cuantas parejas has tenido, oye que opinas de la politica actual y pura estupidez.

POR SEGUNDA VEZ, De todo lo anterior cuando de repente vuelves a tocar otra vez la tonteria de que quieres enamorarte, y caes redondito y sin escalas y conoces una gran persona, haces click, y le mandas un mail y te lo responde, y supones que todo cambio que ahora si te toca, pero no te atreves.

Finalmetne he de decir yo no tropecé con la misma piedra, yo encotrne una estatua, y es de piedra, seguro me la quedo pero no por que sea masoquista si no porque la escultura es firme, es sólida es inatacable, se termina en mucho tiempo, opina diferetne ati porque no te contesta, te agarada en todo momento, por eso me quedo con mi estatua y esperando que ese maniquí se convierta en carne y hueso y sienta todo lo que siento.

ESTO ES UNA CURSILERIA, PERO ...De todo lo anterior cuando de repente vuelves a tocar otra vez la tonteria de que quieres enamorarte, y caes redondito y sin escalas y conoces una gran persona, haces click...

FINALE: SI NO ES LA BUENA QUITAMELA DE ENFRENTE NO VAYA HACER QUE SE LASTIME PORQUE CUANDO SE DESCONOCE AL SER QUERIDO LO UNICO QUE FALTA ES QUE SE LO LLEVE EL DESTINO

que plantón

2009-07-21T09:27:00.000-07:00

Estimados adictos, no tengo dotes de actor, estudié música y solo me dedico apreciarla y a veces de seguir tendencias wannabe de uno que otro grupo que no me agradan mucho, pero que pegan re fuerte y no dejo de silbar la tonadita (babasónicos).

Esta vez me han entrado unas ganas de ver la obra musical ¡¡¡¡¡que plantón!!!!! y recordar como en 1992 me vestí en un traje o disfraz chafísima (leotardo verde con rayas verde oscuro), que resaltaba mi chubby figura y que hacía muy notoria mi precoz adolescencia, además estaba adornado con un turbante que mi madre había hecho con unas mascadas porque representaba al ARRBANO MERCADER APROVECHADO DEL POBRE ... POBRE PINO y SUS AMIGOS.

Efectivamente, me vestí de leotardo, ensayaba una y otra vez cuando se podía toda la obra, tuve un libreto en las manos por primera vez, me sabía los diálogos de la cebolla, del mango, del pino del nopal y tengo este vago recuerdo de la obra:

DIÁLOGOS QUE RECORDAR:
NOPAL.- No hay como el chile verde... para dar sabor al caldo
CACTO (YO).-BUR ALAS ARBANOS, QUIEREN AGUAS
CEBOLLA.- No me acuerdo, pero la chica que la interpretaba tenía una cara preciosa (Olinka)
LA PALMERA.- GRRRRRRRRRR era un extremo de mujer para sus 12 años
PINO.- El guapo de 6to de primaria (agggg) y yo me sentía celoso porque el papel me lo sabía de memoria.
AHUEHUETE.- El mega Mamey de la generación (jugaba americano) que la hacia de gay y la verdad fue un éxito
HIEDRA VENENOSA.- Karla, una de las chicas mas sagaces y con un ojo clínco para ligar que bueno!!!! siempre peligrosa, bajita, y a la fecha una radical extasiantemetne interesante espero un dia platicar con ella.
MANGO PETACÓN .- Adrián ,traje a la John Travolta de color amarillo y considerado de los galancitos o más bien de los más perseguidos por las chicas, pero le era fiel a su novia que también participó en la obra.

Después de toda esta cursilería, me pregunto si estos cuates que me acuerdo casi de sus nombres completos, se acordarán si quiera de la ridiculez que hicimos en esa época o si acaso de alguna anécdota de este tipo.

Por último para quien lea esto, si puedes ir al teatro, y ver la obra, disfrútala, y me cuentas que tal estuvo, igual me lanzo.

A seguir rockeando!!!!!

El triángulo dorado

2009-06-15T08:21:00.000-07:00

Recuerdo muy bien como simpatizantes de todas las posiciones políticas (pero sobre todo la derecha) han constantemente criticado la actitud y opresión militar del Presidente de Venezuela Chavez y los actos del 68 con Diaz Ordaz y Echeverría,

--- y el día de hoy--- una notita pasó desapercibida y no ha sido abucheada por esa derecha que según odia la represión y pugna por el derecho de la sociedad civil o será que es todo lo contrario?

El día de hoy partieron desde la ciudad de México 5000 soldados al Triangulo Dorado (Durango, Sinaloa y Chihuahua) para seguir combatiendo al narcotráfico. Al ver esta noticia, me pregunté de verdad el presidente si esta combatiendo al crimen organizado, ... ¿no será que estos jóvenes graduados de un "ejército de paz" serán carne de cañón?...

Cuando se escucha por primera vez en mucho tiempo la cifra de 5000 nuevos soldados no se les ocurre, ¿estamos en guerra o que pasa? ¿realmente ha valido la pena esta política de erradicación contra el crimen sacrificando a los soldaditos de plomo? en lo particular se me hace que la política de de "paz" esta causando más guerra.

Como una simple opinión y retomando los dichos de muchos otros opinadores, dicen que la ultra derecha y la ultra izquerida no son muy alejadas una de la otra, a lo mejor tienen razón y en un extemo puede que la historia sea una vil circunferencia y realmente se repite... y los humanos no aprendemos nada y nos distinguimos como seres "racionales" por conveniencia y ... por los dedos oponibles.

El caso es que la noticia me trajo a la mente la crítica incesante que la derecha y los medios le hacen y/o hicieron siempre a Chavez y Diaz Ordaz y Echeverría, puesto que no es muy diferente estas (re)acciones del gobierno federal de mandar militares recien egresados. Estos hechos irresponsables son símbolo de que tenmos que razonar a quien escogemos como gobernantes.

Creo que a nadie beneficia mas violencia donde ya existe violencia, creo que las políticas píublicas de seguridad de una nación no se soluciona con más y mas granadas y más y más cartuchos, con más y más intransigencia.

Comparo burdamente estos hechos con un salón de clases donde el/la docente tiene 1 mes de haber recibido su diploma y su primer encargo, es el alumnado que está durante el proceso de la niñez a adolescencia y que solo acude a la reacción que tienepara lograr el orden es decir ... el grito, el regaño, la sanción y el juicio impositivo de su autoridad; y esto causa que el grupo no logra ser atrapado por los conocimientos y simplemente hace lo que quiere y en consecuencia se desgasta el/la docente sin solucionar nada y solo hay dos caminos de conclusión:

1.- renunciar o

2.- medio solucionar aspectos de forma y no de fondo.

Termino comparativo o analogía

Ahora me pregunto, ¿dónde estan esos activistas pro izquierda ultra y pro derecha ultra o por otro lado simplemete reclamones sin decisión de postura?, que dicen los de acción responsable... mandemos a mas militares para generar la paz y que las drogas no le lleguen a mis hijos, sabiendo que con mas violencia solo se genera violencia; ¿dónde están los grupos contra la delincuencia que organizan sus marchitas y que se sigue a paso a paso la invesigación del hijo del millonario secuestrado y muerto ?.

¿Donde estan los grupos de "derechos humanos", que siempre velan por el "diálogo" y solución de conflictos rompiendo leyes fundamentales y que cierra calles y que velan por los derechos de los pobres y que de buenas a primeras abandona su capricho y ahora si esta de "lider" en minorías (1 y 2) desesperadas por sobrevivir, por eso me pregunto...que no estos grupos tienen que defender ese derecho ya en este instante?

Y donde esta la valiosisima opinión de los medios masivos que siguen en lo del voto blanco o nulo? pensemos...que con estas noticias que ellos mismos transmiten (pero en este caso no critican) siguen deseando esparcir esta "protesta" con anular su voto? y la corresponsabildad donde se les quedo con su dignidad en los casinos concesionados o en la revista QUIEN?

Estoy seguro que las políticas públicas en materia de seguridad de este gobiern-ito- se parecen cada vez más a las medidas represoras de regímenes dictatoriales extranjeros o regímenes del pasado de este país, que estoy seguro que ni los de izquierda quieren represion como en el 68, ni los medios quieren que se les quiten sus casinos o su derecho a manifestar el deseo de anular el voto.

Lo único que reafirmo es que la gente simpatizante de la acción responsable esta de acuerdo con más violencia, con seguir siendo cómplices de la represión y estan en pro del toque de queda con tal de que sus hijos esten a salvo. --como dirian ellos, el fin justifica los medios--

QUE TRISTEZA

Por eso concluyo, vaya a VOTAR el 5 de julio, no se deje engañar, la violencia genera más violencia, la intransigencia no da lugar a un avance conciente y planeado, la decisión de no escoger solo resulta que todo quede estático, y los errores del pasado deben de ser conocidos y no repetirlos.

EN ESTOS TIEMPOS ELECTORALES "PENNE A LA ARRABIATA"

2009-06-11T13:59:00.000-07:00

Cuantas veces Usted Político, doctor, enfermera, ingeniera, astronauta, rock star y en general toooodas las profesiones han soñado con estar envuelto en algo de de película?

Era el año de 2006, estabamos en tiempo del Estatut Catalá y todo el relajo para escoger al nuevo gobierno o administración tripartita de la Ciudad de Barcelona eran casi las 6 de la tarde, euforicamente el ambiente veraniego a pie de playa, todo iba acorde a la pasión futbolera del mundial en Alemania, el Tri estaba en un lugar privilegiado dentro del ranking de la FIFA, y yo como normalmente en días de vacaciones veia los partidos con la peña italiana en un locutorio en la calle de Marina a escasos 10 minutos de la Costa.

El partido que se transmitía era el de la selección Italiana contra la de Ghana, lo recuerdo como si fuera ayer, durante la transmisión del partido no faltaron Luca, Vicenzo (el dueño), Simón (el amigo del Dueño) y por supuesto, Benedetta, y Ana (aaaaaa que guapa es), y muchas chicas Brasileñas, Argentinas etc, sobraban las chelas, los cubatas, las maldiciones y mentadas de madre en tres o cuatro idiomas.

Requisitos para ver el juego en el locutorio:
-Chanclas o playeras
-camiseta o playera
-vaqueros o jeans
-bambas o tenis
-cigarrillos o pitis
-pasta o varo o lana
-mota, caquita de chango, o lo que te fueras a meter (opcional, el respeto ante todo)

Después de los 90 minutos, la fiesta continuó debido a la victoria de la Azzurra, de repente la platica se tornó mucho más interesante.

Junta Italianos, Brasileñas, y Mexicanos eso no se considera como reunión si no es la antesala a una declaración de guerra manifiesta de parte de los vecinos, la policia antinarcoticos y un agente de migración para mandarte al cuerno jajajaja.

Durante el paso del la fiesta, la conciencia empiezaa fallar y le tiras los perros a cualquier chica que se te ponga en frente traiga o no acompañante.

Vicenzo empezaba a hablar de que al día siguiente no abririan el negocio porque iban hacer una película, yo obviamente intersado en ver como la filmaban asenti a la invitiación para ayudar a arregalr el SET PROFESIONAL, las risas de los italianos sonaron.

La verdad con el pedo que traía no puse atención a las burlas y me retiré a casa.

Al dia siguiete la cita era en punto a las 12 de día, la clave para pasar al locutorio era el marcador entre la esquadra azzurra y la selección de Ghana (2-0).

Cuando me abrieron estaba todo perfectamente arreglado, olia a limpio pero habian puesto a quemar... incienso para el gusto de las dos de las chicas (actrices) a medio vestir y terminandose un porro con hachis, situación que me parecio completamente "normal" debido a experiencias pasadas en las fiestas de esos Italianos.

No pasaron más de 5 minutos cuando apareció Simón: estatura 1.65, pelo chino, barba cerrada, persona que hasta el momento habia presumido y sostenido ... lo fuerte que era su ... hígado, al beber, pues oh sopresa la que me llevé.

De inmediato me dí cuenta que era uno de los utileros de una pelicula porno ITALO BRASILEÑA, paso seguido las chicas se empiezan a desvestir con la naturalidad que caracteriza en tierras europeas, y Vicenzo el dueño me dice en todo latino haciendola de director.

-Alora toma esos cables y pásalos sobre el ordenador...
-Ok respondí

Simón se quitó la bata y juro que no le llegaba a media barbilla de las "acrtrices" -lease amigas con muy buen sentido del humor y una MORAL intachable-

20 minutos despues Simon trabajaba, fumaba mota, ingería chelas y las chicas igual fume que fume queme que queme...

y así se filmó PENNE A LA ARRABIATA

- fin del breviario lo demás imaginaros como estuvo!!!!-

El día de hoy con una mente muy muy liberal que me caracteriza, caminaba por la calle y me encuentro un flyer que dice HAGAMOS UNA PORNO -se necesita gente de amplio criterio, -con ganas de divertirse y en la parte inferior de la publicidad, habia esos papelitos para poder llamar.

De inmediato mi mente voló a 2006, a mi trabajo de gran utiliero y dije que bunea onda y ahora en MÉXICO!!!! dije perfecto donde me anoto, siempre se necesita que alguien cargue ... desde los cables hasta las chicas guapas exhaustas grrrrrrr.

De inmediato, tomé uno de los papelitos para comunicarme, ponerme a las órdenes de la producción y dejar de lado mis ocupaciones vespertinas políticas en campaña para dedicarme a la industria del cine que tanta alegria lleva a todos los hogares, un SÉPTIMO ARTE de verdad.

Cual fue mi desilusión que, sólo es la publicidad (muy ocurrente) del estreno de la Película que lleva por título HAGAMOS UNA PORNO por su nombre en español, fue cuando me di cuenta que no podía continuar con mi vida util de utilero en peliculas de bajo costo que tantas sonrisas dejan y tengo que seguir con la vida burocrática y política institucional vespertina tan apasionante (no es sarcasmo) y seguir con la lucha de mis ideales.

Adictos

DE LOS DIMES Y DIRETES EN EL MAR MEXICANO

2009-06-01T11:22:00.000-07:00

Diria que esto parece más que una sopa de chismes de conversación lo traslado a la altura de las más grandes cúpulas de uno de los sectores mas importantes a nivel mundial el MARÍTIMO.

Estimados adictos a este espacio, esta es la primera vez que me tomo la libertad de relatar sobre algo que me apasiona, el DERECHO MARÍTIMO con la escueta experiencia, con el ímpetu lleno de idealismo sobre el desarrollo y exito de las instituciones de un país democrático como Mexico.

Resulta que hace poco nombraron al Capitán Riveros como el nuevo director de la Dirección General de Marina Mercante después de la salida de uno de los colaboradores más cercanos a Luis Tellez ex secretario de la SCT, (ya ven como es el rollo en la Admon Pública).

Dicho lo anterior, en este ambiente marítimo hay leyendas de capitanes que desarrollaron a la marina mercante a niveles impensables por ejemplo el Capitán Bandala, y por lo que se lee (blog marinos mercantes) todo se fue al traste cuando la vida castrense naval dejo de ser la patrona de este sector para pasar a manos de la S.C.T. y llevar a cabo planes de esa cosa llamada neoliberalismo, y que es parte del más crudo capitalismo y que la marina mercante fuera como debe de ser plenamente COMERCIAL y no CASTRENSE.

mucho aceite ... VAMONOS A LO BUENO...

Le empezaré dando crédito a los Marinos mercantes y su blog de donde daré crédito de los que sube a la red su información y opinión para que puedan consultar el antecedete.

A raíz del nombramiento de Riveros y que uno se entera por la vía de la información electrónica se dicen varias cosas, para consultar favor de ir aqui, seria interesante comparar algunos comentarios en las dos páginas con un solo post de un capitan en ambas.

Si bien es cierto el nombramiento de Riveros es felicitado por el CAP. RAÚL DE LA CABADA en la revista T21, por otro lado, categóricametne él mismo establece en el espacio de marinos mercantes que desea mucho que llegue el Cap. Peyrot (otro nuevo personaje) hijo del ex. Secretario de Marina con FOX y que tiene algunos (s) periodicazo (s) no muy agradables y que desconoce a otro nuevo personaje que en los medios electrónicos solo tiene buenos comentarios y muy buena nota que enaltece al país el Ing. Mec. Naval Luis Martínez Wolf (leer curriculum -ENGLISH SPOKEN-) que cuenta con otra página llamada http://www.barloventeando.com/.

que chorizo se esta armando ... que no??? y sigue

En el mismo blog de los HH. Marinos Mercantes dan el total apoyo al Cap. Peyrot porque la FUMMAC lo apoya, y que e es la FUMMAC pues es: Frente Unido de Marinos Mercantes que tiene como presidente a Víctor Martínez Rodríguez que obviamente esta o estaba pugnando por que no se abra el TLCAN en todas sus sectores y porque será??? sera porque tiene intereses con los dirigentes de los Partidos CONVERGENCIA y CON AMLO, neta ... si no me creen chuequen si asi es CHUEQUEN esta notita entonces...

Volvamos de nuevo a los comentarios del blog de los marinos mercantes donde algunos Capitanes y personas que opinan, aseguran que a Peyrot lo apoya la famosa FUMMAC pero aqui ya no entendí PEYROT = PAN y FUMMAC = PRD y CONVERGENCIA... me estoy perdiendo pero...

Matando CABOS..... perdón Atando cabos y dándole "suelta" al mismo me preguntaré...

¿Qué tiene que ver el Ing. Wolf con el Cap. Riveros? me imagino una buena amistad puesto que escriben en su página de Internet antes mencionada

¿Porqué el Cap. de la Cabada felicita a Riveros en la revista T21 y en el blog dice que mejor llegue a Marina Mercante el hijo del ex Secretario Peyrot que en mi opinión es un experto en marina Militar o naval o como se llame sin ofender, chequen su curriculum y favor de decirme que sabe de MARINA MERCANTE????? el debería de ser el profesor de nuestros Rambos mexicanos que no???

¿Porque el apoyo de la FUMMAC reivindicadora y supuesta Asociación luchadora social de las bases maritimas con AMLO y Dante Delgado esta apoyando a Peyrot un PANISTA de derecha (perdon el pleonasmo es solo ilustrativo) DIOSSSSSSSSSSSSS que pasa????

YA BASTA DE CHOROS

SI POR LO QUE HE RELATADO ALGUIEN TIENE DUDAS FAVOR DE MANDARME COMENTARIOS Y PREGUNTAS Y POR CIERTO...

¿QUIEN SERÁ EL DEFINITIVO DIRECTOR GENERAL DE MARINA MERCANTE?

Peyrot que hace una nueva ley de navegación y que llega con las dudas nepotistas de su padre y respaldado por antiguos amigos de los pobres primero (AMLO Y DANTE DELGADO)

El Ing. Wolf que por mas que busque solo encontre un mal comentario en solitario derivado de su entrevista con Manuel Hernandez periodista de NOTIVER .

Riveros se quedará???

Independietemente de como se muevan las piezas es necesario VOLVERA a hacer un llamado a TODOS los Servidores PUBLICOS que tienen decisión en el asunto.

FAVOR DE DESARROLLAR LA MARINA MERCANTE mediante la vía mas democrática con las prácticas INTERNACIONALES que hacen lo bello de este SECTOR por ejemplo estar en PRO de la UNIDROIT, de la utilización de las Sociedadse Clasificadoras, de Especializar a los marinos con tooodo.

SALUDOS

FLASH INFORMATIVO SE APRUEBA LA LEY CONTRA EL NARCOMENUDEO

2009-04-29T08:46:00.000-07:00

Estimados glotones les informo que el día de ayer en medio de todo el alboroto INFLUENSOSO se mandó para los efectos constitucionales la Ley contra el Narcomenudeo en México, en pocas palabras cuanta porqueria puedes llevar encima sin que te mentan al bote.

Los pocos informes que tengo son solamente la versión estenográfica de la HHH Cámara de Senadores, sinceramente estaria genial que el Presidente de la República no ejerciera su derecho de veto y le diera en la torre al trabajo del poder legisltaivo.

Huelga decir y en mi opinión parece ser que las cosas en el país se calmarán (ejecuciones. muertos, acribillados, balas perdidas, etc), probablemetne si o quizá sigan igual, lo que casi puedo asegurar esq ue no se incrementarán. El combate a las drogas creo que se hace desde estas trincheras no la violencia desmedida.

En el caso particular de esta creación y aprobación de la ley fue avalada por 87 senadores y la votaron en contra 10 queire decir que la mayoría fue abrumadora, es decir no hay dudas, no hay cosas escondidas, no hay el tipico les hicieron chanchullo.

Les dejo los links de la noticia del periódico El Universal, la versión estenógráfica de la sesión del día de ayer 28 de abril del 2009, el documento propuesto por las comisiones de salud y estudios legislativos del Senado para ser votado y aprobado, y el nombre de los que votaron en un ratito saldrán publicados en la página principal del Senado de la República.

Todo esto me hace pensar de nuevo y en consecuencia hacerme varias preguntas las cuales solo plantearé y esperaré respuesta de los interesados.

1. Sabiendo que paises como España, no escatiman nunca en la ayuda internacional INMEDIATA a paises en vías de desarollo y/o paises del tercer mundo, lease huracán, terremoto, gripe aviar, lo que sea, ¿Pórque se ha tardado la comunidad Internacional (paises en lo particular) en mandar ayuda a México? SIN INCLUIR lo que supuestmente envió la OMS.

2. Por que se les salio del "huacal" el Presidente de la CANIRAC solicitando al gobierno que reconsideraran el no cerrar los restaurantes, que no ¿"Todos" estan de acuerdo? , ¿porque les reclama que los ambulantes no organizados van a seguir vendiendo y los establecidos que estan en "regla" debe de cerrar? me pregunto ¿CELOS?

3. ¿Porque algunas obras del DF no pararon su actividad? ¿Necesitaban menos automóviles para trabajar mejor?

Por último, debemos de agradecer a los Senadores de la República el realizar con apego a la ley su trabajo, creo que la responsabilidad de los demás servidores públicos es decir la verdad puesto que pueden ser sancionados, creo que no habia necesidad de difundir tanto terror.

Me gustaria aclarar que si hago estas preguntas no es porque yo no sea afiliado al partido del gobierno federal o del local del DF, si no que estoy casi seguro que no soy el único que lo piensa así.

Espero que la información que les mande sea de su completa satisfacción.

Saludos

LA CALLE DEL HAMBRE ... (PASILLO DE LA SALMONELA)

2009-04-28T08:17:00.000-07:00

Ubicado en la calle de ">Chilpancingo entre las calles de el Eje 3 Sur o Baja California y la calle de Tlaxcala existe un famoso y esperado lugar por todos los habitantes temporales de la zona condesera, es un paraiso lleno de: Nana, Buche, Surtida, Maciza, Tacos de Birria a 5 pesos cada uno, y en caso de querer el plato es a 25 pesos, no pudeen faltar la tatiana, la trevi, la manterola, la hawaiana, la huguiña, la de pastor con queso (es decir TORTONAS), continuando con el menú tacos de suadero, tripa y longaniza, costilla, bistek o campechano, caldos de gallina y quesadillas con pambazos, pero lo que siempre es más recurrido son los puestosde tacos de chicarronA prensado, chile relleno, higaditos en salsa verde, lengua con riñones enchilados, carne enchilada, alambre y chicharrón delgado, mila(nezza), huevo a la mexicana, moronga (rellena), albóndigas, rajas con crema, y de tomar un boing o una coca cola y pa' acabar jugos licuados y menjurjes milagrosos frente a una clínica del ahora muy solicitado IMSS (y no es el Instituto Mexicano del Sonido).

Que raro?? y porque traigo en mis manos un Minute maid hechoa basa de naranjas naturales (pero sabe a tropicana) una papa hash y por ultimo un McMuffin de Huevo con salchicha?

---

Hoy como pocas mañanas llegue con el estómago vacío a la oficina, después de haber conducido por una semi vacia Chilangolandia que impresiona, por lo tanto me estaba yo sobando las manos, se me hacía agua la boca para llegar a uno de los restaurantes mas concurridos de la zona.

Es más, al pasar frente a ellos antes de llegar al recinto laboral, dudé en quedarme y comprar los víveres para que oliera mi cubiculo a cebolla y aceitito, pero me dije - Mimismo no te desesperes llegas a la oficina, enciendes tu ordenador y sales de inmediato-.

Como a eso de las 10 am decidí salir por mi desayuno, dispuse a tomar mis medicamentos para curar mi faringitis y tomarlas durante el consumo de los alimentos, sin embargo, al acercarme... me percate de que el pasillo de la salmonea estaba cerrado desde el primer puesto, y hasta llegar al de los jugos y licuados hasta la otra calle.

No saben como se antojaba un taquito de rollito de jamon con queso empanizado y un taco de rellena. Mi sentido del gusto se decepcionó y culpé mil veces a la madita INFLUEZA (que hace temblar, y bailar a México) que en menos de 5 días tiene a los habitantes de la ciudad y su zona metropolitana llena de INCERTIDUMBRE.

A raiz de ésta psicótica, mal llevada y alarmista amenaza del virus de la influenza porcina, nuestro gobierno se ha dedicado a difundir terror, racismo, enemistades debido a puntos de vista extremos entre colegas, falta de conciencia y solidaridad, además ayuda a que las familias mexicanas que viven del comercio informal la pasen de mal en peor.

Si así es, después de esta gran decepción de estar saboreándome desde la salida de mi casa, hasta este momento mi ausente desayuno, corroboré lo que muchos inexpertos me habían dicho: la cosa se va a poner fuerte, la gente puede empezar a cerrar sus negocios por miedo al contagio y por ordenes del gobierno, y así más y mas ideas que me llegaban a la cabeza, cuando de repente me encuentro frente a la letra más famosa del siglo XX una espantosa M mayúscula y ahora sabrán por llevo enmis manos mi MAC PAQUETE.

Visto lo anterior, hago una pequeña reflexión, asi pequeñita... porque esta abierto el mac que hace exactamente lo mismo que una fonda, una locheria, un restarante casero, asi como mis tristemetne puestos callejeros en los que consta perfectametne como lavan con "fab", cloro del pato, pinolmex y echan hasta criolina diario pa que la gente regrese, y en cambio el mac solo te fijas como embarran un mechudito y cada vez que caminas se medio resbalan o pegostean las suelas de los zapatos.

QUE ACASO HAY ALGO ESCONDIDO AQUI??? que solo pueden trabajar los "avalados" por el CEMEFI , aqui es donde retomo el racismo, la falta de solidaridad, la falta de conciencia, etcetera, creo que en lugar de tenernos aterrorizados, debemos de asumir otro discurso no seamos parte del miedo que se propaga rapidamente. Me pregunto... ¿dónde están las "organizaciones de la sociedad civil" que van a a marchar en contra de la delincuencia? ¿donde estan las instituciones religiosas para ayudar al prójimo? sabemos que no van a estar, por tal razón es responsabildiad de nosotros hacer las cosas para no variar.

Sigan las indicaciones gubernamentales, sigan las indicaciones de sus médicos especialistas y si no estan enfermos, y están vacunados, sanos, a trabajar, a sacar adelante este país. y no se ponga loco e hipocondriaco el virus no esta en el aire esta de paso entre persona y persona INFÓRMESE.

Saludos

Y SEIS MESES DESPUES

2008-12-09T12:21:00.000-08:00

Etimadisimos Bloggeros, lectores, ociosos, huevones y amigos todos etc.:

Se preguntarán que cosa le movio al abogadito a volver a publicar algo, pues si la maldita y bien llevada felicidad.

Resulta que han pasado mas de 6 meses que no meto nada por aqui (y lo peor nada por allá o por acuyá).

En estos seis meses han pasado tantas cosas, me corrieron del trabajo, me quede sin dinero, las deudas me matan y decidi que volveria darle otra oportunidad a mi carrera, pues... ¿qué creén? que asi fue la vida medio un giro de 180 grados (y por desgracia no de alcohol) y cai centradito donde tenia que estar.

Resulta que han pasado seis meses y que la rutina cambió, al estar en el RENATA me incorporé al estudio arduo de la política mexicana seguro ella y ella se burlarán de mi, con la gran idea de volvera terminar algo pero volvió a pasar no pude acabar porque cai centradito donde tenia que estar.

Encontándome en el lugar donde hace casi 8 años era necesario estar, lo logre, esta lleno de baches, de hueva atrasada, de vicios y de malas actitudes pero el lugar me sietna perfecto, un cubículo de 3 x 3 m2 un pinchurriento escritorio, dos cuadros re pinches uno de 1 puerto y 1 de un buque naval, mi mesa de 1970 al estilo Garcés y obviamente mi ogdinatuur (computadora).

Hace desde el sexto mes del año en curso que no sabia si me quedaba estancado o mejor me largaba, y resultó que estoy en una ecrucijada de deudas y que por eso no puedo gastar en absolutametne nada, es mas ni en mis deudas ni en mis porros solo en el bendito y gran amigo el alcohol.

Y por último, érase hace VI meses y ya odiaba la navidad, y pues ahora remato con decir que gracias a ésta época y al estar endeudado, sin meter ni sacar nada de ningun lado, con un lugar de trabajo tan X que no me podria sentir mejor porque estoy en lo que quiero hacer, el lugar donde es posible que en un tiempo el blog cambie totalmente y por lo tanto la vie.

Salud y si tome no maneje

PD. les recomiendo un BIKINI DE NOCHE los jueves de las 9 a las 10:30 pm en www.chilangoradio.com.mx

INCAPACIDAD FISICA

2008-06-27T13:47:00.000-07:00

Esta entrada se trata de odio para que mayeuticamente poder salir adelante.

Ustedes imaginen lo que es el esfuerzo de poder laborar en algun lugar que tanto quieren que cuando mas lo niegan es imposible de quitarlo de la cabeza y el seguir intentandolo -es cuestion de obsesión por el propio desafio de escalar montañas que a los mortales nos lo impiden. - como diria el mismo Lalo Esparza (malo que te encuentren roban y dos veces peor)

Resulta ser aque el pedir favores en esta época no son de a gratis, solamente para personas bien intencionadas nos resulta a bien realizarlos, pero para que uno sea parte de esa cadena es muy dificil si no hay una contraprestacion un - bargain of exchange - una reciprocidad (mal llamada asi) porque el devolver el favor es con intereses.

Si le solictas un favor a un amig@ pues lo haces sin mediar algo a cambio de regreso, a menos que tengas interés en su herman@ o saber que le podrás cobrar de otra manera en un futuro, pues si mis queridos bloggers eso es exactamente lo que me paso:

Un dia decidi largarme a otro pais para ser "mejor" y "especializarme" y al regresar a mi querida patria tricolor me di cuenta como muchos les ha pasado (no a todos) pudieron quedarse en esos paises a trabajr o a hacer su nueva vida, yo por institnto patriotico regrese a dar lo que me dio esta padtria, pero resulta que la derecha estaba llegando al poder de nuevo (asco) y que la pseudo izquierda bloqueaba las calles (menoscabando el derecho de otros muchos).

La polarización de la sociedad por el poder y el mal poder (gobierno saliente) hace o hace que los retornadores de conocimiento no tenemos cabida para retribuir nuestro país y ni siquiera a la ip impnsable como siempre.

Por dar un ejempo el pais a hora cuenta con un servicio profesional de carrera, jajajaja no me hagan reir eso no existe, infinidad de veces que entras por amigos y luego te dan las respuestas de los famosisimos exámenes de ceneval (institucion privada) contratada por el gobierno y legitimar lo inevitable la venta de plazas mas bien el regalo .

Dialogo entre un profesional con iniciativa (pendejo)

Un ciudadano normal con una cierta especialización profesional decide llamar a un lugar por el cual se fue del país para poder ser util y con conocimiento cientifico probarse como patriota ser humano y profesional.

Paralelamente habia tenido contacto con grupos politicos y se le hizo facil "pedir un favor"

-Buenas tardes - Ciudadano

-Oficina del legislador x buenas tardes -secretaria-

-Se encuentra el legislador x esta esperando mi llamada - ciudadano
-Si Sr. Ciudadano estabamos esperando su llamada permitame le comunico con su secretaria particular - secretaria-
-gracias - ciudadadno
- sr. ciudadano lo estabamos esperando, despues de 3 meses el legislador ha accedido a hablar con el sr. secretario como usted lo solicito desde un principio debido a su incansable trayectoria como militante activo de partido y poder interceder para que labore en el gobierno de opsicion a nuestro partido pero que será de gran utilidad al país - secretaria particular del legislador x-

- si pues ya sabe que como le conté llevo 8 años (desde mis años universitarios) poder ser parte de la administración publica cuando todavia estaba nuestro partido en el poder pero ahora dentro del gobierno puedo hacer mucho por mi país tan es asi que por esta patria me fui a "especializarme" y parte de esta rama tan rara de mi pofesion - ciudadano

pasan un par de minutos esperando el enlace...

-... mire me comenta el sr. legislador que ya llamó que tienen su curriculum en el escritorio y que esta semana seguro tenemos respuesta - secretaria particular del sr. legislador x

-perfecto, mientras esperaba la respuesta del señor legislador llamé a la dependencia y me dijeron que en estos dos dias sabiamos una respuesta. mmm... no le queire decir al sr. legislador x que llame en estos días para dar mas fuerza al argumento y asi podamos cerrar esta operaciòn?- ciudadano x-

-mire si como no yo le digo no te preocupes usted ya ha estado llamando durante 3 meses y el legislador lo ubica medianamente, ya sabe compañero que todo por sus militantes, pero dice el señor legislador que no se me vaya a convertir porque ya sabe que esos testicu... perdon "testigos de jeoba" son ... acosadores y acechan perfectameten a la presa y ala mera hora se va amilitar al otro partido . -secretaria particular del legislador x

-perfecto claro que no yo soy institucional - ciudadano

Un par de dias pasaron

El ciudadano llamo a la dependencia y le diejron que el sr. funcionario no ha recibido ninguna llamada de ese tipo (del legislador x) según el secretario particular del funcionaro del partido opositor en el poder.

Después de las 25 llamadas en estos ultimos 3 meses hemos decidido que no hay presupuesto que el pais se cae que no hay alimentos que la asuteridad pulula en nuestras oficinas sobre todo por el nuevo piso de marmol de carrera que pusimos asi que lo siento.

Insisito en un futuro te llamamos dejamos tu curriculum en a base de datos del gobierno a ver si encuentas algo

gracias ....

Ahora entiendo la impotencia de no poder llegar a ser alguien donde el "elitoidismo" eslo que impera

CREO QUE LO QUE DEPARA AHORA ES VENDER PEPITAS COMO TODO UN PROFESIONAL EN EL COMERCIO INFORMAL CON TODA LA DISPOSICION DE UTILIZAR MIS EXTREMIDADES

UN CIRCULO NUEVO

2008-05-30T12:45:00.000-07:00

Resulta que ahora estoy siendo incluido de manera muy extraña en un nuevo conjunto de personalidades. La gente que me rodea son solo intelectuales, verdaderos escritores (no como el que suscribe) repletos de ideas y acciones concretadas, pululan los ganadores y la verdad mola.

De lo poco que puedo comprender, este grupo tertuliano generacional implica 3 cosas, a saber, tener un blog como este que no es gran cosa, la segunda saber beber y disfrutar de la vida que tampoco es gran cosa y la tercera ser inteligente (lo cual me cuesta un poco de trabajo).

De lo anteriormente narrado pueden observar que la egolatría y yo somos uno mismo no se a que se deberá, pero ... es lo que hay.

Por primera vez me atrevo a relatar en 3 párrafos lo que me paso el día de ayer y no lo puedo creer, ya que me considero un ser mas visual y que funciono mejor de frente que escribiéndole a esta caja de la información, me despido diciendono se puede jugar a los dados con el mundo (A.E.)
