Can I Connect An Optical Cable To My 360



August seems to be aimed in Colombia not only be month in which kites soar due to high winds, it was also the time of year when the country has coincidentally been losing a wide-ranging figures in its history.


ago just nine years, the August 13, 1999, was killed the great humorist Jaime Garzón. His work, his wit and criticism of Colombian political society are still reverberating in the minds of the older and the memories of the young.

Coincidentally, death and life Jaime joined with another Colombian artistic figure. The Colombia-Argentina Fanny Mikey, who shared Garzón scene in the play "Mama Colombia ' died Aug. 16. Both, from their professions gave all of himself to the country was a promotion of the arts, culture, reflection, humor and entertainment. Unfortunately Garzon the violent silencing but did not erase his memory.

Nine years ago the death of physical spiritual but not our street Heriberto surprised me finishing my high school. His departure left me as other young people a path that affect their future. Today, 9 years after the death of Fanny surprise me in the exercise of my profession and attending closely to his dismissal.

As at that time Colombians took to dismiss its idols and confirming that people can more than violence, because Fanny and Jaime will last them more on memory than other national figures. Not for nothing the two of salsa music fired Cesar Mora.


To cite another coincidence fatal, this month marks 19 years of assassination of Luis Carlos Galan Sarmiento, who in 1989 sought to Presidency of Colombia. Not just a life ended by the violent joins Galán and Garzon, but also that this latter has been mayor of Sumapaz thus not places him far from the political arena as it would .

The August 18, 1989 on the foundation square Soacha assassins ended the life of Carlos Galan. Ten years later, the scene was repeated with Jaime Garzón as he was to leave the station Radionet. Today several statues in the city honor the memory of these two national figures.


In a few years, the name of Fanny Mikey is immortalized in the Iberoamerican Theater Festival and probably also at the National Theatre 71. They will last forever in the memory of the Colombians. His life was great and of course, his death too.

pain is always the same but does not exceed the memory of their works. As was the life of another comet who left this month, Orlando Fals Borda scholar, who contributed greatly to the intellectual output and research the country and even the world.



From the depths of the soul: peace in their graves.
