"Relationships are hard. It's like a full-time job, and we should treat it like one. If your boyfriend or girlfriend wants to leave you, they should give you two weeks' notice. There should be severance pay, and before they leave you, they should have to find you a temp."

Wow.....
Funny thing is... it's been a year since I wrote that, and that's pretty much what my year has been like (at some points to worrisome scales jeje).

A disconcerting whirlwind of questions.

But I finally seem to be getting back on track,... the anxiety of the situation going on to the
next town, and I have a much better idea of what the answers might be.

Could the cursed veil be lifting?...
Stay tuned for next week's episode of... *dramatically charged crescendo*...

Mayo 1997
Mi hermano mayor (el Joshua) me lleva con él a hacerse un tatuaje. Yo quería hacerme uno también, llevaba con esa monería varios meses. Mi hermano me aconsejó que esperara unos años a ver si todavía quería hacérmelo porque eso no era una decisión que se tomaba a la ligera. Como considero a mi hermano como una persona de gran inteligencia (y porque no tenía la menor idea del tatuaje que quería) decidí hacerle caso.

Septiembre 2000
Barcelona.- “Ha llegado el momento!” Tras investigar varios sitios de tatuaje... me decido por uno, hago una cita y pago un depósito de la mitad de lo que costaría el tatuaje para reservarla la hora (me imagino que esto se debe a la cantidad de cancelaciones por cobardía de parte de clientes potenciales).

El tatuaje: un Hobbes (el tigre de la tira cómica “Calvin & Hobbes”). “¿Por qué?” ¿Por qué no? No existen palabras para lograr la comprensión ajena del valor sentimental que oculta esta figura bidimensional para mí.

Armando (alias Origami) decide acompañarme, con el plan de pasarse el camino entero en metro (y la parada obligatoria para sacar dinero) tratando de convencerme de no hacerlo. Yo me mantengo determinada (después de todo, ya había pagado el depósito). Llegamos a la parada (“te va a doler”), caminamos hacia la calle (“que nooo, que te vas a arrepentir”), subimos la estrecha escalera con una luz amarilla que parece indicarnos el lugar como la estrella de Belén (“piénsalo”), nos paramos frente a la puerta (que se parece bastante a esas puertas de la oficina del investigador privado de las viejas películas de Hollywood), y de repente oigo algo por arriba de las palabras de Armando, algo que suena como un taladro de dentista acompañado de un grito femenino pero emitido por una especie masculina: “uuuaaaaayyyy!” En ese momento, di la media vuelta y corrí hacia la calle llevandome a Armando de encuentro (quién apenas podía caminar por la risa mucho menos correr tras mí). El depósito no fue tanto dinero después de todo.

Noviembre 2002
2002, este es el año en el que en mi vida se comenzaron a producirse grandes cambios en mí, cambios de los cuales no habría marcha atrás. Era momento de dejar los sueños infantiles (ya era tiempo) y descubrir quién yo era, o por lo menos tener una idea más clara. Cambios que no mostrarían su efecto hasta el verano del 2004 y continuarían afectándome por un buen tiempo más.

Como premonición de los tropezones que me esperaban (y fueron muchos, pero siempre cayendo hacia delante y sobre la nariz, para luego continuar iluminada como Rudolph tras la experiencia aprendida), decidí que verdaderamente había llegado el momento de dejar una marca en mí (algo como A.C. y D.C.). Mi miedo a las agujas también sería vencido en el proceso.

El tatuaje: Woodstock, un pajarito chiquito con dificultad de vuelo y que chocaba con todo, quién desataba una ira de signos de admiración a quién osaba alborotarle las plumas del temperamento, y se burlaba de los demás con una risa ñata. En él me vi reflejada.

Fui a Starlight Tattoo, donde el talentoso Emy se armó de paciencia ante mis gritos, silenciados por un palito de paleta de madera que tenía mordido. Claro que ya era muy tarde para pedirle que parara, no me podía quedar con el tatuaje sin terminar y tratando de explicar durante toda una vida que esa raya permanente tenía gran significado.

Misión cumplida, meta lograda. La ubicación: en la espalda del lado derecho de la cintura justo arriba del derriere (se entiende eso?). Comentario de mi hermano al verlo: “cuando envejezcas y engordes ese Woodstock se va a convertir en el Pájaro Grande de Plaza Sesamo”. No debería darme risa, pero la imagen me hace carcajar.

Pero mi gran shock fue cuando me informaron que a Woodstock lo habían bautizado en español con el nombre de.... Emilio. Todavía no sé qué pienso sobre esto.

Moving, just keep moving,
'Till I don't know what's sane,
I've been moving so long,
The days all feel the same

Moving, just keep moving,
Well I don't know why to stay,
No ties to bind me,
No reasons to remain

Got a low, low feeling around me,
And a stone cold feeling inside,
And I just can't stop messing my mind up,
Or wasting my time

There's a mow, low feeling around me,
And a stone cold feeling inside,
I've got to find somebody to help me,
I'll keep you in mind

So I'll keep moving, just keep moving,
Well I don't know who I am,
No need to follow,
There's no way back again

Moving, keep on moving,
Where I feel I'm home again,
And when it's over,
I'll see you again

Got a low, low feeling around me,
And a stone cold feeling inside,
And I just can't stop messing my mind up,
Or wasting my time

There's a low, low feeling around me,
And a stone cold feeling inside,
I've got to find somebody to help me,
I'll keep you in mind.

Idealist

2005-07-22T15:14:00.000-07:00

Your answers suggest you are an Idealist

The four aspects that make up this personality type are:

Summary of Idealists

Make sense of the world using inner values
Focus on personal growth and the growth of others
Think of themselves as bright, forgiving and curious
May sometimes appear stubborn

More about Idealists

Idealists put time and energy into developing personal values that they use as a guide through life. They may seek fulfilment by helping others improve themselves and often want to make the world a better place. Idealists only share their inner values with people they respect.

Idealists enjoy discussions about a wide range of topics, particularly those that deal with the future. They are typically easy-going and flexible, but if their values are challenged they may refuse to compromise.

In situations where they can’t use their talents or are unappreciated, Idealists may have trouble expressing themselves and withdraw. Under extreme stress, Idealists may become very critical of others, or lose confidence in their own ability to cope.

Recognition for their work is important to Idealists; however, they are also good at spotting false praise.

Idealist Careers

Idealists are often drawn to jobs where they can help people reach their potential. They are also attracted to careers that allow artistic creativity.

Emotional Design

2005-06-30T12:41:00.000-07:00

Emotional Design is both the title of a book by Donald Norman and of the concept it represents. The main issues is that emotions have a crucial role in the human ability to understand the world, and how they learn new things. Pretty objects, seem to not only look better but also work better: whenever someones uses something he considers nice to look at or touch, he will be able to better understand it, will accept more from its errors, and will thus use it with more ease. - Wikipedia

"Perfect Sonnet" - Bright Eyes (lovely song)

2005-05-07T09:07:00.000-07:00

Lately I've been wishing I had one desire

Something that would make me never want another

Something that would make it so that nothing mattered

All would be clear then

But I guess I'll have to settle for a few brief moments
And watch it

all

dissolve into

a single second

And try to write it down into a perfect sonnet
___________________ or one foolish line

'Cause that's all that you'll get

so you'll have to accept
You are here

then you're gone

But I believe that lovers should be _tied_ together and
Thrown into the ocean -------- in the worst of weather
and --------------- left there to drown
----------------- Left there to drown in their innocence

But as for me I'm coming to the final chapter

I read all of the pages and there is still no answer

Only all that was before I know must soon come after

That is the only way it can be

So I stand in the sun
And I breathe with my lungs
Trying to spare

me the weight

of the truth

Saying everything you've ever seen ------------ was just a mirror
And you've spent your whole life ----- sweating ----- in an endless fever
And now you are laying in a bathtub full of freezing water

Wishing you were a ghost

But once you knew a girl and you named her

Lover

And danced with her in kitchens through the greenest summer

But autumn came, She

disappeared

You can't remember
-------- where she said she was going to

But you know that she's

----------- gone -----------

'cause she left you a song

That you don't want to sing

We're singing ---------------- I believe that lovers should be >chained<>

And thrown into a fire with their songs and letters

And left there to burn
------------ Left there to burn in their arrogance

But as for me I'm coming to my final failure

I've killed myself with changes trying to make things better

But I ended up becoming something other than what I had planned to be

Now I believe that lovers should be draped in flowers

And layed entwined together on a bed of clover

And left there to sleep

Left there to dream
of their

happiness

Let me tell you about my life....

Well it won't, and it won't because it can't. It just can't. It's not supposed to, and I will wait to find if this will last forever, and I will wait to find that it won't, and I will pay no mind worried about rainy weather, and I will waste no time remaining in our lives together."

"Something's missing, and I don't know how to fix it. Something's missing, and I don't know what it is. When Autumn comes, it doesn't ask, it just walks in where it left you last. You never know when it starts, until there's fog inside the glass, around your summer heart."

"'All you need is love' is a lie, because we had a love, but we still said goodbye. Now we’re tired, battered fighters, and it stings when it nobody’s fault, because there's nothing to blame at the drop of a name. It’s only the air you took, and the breath you left."

"I called because I just need to feel you on the line. Don’t hang up this time, and I know it was me who called it over, but I still wish you'd fought me until your dying day. Don’t let me get away, because I can’t wait to figure out what’s wrong with me, so I can say 'this is the way that I used to be'. There’s no substitute for time." ----J.M.----

Y'know, they're totally irrational and crazy and absurd and, but, uh, I guess we keep going through it because, uh, most of us need the eggs.' - Woody Allen

Hoy, eclipse híbrido de Sol

2005-04-08T13:41:00.000-07:00

(tomado del Diario Libre)

Esta tarde, a partir de las 5:18, ocurrirá un rarísimo eclipse híbrido de Sol, con la característica de anular-total-anular. Podrá apreciarse en todo el país (si las condiciones climáticas lo permiten) como un eclipse parcial, con una ocultación del disco solar que va de un 65 a un 70 por ciento. Su punto máximo será a las 6:21, culminando 34 minutos después.

La sombra de la Luna recorrerá una extensa franja a lo largo del Hemisferio Sur, iniciándose como un eclipse anular desde el sureste de Nueva Zelanda, atravesando el Océano Pacífico como eclipse total e internándose finalmente en Panamá, Colombia y Venezuela, nueva vez como anular.

Los eclipses híbridos se deben a que la curvatura de la superficie de la Tierra, principalmente, hace que el disco lunar no coincida con el solar en ciertas latitudes, en tanto que en otras sí.

El último de este tipo de eclipses ocurrió el 29 de marzo de 1987. No será sino hasta el 3 de noviembre de 2013 cuando otro eclipse híbrido se produzca, el cual será también visible para nuestro país pero al amanecer.

Esta película suena interesante, en cuanto la encuentre la veo...

Plot: Amanda, a divorced photographer, finds herself in a fantastic Alice-in-Wonderland experience when her daily, uninspired life literally begins to unravel, revealing the cellular, molecular and even quantum worlds which lie beneath. Guided by a Greek Chorus of leading scientists and mystics, she finds that if reality itself is not questionable, her notion of it certainly is. Stunning special effects plunge you into a world where quantum uncertainty is demonstrated - where Amanda's neurological processes, and perceptual shifts are engaged and lived - where everything is alive, and reality is changed by every thought. This film gives voice to the modern day radical souls of science, making them the true heroes of our day as they conquer and map the greatest uncharted territory yet - man's consciousness itself.

Work Begins on 'The Gates' Installation
"The Gates, Central Park, New York, 1979-2005," a temporary work, opens Saturday and will consist of 7,500, 16-foot-high gates along 23 miles of footpaths. Free-hanging, saffron-colored fabric panels will be unfurled from each gate and dangle 7 feet above ground. The 16-day installation will be in place until Feb. 27.
..........
Christo and Jeanne-Claude visited the site briefly and greeted schoolchildren who were looking at some of the poles. "It's about art. It's about beauty and joy," Jeanne-Claude told the youngsters.

The artists' Web site says the work "will create a visual golden river appearing and disappearing through the bare branches of the trees, highlighting the shapes of the footpaths. The luminous moving fabric will underline the organic and serpentine design of the walkways, while the rectangular poles will be a reminder of the grid pattern of the City blocks around the park."

The neverending search of the self

2005-02-01T07:29:00.000-08:00

It never ends because we are forever changing.
Most are defined by likes and dislikes. But the things that moved us yesterday might not even produce a flutter of a wink in time. People change, dreams change, goals change (if you even know what your goal is to begin with).
Just when you’re comfortable and knowledgeable in the person you’ve become, along comes change and throws you completely off balance.
You cease to recognize yourself. And a whole new phase of rediscovery begins with questions like “well, who am I? what do I want? what moves me?” etc, etc, etc.
Some get worried about this sudden loss of identity.
Others welcome it as an opportunity to mold themselves into a person they can say “THIS is me” with a smile.
In the end, it’s all about adaptation.

Elite Designers against IKEA???

2005-01-05T10:49:00.000-08:00

"We are the Elite Designers. We design profound and beautiful furniture for those with wealth and taste. Which is why IKEA makes us furious livid and angry. Do their designs live, breathe and growl? Are they born from tears of pain? Do they gently touch the bottom of the human soul? Pah! Of course not, no more than weeds can attract a bee. The big blue place is odious, its affordable design is sickeningly shallow and we loathe it even more than we loathe football. Please join us in our unqualified hatred."

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA

I give you Van Den Puup:

Thought of the day (not a product of my own brain, but makes me think nonetheless)

Getting from one place to another quickly does not add time to our lives. What is important is being truly present wherever we are.

Who'da thought:
Fanny Brice: You could get lonesome being that free.
Nick Arnstein: You could get lonesome being that busy.
Fanny Brice: Now who'd think to look at you and me and see we got the same problem!

Lunes...
Después de un día de actividades (diligencias que quedaban por hacer, reorganizar mi habitación) y mi primera sesión de "Pilates", mi cuerpo y mente necesitaban un break... una sobredosis de comedia was just the ticket:

Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle
y
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy
(la pelea entre los "News Teams" todavía me hacer reír)

Estoy ahora mismo en averiguar qué es lo que me apasiona en la vida, que sería una meta para mi.... tratando de descrifrarme y ver qué quiero y qué voy a hacer en la vida..... de esas crisis existenciales que le entran a uno, la misma que tenía para mi cumpleaños (pero... de ahí empezaron unos tiempos entremezclados entre despreocupaciones, sobresaturaciones mentales, momentos bonitos, cambios hormonales, y una serie de cosas por las cuales todavía no tengo explicación válida).
Creo que por eso ahora me voy a poner las pilas para hacer más cosas.
Las cosas que me gustan verdaderamente, que había ignorado durante un tiempo por falta de un no se qué en mi interior (motivación, inspiración, energía, o deseo), cómo dibujar, escribir, aprender cosas (como idiomas), enriquecer el conocimiento de mi carrera, ser más creativa, más activa, etc...

Así que,.... básicamente,.... mis metas del año son:
- Decidir de una vez por todas que es lo que quiero hacer con mi vida y hacerlo, y "dónde"
- Aprender otro idioma (sí, un año tal vez no sea suficiente tiempo, pero por lo menos empezar)
- Volver a continuar escribiendo "my book"
- Volver a dibujar
- Desarrollar más mi conocimiento fotográfico
- Aprender a bailar "swing"
- Aprender a tocar la guitarra
- Viajar, viajar, y viajar
- Empezar una rutina de ejercicio, y/o empezar a tomar clases de un arte marcial (kickboxing days are now too far gone)
- Dejarme de haraganerías y comodidades
- Trazar planes y metas, y llevarlos a cabo
- Vencer miedos
- Aprender a cocinar
- Actualizar más "The Blog"

Bue.... suficiente melodrama... a bonchear también

Happy New Year!

We're off to see the Wizard, the Wonderful Wizard of OS!

En la foto: Yosara, Jean, Patricia, Osmany, yo.
Robert andaba por ahí, metido en algún lugar de Casa de Teatro. La foto la tiró Adolfo con la cámara de The Os Man.

Qué bueno ver a Osmany después de tanto tiempo, noche supercool.

Disturbing? Perhaps.... Funny? Definitely!

"Co-lin"? What does that name mean "Co-lin"?

A ver si me pongo las pilas....

Ha pasado bastante tiempo desde mi último “blog post”. Podría citar muchas excusas (cambio de trabajo, mente en blanco, internet shopping, enanos intrusos) para explicar esta ausencia virtual, pero, al final del día, la única verdad es…. “haraganería”.

Eso, combinado con el delirio del cambio. Dulce cambio. Aquella bestia que provocaba tanto miedo en mí se ha convertido en mi mayor aliado.

Pero tampoco vamos a entrar en cursilerías, que “eto e pa diversión”.

Así que, without further ado, let the blog-postings begin! (….again)

They say that dreams are real only as long as they last. Couldn't you say the same thing about life?

Que "crisis existencial" ni que ochocuarto?!

Me capturaron infraganti en esta foto durante las festividades de este fin de semana (por causa de mi cumpleaños):

These days

2004-08-14T11:05:00.000-07:00

Estos días previos a mi cumpleaños, me veo sumergida en un mar de preguntas: “qué hago con mi vida? qué quiero hacer con mi vida? oasis o blur? cappuccino o frappuccino?”.

Esta crisis existencial solo puede deberse a mi inminente aniversario de plata... así es, 25 añitos. Un cuarto de siglo. *Respiración profunda* Como dirían unos graciosos amigos míos: “ooohhh, qué horror!”

Sí, sí, tal vez estoy siendo un poco dramática. Pero que aburrida sería la vida sin su pizca de drama... sin ella las bromas serían la norma sin sabor que no lograrían producir siquiera una risita al estilo del muñeco “Pillsbury”...... ya saben, ese muñequito que vende pan y que al pincharle esa masita de barriga salta con un: “hiii hiii!”.

Con tantas cosas corriendo maratones por mi mente, recurriré al gran clásico
“These Days” de Nico.

I've been out walking
I don't do too much talking
These days, these days.
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
And all the times I had the chance to.

I've stopped my rambling,
I don't do too much gambling
These days, these days.
These days I seem to think about
How all the changes came about my ways
And I wonder if I'll see another highway.

I had a lover,
I don't think I'll risk another
These days, these days.
And if I seem to be afraid
To live the life that I have made in song
It's just that I've been losing so long.
La la la la la, la la.

I've stopped my dreaming,
I won't do too much scheming
These days, these days.
These days I sit on corner stones
And count the time a quarter turns to ten.
Please don't confront me with my failures,
I have not forgotten them.

Leones, tigres y osos?!

Debido a la sugerencia y profunda sabiduría del gran Osmany (The Ozman, a.k.a. The Great Wizard of Oz) he decidido sacar aquello que suena como un gas del fantasma Slimmer de los Cazafantasmas -- blog.

Por este medio descargaré los mensajes que entorpecen el desktop de mi mente (siempre y cuando no esté perezosa).
