First of all, it seems that I was so excited about "the movie" that I forgot to mention it's name!!!... so, there you go: the movie is "chasing amy"... great movie... he he he... now go get it. :-)
And talking about guacamole, yesterday something very cool happened to me. Do you recall that I was supposed to give a speech in the TEC's highschool?... well... I don't even know if I had written about it, and how odd it seemed to me... but anyway, that event took place yesterday.
I wrote something as a guide, and the people that put together the event really really liked it... one woman even said: "Hector, if you say it like that, and the guys get it, I would love it if you become a teacher in our highschool"... tra la ra!... needless to say I was very, VERY nervous... and the feeling grew a little when the whole thing started and I was invited to "sit in from", it that "table for the big guys", right next to the Principal, between some teachers and all... it was odd aswell to stand up a little and be "clapped" as my name was mentioned... he he he.
Anyway, the big thing happened when a guy read something like a "mini-bio" of mine, invited me up there, and I gave my speech... at first I was nervous, I must admit it... but after a while I saw that the guys were actually paying attention, so I kind of loosened up, and then magic happened. The crowd was interested, they were amused, and they even laughed at my "semi-jokes"... at the end there was an honest applause, and once the event was finished I was greeted not only by the teachers and staff, but by a few courageous students that just wanted to say hi in person... he he he... they said that my speech had moved them, that they really liked the message and all sorts of things... asking me questions and all... what was fun is that they couldnt' stop calling be as "usted"... which is waaaay to weird for me....
The speech was pretty much about passion in life, doing what you want, pursuing your dream, and silly things like that... but I think I managed to put it together in such a way that a senior highschool student could relate... and it worked!!... he he he... yay!....
So, back to inking and getting work done!... cheers people, life is good...
ps. soundtrack: "son de amoreeees".... (why?... why?!?!?!)

If you can't live with someone's past
If you can live with someone's past, then, my friend, that means you cannot live with your own. And if you are able to mess up something great, just because of something that "happened" in a time in which you were not even around, then my friend... you are the one with issues. And to be honest, I am talking about my self, about a mistake that I know I once made, how it messed my self and someone else up, and how childlish it all was...
Of course I see it that way now... and part of the whole idea is to not dwell on it, just to learn... which is something that I've done. But I just kind of "relived" it a little because of this movie I saw, and part of being authentic is being true to my feelings... and that my friends is how I feel... stupid and kind of angry with my self... good news is: it'll pass... as for now: fuck it!.
I don't wanna comment a lot on the movie, because it's worth watching and anything I could say would be a spoiler... of course the movie isn't new at all... but still. Some people are watching it for the first time even nowadays, take for example: me.
I wanted to see the movie because it's setup in the "comic book biz world"... which I thought was way cool... and the opening scene deals with an "inker" and the issues that come along the status, which was way appealing since I am starting to consider my self an inker now, and pretty much loving it. About that, the movie did fullfilled my expectations, I good to see a studio, the way those guys live, a little of that "world"... whatever... I loved it, and it reinforced the idea of me being a part of that, and me living in a cool studio working with my partners creating great stories.
The other thing though, the subject matter of the movie, is what moved me... and please do not get me wrong, I've never dated someone who was as "experienced" as Alyssa in this movie... but still I've gotten to feel something somewhat close to how Holden felt about her past, and how it kept haunting his mind and affecting everything else. It's messed up I'm telling you... But the dialogue of "silent bob" at the restaurant... man... the guys says little, yet every word is worth it...
We all [guys] want to feel the "one and only" in our girls life... and the thought of her past is something that haunts us... it happens, don't deny it. Still it's something we really don't want to know, but for some reason we have to... and when it comes... oh man, you better be prepared to deal with it.
Now I feel at ease with all that... and despite the fact that the movie "moved" me, I feel that I am "past that" and able to not even care... because in every aspect of my life I am living by the "here and now", and letting the past where it belongs. This 4 agreements book and all, it's all about living life that way...
And so be it... great movie though, it moved me, and I think it would move most guys who've been close to that situation in one way or the other. (I mean, let's not go as far as sex, even kissing a "girl who's kissed a lot" makes you feel insecure and compared at first). The Director of the film gets my respects, for touching such a personal topic in his life, and knowing how much he could impact the lives of tons of guys by letting them see such a mirror.
If you haven't seen it... go see it now please! (like renting, buying or whatever you must do).

My soundtrack...
Have I mentioned before that I have music playing ALL THE TIME in my mind?... even if I am doing something else, even if I am talking with someone... anything, there is always some tune playing, and what is even better is that some of them are made up!... Some are so good that I wish I knew how to play the piano or something to be able to get them out of me... he he he... is that a common thing?... how many of you guys have the same thing going on in their minds?... Even now as I am typing I cannot help to be "listening" to a piece from the "10 things I hate about you" soundtrack. It doesn't mess things up, won't cause me to loose my attention or anything... it just happens... it's odd!.
Anyway, I had a great day today... which is quite something considering that I slept, again, only 3 hours... well... like 3:15... I don't know how I manage to stay this awake, but I know that my body is asking me for some rest... so, in a couple of hours once I get something done, I shall indulge my self with a movie (chasing amy) and some "coach potato" time.
So in the morning I meet Ana Lorena and had a great talk with her, which lasted for about 3 hours, and to be honest, I was amazed at the girl. She is soooo interesting, made me feel good to see that there are "others like me" in the female-variety... Just a nice talk, but to be honest, I had a good time while it lasted. Then, afterwards I went over to the bank and as I got my ticket and thought "damned" (because my number was like 197 and they were in 180), a friend of mine approaches and sais "hey hector, get my ticket, give me yours... now I am dealing with some stuff with the manager"... and there I was, it was 184!!.... he he he... yay!...
Then in the TEC I had a pretty cool day working with the clients from the "year book", had good laughs with them. And afterwards, since they were all girls, everybody from the CITE was making fun of me!... ha ha ha... for quite a while!... Specially Pau!... he he he... that girl is fun. So then the girls came back to make some adjustments, and there you can imagine the "smiles", the laugther and all the "carrilla" from them guys...
Pretty much, just to avoid all the details, I had a day full of smiles, laughs, great talks, work, and pretty much all I can ask for... and I feel great despite the fact that I have slept about 7 hours in the past 72... I know that my place is with people, I can't wait to get a laptop and be able to go work in different places, have talks, and have a "people enviroment"... freelancing at home is kind of cool, but it gets lonelly and I just am a social guy... he he he. That's why I think that my place in the comics world will be as a manager, a PR guy, or an editor... always creative, but making things happen among teams is my thing to do...
Now to get some things done... and then... a movie!... yay!...
**Cheers!
ps... the st is still that one song from "10 things I hate about you"... it goes like "I loooove you baaaaabyyy"... he he he... and it's just happy... maybe that's why I've got it.

Sleeping issues...
I do need to fix my schedule, this whole "freelancing / bunch to do" kind of life is messing up my mind and body, I do work better during the night, yet people live during the day... and so that I can do stuff with people, and work, I have been sleeping about 4-5 hours average for quite a while... it's starting to not work.
And damn, I hate to be always "on the run", I can't wait till the moment in which I can only devote my self to drawing, inking and coloring, not having to deal with other stuff to make some cash... hopefully that will happen soon... kind of like in the summer the latest... he he he. (If we do good in the Comic Con this summer, then it will be so!).
Last night at about 5 am (or was it early today?), flash decided to all of a sudden stop working!... I spent a couple more hours trying to figure out MY mistake, only to realize that it was flash who all of a sudden decided to die on me... great, it's not my mistake!... but still, I have no finished work, and it was supposed to be done today... ohhh yikes... dealing with clients is allways fun!...
Anyway, now I am working at the TEC and hopefully I will make this work in some computer around here... (i'm keeping my fingers crossed... and typing!... that's weird).
So cheers... got to keep on moving!... :-D

New link
There is a new link added on that bar in the left... CYS (Count Your Sheep) is probably the best e-comic I've bumped into in quite a while... if not ever. I've read a lot of "geeky" fun comics, stuff I like, but this one has a deeper sense, and very very good dialogues... you have to check it out. It's starts here, and READ THEM ALL... believe you me, the art becomes better everytime, and you will just fall in love with the characters.
**cheers.
ps. victor, my brother, was the one to introduce me to the comic... there, credit given... ok victor?... he he he.

The 4 agreements...
Not to be compared with the 4 noble truths...
The 4 agreements from the Toltec wisdom, are the basis for white magic, for owning your life and being 100% in control of it, and it's all in the mind and the way you relate your self to the world and, well, your self. The theory behind it all is very interesting, and the this book by Dr. Miguel Ruiz is a must read... not only by all those out there interested in mysticism and stuff of the sort, but by anyone who thinks their life could be somewhat better.
It's not about prayers or chanting, or anything like that... and when the author says "white magic" he doesn't mean Gandalf wearing white clothes... he means being in control, and using love as the tool to control your life, and how once you align your self to this 4 agreements, life starts to smile at you in every possible way since you are so aligned to it...
The 4 agreements are:
- Be impeccable with your words.
That talks about the power of the word, and how the way your
describe yourself and those around you IS the way your reality happens.
- Do not take anything personally.
- Do not make assumptions.
- Do always the best that you can do.
I am still reading the book, but finding it very very interesting... and what is even more interesting is that this "mexworks" course that I took is pretty much based in all those premises, and the dynamics and everything are meant to make you fully understand them, and make you live by those...
It's a good book, easily found, go check it out.

tra la ra...
Another one of my fishes is struggling to "not float"... he has to swim hard the way down to avoid going floating all the way up... oh man... am I getting a divine sign here?...
He he he...
He he he...
Requiem for a dog...
Charlie, after all, did die yesterday... he was about 10+ years old, and a fine dog. But he was going through terrible suffering... his heart was 3 times the size it's meant to be... damn... Apparently boxers have problems with the heart once they get old, and although it wasn't apparent, charlie was kind of a boxer too... got to get the bad genes huh?...
My brother victor was devastated, so was my dad... they were death as he was put to sleep... poor charlie... victor cried a lot... charlie nicely fell asleep... went to that long eternal dream. All the while I was working, doing comics stuff, meeting a great guy who happens to be very good at drawing... and so it happened that I was away while charlie departed... my pain was lessened by all the work and good vibes I was getting from this guys, but there was pain nonetheless...
Fishes are now the only none-human living things at home... at least the only ones invited, because we tend to get the ocassional spider, and critters like that. I guess I will change their water, tend to them... anything to keep them alive please!!!...
On the other hand last night I had a blast... eventhough the night before I only slept for about 2 hours, I managed to be completelly awake, and I had a very fun time with Pancho, Blanco, Ireri, Ile and Victor... we did all sort of crazy stuff by chapultepec, several "leadership dynamics" turned into a lot of fun... he he he... things like one of us jumping from a step, us all catching him and them making him fly up the air and catch him over and over... he he he... at one point we ran out of those and went over by ireri's house, stayed by the fountain and took a buch of silly pictures with Pancho, Ile and Ireri... it had been a while since I felt like that... it was fun, just plain fun.
Now I have a bunch of things to do, so I might as well get them done... other wise the next few days will be quite a nightmare...
**Cheers!!!...
ps... eve lent me a couple of his "human torch" issues, drawn by Skottie Young... dude... he is my new idol...
and gabo is on town!... yay!!...

What's wrong with my pets?
Charlie is a crossed breed, he's something between a boxer and a great dane, used to be a huge dog, terribly strong, and pretty much seemed like scooby... now he's lying in the vet's floor, without the strength to even get up and greet us as victor and I departed. His heart is not working fine, his body is filled with water in places where there is supposed to be none of it, and his splin is like 4 times the size it's meant to be. He's about 10 years old, in dog years that's a lot... 70 according to some, or 77... (some people say the 1st year is equal to 14 years)
Anyway... it sucks... maybe he will end up dying soon... maybe we will put him to "sleep"... that long last dream... where do dogs go after they die?. I am sure mine was a great one, I never treated him as I should have, never gave him the time... I was always too busy doing something else... and now... man... I feel terrible...
10 years... he's been a part of ourlives for that long, and we never really gave him the love that he deserved... always living in the shadow of Momo's memory, we were all too busy for him, too grown up. Momo was with us as victor and I grew, he was our "play-mate", but charly?... he came along around that age in which dogs aren't that cool anymore, and some other matters become more important. I always wanted to have a good relationship with him, a good time... but damn... I waited... and here I am.
My parents for some odd reason never got to want him inside the house, so he was always a "yard dog"... something that I hate... he loved us, all the time he loved us, and cherished the little attention we managed to give him every now and then. I wonder what kind of life he lived... he was never deprived of "anything" but attention...
I feel terrible... no matter what happens to him, I won't let that happen again to a dog of mine... if I am to have one it's because I am going to walk him, play with him and all...
Let's hope he gets better... or that, at least, he doesn't suffer that much... (man, my heart was broken as I saw how hard it was for him to get up... to walk down the stairs...)...
** cheers charlie... you've always been a good lad.

Here be dragons...
Here I shall introduce thee to one of mine masters and role models: Skottie Young, author of imagery such as this.
Man, I so like that style... I will try and become great at something close to that.

Computer... argh!... :@
I remember this one time in which I saw a t-shit that said "NO I WILL NOT FIX YOUR COMPUTER"... it was plain black with white letters, and I couldn't stop laughing... you see, people tend to think that since I am a computer science guy I should know how to fix them... right?!?!... Well I don't!!!!!... TECH SUPPORT and all it's nuisances is like a whole new guacamole!!!... I know how to do stuff, like web-sites, server management, to admin a data base, programming, a bunch of "techie" stuff... but I've never been the guy to get the wires out of the PC's and fool around with them...
Still I manage to get a "why did we payed so much in your college?" look from my parents every time their computer gets completelly messed up, and I cannot really do anything to fix it... argh!... screw it.
That just happened by the way... yet again... and I lost 3 precious hours trying to make that hard drive work... of course I couldn't, now I am 3 hours short, and with a terrible "techie"-self-esteem.... oh well...
Life goes on huh?...
cheers...
ps... the preacher rocks... very interesting comic... it's not better than sandman or 100 bullets, but close... the dialogues are complicated sometimes, which turns the comic into a "harder" reading... that is, by no means, a bad thing... but I am used to a comic that flows a little faster. Still great, let's see how it turns.

Am I getting that old?
I remember back in the days when I used to watch those TV shows with the "cool" grown up guys and all, and wondering what it was going to be like once I got that old... the dating games and all, those flashing guys and girls, they were so cool, I couln't wait to be of that age...
But now... something veeeery weird happened!... you know, I decided to give my mind a little rest, and what can be better to do that than to watch a silly dating show... so I started watching Dismissed, which is, believe you me, a very dumb show. Anyway, so I was watching this show, looking and the guys and girls and still thinking of them as if they were those "older cool guys"... but all of a sudden they said how old they were and DAMN!!!... one of the girls was 21, the other 19, and the guy was 20... WHAT?!?!?!...
I MEAN... what?!?!?!?!
Jezz.... damn... wow I felt all of a sudden old and left out, like those "cool guys" were the old ones as I grew up, but all of a sudden they became the younger ones, and I just don't know where I was in the middle...
On the other hand it was fun to see, today, that if you type "mexworks" on google my blog is posted on the first page, the last link... he he he... funny how the webcrawlers work. So how was my 2nd take on mexworks?... it was great... it was f&/%ng great... I came out of the "intro" feeling very emotional, very happy with my life, very at ease... now I came out of the EIP feeling terribly wonderful, powerful, I realized all that I have inside my self, all that I can give, for the 1st time I can actually believe that those around me when they see that I can do a lot... I just never thought I was good enoug, stuff like that... I was like I came out from the intro feeling good about my self, but now I feel great about my self, and with the entire power and responsibility to share my love!!!... he he he... I know it sounds corny.
Ok... enough, back to inking... this week I have to get two pages done!... he he he
cheers... :P

Imo the monkey
There is a pretty interesting documented case about this thing called "critical mass"... the theory, pretty much, takes it's basis on the fact that once a certain average of the population is aligned to one idea, then the entire population embraces is... it's related to the "collective subconcious" and all those ideas.
The story is pretty much this one:
The 100th Monkey
A story about social change.
By Ken Keyes Jr.
The Japanese monkey, Macaca Fuscata, had been observed in the wild for a period of over 30 years.
In 1952, on the island of Koshima, scientists were providing monkeys with sweet potatoes dropped in the sand. The monkey liked the taste of the raw sweet potatoes, but they found the dirt unpleasant.
An 18-month-old female named Imo found she could solve the problem by washing the potatoes in a nearby stream. She taught this trick to her mother. Her playmates also learned this new way and they taught their mothers too.
This cultural innovation was gradually picked up by various monkeys before the eyes of the scientists. Between 1952 and 1958 all the young monkeys learned to wash the sandy sweet potatoes to make them more palatable. Only the adults who imitated their children learned this social improvement. Other adults kept eating the dirty sweet potatoes.
Then something startling took place. In the autumn of 1958, a certain number of Koshima monkeys were washing sweet potatoes -- the exact number is not known. Let us suppose that when the sun rose one morning there were 99 monkeys on Koshima Island who had learned to wash their sweet potatoes. Let's further suppose that later that morning, the hundredth monkey learned to wash potatoes.
THEN IT HAPPENED!
By that evening almost everyone in the tribe was washing sweet potatoes before eating them. The added energy of this hundredth monkey somehow created an ideological breakthrough!
But notice: A most surprising thing observed by these scientists was that the habit of washing sweet potatoes then jumped over the sea...Colonies of monkeys on other islands and the mainland troop of monkeys at Takasakiyama began washing their sweet potatoes.
Thus, when a certain critical number achieves an awareness, this new awareness may be communicated from mind to mind.
Although the exact number may vary, this Hundredth Monkey Phenomenon means that when only a limited number of people know of a new way, it may remain the conscious property of these people.
But there is a point at which if only one more person tunes-in to a new awareness, a field is strengthened so that this awareness is picked up by almost everyone!
From the book "The Hundredth Monkey" by Ken Keyes, Jr.
The book is not copyrighted and the material may be reproduced in whole or in part.
There is more about it on this site.
Anyway, the story is somewhat interesting, but what is even more appealing is the idea of how we can translate it to our lives... to humanity... how many of us are actually aligned to violence?, how many of us think war is honorable?, that you have to fight to survive?... and what would happen then if, for some reason, a good enough percentage of us all start thinking otherwise and aligning our selves to a peace set of mind... one in which in order to have peace no violence is necesary...
When I think about it, I see that most movies, magazines, even comics, talk about violence as "the only way" and how heroic it is to die in battle, and this or that crap. I wonder when we started losing our sense of what really matters... when we started having mistrust from each other, and when we became such an afraid society...
What if all of a sudden you start trusting in everyone, but for real!... what if we all align to a set of mind in which all the energy that is used on being afraid and protecting ourselves, is all of a sudden invested in supporting others, in trusting, smiling and loving?
I don't think it's that unreal... but for all I care, I am going to be one of those... to stand in the current, and to think about life that way... who knows, maybe little by little others will align themselves, to a point in which we do become a peaceful society... then we would give them monkeys something interesting to talk about us funny humans.

Welcome Panfila
Today I meet Panfila... wow!!... she is so freaking cool, her line, the way she looks from every angle, how smooth it is in every single sense... just perfect beauty... God I need to get my self one of those... he he he... so welcome panfila!, and congratulations hector on getting such a cool mac!... :-D
I had a meeting with my client today and it was wonderful, I was worrying way too much with out a real reason, or I think his son (the intermediary) was worrying way too much, because everything I showed him he loved!!!... which is great.
On other news it appears that we've been contacted, because of karaokulta, to do comic books!!... yay!!... we've been noticed, and people seem to like our work... the problem though is the nature of the business, as soon as I can confirm everything I shall write more about it, and how it will go.
Ahhh... I feel great... just fine... but my body is starting to "not like" me going to bed after 4:00 am in the morning for such a long time, and tomorrow I begin the 2nd phase of this course which will be from 12pm to 12am everyday!!... Let's really hope I can make it through... since it's not only the course I am worried about, but all the work that I have to get done.
Anyway, cheers!!... back to life.
ps. Today it was nice to see in the bank that I was indeed drawn to look at a girl's nice top, and how generous was the filling... he he he... I was just worried that after so many hours of looking and looking online for pictures of naked girls (for the plastic surgeon), I was starting to "not want to" look at them anymore... since after several hours of browsing I was just being a robot about it... he he he... it's amusing how everything, even that, can be turned to boredom and monotony with the proper label (work). Anyway, she looked rather nice, and it was obvious that all the guys in the bank had a hard time at focusing on her face... I wonder how she felt about it though... :-S

Great essay
I found this great essay: Is God a Taoist?... I read it before in a book which compiled lot's of essays of the sort, it's cool that I found it online!.. check it out, it's rather interesting.
ps.
If you want to get the plain truth,
Be not concerned with right and wrong.
The conflict between right and wrong
Is the sickness of the mind.

Llamada de atención...
Ayer tuve una buena llamada de atención con respecto al proyecto de comic... ahh... gracias eve!!!... que fácil es perder de vista a esas personas que se están partiendo la espalda por ti, perder de vista el compromiso que hiciste y ponerte a hacer algo más... que chido que se dió la charla que tuvimos ayer... y creo que eso va a hacer que el equipo se ponga la pilas super kñon!!!... me da mucho gusto...
arriba y adelante!.
arriba y adelante!.
Al final de su vida
Al final de mi vida quiero verme “retirado” tranquilamente en un pueblito agusto, tal vez en la playa. Trabajando solo por gusto, ya no por necesidad. Compartiendo esos últimos años con una mujer maravillosa, mi compañera de viaje a lo largo de tantos años, y teniendo una excelente relación con mis hijos.
Voy a ser el “abuelo buena onda”, siempre les voy a contar cuentos e historias padres a mis nietos, y llevarme muy bien con mis nueras. Quiero entonces seguir siendo buen amigo de mi hermano, y recordar a mis padres como las grandes personas que son, sabiendo que siguen ahí para mí, que los he hecho orgullosos, y que nunca me quedé con ganas de decirles que los quería o de darles un abrazo.
Con mis amigos seguiré compartiendo grandes charlas de café en las cuales vamos a dejar claro todo lo necesario para salvar al mundo, la verdad de la vida y todo lo que viene después. Muy probablemente contando viejas historias de grandes viajes y grandes logros, de esas historias que todos ya han escuchado varias veces, pero siempre son nuevas cuando se vuelven a contar.
Quiero morir tranquilo y feliz, sin pendientes, lleno de amor y rodeado de él... quedarme dormido derrepente viendo un atardecer, simplemente no despertar y quedarme en ese sueño eterno viviendo una nueva aventura. Al irme, los que se queden, quiero que me despidan con una sonrisa, y me recuerden siempre con esa sensación que deja un buen abrazo y el sonido de mis carcajadas.

"Starsky y Hutch"
Yesterday I bought another fish, he's kind of dark brown "copperish"... quite an interesting color to be honest!!... So now we have "Starsky y Hutch", it used to be "belle and sebastian", but now the duo has evolved... he he he.
On the other hand, I had the most messed up night ever in terms of dreams and all!. I have some sort of allergy that keeps my nose stuffed for the better part of the night, magically it starts "working" at almost dawn, and only then I can only rest and sleep... it's quite bothersome... I wonder if there is some sort of polen in a tree nearby that is only released at night.
Anyway, being half asleep half awake has always been the best way to get all kinds of allucinations, and so it happened. I read 3 volumnes (50 some pages each) of a comic called "rapaces", an european comic which is very good, and it's about vampires!!!... then, when I finished reading them I found my self in need in more reading material, so I kept on reading Crimson, which is another comic about vampires... so I can almost swear the "dreams" were all about me being a vampire and all that stuff... but it wasn't that much fun.
Now on to that site I am developing... it's working out just fine, "forced march", he he he... but it will be done in time I am sure. :- )
HUG FOR YOU ALL!!!...

CIUDAD DE DIOS...
What a movie... and to think that it's true, hundreds of people live like that every single day, in a constant battle for survival, forgetting about what makes us human and focusing on what keeps us beast... When will that change?...
Why do we hate each other so much?, why is there so much hatred?. The other day someone said in the news that a country like the USA invests in their weapons and army, in just two weeks, enough money to feed the entire world for over a year... and that is with good nutrition. In just two weeks... what for?!?!?!...
It's just that there is so much fear... we cannot trust each other!... Imagine what it woul be like if all of a sudden, one day, the US announces that they have destroyed all of their weapons and "closed" the army and all the military budget is going to be invested in aiding others. WOW!!!... teaching by example?!?!... WOW!!!... but no!, how could they do that?!... they wouldn't be able to "defend" themselves... so much mistrust...
I think we are the only race that is willing to kill just to prove the other wrong... willing to bomb and entire city filled with innocent people just to make a point... what about using all those resources and soldiers to built a better world?!... now that would be something, that would be an army I would love to join.
We just can't see that the energy moves around and flows in the direction that we make it flow, if we have hatred, mistrust, and such, so will others... We have this "if you fuck me I'll fuck you" culture... and even worse, we are more like "just so you don't fuck me I'll fuck you first"... that is BULLSHIT!!... aren't we tired of it all?...
Can't we all see that a hug always returned?... as much as a bullet is?...
Anyway... I could go on and on about this topic... life is very cool... but it would be even better if we all humans realize it for once.
The movie, indeed, was great... awesome editing, great story telling and photography... my greetings to the director and everyone involved... if you get a chance check it out!.

Bright side...
Today I had a meeting with a client, got a check and a good project!!... than can only be great news!. The project is actually challenging, it has to portray beauty, be elegant and simple, but it has a very complex navigation tree... which will be quite fun (and hard). It's for the clinic of a plastic surgeon, apparently one of the best in mexico. cooool!!... As soon as there is something to see I shall post some link.
So now I will have to keep working on that project...
** CHEERS!!!!

Too much spare time?...
Ganaa, a friend of mine from mongolia, sent me over an email with several funny phrases... he he he... aparently they were written by some guy with way too much spare time, or who just rocks at scrabble. Here are some of them:
GEORGE BUSH: When you rearrange the letters: HE BUGS GORE
PRESBYTERIAN: When you rearrange the letters: BEST IN PRAYER
DESPERATION: When you rearrange the letters: A ROPE ENDS IT
THE MORSE CODE: When you rearrange the letters: HERE COME DOTS
MOTHER-IN-LAW: When you rearrange the letters: WOMAN HITLER
A DECIMAL POINT: When you rearrange the letters: I ' M A DOT IN PLACE
ELEVEN PLUS TWO: When you rearrange the letters: TWELVE PLUS ONE
and a very funny one:
PRESIDENT CLINTON OF THE USA: When you rearrange the letters (With no letters left over and using each letter only once):
TO COPULATE HE FINDS INTERNS
GEORGE BUSH: When you rearrange the letters: HE BUGS GORE
PRESBYTERIAN: When you rearrange the letters: BEST IN PRAYER

Let it be....
Artist: Beatles / Album: Let It Be / Song: Let It Be (Lennon, Mccartney)
When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.
And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Yeah
There will be an answer, let it be.
And when the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me,
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be,
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.
When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.
And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Yeah
There will be an answer, let it be.
And when the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me,
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be,
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.
Long time no post...
Or well... it isn't such a long time to be honest, but since I was used to write more than once a day, it feels like I haven't typed anything into this blog in quite a while. First of all... my fish did die... sniff...
You see, I had two gold fish, one of them was white and the other orange... they were "belle and sebastian"... both of them... so now, they aren't belle and sebastian anymore!... I never really knew who was who, they both were "belle and sebastian"... he he he... so now I just have one fish... I will get another one, and probably they will be "hansel and gretel" now... (then we will have bonnie and clyde, and so on and so fort).
Yesterday was the closing of that course I took, WOW... f&/(ing WOW...
Everytime I felt that I couldn't advance anyfurther they managed to dig deeper!!!... they just empower you so much with the whole cool responsability of your life!!... you become the own creator of your reality!!!... you understand a lot of "shit" that has happened but all of a sudden you see it in another way!. Now a lot of the theory I already knew, tons of books talk about the same things. The thing is that I knew it at an intellectual level, but this guys manage to take it down to a viceral level, and emotional level!!!... and then it's when it hits you and your really embrace the ideas...
It's really hard to explain though... I wish I could... but what I can say is that I was able to tell my mom that I loved her for the 1st time in who knows how many years.... and I meant it... and I did it because I wanted it... and like that so many things...
Argh... damn words make no justice to the way I feel, and to how much I think this has helped me...
I just feel very light, in control... serene... clean... happy... I don't think there is anyone who couldn't learn something about themselves in that thing... who couldn't feel empowered by that knowledge...
anyway ... **cheers!!!!...
ps... let it be. (8)

Oh my dear fish!!!!
Yesterday the course was awesome, I really liked the topics that were discussed, and I am being hitten with great realities... still, I am terribly disturbed by the fact that one of my fishes is "acting death"... he doesn't seem to be a great actor because you can tell he's breathing, but yet I am afraid he might, soon enough, get the part right.
I loved in the course the empowerment that they gave me as the primary creator in my life... the way I see and approach reality... everything.... there is so much to say about it... but the sickness of this fish has me worried....
that sucks...
ps. I will be writting more on this thing soon enough... for the time being I will get other things done... like finding out how to save this guy's life!... :-S

Neo Pagan... huh?
 |
Neo Pagan?... I am not even familiar with the concept, and believe you me... I do not practice wicca!!... yet the test was interesting, and probably, in one way or the other, I am aligned to those beliefs with out even knowing.
A friend of mine, Ale, sent me over this interestign link, it kind of shows some affinity with religions and beliefs based on a few basic questions... my restults are very interesting!!!... here are some highlights:
Neo-Pagan (100%)
Mahayana Buddhism (87%)
Taoism (76%)
Reform Judaism (62%)
Sikhism (41%) (whatever that is)
Roman Catholic (10%) (tra la ra)
It is kind of interesting really... the site is full with adds, but don't pay attention to those... just mind your own "spiritual business".
And so was my wednesday
I do have an issue with concentrating, and yesterday was a good example, I spent a full work day at the TEC and wasn't really able to get done what should have taken about 4 hours. While being distracted I implied in sergio's site that I may have ADD (Attention Defficit Disorder), yet Gabo was kind enough to point out that my real issue was a case of AD&D... now that "&" makes a hell of a lot of difference!. he he he. I joked around a lot with Pau and Hector, well... mostly Pau and I joked alot about Hector... he he he... I don't know how amuzed he was, but it was kind of funny to be honest!!
Anyway, I had a meal with Mike and Hector, good talk about universities, studies, goals, and even women... ate a lot though!, and the rest of the afternoon I had to deal with my AD&D and with the terrible sleepiness that the meal caused on me!.
At 5:30 we departed, Hector gave me a lift to were the course was taking place and then it all began!. I saw a bunch of people that I know there, we all joked a little about what was going to happen, and then, at some point, the music started and it all begun!. We came out of the whole thing till after 1am... it was tiresome at some points, but sooooo interesting!.
This course makes a huge deal out of honesty and commitment, not to them, but to yourself, and part of the deal is to promise (your self) that you won't be talking about anything that goes on in there, anything but your own experience. Which means that I can talk about what I learned and all, yet not about anyone else, or something that was said to me by someone. Once you are there it all makes sense. In only a few hours, and with few dynamics, I was hit hard by a couple of stones about some "patterns" that now I see crearly in my life... I can't wait to see what will happen today!... And just by those few hours I was able to think about 4 guys around me that would benefit tremendously from the course, yet it's only starting... I would be able to say more about it as a whole once it is done.
For now I think that I see clearly that my lack of commitment could be well founded in the fact that it is easier to not go through the whole thing, because that way you are not failing... I am always a great promise, but rarely a truly great achievement... hmmm... I hope we get deeper into those things as the course advances... I feel like I will be able to write a decent paragraph about what it meant to me... (which can be completelly different to what it meant to anyone else).
** cheers then
ps... exhibit b) my wacom tablet seems to draw smoother lines in a macintosh, the difference was really huge!. Now I will download in my PC the new drivers, and then make my final judgement on the matter. If, indeed, the mac wins, then it becomes a huge objective in the short run!.
