16 people short will just piss me off

people!. Come on!!!... He he he. Right now just send my freaking link to some people on your contact list or whatever!. O.o

He he he... What the freak is happening to me?. I... Oh well.

I guess getting close to some milestone, as really insignificant as it may be, just makes me anxious about just getting it over with.

Anyway... I like Wend a lot. Heh.

Cheers peoples!. ^_^

All of a sudden

I find my self thinking, a lot, about love. Recent talks and events, things going on in the lives of people around me. Andrea, Coa... Paco, and what Pollo is going through.

About what really matters in here... The things we cling to, how easy they can change, and how much they hurt when they are gone... Still, that doesn't mean we cannot allow ourselves to love. Lot let our heart fly for someone, or some cause. Despite the fact that, at some point we realize it is a fragile dream, clinging to it gives meaning to life...

Letting our hearts grow bitter... Or hard... Although a shield, and a safe heaven, feels like letting go of the one thing that makes it all worth it.

I don't even know what I am saying...

... I will go watch the sunset...

Good vibes to thee all people... Really.

I know the whole

purpose of this blog, is not to be read. Really. It is here pretty much for me, to record good and bad stuff in life, and be able to look back at this whole none sense in a few years, and just laugh at my self. Maybe even let my kids read it or what not, so that they see the dad was actually a human once, and not only a mean guy who won't buy them that cool toy.

Either way, it is nice to feel like some people do read you. In a silly way, it feels good to know there is someone out there, spending time reading about whatever is going on in your life. It feels good to check the list of countries that have visited a few times, and even see some that, honestly, I didn't know existed. (Makes me feel ignorant too, but oh well).

Whatever, the thing is that last month were just a few visits short of having 1000 visitors. Not too much I know, some people get several times that per day!. But this month, we are close to reaching a cool milestone like that, and well. There are only a few hours left on the day. So... Click click click!. Or even on msn tell a couple of friends something like -check this guys blog out!-. Just as a silly personal favor, to let my ego bubble up a bit!... K?.

He he he. If it ends up working out, or not, tomorrow I will let you all know. ^_^

I know, I know. It almost feels weird to be writing such request!.

But... It's nice to allow yourself to get greedy like that sometimes!. :-P

Cheers!.

I was going to

write something long, and meaningful about recent events. He he he. How much fun my day was yesterday with Wend, and how freaking odd was the movie that we went to see. About plans, and how it freaks me out a bit the fact that this Sunday I am going to meet Wend's family!. O.o

But... I was invited, by her, to get some coffee... And you know me. ^_^

It is fun to write about life, but it is even much better, to just live it!.

So, cheers!.

Life is good...

Am I smiling so freaking much...

I like my girl!... ^_^

This is going to be written

just like that. With out checking my notes or anything. Just a quick reference of what went on. Or well... A reference, we will see about quick. So far I have it set on my mind to actually go through the notes, and write about the whole ordeal. But most likely that will become a large PDF file, and most likely too, it will be written in Spanish. Because for that, it just feels right to write it so.

Either way... This is kind of how my missions came to happen...

At first, I honestly didn't want to go. I wanted to go with Daniel to Cuba or some exotic place and have some good times fun. I knew in advance Wend was going to go on missions, and I was already invited. But... It just sounded plain boring. You know what I mean.

Freaking Daniel though, when I told him something like -Dan, we have to do something otherwise Wend will take me on missions!- He was quick to tell me about all this great things about going on one of those. It seems that he was into several and learned a lot, and bla bla bla... I was sold. Mostly because we both think a lot alike, even in terms of religion and all, so his opinion has some weight there.

I gave the idea a chance, and went with Wend to the first meeting. (went with Wend sounds funny by the way... he he he).

I liked it... I gave me good vibes, and the people was cool. Besides, great things were going on in every aspect of my life, and all of a sudden, giving and doing something in return to the world seemed like the thing to do. That is how I ended up in a bus filled with people going to this little region on the north of Jalisco.

The bus ride was nice... He he he. Partly because I slept 80% of it, despite the noise that some guys were making and all. I am a good sleeper like that!. :-P

Once in there, we were greeted by the local Priest, and we went to his place. There we had some good food, and just nice chilling while things were organized. Then a meeting took place, and on it places and teams were assigned, changed and confirmed. Sort of. There is where I found out I wasn't going to go to Mezquitic, which meant I wasn't going to see Wend all through the week. I already talked about how I took those news in my latest post... He he he.

We were here and there around the little town, just being silly and killing some time. Then there was a service, where we were introduced to the community, and when that ended, people were picked up and taken to their towns. Well... Most people... We were just left behind and feeling lonely.

We spent that night there, sleeping in the priest office, and the morning after he took us to Aguamilpa. Our welcome was something like -What are you doing here?, were you not told we wanted you to not come?- O.o

...

It seems the town was in the middle of some issues, families were on each other's bad side and... Well... It felt like a bad time in general. We talked about it a little, and decided to at least try it. The priest came back later with a box full of food, so that we would have something in case they didn't want to feed us and all!. We set things up in the house we were to sleep, and well... Our missions started.

The three of us, Oscar, Luis and I were in a odd mood... I mean... Come on!.

All of a sudden we knew things were going to be much harder than we thought.

That day we walked all through the town, from house to house talking to people and introducing ourselves to them all. Just, small talk... People were actually warm, or at least, they did welcomed us. But most of them talked about how far away from God they were, and how much hatred was going on in the community. Like... They were all nice, but they all talked about how sad it was no one was friends with anyone... O.o

Weird.

That day at night, on the service that we organized, we had 12 people showing up.

The week consisted of such visits every day. Getting to know people more and more each time, about their problems. About how the town used to be much larger and had seen much better days. Yet now it was almost abandoned, with people moving to larger settlements and young guys going to work in the USA. And where once huge trees and harvest used to be, fields were forgotten and not taken care of. Some alcohol problems here and there... A lot of pride around the community, and none of them really were willing to let go and move on to friendship.

On each house there were great stories, and peculiar situations. From Mrs. Evelina, who had to raise 5 kids all by her self, and the proper reasons why. To Martin, a great fellow that was just too depressed, and had spent the last few months just drunk... Because his kids were taken away, almost stolen, when he wasn't even around...

This are people who have really suffered downs in life... People from which you could write a full passionate book about each of their stories... And part of the magic of all this trip, was to get to know those stories. Get them to open their hearts to us.

Kids were great since day one. Specially Angel, or Johnny and some used to call him. The guy had the greatest of attitudes and smiles. Honestly, I almost wanted to adopt him!. Really.

He was our guide, and would take us across the mountain walking for hours under the sun, through bushes and rocks and cliffs, to take us to little houses lost in the middle of nowhere. In those little houses we did bump into some people, but most of them were just forgotten piles of dust.

Another guy that was around a lot, was Felipe... In him I could sense a lot of love, but a lot of anger too... Almost frightening, like he could jump into either side of the force all of a sudden...

Food was great and more than plenty. Nice humble stuff, but so yummy!!!... Those tortillas, oh man!... Those are the best tortillas in the world.

We got to have some good talks with the community. I shared one day with the kids, and another with the grown ups. Talks were focused on love, forgiving and living in community... Just, focused discussions and guided ideas so that they alone got to understand the need to just forget and be willing to smile again at each other.

I realized we were getting some where, when one day, as we came back from a ranch that was a bit far away, we saw a beautiful altar and little room built were we used to give the services. With food, sticks, leaves, flowers and all. Which was built between several of them, and through the day they all kept helping!.

Through the week, Luis, Oscar and I built a pretty good relationship... No one was leader, no one was dragged. We just worked pretty cool like a fine tuned machine, and we had great times helping, being silly and learning about a bunch of stuff. By now, of course, we have a ton of inside jokes and great stories to hold on to in our memory banks.

The last day, on the last service and party, we had over 36 people in there. I know not that many people lived there!. They all shared food, laughs, music and... All of a sudden I could see a glimpse of a nice community living in real harmony. There is still a long way to go... Were were there just long enough to plant a nice little seed. It will be up to them to water it, and take care of it so that it grows.

... After that party... Well... I already wrote how we were greeted good bye... With tears on their eyes, and hugs that didn't want to let us go...

sigh...

The ride back was just quiet... We all were happy, yet sad at the same time... Thoughtful...

Once in there, we started meeting up with all the other missionaries and sharing stories... That was pretty cool. I saw Wend again, which was pretty cool too!... He he he. That night is when we both stayed up until later than 5 am, letting our hearts open and just sharing, while everyone was asleep and the romantic sounds of snores filled the air.

... The morning after, well... We were supposed to leave early, but the bus decided otherwise, and picked us up until later than 11 or so. Thus we got to walk around the town a lot, and we bumped into some people from Aguamilpa. I got to introduce Wend to them!!... He he he. Which they loved because I did talk a lot about her through the week. When we said bye again to them... They couldn't help it and tears flowed a little...

It is amazing how much you can do for someone in a week... How much they can do for you... How much can happen when you let love talk, and really honestly you allow yourself to love without expecting anything in return...

The ride back home was nice, a lot of sharing stories, some sleeping, singing, jokes sharing and you name it...

Once in Guadalajara Wend, Andrea, Oscar and I went to a coffee shop to share some time, and then I just headed back home... Shared with my family...

There, I gave my self the greatest of showers ever!!!... I honestly shower all over twice and all... he he he. Over there we had one little space, with cold water, that had a bunch of wasp flying on it all the time, and the door was a piece of cloth hanging that did move way too much due to the wind. So... A proper shower was missed... ^_^

And so was my bed...

...

This... Well... It does nothing, no justice whatsoever, to how great the experience was, and how many things happened every day. I promise I will write down that journal, and maybe let you people download it or something... We will just see when that gets to happen though.

he he he...

Cheers!!!...

Im in

...

I am going... It's going to happen.

There is no turning back.

YAY!!!!

Still on freaking out mode...

I am like crazy trying to make things happen. I have talked with the guys from Conacyt over 10 times since yesterday, and like 3 times to Edmonton, Canada. Darn... The bill I may have to pay will be quite large... sigh... Phone calls, packages shipping and all those tibits.

Yesterday I was honestly in an angsty messed up mood for a while, but then a nice message from Wend, and a talk with Jorge made it somehow much better. It is always great to see your self mirrored like that with someone, so different, yet at the same time close to you in levels that matter. A fellow dreamer I should say.

Well... I may be like crazy for a while here, not only regarding conacyt and all, but because of missions next week too. This may be my last post for several days people!. So... Come back if you feel like it, other wise just check back like in... Say... 8 days or so.

I am hoping there will be no internet, or actually, no electricity at all, in the town that I am going... I need to get away from all this for a while and just think and focus on something other that my issues.

...

sigh...

Ok ok, back on track!.

Keep sending those good vibes, and cheers to you all!.

The wait...

I don't like it.

I am anxious and all... Just... Waiting for a specific email to show in my inbox. New Mail!... Not that one... ... And now, just no new mail at all. Minutes dragging by way to slowly...

...

...

...

Sideways

is quite a good movie. Took me a while to get in it's mood, and for some time I couldn't figure out whether I liked it or not. At the end though, I can honestly say it was good. Made me empathize a lot with the character, and a lot of mixed feelings that keep going on in there. Maybe that is why I wasn't sure about it... Like, I didn't know if I liked it or not, because of what it was making me feel. Yet, the fact that it was making me feel all that, makes it a great movie and those guys knew what they were doing.

Besides, it made me want to get like crazy drinking some good wine.

He he he he... Go see it.

It was great that we were able to see it, I didn't think we were going to make it, because of traffic and all. We just tried for the heck of it, and it worked out just fine. As well, I was able to get my copy of Don Quijote!. Now I feel more complete and a better person. ^_^

I just had to buy it. It had become a short obsession.

The day ended up quite nice at Wend's. :-)

In general the whole day had a nice feeling to it. Allan visited, good talks with my brother and friends at lunch... Nothing super special, just one of those days in which you go to sleep feeling like it was really worth it. Even the little awkward time, when Wend was a little late and I didn't think we were going to make it, wasn't a big deal...

Just nice.

Anyway... A bunch of stuff to do today!. And, KEEP SENDING THOSE GOOD VIBES!!!...

Thanks!

Life is funny like that

... All of a sudden everything starts to work out, in a way that I almost feel freaked out. Remember how I wrote some days ago that post that said voice for hire?. Well, since then, 3 times I have been asked to do stuff related to that. From radio spots, to the narration of a full promotional short video, etc. I didn't do anything special to make it happen, just... I opened the possibility in my life, and was willing to work on that direction... Makes me think about my talks with Allan about magick.

Yesterday was a good day. I got to do a lot of stuff in the office, and got some good news confirmed regarding my going to Canada. I think it will happen one way, or another. Now let's keep sending those good vibes people!. And remember Wend too!. Ok?. It's a 2 in 1 package. ^_^

There were two pretty cool things yesterday, the recording of voice for that promotional short thingie, they were 3 full pages of script and all that!. (There is just some magick about being in a recording cabin in front of a mic!). And working with Wend until 10 or so, when my brother came back from his class. It was very nice to share that time with her, because here in the office we both were doing our things, in our computers. Respecting each others space and stuff, but being there for the other too. With the occasional smile and kiss...

sigh...

I am having some good times in my life... And honestly, I am starting to believe that this is the way things should be. That this is not some messed up calmed joke, right before the storm, and that I actually deserve it. One of my problems is not feeling worthy of good stuff... But now I see that as just stupid, and feel that you should be grateful of life's gifts, and not question them. I guess reading that Manual del Guerrero de la Luz is paying off.

So, off to a new day!.

Cheers people!.

Need less to say

whatever shady ideas ran my mind through Saturday morning, are long gone... Probably as I did type that little last paragraph I felt good all of a sudden. Besides, weekend was very good.

Saturday I did a lot of stuff related, again, to the financial aid thing for Canada. Working, working, working. But in a nice relaxed environment. I had my self a very good talk with Daniel on msn, and then I went to the TEC to talk with el Doc Soto, and got a letter of recommendation from him, for CONACYT.

After that, I was going to go buy some clothes. I do need some stuff regarding that, but then Wend called me and summoned me to Star Bucks... Which is quite an offer that I couldn't refuse. Besides, when I told her the idea she got excited about it, and now I guess one of this days I shall take her as my fashion consultant to get a couple new thingies.

We were just silly at star bucks for the longest time, waiting for someone to show up so that Wend, Oscar and Andre could work on something, but that someone took forever. Eventually though, she arrived and they did their thing. On the mean time, I read. :-)

Later we went downtown for this short films exhibit. It was a bit blah. But Wend and I got to have a nice time. It got better though, once we went to have dinner by chapultepec on this taco stands. Mmmh mmh... Oh my freaking goodness. That 2nd stand we tried... I loved those vampiros.

Then it was time to head back home. At Wend's I was just plain silly and hyper, so I figure I did a good job in annoying her. Oh well. It was fun!. ^_^ (I guess I just had all this energy and expectations, since my parents were not home and I could have partied like crazy or something).
Sunday?... I can't believe I was able to wake up early enough to get me to the expiatorio by 9:00am. There, all through the day, we had talks and activities regarding missions for next week. Teams were formed, towns were assigned, etc. I guess I am going to a place called Mezquitic, that has only about 50 habitants.

I have to say it... I am excited about it. I almost hope there is no electric light and all. Really!. Am I silly or what?.

Anyway... After the activities, which most of them were pretty fun, we went to the Centro Magno. Had some good food... And by then our bodies started telling us we were tired and wanted to sleep. Heh.

Still, we managed to keep functioning. Eventually I got us close to Wend's house. Had some ice cream with her at DQ and then we went to church. There we saw Marilu, her guy and her mom. Later we bought some stuff, talked with the nice perfumes guy... Etc.

Wend was a little sensible... I... Wouldn't really know how to explain it... I just... Liked being there for her, to hold her... And thankful that she lets me be such a part of her life.

I like feeling that I can be there...

...

Once in her place we just talked for the longest time. And although we did talk all through the day about all sort of things, that once talk got more serious and deep. I like it!. I like it when she challenges my ideas, I challenge hers, we find common grounds and then start talking about whatever else.

^_^

Of course, it was Sunday night... Right before the dreaded Monday morning, so we called it over early, and I came back home with a smile, and the thought of her nice smile, and closed eyes... The image of her happy as I was holding her tight in my arms.

Now... Of not a new week. One in which I have to make CONACYT happen, or find funding one way or another.

Keep sending good vibes regarding that!.

Cheers!.

I just found out

courtesy of Neil Gaiman, that this site exists. Now, you have to go there every day and click. Ok?. Will take you about 5 seconds... Or well, 15 with a slow network. But it will be for a good cause.

Cheers.

Like crazy

is how I have been this past couple of days. This whole CONACYT issue is sure to make my stomach explode (or implode), sometime soon. If everything keeps going wonderfully right, I will make things happen. Honestly, I have every possible motivation and dream to make sure it goes like that. I feel this constant angst in my heart now though... I'd feel so bad if, for funding reason, I cannot make it... Please. Let me be able to make it!.

...

sigh...

Anyway... Today is a day for a pause regarding that. Not meaning that I will stop working on it, but meaning that it goes a bit to a 2nd plane. Today I officially celebrate my first month of relationship with Wend. Yay!!...

Can you believe it?. It went that fast.

And it has been great in every possible way... I could write so much about it, and yet it only takes to read my past posts to see how it has been. I am falling in love nice and easy, deep and hard. I have found in her a wonderful companion... And the thought of sharing this evening with her, and her smile, is just enough to make everything feel just alright.

Most likely, later on, I will write about it all. ^_^

Really, really...
Cheers.

The trick is in making things happen...

Now that I am accepted, I need money. Money is an issue, and so far, no matter how hard I have tried, I have not won the melate or any other sort of lotto. So I am working on getting financial aid one way or another. I am in hurry freaked out mood and all. He he he. Oh well.

On the other hand, my mind is running like crazy in all sorts of directions. This past years I have built very cool friendships with several guys and gals, and walking away from them, all of a sudden feels a bit hard. I know things keep on going with good friends, just like it has been with me and Daniel. But still, things do change.

Change is hard. But it isn't really bad. It is just a part of life, and it is something I have been waiting for.

Of course, there is Wend. And I know I shouldn't worry about it and whatever you may want to say. The fact of the matter is that I am really liking this girl. I am having the time of my life with such a great woman, beautiful not only on appearance, but as well in personality and spirit. And well... There you go with contrasts. That is the way of the Tao, there are blacks and whites. I know too that, whatever happens will be for the best, for us both. And we both are in a stage in which we need to focus on our career goals and all too. Not letting go that easy of our dreams.

Come what may...

See?. I don't even feel comfortable writing about this... I guess this is as much as I will type about the topic in a while. Just focusing on my now, and making it wonderful.

For life, dreams, hopes and nostalgia... I raise my glass and say...

... Cheers!.

Crossing my fingers...

And you all should cross them too. Just to be nice to me and all. Anyway, you see how I did terribly bad at the GRE and I really thought I was going to be rejected in the University?... That application for the University of Alberta that I was making and all?... Interestingly enough... They accepted me.

Again. They accepted me.

I only need to send them one more paper to make it official.

Sigh.

It is kind of late though, and making things happen regarding financial aid is a bit tricky. Etc. So, for all that matters, please!!!!... Please send great vibes to this whole event in my life. If the universe keeps conspiring, I may end up living in Canada this next summer, a step closer to making a pretty nice dream come true.

And well... Although it's not quite sure yet, it may well be that Wend goes there too!!. So... For that please cross your fingers!. All of you, even if you don't know me, or had never read this blog before. If you do it a bit longer, you will realize how much vibes matter to me, and how much I know your good wishes make a difference.

Anyway... Just wanted to share the excitement, happiness and nervousness that I feel right now!!...

^_^

A hug to thee all!... And Cheers!.

The president of Venezuela

is Hugo Chavez. Among with that little fun fact, I learned a couple of others Saturday night while playing characters (personajes). Honest, I liked it much more than I expected!!... He he he. It was indeed a lot of fun. Wend and I played it with Andrea and Oscar, her guy. But hey!. I am already going way ahead... Before that time much more than that happened during the weekend.
It is hard to focus on one thing, either telling the facts, or just rant about feelings and life. I feel compelled to do the 2nd. And I will maybe later on today. For the time being though, I shall just write about my happenings, and not about my thinkings.

Because happenings... Well... There were plenty of those this weekend.

Friday something interesting happened with my brother. We had a little argument that went over board because of misunderstanding from both sides. And to be honest, it hit me way too much. In a way that almost surprised me. I care for the dude, I just sometimes forget. We talked about it though, and later that day I got a text message from him which made me see it was, indeed, all good.

Because of that, when Wend came to visit me in the morning, I was in a very weird mood. And I am afraid I was a bit cold, or just, not caring about her. Which made me feel a bit bad... Later I apologized to her though. She is cool.

Well, the day kept on going quite alright. I was a bit sick, but oh well.

Wend asked me to meet her at 9pm in this mall, which was pretty cool because it gave me the chance to get a much needed hair cut, and get a couple of things done. I did all my this and thats and then I drove over there. Andrea was over there too, and for a moment I was like -err... Should I not be here and give you girls space?- (didn't say it, just thought about it). But we ended up having a lot of fun playing perpetual notion, and just being silly. At around 11 Andrea got back to her place, and that left me and Wend alone. We decided a movie wasn't such a great idea, and just when we were about to go to a coffee place, we were like -we are going to just be there for like 1 hour, and spend money, makes no sense - So we just went to her place.

Something "cool" happened there. And well, I say that with quotes because it wasn't nice what happened, but it was in a way. I mean, I got a nasty migraine messed up pain all of a sudden!!... O.o And I had no pills to fight it... Damn it. I should carry a couple always!. So, it sucked big time that I got that sort of pain then and there. But it was super nice, in a cute way, to see Wend so worried about it, and having her taking care of me. I told her about a couple of spots in the back of the neck for accupressure, etc. One way or the other, we did controlled it, and it was there only for about 30 or 45 minutes... Good!. When I felt good enough I just drove back home... Didn't feel like getting another round while driving!. (Thanks Wend girl for taking care of me like that!).

... Saturday I woke up fashionably late. Yes, I skipped Japanese. Heh. And well, the day before Wend had asked me if we could do a couple of things on Saturday, and honestly, there was no way I was going to say no. So I called her and we started to make things happen. She needed a camera, so I drove to Hector's to borrow his, and then to Wend's place. After that we picked up Andrea, bought some camera goodies, and it was food time!!!... We went to a very cool sushi place. Well, it's like an oriental food place, but we ordered the sushi buffet and it was good. We talked and had good laughs for quite a while. Andrea kept asking the funniest oddest hard to answer questions, so that kept us entertained. Eventually Oscar joined, and then we went to la Paloma for some coffee and game playing time.

That is what I started talking about on this post!. He he he.

We were there for a few hours, good coffee and good times. Being silly is fun.

Jorge, my friend, was celebrating his birthday in La Moresca, a bar across the street from where we were. So at some point we decided it was a nice idea to go. Oscar and Andrea parted their way, and Wend and I walked across the street and meet up with good old Yiorch. We had some good wine, a couple of talks, etc. It was mostly quiet and slow. (I am not going to say boring, that would be rude... heh).

Then we went to Wend's, and the day ended up quite nice. ^_^

It was super weird, but Sunday I woke up like at 9. Always, no matter how early I sleep the night before, if no one wakes me up, I stay in bed for hours and hours. Either way, I was up and running early, and since we had a busy day ahead, I decided to call Wend and wake her up. Funny enough, she was super awake too!. He he he. Yay!.

I picked her up, and well... All through the day we drove around taking pictures. We went to downtown Zapopan, to the market, around my house, to this great canyon where the largest waterfall of the state is, so on and so fort. It was indeed very nice. Just being walking around, talking now and then, but pretty much just sight seeing. Looking at Wend taking pictures. Etc. As well we had a nice meal together with my parents. He he he. Wend got my mom some sugar free lemon cake, and I think that got her some good brownie points. ^_^

Eventually we went to her place, had us some snacks and a very nice talk. We went to church, came back and kept on with the conversation. I really like being able to just talk like that, for hours, with her. About strange topics, or even polemic ones. Bouncing ideas, etc.

Anyway, since the day after was to be a Monday (today), I thought it would be for the best to leave early, and give her the chance to sleep a good amount of hours.

When I got home, I talked to Victor and Kike... It seems that Kike will move out of the house soon. Yet it was some conclusion that was reached to in a nice pacific way. I was worried there had been some huge arguments with my parents or something. But it feels right, and everybody is quite at peace with the concept. So I bet it is good. I wish you good luck kike!.

He he he...

And well... Keep on the working and the doing!.

^_^

Cheers!

Just for quick reference...

Kind of a lame quick post... Just here for safe record keeping and all... You know the drill.

...

Yesterday was pretty cool all through the day. Things even worked out in a pretty cool way after I got in an argument with my dad after work. That one call from him made the rest of the evening just fine. Picked up Wend and we went to this thing at the TEC that was quite awesome. I wished they had those things while I was studying. This sort of corridor for the peace, great talk from a teacher, art, music, wine, smiles and great vibes in general.

After being a while in that, we decided it was time to go to this photo exhibit in the Haus Der Kunts. There we meet up with Hector Luis and Victor. The place was packed, the art exhibits were interesting, and I got to say hi to a couple of people.

We all went to have some French crepes after that, nice little French place, where the cook is a fun communist French guy, and the ambiance in general feels warm and nice. Great laughs in there.

When it was time to go home, we all took our ways. I took Wend to her place and we discussed the art exhibit for a little while. He he he. We really did!. I liked that talk. This one time though, I just left her there early, she was too tired and I really wasn't. So I gave her the chance she needed to sleep, and got me home early.

Right now I am supposed to be super working for a presentation that is to happen in about an hour... So... I better get to that.

Such a bad drive, fear is.

I do think too much, and not only that, but I do feel too much as well. And that is, my dear friends, a bad combo. My go with the flow philosophy is more a yearning that a fact. I wish I could live by it's standards and rules, but most of the times that is just smoke and mirrors. Just an illusion. Yet the mirror does have hard edges and those hard edges do get to me.

Still. I am working on it.

Figuring out where I am standing in general. And trying to honestly enjoy and live by the day. I hate that the thought of the future, and being able or not do this this and that feels like such a burden sometimes.

Anyway... A great B&W picture does have quite some contrast, with pure whites and blacks. Much more interesting than just a plain gray botch of nothing in life.

A little about this I talked with Victor yesterday on the way back home. I insist, he can be a good conversationalist some times... But I wonder if he has to try way too much, heh... Since usually he is just plain... Him. (heh!). Anyway, he did make a funny point too, talking about how much importance I have given in my posts to the fact of having Wend sleeping in my arms. He he he he. Oh well. It is a big deal to me, because of the feeling it gives me. But maybe I should focus too on other cool details that go on during the dates here and now.

You know... Proper record keeping and all. I want to look back at this post eventually and actually be able to remember what is it that we did when we went on dates. :-P

See?... Blacks and whites... Contrast... Stuff that makes me smile, and stuff that makes me worry... All in the same plate, served to go, and in need to be eaten before it rots.

Cheers.
