Wrap up, pack away and leave...

It's that time of the year again... Closing up stuff in school, realizing it's just two more days of cold weather... The need to do laundry, pack my things, and just close the door to my room and leave this life, once again, behind for a while.

... Sigh...

Good times are ahead, my brother's graduation, see friends and family, and... Most of all... To show Albane my Country and my life, my place, my people and the tacos!!... He he he... To share a good time with her... Can't really wait.

... I want to make a post about Tarot by the way, yesterday something happened that made me realize why Alan always took it out to read it for him in some public spot... Heh... Well, at least one theory. :-P

Cheers people, I may be gone for a while... Enjoying my break, friends and girl... But next year I shall come back with a lot of punch, finish up the design of this site, and bring up a weekly web-comic!.

The best of holiday seasons to you. =)

45 seconds...


Time, as we all know, is a sketchy thing. It is perceived according to our expectations, and mostly... According to how aware we are of it. Time fades into nothing when you completely ignore it, when you are not aware of it and let it fly by... Say having a nice chat with your girl, a great night out with friends, or reading away a good book.

On the other hand... Time becomes a horribly slow crawler when you are aware of it... Like, for example, I am going to Mexico in just 6 days... And those 6 days feel freaking long, because I can't wait to be there... Why?... Expectation. For what?... Well, mostly the fact that I will meet Albane there. So... I am aware of time, and the bastard keeps running slowly.

Yet today, I found the epitome of time-stretching. I just realized it as I was observing the phenomena. IF you want to be aware of time, and see it crawl slooooowly... Just bring up some leftovers and place them in the freaking microwave. Click 1:30 minutes, and... Wait.

... 1:29

You can't believe only one second has passed, it feels like an eternity and you ARE hungry... Besides, there is people on msn talking to you, and you don't want to keep them waiting for long.

... 1:28

What?... Is this thing really working?... It can't possible be just two freaking seconds. Come on, a good song just finishes so fast and it lasts like 5 minutes!...

... 1:27

Is that slice of pizza warm already?... That cheese still seems horribly stiff... Maybe this guys already replied on msn!, I hate it when people make me wait too much in the middle of a good chat. ARGH!

... 1:26

... You get the idea.

It has been there all the time... Yet, I just realized it... An epiphany sort of thing... Like when I just "know" I have to take time off and treat my self for a day... (That seems to be a recurrent epiphany by the way... At least for me). Grrrr...

Damn Microwave and it's micro-waves of time stretching-ness... I wonder if I bring an mp3 while I wait for my food and stare at those numbers, would I hear the guy singing slowly?... Damn me if I try, too scary!

ps. I excuse my self... I realized at the end of this post that, really... Time can fly way too fast when you are aware of it too. Like when you have a deadline for the next morning and you haven't even started... Hmmm... Ok... I should study the bugger a little more, but on the mean time maybe I will put my microwave next to my desk while I work on this project due Monday. O.o

Well... Little by little

You will see the new image of this website... I am still playing around, and the sections will take a while to be 100% ready... But let's consider the new "Spacing Out" is in beta right now. :-P

Eventually, based on your comments and all, I will tune it up and make it a cool site. ;-)

So... Any feedback welcome about what is going on with this site!. New look?... Too boring?... Whatever... Let me know.

Cheers!

[update]: Ok, now that the "skeleton" of the site is ready, I do notice a huge lack of images all over the place. I will start using images with my posts, and in every section. Screen-shots for the portfolio, etc... This is kind of a self-reminder... So... Sorry I made you waste your time by reading it!. ^__^

[update2]: yes, the "dude" sitting by the right of the layout is supposed to be me. :-P
