The Defining Moment

January 28, 2008 · Leave a Comment

I was eight years old, and something life-changing was about to happen, something that would define my future in a great way.

I was not moving to just another house.

I was not moving to just another neighborhood.

I was not moving to just another city.

I was moving to another country. A foreign country.

A country where the language wasn’t my own, and that meant that I had to learn a whole different language, and adapt to a new culture. A country that I practically knew nothing about.

It’s funny where life takes you. Just last year I was living in New York City. I would never could have imagined I was going to end up living there someday.

Will I go back to New York? Will I stay in St. Louis all my life? Will I move back to my native Mexico, the place that I left behind when I was a little kid?

Nobody knows where life is going to take you next. There is a quote I like that says: “Life is a journey, not a destination”. Very True. Life is what we make of it. Heard of “The Secret”? I somewhat believe on that.

Looking back, I have been through a lot. Life is all about obstacles, but as I have heard one time, life doesn’t give you obstacles that you can’t overcome.

Today I find myself knowing this country’s language, adapted very well to it’s culture, and have made significant relationships with people from here. I feel this is my home, I mean, you would expect that from someone that grew up here.

I been back to Mexico a couple of times since back when I was eight. Whenever I’m there I remember the old days when I was just a little kid, and despite that, somehow I feel like if it was alien territory for me.

Who knows what is next in my journey through  life. For now, we should all truly enjoy ourselves and don’t take life too seriously.

Hopeless Romantic

January 25, 2008 · Leave a Comment

I am currently finding myself in a weird state of mind. I am experiencing several feelings. I try to ignore them, but it doesn’t seem to work.

On the other hand, I heard that some people show this kind of emotions during this time of year, and it’s mostly because of lack of sunlight. Actually, the correct name for this disorder is SAD, which means Seasonal Affective Disorder. It basically is a winter depression, and it’s believed to be related to light.

But, I am pretty sure that is not the main reason for the way I feel. There is something else. Actually, a lot more. But one main reason I know for sure is making me feel this way, is Love.

Maybe I’m just a big love fool, a sentimental dreamer.

That is what I am, a hopeless romantic.

The other day I was at someones house, and I saw these two big ass rabbits in a cage that almost looked like they were cuddling and licking each other. The cutest thing ever. I was thinking to myself that I wanted that. I want someone to be with, and I want someone to fuck like rabbits with! haha.

I am coming to a conclusion that until the point where I find my significant other, I will always have issues with my feelings. That is the bottom line. Fortunately for me, I do think there is someone out there for everyone.

Let’s just hope so.

Me On The Tyra Banks Show

January 12, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Ok, so remember my post a while ago about how I got interviewed on the streets of New York by people from the Tyra Banks show? Well they told me that they were going to call me to tell me if I was going to be on the show, so when they didn’t call me I assumed that they didn’t used me after all. Then later on a friend told me that she saw me on the show! I was like, wtf?

Well I found out which show was it. It aired November 7th, 2007, and It’s called “What would you do?”. I just don’t know how I can get to see it. I want to see how I did!

Classic Faves

January 2, 2008 · Leave a Comment

I used to love the cartoons that I watched back in the day. The ones that come off the top of my head are: Paw Paws, Garfield & Friends, Pound Puppies, Bobby’s World, Pinky and the Brain, HeathcliffTop Cat, and oh so many more great ones! I can barely remember some of them, but I know I used to love to watch these. 

Some of the cartoons today are OK, but the older ones were the shit! Specially the Thundercats, Silver Hawks, and G Force. Those are my top three all-time favorites.

Times have changed so much. But I have to say that my favorite classic, non-cartoon, has to be The Power Rangers. God I lived for that show! The best ever. I actually think that show is still on TV, right? I wouldn’t know because I don’t watch it anymore, not because I’m not a kid anymore, but The Power Rangers have changed so much, they are not like they used to be. I wouldn’t mind watching the older shows now. I always wanted to be the red ranger! Remember when the movie came out? That was cool. 

Another great classic is the show Alf, and Knight Rider was the shit too. Anyway just thought I would share this with you guys. It’s just nice to remember the good things from back then once in a while!
