The Padilla Gene...

This whole idea about the “Padilla Gene” has being revolving around my head for a few days now. Last week I had I really cool chat with Tomas, basically about “mujeres y traiciones” and random stories that were both worth living and telling.

I have quite a good “repertoire” of stories that goes from the unbelievable romantic to the astonishingly porn-flick kinda story. And in the middle of one of my stories Tomas suddenly said that it was all due the “Padilla Gene”. And yes, now that I think about it my brother has quite a messed up repertoire of his own.

Why is that? Why a couple of two normal guys as us went through all this?

We’re nice boys. Not the classic Don Juan, bad boy kinda guy. No, we are guys that most of the times tend to be nice towards women. Real gentlemen. We are the boys that girls see as “potential friends” or “cute huggable bears” or most commonly known as “marriage material” ¬-¬… You know what I’m saying?

Then… why? Are lucky enough to be in the right place, at the right time with the right people so that life can throw us all these different kinds of experiences? Or is there something else? Some kind of vibe? The Padilla Gene perhaps…?

Also a few days back I was having a good talk with Erik (aka Alfa), and this whole “Padila Gene” popped out in the chat again; however this time not in the same “lucky bastards full of cool stories to tell” kinda thing, but in the “man, you always have the bad luck of attracting messed up people, full of troubles and usually, after a while, you are either too deep inside someone else’s crap or you have to put up with their endless victim stories”.

Hmmmm... again… true. We do tend to attract messed up people that look comfort and help, and most of the time we care enough to listen to them and make their problems (even a little bit) ours. The dark side of the “Padilla Gene”???

This is a topic that can go on forever… hehehe… lots of thing to say but I haven’t got the time. Maybe later.

Am off…
