this is what it's all about...

Most of you know that am working in a summer camp and bla bla bla... but just a few moments ago I remember something that happened that really got me thinking.

This girl Lupita from my group is a very special young lady. She is 13 years old and already acting like someone my age. I really believe she is "depressive" or something, but it's simply not right that a girl that young act so maturely and even more strange, is so full of pretensions... she is desperate to impress me, talking all day long about music, books, parties and "cool" things... I dunno... but I remember that when I was 13 years old the world was simpler and easier, and this girl is already too concern about everything.

Anyway, this girl really respects my opinions and points of view, and just the other day, without even knowing it, I think I really make her feel bad.

In computer class at the camp she called me to her computer 'coz she wanted to show me something. When I got there she started talking about a group that she really loves (i think it's called Aurum or something), and in fact she talks about that group a lot... and she started showing me some pictures and everything, but as soon as she played a song of them I realized that they were kinda "punk"... so

... so I lost interest right away. I dislike punk. And what I did next... well, I meant no harm. But I just said "BARGH! PUNK! I hate punk!" and I walked away...


... Next morning she didn't show up for summer camp O.o


I SWEAR I DIDN'T MEAN TO BE RUDE!!!... I just... walked away, and at the moment I thought there was nothing wrong with that...

Only one...

Yes... is our life, but remember that we have only one, so think carefully, we'll never get this moment back.

My life...


There is so much going on in my life lately. Good things mostly. I am working at a summer camp, and although is one of the most tiresome experiences since my trip to Oaxaca, am having a blast. Getting to spend the whole day surrounded by kids is great... they have a certaing vibe, a certain energy and innocence that puts me in a good mood for the rest of the day ^-^

I know for a fact that I want to have children of my own... Which leads me to my next topic.

I am blessed. I met a girl that pretty much fits in my "dream girl" image. Mariel is a great, intelligent, jolly, geeky, interesting, music and art lover, good looking girl. Somehow I can't help to hear this tiny voice inside my head that constantly tells me "is too soon", "she is too young", "I thought you said you wanna get married 'till your early thirties"

The voice is right. We are both too young... so what am I supposed to do? Be her boyfriend for ten more years?... that sounds hard.

But I do love her!!! I just can't walk away from this just because a tiny "pig's voice" inside my head.

My friend Blanco is passing through a shitty experience right now... and somehow it made remember a lot of things, and it just hitted me that I haven't commit myself to Mariel the way I did with Ireri. Is strange, but last time I was in love I even started building my life around my girl... every step I made had her escence all over it, but now I "know better", now I won't allow myself to put all my eggs in one basket. I love Mariel, love every little thing about her, but I haven't let go.

Why is that? Am I protecting myself at some uncouncious level? Or this is the way relationships get?

I know that if I get married of end up sharing my life with someone, I would like her to be a girl like Mariel... so what the fuck?

Bargh... hehehehe...

I just wish I don't end up doing anything stupid that I'll regret for the rest of my life.





(sorry for my spelling errors and stuff... quick post)

Here is a little thing I wrote

... y otras sorpresas

Creo que no tengo ni el espacio ni la imaginación suficiente como para imaginar su reacción en este momento. La reacción de todos. No se trata de hacer una sombría reflexión, ni una cruda disertación ni una alegre invitación, pero ahora, no puedo dejar de pensar en que la muerte, para nosotros los espectadores, lo complica todo.

La última vez que lo vi fue hace dos semanas en plaza Galerías en el estreno de la película de "Batman: Inicia". Lo vi como se ven todos los encuentros cotidianos e inesperados: con prisas y alegría. Me saludó de un abrazo y nos despedimos a medias con una promesa de vernos pronto. Ahora que lo recuerdo, me gustaría pensar que ese último encuentro fue uno feliz, y que en medio de toda tristeza cotidiana, él estaba contento.

El miércoles por la mañana recibí una llamada de mi hermano: a Jeziel lo habían encontrado el domingo en la madrugada en periférico, sin cartera ni celular, y según las autoridades atropellado… en ese momento estaba en el hospital civil inconsciente, no recibía visitas y nadie sabía realmente qué tan grave estaba.

A lo largo de la semana pedazos de información me ayudaban a armar el rompecabezas. Primero vino el accidente que nadie puede comprender todavía. Después el estado de coma, la insuficiencia respiratoria, las altas temperaturas y lo último que supe: insuficiencia renal. Para
este momento debí haber imaginado el siguiente paso, y de hecho lo hice, pero mi mente bondadosa imaginaba recuperaciones milagrosas y valiosas lecciones de vida… sin embargo la realidad siempre ha estado peleada con mi imaginación, y lo que vino lo complica todo.

Sé que existen miles de refranes y hasta "correos cadena" destinados a momentos como estos. Sabiduría popular cuyo propósito nunca me ha quedado muy claro, y aún ahora, me sigue importando poco.

Sin embargo todos nos encontramos con momentos como estos, donde las advertencias dejan de serlo, y nos quedamos, según como lo queramos tomar, con una promesa o con un "hubiera". Pensándolo todo y nada a la vez. Reflexionando en cosas grandes como el amor en un momento, y en al instante siguiente estar absortos en un vaso de leche.

Es un fenómeno extraño la muerte, que aunque sea parte de nuestras vidas, nunca deja de sorprendernos, y aunque ya la hayamos visto cara a cara en otras pérdidas siempre la sentimos extraña y enrarecida en su cotidianeidad.

Jeziel fue un gran amigo en su corta intervención por mi vida. Y no es fácil darme cuenta que ya no va a estar ahí, en esa esquina, para que le demos un "aventón" al trabajo; que ya no lo voy a escuchar reír; que ya no va a dibujar ni me va abrazar. Todo se complica para nosotros, y aunque estoy seguro que a él ya poco le importa, nosotros nos quedamos extrañándolo en este domingo, ahora complicado yarruinado, por esto, la muerte, que aún no me atrevo a llamar
cotidiano y natural.

Escribo esto no buscando simpatía ni tampoco buscando en ustedes una reflexión que cambie sus vidas… y Dios me ayude si escribo esto con una maldición de que si no lo mandan a quince amigos serán violados por una cabra loca. Escribo esto de manera egoísta. Lo escribo porque
escribir me hace sentir mejor, lo escribo porque dentro de todo mi egoísmo encontré un momento para acordarme de ustedes…

… lo escribo, porque aún no puedo dejar de pensar en ese insípido "adiós", en mi encuentro cotidiano con él, y en las prisas que le dediqué mi tiempo la última vez que lo vi.

... is not the end

Yeterday a group of friends, co-workers and family wished Jeziel "good luck in his journey"...

... funny though, Jeziel was always late, and he even arrived late for his burial. I know this makes no sense, and there wasn't anything he could do about it, but I found it hilarios. We were supposed to put hum six feet under at 4 pm, and he arrived one hour late. I guess he wasn't in a rush.

Just a few moments ago I spent quite a while just watching at some photos of him, and it brought back memories, it made me both smile and shed a couple of tears... It's just so freaking weird.

I guess one of the things that have made this process a lot more difficult for me is that we heard some rumors... that if true, something very fucked up happened. I really don't feel comfortable writing them down here, but... argh... it angers me just to think about them.

Pancho really helped me calm down 'coz am having some problems that really saddens me with one of my friends, and all this experince made me think a lot about it... he said something that I needed to hear:
"pero no pienses en esas cosas las "ultimas impresiones" así como las primeras no son cosas que reflejen el tumultoso, gratificante y largo camino de la mayoría de relaciones humanans "

(Am to lazy to translate, so if I are an "english reader only" please let me know to translate it )


Thank you Pancho ^-^

Shrinking glass...

I really hope you have all see thru a magnifying glass in your lives. Well, my life right now is under the influence of quite the opposite right now. Under a magnifying glass everything seems enormous, scary and overwhelming; however, since yesterday night every single “problem” in my life suddenly seems microscopic… compared to the feeling when you loose someone you love, when you loose a friend…

Surely you get the point.

It's a shame though. I hope form this moment on I'll be able to ignore this "problems" and focus in what really matters. Whatever that is.

.

Someone once told me, that there is only one question we should ask ourselves in the moment of our death: "Did I love well, and was I love well?"

Jez... you were loved, and I surely feel your love even now. So, have a blast making art out of clouds.

See you in the next life.
