In search of...

Ok, a new day arrives...

I must confess, yesterday I was a bit tired of studying all day I decided to let my mind rest for a while with a good movie, so I went to see "The Day after Tomorrow". I don't know if I should thank the "hour and half" I spent driving around the mall for a parking space, or the fact that it was Sunday and EVERYONE gets together to go to the movies, but I got there LATE, and there was no early shows (at least not til 9:00 pm). So I figured, I might as well catch another movie (these days there aren't many good movies showing, and to my taste, I rather rent a foreign than see some cheap action movie), so there it was: "Something's Gotta Give" starring Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton.

First off, WHAT A GREAT MOVIE! I would definitely recommend it to those who are just full of (and emptied out of) life and love. (life seems to be the subject in matter at the moment huh?). A movie teaching a good lesson, no matter how you see it, it all comes down to that main subject: In a relationship SOMEONE just gotta give.

This is a real issue that just doesn't happen to one person, but to a whole population out there, who have inmense theories about love, and "letting go" and those sappy thoughts about "If you love someone let it go, if it comes back it was yours to keep, if it doesn't, it just wasn't meant to be". Ok, so part of that is true, but what if real true love requires more effort than just sitting with your arms crossed staring at the horizon waiting for anything to happen?

It's a matter of playing your cards right. Destiny does happen, but for those who seek their fortune, not letting fortune come to them. I've had those experiences in the past, and that's why I'm sharing this. You just let go because it's needed, but destiny just comes around once in a while and says "HEY STUPID, I'M HERE COME GET ME!", while you're just goofin around through unimportant issues in your daily life. It's a matter of choice, a matter of dedication, of giving, of reaching higher than expected.

It's funny, sometimes I would have never thought that destiny throughout the years gives out oportunities, it's like a winning lottery. You've got your number, claim your price when the time is right. And it doesn't just comes around once in a lifetime, it comes MANY times in a lifetime, the problem is choosing, and not setting your mind straight over what you really want.

As humans, we are so fooled by our failures, by our deceptions, and mostly about our defects. Our insecurities are based on that, and that is why we sometimes feel that it's not just "the right time" to give in to love. Let me give you the real deal here: THERE IS NO RIGHT TIME IN LIFE. It's just about seeking and taking risks when your number is up. You bet and gamble, and sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. That's the way to really get what's going on in your love life.

So you've got feelings for that person sitting next to you in class? Ask him/her out for good... what's there to lose? Integrity? I rather lose that, than have a guilt trip lasting for a long time. How about while BEING in a relationship: So it all turns to routine, ask yourself what's there to lose, and what's there to risk to actually change that routine for merely a second (worth lasting a lifetime).

I quote The Darkness: "I believe in a thing called love"... So I think I'm not gonna just sit here and wait, I'm gonna build up strategies to find her, or just find her again (who knows, sometimes true love is just around the corner, you just never looked around, eyes wide open to actually SEE IT).

It's about destiny, but also about CHOICE! People, make sure you beleive in your choice, no matter how good or bad it is, as long as it gives you a lesson (and a reward, who wouldn't like that!). Or else consider yourself warned, one word: PROZAC.

In the end, don't be so proud; someone just gotta give in...


I should be a Heineken spokeperson don't you think? Anyways it's the first picture I post so bear with me...

On a first note...

Hey everyone, welcome to the REAL taco...

Pretty interesting for this to be my first blog note, actually my first public note EVER on the Net. Usually I keep things to myself, but hey, there's always a time for one to come out with crazy ideas...

Let's start off, topic of the moment:

Ask yourself this, is it cool for a person who just wasted 5 months of his life studying something he's definitely not fit to do to actually give it one last chance in studying, right when it's 10:00 pm, knowing you have just a couple of hours worth of reviewing a whole semester, while you spent the rest of the day figuring "What's life for"? Moralists might say "You dumb idiot (redundant speak), where have you been all day?", some just might think if you're not worth to it, don't waste it anymore, and some will go "Hey, 5 months and you didn't do crap, why waste one more minute knowing it's worthless"?

Okay that's that, battle your whole day/night with it, I'm sticking to the fact that I did bad, but I must give it one last shot, even if it's not meant for me to finish it at all. THAT's what I figured out today.

In all terms possible, life just happens sometimes, and sometimes it doesn't at all. And I'm not writing to discourage, but in fact to give a word of advice; maybe this all seems so wrong and confusing but that's the way life deals the cards. There are people who persevere no matter the battle (they even fight other people's battle), and some people that just know when it's exactly the end of it all. I seem to be in that impassé.

So here I am, 20 minutes past, still writing about what life should be about. But instead, you know what? I'm giving life a living chance, for once letting me run the last quarter mile. I might as well run like a fool, but feeling deep inside that there's no lost cause in the end as long as it gives you all the tools and the knowledge needed to LEARN.

That's a general rule, something they might never teach us in high school, nor college, you don't get a Masters Degree in Life you know? Hell, if it all were that easy.

What's better yet is the whole beauty around it... It's not about giving up, about realizing your failure, but recognizing that for once you did a job, you actually proposed yourself a goal, even if you didn't make it, it's wise to learn about how you drove down that road to Victory Lane, for the next time you will drive with better skills, and maybe then you will reach that checkered line once and for all.

It's great that life DOES give us second chances, we're just too fooled by deception to actually realize it's THERE.

So my dear friends, a word of advice: There's never enough life for us to achieve our dreams, but there's always a chance you might just make it if you keep those dreams ALIVE.

... I must go back to study, see you guys tomorrow!
