I have a story to tell.

:)

Thanks to the support of the fantastic people in my Home I was able to get away for 5 days (I flew on a plane for the first time) and experience a trip of just living the moment.



It was my first time to the beach town of “La Mision”


and I have to say I quite liked the feel of it; on week days there were mostly just surfers out there and since there were empty beaches I enjoyed long walks,

swimming,


margaritas,


sunsets


and naps.



Of course, the fabulous thing about taking lazy days is that when you have someone to share them with nothing is every really dull… to the contrary, there is hardly a dull moment. I was a very happy boy…


thank you Amber for making it so memorable! (she’s incredible... and gorgeous)


There are times when you come in contact with thosewhose hunger for life is so strong that it becomes contagious… guess we’ll see if I can keep up.




Enough said.

"Seamos realistas y hagamos lo imposible."  

Posted

I have for some time thought of myself as a realist, not so much in the sense that I am overly concerned for fact or reality and/or reject the impractical and visionary, but simply because I like to think that at least sometimes I have my feet halfway on the ground and think with a level head (I may be wrong on this one though, you tell me). However, itt seems that my notion of realism has been completely wrong.

I looked the term realist up in the dictionary and the definition of realism makes reference to the doctrine that universals exist outside the mind; specifically : the conception that an abstract term names an independent and unitary reality: or the theory that objects of sense perception or cognition exist independently of the mind -- and that can then lead to the issue of nominalism which is a whole different story.


Now, I of course wasn't relating what I was saying to any of this when I voiced to someone the other day that "I am a realist" in an attempt to express how based on past experience I didn't share her belief that a certain event would occur. But when I said it, she shot back with a thing or two that made me think about what I was really saying and it was very shortly thereafter that the title of this post (a Che Guevara quote) popped into my head...

So for what it's worth... you are right.

-If its difficult it may take a little while...if its impossible than it may take a little longer.

"Tis time this heart should be unmoved, since others it hath ceased to move, yet though I cannot be loved, still let me love."


...and thus I rest my case. Me encanta su manera de pensar... y sentir.

mariachi y baile  

Posted in ,

I've been in Cuernavaca for a few days, visiting amigos and such. A friend brought mariachi over for Nai's birthday celebration and we ended up singing till about 4 am, didn't think I knew that many rancheras.

I also got to see some good friends; Paz, Joy and Cel... hey; I even made a new one! He came all the way from Lithuania and I think he was rather pleased with the cultural experience.

So the velada turned out to be a lot of fun and I even danced a little when I could no longer sing, well I never could sing to begin with, but you know what I mean.









And for the record; I can't remember the last time I was this happy to get a one liner. :)

Teotihuacan

I had a really good time yesterday, hadn't gotten away for a while.

I couldn't help but think of what life and civilization must have been like back when it was a prosperous city; when life was still conducted at a pace where one would take the time to actually appreciate the beauty allaround us.




I am sitting atop the "Pyramid of the Sun" in the first two pictures, facing the Pyramid of the Moon.



Amber and I halfway up the Moon Pyramid, behind us lies the "Avenue of the Dead" and the large pyramid on the left is the "Pyramid of the Sun".

I have to thank her really for making me take her out there, as I would have probably never have gone of my own accord. Gracias Amber.
