Finals are getting closer, so I won't talk about it too much right now since I'm sure it will be the topic of choice for the following weeks until I am done Dec. 11th. I have a good month break, but I'm not sure how I am going to spend it. I'm sure I'll go home, but for how long I am not sure.
Tuesday I had to wait for the cable guy. They told me 2-5pm. I have class until 3pm so I decided to be adventurous and show up at 3pm and if he came, well no HBO for Marty. I get free cable, but no HBO and I have a lot of shows I follow there, so I figured it was time to get it. I get home and then wonder if the guy already came and left or not. So I don't leave or do anything. Finally I get a call saying he is running late and will be there at 6pm. I feel like my gamble paid off when I find out he hadn't come yet, but I was wrong. The guy didn't actually get there until 7 or 7:30. I got my cable, but am mad I stressed about not being home for that hour. This is my life, be envious.
Angie starts her new job today. I wish her good luck. She seems to worry a lot about making the right decision in her life, such as picking the right job and the right path. Hopefully this job will work into her plan. I'm sure she will enjoy it. Yesterday some one called her mother and told her that her daugher (Angie's sister) was in a car accident and to call a certain number. This led to a long period of time where everyone was stressed trying to find the status on her sister. She ended up being in class ok and it was a prank call from a phone booth. I can't believe people could be such jerks. I'm glad it all turned out ok.
I have done my lecture on forwards before and a person that sends you a forward that says if you don't forward you will be cursed is no friend at all. I do argue that if you like the email, copy the substance and forward that, not the threats part. Here is one of those emails. It was a list of things to keep in mind. I threw in my commentary and excuse the bullshit stuff that is so tried and repeated, I can't help it.
ONE. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
- I'd do it only to people I care about.
TWO. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.
- I think it is saying not to marry for just sex, but I think it is important for the person you love to be your best friend because life is long and you'd better like the company of this person. A girl who can have a good conversation is a rare gem I think.
THREE. Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.
- I do this, but its probably not the best choice as indicated by my bills.
FOUR. When you say, "I love you," mean it.
- I really think those words mean nothing if not followed by actions. Doesn't matter how much you mean it if you don't show it. The worse is "I love you, but.."
FIVE. When you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in the eye.
- Don't expect forgiveness just because you said it, you are not entitled to anything, and be willing to be sorry even if you are not forgiven. I know people that would take the sorry back if you said fuck your sorry to them.
SIX. Be engaged at least six months before you get married.
- Don't live with them before you are engaged.
SEVEN. Believe in love at first sight.
- I don't think people have love at first sight for ugly people. I think you can know at first sight if you could love this person, but I think it just means, wow you were hot and luckily it worked out.
EIGHT. Never laugh at anyone's dreams. People who don't have dreams don't have much.
- Laugh and laugh loud, cause some people have stupid dreams, low expectations or no plan. Make them stand up for their dreams, don't be a dick about it, but being a friend means being honest. I think people are big enough to make their own decisions and not blame you for following their dreams.
NINE. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely.
- Might? You will get hurt, but its a great ride I think. Everyone says this crap though, it's in a lot of my quotes, but I think if you are just a good person and care for another person, things will fall into place...the romantic getaway view of love is great, and it has its moments, but over a lifetime, you don't spend it with strawberrys and champage, you spend it with a person you want to be around, someone cool who you can tell about how much you hate the cable man.
TEN. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.
- Totally about this, I think people should fight, but if you do it unfair then it leads to all kinds of problems, at least you can walk away from a disagreement, but not when a person was just a total bitch to you, you either like them less as a person or are offended on how they portray you as a person.
ELEVEN. Don't judge people by their relatives.
- True, but look at how they treat them I think.
TWELVE. Talk slowly but think quickly.
- I'd rather get more out by speaking faster, but I should work on focusing my points more.
THIRTEEN. When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask, "Why do you want to know?"
- Maybe just don't answer as it is none of their business.
FOURTEEN. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
- Not always, just because you didn't risk much to get something, it doesn't devalue it.
FIFTEEN. Say "bless you" when you hear someone sneeze.
- According to a teacher I had, don't say "God bless you" and according to another person always say "God" in there...either way, its some sort of pagan thing about losing your soul that really has nothing to do with God, just so you can know.
SIXTEEN. When you lose, don't lose the lesson.
- The lesson that you suck, that you might not be as good as the person or that it was fun just to play?
SEVENTEEN. Remember the three R's: Respect for self; Respect for others;and Responsibility for all your actions.
- I have to remember so many acroymns, but thanks to 17 I will stop disrespecting people and being irresponsible...this is common sense, I'd cut this one out.
EIGHTEEN. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
- Damn, I've been getting this one wrong too. I think they were getting tired at this point, as you probably are. Just be careful when a girl is in the picture, a future wife carries a lot weight even though friendship might be really strong.
NINETEEN. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
- Or cut your losses and move on.
TWENTY. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice.
- It's good to be positive I think, cause no one likes a negative person, but don't be fake.
TWENTY-ONE. Spend some time alone.
- It is important to have your own life, but alone can get lonely.
Un Dia Lejano
A veces me da por volver a pensar
en esos días que el tiempo borró y en las huellas que dejó
Y cada vez que me alejo te siento más
Y cada vez es más fuerte el sentimiento
de que algún día podrás volver a sanar nuestro amor
A veces me da por correr y escapar
Por lamentar lo que nunca te di
Lo que siempre te escondí
Y cada vez que me alejo te siento más
Tal vez...Algún día lejano quizás...
Te vuelva a encontrar
Tal vez...Algún día lejano quizás
Te pueda olvidar...
Te pueda olvidar...
Te pueda olvidar...
...Amor
