Hide & Seek: The girl from War of the Worlds is awesome in this movie! She needs not speak, her eyes says it all! And De Niro looks delicious. LOL Anyway, entertaining... Loved Charlie!
Premonition: Another japanese flick... Suspense... Some shots stay in your head (like a girl with blew-up face...) Really nice storyline, as usual. I'm becoming a deep fan of these films... Gotta build a nice film-library of them...

Ay payita mía
Guárdate la poesía
Guárdate la alegría pa'ti
No pido que todos los días sean de sol
No pido que todos los viernes sean de fiesta
Tampoco te pido que vuelvas rogando perdón
Si lloras con los ojos secos
Y hablando de ella
Ay amor me duele tanto
Me duele tanto
Que te fueras sin decir a donde
Ay amor,
fue una tortura
perderte
Refrão: Yo se que no he sido un santo
Pero lo puedo arreglar amor
No solo de pan vive el hombre
Y no de excusas vivo yo.
Solo de errores se aprende
Y hoy se que tuyo es mi corazón
Mejor te guardas todo eso
A otro perro con ese hueso
Y nos decimos adiós
No puedo pedir que el invierno perdone a un rosal
No puedo pedir a los olmos que entreguen peras
No puedo pedirle lo eterno a un simple mortal
Y andar arrojando a los cerdos miles de perlas
Ay amor me duele tanto
Me duele tanto
Que no creas más en mis promesas
Ay amor
Es una tortura
Perderte!
Repete refrão :
Yo se que no he sido un santo
(Y es que no estoy hecho de cartón)
No te bajes, no te bajes
Oye negrita mira, no te rajes
De lunes a viernes tienes mi amor
Déjame el sábado a mi que es mejor
Oye mi negra no me castigues más
Porque allá afuera sin ti no tengo paz
Yo solo soy un hombre muy arrepentido
Soy como el ave que vuelve a su nido
Repete refrão:
Yo se que no he sido un santo
(Y es que no estoy hecho de cartón)
Ay ay ay,
Ay ay ay,
Ay, todo lo que he hecho por ti
Fue una tortura perderte
Me duele tanto que sea asi
Sigue llorando perdón
Yo... yo no voy
A llorar por ti...
A llorar por ti!
-Shakira, La Tortura

Went to HT last night, dining with Groundel and then we tried to watch a movie... tried because the frigging movie kept skipping... grrr... so we forgot about it and so he left.
Took Cyric to the vet this morning. He got his operation and his rabies/deworming shots. He's still with the tecato look, but he's doing better by the minute. :P
Oh, lovely news from out dear governor... He's gonna cut the hours of work for government employees to 4 days, with the 4 day pay only... so thats 80% less money than what we are making... WTF? Translation... Next week we'll witness havok in the island. No one likes his idea, but since he seems to enforce a dictatorship we are all screwed. So... from bad to worst... I am seriously thinking about leaving this place for good. I have worked hard all my life, and now the rise on electricity fees, taxes, water and if they cut gov jobs earnings... (sight)... Just when you think things will be better... shit happens... I don't know where my car will take me, but seems all arrows are signaling anywhere else but here...
Met Marie during lunch. The girl has been trough some shit, and I love her attitude. Ah, nothing like someone who describes herselfs as a bitch, and she certainly means it! LOL Yay! Bitches unite! :D

Well, nothing worth mentioning... No one passed by last night, I was bored and lonely... Went to sleep early... Kitties jumping as if they were part of a Cirque de Soleil act... Almost didn't wake up today... Still sleepy, at least its been 2 days in a row I'm "sleeping" at almost the same time... This seems to be a day that will be looooong because I am so friggin bored...
Need to change the front tires of the Rav4. And change oil. And clean it up.
Will take Cyric to the vet tomorrow as well. ;) Need to end the peeing everywhere cycle.
Saw a nice set at HT, so I guess I'll visit tonight...
Will get a nice set from Lippy on the net too...
Met a lady that seems sensible and kind.

You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen
When your heart's not open
You're so consumed with how much you get
You waste your time with hate and regret
You're broken
When your heart's not open
Mmmmmm, if I could melt your heart
Mmmmmm, we'd never be apart
Mmmmmm, give yourself to me
Mmmmmm, you hold the key
Now there's no point in placing the blame
And you should know I suffer the same
If I lose you
My heart will be broken
Love is a bird, she needs to fly
Let all the hurt inside of you die
You're frozen
When your heart's not open
Mmmmmm, if I could melt your heart
Mmmmmm, we'd never be apart
Mmmmmm, give yourself to me
Mmmmmm, you hold the key
You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen

Met NoName and his girl yesterday. The event took place at Borders, and they teleported to the Business section just as I found a book named Queen Elizabeth,CEO. I want to get that book later on. :D
Well, the couple is a thrill ride. She is into scrapbooking and knows most if not all the places available for that within the island. She's also very spontaneus and quick witted. And somehow has an ability to make waiters drool. :P
Anyway, they treated me to lunch at Chilli's, and then we went to the scrapbooking store here in my hometown. Oh... There I said hello to the french fries I ate before... Yup, threw up. We went to my small shelter so we could see the scrapbooks of one another... And then throwing up #2,3 and 4 happenned. Well... The burger looked kinda cute... Maybe it was just the way to send a burger to another person within Earth who was hungrier or something... First the bread, then the meat, then even the lettuce... yup, in that order. Gross, huh? LOL
The kitties were shy at first,but after a while they began to show their faces. It was funny to see how NoName was trying not to get cat hair in his clothing...ermmm... helloooo? at my place thats a true mission impossible! LMAO!!!
Ok... Nothing else to do, too late for the Zoo, so we headed to Rincóns lighthouse. It was ok, although the view was not to pretty because it had been raining before... At least the guys learned a bit about the Dome... Yup, Rincón, the radioactive spot of the West... Buahahahahahah...
Final stop, El Mesón. Some mental pictures of NoName jumping on the Dance machine were quite disturbing, but I managed to dig in a quesito. I got a spare one, in case someone showed up at home... Anyway, the outing ended with gasolina and goodbyes. :) Don't worry, Mommy and Daddy, you will know your island by the end of this year, promise! ;)
Arrived at home. Groundel was there, a bit sleepy by the looks of it... He seemed happy to see me... Gave him the quesito as a b-day present as I had no money to get anything else... He explained why he had not come the days before... And after some more talk he left. No, he still won't come back. He's very stubborn. He won't listen to what his heart tells him. And he's killing us both.
Today... Woke up as if I were going to work... Checked the net and Taz was around. Talked with him for a while, its quite a delight exchanging words with him. He is no dumb ass, as most males. Anyway... Cleaned up the house, dyed my hair, and here I am... Let's see what the night brings on...

Groundel didnt have time to come see me today... It was his birthday, and I waited the whole day for him... The whole day until now... I guess the celebration with his new family must have been something... Must have... For this is the first birthday in the time that we know each other, that we do not pass together... I waited like a foolish brat... All because I believed... So much for being so special... So much for the long talks and sharing... So much for our truth... I guess I am easier to forget now.
Happy Birthday. I love you. I waited.

Constitution Day. Havent seen the light of the day yet. Been sleeping-waking up, taking meds, sleeping... Last night Tril appeared with orange juice and guava-piña. Left it in the fridge, and left. I don't get it. Seems everyone is leaving food offerings for Gaea! Hmmm... Yup... Another goddess, not me. Either that or they are preparing me for Xmas... If I had known he would leave so fast I would have kept speaking with NoName. Oh, well...
I expected Groundel to pass yesterday night... at least to check on me... I guess he had his hands full with his friends and family. I am not that important anymore. An afterthought, maybe... Today is his birthday. I expected him to be here early to go out and celebrate as usual... As usual... Why I keep kidding myself? Nothing is as usual anymore. He has another place, another family. I am alone... Yeah, things get better allright...
Dont feel like writing more.

Look around everywhere you turn is heartache
It's everywhere that you go (look around)
You try everything you can to escape
The pain of life that you know (life that you know)

Love don't live here anymore

There was nothing I could conceive
That you wouldn't do for me
Trouble seemed so far away
You changed that right away, baby
You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore
Just a vacancy
Love don't live here anymore
Love don't live here anymore
Just emptiness and memories
Of what we had before
You went away
Found another place to stay, another home
You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore
Just a vacancy
Love don't live here anymore
In the windmills of my eyes
Everyone can see the loneliness inside me
Why'd ya have to go away
Don't you know I miss you so and need your love

Saturday: The day had drama, action, suspense, romance, horror, sickness and lovelyness. Ended up crying on my pillow… but then what’s new. I wish things were different. Things will get better… I wish I could believe in that as I believe in angels…
Sunday: I finally found some sleep around 4am… woke up at 8am to feed the kitties and have breakfast… went to sleep and woke up at 11am… so I went in a cleaning frenzy… ended up in a bath and lunch at 1pm, then again to sleep… woke up at 5 because the phone rang, then more sleep until 10. What a way to let go off a day… But I feel so tired, my eyes are sunken, my cough is anoying, fever comes and goes and I have no strenght to get up and drive… or simply to get up. Everything hurts, inside out, upside down, physically and emotionally. Oh, well…
Spoke with Mystica today. LOL Yesterday she saw me at the movies but didn’t say hi. Oh well, I don’t bite. :P So, we had a nice conversation. She’s cool. Mr.Noname was also alive and says he’s coming to my side of the island. Lets see if that’s true. Vet! LOL Whatever. I’m feeling moody and unfriendly right now…
Tomorrow, Monday 25th, Constitution Day. Also, Gruendel’s Birthday. Hopefully he will pass by so at least I can say I’m happy he’s alive… I miss him dearly. Wanted to give him a gift, but no cash until Friday… And cannot surprise him because I don’t know where he is anyway… On the 26th it will be one complete month since he left. It has been the worst time in my whole life, and I’ve had plenty of those… He says things will get better… I don’t see how.
Whatever…

The Island: Loved it. Nice take on clones. Ewan McGregor once again shows his versatile nature as an actor... Thats why he's my favorite. You gotta see this movie!
Ewan McGregor:
Childhood
Ewan Gordon McGregor was born March 31, 1971 and brought up in the "haggis and heather" town of Crieff, Scotland. In other words, Crieff is a small, traditional country town where Ewan enjoyed a happy childhood playing in forests, with horses, and performing Elvis impersonations for his parents and their friends. He caught the acting bug from his uncle, Denis Lawson, an actor who starred in Scottish movies (Local Hero) and West End musicals (Mr. Cinders) and was also in the first three Star Wars films. "He had long hair, beads and a furry waistcoat. I aspired to be as different as he seemed to me," McGregor says of his uncle.
Starting Off
At sixteen, Ewan left Crieff and Morrison Academy, where his father James is a Career Advisor and P.E. Teacher, to gain experience with the Perth Repertory Theatre. His parents encouraged him to leave school and pursue his acting goals rather than be unhappy. Ewan studied drama for a year at Kirkcaldly in Fife, then enrolled at London's Guildhall School of Music and Drama for a three-year course. Right before graduating he snagged the role of Private Mick Hopper in Dennis Potter's 1993 six-part Channel 4(UK) series Lipstick on Your Collar and left to pursue his promising acting career.
Lipstick did not turn out to be the success people had hoped for and Ewan was not turned into an overnight sensation like he had imagined. The phone was not suddenly ringing off the hook with offers so Ewan went from that lead role to the blink and you'll miss him role of Alvarez in Bill Forsyth's Being Human, which turned out to be a huge box office dud for the the film's star, Robin Williams. But hey, Ewan did get to travel to Morocco to film his couple of lines so it wasn't a complete loss. He followed this experience up by hopping over to France to play the lead role of Julien Sorel in Ben Bolt's major three-part BBC adaptation of Stendah's Scarlet and Black. Again, stardom eluded Ewan but that never really was his aim to begin with.
Breakthrough
And then came his breakthrough role as Alex Law in the brilliant Shallow Grave, directed by Danny Boyle, written by John Hodge and produced by Andrew MacDonald. Wicked, dark, hilarious, scary, wonderful: only a few words to describe this amazing film. With the cult success of Shallow Grave, came the opportunity for more work like The Pillow Book and the role that finally created the most attention up to that point for Ewan– Trainspotting, the second film by the Shallow Grave trio. Ewan starred as Mark Renton: heroin addict, hero, anti-hero. The film made waves for its brilliant and refreshingly bold images and for being sick, wacky, fabulously funny, visually arresting and completely innovative. Ewan was the heart of the film. Trainspotting introduced to the world a unique new talent.
Star on the Rise
The success of Trainspotting not only boosted British cinema but allowed Ewan more opportunities, adding plenty of diverse and varied roles to his resume: pigeon keeper Billy in Little Voice, coal miner and horn player Andy in Brassed Off, Glam rocker Curt Wild in Velvet Goldmine, kidnapper Robert in A Life Less Ordinary among many. Ewan also won the coveted role of the young Obi-Wan Kenobi in the three Star Wars prequels. His starring role in the innovative tragic-comic-operatic-musical Moulin Rouge as Christian displayed the ability Ewan has in taking on any type of role and making the character come alive in a way few actors can. Ewan's performance gained many fans and attention from the film world, garnering a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor. Be sure to check out the Film section of this site for a complete list of all of Ewan's work.
Getting Personal
Ewan is married to French production designer Eve Mavrakis. They met while working on the TV show Kavannagh QC, where Ewan played a young man accused of rape. They married in France in July of 1995 and have two daughters, Clara Mathilde (born in February of 1996) and Esther Rose (born in November of 2001). They currently live in London. Whenever possible, Ewan takes his family with him on location for each movie he makes.
Ewan owns several motorcycles and is involved with a racing team in England. He has quite the passion for motorbikes. Ewan has stated in the past that he is a huge fan of Oasis and had the pleasure of announcing Oasis' act on the 1996 MTV Video Music Awards with Ewen Bremmer (Spud from Trainspotting) and gave out copies of their 3rd CD to members of the crew while filming the first Star Wars prequel. Despite playing a rock star in Velvet Goldmine, he still has dreams of being one. Starring in Moulin Rouge gave Ewan the chance to sing once again. But don't get him wrong, Ewan loves acting and can't imagine doing anything else. He also claims he would never move to Hollywood or back to his hometown as it is not the same as when he was growing up there. Ewan is very close to his parents who have accompanied Ewan to premieres and his older brother Colin, a RAF pilot. His mother Carol has a cameo as one of the would-be tenants in Shallow Grave. She helps handle Ewan's busy schedule and fan mail. Carol is also involved in a program in the UK to offer descriptive audio tracks of movies for the visually impaired. Ewan visits Crieff whenever he can. He's made trips back to Morrison Academy to give a lecture on acting and to participate in the annual Crieff Highland Games. Ewan is also actively involved in numerous charity organizations and causes, doing his part whenever possible.
One thing to be sure of, Ewan does not want to make films he wouldn't watch himself. He chooses his roles because of the director, the cast, and the script. Sometimes, the film doesn't turn out the way it started off. In taking chances, Ewan has taken on roles in films that might and have failed at the box office. He took a risk in forming a production company with good friends Jonny Lee Miller, Sean Pertwee, Jude Law, and Sadie Frost called Natural Nylon which they hoped would make innovative films that they actively participate in and care about. Ewan starred as James Joyce in Nora, a film he co-produced with Natural Nylon's involvement. He recently left Natural Nylon in 2002 however, due to lack of time. He also dabbled in directing a short segment of Tube Tales that Sean and Jude were also involved with. Ewan, in fact, shared an apartment with Jude when they first started out as struggling actors in London after meeting at an audition years ago. They are all part of the recent resurgence of British cinema, with Ewan well on his way to establishing himself as an actor with a long creative career ahead of him unlike any other.

Ewan McGregor:
Childhood
Ewan Gordon McGregor was born March 31, 1971 and brought up in the "haggis and heather" town of Crieff, Scotland. In other words, Crieff is a small, traditional country town where Ewan enjoyed a happy childhood playing in forests, with horses, and performing Elvis impersonations for his parents and their friends. He caught the acting bug from his uncle, Denis Lawson, an actor who starred in Scottish movies (Local Hero) and West End musicals (Mr. Cinders) and was also in the first three Star Wars films. "He had long hair, beads and a furry waistcoat. I aspired to be as different as he seemed to me," McGregor says of his uncle.
Starting Off
At sixteen, Ewan left Crieff and Morrison Academy, where his father James is a Career Advisor and P.E. Teacher, to gain experience with the Perth Repertory Theatre. His parents encouraged him to leave school and pursue his acting goals rather than be unhappy. Ewan studied drama for a year at Kirkcaldly in Fife, then enrolled at London's Guildhall School of Music and Drama for a three-year course. Right before graduating he snagged the role of Private Mick Hopper in Dennis Potter's 1993 six-part Channel 4(UK) series Lipstick on Your Collar and left to pursue his promising acting career.
Lipstick did not turn out to be the success people had hoped for and Ewan was not turned into an overnight sensation like he had imagined. The phone was not suddenly ringing off the hook with offers so Ewan went from that lead role to the blink and you'll miss him role of Alvarez in Bill Forsyth's Being Human, which turned out to be a huge box office dud for the the film's star, Robin Williams. But hey, Ewan did get to travel to Morocco to film his couple of lines so it wasn't a complete loss. He followed this experience up by hopping over to France to play the lead role of Julien Sorel in Ben Bolt's major three-part BBC adaptation of Stendah's Scarlet and Black. Again, stardom eluded Ewan but that never really was his aim to begin with.
Breakthrough
And then came his breakthrough role as Alex Law in the brilliant Shallow Grave, directed by Danny Boyle, written by John Hodge and produced by Andrew MacDonald. Wicked, dark, hilarious, scary, wonderful: only a few words to describe this amazing film. With the cult success of Shallow Grave, came the opportunity for more work like The Pillow Book and the role that finally created the most attention up to that point for Ewan– Trainspotting, the second film by the Shallow Grave trio. Ewan starred as Mark Renton: heroin addict, hero, anti-hero. The film made waves for its brilliant and refreshingly bold images and for being sick, wacky, fabulously funny, visually arresting and completely innovative. Ewan was the heart of the film. Trainspotting introduced to the world a unique new talent.
Star on the Rise
The success of Trainspotting not only boosted British cinema but allowed Ewan more opportunities, adding plenty of diverse and varied roles to his resume: pigeon keeper Billy in Little Voice, coal miner and horn player Andy in Brassed Off, Glam rocker Curt Wild in Velvet Goldmine, kidnapper Robert in A Life Less Ordinary among many. Ewan also won the coveted role of the young Obi-Wan Kenobi in the three Star Wars prequels. His starring role in the innovative tragic-comic-operatic-musical Moulin Rouge as Christian displayed the ability Ewan has in taking on any type of role and making the character come alive in a way few actors can. Ewan's performance gained many fans and attention from the film world, garnering a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor. Be sure to check out the Film section of this site for a complete list of all of Ewan's work.
Getting Personal
Ewan is married to French production designer Eve Mavrakis. They met while working on the TV show Kavannagh QC, where Ewan played a young man accused of rape. They married in France in July of 1995 and have two daughters, Clara Mathilde (born in February of 1996) and Esther Rose (born in November of 2001). They currently live in London. Whenever possible, Ewan takes his family with him on location for each movie he makes.
Ewan owns several motorcycles and is involved with a racing team in England. He has quite the passion for motorbikes. Ewan has stated in the past that he is a huge fan of Oasis and had the pleasure of announcing Oasis' act on the 1996 MTV Video Music Awards with Ewen Bremmer (Spud from Trainspotting) and gave out copies of their 3rd CD to members of the crew while filming the first Star Wars prequel. Despite playing a rock star in Velvet Goldmine, he still has dreams of being one. Starring in Moulin Rouge gave Ewan the chance to sing once again. But don't get him wrong, Ewan loves acting and can't imagine doing anything else. He also claims he would never move to Hollywood or back to his hometown as it is not the same as when he was growing up there.

Ewan visits Crieff whenever he can. He's made trips back to Morrison Academy to give a lecture on acting and to participate in the annual Crieff Highland Games. Ewan is also actively involved in numerous charity organizations and causes, doing his part whenever possible.

The Land of Opportunity… So many view the United States that way… The escape that promises to at least make a decent living while enjoying the skills you’ve got… Well… I have nothing against people’s desires to cross the border… It just is plain funny that we would do anything to go there and they don’t really want us there…
Porto Ricans are good as cannon fodder at wars, and along with other Latinos they are the first ones that are placed in the front line in combat simply because of the heated aggressive Latino nature. Seems gringos are too pampered and weak to be placed on the first row… Or seems they are considered too valuable to be wasted… We all know the effects of war on people… The soldiers at WW2, the soldiers at Vietnam… the ones at Kuwait… Maybe survivors made it, but their lives are changed forever because they were part of murder, and although you kill in self defense, the clash of duty against morals is quite heavy. Nothing that the government rewards to the soldiers can make up for their dark experience… The act of giving a flag to a family so they remember their son/daughter died in combat, for the sake of so-called freedom is like a laugh in your face…
How many times the theme of the political status arises? Being a commonwealth sounds soooo passé… yet that’s what we are… Porto Ricans in turn have lost their true identity. We are considered an alien country when it leads to political advantage… But then we are considered a state because hey… we do a great part in important things because the people from PR are very well educated and are very intelligent. There are portorricans at NASA. Our scientists are the best… The quality of our work is outstanding. True, there are lazy asses that gives us a bad reputation… The funny thing is that the good people who studies and work and grow are the ones that are ignored when making judgments BECAUSE they don’t scream or dance “perreando”. The US doesn’t want us as a state, but they do need us as a source of human capital. We are quite talented, they know it. But they also fear our culture so that may be the main reason for racism.
Racism… You would think, of course! Gringos are racist towards those Negroes! Well, actually they are racist towards anyone who is related to the isle. White Latinos have more than once gone through that process when they mention they are portorricans. I know I have been a victim of racism, and I am not coal black. It angers me that such ignorance exists… Being coal black or ivory white should not be a base of judgment. Race has nothing to do with attitude, interests, personality. Maybe culture influences a person, as well as family shapes your outlook in life… but the color of the skin is vain… I pity those gringos that may be accidentally burned in a fire, for their skin will stop been ivory and will show red… The same red that shows through a Chinese’s skin, or a German’s skin, or a Latino’s skin, or a black’s skin. We are all a book of blood, when we are opened up we are all red inside.
Cultural differences should be treated as an opportunity, not as a treat. Latinos bring warmth to any gringo environment. We bring colors and tastes and music. Sure, we are loud to gringos’ standards, but the loudness has a myriad of shapes. Sure, you mention Latinos and you think salsa, meringue and bachata. But hey, stop and acknowledge that there are Latinos that hate that music and enjoy techno, industrial, alternative, gothic, classical and world music as well. The mixture of German, Spanish, Portuguese and African blood that all portorricans share is perhaps what makes up so open towards other races and cultures, perhaps that’s what makes us unique… And sadly, many people from this small island has forgotten that those roots are within all of us. We are a balance of ideas and shapes and changes… Unique and beautiful.
A pack of bad apples should not be allowed to be the basis of accepting what Porto Ricans are. Our small island has many things that makes us big, that makes the world look at us even if for an instant. Even our natural wonders reflect our diversity and our roots. We have the longest known subterranean river within the Camuy’s caverns complex, we have the perfect naturally shaped mountains that host the Arecibo’s observatory. We have a rainforest in El Yunque, and a dry forest in Guanica. We have bioluminescence in Vieques and Lajas. We have natural thermal waters with healing properties that even United States President Roosevelt seek out in Coamo. Our beaches enchant every tourist because they are really alive, showing colors that go beyond description. Damnit, people! This island is RICH, is BEAUTIFUL, it is UNIQUE… And its people can be hellish, but they can also be the ones that points out miracles in scientific and technological advances.
So… I say that the land of opportunity is right here, waiting to be explored and deployed. I believe a few can change the destinies of many. I believe that we cannot allow ignorance and hate and misunderstanding to win… Sure, we can go and shine anywhere else… But that’s no real challenge if you truly think about it. The challenge is here. And even if perhaps the cash is not the reward, the reward comes in the shape of personal satisfaction, making a difference, harvesting the seeds you sew.
For the record… I do not believe in being independent. I do not believe in being a commonwealth. I do believe in the ideal of being a state. But I also see that the leaders that rule right now are worthless. Being a state means an equality that US won’t give because it is not in their advantage. And finally, the brain chip of “Spanish only” is hard to remove from some Portorrican human hard drives.
Wow... now THAT's a rant! LOL

Haven't we met
You're some kind of beautiful stranger
You could be good for me
I've had the taste for danger
If I'm smart then I'll run away
But I'm not so I guess I'll stay
Heaven forbid
I'll take my chance on a beautiful stranger
I looked into your eyes
And my world came tumbling down
You're the devil in disguise
That's why I'm singing this song
To know you is to love you
You're everywhere I go
And everybody knows
To love you is to be part of you
I've paid for you with tears
And swallowed all my pride...
Da-da-da-dum da-dum da-dum da da da-da dum

Da-da-da-dum da-dum da-dum da da da-da dum
Beautiful stranger
If I'm smart then I'll run away
But I'm not so I guess I'll stay
Haven't you heard
I fell in love with a beautiful stranger
I looked into your face
My heart was dancing all over the place
I'd like to change my point of view
If I could just forget about you
To know you is to love you
You're everywhere I go
And everybody knows
I looked into your eyes
And my world came tumbling down
You're the devil in disguise
That's why I'm singing this song to you
To know you is to love you
You're everywhere I go
And everybody knows
I've paid for you with tears
And swallowed all my pride

Oh, stupid situation about gasoline! How come a small bunch of truck drivers on strike can create such havok and the government is so mild about it? Well, what to expect... All of them deserve to be burned in oil! Damnit! I won't... repeat, I won't go in a stupid line for more than 10 minutes just to get gas. I rather spend my days walking everywhere. People are unpolite on normal days, imagine how they are now... Even during hurricanes people are not so... compulsive... irrational... illogical... Aint Macondo GREAT?
Yesterday Tril called me at work during the afternoon. He was saying he missed me in an oh-so-sweet way. It could have worked a year ago. Sorry, Tril... But I repeat, call me when you grow up. I cant and wont accept a 3rd or 4th place in anyone's heart. Why? I simply dont feel like it.
Today... My office looks organized (yes, have a heartstroke or at least make an Austin Powers leap... It IS organized!). I'm suppossed to throw a cable and move some pc's... My sinus is getting worst by the hour. Last night slept 6 hours (yay!), thanks to a co-worker I have my medicine pills for diabetes (thank you Eunice!) and the Agua de Azahar really REALLY works. Even a big bad roach didn't disturb my cool last night... LOL...
Plans for tonight and the weekend? Well, for tonight I just have to drop the movies that Joe rented on Mon. Will probably go home and do nothing else... For tomorrow there were plans but don't know if they will be disturbed by the Gasoline Incident. Oh, that would be a pity, I really REALLY wanted to visit Caguana. :( Anyway... Lets see what unfolds...

Yesterday spent the whole morning and afternoon throwing boxes of computer stuff from the top of the mountain they made, made inventory of all of them, a list of all damaged stuff and sent everything to a guagua. It should have all shipped today at SJ. Finally, I can actually MOVE in my office… Arrived fairly dead at home. Took a long bath, then browsed the net for some natural versions of pills I need to take… Could not pay anything because my Paypal had access limit… Seems someone tried using it, second time. Their security is very good so far.
LightShadow invited me last night to go see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. So, took some agua de azahar and went with her at 10pm. By midnight, we were out. It was a funny, sarcastic movie. LS was hungry, as well as one of her friends from work, so she treated us to Dennis. They both went with a big breakfast. I was not in hunger mode, but handled a simple sandwich and French fries… I say handled because I was in pain, plus very sleepy from all these sleepless nights, plus tripping because of the agua de azahar… Who knew? If I had known it would have such an effect I would have taken it weeks ago. I just recall going home by 2am, and falling uncontious until the clock’s alarm startled me. I almost cried… Finally, slept 4 hours in a row! That deserves a Wheeeeeeeeeee!
Today, installed two PC’s so far, created an account for the director, and finally got access to make payments I had overdue. Sooo… I hope to get everything by Sat, so I can be back on track emotionally and physically. I need sleep, so I ordered Valerian pills. I need to take some stress out and be happier, and read that a natural answer is Inositol… Will try both. The bitter melon for my diabetes is on its way too. Yipee! Yes, I rather take natural pills that have NO SIDE-EFFECTS and no addictive effects than to go get more chemicals inside my body. I’ll monitor the experiment to see if things work out fine.
Low tide. Calm. I will go home today, burn some incense, take agua de azahar, and go to sleep very early. I need to get at least 12 hours of rest… No news from anyone else. Not feeling too social anyway… All I know is I need rest. Morphine, anyone? LOL

Una noche de resaca
al tratar de despertar
noté que por el ombligo me empezaba a desinflar
que mi cuerpo se arrugaba
como un papel vegetal
e iba pasando, que curioso, al estado gaseoso
y tras la metamorfosis
me sentí mucho mejor
era un aire gris oscuro y con bastante polución
se notaba en cualquier caso
que era aire de ciudad
que si bien no es el más sano, lo prefiero al ser humano
Aire, soñé por un momento que era aire,
oxígeno, nitrógeno y argón,
sin forma definida,ah ah, ni color
fuí aire,he he, volador.
Como yo soy muy consciente
hasta en esta situación,
decidí ser consecuente con mi nueva dimensión
y probé a ser respirado,
por la que duerme a mi lado,
sin entrar en pormenores, yo sé hacer cosas mejores
como no me satisfizo
la experiencia sexual,
se me inflaron los vapores, me convertí en huracán
dí unas tres o cuatro vueltas
y a la quinta me cansé
este cuarto es muy pequeño para las cosas que sueño
Aire, soñé por un momento que era aire,
oxígeno, nitrógeno y argón,
sin forma definida,ah ah, ni color
fuí aire,he he, volador.
Y lo siento por mi novia
y el cristal que me cargué
me escapé por la ventana y en picado me lancé
pero tuve mala suerte
y cuando iba a remontar
me volví otra vez humano no falteís al funeral
Aire, soñé por un momento que era aire,
oxígeno, nitrógeno y argón,
sin forma definida,ah ah, ni color
fuí aire,he he, volador.

Slept one hour if you call that sleeping… I’m falling apart. Came to work out of willpower, but don’t know if I can be of actual help on anything… Raining… Dark pretty day to find death in any corner… Bah, not even it takes me… Feel nothing… better feel rage than nothing… Gotta pin myself with needles to see if the numbness go away… Kitties broke some crystal thing, no real damage done…
The Crying Game: Oldie but goodie… Why is it that old movies have more interesting plots than new ones? Hmmm…
About notes:
Everyone is very mistaken on matters of what I need or what I want. I am not a heartless icy bitch with an iron heart. And what may be seen as tantrums are nothing but the pieces of me melting at the sun's presence. Do not try to measure my needs by your standards, because my needs are based on feelings and emotions, and them both are very alien to you. So your exhibits are not valid in this situation. You don't get it, do you? This toy is broken beyond repair... The attempt to bring in reality into the dephts of my conscience failed. I'm lost, and not even you can see that. Pity may come from lovers, not you. I didn't request that of you. A scorpion could be something else, but his nature shows even in dreams... Bad timing. Bad context. Bad show of force. Sting of the scorpion...
Serial killers and me... the perfect combination.

He said "They will someday realize that they didn't know what they were doing"
And she said "Have you considered the possibility that they actually KNOW very well what they are doing?"
Many lives, many possibilities... But when you do something out of complete belief in hurting those you swore love to... you know what you are doing. Regret is the highest of prices. Do not fall into that realm.

Ok, so it seems that some people actually do not get that yes I can get angry with THEM and without taking out on THEM anything else that is happenning in my life. It is ironic, taking me for granted comes so easily to those that claim to care so much for me… to those whom I consider family. My anger is not misdirected, quite the opposite. I take what they give, but how about giving me some time in the real sense, as a real friend? Sometimes I feel like I am just an imaginary friend. I have no need for kindness. In these times of trouble I have not seen a hand to help me get off the ground. So yes, I am angry. And anger leads to many things. I’ve been off paxil for a week now, and although I’ve been highly emotional I’ve also been balancing every act. And I have been able to unleash the anger that I have inhibited for so long. Don’t claim to be my friend if you cannot at least come to the trouble of seeing my face once every three months. Don’t claim to be my friend when I ask of you a favor as family and you turn your back on me because everyone else is more important NOW than me. Don’t claim to care for me when you constantly put me down and give me a 3rd or 4rth place in your life. I am an afterthought. I am the entertaining center for only when boredom strikes is that all of you people remember me. My despair has not called your attention. You have all left me to bleed on my own. Not even an act of charity… Not even out of pity or mercy.
I know all your little minds, I know all your little thoughts and actions… You think so much of yourselves to actually believe I will go on a rampage against everyone just because I can. No. I have reasons. I have years of reasons for every action I take, for every word I speak. So you don’t like my bitter tongue, fuck you. If you are not strong enough to take all of who I am, you don’t deserve to be around the air that I breathe. I am no victim here. I chose to be kind and gentle and polite and nice and even a bit naïve, out of strong feelings for each and everyone of you. Turns out you all view my emotions as my biggest weakness, my sensibility and compassion as a big flaw. Well, I may be sensible and compassionate and emotional and empathic… but I am not stupid. I am not blind. I see all of you for who you are, for whom you want to play the part, the characdes and double lives you live… You all lead lame lives simply because you are not yourselves in happiness or pain. You have all succumbed to humanity, to what people are, to the norm… You all have dismissed your uniqueness and individuality in exchange of money, recognition, and false idols. In the way, you dismissed your soul. All of you. And in my madness and insanity and anger and what you may call rampage, one thing is certain: I am true to myself. I am who I have always been. I haven’t changed my outlook in life, I haven’t sold my soul just because it is more comfortable or leads to material goals… I may have the loneliest of paths, and have no true friends left… but I am myself everywhere I step, everywhere I stand, everywhere I fall and go up again… I have nothing to regret, I haven’t been bought, and I keep on growing if not in the material aspect at least in the spiritual side. You all have become ignorant and weak, and fear what you cannot understand, and spurn me because of that. So be it. I have nothing to prove to anyone, ESPECIALLY you! The three of you deserve each other. Embrace yourselves.
Newsflash people: I am not the problem. Each one of you are.

The Gift: Powerful acting by Kate Blanchett. Loved it. Esp and suspense. Oh, and a bit depressing. Higly recommended.
Boogeyman: Got tired of watching by the middle of it... 'nuff said.
Fear of the Dark: Not bad, not good. Middlepoint... Iron Maiden's song is much more spooky.
The Shining: Duh! Jack Nicholson. Lovely evil grin. Jack... cherry on top of sunday...
Cirque de Soleil La Nouba: It can only be described with expressions: Wow! (gasp) Wow! It proves humans can do anything... Loved it! Higly recommended!

Illfated attempts to bring Discord into the realms of reality were the display of the day. It all swirled in torment, anger, and so I keep on being slashed again and again and again. But no more. It is in their psyche that tormenting a shadow makes them strong. It is a pretention from my side to think I am so important for all of them, friends and exlovers. I'm a fool for believing and trying to make dreams come true. They all have shredded my belief in them. They all belong to each other. No one has shown compassion for me. No one has stood by my side if only to make me stay on my feet. Everything I have received has been words thrown at me like daggers, piercing my heart and killing my soul. Everything I have been shown is that it has been a parade, a parade in which I have been mocked and laughed at... no mercy at all.
A minion of God's compassion came to me today. An unlikely messenger that did what no one else has... been there with no judgement, and simply holding me for some seconds. It is true, only God is merciful. Only He grants strenght to go on, only His ever presence never leaves you alone. And although His minion went away as suddenly as it arrived, the memory remains bringing a slight smile to these dark days of loss and confusion and death.

I follow the night
Can't stand the light

Why live life from dream to dream?
And dread the day

Thursday: Had a work reunion in San Juan. One of my co-workers is the new Director and the reunion was smooth, to the point. He can do a good job. Thumbs up. I checked openings on HR but no convocatories yet. I'll be pendiente, I want to change my position to one in Marketing or HR or special proyects. We'll see.
No news about the house, will check today in the morning. I think I need a quotation on gabinetes so I'll contact someone for that during the weekend.
Kyonnene is getting go of his masculinity today's morning. Now he can be officially gay. Wheeeeee! Cyric is next, next week. 40 estacas, but they do that plus give a vaccine against parasites and against rabies and viruses. It's worth it. :) Gotta try to take Michita and Roxy for the same vaccine treatment as well. Gotta ask how many years one should way for nex round, so I get Isis, Crow, KAli and Set to take reinforcements as well.
Batman... The movie was perfect. It followed the way the comic spins the tale of Batman's origin, and Gordon was depicted flawlessly. Very cool. No stupid sex scenes. Loved Ra's and Scarecrow. The scene in which he calls his "reinforcements"took my breath away. Just as depicted in so many covers on Detective Comics. Awesome! A MUST see!
Gotta work on a logo for someone's business, maybe I'll start my freelance work with this... Whatever. We'll meet tomorrow to take care of details and to show her some ideas to see which she likes.
Have seen Gruendel Wed & Thu. He sticks to his staying away decision... We've been eating out and visiting Kmart and Pep Boys. And last night we went to see Batman. It's difficult for me to visualize everything from the freinds perspective... I can only be a good sport and play along even if I completely dissagree and dislike it. So... At least we are talking and having fun. The days I haven't seen him or that we haven't met are so boring! Speaking just to kitties ain't funny at all.
Payday! And already everything is gone! Wheeeeee! But it doesn't matter. Who needs money, really?

Made changes to my Hivequeen site. Check it out and let me know if you think its useful. I still have some additions to make to it, but basically everything that interest me is there. www.geocities.com/hivequeen2000 The link is in the sidebar, just click the Hivequeen icon. :)
This day seems like a busy one... We'll see. Yesterday made some calls about the house matter. We will do things as we were, and file in for the Llave help aid. Then we must wait for THEIR decision on how much cash they will aprove. Happy happy joy joy... Hopefully it will be more than 9 thousand, thats just the limit of the amount I need them to aprove. Fingers crossed. If it is for me, it will happen. If not... a nice voyage in December will be scheduled...
Tropical storm on the horizon... may be a hurricane... only God knows. Emily. Hopefully it won't cross the island... It's bad timing for such a thing...

Night. Mute. Missing. Tired. Angry. Desperate. Breaking. Empty. Lonely. Alone. Begginning. Ending. Silent. Quiet. Stillness. Death. Change. Dream. Faith. Gone. Love.
Always Love...
Always.
Los suspiros son aire, y van al aire.
Las lágrimas son agua, y van al mar.
Dime, mujer: cuando el amor se olvida,
¿sabes tú adónde va?
-XXXVIII,G.A.Becquer
Mi vida es un erial:
flor que toco se deshoja;
que en mi camino fatal,
alguien va sembrando el mal
para que yo lo recoja.
-LX, G.A.Becquer
¿De dónde vengo?... El más horrible y áspero
de los senderos busca.
Las huellas de unos pies ensangrentados
sobre la roca dura;
los despojos de un alma hecha jirones
en las zaras agudas,
te dirán el camino
que conduce a mi cuna.
¿Adónde voy? El más sombrío y triste
de los páramos cruza:
valle de eternas nieves y de eternas
melancólicas brumas.
En donde esté una piedra solitaria
sin inscripción alguna,
donde habite el olvido,
allí estará mi tumba.

I need more time than what I expected, because things are not working out well. Someone thinks that playing just for friendship is an easy game, and its not. Everything gets to me, everything hurts in every way. I gave it a try. From constant presence to this is almost unbearable. And to know everything was a lie is more than I can bear. My best friend, you cannot help me this time, because you are the source of my pain... and I cannot open my soul to you because you get enraged... You think I am attacking you, and I am not... How can we help each other this way? I wish feelings had a switch, so I could turn them off completely. But they are a big part of me. And right now, I am at a loss... I never expected such a lie from you... I build everything around that lie... Now, I have to internalize a truth that seems so alien, unreal... I don't know anything anymore. I don't know what can survive from this. I don't know how much time will be enough... I just don't know...
Phantom of the Opera: Powerful voyage that I loved dearly. Coriolis was right once more, a striking movie... The misic leaves you on the edge, and wanting more. Although it is sad... Why can't anyone fall in love with the scarred? Why it is such a tale in almost every movie? If I had a Phantom in my life, I wouldn't hesitate to be his. But I guess thats just me, the weird one.

Movie review for this weekend:
Dark Water: Sucky movie. A bit of suspense, not horror! Why they keep calling mild suspense horror! Damnit!
Inmortal:Egyptian mythos meets futuristic world... sort of... Bast plays monopoly and a horny god wants to leave a child before dying... Interesting, but the mix of live action and CGI doesnt work well.
Alone in the Dark: If I wanted to see an alien I would rent Alien. The creatures are not demons, just a bad rip-off of what an Alien is... Slow motion action movie, weak plot and bad acting... They could have done something better... Worst than QotD.
Infection: A japanese horror flick. In the tradition of how they portray the illnesses of society... A hospital from hell, in which ethics turned dirty ARE the real illness... Cool flick. Highly recommended.
Phantom of the Opera: Will see it tomorrow, but have to say this... I felt insulted when the guy at the video store told me "This is an opera". I said u-huh and he repeated the same sentence. I said I know and he said "Well, since you have 3 horror films... just letting you know"... Ok... So basically, based on our appearance I cannot like operas? Gimme a break!
Washed my hair. Caressed my kitties. Relax-release. I am not trying to be a drama queen here. I just pour my soul here whenever I am angry, sad, frustrated, pissed... even sometimes you can get some happy remarks if you browse carefully... But since my mood the last 2 weeks has been the pits, people... bear with me. I am not suicidal, I am not neglecting myself, I am taking care of my kitties, I'm working and I am continuing my projects. I am not stale or stuck in self pity. I just say what I feel because that is who I am, and in here I can write what my soul feels... and put the words that my mouth dare not say in the proper way... Here my thoughts take a concrete shape, and ideas that were blurred become real. This is my therapy. This is my psychiatrist. This is my psicosis.
I dont hate Groundel for being honest, or for leaving my roof, or for going on with his life without me. But I have a right for complaining about it, 7 years give me that right. And if I feel this is a wrong decision, I have to say it, I have to SCREAM it: THIS IS WRONG!!!! There... And no, I dont feel better because I just screamed it... it solves nothing... but at least I release that energy from myself when noone else can hear me... Because it seems no one can really understand why I am like this... Because it is so hard to believe that YES, I DO LOVE GROUNDEL! SO WHAT! I travelled to try patching things up, which didnt work... And I have put up with many things to try to make things work... But... It takes 2 to tango, and if he doesnt think we can make it THEN we cant make it. ANd GROUNDEL, THIS IS A BIG MISTAKE!!! But, ok... I can be my bipolar self, be proper and nice and polite... No one will ever love you as I do. But of course, you already know that... Anyway... I am your friend forever... Just understand that I dont see you making this decision out of your on will... Somehow others press you into this... And thats what I hate most.
On with the show. I will smile. I have nothing to regret. I have much to do. I wish for love... true love... someday knocks at my door. That matter is in Gods hands, as I will not look for it. I'm tired of looking. I will go on a long hibernation... so I try to heal... and hopefully I will wake up to the truest Spring of my life. I dont know where I am going from now on... But I am fightress and so... I stand to defy the storm. Let it come!

How I feel, as of today? Alone with myself, with my feelings, with the truth that I still dismiss as a nightmare… Playing charades ain’t easy, because I show what I feel regardless of circunstances. Blunt show off of the strings that are no more is insensible and thoughtless… I get hurt too often for my own taste, although I try to numb emotions and just go with the flow… It is hard… I’ve been asked to accept that what was was a big nothing and it feels unacceptable… irrational… wrong. All I can think of is Why and although my logic says forget and go on, my heart says it cannot be, that it is all lies that he believes himself, that he’s been turned against me by those who hate me. I find no more explanations within my self. I feel lost, and this sickening bleeding wont stop… In letting go, the thorns have taken more than just blood… they have ripped the skin, tearing it from muscles and bones… In letting go, I have killed my heart. I'm expected to smile in spite of tears, to play along as if nothing happenned, to stop feeling because it is as easy as triggering a trap... I'm expected to forget cofee in the morning, playing with the kitties, cuddling up to watch some anime or play the Sims, taking goth pics just because we felt like it, driving through the isle because we could... I'm expected to erase all these years of starting sentences that he ended, of starting thoughts that he predicted, of guiding plans that he executed... I'm expected to be there because I am as strong as a mountain, as maleable as water, as free as the wind... Underneath it all I am fire... and fire is voracious, constantly raging, constatly fueling its thoughts and dreams and desires... And when fire must be contained, it ain't easy... it usually ends up in a fatality... As right now. Some words hurt more than a thousand actions. Some thoughts will never be, as some dreams simply faded as nevermore... Growing old together... The safe haven we shared... The promises to be completed and sustained... The commitment that was broken... I am expected to swallow up everything as it never happenned, as we start from that lovely voyage in which friends decided to help each other... These 7 years never happenned... The tears I have shed never happenned... The love I gave without boundaries never happenned... The truth I gave without thinking twice, never happenned. This is how I feel... as the last years of my life have been mercilessly torn away from me, as they were dissipated without a second thought... I feel I was nothing. I feel I failed to see bare truth in my thirst for belief. I feel used and thrown away as an old toy that lost its luster... I feel abandoned to my fate, because of no other reason but selfishness, because it is very comfortable to run from problems instead of solving them. I feel I was not important enough, I was not woman enough,... I was not enough...
I am to shed tears that only my pillow can caress away. I am to hold on to my shadow and comfort myself with my endless love for me. I am to find strenght from my convictions and dreams and actions... But how... I feel so weak... I feel so battered... I am to cry at night until I have no more tears left, to scream silently until the sound deafens my senses, to bury myself in the world so my corpse can feed the worms and be no more... I want to be no more... My last dissapointment.
Do not even dare to ask how I feel, because I will hit you... I will hit you with all the strenght I have left... And I will draw your blood and feast on it. So in your final seconds, it is me who you see, it is me who you feel... It is me whom you belong. Forever.

Been trying to solve issues at work and about the house. Why is it that whenever things are lay out simple and clear something ALWAYS happens to make things for me utterly difficult? I mean, in my life, EVERYTHING has been a struggle for me. Nothing has ever come easily or as a reward for my efforts… I know that perhaps it is too much to ask, but why cant things go smoothly just for once? Am I asking for too much? Yup, misery loves company.
I’m slowly falling in place with the current situation. Make lemonade with the lemons. I’m still a bit shaken and shedding hair… but I know I can survive anything. I feel nothing anymore. Seems that what I thought was real was a mirage. Nevermind the drama. Another disappointment for the record. I gave a deadline for things… it’s still on. I know it myself, and that’s enough. I suspect that there’s more to just thinking things on the other side. My trust is lagging again, and the toll of so many days is starting to dig a grave. I thought that at least for one person I meant the world… I was dead wrong. Still waiting, for answers, for a renewal of hope… But each passing day those probabilities get thinner… For whom the bell tolls?
Need a decent sleep… but I guess I can only get THAT when I die. Keep waking up every hour. That sucks. You wake up in the morning even more tire than if you slept 4 consecutive hours… Another weekend approaches… Hurray, hurray… At least the kitties will be happy with the company.
I'm horrifyed about the London bombing. Last year it was Madrid... And there's a menace for Denmark and Italy. Sometimes it seems safer to live in a small spot in the Caribbean... Why so much hate? Why so much destruction? Isn't it enough with the natural horrors like the Tsunami to take so many innocent lives? How can killing be justified as an order from God? It makes me wonder if they REALLY read the Bible, because in any continent... any race, any belief, anyone with common sense even an atheist can tell that if you read the Bible it talks about a God that is just, a God that is LOVE. No nation is better than the other. We are all One. Earth is so small when compared with so many planets, with the Universe! People, don't you know by now? LOVE is the way! Love is the ONLY way!

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
And think of you
Caught up in circles confusion -
Is nothing new
Flashback - warm nights -
Almost left behind
Suitcases of memories,
Time after -
Sometimes you picture me -
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear
What you've said -
Then you say - go slow -
I fall behind -
The second hand unwinds
If you're lost you can look - and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you - I'll be waiting
Time after time
After my picture fades and darkness has
Turned to gray
Watching through windows - you're wondering
If I'm OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time -
If you're lost you can look - and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you - I'll be waiting
Time after time
You said go slow -
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds -
If you're lost you can look - and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you - I'll be waiting
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after...

It is a conspiracy so I don’t sleep. I finally closed my eyes around 2am, and after getting some z’s for a while I felt something in my face. In my dream state I pushed it away, my unconscious self always assuming a cat is around… But I also felt small tiny legs. I woke up suddenly, thinking it was a spider. As I turned on the light, I spotted the intruder. No, not a spider… A big roach. The mother of roaches! I was so disgusted, and mad! My minions spotted the intruder at once, and set themselves on destroying mode. Agent Michita was the first one to persue and strike, hitting the target on the spot. Agent Cyric and Kyonne followed, torturing the victim, dismembering it, until it was no more! Ok, yes, so I enjoyed how my kitties saved me from the big bad roach… So what! Hmph! Well, needless to say… no more sleep… (shrug)
Called Groundel yesterday. He’s alive. Still with ghosts in his head, but alive. Haven’t heard from Coriolis, hope he wasn’t abducted in Ponce… Lucinda mentioned she would appear at home but lost the way… And auntie is still the best cook I know. :D
I’m beyond zombifyed by now… Slept a little, around 2-3 hours each day… It’s an improvement, sort of… Still, I’m VERY tired. Need to catch z’s… but the world doesn’t want me to… Only the good die young…

Monday. It's been 7 days and 8 hours, but who's counting. Finally took the advice and stopped calling/trying to see me... If he's gonna take such vacations from me it should be all the way not halfway. Anyway... I honestly hope this will be over soon. It is killing me slowly. I absolutely hate not having him around. I miss him dearly.
On Friday LS woke me up to go see War of the Worlds. The movie is viasually stunning, keeps you in the edge of the seat with a feeling of hopelessness... It is ok, but it should not have been called WotW because you just dont get to see the war actually happenning. Tom Cruise's acting is lame ( I persnally think that the only character in which he deserves praise is Lestat). The girl steals the show. And the movie has absolutely nothing to do with the novel. Besides the facts, it's good way to kill time. Much better than Queen of the Damned.
On Sat had the brilliant idea to get some scrapbooking pages... As I did, I left my car's keys inside the car. So... It was an odyssey to get the keys out. 3.5 hours later I got a hold on Lucinda, who drove me to my auntie's to get my spare key. Ok... That was as much excitement as I could handle at the moment... Went to see el calvo so he would get a look at the chandellier and tell me if it is ok. When I arrived home I realized I left my purse at el calvo's home... Ugh! Will try to get it back today.
Sunday I slept a bit during the day (all these days I've been sleeping just 1-2 hours and it's starting to tax me). Went to get some food at auntie's and then headed back home. Didn't felt like handling people, and still feeling nauseous. Scrapbooked until the wee hours of the morning since I had insomnia, again.
Today... I'm supposed to go help the owner of the house paint some unpainted evil spots, so it doesn't look so bad when taking pics of the place. It should be on the morning (yup, that explains why I am here at this time). I should be back home in the afternoon... don't feel like going anywhere, will go to the house painting bash because it's a duty...
Feeling: Sick, nauseous, weak, tired, sleepy. Got a headache, my eyes bother me, and cant eat/drink anything. Emotinally I'm still feeling awful... hurt, isolated, with no understanding of reasons or why... anxious, stressed...
I have many things to do. The problem is I dont feel the will to do anything. Why wont you stop this torment? Ahhh! Whatever.
Nevermore.

Friday. Beginning of July. Feeling completely mad. Days are passing way too fast for my own taste, my lack of sleep is leaving me with too many mind blanks, and circunstances are disturbing and sucky. I am drained, tired, jaded, fed up, hopeless, zombifyed... I wish he would stop the nonsense and would just go back and face things as he should, not just running away. The easy way out is never the right way out... He is letting days pass in a way that will hurt us forever. And I am suppossed to keep belief in friendship and hope and the like... I've got no illusions left within me. And hope can only be kept with faith and belief... A no-win situation, perhaps... I wish things would not have gone this far, especially thanks to a random event that had no deep meaning. Stubburnness, false freedom, lack of insight... it will only lead us to our doom. But he doesn't see that. He doesn't even think that. Death is inminent.
If I had wings I would go to the lands where Earthmother would nurture me and grant me the warmth of her open arms... If I could breathe fire I would burn all enemies once and for all. If I had the power to wish, I would wish for love. But fantasy and reality are such different things!
Hollow... Empty... A void of dreams and will and thoughts and shades... How I miss the bliss of your presence... the certainty... the strenght... Running in circles is the worst fate that any being can have... And so a pathway towards eternity is spoiled...
