A smashing reality

I cracked my head open a couple of months ago. Three stitches on my forehead, bruises and a sore body.
Today, all that's left is a Harry Potter scar I've learned to ignore and disguise with make-up. The doctor said it'll go away with time.

Time heals all wounds.

It better be true.

Today, I ran into this annoying dude who thinks TOO much of himself.
He used to wear tight skinny jeans... burgundy and mustard color skinny jeans. Ugh!!
We I used to make fun of him and his accent. And his teeth... pfff!! disgusting. How can anyone like something like that!?!?!

Today I ran into him. He was wearing skinny jeans.

Dark blue skinny jeans.

... and a super tiny tight Batman t-shirt.

I wanted to take a picture and send it to someone to share the laughs, but then again... dead people don't talk.

And once again, I smashed my face against reality.

I wonder how many stitches will my brain and my heart need to get used to a reality that's getting too hard to get used to.

Nemo goes rogue

This past Friday two guy-friends, D and G, took Shelley and I out to play pool because they were going to teach us how to... or so they thought.


Mafe wins the fist game:

Well, look at you! you learn fast. Congratulations!!
Yay me!!!!!


Mafe wins the second game by fantasy-jumping for the 8-ball ...

You... are... a... SHARK!!!
Say whaaaaat??!?!
You're a "Pool Shark"
What are you talking about? I'm a baby guppy.
"Pool Shark"...as a horribly good player that pretends NOT to know how to lower everyone else's guard.

Nah... beginner's luck.

Beginner's luck could get you a couple of dollars... this just got you 2 glasses of wine, a cocktail, a mega burger, chicken wings, french fries, ice cream and cheesecake. You are a SHARK.


Mafe wins the third game:

Be honest, how long have you been playing?
[sigh]... My dad and my grandfather taught me when I was six and we had a Pool table at the Summer house. My sisters and I use to trick people into thinking they could beat us, also, when I was in College always won to---
I KNEW IT!!! GIVE ME BACK MY MEGA BURGER!!!
Dude, I won, fair and square. You guys wanted to teach little ol' me... you never asked if I knew how to play.
That's the exact meaning of the expression "Pool Shark": draw us in and then bite our heads off!
Don't be a cry baby. Next game: all or nothing. What do you say??
You're on.


And right after I won the forth game...

Duuuuuude!!
Don't... no.... not.... NO! get away from me. Don't talk to me.
Pffffffffff!!! How is that name that you want to call me? Nemo?
No. No. No. No... I am Nemo. You are Moby Dick!!
That's a whale, not a sha---- WAIT!! ARE YOU CALLING ME FAT?!?!
Ohhhh-nononononono! I'M THE VICTIM HERE!!

La Casa - The House

I dreamed about this song a couple of weeks ago... which is funny because last weekend I found an old iPod that's been sitting on a drawer for months now and this song was one of the few there.

This is useless. Here comes a sleepless night...

I'll have to sell this house,

because every single person that walks by

asks me about her owner.

I'm going to sell it cheap,

I don't need it anymore,

I have a new one.

I'll sell it cheap.

I only think how long it stood,

the sacrifices we went through, all the pain.

How did that ungrateful woman with no feelings walked-away?

Leaving our love nest to die?

I feel young, still.

The pain will not defeat me.

I know God takes care of men,

and I swear on my own name,

I'll overcome this.

I need find myself a young girl,

that doesn't know what happened and learns to love me. 

That understands that a ring is not necessary anymore,

that marriage is not the only key to joy.

Smokin' destiny

Today I drove pass by the place I used to live a couple of years ago, it was in flames.
It felt... weird.
I should've seen it coming.
It should've happen a couple of months ago as a warning sign.

Lucrecia'ing (i)

Listen sweetheart... you know I love you, right?
The fact that we spent Winter and Spring riding 20 miles twice a week shows how much I love you.

I know the accident two months ago was 100% my fault. I know, I know, I know... I KNOOOOOOW!!!!
Let's face it, MY face took all the shock and, well... yours didn't.
As you can see I've been wearing my helmet every single time we get together.

I know I shorten your name, but trust me, having ONE name will make your life simpler.
Big gave your sister Leia a key chain so she could be twinsies with her brother Luke, can't blame them.
It's not my fault Big doesn't ride a bike so he doesn't have a brother for you... but you see? you're unique!!

Luke belongs to Mr Big.

Leia's mine.

I know these past weeks I've been driving Leia more than I've been riding you, but listen sweetie, it's not you or her, it's me. It's all me.
Going to work at 7.30am may be cool for both of us but leaving the lab at 1 in the morning the next day is not only not healthy for me, but dangerous for you and me both.
Yes, we got you some cute blinking lights that make you look like a Christmas tree with wheels but it's not you, it's the riding by myself late at night that creeps me out.

I promise this week I'll leave the lab before 10pm so we can leave together and have some girl time, deal?

To make things up, I'll get you that ladybug bell we saw on-line the other day. I promise.

A broken girl from another planet

I call one of my closest friends: "Martian sister", and she calls me "Baby martian". She's 2 years older than I am hence, the baby part.

We went to college together; then she and her husband moved to Cincinnati, then I joined them and we became a family.
They were like my older brother and sister. Now they're back in Colombia and I'm not.

I miss them.

For my birthday she TXT'd me, send me pics of her kitties. Later that day we talked and...

Are you sitting down baby Martian? I have something to tell you.
Don't scare me. Are you ok?
I have a new marital status.
What are you talking about?
Divorced.
What the fuck?!?!?!?!
Yeah, I know.
Are you ok?
As ok as I can be... not like you, I'm sure.
Meaning?
You're still feeling, aching, hurting... in love maybe?
I don't know gurl. An information overflow rebooted the system.
See? you're still recovering from last year. Me? I don't know.

And we are different because...

I'm broken.

Broken?
I don't feel anything. I'm broken. I'm not in love anymore, or sad, or... or anything. I'm sleeping better because I think I'm ok with all this being over. I don't feel anything so I believe I'm broken.
You're not broken. Every relationship is different. It's chemistry. That's all.
But you know what I really miss?
Shoot.
He was my best friend. He's the one I told all my secrets and fears, and stupid stories. We have so many inside jokes it's horribly annoying! I trusted him with my life and my mind on a heartbeat. He was a pushing and pulling force me when needed, but most of the time he was just by my side. He was the best adviser. I miss talking with him... Oh man!! I miss THAT, I miss our talks!! I miss my best friend.
We're not different then.
