Choose life.

It's been so long... I haven't written in English for several months.  However, I've been thinking a lot.

Sometimes we have to be another person to be happy...

I would like to begin this entry with a quote by Mark Renton (Trainspotting) one of the best movies I've ever seen.




 Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suit on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourselves. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?

Firstly, I've never been in drugs but I think that he is considering life in all senses when he enumerates that stuff.
I'm sure that it is not the best entry, perhaps it is one of the worst entries I've ever written. 

However,  as I see it, every entry describes a moment in my life and this very moment is full of confusion and so gray so I don't know what I want, I don't see future. Pretty sad but I'm being honest.  
I've chosen life before developing my way of thinking. I've chosen a career. I've chosen my family. I'm trying to have good health.  I've chosen my friends (not so many, but enough.) 
While I'm writing this text full of nonsense I'm choosing my future. 

Finally, there's one thing that I've never chosen: Love. I'm not talking about unconditional love like the one I have for my family and friends.
I mean love, a man to love.  Maybe my life is full of confusion because I'm not taking decisions, I'm just thinking.  Sometimes I think that "the man" will appear and I won't notice him. Perhaps I'm thinking too much and feeling too little.  

Perhaps we need more time. Perhaps you are there but I don't see you.  Choose me.

Monologo de Ser o No Ser (Hamlet ~ William Shakespeare)

Ser o no ser: esa es la cuestión. ¿Qué enaltece más al espíritu: tolerar los golpes y dardos de la injuriosa Fortuna, o alzarse contra un mar de calamidades, y haciéndoles frente, acabar con ellas? Morir..., dormir,... nada más. Y suponer que con un sueño podemos poner fin al dolor en el corazón y a las mil conmociones naturales que la carne ha heredado... Este sería un final para anhelar devotamente. Morir..., dormir... ¡Dormir!... Tal vez soñar... Sí, ese es el incoveniente; porque necesariamente vacilamos ante los sueños que vendrán con ese sueño de muerte, una vez liberados del torbellino de la vida. Es este mismo pensamiento el que prolonga los días de infortunio. Porque ¿quién soportaría los azotes y los insultos de este mundo, los abusos del opresor, las afentas del soberbio, los tormentos de un amor desairado, la dilación de la justicia, la insolencia del poder y los desprecios que el paciente mérito recibe del indigno, cuando uno mismo podría encontrar la paz en...

One day

Hoy tuve la dicha de disfrutar otra película de mi querida actriz Anne Hathaway,  como Emma y  Dexter (Jim Sturgess)  la historia recorre 20 años en sus vidas desde el momento de su graduación en la Universidad. Ellos se conocen el 15 de julio de 1988, y a partir de esa fecha prometen volver a verse cada año para saber como continúa el rumbo de sus respectivas vidas. Por un lado, Emma es una chica trabajadora con principios, decencia, actitud y con pasión por la escritura. Por otro lado, Dexter es un chico de clase alta, mujeriego que por el momento no comparte las mismas ambiciones que Emma. Durante esos años ellos sellan una hermosa amistad.  Los años comienzan a transcurrir y los cambios comienzan a atravesar sus vidas. Emma es solitaria, los primeros años luego de graduarse trabaja en un bar mexicano, allí conoce a Ian, que por unos años será la pareja, el hombre con quién convive pero no ama. Ian, es comediante para esa época pero...  años después él es...

Dexter's interview

It was written and published 17 years ago... ( Note this is an interview in the Hungarian version of the German newspaper BRAVO. This was made around the summer of ’95 when Noodles just had his cut bald, and Self Esteem, was a No.1 hit all over the world.) 1) Bravo: You don't like cigarette smoke? Dexter: I hate it!!! I fight a lot about this with the others. Cigarette smoke smells terrible and ruins your vocal cords. I used smoke in high school, but only because it was prohibited. But I got off it years ago. 2) Bravo: And what do you think about alcohol and drugs? Dexter: We all used to drink more, but since we're on tour I hardly drink any alcohol - maybe a beer. But we're never drunk. I couldn't produce 100% on stage, with alcohol . I have nothing to say about drugs, I'd be better off dead, than to ever use drugs. I watched two of my best friends literally burn their minds to scum, with cocaine and heroin. In the end they couldn't even speak no...
