It's funny how life works, a week ago I was visiting a dear friend in Valparaiso, disconnecting myself from everything back at home, just trying to live day to day and enjoying the relaxed environment in a city where everything seems to move slower or at a different pace, a city where I discovered my inner self and at the same time helped me to broaden my mind.
During my stay in Valparaiso I received two job offers, the first one was just an interview, wasn't that important though, and the second was a real offer; they wanted me to be the interpreter in a business and technical meeting. Due to those two reasons I had to come back to Stgo to prepare myself for the upcoming interpretation. I gather all the relevant(technical) information and I inmerse myself into an extrange but interesting topic. I spent almost 12 hours reaserching and studying to be ready for the job (I think is important to mention that it was my first interpretation) .
The moment arrived and I was ready, sitting in the lobby waiting for my "boss". After waiting 20 minutes, destiny came into play. The person I was supposed to interpret did not speak English at all so I had to go back to my house.
I got paid anyway which is good, but I would have loved doing that interpretation.
I can't complain cuz it is what it is

JEdi mind tricks
wow, don't know where to start, i am just writing what comes out of my head with no filter whatsoever. life has been good, not as good as i would like, but i cant complain. As you already know, i don't have a job,( steady job) because is not in me, i will have to have one someday, but not now. Last year I worked for a University teaching English of course, but the project ended so now I'm between jobs, a quite common situation in my life which allows me to decipher all kinds of emotions and feelings that go thru my body.
Today i heard some news that took me aback and got me thinking. i've been wondering what kind of structure or set of rules we have for situations like this. i use the word "rules" to represent mental instructions we give ourselves to deal with situations which can cause some uneasiness, or lack of comfort in our normal day to day.
The first thing that came to my mind was the mental stability of the person. One can be easily affected by things if ones mental state is damaged or weak. But who can claim that they have a perfect state of mind, i dont think anyone can do it, so how do we deal with the situation. In my opinion , mind can be trained to withstand such moments, in fact I believe that we have trained the mind our whole life. It's like the movie inception where u can train your brain to repel unwanted things, we create our own panic rooms inside the brain which give us some sort of security (mental).
As I was saying, mental structure is important, however, there are other factors involved.
The emotional aspect is one of them and it can't be left aside. No matter how analytic one thinks one is there are some emotions that can't be handle as soon as they appear, one of them being hate. when u are overwhelmed by emotions your analytic side completely disappears and you helpless once again. emotions can be hard to control, and we all know there is a big amount of crimes committed under the "influence " of this "natural Drugs calls emotions". But then again, the emotional side can be trained, u can't say you haven't heard the term emotionally impaired, well that's not the solution but is cool. The real solution is to identify the emotion you are feeling and then deal with it. of course is easier said than done but is a start.
well I got nothing else to say, I think I ran out of mental fuel if I ever had some
it is what it is.

There are times I wonder if what I lived with you was real. I know it sounds weird but occasionally I think that might have been just a glimpse of what my life could be with you, or could have been, yup, could have been cuz there is no you and me now, and there will never be. I believe that destiny plays games on us, showings us just a piece a great movie, and when you think that everything is ok, the fucker kills the main character and fucks everything up.
Fuck you destiny.
Fuck you destiny.

Unique
the other day i was talking to someone and she said something to me that really got me. after that I started thinking bout it and I came up with this weird idea.
What is to belong, to be part of something,?
Most people try hard as fuck not to be common , to be different, To Be UNIQUE, but most of them make a big mistake, they always try to be part or at least be identified with a group, and obviously, once you do that you are not unique because you are adopting manners, and other things from that group.
What really strikes me are the reasons why we try to be unique or why we try to be part of a group. I think society has big role in this. We are every day in front of a computer or TV screen with images telling us what to buy, how to act in certain situations, what to do if you want to be successful in life and a bunch of other things and when people are weak, they fall for it.
On the other hand when you are against it you become part of that other group who see themselves as unique human beings, ( and they aren't cuz there a bunch of guys and girls doing the same thing while trying not to be common).
Is it that bad to be similar to someone else, to be common? or is just a way of dissaproving the current system which makes us feel like bricks inna wall. replaceable objects without minds.

Back Again
It’s been a couple of months since the last time I wrote something, I can give you a lot of reasons for it, but honestly, I would not know for sure which one is real.
Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about my future, not just because I am worried about it, it is something else, and something I can explain. Maybe I’m getting old and I think that I need to do something important with my life; maybe I think I need to be successful.
After new year’s everyone was asking about my plans for the future and I got tired of making shit up, the truth is that I have no freaking clue of what to do with the present and these people want me to know what to do with my future; I mean , give me a break. I can admit that I have some ideas of what to do, but no more than that.
These ideas come from everywhere and unfortunately all of them have a requirement in common: MONEY. I know that I have to work - I am working – but somehow I manage to find jobs that I know won’t last for long or when I do find a steady job, I get bored ; therefore leaving it seems a pretty good idea.
Don’t get me wrong, I have a kind of radar to find jobs; I have no difficulty at that whatsoever, and I enjoy working as long as is not permanent.
Going back to my “future” I have laid out a plan to go abroad and work, I have been thinking about going to Canada in a special work and travel program (which I think is a cool idea). My family and friends tell me that is cool and that I should do it, and most likely I will if I don’t find anything else.
Another idea is to apply for the “special police force” here in my country (idea that has been in my head for at least 3 years), and of course there is a But : I love weed even though I don’t smoke it regularly and most of my acquaintances are under some kind of illegal substance.
And the last idea (I know is not recommended to begin a paragraph with an interjection but who really cares) is to study abroad, I have been searching for universities in Europe but that is just an idea that has not been developed yet.
Oh! and last but not least ( I know I said last before) I want to study again in a Chilean university and this week I will start studying for the university entrance test ( that will also help me for the police force test). This might be the weakest idea just for the fact that I am close to turn 30 and 4 years of study will have a great impact in my chances of getting a job after finishing university once again.
As you can see, I have no fucking clue, but as we all know
It Is What It Is.

Running Away
This weekend I'll be out of town and I'm looking forward to seeing my friends and Family but at the same time I have realized that I'm running away from my memories ( impossible) to try to get some mental sanity.
I don'd feel like writing to much
so this is it
It is what it is
