(review) Juan Pablo Lobos en el Cevaz

2006-03-04T20:31:00.000-04:00

Este Jueves que pasó (02-Marzo-2006) se presentó Juan Pablo Lobos en el CEVAZ...

Este es el "afiche" promocional:

Acá está el de su página oficial JuanPabloLobos.com:

Hay varias cosas que quiero incluir acá. Voy a comenzar con la entrevista que le hicieron la gente de panorama. Mencionó que es importante que se expresen las distintas expresiones musicales, que el músico que quiera salir adelante que no le tenga miedo a las producciones y a las grabaciones; que un elemento clave es tener contactos con los músicos indicados.

Algo que quiero incluir acá es el 'folleto' donde hay una pequeña bio de él y el repertorio que interpretó.

Voy a ir editando este post. Para comentar rápidamente, llegué 5 minutos antes de la hora indicada, vacío... fui a comprar la entrada ante una muchacha que me estaba ignorando hasta que le dije "HEY que te pasa?" o algo así... 5 minutos pasados las 7pm y ya habiamos +10 personas; pude disfrutar de la conversación con la gente cercana porque teniamos mentalidad en común y además eramos todos guitarristas.

En fin, el auditorio estaba seriamente lleno a eso de las 7.20pm. El concierto comenzó a eso de las +7.30pm.

Ok aquí sería donde incluyo el repertorio de las canciones.

La interpretación de la 2da guitarra de Remczy Márquez me gustó bastante porque se noto que le puso pasión y le gustaba lo que estaba tocando.

Hubo varias canciones que nunca había escuchado.

Al final salió Ramón el cantante de La Sombra 4.0 e interpretaron una canción sobre Sexo y cosas por el estilo... no me acuerdo del nombre. Reviso la página de La Sombra 4.0 y de una lo coloco acá... ajá... se llama "Licencia Para Matar". La página del grupo es http://www.lasombra4.com

No sé porque siempre pienso que cuando voy a un toque de rock voy a conocer muchas chicas solteras y de mi edad. Y nunca lo hago. Es un ciclo de ilusión y desilusión continua... sniff sniff...

Ok me faltaría transcribir la información del folleto y comentar que en medio de una canción a Juan se le rompió una cuerda de su guitarra. El ritmo de la música se mantuvo y de hecho lo disfruté bastante el bajo y la guitarra rítmica... muy groovy... en fin... luego de probar 2 guitarras, a la tercera fue que la conectó y afinó y siguió el show... comenté que me gustó haber visto ese "verguero" de guitarras... (Risas generales)

Continuará...

Repertorio
1.Intro (Juan Pablo Lobos)
2.The Extremist (Joe Satriani)
3.Rockeando el Café (Juan Pablo Lobos)

4.Crying Machine (Steve Vai)
5.Cristal Planet (Joe Satriani)
6.Improvisación (Juan Pablo Lobos)
7.For the love of God (Steve Vai)
8.Jump (Van Halen)

11.Erotic Nightmares (Steve Vai)

Músicos Invitados:
Carlos Jaramillo / Batería
Remczy Márquez / 2da Guitarra
Angel Mavares / Bajo
Jonathan Patiño / 2da Guitarra

La última canción (penúltima en realidad) Erotic Nightmares fue 'bien'... porque en varias partes de la canción puntearon en sincronismo Jonathan Patiño (quien se encargó de reparar la guitarra a la que se le rompió la cuerda) y Juan Pablo Lobos, sonaba muy estéreo y enbelezado el sonido de la guitarra.

Presentó a su hija para la canción "Sofía" y también presentó a sus padres.

Ok ahora me quedaría por incluir la bio que estaba en el folleto...

Continuará...

Nace en Chile el I de Junio de 1974 en la población de Coquimbo, IV Región. Llega a Venezuela a los dos años de edad, en 1976. Se inicia en el campo musical en 1992 motivado por el fuerte movimiento del género rock de ese momento, tomando la guitarra como su instrumento. Adquiere sus primeros conocimientos de teoría y solfeo en el conservatorio de música José Luis Paz de la Secretaría de Cultura del estado Zulia y de manera autodidacta incursiona en técnicas de guitarra eléctrica como Tapping, Sweep-picking, strings-skipping, velocidad y diversas variaciones de alta exigencia, llevándolo a formar varias agrupaciones musicales de versiones y temas originales que aportaron a la vida musical de Maracaibo y otras ciudades de Venezuela y el extranjero, en las uqe recibía la aceptación del público al ejecutar sus estudios de improvisación. Se desarrolla además en la docencia impartiendo clases a niños y adolescentes, ayudándolos en el desarrollo de técnicas de guitarra eléctrica. En el 2002 forma su nuevo proyecto musical llamado "La Sombra", agrupación con la que ha desarrollado sus composiciones y con la cual actualmente graba su primer larga duración. Paralelamente, en el 2005, se integra a la agrupación zuliana Voz Veis, iniciando giras nacionales e internacionales. Ese mismo año, producto de su trabajo continuo y destacadas composiciones, recibe el endose de la prestigiosa marca de guitarras Ibanez, convirtiéndolo en el primer artista en Venezuela en obtener esta alta distinción y responsabilidad. Para Juan Pablo, el 2006 es un año de retos, pues debe representar a su marca a través de la realización de clínicas de guitarra en varias ciudades de Venezuela, además de iniciar la grabación de su álbum solista y llevar adelante su grupo La Sombra 4.0.

My song "Wet Dreams (Newtrack)" on "A View From The Couch" Podcast!

2006-03-04T20:25:00.000-04:00

I've been in contact with Lainee since we met at the ideagasms forum which is no longer running... and later I found that she hosts a podcast in company of his husband John...

I found this as they made an interview with Stephane Hemon of ideagasms.com... which was great and can be found for download on the buddha-licious.net site...

So I said maybe you'd like to play my song. So now they played it on their 30th show... http://buddha-licious.net/Blog/?p=41

((Thank You)) Lainee!!

You should've seen me rocking and dancing and crawling on the floor to the song :-p

2 Must-Have Firefox Extensions

2006-03-04T20:13:00.000-04:00

For people who don't know. Firefox (Mozilla Firefox) is the fastest web-browser in the world and the one with the fastest popularity-growing rate.

Just a quick comment here. I've used Gmail Notifier; in fact I sometimes use it and sometimes not. It was like I was too paranoic about new gmail messages. What I do now is I use this address: http://mail.google.com/mail/h/ because it's way faster and it feels way better...

So... The first firefox extension I'm going to talk about is: FlashBlock. FlashBlock "Replaces Flash objects with a button you can click to view them"... what it does is saving you time and hassle when you're viewing a website or searching on some torrent site like www.torrentspy.com and there's a lot of ads in there, including flash ads, which are the most annoying... This extension allows me to see the site results and not be interrupted with some movie previe or some product I don't want to buy or check-out... because that's something else... in my browsing experience, most flash ads have no value to me in terms of what I'm interested in. On the other hands, I've found many advertisings on Google Ads very very useful in my life. Wow, google people make things so simple!

The second extension I'm gonna talk about is "Remove It Permanently (RIP)" which is just great! It's helped me get rid of the annoying adds of torrentspy.com and some other sites like justlinux.com and have them never appear again. Some other use is to be able to not read a post from a certain user in a thread.

I think that's it... these tools save my pc memory and processor from being dragged. It makes the browsing experience lighter...

(linux) Resample Wav Files

2006-02-27T22:42:00.000-04:00

I wanted to burn "Empty" album from God Lives Underwater, so I saw the .wav files couldn't be burned at first. It was because sometimes the sampling rate of the .wav's has to be resampled. I used to use glame for this, but it stopped working for me...

So I found this while searching on google "resample wav files linux":

"sox track01.wav -r 44100 track01-new.wav resample"

from: http://www.linux.com/howtos/MP3-CD-Burning/audio.shtml

I just manually changed the track01.wav and track01-new.wav to the actual file names. And whala, it worked. I burned the cd with K3b because xcdroast threw me a very weird msg, and that was that.

the best way to make tough decisions is to forget about them

2006-02-17T13:24:00.000-04:00

Can't Decide? Study says forget about it.
By Margaret Munro
CanWest News Service

Deciding whether to slap down $40,000 on a new car or $1million for a house should be left to your unconscious, indicates new research that suggests the best way to make tough decisions is to forget about them.

Collect the relevant information, it says, then let the unconscious churn through the options. In the end, it makes for better decisions.

Contrary to conventional wisdom, it is not always advantageous to engage in thorough conscious deliberation before choosing," say psychologist Ap Dijksterhuis and his colleagues at the University of Amsterdam, who make a strong case in the journal Science today for listening to gut feelings and intuition.

Their work on "unconscious thought theory" taps into the brain's hidden - and many psychologists say unappreciated - ability to juggle and weigh complicated situations and options.

"In short, consciousness should be used to gather information, the unconscious to work on it," says Dijksterhuis.

A similar approach was proposed in Malcolm Gladwell's bestselling book Blink:The Power of Thinking Without Thinking.

The new study focuses on consumer choices, but Dijksterhuis and other psychologists say politicians, managers and negotiators would also be well advised to delegate tricky decisions to the unconscious.

"This process of just 'sleeping on it' and 'letting it sit' is not just procrastination, but is a valuable, productive technique that is drawing on cognitive processes that seem to really exist," says psychologist Jonathan Schooler of the University of British Columbia, who has done extensive research in the field.

"At a minimum, people should include this in their tool kit of decision-making."

The Dutch studies suggest simple choices like deciding on shampoo can be safely left to the conscious mind. But complex decisions are best left to the unconcious.

The Indigo's Reality

2006-02-17T13:22:00.000-04:00

Excepts from "The Indigo's Reality"

The reality of our world is a shifting, evolving, dynamic energy field. As part of this ecosystem, humanity is grow, and developing. As the needs of the whole shift, changes need to be made in the parts that make up that whole. So it is with the auras. A new colour-Indigo-has emerged, with ski talents, and physical characteristics significantly different those of the other colors. At this time, most Indigos are still children or young adults. I see Indigo children as a new co invested with new talents and abilities that will be necessary for our evolution. These children have unique characteristics for which we can only guess the purpose.

Parents of Indigo children have a special challenge-how to nurture and cultivate their unique children while at the same time helping them to exist in the mainstream of contemporary society. The parents of some of these Indigo children will love and support their differences. Other Indigos will not be:' lucky.

The significant thing about Indigos is that they have leadership capabilities unlike those we have heretofore ex experience They understand what it means to be a fully actualized human being without having been taught that concept.

The most difficult thing for an Indigo to develop is patience and forbearance. Because they seem to have already grasped what it means to be authentic, they have little tolerance for others who struggle with this issue. Indigos are not without compassion. However, their form of compassion is to give other human beings time and space enough to find their ,Own answers, to come to their own resolutions.

APPROACH TO PHYSICAL REALITY

Indigos have a biochemical system that has differing needs and considerations than other aura colors. Acceptance of their more sensitive systems pays rich dividends for parents.
Indigos seem to register emotional, physical, and psychological input at an unusually high frequency, in the same way some audio equipment is designed to pick up sound waves in the upper ranges. Consequently, their systems reach overload more quickly. This means that they tire more easily, can become confused from too much noise or chaos. Like the Crystals, they have extremely sensitive neural systems. Excessive excitement or prolonged stimulation can cause them to withdraw into themselves. Adults misunderstand this behavior as being contrary or difficult, when it is simply the Indigo child attempting to find emotional respite.

As infants, they are alert from the start. The most frequent comment from parents of Indigos is that the baby was awake, wide-eyed, and curious from the moment of birth. These infants do not seem to have the unfocused eyes of a newborn.

Indigos also seem to require less sleep than other infants. They nap infrequently, and even then sleep fitfully. This often Puts a strain on the new mother who expected her baby to sleep for the first three months. Not so for Indigos. Propping them up on a pillow when they are lying on their back seems to allow these infants a more restful sleep. Afternoon naps are Usually heavy and deep, as night sleep is for most of us. These children outgrow their need for naps earlier than others do. If they do nap in the afternoon, they frequently stay awake until all hours of the night. They often awaken from night sleep crying or in an irritable mood, especially if roused too ,abruptly. 'The result is physical pain, fright, and dislocation; it Is as if they have shifted gears too quickly. Gently awakening an Indigo by knocking lightly on the door of the room 0 calling the child's name softly over a period of ten to thirty minutes in the morning is a gift of love they will repay bright, happy dispositions all day.

While they love dairy products like ice cream and cheese, Indigos often have a physical intolerance to cow's milk, causes upper respiratory congestion, coughs, runny 0 and ear infections. Substituting goat's-milk products will them be more comfortable.

Because of their unusually sensitive systems, Indigos need an environment that is more placid and quiet than that required by other children. When subjected to extended periods of strenuous stimulation, their nervous systems become easily overloaded, causing them to become irritable and out of sorts. These children are not spoiled. They simply have different needs. One way to assist them is to play classical music of the baroque period, which provides a stimulus for the side of the brain so that the intuitive side is free to Meditation music by composers such as Steven Halpern, taro, or Vangelis is also helpful. It allows them to feel more at peace with themselves, able to adapt to the shifts and changes in their environment more easily and quickly.

As infants, Indigos develop at a very rapid rate. In manuals dexterity and gross motor coordination they will develop than their peer group during the first two years. As they ponder the problems of manipulation, it is as if the observer is see the step-by-step thinking process of the Indigo. It is fascinating to watch them as they discover, observe, and interact with physical world, sorting and sifting data, making decisions achieving successes far beyond usual expectations. These children are very gifted, but in a new and different way. truly want to understand, not for the sake of enhanced esteem or for the privileges that come to the gifted child, because of their natural inquisitiveness.

In temperament, Indigos incorporate both male and male characteristics simultaneously. As a result, post-pubescent cent Indigos have no attitudes or values about sexual heterosexuality, homosexuality, or bisexuality. It is all same to them. They go back and forth various forms of sexual expression. They mate soul-to-soul rather than body-to-body. Sexuality is not an expression of masculinity or femininity, but rather the capacity of one human soul to interact with another soul. Sexual expression is a medium of communication so profound that sex for the purpose of physical release only is incomprehensible to an Indigo. They choose their partners carefully, favoring people who intuitively understand the deep spiritual nature of the sexual exchange of energy represented by the sex act. Because an Indigo is renewed spiritually as well as physically by each such experience, they seem to have lower sex drives, finding that fewer but more fulfilling experiences are preferable to many casual experiences.

CAREER OPTIONS

Currently, Indigos find great satisfaction working with their hands in occupations that require them to pay attention to the process that is, not intellectually demanding. Many of them have become artisans, or even repairmen. They are Intelligent, soft-spoken hardworking and dedicated employees. They take jobs in such industries as construction, plumbing, and electrical contracting, heating, and air-conditioning They do well in jobs that allow them flexibility and freedom-, but incorporate limits and guidelines, such as quality control or building inspection.

For the future, as new needs and situations arise, Indigo will move into leadership positions because they have firsthand knowledge gained from experience in repairing today's technology. They will know what we need in the future based on, what we have in the present.

SPIRITUALITY

Spirituality as expressed by an Indigo is an example what it would be like to live without the guilt and fear used by many religions to intimidate and manipulate. Indigos sense the nature of their own divinity, that part of themselves that is a reflection of perfection. Indigos accept their spirituality as a fact of being.

Indigos seem to have been born knowing everything. The seem to come into this existence with all the information other times, other places, intact. It is as if they remember where they have been prior to coming here. This may be 9 result of spiritual evolution, or it may be an innate characteristic of the Indigo color.

Indigos have a unique relationship with the Higher Power. Most 'of us consider the Higher Power to be above us; our' spiritual evolution is a process of reaching and striving to elevate ourselves through knowledge, spiritual practices, and examination of our own inner selves. Indigos seem to have an. inner sense of the Higher Power. To an Indigo, the Higher Power is a daily reality, not a theological concept. God is. Indigos see our striving after spirituality as posturing-much, the way Christ saw the Pharisees.

Indigos find it easy to conform to institutionalized spiritual practices. Even as young children they have a gift for spiritual pursuits such as meditation, and an appreciation of ceremonial accoutrements such as incense, medicine rocks, and smudge,", sticks. They often choose them as playthings. They intuitively' incorporate reverence and honor into their behavior, handling the spiritual objects with love and respect. They respond easily and naturally to prayer and meditation rituals; they seem to love the quiet time as well as the space. Indigos are spiritually eclectic, able to incorporate many spiritual traditions, rituals, and symbol systems simultaneously, taking peace and comfort from each. They are not bound by old traditions, habits, or. belief systems. These children know that there is an order and a pattern to the universe that has little to do with the rules and regulations others make up. They are able to construct a holistic spirituality within themselves, to build an inner temple capable of accommodating many divergent belief systems.

Because Indigos are born knowing everything, they have easy access to the whole spectrum of what is known in the paranormal or psychic world. Because they know-and know that they know-they are less willing than others to filter out or deny these alternate realities. Many of these children sense the technology of the future. To them, our civilization seems as barbaric and superstitious as King Arthur's court appeared to the Connecticut Yankee.

REAL 40 YEAR OLD VIRGINS SAY ‘40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN’ MOVIE MAKES THEM UNCOMFORTABLE

Sexually-frustrated Star Trek and Star Wars fans sue Universal, ask for restraining order

Hollywood - The new movie “The 40-Year-Old Virgin” will hit theaters next week, but across America, real 40-year-old virgins say promotions for the upcoming movie make them very uncomfortable as friends and family members make comparisons to the film and remind them of the fact they’ve never gotten laid. The virgins have filed a class action lawsuit against Universal Pictures seeking unspecified damages for emotional distress.

Stuart Brownfield (chat screen name: farscaperules23) is a 40-year-old virgin in Nashua, New Hampshire who filed the original lawsuit. He is hoping that the movie will bomb at the box office. “I work in an office (Office Depot) and someone saw the ad for the movie in the paper,” said Brownfield. “Then, this one guy I can’t stand in shipping turns to me and says, ‘Hey Stuart, this movie sounds like it’s right up your alley.’ Everyone started laughing. I was so devastated I couldn’t even watch the new episode of ‘Battlestar Galactica’ that night.”

Actor Steve Carell plays 40-year-old virgin Andy Stitzer in the movie. Andy’s never had sex. His friends consider it their duty to help, but nothing proves effective enough until he meets Trish (Catherine Keener), a 40-year-old mother of three.

“People who have seen the trailer for the movie are now calling me ‘Andy,’” said an emotional Brownfield. “People at the office know that I’ve never gotten laid, but no one really said anything until these movie trailers and posters started appearing. My life has been a nightmare. I haven’t felt this bad since ‘Episode I.’”

“It’s not easy being a virgin, and I really feel for these guys,” said 42-year-old Stan Jennings of Cranston, Rhode Island. Jennings, who works at Industrial Soap Inc., finally lost his virginity last year while having sex with a prostitute who ended up giving him gonorrhea. “I am not a virgin anymore, and it feels great, although I do have some burning. However, being a former virgin, I empathize with those losers, and I think the movie should be stopped.”

Star Trek and Star Wars fans who have been feuding for decades have finally found a common cause in the lawsuit.

“We don’t think it’s funny to make fun of virgins, and we will use all of our powers to stop this film,” said 40year old Larry Nohan, the president of the Star Trek Milwaukee Federation. “This movie is a blatant attempt to humiliate us. Why can’t people just leave us alone with our Uhura porn and stop judging us?”

Lou Peters, a 39-year-old virgin and Star Wars fan from San Diego who lives with his parents, considers himself lucky.

“I’m so glad I’m still 39,” said Peters who wears a Stormtrooper costume on weekends while playing the “Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith” videogame online. “One year old older and I would be the laughing stock of my neighborhood.”

Create You Victory Log (by Mike Brescia)

2006-01-01T20:27:00.000-04:00

==============================================
Chapter 19 of 'Today Is Your Day To Win'
==============================================

Create Your Victory Log

----------------------------------
Today's Empowering Quote
----------------------------------

"Think of yourself as on the threshold of unparalleled
success. A whole clear, glorious life lies before you.
Achieve! Achieve!"
--Andrew Carnegie

----------------------------------
Today's Fast Session
----------------------------------

Even though you don't want to live in the past, it can be
an invaluable tool to you.

Throughout our lives, every single one of us have had
times where we did something great, or at least really
good... someone gave us an approving glance, a promotion, a
new client.  Perhaps we dated someone hot!  Wedding day,
giving birth, scoring a touchdown, winning a medal.  You
simply helped someone out that needed it.  These events
made you feel good.

A very effective way to put yourself into a great mood any
time you want, especially at times where exceptional
performance is needed NOW is to create...
Your victory log.

A victory log is merely a sheet of paper that you have
nearby any time you need to be reminded of past successes
of ANY kind.  By reminding  yourself about your successes,
by pulling out that little sheet, you'll often be able to
go on and reach down and grab your greatest performance
ever even from the depths of despair.  Often times, you
just need to be able to REMEMBER that you can do it, when
your thinking is really cloudy.

If you get depressed, pull out your Victory Log and you'll
feel a whole lot better.  I absolutely guarantee it.
Yes, this is simple. That's why it works.

Do you think that the doers - the real winners in life -
are that much different than you?  Mostly, with exceptional
people, they just keep their victories just below their
consciousness, so that magical confidence is right there
when they need it.

So PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do this exercise.
Don't put it off.  If now isn't good, do it later today.
It's easy.  It's fun.  And you'll feel great about yourself
when you're done.

And... you'll have it forever.

What a great gift to yourself.

Please take a few minutes and do this!!!!  This silly
little sheet of paper can pull you out of the deepest hole
faster than anything you've ever seen.

Here's how.  In the areas listed below we want to create a
big list of even the tiniest successes.  I often look at my
list when I'm feeling not up to a task.  Hey, no one can be
at their best all the time.

Write down just a few words to jog the memory so that when
you look at it, you'll know.  Many people type these out
afterwards. Go back to as far as you can remember.  Even
kindergarten is fair game.

Learning - tests, quizzes, semester averages, awards,
scholarships, I.Q., diploma.  Include all grades and
college.

The opposite sex - dated a "hottie," got the glance in the
mall, had a particularly romantic night/week/month, had 'em
all after you, summer camp, phone call, poems, cards, got
whistled at.  Go back as far as you need to.

Sports (even backyard sports) - touchdowns, hits, baskets,
goals, blocks, double plays, great shots.  Include board
games and cards, too.

Work - promotions, sales, raises, pats on the back,
contests, trips, saved money for the company, teamwork,
great days, winning, solving a problem, saving a life, got
elected, a finalist for the job, made the big sale, got the
listing.

Personal - convinced someone to a new way of thinking,
landscaping, painting, art, cleaning the house, new
clothes, great dinners, children in plays or sports, losing
weight, eliminating a bad habit, building/fixing something,
tuning up the car, new car day, new home, getting a
letter/notification, made dinner, helped a friend.

Social - kept your temper, you were elegant, gave a great
speech, the party was a success.

Health - cholesterol is down, stopped smoking, lost
weight, ran 100 yards/one mile/three miles, climbed the
mountain, changed your diet, walked by the chips in the
store, etc.

Do this for every area of your life.  I have one for
kicking a 50 yard field goal.  Don't you believe I'll ever
forget it.  Not when NFL kickers have missed 30 yarders to
lose games!!  But even the small ones like walking by the
potato chips today.  That's a victory and shouldn't be
discounted.  Because you were strong just then, and deserve
recognition.  No one else is likely to do it, so you MUST.

Don't think little things are not important.  They're
everything -- everything.

Watch during sporting events, when a player makes a
mistake and the other team scores as a result.  Momentum
shifts.

Why?

Because after mistakes they begin focusing on what went
wrong... instantly.

And the team that scored is focused on their scoring.
They're pumped up.  Confidence rises.

You need that confidence, too, to do your best every day
and every minute.

So focus on what you've done right, and you'll develop it.

How can you do this?

Your Victory Log... the fastest way in the world to build
your confidence and increase your skills.

Manual Para Ser Niño por Gabriel García Marquez

Un Manual para ser niño
Gabriel García Márquez

Aspiro a que estas reflexiones sean un manual para que los niños se atrevan a defenderse de los adultos en el aprendizaje de las artes y las letras. No tienen una base científica sino emocional o sentimental, si se quiere, y se fundan en una premisa improbable: si a un niño se le pone frente a una serie de juguetes diversos, terminará por quedarse con uno que le guste más. Creo que esa preferencia no es casual, sino que revela en el niño una vocación y una aptitud que tal vez pasarían inadvertidas para sus padres despistados y sus fatigados maestros. Creo que ambas le vienen de nacimiento, y sería importante identificarlas a tiempo y tomarlas en cuenta para ayudarlo a elegir su profesión. Más aún: creo que algunos niños a una cierta edad, y en ciertas condiciones, tienen facultades congénitas que les permiten ver más allá de la realidad admitida por los adultos. Podrían ser residuos de algún poder adivinatorio que el género humano agotó en etapas anteriores, o manifestaciones extraordinarias de la intuición casi clarividente de los artistas durante la soledad del crecimiento, y que desaparecen, como la glándula del timo, cuando ya no son necesarias.
Creo que se nace escritor, pintor o músico. Se nace con la vocación y en muchos casos con las condiciones físicas para la danza y el teatro, y con un talento propicio para el periodismo escrito, entendido como un género literario, y para el cine, entendido como una síntesis de la ficción y la plástica. En ese sentido soy un platónico: aprender es recordar. Esto quiere decir que cuando un niño llega a la escuela primaria puede ir ya predispuesto por la naturaleza para alguno de esos oficios, aunque todavía no lo sepa. Y tal vez no lo sepa nunca, pero su destino puede ser mejor si alguien lo ayuda a descubrirlo. No para forzarlo en ningún sentido, sino para crearle condiciones favorables y alentarlo a gozar sin temores de su juguete preferido. Creo, con una seriedad absoluta, que hacer siempre lo que a uno le gusta, y sólo eso, es la fórmula magistral para una vida larga y feliz.
Para sustentar esa alegre suposición no tengo más fundamento que la experiencia difícil y empecinada de haber aprendido el oficio de escritor contra un medio adverso, y no sólo al margen de la educación formal sino contra ella, pero a partir de dos condiciones sin alternativas: una aptitud bien definida y una vocación arrasadora. Nada me complacería más si esa aventura solitaria pudiera tener alguna utilidad no sólo para el aprendizaje de este oficio de las letras, sino para el de todos los oficios de las artes.

La vocación sin don y el don sin vocación
Georges Bernanos, escritor católico francés, dijo: "Toda vocación es un llamado". El Diccionario de Autoridades, que fue el primero de la Real Academia en 1726, la definió como "la inspiración con que Dios llama a algún estado de perfección". Era, desde luego, una generalización a partir de las vocaciones religiosas. La aptitud, según el mismo diccionario, es "la habilidad y facilidad y modo para hacer alguna cosa". Dos siglos y medio después, el Diccionario de la Real Academia conserva estas definiciones con retoques mínimos. Lo que no dice es que una vocación inequívoca y asumida a fondo llega a ser insaciable y eterna, y resistente a toda fuerza contraria: la única disposición del espíritu capaz de derrotar al amor.
Las aptitudes vienen a menudo acompañadas de sus atributos físicos. Si se les canta la misma nota musical a varios niños, unos la repetirán exacta, otros no. Los maestros de música dicen que los primeros tienen lo que se llama el oído primario, importante para ser músicos. Antonio Sarasate, a los cuatro años, dio con su violín de juguete una nota que su padre, gran virtuoso, no lograba dar con el suyo. Siempre existirá el riesgo, sin embargo, de que los adultos destruyan tales virtudes porque no les parecen primordiales, y terminen por encasillar a sus hijos en la realidad amurallada en que los padres los encasillaron a ellos. El rigor de muchos padres con los hijos artistas suele ser el mismo con que tratan a los hijos homosexuales.
Las aptitudes y las vocaciones no siempre vienen juntas. De ahí el desastre de cantantes de voces sublimes que no llegan a ninguna parte por falta de juicio, o de pintores que sacrifican toda una vida a una profesión errada, o de escritores prolíficos que no tienen nada que decir. Sólo cuando las dos se juntan hay posibilidades de que algo suceda, pero no por arte de magia: todavía falta la disciplina, el estudio, la técnica, y un poder de superación para toda la vida.
Para los narradores hay una prueba que no falla. Si se le pide a un grupo de personas de cualquier edad que cuenten una película, los resultados serán reveladores. Unos darán sus impresiones emocionales, políticas, o filosóficas, pero no sabrán contar la historia completa y en orden. Otros contarán el argumento, tan detallado como recuerden, con la seguridad de que será suficiente para transmitir la emoción del original. Los primeros podrán tener un porvenir brillante en cualquier materia, divina o humana, pero no serán narradores. A los segundos les falta todavía mucho para serlo base cultural, técnica, estilo propio, rigor mental pero pueden llegar a serlo. Es decir: hay quienes saben contar un cuento desde que empiezan a hablar, y hay quienes no sabrán nunca. En los niños es una prueba que merece tomarse en serio.

Las ventajas de no obedecer a los padres
La encuesta adelantada para estas reflexiones ha demostrado que en Colombia no existen sistemas establecidos de captación precoz de aptitudes y vocaciones tempranas, como punto de partida para una carrera artística desde la cuna hasta la tumba. Los padres no están preparados para la grave responsabilidad de identificarlas a tiempo, y en cambio sí lo están para contrariarlas. Los menos drásticos les proponen a los hijos estudiar una carrera segura, y conservar el arte para entretenerse en las horas libres. Por fortuna para la humanidad, los niños les hacen poco caso a los padres en materia grave, y menos en lo que tiene que ver con el futuro.
Por eso los que tienen vocaciones escondidas asumen actitudes engañosas para salirse con la suya. Hay los que no rinden en la escuela porque no les gusta lo que estudian, y sin embargo podrían descollar en lo que les gusta si alguien los ayudara. Pero también puede darse que obtengan buenas calificaciones, no porque les guste la escuela, sino para que sus padres y sus maestros no los obliguen a abandonar el juguete favorito que llevan escondido en el corazón. También es cierto el drama de los que tienen que sentarse en el piano durante los recreos, sin aptitudes ni vocación, sólo por imposición de sus padres. Un buen maestro de música, escandalizado con la impiedad del método, dijo que el piano hay que tenerlo en la casa, pero no para que los niños lo estudien a la fuerza, sino para que jueguen con él.
Los padres quisiéramos siempre que nuestros hijos fueran mejores que nosotros, aunque no siempre sabemos cómo. Ni los hijos de familias de artistas están a salvo de esa incertidumbre. En unos casos, porque los padres quieren que sean artistas como ellos, y los niños tienen una vocación distinta. En otros, porque a los padres les fue mal en las artes, y quieren preservar de una suerte igual aun a los hijos cuya vocación indudable son las artes. No es menor el riesgo de los niños de familias ajenas a las artes, cuyos padres quisieran empezar una estirpe que sea lo que ellos no pudieron. En el extremo opuesto no faltan los niños contrariados que aprenden el instrumento a escondidas, y cuando los padres los descubren ya son estrellas de una orquesta de autodidactas.
Maestros y alumnos concuerdan contra los métodos académicos, pero no tienen un criterio común sobre cual puede ser mejor. La mayoría rechazaron los métodos vigentes, por su carácter rígido y su escasa atención a la creatividad, y prefieren ser empíricos e independientes. Otros consideran que su destino no dependió tanto de lo que aprendieron en la escuela como de la astucia y la tozudez con que burlaron los obstáculos de padres y maestros. En general, la lucha por la supervivencia y la falta de estímulos han forzado a la mayoría a hacerse solos y a la brava.
Los criterios sobre la disciplina son divergentes. Unos no admiten sino la completa libertad, y otros tratan incluso de sacralizar el empirismo absoluto. Quienes hablan de la no disciplina reconocen su utilidad, pero piensan que nace espontánea como fruto de una necesidad interna, y por tanto no hay que forzarla. Otros echan de menos la formación humanística y los fundamentos teóricos de su arte. Otros dicen que sobra la teoría. La mayoría, al cabo de años de esfuerzos, se sublevan contra el desprestigio y las penurias de los artistas en una sociedad que niega el caracter profesional de las artes.
No obstante, las voces más duras de la encuesta fueron contra la escuela, como un espacio donde la pobreza de espíritu corta las alas, y es un escollo para aprender cualquier cosa. Y en especial para las artes. Piensan que ha habido un despilfarro de talentos por la repetición infinita y sin alteraciones de los dogmas académicos, mientras que los mejor dotados sólo pudieron ser grandes y creadores cuando no tuvieron que volver a las aulas. "Se educa de espaldas al arte", han dicho al unísono maestros y alumnos. A estos les complace sentir que se hicieron solos. Los maestros lo resienten, pero admiten que también ellos lo dirían. Tal vez lo más justo sea decir que todos tienen razón. Pues tanto los maestros como los alumnos, y en última instancia la sociedad entera, son víctimas de un sistema de enseñanza que está muy lejos de la realidad del país.
De modo que antes de pensar en la enseñanza artística, hay que definir lo más pronto posible una política cultural que no hemos tenido nunca. Que obedezca a una concepción moderna de lo que es la cultura, para qué sirve, cuanto cuesta, para quién es, y que se tome en cuenta que la educación artística no es un fin en sí misma, sino un medio para la preservación y fomento de las culturas regionales, cuya circulación natural es de la periferia hacia el centro y de abajo hacia arriba.
No es lo mismo la enseñanza artística que la educación artística. Esta es una función social, y así como se enseñan las matematicas o las ciencias, debe enseñarse desde la escuela primaria el aprecio y el goce de las artes y las letras. La enseñanza artística, en cambio, es una carrera especializada para estudiantes con aptitudes y vocaciones específicas, cuyo objetivo es formar artistas y maestros como profesionales del arte.
No hay que esperar a que las vocaciones lleguen: Hay que salir a buscarlas. Están en todas partes, más puras cuanto más olvidadas. Son ellas las que sustentan la vida eterna de la música callejera, la pintura primitiva de brocha y sapolín en los palacios municipales, la poesma en carne viva de las cantinas, el torrente incontenible de la cultura popular que es el padre y la madre de todas las artes.

¿Con qué se comen las letras?
Los colombianos, desde siempre, nos hemos visto como un país de letrados. Tal vez a eso se deba que los programas del bachillerato hagan más énfasis en la literatura que en las otras artes. Pero aparte de la memorización cronológica de autores y de obras, a los alumnos no les cultivan el hábito de la lectura, sino que los obligan a leer y a hacer sinopsis escritas de los libros programados. Por todas partes me encuentro con profesionales escaldados por los libros que les obligaron a leer en el colegio con el mismo placer con que se tomaban el aceite de ricino. Para las sinopsis, por desgracia, no tuvieron problemas, porque en los periódicos encontraron anuncios como este: "Cambio sinopsis de El Quijote por sinopsis de La Odisea ". Así es: en Colombia hay un mercado tan próspero y un tráfico tan intenso de resúmenes fotostáticos, que los escritores armamos mejor negocio no escribiendo los libros originales sino escribiendo de una vez las sinopsis para bachilleres. Es este método de enseñanza, y no tanto la televisión y los malos libros, lo que está acabando con el hábito de lectura. Estoy de acuerdo en que un buen curso de literatura sólo puede ser una gema para lectores. Pero es imposible que los niños lean una novela, escriban la sinopsis y preparen una exposición reflexiva para el martes siguiente. Sería ideal que un niño dedicara parte de su fin de semana a leer un libro hasta donde pueda y hasta donde le guste que es la única condición para leer un libro pero es criminal, para él mismo y para el libro, que lo lea a la fuerza en sus horas de juego y con la angustia de las otras tareas.
Haría falta como falta todavía para todas las artes una franja especial en el bachillerato con clases de literatura que sólo pretendan ser gumas inteligentes de lectura y reflexión para formar buenos lectores. Porque formar escritores es otro cantar. Nadie enseña a escribir, salvo los buenos libros, leídos con la aptitud y la vocación alertas. La experiencia de trabajo es lo poco que un escritor consagrado puede transmitir a los aprendices si éstos tienen todavía un mínimo de humildad para creer que alguien puede saber más que ellos. Para eso no haría falta una universidad, sino talleres prácticos y participativos, donde escritores artesanos discutan con los alumnos la carpintería del oficio: cómo se les ocurrieron sus argumentos, cómo imaginaron sus personajes, cómo resolvieron sus problemas técnicos de estructura, de estilo, de tono, que es lo único concreto que a veces puede sacarse en limpio del gran misterio de la creación. El mismo sistema de talleres está ya probado para algunos géneros del periodismo, el cine y la televisión, y en particular para reportajes y guiones. Y sin examenes ni diplomas ni nada. Que la vida decida quién sirve y quién no sirve, como de todos modos ocurre.
Lo que debe plantearse para Colombia, sin embargo, no es sólo un cambio de forma y de fondo en las escuelas de arte, sino que la educación artística se imparta dentro de un sistema autónomo, que dependa de un organismo propio de la cultura y no del ministerio de la educación. Que no esté centralizado, sino al contrario, que sea el coordinador del desarrollo cultural desde las distintas regiones del país, pues cada una de ellas tiene su personalidad cultural, su historia, sus tradiciones, su lenguaje, sus expresiones artísticas propias. Que empiece por educarnos a padres y maestros en la apreciación precoz de las inclinaciones de los niños, y los prepare para una escuela que preserve su curiosidad y su creatividad naturales. Todo esto, desde luego, sin muchas ilusiones. De todos modos, por arte de las artes, los que han de ser ya lo son. Aun si no lo sabrán nunca.

>Mis comentarios: Rápidamente lo primero que se me viene a la mente es que hace un tiempo (buen tiempo) leí 100 años de soledad, coronel no tiene quien le escriba, 12 cuentos peregrinos, cronica de una muerte anunciada, y otros de sus libros. Estoy por leer 'El Olor de la Guayaba', el cual es una entrevista con el Gabo sobre sus libros.

¿Por qué ahora? Porque siento que ahora es un tiempo de RECAPITULACIÓN. Es tiempo de ir hacia atrás y recoger todo lo bueno que hubo, mantenerlo ACÁ en el presente y SEGUIR ADELANTE. Es tiempo tambien de recolectar todas esas técnicas, consejos, tips, entendimientos, y usarlos juntos y FUSIONADOS para máximos resultados.

Una de las ideas en www.todayisyourdaytowin.com es la de leer las biografías de gente que ha sido exitosa, además de gente exitosa en lo que deseas ser exitoso. Tomo la biografía del Gabo como una corriente que me puede llevar a una mejor auto-identidad. También me parece interesante la idea de leer biografías de los artistas MUSICALES que me gustan; hoy ví un libro escrito sobre EMINEM y su vida... también estoy curioso por leer la biografía de SIMÓN BOLIVAR...

Leer el Gabo me solía conectar bastante y sumergir en el momento de la lectura y además de los lugares a donde me enviaba la lectura de sus libros.

Sabes, hubo alguna gente (1) que realmente irrespetaba mi leer libros; si sospechas que una persona o varias no te permiten ser tu máximo ser, hazte un favor y deséchalas.

... ahora con respecto al artículo del Premio Nóbel Gabriel García Marquez, debo decir que me identifico muchísimo con los temas que aborda... una de las razones por la que coloco esto en mi blog... es para poder re-leerlo una y otra vez. Uno debe llenar esa vocación interna... al menos sería bueno, yo voy hacia ese lugar.

Acá viene más y más material de calidad,,, sólo el comienzo...

Cerrando puertas por Paulo Coelho

2005-12-16T09:25:00.000-04:00

CERRANDO PUERTAS

Siempre es preciso saber cuándo se acaba una etapa de la vida. Si insistes en permanecer en ella más allá del tiempo necesario, pierdes la alegría y el sentido del resto. Cerrando círculos, o cerrando puertas, o cerrando capítulos, como quieras llamarlo. Lo importante es poder cerrarlos, y dejar ir momentos de la vida que se van clausurando.

¿Terminó tu trabajo?, ¿Se acabó tu relación?, ¿Ya no vives más en esa casa?, ¿Debes irte de viaje?, ¿La relación se acabó? Puedes pasarte mucho tiempo de tu presente "revolcándote" en los por qués, en devolver el cassette y tratar de entender por qué sucedió tal o cual hecho. El desgaste va a ser infinito, porque en la vida, tú, yo, tu amigo, tus hijos, tus hermanos, todos y todas estamos encaminados hacia ir cerrando capítulos, ir dando vuelta a la hoja, a terminar con etapas, o con momentos de la vida y seguir adelante.

No podemos estar en el presente añorando el pasado. Ni siquiera preguntándonos porqué. Lo que sucedió, sucedió, y hay que soltarlo, hay que desprenderse. No podemos ser niños eternos, ni adolescentes tardíos, ni empleados de empresas inexistentes, ni tener vínculos con quien no quiere estar vinculado a nosotros. ¡Los hechos pasan y hay que dejarlos ir! Por eso, a veces es tan importante destruir recuerdos, regalar presentes, cambiar de casa, romper papeles, tirar documentos, y vender o regalar libros.

Los cambios externos pueden simbolizar procesos interiores de superación. Dejar ir, soltar, desprenderse. En la vida nadie juega con las cartas marcadas, y hay que aprender a perder y a ganar. Hay que dejar ir, hay que dar vuelta a la hoja, hay que vivir sólo lo que tenemos en el presente.

El pasado ya pasó. No esperes que te lo devuelvan, no esperes que te reconozcan, no esperes que alguna vez se den cuenta de quién eres tú. Suelta el resentimiento. El prender "tu televisor personal" para darle y darle al asunto, lo único que consigue es dañarte mentalmente, envenenarte, y amargarte.

La vida está para adelante, nunca para atrás. Si andas por la vida dejando "puertas abiertas", por si acaso, nunca podrás desprenderte ni vivir lo de hoy con satisfacción. ¿Noviazgos o amistades que no clausuran?, ¿Posibilidades de regresar? (¿a qué?), ¿Necesidad de aclaraciones?, ¿Palabras que no se dijeron?, ¿Silencios que lo invadieron? Si puedes enfrentarlos ya y ahora, hazlo, si no, déjalos ir, cierra capítulos. Dite a ti mismo que no, que no vuelven. Pero no por orgullo ni soberbia, sino, porque tú ya no encajas allí en ese lugar, en ese corazón, en esa habitación, en esa casa, en esa oficina, en ese oficio.

Tú ya no eres el mismo que fuiste hace dos días, hace tres meses, hace un año. Por lo tanto, no hay nada a qué volver. Cierra la puerta, da vuelta a la hoja, cierra el círculo. Ni tú serás el mismo, ni el entorno al que regresas será igual, porque en la vida nada se queda quieto, nada es estático. Es salud mental, amor por ti mismo, desprender lo que ya no está en tu vida.

Recuerda que nada ni nadie es indispensable. Ni una persona, ni un lugar, ni un trabajo. Nada es vital para vivir porque cuando tú viniste a este mundo, llegaste sin ese adhesivo. Por lo tanto, es costumbre vivir pegado a él, y es un trabajo personal aprender a vivir sin él, sin el adhesivo humano o físico que hoy te duele dejar ir.

Es un proceso de aprender a desprenderse y, humanamente se puede lograr, porque te repito: nada ni nadie nos es indispensable. Sólo es costumbre, apego, necesidad. Pero cierra, clausura, limpia, tira, oxigena, despréndete, sacúdete, suéltate.

Hay muchas palabras para significar salud mental y cualquiera que sea la que escojas, te ayudará definitivamente a seguir para adelante con tranquilidad. ¡Esa es la vida!

Chin Up! Keep Going!

------------------------------
Today's Empowering Quote
------------------------------

"Press on. Nothing in the world can take the place of
persistence."
--Ray Kroc

------------------------------
Today's Empowering Question
------------------------------

"Am I even a little closer today to my goal than
yesterday?"

------------------------------
Today's Fast Session
------------------------------

For those of you who don't know Ray Kroc, he's the guy who
took McDonald's from a little hamburger stand to the most
successful restaurant chain in the world. He's long passed
away and the systems that he set up still thrive and
dominate today.

He developed and improved on systems of training, making
the food, presentation, franchising, and advertising that
made a moderately successful joint into a global phenomenon.

Systems and persistence.

Many people thought he was a crazed lunatic, concerning
his fanaticism about consistency. But Ray understood that
once a system, good or bad, is in place, it's nearly
impossible to change it.

And that's how we all are as individuals, too. Once we
get a habit, it becomes very hard to break...

Giving up too soon is the saddest thing in the world.

My wife told me a story the other day about a co-worker
who has never hit the 'Help' button in any software program
she's ever used...and she's used computers every day for
years. She thinks it will take too long to find the
answer, so she just doesn't even bother.

Don't laugh--you probably have a few of these yourself.
Find them and snuff them out.

Do you look at potential goals and get overwhelmed by all
the stuff you'd have to do to achieve it and thus never
start anything? The right way is to write down all the
benefits that you'll get--spiritually, physically,
emotionally, socially... any benefit.

Look far into the future. Write 'em down.

This simple exercise will help you stay motivated to see
it through.

If it takes months or even years to get what you want,
keeping your eye on the ball will keep you going. If you
don't even know why you're doing something, how can you
possibly stay passionate about it?

You can't.

Have you given up on a goal recently, where if you
attained it, your life would be dramatically improved?

Were you passionate about the goal?

Of course you weren't.

Passionate desire helps create persistence.

Persistence alone will often get you where you want to go.
Without it, it doesn't matter how much you know, who you
know, who you are, what you've done before, what you look
like or how much money you have to throw at a problem.

Persistence, sheer persistence usually will win.
Determination will overcome even superior talent.

Even if you never reach the goal that you've worked so
hard for, there is a pretty decent ancillary benefit...

Character.

Tomorrow's another day. Your day.

Dating Is A Numbers Game by Wayne Ross I'm sure you've heard the saying before that "Dating is a numbers game".

Well in this article, you're going to learn how this principal applies in the real world, and how you can use it to improve your ability to meet women.

First of all, what does that mean... dating is a numbers game? How does that actually work in the real world?

The reason you'll hear so many people talking about dating as a numbers game is because of this simple truth. The more doors you knock on, the more will open.

Now there's two ways to increase the amount of women in your life. The first one is to simple knock on more doors, and statistically... you will get more doors that open for you.

What that means is... the more women you approach, and ask out... the more women you are going to have saying yes. The flip side of that is you will also have more women saying "no" too.

The second way to get more women is to learn how to get a higher percentage of those doors to open. Let's say you approach 20 women, and only 1 of them is interested in seeing you for a first date.

That's a 5% "yes ratio". Now, you could just approach 100 women, and get 5 "yes's", and that would be fine. You'd have 5 women in your life, and you'd be happy.

Well that's what you'll discover in my book "Seven Magic Words". You will learn some of the best shortcuts and techniques for attracting beautiful women, and getting a higher percentage of yes's.

If you're ready to start meeting more women TODAY, then check out this website now, while it's fresh in your mind: Seven Magic Words

Warmly,

--Get Mad... Then Make Your World Better-- (by Mike Brescia)

Chapter 57 of 'Today Is Your Day To Win'
==============================================

Get Mad...Then Make Your World Better

----------------------------------
Today's Empowering Quote
----------------------------------

"Anger is a prelude to courage."
-Eric Hoffer

----------------------------------
Today's Empowering Question
----------------------------------

"What am I really dissatisfied about right now?"

----------------------------------
Today's Fast Session
----------------------------------

I guess I better start right out by explaining the word
'Anger' as we'll be using it. By anger, I mean that you
see something or something happens and it spurs in you a
burning, all-encompassing desire to fix the problem.

The problem with most people is that they get angry at
other people for taking advantage of their weaknesses.
"You took my boyfriend." Hey, if your relationship was
good, there wouldn't be a problem. The blame rests with
you and/or your boyfriend, not anyone else.

A few years ago, I met Rudy Ruettiger. The movie 'Rudy'
is based on his life. He told me that the thing that kept
him going in the face of every adversity you can imagine
was anger...

Anger at everyone that told him playing football for Notre
Dame was crazy; for everyone that told him that he wasn't
cut out for college; that he ought to work in the factory
because it was safe; that he ought to forget his stupid
dream.

The nay sayers motivated him. It made him angry when
people knocked his dream.

If you've never seen the movie, I would recommend that you
buy it and wear it out. And if you don't have any tissues,
get some before you hit "play."

What do most people do when others rain on their parade?
What do you do?

Inside, you probably laugh right along and say something
like, "Yeah, it is kind of silly. That IS a little out of
my league."

Why not get angry and do something about it, instead.
Show them you can reach your dream.

Few people like to stand out. To be seen as different.

Well, anger is really just another way of describing one
of the first elements that go into making a personal
mission statement. I mean after all, what would a mission
be if you weren't completely behind it emotionally? It
wouldn't be a mission. It would be just a wish. And
wishes don't usually come true.

Missions, though, usually ensure that dreams become
realized.

But when you've got a mission, it sets your whole being
into motion.

Great missions come about often when you just can't stand
the way something is and you feel like you must change it.

"MADD" (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) came about because
of anger. "America's Most Wanted" came about because of
anger.

So many breakthroughs and achievements would never have
happened unless someone got mad and said "I'm not going to
take it any more!"

I did that years ago and went looking for tools to change
the way I thought. It took a while, but I found them and
altered them to create a technology that ultimately changed
who I am and changed the lives of thousands around the
world... all because of massive pain and dissatisfaction.

Here's what I want you to do...

Find something in your life that you're dissatisfied with
and get yourself worked up. Ask yourself what your life
will be like if this doesn't change. Feel the pain. Get
angry. Don't blame others in this mental exercise. You're
responsible for your own circumstances. Get that straight.

Feel the pain now. Compare those feelings to the feelings
you'd have if you were just to fix the situation now. No
matter what kind of effort it would take to fix. It might
take years for you to get things the way you want them.
But compare the two futures. Get angry at the first
future. Get scared. And get determined not to end up
there.

Make it a must. You must change it. Feel it. If you've
got to cry and scream and pound your fists, fine...if
that's what it takes.

Look now at the better future you saw. How big is the
gap? Would it be worth any effort that it might take? I
think you'll find that it probably is.

Without dissatisfaction, and often anger, it's verrrry
difficult to get and stay motivated. You must keep your
dissatisfaction in your mind daily.

Use it as fuel for your motivation.

As long as you continue to take personal responsibility
for your life, this can work miracles.

But as long as you keep blaming others for your problems,
you'll continue to have them.

Get dissatisfied. It will help you feel courageous, even
if last week you were hiding out.

(Cocina) Caraotas

Caraotas.

Clara Hernandez (chernand@gpu.srv.ualberta.ca)

Las caraotas, se cocinan de la siguiente manera:

Pones las caraotas una vez escogidas sin piedritas, en suficiente agua para que se remajen. Ellas se van a chupar esa agua y le vas a agregar mas. Dejalas remajando por al menos dos horas para que no esten tan duras a la hora de cocinarlas. Luego de haberlas remojado, vas a ponerle una cebolla cortada menuda, un pimenton verde cortado menudo, un poco de comino, algo de azucar, como dos cucharadas y ajo machacado. Vas a dejarlas cocinas a fuego bajo por lo menos cuatro horas para que te queden bien cremosas. Le vas a reponer el agua cada vez que se vayan secando, no las dejes quemar. Una vez que esten blandas, le pones sal y corriges la sazon, eso no te puedo decir como es porque es muy personal, depende del gusto de cada quien, pero si quieres le puedes poner mas azucar y comino que eso usualmente ayuda a realzar el sabor. las dejaras hervir un rato mas y listo. Las puedes freir despues de que esten listas o comerlas asi mismo.

--Solve Your Problems By Throwing Them Away-- (by Mike Brescia)

2005-11-20T01:32:00.000-04:00

Chapter 72 of 'Today Is Your Day To Win'
==============================================

Solve Your Problems By Throwing Them Away

------------------------------
Today's Empowering Quote
------------------------------

"I don't know who my grandfather was. I'm more concerned
to know who his grandson will be."
-Abraham Lincoln

------------------------------
Today's Empowering Question
------------------------------

"Am I looking at yesterday as an excuse to fail or a
reason to succeed?"

------------------------------
Today's Fast Session
------------------------------

I don't know where I first heard this little mental
technique, but it was just after I moved back from
California to New York in 1987. Just one of the many
little grains of sand thrown on the pile that I used to
help me climb out of my hole. It has served me well over
the years. When you get stuck and feel that there's no way
out of a situation, try this.

Write down a "problem" you're embroiled in. Write how you
feel about it. Write down all the reasons you can't
succeed, why you feel powerless, why it's no use to even
try...

Then take that paper, wad it up in a ball and throw it
away. Upon my many arcing baskets I could usually be heard
saying something like, "That is the biggest pile of horse
crap I've ever seen!!"

After you do this, forget about it. Yup. Put it out of
your mind completely. Start some other task right away.
If you do this, something magical will happen. Your
subconscious mind will go to work on it. You see, when you
tell yourself out loud that your pity party is hooey, that
your false excuses are just that, that you're not going to
listen to the lies you've told yourself for so long, your
mind, the one that God gave you to use for good and noble
deeds, says, "All right!! Time to do what I was created to
do!"

What you'll experience is, most times, nothing short of a
miracle. Often, within a day or two, you'll be driving
down the road, eating a snack or raking the leaves and
suddenly you'll get a huge "A-ha!!" And the answer comes.

Life being life, we all get lots of opportunities to solve
problems that seem insurmountable... sometimes daily. But
by programming your subconscious mind in this way, you're
teaching yourself to come up with answers quickly. Soon,
all "problems" become nothing more than an easy decision or
two from complete resolution.

Like any good habit, though, you need to be consistent.
Don't do it once, solve a big problem, never to come back
to your excellent technique. How many times have you
watched a sporting event and your team's strength seems to
be completely underutilized by the coaching staff calling
the plays. Doesn't it shock you that these guys could be
so stupid not to use their best chance to win? Don't be
like that!

Grab a pen and a piece of paper... C'mon.

Soon you'll be making baskets from across the room with
your little balls of paper... "Three seconds, two, one...
the shot. It's good!!"

Problem solved.

=======================================
What if you had the same minute-by-minute thoughts as the
super successful? Mike Brescia has developed the ultimate
mental conditioning programs that can help anyone wipe out
intense fears and enjoy huge successes in all areas of
life. FR~E details==> http://www.thinkrightnow.com

I won't argue anymore... EVER!

Fuck it I'm Going Back in!

2005-11-07T01:11:00.000-04:00

As the title says... I'm Going Back into the "GAME"...

Enough of shielding... I've learned what I needed to learn about that

Gonna get back and face all of those things that I need to face!!

A constant NOW is about to take place!

Whatever I think will do, I'll do now. Of course, little by little and with patience to me.

This includes goals. This includes the stuff that I want to get done. This includes the things that give me passion. This includes the things that I've been wanting to do but were left out. This includes an acceptance of change and growth.

There, I said it

Lost

2005-11-04T02:58:00.000-04:00

Ok... the title says it...

I'm Lost!

I mean, what's next? Having another goal, learning something new... gathering some people for a few days and then having an empty feeling?

What? Going again trying to approach and meet women only to have me not doing a single talk?

This thing of having goals is getting old for me... What should I do?

I don't know whether to work or not, because then it'll take all of my time and I won't make too much money to buy my stuff... Maybe I should take on this a start my own bussiness from small steps on...

And the music... I haven't played guitar since some days and there are 2 songs that I don't have fully memorized so I can begin playing them...

There's no drummer and since a month ago that I got this task to put an AD looking for a drummer, I want to start making this happen with my music and I want some nice people in there, not people with agendas...

And I feel like I don't have enough energy to do what I wanna do and have a "productive" day... it's been a while since I had a really good one of those.

People are nice, I find them to be nice towards me, that's going cool

And this ideagasms forum... some guy there upsets me when he goes and makes a distorted statement... I find myself disagreen and not feeling strength on most of the people who post there... it's like it's not my place to keep visiting the forum that often. It's like I've learned what I needed to learn from them and now I've got to do what I know I have to do...

Checking my Gmail account and the ideagasms forum is taking a lot of my energy, so then I feel like I've wasted and I'm not growing or moving anywhere...

Yesterday was very powerful, I started doing what I was leaving out...

I hate it when I'm not consistant and I forget the great things I was doing. I hate to quit stuff and not complete them. I sometimes feel I'm not fully in control of myself and that any little stuff can destroy the shield and strength that I've been gradually building for myself

And I hate it that I'm not already speaking russian and that I didn't perfectly learn italian, and I don't know if languages is my real passion

I hate to keep doing boring stuff and do things because it will suposedly mean something to the fucking society... I mean... fuck society, yeah fuck them don't need them

It is known and very agreed upon that women will undoubtedly be attracted to a man taller than her. Whether this is the product of the "daddy protect me" complex just about every woman has (that had a father figure in childhood) or for that simple idea of the man being able to control his surroundings as well as hers (still protective)

(outlink) Confidence Overdrive!

2005-09-23T15:08:00.000-04:00

Confidence Overdrive! by The Player http://www.becomeaplayer.com/articles/overdrive.htm

Even the best of us could use a good boost in confidence, because confidence is the quality in men that women find attractive far above any other. The more confidence that you display, the more women you will get, and it's as simple as that. I believe that I have developed the most effective and easiest confidence building technique that you will ever learn. Are you ready to go into confidence overdrive?

We have all heard of psychologist and support groups telling people that they must express their feelings by letting them out, because keeping your feelings to yourself, in other words "bottled up", will cause them to build up and grow. This works under the same principles. However, your goal will be to let your feelings build up on purpose by forcing yourself to keep your experiences "bottled up". Let me explain...

Whenever you tell someone about your conquests with women by saying something along the lines of "Remember that girl who gave me her number at the bar last week? I slept with her last night" you are subconsciously lowering the importance of the particular event in your mind. The act of having to "prove yourself" to other people by making your prowess known is actually a display of insecurity, and in the back of our minds we all know that to be true.

If you NEVER tell anyone about your personal life, you will notice that your self confidence will shoot through the roof! This works as a continuous cycle of confidence building because of the "building up" factor, which will continue to raise your confidence level rapidly as long as you always keep everything to yourself. So if you go on a trip to the Bahamas and end up getting with a super model or movie star, keep your mouth shut. The rewards are much better than being able to tell a good story to your friends.

You should start by developing a state of mind in which you could care less about other people knowing your business. You know where you've been and what you've done, and that is all that matters. Once you have achieved this you will no longer need to "prove yourself" to anyone, because they will think highly of you simply because of the confidence you display.

Keeping Your Mind Tight And You Feeling Right

by PIMP

It has come to my attention that some potential players are having problems getting started. One problem is the need for confidence and a way of building it. In this article I will give a way of building it in the privacy of your home. This is a basic knowledge of NLP.

The Basics
This is how NLP works; there are internal representations, which is how you represent things in your mind. Physiology is the second part of this technique of this how you carry yourself body language. If you can control your internal representations physiology will come as second nature.

The Uses
You might ask how this benefits you, well if you read on you will know. First, you must close your eyes and think about a girl you desire. Next, see yourself approaching her with confidence, no fear, and techniques you learned from this web site. Then, see you succeeding with her do this until this is not a fantasy of what will happen, but a law of what will happen if you follow this outline. When you do approach her now there will be no fear are second thoughts this new part of you will kick in. Giving that confidence that player swagger. Many things influence the effectiveness of IR. You should try it with different sounds, tastes, brightness, feels, and anything else from location to if it’s hot are cold and record which ones are the most effective together and alone. Once you have mastered these techniques move to another more risky article “Confidence Overdrive” by “the player”.

If executed correctly together the possibilities for these to articles are inexhaustible. For more information on the uses of NLP contact me PIMP at JCOX424@hotmail.com.

A Good Site to Get Fonts From

I was looking for the font "Trebuchet MS" which is the one I'm using on my speech about "Practical Tips" on linux
Free Fonts - 6500 Free TTF Fonts

I turned to that page... what made me find it was writing on the search the word: ttf so that I wasn't gonna go through the .exe installer file... which would be a waste of time

I'm gonna tell you guys the truth: I've woken up EARLY...

In fact... I dare you wake up at the same time as I did today!

LoL No bets please... unless it's a "I'll win anyways" kind of bet...

Anyhoo... I'm uploading an improvement of my .sxi file of the speech and also the font file... just in case they won't have it already installed.

I'm really wondering whether the presentation will run directly from my PC or from another one... and I re-wonder about whether it will have Mandrake/iva or some other linux distribution...

It's a Linux Conference that will be held on next month (October), so there's absolutely no way that any machine running windows is going to make an appearance.

Mi historia personal parte II

2005-09-06T14:09:00.000-04:00

Ese texto "Mi historia personal", lo escribí en la otra página web que tenía hace un año o menos, se me ocurrio (lo lei) que de pronto alguna que otra persona me iba a contactar y así hacer contactos y amistades.

Varias personas me contactaron, ninguna permanece.

Sobre "rapear"... podría definir "rapear" como "crear". Me gusta la creación, me gusta el proceso creativo, me gusta expresar mi mente.

Los estudios del alemán los dejé... probablemente los retome más adelante

El italiano me falta reforzarlo y tenerle estudio constante para dominarlo...

Sigo aprendiendo ruso, estoy haciendo un curso que esta en uno de los enlaces del blog. Voy aprendiendo lento, pero estoy aprendiendo. La verdad es que sería bueno ir aprendiendo con mayor rapidez.

No he probado tomar clases de parte de cantantes de mariachi para mejorar la proyección de la voz. Es una idea que probablemente más adelante pueda probar poner en acción.

Con respecto a ser positivo. He mejorado bastante al respecto. Actualmente me encuentro explorando la espiritualidad y 'trascender el ego'.

Mi Historia Personal

2005-08-17T00:37:00.000-04:00

Mi Historia Personal

Vengo de una familia donde cada uno va por su lado, vivo con mi madre, soy hijo único. He perseguido varios intereses, de los más importantes han sido aprender a jugar ajedrez, aprender a tocar guitarra, aprender a hablar inglés. En bachiderato y en general me ha ido mejor con materias como "Inglés", "Historia", "Literatura"; me fue regular en matemáticas, pero en la universidad le perdí interés por completo. Mientras iba a clases de Ing. en computación, en los recesos tocaba mis propias canciones con mi guitarra acústica, y recuerdo como se reunían otros colegas conmigo e intercambiaba opiniones con ellos al respecto... tambien en esos recesos podía hablar sobre mis opiniones; cuando hablo, suelo irme por un camino quizás algo "profundo y filosófico". Un día tenía en frente una guía de estudios, cuando me dí cuenta de que estaba en el lugar equivocado, y desde ese día decidí salirme de esa carrera. Fue como una revelación... es decir, ¿De veras quiero estudiar esta carrera, cuando no me causa emoción resolver formulas matemáticas, ni hablar de la poca utilidad que pueden o no tener en mi vida diaria?

Hace unos años estudié Italiano, de verás me falta mejorarlo en la parte escrita, y ampliar mi vocabulario. Actualmente estoy aprendiendo Alemán, y el aprendizaje va muy bien. Me gustaría aprender cuantos idiomas me permita a mi mismo aprender... Luego de aprender alemán me gustaría aprender ruso; estoy considerando luego de eso repasar mis aprendizajes de italiano y luego aprendés francés... algunos comentarios sobre el idioma francés es que suena muy bien incluso cuando estés hablando de política o temas serios, posteriormente quiero aprender portugués, sobre todo porque brasil es un país bien cercano y seguramente accesible para asistir.

Ultimamente he estado muy enfocado en descubrir cómo ser positivo. He bajado por cierto muchas lecturas y audio para tener una buena nutrición diaria en mi mente. Me he desecho de mucha gente que me solía hacer sentir mal, y que no estaba siendo de provecho, o sencillamente solían ser muy negativas consigo mismas, además de conmigo.

Como planes futuros, pienso aplicar para estudiar Idiomas en la universidad. Con respecto a la música, seguir componiendo. Me gustaría conocer y tocar con otros músicos, tocar en la calle, grabar un demo quizás...

Me da curiosidad la proyección vocal que tienen los cantantes de música mariachi. Me gustaría tener ESO.

Me gusta rapear, sencillamente nunca es suficiente para mí.

The fastest way to learn

Posted by *EnergetiC* on *October 26, 2004, 2:24 am*
in *Thoughts* ( *a PUA's life*)

Another repost from mASF...

Ok, think back on your high school or college years. Maybe you're still
in them, even better.
What were the classes you did best in, the classes you scored the
highest grades with the least effort? For me, and I'm guessing for you
too, those were the classed that I simply liked doing, the classes I
enjoyed. I've never enjoyed math. I sucked at math. Not so much because
I can't DO math, later on I found out that I actually have some talent
for it, but because I didn't LIKE doing it.

the classes I enjoyed. I've never enjoyed math. I sucked at math.
Not so much because I can't DO math, later on I found out that I
actually have some talent for it, but because I didn't LIKE doing
it. The classes bored me, I had a hard time staying focused and I
didn't do my homework for it. Whenever I got home and wanted to
do my math homework, I'd think back on the classes and would
already feel bored even before I started the homework.
I did great in history-classes though. I loved history. All the
great stories, the discussions on how history affects the
present. I always did my history homework, I know that, but I can
hardly remember ever doing it. That's because it wasn't a 'chore'
to me. I liked doing it.
My math grades sucked. My history grades were always 8's or
higher. In retrospect I can do math as well as history, if I'd
spend the same amount of time on it, with the same focus and
concentration.

So. What made me do so much better at history than at math? One
simple thing: I LOVED IT. I loved doing it, and therefor I had no
trouble staying focused, doing what I had to do to make it work.
The last couple of days I had some talks on IRC with people that
made me think, and then I encountered the same stuff in posts on
mASF (often not directly written, but u can read it between the
lines); some people are not enjoying it. They see sarging and
gaming as a chore, as something they'd rather not do, but must do
because they want to gain skill. Just like I did my math even
though I hated it, because I needed my diploma.
And when you go at it with that attitude, it becomes 10 times as
hard. You will lose focus and motivation, you won't be able to
concentrate on what you need to do and it will simply NOT BE
FUN.

In the past week I finished mt life-plan / mission statement, I
got to watch Future and Hoobie's video's, I got my questions
answered by a guru on live radio, I went sarging with a wing, had
the best time ever and massively improved on the goals I had set
for myself. But the móst important: I am LOVING it! It's the time
of my life. I feel better than ever and that's what makes this so
easy. It doesn't feel like I'm putting an effort into all this.
And it goes way beyond just PUA-stuff. Of course I have to work,
I have to study, I have to clean my house... but when I work, I
think about how getting money will help me on my road to becoming
more skilled with women, how I will be able to afford a nicer
place and the clothes I wanna wear when I go sarging. Even though
I have a really shitty job, I'm loving it for what it will do for
me.
When I study, even when it's a subject I find boring, I still
love it, because it helps me get the diploma, which will get me a
better job, which will help me with my goals... I'm starting to
love every part of my life and that makes it SO much easier to
stay focused, it's almost effortless.

So, when you find yourself thinking of sarging as a 'job' that
has to be done, it might be time to reflect on your goals, on
your inner game, on how to get back the joy in your game (and
maybe your whole life!).

Helping Other People?

2005-07-19T03:18:00.000-04:00

I was just thinking after talking to a colleague about self-improvement and emotional intelligence...

I told him how wonderful is to improve on that matter, just because mostly of the time has been spent on the rational intelligence

One day I was at his house, and I saw what I thought was a mess (his bedroom), so I felt naturally compelled to just give order to things... WHEN my bedroom is INCOMPLETELY ordered. That's like a "big deal" to me... cause I don't have a clue what exactly to do, where to exactly put everything...

On self-improvement, it'd be good to have well-intentioned people that could give you feedback and really help you get in order your internal thoughts or whatever, and me be able to do the same for them. I think many times we require an extra help to get to that place that alone we've not been able to reach.

I'm gonna keep talkin' about this, I ain't finished. One thing that comes to mind, I probably read it on Mike Brescia's newsletter www.todayisyourdaytowin.com that changing others is probably 50 times more difficult than changing yourself... and to not give advice, they don't wanna hear it, they wont take it either... to instead be a SOUNDING BOARD of what they're saying, and they'll find the solution inside their own heads to whatever they need.

Even if a person's room was a mess, if someone entered and ordered without him asking for it, it'd be an insult.

Don't give advice to people, just don't do it. Keep your powerful stuff to yourself. Keep it to only you. But I'd agree on talking about whatever you wanna talk about.

I came into contact with Swingcat's book a few months ago, and skimmed
through a few sections while at a friend's house. It has got to be one
of the most underrated works on PU, specially for experienced guys. The
core ideas are there in MrSex's archive and Rio's, but his take on the
ages old rocks-gold theory was very good. At least I thought he did
great explaining things.

Conversation is a funny thing. If you find yourself unable to say more
than a few things, or if you run out of steam after some time, that is
MAJOR sign of lack of confidence. There must be some primitive instinct
that forces us into silence when in the company of people we perceive to
be of higher "value" (whatever that maybe) than us. It is just our way
of saying "I can't top whatever you said".

I was talking to an ASF bro last weekend and he said he had nothing to
say. Well, guess what, talkative people don't usually have anything to
say either, they're just more forward about expressing their thoughts,
even if they have to sigh aloud "I AM BORED".

Low self-esteem people think they need to contribute postively to the
discussion; they value the interaction. While high-self esteem people
(not necessary intelligent) don't think that highly of talking to
others, and they don't feel obliged to keep up a good vibe so they end
up talking the whole time saying whatever shit that crosses their mind.
In turn, LSE people interpret the bluntness of the HSEs as a crack at
humor ("I can't believe he said that!") and find that admirable and
funny. The cycle continues, while one gains in social value, the other
feels ever more left out :-(

You can reverse this cycle, I did, just don't give a fuck.

Personally, it takes me three nights to get back into PU shape: First
night, do nothing but comedy; games sets, make them laugh, drink, be the
life of the party. Second night, game hot chicks, get social proof, some
make outs. Third night, I tone it all down and approach maybe a girl or
two in the whole night, but it is very profitable.

Last week was supposed to be Night-1, but I quickly found myself getting
good again and I started getting make-outs right around midnight :-)

You wont need to talk that much just make out with chicks; it should be
easier if you STFU and just laughed at her, and asked her if she is a
Smurfette or some shit. Try it, you will see it's not so hard.

I've practiced this concept of 'not giving a fuck'. I like it, since I'm able to now say whatever comes to mind very quickly and feeling great about it.

This is a topic I'd like to keep on exploring, because it gives me a fresh breath of air.

Some posts ago I wrote about reading a book to get your sleep going...

Well I stopped doing that, I tried that for some days...

That just doesn't work. In fact, is counter-productive to your sleep mechanism...

I read it on www.powerfulsleep.com

Got that eBook on getting more quality sleep.

So, if you can, don't read books on your bed, use it for sleeping purposes as possible

"Review" de la Fiesta de la Música 2005

2005-06-19T08:21:00.000-04:00

Buenos días!

Son las 5.07 AM acabo de llegar a casa luego de... a ver...

Cuando conte la hora eran las 10.00 PM

Si supieran que tiempo atras consumir tanto tiempo era un asunto diferente

Antes de entrar, el sonido estaba un poco "que no se entendía"

Estaba tocando la artista "FEDORA"...

Interesante... cuando hicieron su "Rutina de Baile" quedé loco, y me di cuenta de que ese tipo de cosas probablemente con el tiempo causaran el impacto que buscan. Es cuestion de que ellos agarren mayor tarima.

Su voz me parecio bien... más no puedo decir por no haber detallado más de ellos

Luego tocó "El Gran Circo Babilón"...

Me provocaron un poco bailar. ME gustó la energía.

Luego... según parece, tocó "2more" con música electronica. Tocaron por mucho tiempo y la gente se movía... aunque la propuesta me pareció extraña... no se si es que pusieron música de cd y ya...

Llego "el esperado" Sergent García (Sargento García). No sentí su música.

Tocaron MUCHíSIMO tiempo.

LA gente salta que salta.

Yo no. Como 3 veces decían "Quieren más"... y la gente Síiiiiiiiiii...

Ah y no eran el último acto.

Estoy claro en que ellos no tocarán más por Venezuela. Irrespetando las otras 2 bandas, que por cierto las considero mejores y punto: God's New Version y Represión.

Ok, recuerdan que cuanto tocó Sargento García todos estaban saltando y Yo No.

Inviertan los papeles.

Y por supuesto estabamos los fans hardcore que los fuimos a apoyar. LA gente respetó al grupo.

Le diría a Sargento García como dice DJ Trece: "No quiero criticones, raperos con tacones", "Cuerda de merengueros, no se la den de perros, primero regueton y ahora hip-hoperos?"... Nada originales los "Importados"

De veras que la música nacional es mejor

Te puedes "conectar" más...

Sí que me tripie a GNV!!

Luego vi a Represión y estaban OK, headbangin' un poco y después nos fuimos yo y mi clique

Por ahora segun he preguntado, no hay manera de enterarse de eventos musicales por internet...

Sugerencias? se me ocurre ir a preguntar en el roxy y en la mega para que me tengan informado de cualquier novedad.

Bueno, tambien pude saltar un poco con S.G. estaba haciendo como si estuviese saltando cuerdas (me gusto, quedé en tremenda forma física LOL)

Dicen "PROBALA CHIQUI PROBALA" Yo digo "QUITALA CHIQUI QUITALA"... yuck a que se supone que debe saber la p*ps* tw*st?

(Attraction) Six Beta Male Behaviors To Avoid

2005-06-15T17:27:00.000-04:00

This is an insteresting article I read... I wrote an earlier post about behaviors too. I found this on: http://seductiondigest.com/node/218

Six Beta Male Behaviors to Avoid
Submitted by Minger on Tue, 2005-02-22 12:21. article | XY

Psychologically, humans are wired to attach more weight to negative information about someone than they do to positive info. That's why you can be having a great conversation with someone, and then all of a sudden you change your mind about them when they tell you in all seriousness that they were captured by a UFO. It didn't matter that for the past half hour, the person was displaying intellect and being articulate. You've now labeled them as a weirdo based on that one thing.

So it's massively important to avoid negative behaviors that are characteristic of low status males.

1. Approval seeking with your sentences such as ending them with phrases like "isn't it" or "right" should come out only sparingly in your conversation. Otherwise you sound weak willed. Right?

2. Trying to dominate. Instead just do it. Have a stronger psychological reality and mindset than anyone else. Assume people are there to follow you, because you are the shit. So, because of this assumption, of course you can ask people politely to do what you want them to do, rather than bossing them around. (It's interesting to observe military generals, who, despite what you see in movies such as Patton, are usually very polite when they get subordinates to do things.)

3. Being belligerent, either with women or with other men. The alpha male is able to stay calm under pressure and walk away when he needs to. Starting a fight is a sign that you're a man with low status. It also goes without saying that fighting in order to attract the affections of a woman is the ultimate form of approval seeking, which lowers your attractiveness.

4. Talking about what the other person wants to discuss, even if you find it boring. The alpha male only talks about what he wants to. Watch any alpha male in action (e.g., CEOs and politicians) and you will observe this phenomenon. When an alpha male is bored by someone, he won't hesitate to show his disinterest. Instead he'll look away and otherwise display his disregard.

Basically, don't give people your attention until they've earned it.

5. Trying to prove that you're smarter than the person you're talking to. When you look at leaders in corporate boardrooms or governor's mansions, you find that the best leaders are secure enough in themselves that they can listen to those who are more expert than they are.

6. Checking out every pretty girl you see. A man who's getting massively laid sees no point in doing this, so you too should communicate that you have no point either. As you stop being impressed by the hot bodies around you, watch the difference in reactions that you get from women. Watch how they start checking you out and wanting to prove themselves to you, rather than the other way around as it is with most guys.

Alpha males assume leadership-by this I mean that they act as if they are a natural leader in their setting. Therefore they don't care much about what others think. They do their own thing and don't seek approval. However, at the same time, they also offer a benefit to those who follow them, whether it's social status, excitement, or stimulating conversation.

Other people submit to the alpha's reality because either they want to (since alpha males talk about interesting topics) or because everyone else is paying attention to the alpha male.

The alpha male conversation style is interesting. Why is this? Easy! Because his conversational topics are things that he finds fascinating, and other people are sucked into his reality, so as a consequence they find them interesting too.

What's the easiest way to have stuff to talk about? It's simple. Have an exciting, well-balanced life, and you will naturally exude attractiveness to women. Keep busy with work, your social life, activities, and self-improvement. Don't just sit around playing video games. Go skydiving, take dance lessons, call an old friend and hang out with them. Basically, when your life is fun and interesting, you have tons of things to talk about with women.

And when you talk to women, lead the conversation. Captivate her attention.

As you work on your behaviors, you will also work on adopting the mindset of an alpha male. The first thing I notice that all alpha males have in common is that they assume people will follow their lead. They're not bossy.

Bossiness can quickly backfire because few people like to be ordered around. So do your thing and be passionate about it, and people will be drawn into your reality. Just act as if people will follow you, and believe that they will, and you'll find that they will want to adhere to your wishes.

This brings up an important point. Don't observe reality and then adjust yourself to it. Instead create your own reality. This means act as if events are the way you would like them to be.

Act as if you are a catch for any woman. Act as if pussy is no big deal to you, since it's not a big deal to men who get laid all the time. (Although you may not have much sex, if any, you still want to model the mindset of men who do.) Act as if all your manly desires are perfectly natural. Certainly you have no reason to apologize for or cover up your sex drive the way nice guys do!

Act as if you're not affected that much by what a woman thinks, since what youthink is a lot more important. Paradoxically, women will respect you a lot more for this.

A lot of guys get caught up in the trap of constantly wondering what a woman is thinking. "Gee, when she rubs her glass in response to me telling her a joke, does that mean she likes me?"* [* FYI, when a woman rubs a glass sensually, that is indeed an attraction signal.] Instead just realize that there's a horny, primal woman within her who wants to have mad, passionate sex with you. Just be an attractive guy, and relax and give her a chance to become attracted to you. If she doesn't accept the gift of your companionship, then that's her loss.

Be optimistic. Ever notice how the best athletes such as Deion Sanders, Michael Jordan, and Tiger Woods know that they will do well? Success comes from confidence. Assume you will succeed, and that increases the odds that you will. Assume that you are irresistible to women.

Be powerful and resolute. But at the same time, be natural and fun. Be a bit of a bad boy. Have a devilish smile on your face if you want. You're an exciting man who women should want.

Do what you please in life. Be true to your emotions. If you don't want to do something, then don't. Be honest with yourself.

What does this mean? If you want to give a homeless man some change, then do it. If you want to help an old lady across the street, then go for it. If you want to open doors for your girlfriend, do it. Just don't feel like you have to do any of those things because it's expected of you. Do things because you want to do them.

In the end, when you become an alpha male, the man who is true to himself, you will experience the happiest time of your life. Getting laid will just be an after effect.

(Attraction) One More Behavior To Avoid...

2005-06-14T17:52:00.000-04:00

Hello...

By browsing www.seductiondigest.com I found an article about 6 male beta behaviors to avoid...

Today I went out for a walk...

The thing is I was thinking about one of those concepts that goes something like this: "If you are massively getting laid, then you wouldn't be staring at any woman, because of the abundance you live in"...

Well... I got to see one girl sitting alone, I was wondering ¿Do I like this girl? She looked at me too... I said to myself "Yes"... then kept on walking...

The thing is I've noticed I say things outloud after I see a good looking girl...

Things like: "Damn!!"... Today I said "Yes she looks good..."

There's something to attraction sometimes... it's like you hate the person a little bit, that creates tension, but you also feel attracted to her...

What I want to do anytime is to not say fluff to myself outloud, no, none of that stuff. Why? First of all I'm interested about increasing my confidence... this correction on behavior surely will help... at least that's what my actual thoughts are...

'till next time,

2005-06-13T03:34:00.000-04:00

Appreciating Our Past

It is easy to be negative about past mistakes and unhappiness. But it is much more healing to look at ourselves and our past in the light of experience, acceptance, and growth.

Our past is a series of lessons that advance us to higher levels of living and loving. The relationships we entered, stayed in, or ended taught us necessary lessons.

Some of us have emerged from the most painful circumstances with strong insights about who we are and what we want. Our mistakes? Necessary. Our frustrations, failures, and sometimes stumbling attempts at growth and progress? Necessary too. Each step of the way, we learned. We went through exactly the experiences we need to, to become who we are today. Each step of the way, we progressed. Is our past a mistake? No. The only mistake we can make is mistaking that for the truth.

Today, God, help me let go of negative thoughts I may be harboring about my past circumstances or relationships. I can accept, with gratitude, all that has brought me to today.

(Artículo) Cstrike un juego de ACTITUD (The Right Attitude) www.ciberatletas.com

2005-06-11T00:38:00.000-04:00

Counter-Strike un juego de actitud

En ESEA han escrito un articulo de análisis bastante interesante y con el cual muchos aquellos relacionados con Cstrike se pueden sentir identificados. Counter-Strike un juego de Actitud. ¿Que opinas de esto?. cA.com te trae este articulo en español...

¿Que hace a un equipo ser un Buen equipo? Muchas organizaciones han tratado de averiguar esto. ¿Son los grandes nombres los que siempre tienen un buen desempeño en los torneos o son los jugadores desconocidos que nadie espera que lo hagan bien?. Existen y siempre existirán equipos que estarán conformados por grandes nombres, y que crearan cierta expectativa. Pero por otra parte siempre habrán equipos que nadie espera que lo hagan bien, pero terminan convirtiéndose en unos de los mejores. Y todo esto tiene que ver con la actitud.

Por ejemplo echemos un vistazo a Ninjas in Pyjamas (No me gusta juzgar pero ellos son el ejemplo perfecto). Un equipo que probablemente contaba con los nombres mas grandes de la escena del Counter-Strike, incluyendo el nombre del equipo. Eran conocidos por ser invencibles y muchos predecían que este equipo rara vez perdía un evento. Pero está gran expectativa sería su caída.

La expectativa que rodeaba a Ninjas in Pyjamas cambio sus actitudes. Todos creían que eran los mejores, todos creían que eran invencibles y todos creían que eran indetenibles. Esto eventualmente cambio sus formas de pensar hasta que su actitud llego a ser "Somos los mejores, para que tendríamos que practicar tanto".

Creanlo o no, eso era lo que Ninjas in Pyjamas estaban pensando. En una entrevista reciente Heaton comentó al mundo que el equipo no tenia la actitud adecuada para practicar lo suficientemente fuerte para ser los mejores del mundo. A ciencia cierta todo el mundo suponía que ellos ganarían cualquier evento, ¿no?. Entonces, ¿como NiP pensaba ganar a equipos como CoL cuyo roster está conformado por 5 jugadores con las mejores actitudes en el juego?

La realidad es que un equipo como CoL quiere practicar, quieren trabajar duro y lo mas importante, quieren ganar. Esta es la razón por la cual CoL es uno de los mejores equipos actualmente. Trabajan muy duro y QUIEREN trabajar duro. fRoD es uno de los jugadores con mejor ética de trabajo que he visto, y actualmente es reconocido como uno de los mejores jugadores del mundo. ¿Coincidencia?

Todo lo que necesitas para ser el mejor es trabajar en tu actitud. No puedes esperar que un equipo haga un buen trabajo si las actitudes de sus integrantes no son las correctas. Una buena actitud permite a los jugadores a trabajar en equipo, arreglar errores, mantener la calma y no molestarse cuando algo sale mal.

No se necesitan los mejores jugadores para ganar. Ni siquiera se necesitan jugadores increíbles para ganar. Lo que si se necesita es una buena actitud en el juego. El ganar requiere desearlo, tienes que querer ganar y tienes que querer trabajar duro para ganar. Cientos de equipos allá afuera están tratando de probar que son los mejores, y de estos equipos es que veremos surgir los nuevos grandes nombres del Counter-Strike.

¿Alguien recuerda el CDT? ¿Canadian Dream Team?. "Los mejores" jugadores de Canada (Shag, Steel, revenge, wiseguy). Crearon un Pug con los mejores jugadores de Canada para ganar WCG e ir a las finales en Korea (2003). Fueron vencidos bastante fácil. Conflictos entre Shag y Steel generaron una muy mala actitud que se expandió a todo el equipo.

Lo que la gente debe entender es que un jugador es solamente tan bueno como su equipo. Cinco personas forman un equipo.

Hi Dan :-)

You have posted a well reasoned and well thought out account of your situation and you obviously have no axes to grind, etc. What you are describing makes a lot of sense; I don't speak for RSD and I don't even know the guys personaly, other than seeing them in ASF, but I will try to give you my two Zimbabwean cents:

YOU NEED TO FIND YOUR OWN SOURCE OF CONFIDENCE AND OPTIMISM.

This game is a bitch sometimes, but you only realize that when you have a long sequence of fuck ups and/or when some chick totally shits on you. With time, your confidence will go down and your results deteriorate.

What you need to do is: 1) Work on feeling genuinly comfortable with yourself; don't build your self-worth on how many women you're with or wether you're getting some or not. 2) Find something that makes you feel cool.

For #1 I had no problem with it, I always felt great about myself. Now for #2 I did many things, I hope you too can benefit from them:

1) I devided my gaming universe to two; I would go out clubbing and approach cool hot club chicks just for the sake of training and sharpening my claws, I would push each interaction as far as it goes, I would try kino, quick kiss, weird lines, weird body language like severe back turns, I would try out all the shit I read in ASF, after I crashed and burned and felt "good", I would turn to AFC chicks in daytime game and see my results SHINE. Go ahead, do that. Practice on hotties at night, then come back to AFC chicks. People say HBs and normal chicks require different game .. BULLSHIT. It's all about being cocky and funny, coming up with crazy shit to say, being cool, being able to contribute to the conversation and show her new interesting stuff, etc.

2) STOP WINGING. Going out with other ASFers, specially if they're beginers or timid or have no game .. SUCKS. You two, or three, or four, will go out and just nag at each other like the Marge Simpson sisters. There is no better way to amplify negative self image than to join others in the same boat. It's OK to hang out, talk, exchange ideas, as long as you know that you're not "together" and each of you is free to approach whatever chick he wants and take off with her anytime. Then, your association is more like a chat during a cigratte break, rather than a support group.

3) Constantly get back to the basics. Keep in mind it's about FUCKING, not "talking" or "gaming" or "ingaging". Sometimes primitive GM-based cavemaning is all it takes. Sometimes the girl just wants to be cared for and treated nicely and kindly; not all chicks give it up because they're negged and called a powerpuff girl.

4) Mercilessly borrow, steal, copy, and cajole ideas from others (I didn't say "buy" because I never paid for shit) There is no one great method, no silver bullet, they all work sometimes and don't other times. SS offers the best rapport based game, EVing is what romance is made of. MM has the best skills for clubbing, I am not so sure of Mystery later systems like the 8-step programme. The RSD guys, you know, have serious game, you would be stupid to dismiss the tome of knowledge put out by TD; off the top of my head; the 25-Points, Stealing Horny Chicks, How to Really PU, and Playing Hard to Get are stuff I have read, reread, and fucking changed my life. I met Juggler and basically jump started my social skills, I don't even think I knew how to be "normal" before meeting juggler, I was into show off and fast cars, I used to stand at street corners and wink at girls, and all sorts of weird shit.

Having said that, none of it is religion. Be prepared to discover some technique USELESS and start using another. You will find about sarging venues and optimum times for going out; you're in D.C. so I can share some stuff with you, etc.

My point is that none of this stuff is perfect and you will have to adapt it to yourself. PU requires a change in personality, but only you know to which extent is this change necessary. You can go as primitive and natural as you want and stick to stuff by Gunwitch, for example, or you can aim for gaming entire clubs and mastering the hot spots of the night life, then you would probably combine stuff by Mystery and TD, etc.

The most impactful things for me were:

"YOU NEED TO FIND YOUR OWN SOURCE OF CONFIDENCE AND OPTIMISM."

Later I've realized that I've become an Optimist... and you know what? everyday this is increasing! I'm constantly working on that area... becoming more positive, and there are puzzles for me that are beginning to be solved. It's very important for me to discover the sources of confidence and optimism, be it certain authors, like Alessandro, certain tapes, stuff that works for me, and so on...

"What you need to do is: 1) Work on feeling genuinly comfortable with yourself; don't build your self-worth on how many women you're with or wether you're getting some or not. 2) Find something that makes you feel cool."

I'm realizing that I'm becoming more and more comfortable with myself...

A point I will and am internalizing is "not building my self-worth on how many women I'm with or whether I'm getting some or not"... how could I get this concept? What could help me do that? That Matt Furey quote about approval is very key to this... If I were to build my self-worth on how many women I'm with or if I'm getting some or not is a seeking approval mechanism by itself...

Well... about number 2... I won't tell ;-)

2005-05-27T12:56:00.000-04:00

This is a reminder...

I think this little change can improve how I feel about any conversation I'm having... I think that sometimes people throw little tests... and one of them is asking you to repeat something...

Or maybe we're deaf... probably too

I'm not saying totally say something different than you meant to say when they "didn't hear you", but don't literally repeat what you just said... instead, say the same thing with different words...

Gosh... gotta remember this! It gives me more power in any conversation...

The other idea is similar, and it's related... Purposedly ignore what the person is saying to you... and do it seldomly... because I think if you do it too much you'll just be... (fill blank)

(Attraction) Social Contribution: A Frame For Life

2005-05-27T07:49:00.000-04:00

Well... This post is about ideas hitting my brain... about men and women... about approaches from men to women...

I just recently that women have to daily deal with competition from other women... be it the workplace, the clubs, at home... everywhere!

So, because of this... I'd say they're more TRAINED... they're constantly rehearsing. For example, I have a friend who happens to be a woman... and I remember the days when I just accusing of being very 'coquette'... and I pointed out the fact the she just can't help herself from accidentally or purposedly FLIRTING!... of course she denied it at first and told me why people call her on being a 'coquette'... she even told me how she went shopping with her mom, and her mom was like "Girl, would you PLEASE stop flirting so HARDCORE?"

After that conversation, I kept calling her on being 'so flirtatious'... but she didn't define herself as a 'coquette'... I should ask her something like "Do you define yourself as a 'coquette'?" to get rid of that interrogant...

I have no idea who told me this: "women are naturally flirtatious"... yea, I think it was a mature woman who clearly admited that fact...

How about US men? Well... I'm not sure... BUT I think we need to conciously understand these facts, and begin some "lifting" on the gym of "attraction", specially "flirting"...

I think one of the humanity's purpose is to serve. People have the purpose of giving a Social Contribution to this world... to impact someone's life... to give DIRECTIONS... to MAKE THINGS happen... to help others REACH NEW LEVELS OF KNOWLEDGE... provide EXPERIENCE... MOTIVATE... Men and Women... BOTH

If a man approaches a woman... the woman's purpose is to give this man a DIRECTION for him to know what he's doing RIGHT... to MAKE A NEW LOVE happen... to help him UNDERSTAND the skills of "attraction", "comfort" and "flirting", providing him EXPERIENCE to MOTIVATE him keep going on his own path he's chosen or chosing...

Two main benefits for the woman... whether this man is skilled or about to become skilled... HE provides HER: EXPERIENCE... she's also filling her life purpose by doing something to serve the HUMANITY... this will help her feel more feminine... feel more appreciated and loved, and MOTIVATED!! She's sharing information, she's showing she's open to life and aware of how great her life can be if she justs OPENS HER MIND A LITTLE BIT

Women's purpose is to provide love to the whole world

May 2005 Review part I (Sound is back!)

2005-05-26T03:47:00.000-04:00

I very seldomly talk about private stuff... but I'll make an exception today...

Topics that will be talked about:

- My random daily stuff
- Cool websites I've found
- Reflexions

One site I found owned to a colleague's recommendation is: Tucker Max A simple way to describe it: Stories of how a self-called "asshole" lives the life without apologizing about his behavior and practically ignoring society's rules... all this while mercesly mocking and making fun of everything and everyone... I've gotten many laughs so far... Real Life Rules!

So... While surfing that site... I found this link: Combat Conditioning by Matt Furey... It sounds really interesting... So I subscribed to the newsletter... and then got the vids and the ebooks! His proposal about excercises and the benefits he offers by doing his system are astonishing, and pretty "wantable"... like having a better flexibility, great strenght... without doing weights and being more independent form going to a gym. I like the idea of doing something different than other people. I like the idea of having a secret advantage over other people... I guess soon will begin my journey on really improving the BODY, MIND & SPIRIT... to the roof!! no limits!!

My PC had no soundcard functioning for I guess a month... I bought 20 CD-R's and have been persistenly burning new CD'S so I can listen to my computer stuff on the CD players: the one from the computer and the other one at my bedroom. I listened to some CD's many times, rediscovered my love for music albums... Today I was messing with the configuration, and I got to discover what was going on... I started alsa and BAM! the sound is back! So now I will be able to hear the sound from all these videos I've been downloading... Starting with the bunch of movies I've successfully burned into CD, the Matt Furey's Combat Conditioning Videos, the 50 cent music videos... and other clips too!

It's been 5 days or more since I'm alone attending the appartment... let me say it's quite a challenge... Luckily I can handle it...

More about that on the next part of the review!

Greetings,

(Español) Reseña de Mini-Seminario de Harold Finch en Maracaibo Mayo 2005 Parte I

2005-05-25T14:40:00.000-04:00

Buenas... Este mini-seminario me pude informar a través de mi asistencia a una de las charlas gratuitas en Ailuz que se presentan todos los jueves de 7 pm en adelante acá en la ciudad de Maracaibo.

Lo primero que me pareció curioso es que Harold Finch no habla español, y durante todo el mini-seminario hizo empleo de un intérprete (persona que traduce lo que está diciendo la persona). Algo que me faltó decir es que la charla fue gratuita. Bien... nos dieron un librito llamado "Las Tres Llaves que abren la puerta al Gran Éxito" y nos dieron un bolígrafo. Al final del mini-seminario nos lo quitaron de vuelta... ahí me dí cuenta porque los bolígrafos no escribian tan claramente como unos nuevos. Al principio estaba sentado al lado de una señorita que me pregunta: "Eres cristiano?" Luego de un ratico pensando, respondí: "no, no, no, no soy cristiano". En ese momento me dí cuenta de eso. Y inmediatamente al decirle eso, sentí como ella comenzó a proyectar una energía negativa hacia mí... así que momentos después le pedí al que estaba al lado mío que me intercambiara puestos, aparte de que ella aplaudía muy fuerte y me interrumpía mi tren de pensamiento.

Estas fueron mis notas durante el evento...

Habló del:
Sentido de Llenura... Que el éxito no es la fortuna ni la fama... porque puedes tener fortuna y fama y ser o sentirte miserable... "Miserable" no es éxito

El éxito representa alcanzar los deseos del corazón

No es "querer ser rico"... es seguir los deseos del corazón...

Sentido de Gozo...

La persona promedio usa menos del 10% de su poder mental...
Mi comentario: Usar más de tu mente

La gente que logró el éxito tenía habilidad PROMEDIO

Deseo Promedio no es suficiente... hay que tener un Gran Deseo, una Gran Pasión... con Gran Deseo nada es imposible... la gente exitosa son los soñadores que son visionarios... No dejamos de soñar porque "nos ponemos viejos"

"nos ponemos viejos" porque dejamos de soñar

El caerse es parte del éxito

Debemos persistir

Con relación al factor clave del éxito: No tanto el dinero, sino la creatividad y las ideas

Hay miles de ideas para que las transformes en realidad

Mi comentario: Estudiar gente admirable

Las personas exitosas: Ellos nacieron con propósito. Ellos creen en ellos mismos.

Persiste... No dejes que nada te distraiga...

Este es un comentario que hice en un post de Chente Blog Viviendo la realidad, y escribiéndola al desnudo denominado "Solucionando el dilema de las cámaras"; y este es el enlace de referencia: http://chente.blogs.com/chente_blog/2005/05/solucionado_el_.html

Hey que tal. Probablemente por ver www.phil-flash.com (este tipo fotografía modelos y ese es su estilo de vida y su hobby) o por haber leído algo de tus escritos con respecto a la fotografía, o quizás el incentivo a tener una camara que hay en los foros... que me suena interesante tomar la fotografía como un nuevo pasatiempo.

Me gustaría bastante explorar un poco eso, y tambien tener a disposición más fotos de mí y mi ambiente, etc, etc, mientras más interesante se haga la vida mejor...

The History Of Rap

2005-05-03T15:50:00.000-04:00

Here it is: A quick historical review from 1970 to 1997 of the most important happenings and breakthroughs in rap music:

The History Of Rap

Here are some words that made an impact from that site:

Lil' Kim:
"She Refused to be repressed by negative comments and feminists"

Busta Rhymes:
"That's just the nature of life. Life never stays at one level. There's no limit to things. I like to go where I haven't gone before. It's the best way to manifest my growth, to manifest it through music"

What you see is what you get?

2005-05-02T00:18:00.000-04:00

I'm starting to understand this...

I saw this movie where they were watching TV and learning all they watched. From that I understand that humans, we people learn from what we see. People are probably living with things they watched on TV.

I've been in talks about many interesting topics. I heard that people do not learn from what others try to impose them, people learn from what they see

This can be related to the basic principle of surrounding yourself with positive people, positive examples of living, people who are the way you wanna be, encouraging ones; to watch useful tv programs, avoid soap operas or anything with weak content; the importance of the tapes, books, music, videos that form your collection; to go to seminars...

When you can see things in your mind, that's one of the main points that you do learn.

You can probably learn anything

2005-05-01T23:44:00.000-04:00

One thought here is that you can learn anything, you just need the right guidance. If one book does not work, pick another one.

Getting the Right Focus

2005-04-28T08:18:00.000-04:00

Getting the Right Focus...

This is very important... as to say CRUCIAL to one's life

This is a factor that can help 'constantly improving', which is one of the main aspects of my life I'm looking forward to have...

Gonna quote the David DeAngelo Interview with Stephen Special Report:

"Don't get too obsessed with learning how to meet women.

But DO get obsessed with having a great life.

THAT is the key."

Wow! What an excellent change of focus. For example, I've started going to mini-seminars; I'm probably going to a 1 or 2 day seminar which is going to be held this weekend.

I'm looking forward to see great acomplishments happening after this change of mentality!

to everyone else it does not matter if you improve, succeed, lose, win the lottery....

2005-04-25T07:32:00.000-04:00

I have to put this thought out so it gets more solid in my life...

Let's start with family. If you become rich, it does not matter, they might be happy for you that you got rich, but jealous 'cause they aren't; or they will be suspicious like 'where did you get that money?'. SOOoooooo thinking that anybody will approve you if you do X thing is a lost quest, BECAUSE they will have SOMETHING ELSE for you to do!!!

Friends? Well, if you go to China and travel around the world, it won't matter to them anyways, they take you as you are. If you stay at home all the time, it won't matter, they're your friends, you shouldn't be thinking what anybody will think of you if you accomplish X thing, or if you DO NOT accomplish anything AT ALL!

I'm gonna quote Vince Vaugh (Peter La Fleur) from the movie Dodgeball:

Peter La Fleur: I found that if you have a goal, that you might not reach it. But if you don't have one, then you are never disappointed. And I gotta tell ya... it feels phenomenal.

Or Donal Logue (Dex) from the movie The Tao of Steve:

Dex: Doing stuff is overrated. Like Hitler. He did a lot. But don't we all wish he woulda just stayed home and gotten stoned?

------------------------------------------
Think about it. You parents, they will support you when you are down, and evenly when you're up. The same as with people who DO like you.

So, I can do whatever I want, people know I'm always on to something, they find it weird when I'm not. They would love me anyways if I don't get back to college and get a degree on Languages. Come on, if I do anything it's gotta, it's gonna be for me, because I enjoy it and I decided to do it to complement myself.

I agree, achieving stuff is overrated.

I have a family member who I have now come to realized he does accept me. I don't need to go do anything for him to feel respect for me, he already does; what I've noticed is he does what he can to see me doing something for my life, more about the economy, ya know?

Circle of People

2005-04-25T07:11:00.000-04:00

Since some days i've been wanting to write about this, and I expect to get more clearer on this subject.

I want to sorround myself with the best people. An All-Star team of hand-picked people who are positive and share common interests with me.

About this, it's a great idea to get pictures of you with people you admire and are powerful.

How do I find these people? First thing that comes to mind is pursuing those things which are of your own interest, then begin making friends with some of them.

I want this to happen. I have the desire and I believe it is posible and will happen. It is already happening!

Reading as a way to ease the sleep process

2005-04-23T22:30:00.000-04:00

Sometimes I just get into bed, only to find my mind working out a lot of great ideas that I just go Get Up to write them down.

Today I starting reading the book "Don Quijote". I really want to read this, because there are elements which are useful on my own quest. Defining my reality, being who I wanna be are concepts that come to mind. Also, I can take some ideas, like waking up very early in the morning, like Don Quijote does.

So I read the first chapter on the bed, then it was very easy for me to fall to sleep!

Now, anytime I wanna get some rest cause I gotta wake up early in the morning, I'll just read a book!

What's the journey? To Enjoy it!
