on love

The distinction between the what and the who is the question that haunts us. Between what you love about about someone...smile, sense of humor, kindness...and the who, the actual person...bitch. The problem arises then when one of the parties sees the who and the other the what, the problem is the incapability to accept people as they are, with their faults and their passions. The problem is to aim to shape others,it is that we are blind and  we manage to walk pass and not even see each other. The virtue is that we get used to it, and we realize that life is much simpler than it seems

Once you've heard a song with someone, once it means something to you both, whenever you hear it again, regardless of time or distance it brings you back to that very moment. It reminds you that the only way to forget is to remember from time to time. And the only way to forgive is to develop affection, even for the bittersweet individuals that made you inconsistently joyful, without expecting to be loved in return. Peter & Bjorn - Young folks

Sometimes we ought to fall to lift ourselves up. I guess drinking and smoking are destructive habits that we embrace so commonly in our existence. We begin with a bottle, and a cigarette and we end falling, throwing up, hitting, insulting, and hopefully still alive. I am quite ashamed to reach a point in which I realize that I am destroying myself, it hurts. It's a pain that does not know of limits, because the limit itself it’s the social circle you're in and your willpower. If you're 'cool' you have to drink...more than others. If you're not...well then, you are better off. And if you have the willpower of a monkey then you might have some issues as well.

This New Year, this painful beginning of the new year has a purpose though. It is the call, it is the one call that humanity often undermines, and forgets. It is the disgusting sin that us humans tend to embrace, the sin of forgetfulness. It is rather odd to find a person who drinks and has not had a bad experience doing it. So then...Why do you drink? Is it to celebrate, or to hide? A distinction however must be made, and those who learn how to drink well...they're older. And to be honest, I think I have learnt my lesson, thankfully without harming others in my schooling. There is a time in one’s lifetime that one must step back from the mainstream crap, and take a look in the mirror, and feel how one is not really doing what one wants.

There should be a time when people learn to feel alone, another time when they remember to Care. But most importantly ‘times’ are about retaining how much we do forget. Life is a fickle road. Getting lost only leads you the right way…somewhere

So airports

Anywhere

“Please make sure to never leave your baggage unattended” Who will leave their bags lying around. Seriously, how retarded to they think you are that we need to be reminded every 10 minutes.

At the gate:

“Please do not step on the red carpet, if you are in economy class go through the line on the left, the other line is for our mile members and first class passengers” Why would you say this right in front of an elderly women, maybe she made a mistake, maybe she should get a carpet, a purple one, that smells like cabbage, because this women did smell like cabbage and was wearing purple…odd. So what to do? Approach the gate, and when you are giving your ticket to the lady in the counter step on the red carpet while keeping eye contact. Yes, maybe the carpet is not only designed for rich people, maybe it shouldn’t matter if you’re poor, or you don’t have a stupid miles card. We should all get good service.

At the pick-up area

“Hey man can I bum a cigarette of you”

“Sure, I hate flying, is not very smoker friendly”

“yeah man, where are you from”

“Colombia, you?”

“Switzerland”

“So what are you doing in the states”

“Well I moved here when I was very little, I was supposed to go to new years to New York. To see Steve Angello playing”

“Man, he is awesome, have you heard sweedish house mafia?”

“Yeah”

“You should download the creamfields 2010 live album, its one of the best albums I’ve heard in a while”

“I was there, it was pretty sick” “here check these videos”

“damn, that’s pretty sweet. My dream is to see SHM live someday”

“yeah they’re pretty good, Anyhow man, thanks for the cigarette”

[‘knuckles handshake’ goodbye]

Airports, they are just so fun!
