the missing link~

Hey there folks.

El titulo de este post se refiere, obviamente, al año 2009, which is not dead. Yet.

Tatsuya Ishida en Sinfest lo ilustra mucho mejor. En fin, estoy aca para hacer un recuento de…cosas, del año dos mil nueve en general. Generalmente no hago este tipo de cosas, pero supongo que el comienzo del final de una decada lo amerita.

El año pasado hice un post que recopilaba un poco de lo mejor que he escrito, segun obviamente mi criterio. No se si realmente decir “lo mejor” creo que es mas “lo que mas me gusto” en realidad considero que son los escritos que mejor me definen. Si se preguntan si someone fucked up my project from back then, the answer is no. In fact it’s still running. Link is an awesome sysadmin. You better believe it.

Si vamos un poco mas atras encontraremos que en 2007 escribi algo que relacionaba a mis dos anteriores parejas en un mismo escrito. Bastante ironico, no?

Y si quisiesemos ir un poco mas, mas, maaaaas atras, veriamos que en el 2003 simplemente me limite a desear un feliz año 2004. Creo que todo era mas simple back then. Extraño de una u otra manera la simpleza de esos años.

Hay mas random babble despues del corte. No digan luego que no se los adverti.

Here I stand, victorious
The only man who made you come
Oh,when you cried you cried for us
But when we died you died alone
Gravity’s calling
Don’t go home
Where are we?

So, this will probably be the last post of ze year, I’m going to Maracaibo tomorrow, I guess I’ll be okay enough to travel tomorrow, yesterday I was pretty sick. Yuck.

I did all I had to do to leave my projects up and running at work. Please god, don’t let em fuck it up while I’m gone. Pretty please? Is that too much to ask? DO NOT FUCK UP WHAT I’VE BEEN WORKING ON!

Jesus. Jesus in a Camper Van!

Anyway.

I wanted this post to be a recollection of what I like to call, my most interesting posts. Interesting to whom, you may ask? Well, duh. To me. In case you haven’t noticed this whole blog revolves around me, what happens to me and well. What I like, I guess.

Did what I could for one of us
I always thought it was for you
And when I lied
Oh I lied for us
Because you never heard the truth

So, I guess this is a good start. I’ve referenced this post a lot in the past. And I guess I know why: because it was like an open deep wound that time could not heal. Or so I thought. CHANGE. Change you can REALLY believe in well, I believe I’ve changed, a little at least. Here’s an interesting fact: title of that post does not come form sinfest, it’s what Paul Kellerman tells Sara Tancredi on Prison Break. But I liked his acting as a junkie so much that I had to include it somewhere in here. gotta love Mr. Adelstein.

So, about that change thing, here’s part of what I’ve done to change Am I (like Robbie says) a better man now? I’ve no idea. I sure hope so.

I threw a huuuuge fit at people here. Wow, I really did write about how I felt. That’s good.

And, I’m not expecting my upcoming birthday to be any different but, looking back at the last one and finding this made me all warm and fuzzy on the inside, I know, don’t need to tell me. She’s been a good friend.

I guess I’ll end this post with a bang. With something deep and something random (and not something blue, or red in Dexter’s case)

That’s all for this year. Oh, and as a bonus post, you can check this out. Might explain some stuff. And yes, that’s not a sinfest strip title but Handsome Man, by R. Williams. This post is gonna be a track back nightmare.

Hay un monton de propositos para mi el Año que viene. 2009 deberia ser el Año, dejenme volver a decir eso. EL AÑO. Si, el Año. El año de los cambios. Cambios en los que de verdad pueda creer. El cambio no va y toca a tu puerta, tienes que ir detras del culprit, tumbarlo y estrangularlo, hasta que decida trabajar contigo. I just hope 2009 can live up to the hype. I promise to write some more in Spanish next year as well. But I love English. Not that I’m that awesome at it.

Have a good one boys and girls.

Happy new year.

So, news about my demise are mostly, inaccurate. I’m stealing this line off Greg Dean (Real Life Comics anyone?) but with a twist.

I’ll be taking a short vacation from Dec 30th  till Jan 8th. As usual (and a lot like last year) I’ll be going to Maracaibo. There are more than a ton of reasons to spend new year there and not here. But I guess I’ll spare you the details.

On Dec 25th I had to make a delivery to as good friend of mine, kind of a present. You see, last December (25th mind you) I (We) spent it in a very dangerous place (thanks to your personal super hero) and we managed to stay at a safe place, thanks to a good friend. You see I don’t mind taking such risks when It’s only me. When I’m alone. But, that time I was with a long time friend and someone I love to pieces (or loved? it’s a really thin line I guess) and I endangered them. I felt really bad about it back then. And that thing only made us grew apart. I figured she wouldn’t understand how I felt. How could she anyway? I never told her exactly how I felt, I just shut her out, like I always did. I guess she thought I was mad at her (because of … I’ve no idea really) when I was really mad at me. See, I still feel bad about this, really bad. I guess these are the regrets I always talk about. She’ll never know. I was mad at me because I endangered her for no reason. I was mad because she was with me. I could have spent the day in bed with her but no. I had to swim against the current. Always against the grain!

Now, why am I telling this story now? I guess My selective memory (in case yer wondering that’s reception or retrieval of only some of the events in an experience) totally erased that event from my memories about her. But that long time friend, who was with us in that journey, (duh) basically reminded me of what happened on this very same day (December 25th 2007) a year ago (sometimes blogs are not the only time machines available) and brought back the memory. Vividly.

That’s why I’ve decided to write about this now, so this will serve myself as a reminder of how bad I messed up in the past for shutting people out and what a good friend he is for reminding me of something so horrible. And I mean this in the best possible way.

And no, nothing horribly bad happened to either of us back then, with my luck (I guess?) we managed to come back safe and sound.

And yes, I did learn my lesson, When I embark in such pointless adventures, even against my own judgment, I’m not taking anybody with me.

Anyway!

One more day of slave labor, I mean, work, and then I’m off for a week, woohoo!

Merry Christmas and a Happy new year lads and lasses!
