José !

with everything going on currently i needed a pit stop, so yesterday i came back home and fell asleep at 6:30 pm, (woke up at 12 watched 2 episodes of "criminal minds" then fell back asleep).
I woke up early, very energetic, showered, prepared and enjoyed my breakfast and off i went to work, well not really, since my dear, beloved,unfaithful, piece of... car refused to start. I tried for 1 hour in vain. I didn't lose my good mood and my current "positive attitude" though so i called a taxi to get to work.
5 minutes and here he was, an old man , with "youssef 2lay2el's" head wear asking if i was the one who called.
I hopped in and i swear that even before i fastened my seat belt he started talking.
He asked for my name, age and destination...the answers to these three questions were the only thing i said the whole 45 minute trip cause he took over, i can literally write his detailed biography till march 03 2009.

Mr.Taxi: listen to me son, and learn from my mistakes, i 'm new to this thing, i used to be a car dealer, i lived in Europe and Latin America, but one son of a bitch that i trusted like my own brother stole everything while i was abroad, do u handle your own work or u have help? don't answer. if you have help they are screwing you over...do u know what i tell my son ? he's almost your age . I tell him my story , it goes like this , i was born in 1952 .....

The voice in my head : Oh boy, is he serious?!

we went through his childhood, his parents, his teenage years, his girlfriends, his marriage, his kids (their respective lives), his sister's divorce, his career, the theft, the traveling, his night life while traveling : , his hobbies, his friends, his politic opinion, his day and after a painfully slow 45 minutes we got to the part where he asked if i was the one who called for a taxi .
As i was paying and unfastening the seat belt , he shouts to say ...

Mr.Taxi: If u need anything I'm José, do not hesitate !

The voice in my head: How the Hell am i going to find you ? should i google you or add you on facebook or something? no way José ... just let me be with my good mood !

Reaching for Serenity... clearing my mind for the next phase

Positive

In order to go through this phase of "decision making" and as a way of stress handeling, i'm adopting a new attitude towards things and situations ... a positive attitude !
I have no idea how long it will last, but till now it's working properly.
For example, yesterday night the front tire of my car blew up, almost crashed, couldn't change it because the wheel wrench didn't fit the screws, there was no open repair shop within a 5 Km radius, it was 10 p.m, and i was already exhausted ! Usually in such circumstances, i would kick my car, curse the manufacturer, insult the country of origin, and shout and swear loudly so that the owner of that repair shop, 5 Km away, could hear my frustration ... But i didn't. I stepped out of the car, leaned on it and started laughing out loud like if i'm watching Seinfeld !
Is this a good or a bad sign , permanent or temporary... I have no idea :)

Overloading...

it has been a while ...
these last couple of weeks were very frustrating and very charged .
Views i had about my future changed or at least were masked by a blury layer in some parts and became clearer in other parts .
Stress reached a new high score which drove me to fundamental decisions ...
i'll be elaborating about this phase later on ... but for now , i need to think .

Connect via belly button...


Our life changed dramatically with all this technology.Whatever your believes are about creation and evolution,"a Darwin fan, a Mother Nature supporter, a biblical follower", disregarding the one responsible for the changes...changes happened, tails disappeared, organic functions have been modified to adapt to the new world, which brings me to my point...what about that belly button!

Our logic is mutating to adapt to our way of life, our leisure and our work. Typing, analyzing data, following pixels in an ocean of high resolution, cutting, pasting, resizing, cropping...I leave work and just see lines and dots everywhere. My logic is "screwed", I look ahead and estimate the distance to the next table, I see numbers, passing right there in my cappuccino foam.even while making love it's different...Insert, page down, page up, repeat last command, repeat last command, eject, it's safe to remove hardware ... sometimes after eject it's cancel, cannel , Escape :P but that's not our topic today.

Our mind is not the same, so why doesn't our body follow. I would really like to see that belly button replaced with an "UNDO" button ! wouldn't that be great! :D
You screwed up, for example...you were watching a game your girlfriend rushes in and whimpers about feeling ugly and fat, and since your brain can't process two things at once during a game, you unconsciously told her that she's a bit on the chubby side lately...oh boy!!!! well why so sad?? u have that undo button don't ya ? see ?!?!
Or how about a "SAVE AS" button ...you miss, don’t know which guy to date?? push that button save a copy of the gym-guy, and check that math teacher out...the possibilities are infinite !! infinite i tell you ! >:)

the only hanging issue is that of the "alt+ctrl+del" combination...when i figure that out , i'll get back to you ;)

160 to 0 in 2 seconds

I wasn't planning on posting now, but i was just thinking about an issue that pissed me off a couple of days ago.I asked myself and still didn't get an answer back about the " chute libre " of the human Intelligence meter when in presence of a certain individual that he/she considers of a higher status ... it's amazing to just sit there and witness the IQ of a bunch of educated people (that few minutes ago were discussing global warming and the financial crisis effect) go from 160 to 0 in 2 seconds.

Bare with me...with us ...We're in a living room exchanging ideas and that guy of "important status" joins the circle, and for 2 seconds silence crawls all around, even the T.V goes to mute (no not by itself...it's not a horror/thriller ) then he speaks...they all answer and laugh . they laughed at each word, a very silly laugh just like kids laugh when watching W.E Coyote draw a tunnel and a train goes through it and over him. Even though there was nothing funny about what he said. I just sat there like a "tennis" spectator , watching him pronounce a very plain combination of words, sometimes meaningless, sometimes sad, and gazed back at the laughing effect, red faces, hands supporting their backs, gasping for air...

The MAN:
“Then i saw the man fly over my windshield and hit the ground"
The LOL band:
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....did He make it ? "
The MAN:
"NO"
The LOL band:
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...and what about the Congo crisis"
The MAN:
"What about it??”
The LOL band:
"HAHAHAHAHAHA...ahhhhh ya allah mesh ma32oul HAHA"
The MAN:

"Euhhhhhhh"
The LOL band:

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA"
ME:
"WTF?? Where is that freaking remote ?? "
