Management

It's been some time since I've posted anything. This is my last week at Albatrans, Inc. and about to start an exciting new adventure at a new company. It's a good feeling when my past experience as a supervisor at UPS is going to serve me well in my new job. Let's see how all this plays out.

halfway point

I remember someone telling me that when we see the moon when it's really really big, for some reason, it's an optical illusion??? And to see the actual size of the moon, one has to turn around, bend over and look at the moon through one's legs??? I don't know what the hell that's all about, but this is was I was seeing at my biking halfway point...

It's been some time...

It's been some time since I've written anything, partly because I've been lazy and because I've had not been in the mood for writing. Many things have happened since my last post, stuff like a promotion at work, grew a moustache and the family cat passed away this week. All good and bad, but nevertheless, part of life I suppose. C'est la vie mes amies. Happy Holidays.

Re-encarnar

A que nos referimos con el volver a nacer? No lo tengo muy claro, pero en el ultimo ejemplo que tengo me lo dio mi padre con uno de los libros que esta leyendo de Erich Fromm " Escape from Freedom" creo que en español es "el miedo a la libertad" o algo parecido. Me cuenta que el ser humano al momento de nacer, se nos empieza a formar un vacio, un sentimiento de soledad que antes era ocupado por la relacion madre/hijo(a).



Ese vacio/soledad va creciendo mientras nosotros tambien vamos creciendo, a menos de que lo podamos llenar o reemplazar ese sentimiento.



Creo que en cada paseo que doy, voy llenando de poco en poco ese vacio o soledad. Nada facil la tarea que nos proponemos para dar nuestros paseos y salir con algo de ellos. Espero que algunas experiencias, ultimadamente nos de un poco mas de conocimiento, un poco mas de experiencia en la vida para ser mejores y a la vez mas completos.

Envy Green: The Mothership has landed.

So i just installed the new neon lights that my dad got for my birthday. I must say, what a headturner these things are. The whole purpose of the lights is for cars on the road to be able to see me and give me some space. On the other hand, i think it did the opposite. People were driving their cars even closer to see what that green light was on the side of the road!!! I heard some laughs, I saw some people slow down and take a look at the wheels of envy. Good times while riding at night.

Roubidoux Inferno part 1.

This past weekend was marked by an extreme heat caution that was issued to southern california residents. It was about 110 in Roubidoux, Riverside. I can say it was not fun being dressed in black slacks, black shoes, shirt and tie. I accompanied my girlfriend and her family to Riverside for the wedding of one of her cousins. Why in the extreme heat-stricken month of June??? Don't know but it was too hot. I can say from the wedding that it was one I will never forget. The priest seemed to be an extreme hardcore, ultracatholic, kinda like the ones that appeared after the Protestant Reformation of the Luther era (i guess). The message that stayed more with me was that of fear and not happines and hope, something i would usually come out of mass with. But this time, it was the vociferous use of the word: Prostitution. I can't imagine what the groom might be feeling when him and his wife to be were up there, on their knees before God, freaking out! On the other hand, the priest had some good points to make, like the fact that the majority of people that attended the ceremony were family only. So the priest went on to bash the rest of the people that would later on go to the reception only. That was amusing.

I'm old(er)

Dam it. One more year has passed in the blink of an eye. I accomplished many things since i turned 26. Good times indeed. 27 sounds exciting. Let's see how this year goes by. I'm thinking it'll go by smoothly. I hope.
