The Things in my mind/// January 20th 2010



A lot of things have gone through my mind lately. Well there are always things going through my mind. If it is not school, then it is work; if it is not work, then it is leisure; if it isn't leisure, then it is some "stupid" Theory about something either scientific or philosophical.


The last time i posted something was the day before school started; it kind of makes you realize of how absorbing can school be. My First day of school went alright, i expected it to be either much worse or much better. All of my classes feel as thought they were some sort of Scientific level or such. For some reason i feel all of them relate somehow, and with them i will be able to find out something about something. My favorite classes are Electricity and magnetism and Calculus of Multiple Variables.

I started with my new job at Microbotix, I give robotics classes to little kids and work from home translating stuff into English. For the first time in my life, i've stood in front of everyone in the classroom for longer than 20 minutes. Its is a great feeling to be called "teacher" "professor" "mister" and such. I have finally understood the great work it requires to be calm and patient when people do not listen and or play around. They are just kids though. It was really funny and cute how on my first day i walked through the gate of "The Irish Institute" and a little boy walked right up to me and asked "Who are you? Are you here to Teach robotics? Whats your name?" and so on. Children are so innocent and true. While in class some of them were really loud and stuff. I've learned how to manage them though. I think i am really liking to be able to be part of their Tuesdays and leave something of importance in their minds. I Really like kids, i think that whenever i become a father, i'll do a great job. At least i will try to be with them a lot.

While watching my stupid TV series, i was able to watch how some fathers were there for their children whenever they were kids. My dad's still alive, he's a nice guy and all. I have found out that i barely even know him. The last memory of him from my childhood dates back to when i was 6 years old. I remember playing frisbee in the street in from of my house in Chiapas. Oh those days are so long gone. If you could only know the story of what drove us away from that place. I suppose i'll post it up some other time. One thing i know for sure: once i grow older and i am able to Work(in a nicer Engineering Job) i will take my dad on a trip to get to know him better.

I miss my mom a lot. My cooking is not that great.....

Meeting new people is probably what i've enjoyed the most about this school year. I've met about 5 new persons. From today on though, my new year's resolution (besides getting in shape and stuff) will be to talk to people even if i am too shy to do so. It feels really good to walk around campus and find people who say hi to you.

Even though i know a wholesome bunch of persons, i feel lonely. I think something went wrong in my head last April when "the incident" happened. Well i think i am excused somehow, it kind of scarred me.

My favorite cousin came back from Orlando, i am so happy. She is like a sister to me. Last sunday i got to spend the day with her. We watched "The Time Traveler's wife" and talked all night. I had one of the most productive talks i've had in a long time. I was able to Let go of many things i've kept in for so long. I had a shoulder to cry on at last. That's what i need to do i suppose, to let go of the tears of Pride, Sadness, Anger, heartbreak. We men are so proud, that we keep everything inside. Or at least i do. It's so hard to try to talk to someone who you barely know about something so deeply hidden within your own self.







Kelli takes off to Spain tomorrow. I hope she has a safe flight and a safe stay in Sevilla. I think she's mad at me or something. I dunno. She sent me this message on skype that made me feel kind of like a bother.... I really don't mean to be one. I'm sorry if i ever was.


Once again, for some reason, music makes me feel all tingly and stuff. Ever heard FFVII soundtrack? Oh my. Nobuo Uematsu is a genius when it comes to make you feel stuff through music. FFVII is my favorite video game of all time. You get so tangled up in the story as though you were the main character. I remember when i was a kid, i fell in Love with Aerith. Ha ha


I Still need to get new strings for my guitar... need to learn a few new songs. Not that anyone would want to listen to them. I still do it for myself. I love to feel the strings in my fingers while the notes play. I don't think anyone but Kelareh and my brothers has have heard me sing while playing something. Oh, and Cristy; she doesn't count though.

About a week ago, my friend Carlos said something that got to me: "I always look for the way to say I'm sorry to those whom i may have hurt". It reminded me of how i need to start doing some work around.







I'm very tired, i don't remember what else i wanted to say.

Oh, The picture i posted, i took it a while ago cause i thought it was pretty. i dunno if it has anything to do with what i wrote or not. Maybe in my mind it does...

The Vampire /// January 9th 2010



Today was a quite interesting day. I went to the planning meeting at Microbotix and met a whole bunch of new people. I will be giving courses at The Irish School along with Sergio and Jimena. I met Sergio, he's a nice guy. Jimena, well she didn't go to the meeting, but i talked to her on the phone, she sounded very nice. I'll meet her on Tuesday when we go teach the first robotics class of the semester.

I'm really excited about teaching, this is the first time in my life that i will be doing so. Well, without counting the tutoring I've given at school. I really don't know what impression i can leave on kids, i can maybe try to make a difference by teaching them something different than just the course materials. :)

I will be going to the main office this week, to discuss with the general director about the translating and redesigning of the robotics course. It seems to me that i will have quite a blast in this job.

Today i met one of the pretties girls i've seen while i've been in Mexico. Her name is Rebecca, she is old though, she's around 22, 23. I didn't really ask her. She's a cute redhead that studies psychology and the Ibero-American University. I think its cool how she has some interest in robotics, even though her field is way off. But anyway. I just think she's cute. I don't really like her. For me to like someone, more than looks is needed. I would have to have known her a little bit for me to decide. That's what i've learned over the last few months. And its really good i think that way now.

We finished the meeting at 2:00 and i was given a case with robots and lots of materials for class giving. I will be the Case Guardian, as they call the person who carries it around, for i am the one who has a car. Good thing i will get a bonus for that.


I Finally finished reading Dracula by Bram Stocker. I absolutely Loved it. One of my favorites so far; even though i would say it is a draw between Dracula and Frankenstein.

And i leave you with a poem inspired by the book that i liked very much.

The vampire by Rudyard Kipling

A fool there was and he made his prayer
(Even as you or I!)
To a rag and a bone and a hank of hair,
(We called her the woman who did not care),
But the fool he called her his lady fair--
(Even as you or I!)

Oh, the years we waste and the tears we waste,
And the work of our head and hand
Belong to the woman who did not know
(And now we know that she never could know)
And did not understand!

A fool there was and his goods he spent,
(Even as you or I!)
Honour and faith and a sure intent
(And it wasn't the least what the lady meant),
But a fool must follow his natural bent
(Even as you or I!)

Oh, the toil we lost and the spoil we lost
And the excellent things we planned
Belong to the woman who didn't know why
(And now we know that she never knew why)
And did not understand!

The fool was stripped to his foolish hide,
(Even as you or I!)
Which she might have seen when she threw him aside--
(But it isn't on record the lady tried)
So some of him lived but the most of him died--
(Even as you or I!)

``And it isn't the shame and it isn't the blame
That stings like a white-hot brand--
It's coming to know that she never knew why
(Seeing, at last, she could never know why)
And never could understand!''

Lack ot Time /// January 8th 2010



Starting Monday, my life will be consumed in Books, calculators, Robots, Computers, pens and Pencils. A Mouse will make my life a little easier, luckily i have one. Machine Designing is way hard when you don't have a mouse.
Even Though i know i will have no time for leisure, i am very excited school is starting once again. College is the only place here where i feel at home; i feel like Harry during winter break, he always stayed at Hogwarts because that was his home.

What has happened during the last 2 days? well, nothing much really. Same old, same old. Wake Up, Computer, Shower, TV, Work, Computer, PSP, Sleep. That pretty much is my life here when i am not in school, my friends where all out...

I'm almost done reading Dracula, by Bram Stocker. It is indeed one of the finest pieces of literature i have read: The Mistery, The Thrill, The Imagination, The Monster. Every time i read a new book, i just fall a little more in Love with Words. On how they can make you imagine things you wouldn't even dream about. How they can make you feel things you forgot existed, or how you fall in love with a fictitious character. I Know it sounds silly, but i also do know there's many more that feel that way too about books. The Only Thing i hate about them is when i dont have time to read them.

Every Break i have, when i go Home, I bring back with me a Whole Bunch of books. Last Summer i brought with me 8 books, of which i have only read 2. and i keep doing the same each break, i bring books, and a read a few. Lack of time. Once i have a little time, i need to make it up to my own library, i will have to read each one of them, so that when i am older, or even now, i cn give some good recommendations as far as literature goes.

I've only told this to one person in my life, but one of the things i love to do is to find Quotes. I Love Quotes. That Explains why i still keep the planners they give out during High School, they are full of Quotes. Today i found one in particular that called my attention: Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes. -Oscar Wilde-

We all have experiences, for we all commit mistakes. It's one of the Principles of Human Beings.
We Are created to Gods Image and Resemblance, but we are only Humans and commit mistakes. Every experience we have, makes us stronger,wiser, Humbler.

Two Nights ago right before going to bed i did something i had not done in a long,long time: I Spoke to God. I'm not a very religious person, or very rarely do i go to Church. But that night i felt some sort of connection that allowed me to express my feelings to Him.
I suppose when we don't have anyone else to go to we always go to him, to ask him for things. What i did too though, I Thanked him, for everything he has given me. While i don't have every Treasure in the World, i'm very fortunate to have the people that surround me. I Thanked him for everything that happened in the past, for it has made me who i am right now. I Think i like who i am right now. I Thank him for my wide vision of things, on how everything is going to be better.

This Year, 2010, for some reason i can feel is going to be just Amazing. It's one of those things you aren't really sure why. You just are sure that something Amazing is gonna happen, you can foresee it, like a sixth sense or something.

As far as i can see right now, everything is going to work itself out.

Have a Good Trip Kelli




First of all i want to apologize for not being able to go to Houston this break. Like i said before i have too much going on right now that i wasn't able to go.

I wanted to have a little way to kind of make it up, even though its not much i hope you like it, i picked it for you because i know you like green and who doesn't like flowers huh? especially when they are so pretty like that. ha ha, the scarf i thought was really awesome, like all those colors are so beautiful all together and stuff you know. They contrast each other, and yet they complement each other as well.

I don't know if it was right to send it to you, like i wanted to send you something that represented the place where i live, you see, they both were hand crafted in Chiapas, remember what i told you about that state? that's where my dad is from and where i spend my life until i was 6 years old. I Haven't really gone there for like over 6 years now, since my grandparents passed away. i Should go, i have a house there and stuff and it is all so beautiful. My House is in the city but the little towns and national parks and stuff are all so nice. I think i might have some pictures somewhere in there so i can show them to you sometime when we talk.

I Know sometimes i tend to be a little annoying, or at least that's what i think, people tell me i am too pushy, but what can i do? its just the way i am.

I am really happy that we have kind of got to know each other a little bit more not so long ago, i really appreciate that you are my friend and i hope that you go on being one. I really think you are an amazing person and i admire you for all you've done. Whether you believe it or not, i think everything you write is just amazing. I Wish i had the skills to do it. I am glad you gave me the idea of keeping a journal. i am really liking it.

I could say a whole lot more, you know me, with you i get really talkative.I really don't know why, i just do.Ii suppose you bring so many ideas to my mind seeing that you are very interesting yourself. i'm not going to lie to you, you truly are the Most Amazing girl i have ever known, i'm glad you are my friend.

But anyway, the point of my letter is to wish you good luck in Spain.I Hope you have a lot of fun and get to learn a lot of things, make new friends, learn some more Spanish(not that you aren't good at it already), and just enjoy your time in Europe. You need to keep posting pictures up every once in a while.Don't forget to write back and to get online every once in a while.

And please: never forget you will always have a Really good friend right here in Mexico city, or in Houston or wherever i may be at the time.

I send you a Big Bear Hug. :P

Yours Truly

Danny Corzo

Think about Ponchos /// January 5th 2010


I Thought that today wasn't going to be interesting at all. I went to School to make my schedule i will take super hard classes:

Differential Equations
Numerical Methods For Engineering
Dinamics
Mechanics of Materials I
Electricity and Magnetism
Mathematics for Engineering III

I Sense the fact that i will have no life this semester...

Anyway, after coming back from school i noticed my car was somehow overheating..... WHAT???
Yes, it said it was overheating during winter... :S so i took it to the shop to get an oil change and refill all the liquids,get new spark plugs, etc, etc, etc. After i went to pick it up it said it was hot, but when i opened up the hood, it was normal, WTF??? I'll get it checked this weekend.

I think i might be getting a New Blackberry, i need to get a new plan and they give out new blackberries with the plan, so yeah..Wooooo HOOO!

This morning i thought about a lot of things; i've been thinking about a lot of things lately.

I thought how will i be able to put up with the new job and the old one and school and the starting of the company and all. Wow, i sure will end up losing at least 20 lbs. So i will go to the gym often, i don't wanna look so freaking skinny.

i Went and Bought the Poncho my brother asked me for and a little Green Scarf like-thingy, its pretty, they are hand made.

While i was at school this morning i felt that it was gonna be a good semester, i dunno why, i just felt it in the air. I Miss Rocio, i need someone to freaking talk to and be crazy around, who doesn't really mind. Kelli Doesn't either, but i suppose she's busy, i'll rather not bother her.

I need to practice my french.

Boy Meets World is awesome, i need to get back my life, everything's been so crazy ever since April 2009. I've been Mostly depressed until about now.

When does a girl stop being innocent and nice, to become mean and cold?

I Love my friends, although i don't really talk to them much.

I should Keep writing things down, so that i don't forget them when i want to post them here.

I went to the fine arts Carnival again, i thought of how gifts can mean something so special.

I Won't be able to go to Houston this January, i've got so many things going. I'll make it up.


It's funny to realize you fall in "love" with someone, and then about a month later you find out you don't even know her. First Sight Love... Does it Exist?

I Hate Valentine's Day. Its So Cuddly and YUCK!

I Really Wish I could Fly.

While i was at the carnival thing, i really wanted to freak people out by doing my Super Victory Funny Dance.

Shipping is Awfully Expensive -__-

I've never kissed anyone under a mistletoe.

My skin is yellowish, i'm not dark, but i'm not like Pinky white. i'm just like Yellow-white.

Man, I'm so picky with Girls. They have to be Crazy and Random just like i am, but not Big Time Cuddly and Girly, i would like to have a girl who is normal, who you can be funny around and she wont give you a Weirdo Look. So Freaking Hard to find a chick who is not judgmental.

anyway, i guess i shall go.

School Starts next week /// January 4th 2009


Today wasn't a very interesting day. Nothing interesting happened really...
i woke up at 8:30 to find out i was too tired to get up, so i went back to sleep until 11:00.

I was supposed to call several companies to find out prices of materials i need to start up manufacturing of CA Shirts, but i didn't; i stayed in bed and watched Boy meets World. That show surely brings a smile to my face every time.

So i got up and played on of my favorite songs: She said yes by Brad Paisley. I cleaned my room... Sorta. And made myself a sandwich to take for lunch to work.

While i was at work, i realized of how many things i could do in the near future such as different designs for CA Shirts, monetizing, the Website etc. Some of my co-workers said they wanted to buy some shirts once they came out.

The most important thing i could have thought though was the fact that i may have a contact who could help me get Kelli's Book Published... i remember my friend Monica saying something about a publishing company her dad's friends with the owner, so I'll ask her about it next week once schools starts out. i Hope We can get Kelli a deal: She would be so happy!

i was also thinking that i could make t shirts of her book, to help her kinda make publicity about it, i'll ask her sometime she gets online what she thinks about that, i can get my brother(who happens to be one of Texas' Best Artists) to help me out here. I'm thinking of a Peach and a silhouette with red hair or something, and a catchy phrase.

I dunno, my mind works in the strangest ways, i really do have the spirit of an entrepreneur...

My First Post /// January 3rd 2010


This is about the 3rd blog that i have written on: the other 2, i just kind of got bored for they were only an assignment for school.

My name is Danny, i'm 20 years old, i am a college student, my majors are Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering. I'm a really weird guy, like Big time weird, but like cool weird, not like freak weird.

Anyway, i started this blog because i mainly needed a place where i could post my ideas and feelings, i mean, there must be something interesting in my life that can be worth reading in the future. The idea of keeping a journal was given to me by my best friend Kelli, She's a writer, she is awesome with words and sentences, and she's really creative. I Love everything she writes, like her book "peaches" is amazing, i would say it was thrilling, i couldn't put the computer down, until i was done reading it, you should all read it when it gets published. She has like 20 journals so far, so i need a little catching up to do. :)

Today:

What did i do today?

This morning i woke up around 8:00, even before my alarm went off: i was having one of those dreams you want to keep dreaming of. I went back to sleep until 11:30, i loved it because i was able to decide what to do in my dream. one of those dreams that you just love cause you know that you're dreaming and you can control everything that happens in it. so i dreamed of a party me and my friends were organizing and about a girl i haven't seen in ages. i dreamed i rescued her from some revolutionary gang back in the 1900's.

After i got up, i took a shower and i got ready to go out. i was set to look for a Poncho my brother asked me to buy for his best friend. i went to this "mercado de artesanias" and looked for it, although everything was really expensive. i went back home and watched Boy meets world for a while. Boy meets world is my favorite TV show, its just so real, i have had every single emotion they show there. The episode called "starry night" was just amazing, how Topanga and Cory get back together, and find out that they love each other more than anything despite the problems, differences and arguments. I once had that with this girl, so i felt kinda sad-happy, i dunno, one of those feelings that gets to your heart, but you don't know what it is. so it made me want that again, although, i don't know when i'll be able to find anyone who will like me as much...

After about 2 hours, i decided to go on my quest again, so i went to the Fine arts palace, and in the park there, there was a carnival. i went through the shops and found really pretty Ponchos, and a gift for someone who i care about. (I'm not gonna post it here, otherwise she'll know). Its beautiful, tomorrow I'll go get something else just to make it a little more complete.

I came back home and started working on my scale model, while i watched this movie called "Trainspotting", it was about this heroin addict that decides life is more that just drugs. it was really good. Then i watched another movie yet, "dos abrazos". I feel like i have no life.... Just before i started this blog, i was feeling very lonely.... my phone started vibrating.. it got me all excited because i thought that someone was calling... My battery was just dying... i know i'm pathetic...

The worst part of not having my old life, is that i Miss having someone to talk to every night. Someone who would just care to listen to my silly voice about my random stuff... i guess that's why i am making this blog... so that i can tell someone about it all... even if i don't know you.....


I'm so obsessed with the song on the flute i learned how to play.... it reminds me of love....
