My Puente /// March 14th 2010


Okay, so i know i haven't posted anything in a while. To be honest with you i haven't had any free time during the past few weeks, exams and work have kept me really busy. During Exams week i had little time for sleep, literally i slept about 15 hours in 5 days. That's like 2 days worth of sleeping in a whole week. So yesterday, i was very tired, and i got to my grandma's house and watched Pinocchio with my little cousin Abril and i was falling asleep during the movie, until my little baby cousin Leo came and hit me on the face with a bowl. But anyway yeah, I've been meaning to write, not much has happened in my life lately, but i suppose the little that has happened is somewhat important. I have this saying "every little detail is very important, and those that are littlest have the most importance, for they define how curvy a curve is".

I wanted to write a story in this blog, i really wanted to be able to post something that's worth reading, and as i was typing on my laptop i realized i put too much of my life into characters and a story in general. I really have no idea if that's good or not, i think i need the help of a professional in the matter( ahem, Kelli) in order to find it out. I also need a lot of help into knowing how to really structure a story, and how to come up with so many ideas for further on stories. I wonder how she does it, and every single time she gets me so tangled up in them that i dunno, it's just amazing. So yeah, in order to write a story for your enjoyment, i will need a lot of help. :D

For my puente i thought there was gonna be nothing to do, so i started out my day by waking up at 11 am (So happy, because i slept for 9 hours) i had breakfast (Scrambled eggs and ham, ooooh that just reminded me of green eggs and ham by Dr Seuss, ha ha, such a good old memory from childhood) and i watched some videos online. I then realized i had received an email two days ago from my boss asking me for my presentations i was supposed to translate, oh darn , i hadn't started because of exams, so i spend my whole day translating them into English.

During my day however, (one of the best things about my job is that i can do anything i want while i translate stuff) i decided to watch videos on Fuel Cells and read about their making and their functioning. They are quite amazing technologies, those fuel cells. They are easy and cheap to make and produce no pollution, for their residues is plain water. That gave me a really cool idea, maybe i can experiment with hydrogen fuel cells for a while at school and do some projects and then maybe i will be able to hit the market with them and be able to help the environment with the development of new technologies towards new alternative forms of energy while going forward with the Green Phoenix Project.

I've had a lot of anxiety lately, i have no idea why. Ever since my car accident, I've been coming up with new ideas and new attitudes and i hope it turns out to be something good. For example i've teamed up with my friend Carlos, so that we can design and build our own airplane, we'll start out next week. He studied Aeronautics in the University of Texas and is now studying his second major at Tec de Monterrey in Mechatronics. So i'll be able to help while i learn a lot of stuff, for some reason i really want to be able to leave a good impression on the world. The other day i went for a coffee with my friend Adriana to Cafe punta del cielo in school and we sat for a while while we talked and she asked me of my life, thing that not many people do. While i told her part of my story she was amazed of how far I've got all by myself, and it really got me motivated. I know i'm really ambitious, but i think that it can be a really good thing to aim really high. It's just like they say, "Aim for the moon, even if you don't get there, you'll land among the stars".

I've got caught up with several songs this past few weeks, it's just that music is really amazing. I enjoy how it makes you feel so many different ways: Happy, Sad, Loved, in need of Love, Friendly, Strong, capable of doing anything. It's true when they say that notes were the gift of God to human kind. As you may already know, i really enjoy country music. :D i've listened Tim Mcgraw and Brad Paisley a lot lately. I've got to enjoy and learn a lot of their songs. I want to learn some on the guitar, and i will once i have time, which on be until the summer.
I also mean to write a song, I've got some verses written down, and some somewhere inside my head, i just need some time to sit down, sing it over and over, change words, notes, pitches and stuff. I'm really good when it comes to writing songs, when i was a teenager i used to write down some. Last summer when i went home, i found my old notebook and i saw several of them, they brought me so many memories. Like i wrote one about the rodeo in Houston once. I really miss Houston, and the rodeo. It is being carried out right now and i so wish i was there...


I was talking to Rocio tonight, and she fell asleep on me :P meanie. oh well i'll talk to her tomorrow. I've kind of got used to talking to her a lot. I like it how she gives me company during the afternoons, even if it is through im's. It is one of the things that gets hard when you live by yourself, sometimes you feel kind of lonely. I'm glad i get to talk to my friends from time to time. I wish Spain wasn't 7 hours away. Talking to Kelli would be so much easier.

But anyway, aside that, i am so excited about the fuel cell thing!!!
Oooooh Today's Pi Day!!!!! (3.14) :D only a geek like me would get excited for that ha ha. i don't mind, i know i am a geek, a cool geek however.

I really miss taking weird awesome random Pictures.

And yeah, that's all that has come up to my mind that i was able to remember. Oh i almost forgot, i don't know if you've heard he song called "Ocean Avenue" by Yellowcard. It played on my itunes today. And just like 2 years ago, it got me all thinking, it makes me feel so weird when the verse
" I remember the look in your eyes,
When I told you that this was goodbye
You were begging me not tonight,
Not here,
Not now.
We're looking up at the same night sky
And keep pretending the sun will not rise
We'll be together for one more night,
Somewhere, somehow ..."

comes up. I dunno if it is important to mention, but just like i said before, who knows. btw if you want me to let you know about songs i think are awesome. just let me know, I'll be glad to recommend some.

Good night Y'all.
