- Time doesn't exist, yet somehow it's there and it manages to control our lives.
I think maybe what should be worshipped the way that we worship God, is time. Sometimes I remember that it's there.
Like, I look at my watch several times a day, but I don't remember that time doesn't exist. Also, if it wasn't because we've managed to kind of measure time, I'm pretty sure we'd go insane.
- For a while now, I've been fascinated by the most simple things.
Like, Chetman, baffles me in the weirdest way. And just little regular animals, totally wonder me.
Sometimes I look at Chetman and see an alien, just because he isn't a human. And I look at the variations in his anatomy and it's like I've never seen a cat before.
He's so human sometimes, or maybe just not so cat like. He follows my dad around like he was a dog, he waits for him at the door when my dad leaves, even his meowing is strange; it sounds like barking. But when he eats, uses the litter box and attacks me (although he hasn't done that in a while) he goes back to being a cat, all instinctive and animal like.
Also when I look at my plants, I get super impressed. How they're just there, soaking in the sun and absorbing the sun's vibes and turning that light into food and life. It's like they're solar panels.
It's cool to see them growing, their branches and little trunks getting thicker and popping out little leaves and flowers.
I like to visualize their roots, digging deeper into the ground in between the grains of soil, absorbing nutrients from the dirt and just soaking up in life.
Like, we humans kind of only absorb life through our mouths and in a much smaller level through our skin, but plants absorb life through all of their limbs.
- I haven't gone to the gym for a good while now. I haven't exercised at all, for maybe three weeks now.
I'm just tired of going to that same gym that I've been going to for maybe three years or more. It's such a shithole and no matter what the owner does to that fucking place, it just always looks the same.
He moves around the machines a lot, he tried fixing the roof; but the machines are always rusty, more than one of them is always broken or in the process of getting something fixed, the floor always looks dirty, the bathrooms always stink, he always looks the same, it's always the same asses that go.
It's just so BORING, like no matter WHAT he does, he's always going to be there, trying to make the place look better, he's always going to make just enough money to make rent or something, but he will always also be struggling for a little more for himself.
He's always going to be in that puddle of mediocrity.
- I look at myself in the mirror a lot. Up close and from afar.
I look at my eyes, my nose, my hair, my mouth, my jaw, my chin, my cheeks, my teeth, my eyelashes, my eyebrows.
Like, that's the only time that I think I know what I look like.
When I'm not looking at myself in the mirror, it's like I'm a floating.. thing. Maybe a little cloud, or making just a floating brain, with the eyes and the spine hanging from it and the hands and feet are kind of.. I don't know.
It's not that I feel detached, it's just that since I can't see my face when I'm not looking at the mirror, it's like it's not really there.
- I wanted to write a fuckton of other shit, but now I can't remember. What an idiot, for fuck's sake.
Mood: impossible
Music: impossible

MAN, she's awesome 
1. An MMA fight where she wins by submission
2. A fight where she wins by unanimous decision
3. A Muay Thai fight in which she won a title
It's weird to see the two women getting all massaged and pampered in between rounds
I mean, like, I know equality of the genders and whatever; but it's just weird ahahahha
4. A video of her training. Her kicks are like.. fucking hypnotizing
I don't really know how to explain it. It's weird to see these broads stand in a way that I'm so used to see men standing and it's weird to see them all swollen and bleeding like men.
Like, I'd LOVE to get so good like that and get myself into fights just to stand like that and get my face all busted up. It just looks like fun or something and for some reason, I can't help but see it as "a guy thing".
Talk about mixed feelings and wotevz.
I feel so contradictory 
But it's also cool that for a moment, specially when watching the Muay Thai fight (3rd video), to visualize the men and women just as bodies; not necessarily as men and women.
I know the videos are kind of long, but MAN those fights are amazing.
Thanks to my boyfriend for showing them to me <3

Dumb things.

- Sometimes buses or trucks go by my building. Like, here we don't have streets that are far from where people live for trucks and loud obnoxious sounding vehicles to use. And these contraptions that I'm talking about are as old as the hills, so they're so noisy it's not even funny.
I'm pretty sure there's some kind of psychological repercussion in me. Probably me getting angry for dumb things is one of them. Fucked if I know *shrugs*
The sound they make is just so loud, it drowns out EVERYTHING else
But I SWEAR that's what insanity sounds like.
- I haven't gone out dancing for a really long time and I'm dying for it. But like dancing to awesome, varied music.
For some reason, the dancing places here put shit music, for the most part, or the same type of music the whole time.
Also, I rediscovered a trance song that I really really like Silence - Dj Tiesto, which apparently has that weird video.
When I used to go out and dance with my friends, when the trance tunes came on, they'd put on those flashing lights and it was incredible like.
I really dig trance, because it reminds me of a heartbeat.
- Today I exfoliated.
And I found a Nivea exfoliant for men that my brother abandoned in our bathroom. It was cool, because it had some mint thing and that reminded me of that part in American Psycho, that Patrick is talking about the things he does while grooming, and he talks about some peel-off mask that has mint in it.
I trip that more when I use the peel-off exfoliant, because I try to remove it in one piece like he did in that part of the movie.
I never achieve it
- I've been watching a bunch of cooking shows. Specially "30 Minute Meals by Rachel Ray" and it makes me want to buy a bunch of things so I can cook them myself, but then I buy them and I forget what I wanted to do in the first place
- I was also thinking how some people think that by being taught some sort of discipline in any kind of art field, creativity is lost. Or if you're being told what to do or something.
Like, I find that really sad. That somebody is so easily influenced that they will lose their creativity just because they are being taught certain rules and history or whatever.
Like, I mean, in school I was taught art history and art movements and art techniques and mediums and shit like that; and I never forgot what I wanted to do, nor did I forget my ideas and what I like.
It's really sad that somebody would look at an opportunity for learning something more as something that hinders them. If anything, being taught techniques and discipline can only make one a better artist; just because one can't do what one wants at one moment, doesn't mean you won't ever be able to do it.
It just has to be postponed. No big deal.
Being an artist doesn't mean doing whatever I pull outta my ass and being "crazy" or misunderstood. An artist also requires rules and methods to follow.
And also the cliche old saying: "One must know the rules in order to break them".
Most things in life are like that, anyway. First you do what you're told, and then when you've done that, you've earned the right to do what you want. For the most part, anyway.
Besides, that's just me *shrugs*
- I also forgot that I wanted to post this picture:
This guy broke up with his girlfriend and he wrote about it in facebook and he posted that insanely GORGEOUS picture of when they were still together. I can't get over how beautiful it is.
Like, I'm totally tripping how he's burying his head in her neck and hair; and how he's totally enveloping her in his arms; and how she's clinging to him so hard. And somehow, because of the position in which they are, their crotches and torsos are like super close and that somehow makes them be so much closer than they would be if they were standing up.
And his eyes are closed.
Like, vision takes up so much of our attention, that we ignore the other senses for the most part. So like, if you close your eyes while you chew food or while you smell something, you'll probably appreciate the taste or the smell super much more than if your eyes were open.
So this guy has his eyes closed and he can probably feel the strands of her hair against his chin, mouth and nose and he's smelling the smell of her body and her hair. That he's probably really familiar with, because they were together for a good while and it brings him so much comfort.
He's feeling all of her upper body against his upper body, through the clothes of their fabric and the dry warmth seeps through.
YEAH, I looked at the picture for a long time.
I just can't get over how beautiful it is.
It kind of reminds me of Rodrigo and me, too.
I liked them together, it kind of sucks they broke up. He was really happy with her, too.
I wonder why they broke up.
