Pedacitos

Sat, 16 Aug 2008 14:25:41 GMT

No importa la cantidad de tiempo que pasamos con esa persona, sino la calidad del tiempo que vivimos con ella.

Cinco minutos pueden tener una importancia mayor que un día entero.

Así, algunas relaciones son hechas de risas y dolores compartidos; otras de horas de universidad; otras de salidas, cines, diversiones; y están aquellas que nacen uno no sabe por qué... las espontáneas. Tal vez de silencios comprendidos, o de simpatía mutua sin explicación.

Hay relaciones muy profundas que son creadas así, espontáneamente, a partir de un cruce de miradas y una sola sonrisa compartida.

En el "El Principito", Antoine de Saint-Exupéry dijo: “El tiempo que perdiste por tu rosa hace que tu rosa sea tan importante”.

El "tiempo perdido" en una relación es tiempo ganado, aprovechado, vivido y compartido.

Son recuerdos para cinco minutos después, para dentro de un año o para siempre.

Esa persona se torna importante para nosotros -y nosotros para ella- cuando somos capaces, en su ausencia, de reír o llorar, de sentir nostalgia, pena o alegría y en ese instante traerla bien cerquita de nosotros.

Lo importante es saber aprovechar al máximo cada minuto vivido y atesorarlo después en el una "cajita" en el corazón, para tener tiempo para pasar con esa persona, aún cuando estuviese lejos de nuestra vista, nuestro tacto...

Junté todos los días "pedacitos" en una "cajita" dentro de mi corazón. Son mi tesoro, y en los momentos tristes, "armo" con esos pedacitos a esa persona para que me acompañe...

También atesoro esa "cajita", con todos los recuerdos y todo el cariño, y la guardo para posteriormente volver a hacer uso de ella, para volver a juntar mis "pedacitos" con los tuyos.

Good Morning Baby

Sat, 09 Aug 2008 20:23:29 GMT

Si yo tuviese una banda ésta se llamaría Good Morning Baby, nuestro primer disco se llamaría The Time, Made New y la portada sería la que está posteada más abajo.

La explicación original está en LinkAlicante. Pero encontré el meme en el blog de Koki y me llamó bastante la atención.

El nombre de la banda, se obtiene del nombre del artículo al azar que nos devolverá este enlace de la Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random.

A mi me tocó Good Morning Baby.

El nombre del álbum, lo obtenemos de las últimas cuatro palabras de la última frase que nos toque al azar en http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3.

A mi me tocó esta (la primera) de Ursula K. Le Guin.

La portada la obtenemos de Flickr y será la tercera imagen de la lista que obtendremos dando click en http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/.

A mi me tocó la foto "Meng mijn brein" de Keels.

PD: como diseñador gráfico que soy no pude evitar armar la portada del cd e inclusive colocarle el sello de la disquera :)

Porque se acerca tu cumpleaños... y te extraño.

Roger Sanchez - "Another chance" (Erotic Lounge)

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 03:18:19 GMT

If you've just had a break-up and are feeling down, you're not alone. Just about everyone experiences a break-up at sometime, and many then have to deal with heartbreak — a wave of grief, anger, confusion, low self-esteem, and maybe even jealousy all at once. Millions of poems and songs have been written about having a broken heart and wars have even been fought because of heartbreak.

What Exactly Is Heartbreak?

Lots of things can cause heartbreak. Some people might have had a romantic relationship that ended before they were ready. Others might have strong feelings for someone who doesn't feel the same way. Or maybe a person feels sad or angry when a close friend ends or abandons the friendship. Although the causes may be different, the feeling of loss is the same — whether it's the loss of something real or the loss of something you only hoped for. People describe heartbreak as a feeling of heaviness, emptiness, and sadness.

How Can I Deal With How I Feel?

Most people will tell you you'll get over it or you'll meet someone else, but when it's happening to you, it can feel like no one else in the world has ever felt the same way. If you're experiencing these feelings, there are things you can do to lessen the pain. Here are some tips that might help:

* Share your feelings. Some people find that sharing their feelings with someone they trust — someone who recognizes what they're going through — helps them feel better. That could mean talking over all the things you feel, even having a good cry on the shoulder of a comforting friend or family member. Others find they heal better if they hang out and do the things they normally enjoy, like seeing a movie or going to a concert, to take their minds off the hurt. If you feel like someone can't relate to what you're going through or is dismissive of your feelings, find someone more sympathetic to talk to. (OK, we know that sharing feelings can be tough for guys, but you don't necessarily have to tell the football team or your wrestling coach what you're going through. Talk with a friend or family member, a teacher, or counselor. It might make you more comfortable if you find a female family member or friend, like an older sister or a neighbor, to talk to.)

* Remember what's good about you. This one is really important. Sometimes people with broken hearts start to blame themselves for what's happened. They may be really down on themselves, exaggerating their faults as though they did something to deserve the unhappiness they're experiencing. If you find this happening to you, nip it in the bud! Remind yourself of your good qualities, and if you can't think of them because your broken heart is clouding your view, get your friends to remind you.

* Take good care of yourself. A broken heart can be very stressful so don't let the rest of your body get broken too. Get lots of sleep, eat healthy foods, and exercise regularly to minimize stress and depression and give your self-esteem a boost.

* Don't be afraid to cry. Going through a break-up can be really tough, and getting some of those raw emotions out can be a big help. We know this is another tough one for guys, but there's no shame in crying now and then. No one has to see you do it — you don't have to start blubbering in class or at soccer practice or anything. Just a find a place where you can be alone, like crying into your pillow at night or in the shower when you're getting ready for the day.

* Do the things you normally enjoy. Whether it's seeing a movie or going to a concert, do something fun to take your mind off the negative feelings for a while.

* Keep yourself busy. Sometimes this is difficult when you're coping with sadness and grief, but it really helps. This is a great time to redecorate your room or try a new hobby. That doesn't mean you shouldn't think about what happened — working things through in our minds is all part of the healing process — it just means you should focus on other things too.

* Give yourself time. It takes time for sadness to go away. Almost everyone thinks they won't feel normal again, but the human spirit is amazing — and the heartbreak almost always heals after a while. But how long will that take? That depends on what caused your heartbreak, how you deal with loss, and how quickly you tend to bounce back from things. Getting over a break-up can take a couple of days to many weeks — and sometimes even months.

Some people feel that nothing will make them happy again and resort to alcohol or drugs. Others feel angry and want to hurt themselves or someone else. People who drink, do drugs, or cut themselves to escape from the reality of a loss may think they are numbing their pain, but the feeling is only temporary. They're not really dealing with the pain, only masking it, which makes all their feelings build up inside and prolongs the sadness.

Sometimes the sadness is so deep — or lasts so long — that a person may need some extra support. For someone who isn't starting to feel better after a few weeks or who continues to feel depressed, talking to a counselor or therapist can be very helpful.

So be patient with yourself, and let the healing begin.

Yo pienso en ti

Sun, 29 Jun 2008 04:39:44 GMT

Ella era extraña, conversaba con el viento
le tenia miedo al tiempo, se peinaba en madrugada,
para recibir al sol
se sentaba en la ventana y dibujaba en los cristales
con sus manos, una carcel
para atrapar al sol....

Y en su mirada, detenia la alborada
me decia "soy una hada volare hasta tu almohada
a pintarte el corazon"
me abrazaba y me pedia que soltara mis cometas
que en su vientre vivirian
por que sabia que yo
pienso en ti...

Yo pienso en ti...
.. en tu mirada

Yo pienso en ti...
.. en tus mañanas....

Ella era extraña
escribia unos poemas que mas bien eran teoremas
que rompian con los esquemas,
de cualquier verso de amor.
y de pronto una mañana, se trepo a su poesia
y me dejo en caligrafía,
un papel diciendo...

Yo pienso en ti...
yo, pienso en ti....
.. en tu mirada

yo pienso en ti...
... en tus mañanas...

Yo, pienso en ti...

*Leusemia

...y un "te amo"

Sat, 14 Jun 2008 01:12:46 GMT

Te llevo conmigo

me basta sacudir

un poco mi ropa

el olor de tu cuello

brota en el aire

como cuando te tuve

en brazos

anudado a tu cuello

Como aquella vez

que caí en la oscuridad

y supiste guiarme

al despertar

estabas tú junto a mi

y no me dejaste ir

¿Enamorados dónde quedaron esos días?

¿Cuál fue mi error?

¿El tuyo?

Un viaje a cuestas

una playa

y un mundo en común

Risas compartidas

Llantos provocados

Llantos consolados

Iras reprimidas

Me pregunto

si te habré enseñado algo

si habrás aprendido de mi

¿...Las gracias?

Agradecido

seguiré culpándome

cuando todo esto termine

¿Terminará?

Seré libre

o esclavizado

viviré del recuerdo

¿Para quién es la buena noticia?

¿Para mí?

¿Para tí?

¿Para él?

Te llevo conmigo

por dentro

por fuera

aquellas marcas

en mi rostro

esperan

Sin pausa

Sun, 08 Jun 2008 03:49:00 GMT

Salí a dar una vuelta

a exorcizar mis demonios

No hallé más que soledad

y abrazos prohibidos

No hallé consuelo

No hallé paz

Una vez más me encuentro

con la angustia en torno al cuello

tímido y con vergüenza

culpable caminé las calles

Del frío me burlé

y apretó con más fuerza

De la felicidad me reí

no pude encontrarla

Abrazos prohibidos

y una voz que calla

que busca

y que calla otra vez

Risas fingidas

y dedos que apuntan

que señalan

que incriminan

Y un peso tan grande

con el que he de cargar

Callar y esconderse

murmurar en la noche

a oscuras solo conmigo

Hablándole al cielo

contando estrellas

matando el tiempo

Rezando porque amanezca

en mi cama tendido

Sin dolor

Sin llanto

Sin pena

Sin pausa

Carta abierta de un perro a su dueño

Sat, 24 May 2008 16:15:28 GMT

Ahora, eres mi amo y solo te pido amor.
Has decidido hacerte responsable de mí y me siento agradecido por tu determinación.
Existirá entre ambos un secreto pacto de confianza que jamás será quebrantado de mi parte.

Deberás comprenderme por algún tiempo, acabo de separarme de mi madre y de mis hermanos. Me notarás desorientado, inquieto y algunas noches me verás llorar... Si, los extraño, compréndeme, yo te comprenderé luego por muchos años.
Seré tu mejor amigo, entenderé tus cambios de humor, tus alegrías, tus días buenos y tus días malos, estaré a tu lado acompañándote en tu soledad y en tu tristeza y te trataré siempre con el mismo amor, con la misma lealtad. Lameré la mano con que me castigas, porque mi capacidad de perdonar es infinita.

Pero por favor, no me castigues; enséñame. Desconozco los detalles que pueden irritarte y deseo complacerte en todo.
Deseo también que te sientas orgulloso de mí cuando me veas echado a tus pies, cuando camine a tu lado por la calle como tu sombra más fiel.
Quiero responder a ese ideal de perro que tanto anhelas, pero depende de ti: seré reflejo de tu modo de educarme y de tratarme. Ayúdame a no defraudarte. Si me tratas con violencia....seré agresivo. Háblame, entiendo cada una de tus palabras, aunque no te conteste con el mismo lenguaje. Aprende a leer mis ojos y comprenderás cuanto te entiendo; sé que eres una buena persona.

¿Qué piensas tú de aquellos que no aman a los animales? Estoy seguro que me cuidaras con amor. Eres mi amo.
Poco a poco nos haremos grandes amigos, nos conoceremos y nos respetaremos por igual.
Mira... cuando el primer hombre apareció en la tierra, el resto de los animales creían que era otro animal, sin embargo tenia “alma”. Medita sobre esto. El hombre manifiesta su alma a través del lenguaje, nosotros a través de nuestros actos.

No olvides nunca mi amo, que a te amo a mi manera.

Durante mas de 10 años estaré junto a ti, creceremos juntos, compartiremos tantas y tantas cosas, y el día en que me vaya a vivir a alguna estrella, mira el cielo con frecuencia porque siempre te estaré mirando.
Pero deseo decirte algo: no nunca dejes mi casita vacía, hay otro cachorro esperándote y al cual llegaras a amar tanto como a mí. No quiero dejar en mi testamento una casita vacía; ahora bien, no pensemos en ese día, hazme una caricia y juega un ratito conmigo. Tenemos muchos años por delante para hacernos felices.

Te acompaña, te cuida, te comprende y te ama...

- Tu perro

Cuidadito...!

50 Reasons You might Be A Hardcore Graphic Designer

Thu, 08 May 2008 03:28:53 GMT

Totalmente cierto; transcrito tal cual lo leí en Bittbox.

A ver si encuentran algunas (por no decir TODAS) verdades que coincidan con uds. amigos diseñadores...

25 Reasons You Might Be A Hardcore Graphic/Web Designer

(In no particular order)

1. You’ve almost rear-ended the car in front of you because you were analyzing a font on a billboard.

2. You get pissed when a free Photoshop brush you download is less than 1000px in size.

3. You’d rather study the paisley pattern on your boyfriend/girlfriend’s shirt than listen to what he/she has to say.

4. You can use keyboard shortcuts at light speed, blindfolded, but you can’t type a paragraph of text without staring at the keyboard.

5. You’ve had “Software Nightmares,” when you’ve been working way too much.

6. You consider meals interruptions.

7. You’ve learned your lesson and stopped using the word “final” in any file name when saving.

8. You clean your keyboard more often than you wash your car.

9. You’ve intentionally given up trying to explain your projects to non-designers.

10. You see CMYK and RGB like Neo sees the Matrix.

11. You’d rather organize your desktop than your sock drawer.

12. When you heard that Adobe was acquiring Macromedia, you had a Design Orgasm.

13. When you look at Album art all you see are grunge Photoshop Brushes. (Then you see the album art a couple minutes later)

14. You’ve Photoshopped out a watermark for a comp or mock-up.

15. You’ve actually $paid for a font.

16. You’ve totally slaughtered a great design concept because the client thinks he/she knows best. (everyone thinks they are a designer)

17. The amount of words you’ve written with a sharpie labeling burned discs total more than the amount of words you’ve read in novels.

18. You’ve had to explain to a client that a layered file wasn’t part of the deal.

19. You’ve kept a ragged concert ticket just so you could scan it.

20. You’ve nicknamed the OSX spinning wheel. (and not affectionately)

21. You bookmark a resource more often than you have a fun night out on the town.

22. You’ve intentionally overbid a project because you can sniff out a bad client from a mile away.

23. You can’t go to a restaurant without secretly critiquing the menu design.

24. You have an amazingly huge font collection, and an amazingly short temper.

25. If you had a penny for every mouse click, you would have been a trillionaire 3 years ago.

25 MORE Reasons You Might Be A Hardcore Graphic/Web Designer

1. You’ve had a client that thought they knew more about design than you.

2. Your clients pay you for your professional expertise and skill, yet you’ve run into one of ‘those’ clients,

       that refuses to take the advice from the very person he/she is paying for advice (you).
   3. You’ve had a client that insisted on using the font “Papyrus,” and you had to hold in your barf as you prepped it [the design] for printing.
   4. You’ve requested a vector logo from a client, and instead, they email you a 72 dpi image they grabbed from a website.
   5. You’ve used typography as a texture.
   6. You don’t have a favorite font because you love “Typography.” Not Fonts. Choosing a favorite font would be like choosing a favorite child, it’s just wrong.
   7. You collect as many free stuffs from the interwebs as you can on your hard drive, hoping that one day,

       that cool project will come along that you can actually use some cool shit on.
   8. You’d rather have a free font than a free gallon of gas.
   9. It’s hard to talk about frustrations at your job with a group of friends because they have no idea what “Vector” or “DPI” is, just to name a couple.
10. You’ve had a client ask you to “Make the logo bigger.”
11. You’ve had a client that insists on “filling up the space.”
12. You’ve learned to over-price web design projects because most clients are more picky about their websites than a high school girl picking out a prom dress.
13. You feel like you’re “On Call” half of the time because clients procrastinate so much.
14. You know keyboard shortcuts that require 4 fingers.
15. You’ve lost hours of work because an application crashed, and you had to start over from scratch because you were in the “zone” and forgot to save.

Basically, you were having so much fun being creative that saving was the last thing on your mind at the time.
16. You’ve “Live-Traced” something.
17. You spend more hours per week looking at CSS showcase sites than you do at the gym.
18. The only thing that would make you happier than the demise of IE6 is world peace.
19. You’ve done everything but give up a body part to talk a client out of a “Flash Intro.” Yeah. I said it. Flash Intro. Sad, so so sad. (goes along with #2)
20. You have enough fonts on your hard drive to last you for: 1 font per day for about a decade, give or take a year or two.
21. You know, explicitly, what a “Flourish” is.
22. You worry about negative space as much as the content area.
23. You get phone calls from friends and family members on a regular, sometimes annoyingly-frequent basis,

wanting your services for free or extremely cheap. (and the “portfolio” line makes you want to throw something across the room)
24. You’ve had a client that wants a website they can “update” on their own, but doesn’t know shit about websites.
25. You’re never more than 99% happy with your final product because you believe that EVERYTHING can be improved upon.

(especially with those tight-deadline projects)

Increible!
