happiness, support, thankful, friends
...
In this moment I want to start saying million of Thanks to my friends, the ones who passed by here last days and leave their words, and the other ones who had no time, or couldn't come (I'm reasonable, there are thousand of posts and blogs to read). Thanks to that words, I was driven to feel better today.
By the other hand, I must tell I'm sorry, because sometimes I'm not the one I want to be. I think this is a problem in every human being, but it causes frustration, and sometimes anger. As suddendly as weather changes, my moods changes a lot too, and even when I'm fighting that since I was 12 or 13 years old, sometimes power goes away from my hands.
But today, even when a soft rain keeps on falling over the city, and it sounds in the roof of my studio at home, I feel much better that past 3 days. I'm smiling, I'm happy the best I can. I've been with friends today (more than 40 in a meal) and they supported me a lot. But yesterday and some days ago I was with my friends of MyOpera too, and found support too, in different ways (messages, comments, etc), and I feel so proud to count with you all.
In changing states of myself, I use to break down, collapse in negativeness, sadness and want not to see anybody. But a friend told me that people like me has to do the opposite: get up when we want to lay on bed; walk outdoor when we want to stay indoors (alone), look for friends when we want not to see anybody. I found that's true.
Many of you gave a great help even being so far. Doing nothing else than "listening", giving short comments, and NOT TRYING TO MINIMIZE MY PROBLEM, even when is possible it's real a minor problem. But in the middle of that situation, it seems huge.
My friends, today I'm OK, I feel well, and wanted to tell you about this thing.
MILLIONS AND TONS OF THANK YOU'S!!!

It's a nice thing to be with family and friends enjoying great times! We went to the beach, at sundown, cooking and eating on the rocks and the sand.

punta del este, journey, friends, weekend
Last weekend was with 3 free days. Yesterday was the Independence Day. So we had extra free time. On sunday we organized a climbing to Pan de Azúcar, the highest hill of Piriápolis, with 500mts. But the day started raining, and it could be too dangerous to climb the rocks. But Monday was OK and some friend invited us to go to Punta del Este. That city is 40kmt. from Piriápolis, where we live. Is an important city for tourism, and is visited from many tourist of South-America in summertime. Our city is prefered to "relax vacations", and comes people from many sites of America, too. (It's nice to make friends from around the world in summertime).
We took the long way, all along the shore. That made us contemplate nature. And we found whales! They came in this part of the year to reproduce and give birth. Amazing animals!
In Punta del Este we went to the mall, my wife's delirium
and a flash-visit to Conrad Hotel to visit some areas. No time for Casino, no enough money in our pockets
Finally, we returned home and I cooked some fried cakes, to eat with fruit tea.
We forgot the rain of sunday, and enjoyed a lot this monday.

road, vida, friends, life
...
Camino.
Cuando me senté en este montón de piedras, quise mirar atrás. Todavía no estoy seguro cual es la sensación que todavía guardo dentro de mí. Tal vez asombro, pues el camino se ha hecho extenso. Los paisajes han cambiado tantas veces. Hasta las estrellas parece que cambian sus dibujos en el cielo cada noche.
Tal vez fue melancolía, nostalgia. Tantos cientos de aventuras dejadas atrás. Tanta gente que he abrazado. Tantos ojos que me han cautivado. Tantas sonrisas y lágrimas. Tantos encuentros y desencuentros que no podría numerar. Todo eso queda atrás; a pesar que guardo mucho en mis bolsillos.
Aunque, admito, también sentí curiosidad. Incluso un poco de ansiedad. ¿Qué habrá más allá de esas colinas? ¿Qué paisajes me esperan? ¿Cuánta gente conoceré?
Por eso, decidí tomar mis cosas, tomar aliento, y me atreví a continuar el viaje. Tendré que esperar cada día para ver qué sorpresas me dará. Pero será una aventura increíble, será la aventura de mi vida, como la de todo ese ayer que es parte de mí.
Y no me la quiero perder.
Culterpaulus (1/7/08)
Mirar todo el camino que he recorrido, me llena de distintas emociones. Muchas veces he sentido demasiada nostalgia, siento que he perdido cosas importantes en mi vida. Pero otras veces veo que he ganado mucho. En la vida se gana mucho con el tiempo. Y saber atesorarlo, valorarlo, nos puede dar el empuje que a veces nos falta para seguir adelante.
Incluso las cosas que han quedado atrás son ganancias, porque van dentro mío, y son parte de mí.
Algo que he estado pensando, es en la cantidad de personas que he ido conociendo en el camino. En cada ciudad que he estado he ganado amigos. Y actualmente agradezco tener amigos en casi todos los continentes. ¡Qué privilegio!
A veces me pregunto, cuantas personas dignas de ser conocidas habrá en el mundo. Porque aunque el mundo se enloquece, y mucha gente nos puede lastimar incluso sin conocernos, tiene que haber mucha que valga la pena conocer, y disfrutarlas como amigos.
Así que estas notas tienen la intención de brindar mi abrazo a todos los amigos no importa donde estén.
¡Que la vida nos una más aún!

Road.
When I sat down in this heap of stones, I wanted to look behind. I am not still sure which is the sensation that I still keep inside of me. Perhaps astonishment, because the road has become extensive. The landscapes have changed so many times. Even the stars, they seem that they change their drawings in the sky every night.
Perhaps it was melancholy, nostalgia. So many hundred of adventures left behind. So much people that I have hugged. So many eyes that have captured me. So many smiles and tears. So many encounters that it could not number. All that is behind; even when I keep a lot in my pockets.
Although, I admit, I also felt curiosity. Even some anxiety. What will be there beyond those hills? What landscapes are wait for me? How much people will I know?
For that reason, I decided to take my things, to take encouragement, and I dared to continue the trip. I will have to wait every day to see what surprises it will give to me. But it will be an incredible adventure, it will be the adventure of my life, as all that whole yesterday that is part of me.
And I don't want to lose it.
Culterpaulus (1/7/08)
To look at the whole road that I have traveled, it fulls me with different emotions. Many times I have felt too much nostalgia, I feel that I have lost important things in my life. But other times I see that I have won a lot. In the life we won a lot with the time. And to know how to treasure it, to value it, it can give us the push that we sometimes lack to continue ahead.
Things that have been left behind are even earnings, because they go inside of mine, and they are part of me.
Something that I have been thinking about, is in the quantity of people that I have been knowing in the road. In every city that I have been I have won friends. And at the moment I thank to have friends in almost all the continents. What a great privilege!
Sometimes I wonder, how many people worthy of being known will have in the world. Because although the world goes mad, and a lot of people can even injure us without knowing us, has to be much that is worthwhile to know, and to enjoy them as friends.
So these notes have the intention of offering my hug to all the friends it doesn't care where they are.

recuerdos, playa, friends, beach
...
I wrote the following words earlier. But It's not late...
Algunas sorpresas son muy gratas cada día.
En la tarde de ayer, hicimos arreglos con algunos amigos para encontrarnos en la playa. A no ser por una brisa un poco fresca, el día estaba ideal para la playa, pero buscamos un lugar resguardado, nuestro lugar favorito de encuentro, y lo pasamos genial. Nos llevamos el mate, como de costumbre, algunas galletitas y a disfrutar del sol y la tranquilidad.
Casi antes de regresar, nos encontramos con una compañera de liceo que tuve, ya hace algunos años atrás. Ella vive actualmente en Ibiza y hacía un buen tiempo que no nos veíamos. Me comentó que va a pasar el verano por acá, por lo menos hasta abril. Pero lo más interesante, es que está organizando un encuentro entre todos los compañeros de liceo de nuestra generación, muchos de los cuales también viven o vivieron en el exterior y da la casualidad que se encuentran en la ciudad. Así que va a ser una oportunidad de encontrarnos y recordar lindas épocas pasadas.
Este mes ha sido un mes de recuerdos para mí, porque he asistido a la fiesta de fin de año del liceo (al mismo que asistí yo cuando era estudiante), y a la fiesta del instituto donde trabajo actualmente, y en ambos se sigue la misma tradición en la forma como se realiza la fiesta, por lo que me hizo trasladarme a aquellas épocas. Tantas cosas vividas, tantos recuerdos y amigos en el camino.
Y creo que lo voy a redondear por acá, porque se me están juntando las emociones y el día se presta para otras cosas. Está bastante soleado acá y creo que en un rato me voy afuera a disfrutar de los mates mañaneros.

Some surprises are very pleasing every day.
Yesterday's afternoon, we made arrangements with some friends to go to the beach. Unless for a fresh breeze, the day was ideal for the beach, but we look for a preserved place, our favorite place of encounter, and we had a wonderful afternoon. We took "mate", as always, some cookies and to enjoy the sun and the peace.
Almost before returning, we meet with a secondary school partner that I had some years ago. She lives in Ibiza and we had not seen each other for a long time. She commented me she will be here all along the summertime, at least until April. But the most interesting thing, is that she is organizing an encounter with all the partners of secondary school of our generation, many of which also live or lived in the exterior and are in the city right now. So it will be an opportunity to remember pretty old times.
This month has been a month of memories for me, because I have been in the party of end of year of the secondary school (to the same one that I went when I was a student), and to the party of the institute where I work at the moment, and in both the same tradition is continued in the form like the party is carried out. All this made me transport to those times. So many lived things, so many memories and friends in the road!
And I think I have finish here, because all the emotions are coming together to me and the day is ready for other things. It is quite sunny here and I believe that in a while I'll go outdoor to enjoy the "mates" of the morning.
