Goofy Goober (<---yes I am a link, click on me)

"So I have this skrit... purple and gray horizontal stripes. I love it. I used to love it, anyways. It ties in the front, in the height of the belly. Very cute. It has two thin gray strings that tie in the front and keep some portion of the skirt hanging over them so that they dont show. The skirt is elastic and can stretch a lot but is really tight.

So I wear it one day to go to my friend's house. On my way I think of stopping at the grocery store to get some yogurt for me and fmy riend. Oh yeah we love yogurt. Instead of devouring ice-cream we made this deal to buy yogurt instead. And it works.

So back in my story. I am walking towards the grocery store. I walk up the zillions of stairs of the complex where the grocery store is. I push the door to open. I hold it with my left hand to facilitate the people behind me. I keep walking straight till I reach the entrance of the grocery store. I smile at the security guard who kept on starring at me since I was in the hallway holding the door. "It must be my cute skirt" I think to myself, "cause it makes my long tanned legs look really sexy. And hello, Ive always had guys starring at me wherever I go, so...get over it girl".

Not to sound cocky or anything, but its sort of true. I am taller than the average, have long hair, long legs, cute face, cute smile, strong upper body. No I dont look like a model cause if I did, I wouldnt have time to blog right now. I am an above average looking girl, "a big cute person" its how my afro-american guyfriend calls me.

So yeah, a security guard is starring like a dog, no big dealeeo. I keep on walking down the aisle, I pass the candy section, the can and oil section, ("why is this old guy with his wife and kid on the side looking at me"), now its the dry food section, the clothing section (where I should have stopped) and now I am on my way to the fresh food section. "What is wrong with these people, this girl was starring as if she never saw a tall person before".

Yeah, I get that wherever I am: in the metro, bookstore, at the doctors office, in the grocery store. On the left I see meat and fishhhh... on the right ...milk and butter... and an old creepy beer-belly guy whose eyes are stuck on my private lower area. And oh! finally! here is the dairy section. I make four big steps and I am right infront of the fridge with all the yogurts. Heaven!

I am taking my time. I want to choose the best-tasting, yet low-calory and low-price ones. This should be fun. I start by taking a quick look at the tabs with the price. $6,99 for 12x100gr, $4,75 for 1x750gr, $3,59 for 2x250gr...... I hold each one of the products in my hands to check for the fat, calories, sodium, vitamins... The old creeper with the beer stomach is still standing right next to me and it seems that he hasnt taken his eyes off my lower private area.

"What the heck. Hes in a damn grocery store what is wrong with all these pervs nowadays" I think to my self while giving him the dirtiest look Ive ever given to a person. I keep on starring back while having my left eyebrow up and my right hand holding my waist. "Oh yeeeeah you pig, you feel embarrassed now??" I am thinking. The guy turns around obviously annoyed. I turn around too. I need to go back to my little yogurt research but "aaghhh I just cant believe how some people can be! He is freaking 80 years old, he probably has a wife, kids, grandkids, a dog and a cat and its possible he has great-grandkids as well"

"And he has the balls (he probably cant feel them anymore) to stare at a female who probably has the same age as his grandchildren. Wow!". So I am trying to find the yogurt I was holding before the pervert annoyed me. Where did I leave it? Ah here it is! I reach down to get it but my eyes catch something else, much more interesting: my crotch which is hanging out of my skirt! No wonder why I thought I was getting thaaat many people starring at me today. (read the following with sarcasm:) How sexy and attractive they must have thought I was eh..! All people who saw me wandering down the... candy, can and oil, dry food and clothing section. Oh my goooodness where do I go to hide, I dont want these yogurts anymore, I want my dignity back!!!

ps. I want to thank that old creepy beer-belly grandpa who tried to give a hint of what was going on down there. Thanks again, old creepy guy.

Introduction: The story of a She and a He

-Hey! Whats up! Long time no see!

-I know eh!?? How are you...? Where have you been??

-Aghh you know..here and there... How are things going on your side?

-Nah..the usual, school, boyfriend, blah blah. But heyy...what about you?? We used to talk remember? Where have you been?

-Aghh... i was a student in Grayrain Province remember? But you know... money was an issue.. I was so stressed... Not able to eat properly, like couldn't afford to even go for normal weekly groceries... Stressed about appearance.. Stressed that I had nothing to wear sometimessss! and ha...you know how that is when you are young and pretty and you used to receive a certain type of comments about your style etc..

So...had some type of social stress as well... Aghh not able to socialize with friends properly... "Cant come have dinner tonight with you guys, I am busy I have to study!!" Bullllllshit...Ending up spending hours on the internet to find a way to earn money instead of studying... Losing any interest for school cause your life (social, personal) isnt the same anymore...

Aghhh money.. And then you tell yourself... Mm i am gonna use my credit card to go out with my friends, so that I don't have to bail out AGAIN, just once, only once. And then...once becomes twice..and then twice becomes everyday and you end up using money that was never yours through that plastic "miracle" called credit card.

And a month a later you receive the "letter". Ooooh yeah.. THE letter. Ouffff you dont even wanna open it. You place it on your desk, telling yourself you will open it when youre less stressed. But..you dont even HAVE to open it. Cause you know whats in it. But you keep on fooling yourself that it doesn't exist. Then when the time comes... All your debit account has been emptied. And not because you've spent it. But because that plastic miracle sucked it all up, without giving you a notice off course. And why would it? You borrowed "its" money, when you knew you weren't able to pay it back, not anytime soon anyways.

And then you have no money no chocho like my Haitian friend used to say... Cause whenever you deposit $ in your debit account, the plastic miracle is authorized to eat it up. But...you dont know that.

And there comes the time to pay your rent... But.."zero" has now become your new best friend. You see it everywhere, in your bank accounts, in your pockets, in your purse, even in your dreams. Mmm yeah, now you are able to focus and study. You are soo deeply motivated to focus and do well at school. So you borrow from your friends. And you do the mistake to borrow a looot. Cause they offered a lot. Cause they are your friends. And they trust you.

And the time passes... You decide that you have to leave the Grayrain province cause university cant accept you with no money and ...low grades. It doesnt care if the no money situation you were in caused you to not study and put you in an even more no money situation plus debt. You take your pride and start for the Promising Province.

You struggle. You stay at a hostel at first. You try to find a job and an apartment at the same time. No income flowing, but lots of expenses coming out of your pocket...Uhmmm let me rephrase that: your mommas pocket. You find an apartment.. Oufff what a relief. You get all happy and excited and kind of tell yourself you need a break from stress... Bills and expenses yeah are still running... Still chasing your ass.

So you decide to try and find a job. Lots and lots of applications. Ohhhhh yeah babaaay keep them flowwwwing. TOns of them. Millions. Zillions, Gazillions. But hey....you get a few offers, but you quickly realize the only job offers you got were either scams or you just didnt qualify at the end. What a luck. Mmmm not luck so much, I would say. So..... what do you do? Wait and wait, even decide to go to a local library to borrow resume books to update your resume. You do that. Spend nights working on your new CV. You re-apply. No-thi-ng.

Anddd then....there goes the bus strike! Ohhh yeah, cause bus drivers of the promising city of the promising province decide they dont get paid enough..sooo lets do a bus strike. No buses. No way you can go to any interviews! Great. A week goes by and the whole promising city is in the merci of the bus strike. A second week goes by. And a third one. A whole month. And another week. And another.

Till you get so fed up of waiting that you decide to contact your friends from the Diverse Province to help you move your bootay out of 'Promising' province. And it happens. And you spend two weekends back and forth promising and diverse provinces trying to find a new apartment, a new life. And you do. And everything seems all shiny and glittery at the beginning. You are happy, excited for another new beginning you've made, your way up to your goal mountain seems a little bit easier now.

And there it begins. It feels safer, warmer. But you've lost everything. All the comfort of your well-known zone, your friends, the people you used to see everyday. You're all alone. Mmmm not exactly, you have one person by your side. But that person is always there for you. For the good and bad. So strange.... An you met like a raindrop meets the ground after a morning shower and then disappears. With the exception that you didn't disappear, you stayed there, kept that 'wetness' right there in the soil.

And who would know...that you would now see that person every day. Which is the beginning of my story my dear friend...

-Wow...seems like a lot happened since the last time I saw you....Its sad to not be around you anymore you know... We used to have such a good time together! We were fooling around so much, talked about anything and nothing.... I really miss you. I miss your friendship.

-Aghhh I miss you too...! Hey lets just stop all this drama cause I am really getting my eyes all teared up and with this cheap mothertrucking mascara I bought, I cant afford to cry.

-Wow, you haven't changed a single bit. All making me laugh with your fake New Orleans accent... Oh well.. anyways, oopss its 30' past 1! I gotta go, my lunch break is already over!!

-Alright then, Oh my it was sooo good to see you! Promise we will "bump on to each other" again on the same spot, tomorrow??

-Haha sounds like a random encounter to me! Chiao!!

Love. Do we really know what it means?

"Call me when you get there! Love you!" ...


How many of us, haven't finished a phonecall saying 'I love you' to the person at the end of the other line...? But is it really that simple... Is it actually that simple to love someone, and/or to be loved by someone? Is it that simple to maintain love? To keep it up above anything else? Meaning: selfishness, ego, personal benefit, jealousy, anger, self-interest, lying? For me, love doesnt exist if is kept in a lower level than all the above. Is this easy...is it even possible? ...or am I just "on crack" and thinking non sense?

I am back........

I havent blogged in a while.... In a very loooong time I would say :P I am back now..... and yeah, that was a threat hahahah Thanks for all of you who mailed me about my previous articles and asked about me. Thank you so much! My blog really lacks in what my thoughts/beliefs are all about.... Those previous posts were just bits and pieces of what interest/question me at that time...but there's more to come, more about my interests and ideas on vicissitudes of life...

More to come, soon :)

Conversation about Long Distance




"But I like him.......and he seems that likes me too". So? There's no future with him.... You're going away for the summer, he's staying here.... He'll eventually forget you and all about you guys....

"No....but...he's not like that. No, no I don't think he's like that. He says he can wait. He says its the first time a woman means so much to him". Maybe I don't know men that much, but I know a lot when it comes to people in general...so to me its more likely that he's just excited now. He is IN love, but its not possible for him to LOVE you, that fast.... or is it?

You met in his city.... you both created a good connection... But you had to leave... you kept in touch by the internet.... He came to see you... yeah, I know 15 hours drive... then Christmas, yeah he kept in touch, you did too.... Then you went to see him.... Now you are away from each other again... Isn't it a little bit too early to think that he really means it when he says he loves you?

No, no don't take me wrong, I don't mean to sound mean...I am not saying he's lying... I am saying that distance sweetens everything, distance makes everything look perfect...distance creates in our head this perfect person....which is made only of the good times you had together... You're not able to have bad times together though...Because each time you see each other, is so little, you don't have time to fight, you only have time to taste each others love, affection and existence next you... So this perfect person is been stuck in your head...

And then when the daily routine with this person comes.... Things will be different... more 'boring'... But that would be great, if you actually make it to spend your daily routine together. Now we're talking about a few steps behind this stage...

You still don't know what's gonna happen during the summer. If this is going to last... And then there are also all those girls looking for 'meat' during the summer... And he's great with women... He knows what to say... He knows how they think... Is it worth it, to go through this...? "But he said he doesn't care about the craziness of the summer.... He comes from a place where its summer all year long, its not a big deal for him.... He says he's willing to wait.... He says that good things are always hard to happen, and hard to maintain.... He says we're not gonna have distance as a problem for our whole lives...He says he's willing to wait...He scares me..."

Yeah, it looks more like "over-excitement" in my eyes. And based on what he has told you, this is the first time he feels that way... He's obviously way too positive about it, and thinks he'll feel this way forever, and makes promises to you...

You know the danger when people are too sure about their feelings and tell the other person about those feelings... The other person believes them.... and then when those feelings change, you end up being disappointed and you lose the world under your feet, because you didn't expect them to change, you believed in what they told you....and then you're devastated.... Am I being pessimistic or just realistic?

I dont know. I am just trying to help you. :( He loves you....and its obvious. :) You love him, and you keep it well hidden inside. Why? Because you're scared? Because I told you the bad side of the situation?

....And then people will judge you...For the difference of your skin....for the difference of your backgrounds. I know you don't care, I wouldn't care if I was you either.

But then here come the practical problems.... Lets say, you put aside all problems this 'falling in love' process might have, and hypothetically he does love you for sure, he is faithful for fact.. then what you guys have starts getting more serious. And from what he says.. he wants that 'serious' thing to happen between you and him. What about you? And lets say you do want it too. I am gonna go a little bit too far now, but i think you should also think about this one too... The kids... I am sure you want to have kids. How are they going to be raised....What language...What culture...? What beliefs? He's not very much into religion, you prefer your kids to be raised like this though? The kids? Your mom will not be able to understand him...She doesn't speak his language. You wont be able to understand his mom, you dont speak her language... And where are you gonna raise your kids? His country? Your country? Am I frustrating you?

I am sorry, I just want to help you, I just want to 'open your eyes', to help you not go blind because of love....Because I am scared that something bad can happen to you and screw up your life.... And we've talked about this, you don't want this. You don't want to continue living the same path some of your relatives took in life.... You don't want your kids to live the way you lived your life, without a male figure... You need to make good choices... And I am here to help you.

"How though....". I don't know, I am not an expert. I am just trying to make you look at all sides of the situation... The obvious ones, and the hidden ones...

I think I should stop thinking.... "I think so too.....".

?Did you know? [Today: World Records]

?Did you know? (personally...I didn't!!!)
#Today's Topic: World's fastest things
What is the world's fastest airplane?
The X-43 reached Mach 9.8 but it was an unmanned flight. The X-15 reached Mach 6.72, but it is a rocket powered aircraft.The Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, which made it's first flight on December 22, 1964, is still considered to be the world's fastest airplane reaching Mach 3.2 or 2,193.167 MPH in July 1976.The Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird holds many speed records including flying from New York to London, covering 3,461.53 miles in 1 hour 54 minutes and 56.4 seconds, averaging 1,806.95 MPH.

What was the world's fastest boat?
The first water speed record was recorded on September 19, 1919 when Casey Baldwin throttled his Hydrodome IV up to a watery 70.86 MPH. The current world's fastest boat is the Spirit of Australia which Ken Warby managed to get up to 317.60 MPH or 511.13 KM/H at Blowering Dam in New South Wales, Australia on October 08, 1978.

What is the world's fastest bird?
The world's fastest bird is also the world's fastest animal on our planet. When the Peregrine Falcon spots prey it goes into a controlled dive easily reaching speed of 200 MPH or 320 KM/H.The fastest speed the Peregrine Falcon reached ever recorded was an amazing 242.3 MPH or 390 KM/H.

What is the world's fastest car?Ever since the car was invented people wanted to go fast which soon enough resulted in the competition for the land speed record. Back on December 18, 1898 Frenchman Achères, Yvelines set the first benchmark for the land speed record taking his electric Jeantaud Duc up to a head turning 39.24 MPH.The current fastest car is the Thrust SSC which was driven by Andy Green for Richard Noble at the Black Rock Desert in Nevada.In October 1997 Andy Green took the Thrust SSC up to an ear deafening Mach 1.02, which is 763.035 MPH of 1227.94 KM/H.

What is the world's fastest computer?Apparently the world's fastest computer is your brain, but with some of the people we know we really question that claim. Omitting the brain, and being familiar with computers, we know that this page will probably be outdated by the time it loads on your computer, but as of 5:59 AM PST on Tuesday, November 14, 2006 the world's fastest computer is the Blue Gene/L.The Blue Gene/L was developed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and can perform at up to 360 teraflops with a sustained performance of 280.6 teraflops.Just to give you an idea how fast that is, the XBOX 360 performs at about 1 teraflop which is 1 trillion calculations per second.


What is the world's fastest fish?
The world's fastest fish can be found throughout all the oceans of the world. The world's fastest fish has been clocked at speeds over 68 MPH, which is quite a feat for a fish weighing up to 200 pounds.The world's fastest fish is no other than the sailfish.

What is the world's fastest helicopter?Keep in mind that the maximum speed a rotor helicopter can reach, in theory, before spinning out of control is just over 250 miles per hour.Now that you know that, at an European air show on August 6, 1986 a Westland Lynx ZB500, that was slightly modified, reached a speed of 249.1 miles per hour or 400.8 km/h, making it the world's fastest helicopter.

Who is the world's fastest man?
The 100 meter dash is the race that determines the world's fastest man as it did in May 2006 when American Justin Gatlin posted 9.76 seconds, breaking the current record by 0.01 seconds and giving him the title of the world's fastest man. Unfortunately for Justin Gatlin his reign as the world's fastest man was short lived as there was a scoring error and his time should have been rounded up to the nearest 1/1000 of a second instead of down as it was thus his time was adjusted to 9.77 seconds.Justin Gatlin now shares the title of world's fastest man with Jamaican Asafa Powell who has also run a 9.77 second 100 meters.

What is the world's fastest motorcycle?If you enjoy seeing motorcycles go really fast make sure you don't miss the annual BUB Motorcycle Speed Trials at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. During the 2006 BUB Motorcycle Speed Trials Denis Manning and the BUB Racing team set the new absolute motorcycle land speed record when rider Chris Carr piloted the BUB #7 Streamliner 354.832 MPH on the down run and 346.939 on the return, for an average of 350.885 MPH.The next BUB Motorcycle Speed Trials are set to be held September 2 - 6, 2007.

What is the world's fastest roller coaster?
How much would you pay to be the first rider on the world's fastest roller coaster?Jeremy Delong paid just under $1,700.00 in an eBay auction to get the first seat on the inaugural run of Kingda Ka at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey on May 20, 2005.Kingda Ka goes from 0 to 128 MPH or 204.8 KM/H in just 3.3 seconds, becoming the first roller coaster to surpass the 200 KM/H mark.Kingda Ka is also the world's tallest roller coaster reaching 456 feet before plunging back down at over 120 MPH once again.

What is the world's fastest sport?Yes we know there is car racing and boat racing and plane racing an maybe even rocket racing, and those sports are fast, but we are strictly interested in human powered sports. Jai-Alai is a game that originated in Spain and has been billed as the world's fastest sport with the ball leaving the cesta, a long, curved wicker scoop strapped to one arm, at speeds of up to 180 MPH.Unfortunately for Jai-Alai, Badminton has taken over the title, a shuttlecock has been recently clocked at 332 KM/H or 206 MPH.

What is the world's fastest train?The world's fastest train is Shanghai's maglev train. Manglev stands for magnetic levitation, a technology that has been around since 1984 but has not been used commercial due to the costs.Shanghai opened an 18.6 mile stretch in March, 2004 running from the airport to downtown which the train covers in 7 minutes 20 seconds while peaking out at 268 MPH or 431 KM/H.

Who is the world's fastest woman?
The world's fastest woman is American Florence Griffith-Joyner. Florence Griffith-Joyner set the current world's record for the 100 meters in Indianapolis, Indiana on July 16, 1988 covering the distance in a mere 10.49 seconds.
