No te deprimas, ocúpate
“No te deprimas, ocúpate”. Algo así me decía mi mamá; un dicho que no recuerdo de donde lo sacó, pero que ahora le encuentro más sentido, porque a lo largo de mucho años he dependido de buscar la solución perfecta a mis problemas en vano. Las soluciones perfectas no existen, pero entender que no existen… Continue reading No te deprimas, ocúpate
Inside From the Outside
Inside from the Outside people can only see me shacked up in the Great White Castle, Wasting Away while the Harbinger of Lost Souls eats Away at me.

Quiere devorarte todo pero lentamente, no tiene ningún tipo de apuro y no quiere dejar ningún cabo suelto. No te das cuenta… Continue reading La soledad
A través de senderos, intentando llegar a la verdad
Los temas políticos son ahora aún más abrumadores que en años no eleccionarios, pero creo que no por mucho. Por los últimos quizás 10 años he vivido en carne propia numerosos cambios tecnológicos, sociopolíticos y económicos que ni sabía que andaban ocurriendo. Cuando uno es bien joven entiendo que por lo general no tiende a… Continue reading A través de senderos, intentando llegar a la verdad
El que exige mucho pronto encontrará la decepción
¿Podemos ser perfectos? Por el momento, no y no puedo concebir que sea posible en el futuro. Pero, ¿qué sé yo? Lo que puedo decir con certeza es que las personas con los coeficientes intelectuales más altos del mundo cometen errores comunes y corrientes al igual que nosotros los seres mortales.
