Just heard the most embarrasing but quite funny phrase “Mom, I want to know from which *position* I came from“. I’ve got to say that hearing that while I’m with my parents wasn’t the most healthy thing to even think… and the worst is that I couldn’t properly laugh **rolls eyes**.

There will be another new kind of entries into this blog called “a shout” which are going to be twitter-like that will briefly describe my day or my mood, depending on what I have in mind.

So after this, let the “shouting” begin…

“All men are born equal… so don’t complain when a woman says that all men are the same.”
-Me-

Applying what most world constitutions state about men, to empirical and femenine conclusions about men’s behavior.

Note: What I’ve witness from men, at the end, they all behave the very same way.

We carry on
by Portishead

The taste of life, I can’t describe. It’s chocking on… my mind.
Reaching out, I can’t believe. Faith, it can’t… decide.

On and on, I carry on. But underneath… my mind.
And on and on, I tell myself. It’s this I can’t… disguise.

Oh, can’t you see? Holding on to my… heart.
I bleed… the taste of life

The pace, the time, I can’t survive. It’s grinding down… the view.
Breaking out, which way to choose. A choice I can’t… renew.

Holding on, I carry on. But underneath… my mind.
And on and on, I tell myself. It’s this I can’t… disguise.

Oh, can’t you see? Holding on to my… heart.
I bleed, no place… is safe.
Can’t you see the taste… of life?

“Why isn’t it pure and constant? Why all these ups and downs? Conviction and doubt? How can something that feels so right one moment, can make me feel so queazy the next?”
-Frank Allen-

From The Chaos Theory movie from 2007, a phrase told by Ryan Reynolds’ character referring to love.

Note: I like this quote because I guess that if it wasn’t for all those depths and heights, we neither would appreciate life nor love. The easy way is never the right one and will never lead to real happiness.

Mood: desperate!

“It’s not denial… I’m just very selective about the reality I accept”
-Calvin-

From Calvin & Hobbes comic.

Note: When I was around 9 years old, I came up with the comic strip of Calvin & Hobbes and I really liked it. I’m not a fan but once in a while, I remember something about those two characters. One of the things I remember and like is that quote which is similar to one of Adam Savage of the Mythbusters that I’ll soon post.

In a long time, I haven’t written “long” post and I thought it was about time to do so therefore here some lines are found. However I don’t have a clear idea of what to write about **pouts**. Although, I’ll try to do my best to get some straight ideas so something decent can come up. So let’s see… there are two options: either complain about how people waste with no consideration water or talk about future travel opportunities. So, what’s been the decision? Well, since I have pictures as evidence for my complains about water waste, I shall talk about the possible travels of this year.

Well, yes indeed… This year comes with a lot of opportunities for traveling to Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy and the US. If I visit any of those place would be to be part of meetings or schools. Even though the money factor is really unreliable, I would really like to go to the first two places since it would give me the chance to start academic and social interactions with the group from which I’ll be part of during my Ph.D. **it’s so exciting!!!** But… before I get all warmed up, I need to get things done over here: data, thesis and papers. It’s quite a lot but it’s worthy every single drop of sweat.

I have to say, though, that I do wish to be all settle and done with all those things. Sometimes the stress is present all the time and yet, there’s something good: I actually enjoy what I do **giggles**.

Bad things
by Jace Everett

I wanna do bad things with you.

When you came in the air went out and every shadow filled up with doubt.
I don’t know who you think you are but before the night is through…
I wanna do bad things with you.

I’m the kind to sit up in his room, heart sick an’ eyes filled up with blue.
I don’t know what you’ve done to me but I know this much is true…
I wanna do bad things with you.

I want to do bad things with you…

Black blood smoothy ¹

• 250 – 300 g of blackberries
• 1 L of red wine
• 1/2 cup (125 ml) of sweet syrup ²
• 500 g of ice ³

First of all, the blackberries are perfectly cleaned. They are poured into the blender’s vase, as well as the wine. Then, everything is smashed and mixed.

In order to avoid the little seeds from the blackberries since they can be annoying while driking the beverage, the mixture is filtered through a sieve.

Afterwards, the vase is washed to get rid of any remaining seeds and in it, the mixture is poured again but this time the sweet syrup and the ice (or mineral water) are added. One more time, the mixture is smashed and mixed and ready to be served.

Notes:

1. I came up with the name because the color the beverage has at the end of its preparation.
2. The amount of sweet syrup can vary depending on the taste.
3. The ice also depends on how cold it is wanted or the consistency of the beverage. If it is wanted as a light drink then the ice can be substituted with mineral water and for that around 500 – 600 ml are used

“You’d think that I’d get tired of constantly being right and yet… it never gets old.”
-Sebastian Stark “Shark”-

Take from “Shark“, a tv-series that I liked watching.

Note: Just being ridiculous and “modest” but if I follow my insticts, it actually happens.
