y para prepararme estaba corriendo 35 km a la semana
(aunque por un momento en el km 8 mi fisiología olvidó todo lo relativo al entrenamiento)
Si bien es cierto que me rebasó Hulk, El Sorprendente Hombre Araña y el Equipo Geriátrico de Sexagenarios Alopécicos S.A. (una barbaridad de viejitos, venían con un ritmo trepidante como si acabaran de filmar Cocoon) dejé muy atrás a Papa Pitufo, al Payaso Gay del Espacio y a la Señora Gorda del French Poodle. Ja! Take that!
I hit the ground. But I hit the ground running.
Feliz año nuevo. Que este 2012 sea diferente y lleno de cosas buenas.
This is an insight into my life This is a strange flight I'm taking My true will carries me along
This is a soul dance embracing me This is the first chance to put things right Moving on guided by the light
And the spirit of love is rising within me Talking to you now Telling you clearly the fire still burns
Wisdom of ages rush over me Heighten my senses Enlighten me Lead me on eternally
And the spirit of love is rising within me Talking to you now Telling you clearly the fire still burns
And the spirit of love is rising within me Talking to you now Telling you clearly the fire still burns
I'm talking to you now The fire still burns Whatever you do now The world still turns
You gotta give love You gotta give love You gotta give love Give love...

Nótese que "insight" no es "intuición" sino más bien "perspicacia" o "comprensión". Sí, algunos subtítulos están incorrectos... pero tuve que morir con este video porque los demás son en vivo y yo quería a toda costa el audio original. Bear with me...
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure
"Ima show you, how great I am!
Last night I cut the light off in my bedroom, hit the switch, and was in the bed before the room was dark.
Ima show you, how great I am!
Only last week, I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalized a brick, I'm so mean I make medicine sick.
Ima show you, how great I am!"
This kids gonna be the best kid in the world.
This kids gonna be somebody better than anybody I ever knew.
"Ima show you, how great I am!
I have wrestled with an alligator, I done tussled with a whale, I done handcuffed lightnin, thrown thunder in jail.
Ima show you, how great I am!
All you chumps are gonna bow when I whoop him, all of you. I know you got him, I know youve got him picked, but the man is in trouble, Ima show you how great I am!"
But somewhere along the line, you changed. You stopped being you.
You let people stick a finger in your face and tell you "you're no good", and when things got hard, you started looking for something to blame, like a big shadow.
Let me tell you something you already know: the world aint all sunshine and rainbows, it's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it.
You, me or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life; but it aint about how hard you hit, its about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much you can take and keep moving forward.
That's how winning is done.
Cause if youre willin to go through all the battling you gotta go through to get to where you wanna get, who's got the right to stop you?
I mean maybe some of you guys got something you never finished, something you really want to do, something you never said to somebody, something.
And you're told "no" even after you pay your dues, who's got the right to tell you that? Who? Nobody.
It's your right to listen to your gut, it aint nobodys right to say no, after you earn the right to be where you want to be and do what you want to do.
Now if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth, but you've gotta be willing to take the hits and not pointing fingers saying you aint where you wanna be because of him or her or anybody.
Cowards do that and that aint you!
Youre better than that!
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same as we are liberated from our own fear.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
"All you chumps are gonna bow when I whoop him, all of you. I know you got him, I know you've got him picked, but the man is in trouble,
El año pasado fue el 17, ahora fue el 22. Gracias a mis registros (yo apunto absolutamente todo. De veras, no tienen idea) puedo comprobarles estadísticamente que conducir en Diciembre es bastante más peligroso que cualquier otro mes del año.
También puedo comprobar que Diciembre me resulta curiosamente más catastrófico que los demás meses. More on that later.
Pero lo más interesante es que el percance fue en la misma avenida, mismo semáforo, misma hora. Fue tan deja vu que hasta fue con un pickup del mismo color (rojo). La única variante fue el borracho, pero de ahí, todo igual.
(Hasta mis descalabros son fuera de lo común. Tengo razón en apuntar todo)
Sin embargo, mis reflejos agudísimos de gato, mi pericia al volante, mi sentido de la prevención y una manita de las Potencias Divinas Amparadoras de la Infancia (Sociedad Anónima) me conservaron en una pieza y el carro no volvió en grúa (a diferencia de la otra vez)
Pero en serio, tengan cuidado. En estas fechas la humanidad se pone más idiota de lo usual pero ustedes celebren seguramente (pero en el sentido de safely) (no del otro) (qué curioso) (por qué estaré abusando tanto de los paréntesis?)

"Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick the one that makes me scream" she said "The one that makes me laugh" she said and threw her arms around my neck
"Show me how you do it and I promise you I promise that I'll run away with you I'll run away with you"
Spinning on that dizzy edge I kissed her face, I kissed her neck and dreamed of all the different ways I had to make her glow
"Why are you so far away?" she said "Oh, won't you ever know that I'm in love with you that I'm in love with you"
You Soft and only You Lost and lonely You Strange as angels Dancing in the deepest oceans Twisting in the water You're just like a dream
Just like a dream...
Daylight licked me into shape I must have been asleep for days and moving lips to breathe her name I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone, alone Alone above a raging sea that stole the only girl I loved and drowned her deep inside of me
You Soft and only You Lost and lonely You Just like heaven
pero estoy en ese lugar donde no soy buena compañia
una fluctuación de humor y podría arruinarte el día
o la vida
Ya me corrieron de algunos parqueos, librerías y restaurantes pero fue mejor así (they were all assholes anyway) porque lo que yo haga con el veneno y los cristales helados que están circulando por mis venas
Aun sigues buscando a quien te pueda hacer sentir lo que sentiste conmigo?
Buscas que te cambien la noche por el dia con una llamada?
Que hagan que el corazon te de vuelta con un beso mientras te abrazan fuerte para sentir tu cuerpo?
Buscas a quien te pueda amar de una forma tan intensa, que sin tocarse sientan que fisicamente se entregaron al punto de sentir el alma en paz y el corazon tan lleno de amor que no te cabe en el pecho?
Acaso me conoces más de lo que yo mismo me conozco?
A veces ocurre...
A veces pasa también que conocés a las personas más de lo que piensan pero clasificar y predecir su comportamiento no les hace mucha gracia.
(ese día estaba que echaba chispas y me mandó al carajo... me recuerdo y me hace sonreír, no puedo enojarme, no era conmigo que estaba batallando, sino con ella misma. Pero mejor me callo...)
Pero sí, tienes razón. Los actos dicen más que las palabras
No quiero llegar al punto de no retorno sin sentir eso. No sería justo para la otra persona ni para mi, ni para los que vendrían, ni para los que están alrededor.
Vengo de una familia disfuncional, repetir mi historia? No fucking way.
Me estoy deshaciendo en sinceridad. Es contraproducente, lo sé. Pero guardar las apariencias lo es más aún... todo siempre termina estallando... y de qué manera...
El instinto me avisó cuando lo admití y puse "me hace mucha falta, eso es todo". No pasó nada, pero por primera vez en muchos días, sentí que pude respirar.
*Megan enters the house with a bunch of puppy dogs*
Megan: Let's go, let's go. And we're walking. Okay, we're walking. Heel. Heel! No pee. No! Not on the carpet! Okay, we're coming... We're coming in...
*She takes all the puppies to the back porch*
Megan: Everybody is in and having fun. We're having fun. And heel! We're heeling. Heel!
Annie: How many of those did you take?
Megan: I took nine. I took nine. Yeah, I did slightly over-commit to the whole dog thing. It turns out, I'm probably more comfortable with six. It's a lot... That's a lot of energy to deal with... but you wouldn't know anything about that, because you haven't been returning my calls.
Annie: And say what, Megan? Say, "Hi, I can't get off the couch, I got fired from my job. I got kicked out of my apartment, I can't pay any of my bills, my car is a piece of shit, I don't have any friends, the last time I..."
Megan: You know what I find interesting about that, Annie? It's interesting to me that you have absolutely no friends. You know why it's interesting? Here's a friend standing directly in front of you, trying to talk to you. And you choose to talk about the fact that you don't have any friends.
Annie: You know what I mean.
Megan: No, I don't think you want any help. I think you want to have a little pity party.
*Megan hits Annie*
Annie: Ow! That's not true.
Megan: I think Annie wants a little pity party.
*Megan pushes Annie forcefully*
Megan: You're an asshole, Annie!
Annie: Oh, my God. What are you doing?
Megan: You're an asshole. I'm life. is life bothering you?
*Megan pushes Annie again*
Annie: Yes! What are you doing?
Megan: I'm life, Annie. I'm life, Annie. You have got to fight back on life.
Annie: Megan!
Megan: You better learn to fight.
*Megan hits Annie several times*
Annie: Megan!
Megan: I'm life and I'm going to bite you in the ass!
*well, Megan bites Annie in the butt*
Annie: *screaming* OWW!!! MEGAN!!
Megan: It's not me. I'm your life. Turn over!
Annie: My God!
*now Megan is on top of Annie, fighting in the couch*
Megan: I'm trying to get you to fight for your shitty life, and you won't do it! You just won't do it.
Annie: Stop it.
Megan: You stop slapping yourself. Stop slapping yourself. I'm your life, Annie. I'm your shitty...
*Annie slaps Megan hard in the face*
Megan: *grunts* OW!
*the fight stops*
Annie: I'm sorry.
Megan: Nice hit. All right. I'm glad to see you've got a little bit of spark in you. I knew that Annie was in there somewhere. I think... I think you're ready now to hear a little story about a girl. A girl named Megan. A girl named Megan that didn't have a very good time in high school. I'm referring to myself when I say "Megan." It's me, Megan.
Annie: Yeah, I got that.
Megan: I know you look at me now and think, "Boy, she must have breezed through high school." Not the case, Annie. No, *points to herself* this was not easy going up and down the halls. Okay? They used to try to blow me up. They threw firecrackers at my head. Firecrackers. I mean literally. I'm not saying that figuratively. I got firecrackers thrown at my head. They called me a freak.
Do you think I let that break me? Do you think I went home to my mommy, crying, "I don't have any friends. Megan doesn't have any friends" No, I did not. You know what I did?
I pulled myself up, I studied really hard.
I read every book in the library. And now? I work for the government. I have the highest possible security clearance. Don't repeat that!
Annie: I won't.
Megan: I can't protect you. I know where all the nukes are and I know the codes.
Annie: I won't say anything.
Megan: You would be amazed. A lot of shopping malls. Don't repeat that!
Annie: I won't.
Megan: I have six houses. I bought an 18-wheeler a couple of months ago just because I could.
Okay, you lost Lillian. You got another best friend sitting right in front of you, if you would notice. Huh?
Now, you got to stop feeling sorry for yourself. Okay, 'cause I do not associate with people that blame the world for their problems.
'Cause you're your problem, Annie. And you're also your solution.
Right? I mean, that's... You get that?
Annie: I just miss her, I guess.
Megan: Yeah, I know you do. I know you do.
All right, come on. Bring it in.
*They hug*
Megan: There's the Annie... There's the Annie I knew was there, okay? All right. Man, you have got to wash your hair.
Annie: I'm sorry.
Megan: You've got to wash that hair.

Viejas peleando
hehehehe
Esta es una de esas cosas... que te hacen sentir mejor después de verlas. Y lo mejor de todo es que termina como deberían terminar todo siempre: con un abrazo (vi mucho Full House de chiquito)
Ya sé lo que estás pensando, cómo es que a un tipo duro y machote como yo le gustan este tipo de películas? Pues... sí, confieso mi secreto y qué: me fascinan las comedias romanticas, los abrazos, los besos, los diálogos y hablar de nuestros sentimientos mientras tomamos cocoa caliente metidos entre las chamarras.
