It’s been a while (again)

Well, well, how am I supposed to get this post going? No idea!

I have been working way too much lately and I really haven’t been able to find any time to write anything, although I have found quite a few interesting things about the Leopard OS I figure they’re not worth posting since you probably found them on a million other sites out there, besides, who reads my blog anyway?

I’m still going to film school and it’s actually quite interesting, I must say I’m learning a lot and I’m really exited to get working with it someday pretty soon, but on the other hand I realize I’ve gotten my self into probably the most complicated career, having so much competitors and all of them so strong, some simply brilliant, having said all that I must also say that I’m not the type of guy that let’s go easily:

If I want something then I’ll go for it, no matter what.

Know what that means?, exactly, you’ll be hearing a lot more of me in the not-so-distant future.

Cheers! ;)

First there is a time when we believe everything, then for a little while we believe with discrimination, then we believe nothing whatever, and then we believe everything again – and, moreover, give reasons why we believe.

I finally gave it up!

I finally decided to quit eating animals, meaning I turned into a vegetarian. The idea of changing my lifestyle has been around for actually quite a while but I could never find the time to really stop, think about it and act, I just felt the time wasn’t right.

Last weekend I watched several movies, as usual, and among them two very particular ones: “Fast Food Nation” and “Earthlings” which is more of a documentary film and I really recommend everybody to watch this films.

We always hear stories about how animals are treated but you don’t realize what’s going on until you see it.

When I was done with them I felt like being human was definitely the worst thing in the world but, at the same time, if I was an animal I would have been killed already. So what’s the point of life?

Over centuries we have evolved and certainly not for good. We have evolved to kill, to destroy, to manipulate, to not respect our fellow “earthlings” and just treat them as “things”, material that must be used and disposed after we have satisfied our -so called- needs.

Every week there are about 17 million chicken executed in the US only and if you go to a restaurant and order chicken they will certainly bring you a plate filled with more chicken than you could possibly eat. The rest is thrown away. Should we call that a “need”?

Everyday about 19000 animals (almost 7 million per year) are killed in tests. Cats, dogs, pigs, monkeys, almost every animal you could think of and yet again I ask: Should we call that a “need”?

Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it’s a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from.

Uncle Rico: I wish you wouldn’t look at me like that, Napoleon.
Napoleon Dynamite: I wish you’d get out of my life and shut up!
Uncle Rico: I’m gonna tell you somethin’ right now. While you’re out there playing patty cake with your friend Pedro, your Uncle Rico is makin’ 120 bucks.
Napoleon Dynamite: I could make that much money in five seconds!
Kip: Geez. Yeah right, Napoleon. I made, like, 75 bucks today.
Uncle Rico: Napoleon, it’s looks like you don’t have a job. So why don’t you get out there and feed Tina.
Napoleon Dynamite: Why don’t you go eat a decroded piece of crap!
