Have not done one of this in a while and had to steal this one.

People who know me think: a good person that you do not want to cross
If you knew me you’d probably: be surprised by how different I can be from what you see here.
Sometimes I feel: like I need 24 extra hours in every day.
My days are pretty: full, wish I had more time.
Yesterday: Woke up, had coffee and a muffin, worked, had a good lunch, worked, had pop corn, watched TV, read, slept.
In the morning I: wake up to an amazing woman right next to me.
I like to sleep: holding onto my baby.
If I could be doing anything right now I would be: Traveling the world with the woman I love.
Money: is not every, but it does help.
One thing I don’t have that I wish I did is: a motorcycle
One thing I have that I wish I didn’t is: this cold that will not go away.
All you need is: love.
All I need is: more time and money
If I had one wish it would be: To not need money.
Love is: Cielo.
If I could see one person right now it would be: My baby, soon
Something I want but I don’t really need is: a second motorcycle
I live for: the persuit of happiness.
I am afraid of: confined spaces.
It makes me angry when: Life is harder than what it seems it should be.
I dream about: Things I cannot remember.
I daydream about: Remodeling the house, traveling, winning the lotto, the future.

A woman walked into the kitchen to find her husband stalking around with a fly swatter.

“What are you doing?” She asked.

“Hunting Flies” He responded.

“Oh. Killing any?” She asked.

“Yep, 3 males, 2 Females,” he replied.

Intrigued, she asked. “How can you tell them apart?”

He responded, “3 were on a beer can, 2 were on the phone.”

And here is how Man ruin romance

I have been told before that I should read Dean Koontz but I never got the chance until Cielo suggested Intensity. I am glad I read the book because Mr. Koontz is indeed an excellent writer. His descriptive narrative is excellent and it immerses you in a world that is not only full of sinister twist details but also leaves bread crumbs as shred of hope. I might have read his best book but I doubt it. I cannot wait to start reading another one of his novels.

A young woman staying as a guest in a Napa Valley farmhouse becomes trapped in a fight for survival with a self-proclaimed “homicidal adventurer”, and races to warn his next intended victim. Unrelentingly terrifying, this book lives up to its name.

Intensity is a fast paced book that does character points of view beautifully. You feel the fear and urgency of the victims, and when it switches point of view to the other side you can experience the intensity of the villain. At first the book seemed dark, very dark with little hope. As the story unfolds hope is dangled in front of you as a carrot that seems unreachable.

I recommend reading this book while I do advise those of weak stomach to proceed with caution. There are very graphic instances where you might have to read carefully or end up giving your dinner to the toilet. To find out if evil wins the battle in the end you will have to turn the pages. Some might think that letting the bad guys win is a bad thing, but don’t we live in the real world?

Happy reading.

“The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so
certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.”
– Bertrand Russel

I had already posted a couple of quotes about doubt, but this quote really made me think. It is not an explanation of the world but it does give us a clue… what do you think?

Here is the translation of one of the most beautiful songs by Juanes.

A Dios le pido
I ask of God

Por los dias que me quedan
For the days that I have left
y las noches que aun no llegan yo
And the night that have yet to arrive I
A dios le pido
Ask of God
Por los hijos de mis hijos y los hijos de tus hijos
For the kids of my kids and the kids of your kids
A dios le pido
Ask of God
Que mi pueblo no derrame tanta sangre y se levante mi gente
That my people don’t shed so much blood and rise again
A dios le pido
Ask of God
Que mi alma no descanse cuando de amarte se trate mi cielo
That my soul never rest when it comes to loving you mi Cielo
A dios le pido
Ask of God

Un segundo mas de vida para darte y mi corazon entero entregarte
A second more of life to give you and my whole heart deliver to you
Un segundo mas de vida para darte y a tu lado para siempre yo quedarme
A second more of life to give you and by your side for ever be
Un segundo mas de vida yo a dios le pido
A second more of life to give you I ask of God
Y que si me muero sea de amor
That if I die is because of love
Y si me enamoro sea de vos
That if I fall in love it would be with you
Y que de tu voz sea este corazon todos los dias a dios le pido
And that of your voice this heart can be, every day I ask of God

Well, I got into a conversation about the neck tie’s origin. I was asked why do men wear it, and I had in the past looked it up but could not remember the reason. Here is a little historical account of the origin of the neck tie. If you have no clue, then post what you think the origin of the neck tie is… or just what comes to mine before you Click Here

Now with that read, if you had the change to click and read, there is something called a Colombian Neck Tie. While it is not a thing that I will like to describe here lets just say it is not for the weak of stomach. It was an interesting read nonetheless

Well, Today might be the last time that we have the LLL since BDI is back up I want to direct my influx over there… so participate today and don’t forget to go do the mambo!!! THE CRAZIES ARE BACK

Today we move from word association to scent memory. I know I associate certain scents to memories, or better yet a scent can bring back very vivid memories. Now lets not exclude those that are olfactory impaired and just let them use their imagination. It is easy to play, just close your eyes and think of the scent and then tell us what comes to mind. It does not have to be a memory, but if it is share

Fresh Rain:
Coffee:
Hot Cocoa:
The Ocean:

Now lets keep on thinking of scents and lets come up with some goofy questions.

1. What air freshener do you prefer to use in your car? New car smell, Strawberry, Lilac? Why do you like it a memory attached to it?

3. Candles, incense, air fresheners… are there anything items that you use to make your home scented?
