"Meme"

According to memetic theory, a meme (IPA: /me:me/, IPA: /me:m/ or IPA: /mi:m/) — a unit of cultural information, cultural evolution or diffusion — propagates from one mind to another analogously to the way in which a gene propagates from one organism to another as a unit of genetic information and of biological evolution. So with memes, some ideas will propagate less successfully and become extinct, while others will survive, spread, and, for better or for worse, mutate.

Sera que de aqui viene la palabra "meme"? Mi amiga Maie me envio esto para que lo llenara y supongo que puede tener algo que ver con lo de pasar ideas o en este caso encuestas de blog en blog...bueno sin mas a que hacer referencia a responder las preguntas:

1-Olores y sabores que me recuerdan mi infancia:
Sabores los helados de Efe "Morochos" de limonada y uvita y el bom bon, de fresa, chocolate y leche condensada. Olores no recuerdo ahora mismo ninguno en especial.

2- Personaje favorito de historieta o cuento que hubiese querido ser:
Me encantaba Lalabel la niña de las flores (que galla)jejeje y Punky Brewster, pensar que una vez hasta me amarre un pañuelo en la rodilla sobre los jeanes como ella lo hacia !!

3- Que animal quisiera ser?
Un ave quizas? No me lo he pensado...

4- Maña o manía que conservas desde la infancia
No tendria por donde empezar jejejeje soy una confesada OC, asi que mañas tengo para regalar !!! Pero una en particular, levantarme la punta de la nariz, sera que creo que asi me la voy a arreglar? jejejeje


5-Si volviera a la adolescencia que cambiaria
No haber sido tan galla la verdad, saber defenderme mas de los verdaremente gallos que se metieron conmigo en el colegio buhhh =S jejeje

6- Como imaginabas tu vida cuando niño?

Como ahora, casada con hijos.

7- Alguna vez se te ha escapado un sueño?
Si muchisimos, por falta de constancia y enfoque en realidad.

y...8- Como te gustaría que te recordaran tus hijos?
Como su mejor amiga, un ser abierto, sin tabues, con tremenda personalidad e idea bien formadas que no se convencia asi no mas en lo que le dijeran los demas. Como un ser que dedico todo su amor a ellos y su padre, y que hizo todo lo que pudo por dar lo mejor de ella. Sera mucho pedir??? =))

Worst Blogger Ever !

It's official, I'm the worst blogger ever. People who commit to this, they try to post entries -at least- once a week, which was my ideal at the beginning, but it's been so long since I last wrote something that I didn't even remember where the "New Post" field was located in the screen, how much does that say?!

I could blame it on bad organization, wrong or right set of priorities, having a baby doesn't hurt to lack of time either, but first and foremost I guess my obsessive compulsiveness is the main culprit for my lack of time.

Granted, my mind is just not at ease when things are all over the place at home, or my kitchen and bathroom are anywhere near dirty. If I were just a "normal" person, leading a "normal" life, where a little bit of mess was allowed, I had all the time in the world not only to write in my blog, but to do other thousand things...well not a thousand, but I am now willing to admit I could be much more efficient at managing my time. While I wait to go to a shrink, I'll do my best to repeat to myself "it's OK to be a bit messy and no so crazily positioning things around the house".

People not suffering from this, might be quick in judging and ruling this as simple madness, well in all honesty I don't feel that far from defining it at such myself, but it's hard to fight with your own brain!

Well I could go on and on about this subject, but I don't feel particularly inspired in telling about my OC's (obsessive compulsiveness) quirks, nor I think they are any relevant in today's post.

Where there's a will there's a way, so I'll start to lighten my life up a bit by hiring some very needed help around the house, at least to do those things my poor and weakened lower back cannot. I'm hoping that that and some serious change in behavior form my part towards cleanliness, will open for a door where I can sit down while my baby sleeps and put some ideas together.

Just right now I must hurry and prepare dinner...so much for changing, right? LOL !!

I need to catch up !!!

My poor mind needs to drain so many accumulated thoughts !! But, apparently I'm not that good at organizing my time, or lack of, I get no free time, and the little I have is not like I can just start my inspiration engine out of the blue, or just after being tired cleaning, cooking, sweeping the floor...you know the overly underrated "house" duties I get so little credit for.


Hope to get some time today !!!

What would be of our existence without music...at least mine!

If having no time is all that I'm left with...then, in the meantime, I'll post thoughts through music...through people that know how to put together feelings in a way I could never even get close, so I hope -if there's still somebody visiting this every now and then, you get to know this music genius named Damien Rice.

I'm just speechless when it comes to describe him...I went to his concert this past Monday, and I was blown away, he reinvents himself on stage in a way that almost puts his CDs to shame, and those are just magnificent...so go figure !

It might be a bit strident for some, to me...total genius !

Enjoy !

Learning: does it always have to be the hard way?

I had planned to talk about fear, but an early event this morning had me thinking about the learning process, or is it adapting process or am I stepping into the changing process as well?

It all sounds overly complicated, but they are all intertwined and the whole process cannot be possible without applying them all. The saying goes like: "nobody learns from somebody else's experiences", which is true, but sometimes how many times something unpleasant has to happen to us till we decide it's time not to do it anymore or that we need to change our reaction towards that given situation in other to change the outcome?

Answer: I don't know...What can we do? Be drastic? Do we really need to lose the cool to get results? Why does it seem that we learn through regret...If I had the chance again...if I could I'd do it different this time around...If she/he was still here I'd be different...really? Is that so? What the hell don't we think straight at the very moment and realize that we don't know when this moment of regret will come, that we are here now, but in the blink of an eye we might not.

It is indeed a very apocalyptic take on the matter, but that's life, we should not go by it thinking it will last forever, and we'll have thousand years to apologize to our loved ones for some hurt caused. I have totally digress, or maybe not...I basically applying learning to relationships, when we are in corrupted relationships, the whole process of learning loses perspective, and then we are just trapped in deteriorated circles where the way out is sometimes -or maybe for some- to hard to find. So of course, for beginners the trick is not to let it become corroded, but what with the damaged deals, don't we have a chance?

When enough is enough? Which is that defining moment that marks the turning point, does it always have to be a dramatic one? One where regret is all there's left?

Do people change? Can we really adapt? In relationships how many times you need to be reminded of something before you actually realize that what you are doing or the behavior you are opting is causing damage, is it really too difficult to seat down and just digest that it is wrong, it affects your other "half", and it needs to go away in other for the relationship to evolve?? If something is bad it doesn't mean it needs to be bad forever, I believe things can change, but I guess the other person needs to believe that as well, otherwise fuck the learning, fuck the change, and fuck the relationship !

We are all about evolution, and even our relationships at all levels need to evolve, but we need to learn how to adapt and change in a good way for those to grow at the same time that we grow and want and mainly need different things.

Herewith a little note, and Coming up: "It's all about fear..."

I apologize for having asked for comments...guess it was a misunderstanding of the blog usage. In the end it's true you write and so it goes, the writer never gets replies back, only in the form of reviews or word of mouth later.

If you feel like it please feel free to comment about it, if not I hope you have read anyways and enjoyed it =)

I need to get better, I got the flu =(
