Life Life

Life happens - no I didn't say Sh%t happens but LIFE! Now not everything in life is great or happens as we feel it should or want it to...regardless, LIFE happens. Some things you can control - Hmmm what will I wear, what will I eat, etc... Then there are those things you can't - those things that you usually say right after saying "wow, I can't believe that happened..." or " wow, I can't believe he/she did that or said that".

The trick is to figure out that the only thing any of us can really control is our response to this thing called LIFE. When LIFE throws curve balls, and it will, what do you do? What are your options? There are a multitude of responses to LIFE but which would be the best response? What is the ultimate choice? Here's a few of them:
  1. Get angry... At the situation and everybody involved directly or indirectly and lash out. But hmm, how does that help? Does LIFE care that you got angry?
  2. Seek revenge...The goal is of course to get even but with who...LIFE? 
  3. Withdraw ...from your family, from your friends basically from LIFE in general.
  4. Cry...Can be cleansing and might help you release some emotions that LIFE created.
  5. Accept...That LIFE isn't always going to be peaches and cream - and really who wants that anyway? (Sounds kinda gross) 
#5 is my personal favorite - okay sometimes it starts off with #4 but I try to focus on #5. It's actually the basis of my mantra - ACCEPT, ADAPT OR MIGRATE. If things don't go the way I want them to or wish they would, I ACCEPT that that's just LIFE. At that point, I ADAPT to whatever curveball LIFE has thrown at me as best I can. If all else fails and I cannot ADAPT to the situation, it's time to MIGRATE...AKA move on and let LIFE do it's thing.

Oscar Chronicles - All By Myself

  Hola, mis amigos. I'm not going to ask if you missed me because - well, I already know you did. But more than that, I'm not going to ask because I'm sad, angry and hungry. Okay, perhaps I'm always interested in some snacks...Anyway, your Oscar is sad. Why? Is because a couple of weeks ago mi persona favorito decided to remodel his room. No really! He took all of the things out of the room - even my bed! At first I was angry thinking that he was kicking me out! He even took down his posters and emptied his closet! But then I started seeing him bringing some stuff back. Several pairs of his zapatos, some shirts and chaquetas. Some things he even put in the basura! Things that were too small or too old - you know how they do, right? So yes,  A MAJOR CLEANING. His room was like SUPER CLEAN.  He and his Papa also bought in new stuff. New zapatos, shirts, pants. The new stuff he put into a new bag. Nice! Good storage. It even has wheels!! So he can move it around a lot easi...

POP QUIZ

You guys ever take one of those online quizzes? " WHAT YOUR FAVORITE COLOR SAYS ABOUT YOU" ... Or the ones about your astrological sign?  "WHAT MAKES A CANCER HAPPY?". .. "IF YOU'RE A PISCES YOU ARE THE ROMANTIC TYPE"   If you did, were the results accurate? I mean did they fit you and your personality? I've taken a few of these sorts of quizzes - just for fun. Astrology? Yeah, I've read my horoscope from time to time. Most of the time the results and the astrological stuff kinda fit and sometimes I'm like - hmm, that is SOOOOO not me. Either way, they usually make me think wow, am I really like that? I took a personality quiz - basically it was to determine if you are left-brained or right-brained. Most agree now that there isn't a clear distinction and that most people have traits/characteristics of both. Here are my results...pretty good but definitely missing a few Like there was nothing mentioned about me being artistic or imagin...

Golden Haze

There I was...minding my own business (no really, I was - this time) thought I'd do some note taking, some observing (okay maybe not completely minding my own business), get some ideas for some posts...and the craziest thing happened. I started noticing a few people walk by my table, look at me - stare at me really, some snickered, some outright laughed. I was thinking sheesh, what's up? No one said anything - just looked at me, looked down at my table, looked at me, laughed or chuckled and walked away...that was until this guy walked over and sat down next to me. Immediately, my internal alert system went into overdrive!!! STRANGER DANGER!!! Then he says the craziest thing to me... Stranger: Hey, yeah so are you here regularly?  (ALARM IS GETTING LOUDER)  Me: Excuse me? Stranger: Nah, I'm just saying if you're here like on the reg, and you're bold enough to advertise the merch I'm straight going to switch my loyalty to you.  Me: DAFUQ!  (INTER...
