Reflections

Hey blogoverse!

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where it just seems that no matter what you do it just isn't enough? Maybe you thought it was enough for you but maybe not so much for the people in your life?

An example? I'm so glad you asked. Say for instance you are in a relationship with this great guy/girl. I mean they literally make you smile just when they run across your mind. The problem is they don't quite have the same feelings about you. While you would do and have done so much to make them happy - meanwhile all you hear is criticisms. Oh some are subtle - "you know, you'd be really pretty with straight hair." 

Some not so much - "why are you always reading? How many books does one person need! Ugh, don't you do anything fun? Man, you are so boring. All you ever do is read, watch tv and write in those notebooks. You never get drunk, you don't do drugs..why don't you live a little for Pete's sake!!!  You have to do something because I cannot be with a boring person like you!"

Ouch! That's brutal, huh? This whole time you thought you were a pretty decent person...honest, loyal, faithful, romantic, responsible and yeah ok, a little (maybe a lot) nerdy. But you thought they liked you, right?  You liked them and wouldn't change one thing about them. 

After the initial hurt starts to fade, you begin to wonder if there's something to what they said. Maybe you should drink a little more or really do you have to read sooooooo many books? Is it that big a deal to not go to the international Comic Con event in San Diego? 

YES!!!! Yes it is a big deal not to go to Comic Con!!! Why? Because at that point you are missing out on something you really enjoy and have been looking forward to all year. And why? Because someone who clearly doesn't appreciate you for you says it's too nerdy??!!!

So now, I want you to take a look at yourself...wait let me get you a mirror...Okay here...


Now who do you see?? Do you see a great, totally wonderful person staring back at you? The romantic, loyal, honest and yeah slightly nerdy, Comic Con loving you? Pretty cool, right?

So I say - read those books - IDC if they are sappy romance, sci-fi or the latest graphic novel or comic book. Don't become some drink chugging, smoking machine if that's not you. Instead, start working on your costume for the event and make it spectacular - just like you!

What I'm trying to say with all this is this...Never change who you are for someone who never saw you for who you were...

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...

Being Strong Is Not for the Weak

Sometimes you may get tired and fed up. I mean come on, life has a way of testing you…and I mean way worse than any pop quiz you might have had. Sometimes the test starts small. Broke a nail after a fresh manicure? Hit your shin on the corner of the bed? (ouch). Then maybe it ramps up to you dropping your brand new cell phone face down on the pavement…while trying to put on the screen protector. Ugh! That sucks, right? Then there are household bills...sure you have some, right?  Yeah, they eat away a good chunk of your paycheck but you’re managing. Then a major appliance dies…then some shingles fall off your roof.. Sucks but ok. It seems like one thing after another after another. Sigh... but somehow you’re standing strong and making do, holding on. And then…car issues start happening…flat tires, brakes need replacing and then transmission blows! What?!! But you’ve got to be strong right? You’re an adult and you can and have to deal with these things. You can manage, right? Yeah? ...

Lessons Learned

You know, some people are just born lucky. No wait- hear me out! There are those people who could eat their weight in pizza and burgers and never gain an ounce...or worse, lose a pound or two. There are those people who can read a book once- cover to cover, mind you - and be able to site it word for word, down to the page the section came from. (Wouldn't that be a nifty skill to have around exam time?) There are those people who always seem to have the best EVERYTHING - families, jobs, homes, cars, wardrobes, dogs, friends, parking spaces! The list is endless. And there are those who for whatever reason, they never seem to encounter a time when things truly go wrong. Am I one of these people? Do any of the above fit the description of my life? With the exception of having the best family - cause let's face I do - nope. And is that okay? No, it's GREAT! If life was perfect, with no ups and downs, goodness how boring would that be? What stories would I have to tell ...
