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...

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...

Who are you? - Tra

I’m admittedly curious about, well, quite a few things. But perhaps I am the most interested in people. Why they do the things they do…their likes, dislikes, dreams and aspirations. Sooooooo I figured, why not ask a few people a few things about themselves. I’m going to try to convince , cajole, coerce ,  beg , ask a few people to take a few minutes to talk about their favorite subject - THEMSELVES. This is the first in what I hope will be many entries in the series   WHO ARE YOU? My first victim , guinea pig, test subject, guest is Tra.   I had the pleasure of interviewing him this afternoon. Here’s what he had to say: Mackgurl: Tra,thank you for agreeing to chat with me today. Tra: My pleasure. Mackgurl: Okay so no pressure just a few questions to help us learn about you. Ready? Tra: Ready Mackgurl: Great! First question. - What do you do? And by that I mean, for a living? Tra: I sell Kirby vacuums. Mackgurl: A salesman! Very nice! How...
