]]> ~AudioXceL Twisted ankle, twisted mind http://AudioXceL.deviantart.com/journal/25593473/ http://AudioXceL.deviantart.com/journal/25593473/ Sat, 27 Jun 2009 19:25:12 PDT
At the very start of the game, i noticed that the bottom corner was covered with very fine dust, courtesy of rain (it drags the dust from the walls or the floor, and deposits it on the corner).
At a sprint i did to the corner i fell in the dust, hitting my left foot, nothing really serious, just a little pain.

But 10 minutes later, the disaster came up, a close to the wall ball, and i ran to the corner to catch it before it touches the bottom wall, and when i was about to hit it, bam!, the dust cause my right foot to slip, and my ankle twisted (with all my weight on it), i hit the ball, but i lost the point.

There on the ground, i was almost crying of the pain, but after my mind recovered from the twisting, and the shock, the only thing i said to my parter was "So, the bone isnt popped out, that's good..." (i mean it).

I spent a couple minutes on the floor, in the dust, till i was able to get up by myself, my partner asked me if it was better to stop playing, but we just got in there so i told him to gave me a few minutes to recover, then we keep playing.

I didnt wanted to stop, cuz i kneew that if i stopped, my foot will cool down, and then it will hurt. My house its only a few blocks away, but with my foot in that condition, i wouldnt be able to cross the traffic-filled streets.

About an hour later, we stoped playing, and my foot wasnt that bad, i could walk pretty easily, so i went home.

In my house i sat on the table to eat super, but when i get up, well.... i couldnt. My foot cool down, so it started to hurt, later i applied some ice to stop the swallow, but it hurted badly.

At night, i barely was able to get into the shower, the cold water helped with the pain, and that was the end of this day, a twisted day....

When i got up today, i wasnt able to put weight on my foot at all, so i took a stick and used it to help me walk. But at super time, the pain went down about 50%, so im now able to walk...almost very well

I hope it gets better by monday, cuz you know.... Monday its Tenis time!!!

With this win, Federer equaled Pete Sampras's record of 14 Grand Slam titles, and he became the sixth man to complete a Career Grand Slam.

Next tournament on the schedule is another Grand Slam, Wimbledon, we'll see if roger can retake the title, or if nadal will find the now lost focus.

Today:

Azarenka def. Ivanovic (6-2, 6-3)

I was at the table, preparing a can of veggie juice, and ive just finished squizing some lemons.
And i was about to add the glass some salt, to neutralize the lemon juice, and right before i could take the salt, my throat just closed, it just did!, no apparent reason, as far as i know im not allergic to lemons (if so, i would be already dead).

I was fighting with it for like 40 seconds, breathing was getting harder and harder, and my mind was running in circles, every second that passed seemed fuzzier than the last one, i spent all my energy trying to take a breath, my dad was very calmed saying "dont fight it, just dont breath" (he wasnt choking, so he was calmed), and my mother offered me a glass of water (yeah, i cant breath, but i can drink... stupid world).

And after 50 or more seconds of suffering, as fast as it started, it stopped, i was tired, scared, and a million things i cant describe.

And it all happened in the dinning room, in front of my parents, what could have happened if i was alone, and what if it didnt stopped?, could i be gone by now? shure thing...

And in news i guess nobody cares about, Roland Garros started today (i woke up at 5am to see the early rounds), Federer, Nadal and Djokovic will play tomorrow.
And on wednesday its the Champions league finale.

Nadal:
*If he wins, he will be the first player ever to win all 3 Masters on clay surface
*He will be the first winner of the tournament, a spaniard on spain

Federer:
*If he wins, this will be his first masters title since Cincinnati 2007
*Would break a 5 row of lost games to nadal
*Would secure its second place in the ranking

The game started by nadal serving, Federer was calmed, as he knew that Nadal was really tired, because of last night game against Djokovic (4hrs of game), so all that Federer needed to do, was play calmed and relaxed.

In the first set Federer saved 2 break points, and scored 1 to nadal, enough to win the set without a tiebreak, or additional points (6-4).

In the second set, Nadal was much more desperate, and his game sufered, as in the first set, nadal manage to get 2 break points, but lost both of them, and Federer won the only one.
At 5-3, Federer won the advantage after a douce, and Nadal managed to save 2 M.P., but knowing that his serve was next, and that the 4th point wasnt dangerous, Federer didnt go further after this.
Now Federer on the serve, the things went as planed by federer, beating Nadal for the first time in years, 6-4, 6-4.

Next one is Roland Garos, Federer has never won this tournament, so its a nice chance to get on to it.

Congrats Federer.

Stores cafes and such opened today, and so did the sports facilities (i went to play tenis at 8 am).

And tomorrow (its 12, so its today) clases start, again.

So what i did in these long days, nothing really, i took some photos, nothing special, and i watched lots of movies, the only thing i liked of this time was that i could wake up at 6 am to watch the Internazionali BNL D'ITALIA open (tennnis), and due to school i wont be able to do that again for the nex tournament.

Experts say this will hit the northen hemisphere again in winter, maybe more deadly, who really knows?

Im not sure why, but nobody seems to write anything in their journals right now, i wonder why...

Mexico, with 443 confirmed cases, and 16 confirmed deaths, it's struggling to prevent more deaths, and to acomplish this goal, aproveed a couple of measures, some strong and some mild.
Most of these measures where taken only in the Mexico City and the DF, the most afected area in the country (96 cases).

Some of the usual stuff included the distribute of surgical masks in the streets, to prevent people from getting the flu.
And in some hard matter, all food selling stores must either close, or sell only take away food, also all bars and disco stuff must close.

This was seen in the DF since friday of the last week, but what about the "whole country", i mean, where in danger too, right?....
On that friday there was a press conference in wich all the availiable info was given to the press, my dad is a epidemiologist so this is his matter.
That same day, after school some friends and i went to play tennis, and we where talking about this stuff, at that time it was still called "swine flu", and we tought the press and the goverment where overreacting, i mean, its just flu!, right?

So it was monday, waking up early, take the bus as usual, nothing interesting... but a girl that always takes the same bus as i, was coughing, so what?, i feel sick every morning too... (thats the price of having the beach one mile ahead).
So now in school we entered the lab, for a 3 hour-long, boring and never ending class, and while doing nothing i went to check on the news, and found a news article, it says that the classes where suspended in some parts of my state, i said this outloud, so my teacher heard, and came to me, and when she ended reading it she speaked with a theacher otside, i was guessing that the classes suspension in the whole state was inminent.

So as i guessed, a couple hours later, the pricipal came to our classroom and told us the news, classes are suspended until may 6, in the whole country!, wow, i wasnt expecting that.
Some friends and i stayed at school for a couple hours, we went to check on the chickens of the agro.b, and the fastest horse in school (wich is also the only horse).

As all fridays, after school we went to play tennis (4 to 5 straight hours), but guess what, the place was closed!, i wasnt expecting this either, i mean why?, am i gonna get the flu in a tennis court?, its senseless.

So it all comes to this, due to this stupid paranoia, im stucked im my house, with nothing to do, and nowhere to go.

So here it is whats in my mind, it isnt ordered, and it isnt clear either, but i hope someone understands it

Due to location, and timing, most of the games are scheduled to start at 5am (mexico city), so i guess im gonna miss a couple.

And as i expected, Roger Federer accepted the Wildcard and is now seeded no 2, so that makes Andy Roddick the only player in the top 10 that is missing in the first event of the clay season, the season ends with the French Open, on may 24.

And so i did a channel search, from 40 to 71 (mostly movie channels) and i found a couple good movies, but i keep changing the channel, and around 60 or so i found TCM, a channel that airs all day hollywood classics, and guess what movie was it? ben-hur.

I almost growed up with Ben-Hur (along with the liong king, thumbelina, terminator, back to the future, and so), my dad owned the book, so i was really much into it, so i decided to sit, and watch.

My dad was laughing when he saw me, cuz i dont like oldies, but here i was watching ben-hur, and i had to explain him that it was a "personal" classic, and no mather how old it was, i like it.

The first thing that shocked me was the amount of details i didnt remember, lots and lots of them (maybe some lost in translation, cuz this one was a sub) and then, the final i remembered, wasnt the real final!!

The final i remembered was ben-hur entering the valley of the leppers, to feed his mother and sister, guss what?, ot by far that is the end, still about 2 hours remaining. And talking about time, the movie i remembered lasted for about 2 hours with commercials (free channel), this one, without commercials, lasted almost 5 hours!!! (pay channel)...a couple bucks a year can make miracles.

So it was a saturday to remember, i saw Ben-Hur for the last time, maybe, 10 years ago, with another eyes, and now, the spirit remains, but the mind, has changed.

The match was dominated by Murray from the first point, ending the first set 6-2.

In the second set Djokovic was a lot more focused, and Murray struggled to keep his game.
Murray double faults where considerably more in the second set than in the first one, giving Djokovic an advantage of 3-1.
However Murray, taking advantage of Djokovic mistakes, won several points in a row, leaving the score 5-5.
At this point Murray was at only 2 points of the title, and Djokovic had to push his way to the 6th point, to force the set to a tiebreak, and a 6th set.
Murray scored the next 2 points, and the final score was 6-2, 7-5

This is Murray's third ATP title in 2009.

The next tournament in the Master 1000 series, is the Rolex Montecarlo Masters, starting april 13.

If Dent had won this game, he would have retired, i mean, a
The points were fast, but it all changed when the score was 2-2, one only game lasted for 15 minutes, deuce after deuce, but Federer finally won it.

The rest of the set was the same, 4 in a row for Federer.

The first game of the second set lasted almost 10 minutes (again), Federer won again, after that Dent take advantage of a break point to score a game.

The last game was going on 40-0, then 15-0, and then 30-0, federer wasnt very focused, but he won by a mistake by Dent.

Nice game, Federer looked very entertained with it, no doubt this was easy for him, so i tought he's only having fun at this point

next game: Federer-Roddick

Federer lost the first game, to win the next three in a row, and after some tense moments, and a couple of break points, Federer won the first set, 6-4.

The second set was meant to be more calmed to Federer, losing again the first game, but winning the rest in a row.

I tought it couldnt happen, murray beating federer?, seed 4 beating seed 2?, looks looks a nightmare

But well, federer did play kinda bad in the first set, recovering partially in the second set, only to get worse at the third set.

He confirmed that he wont be in Monte Carlo Rolex Masters, but maybe he will reconsider it after yesterdays match.

Murray . 6 4 6

But after a while it seemed to me too "expensive" and if i know how to cook, it didnt make any sense to buy it already made, so home made will be.

After i figured that out, the next question came by: WHAT?. and so on...Simple?, complicated?, cheap?, expensive?....

So i was in "that" situation for about a week, and on a rutine mall day, i crossed with something that really pulled my imagination, a roll of turkey breast, precooked, no bones. And not that expensive, about $7usd/kg ($3 a pound) so that was it!, i had the first dish (well, the meat for the first dish), so whats next?... the actual recipe for it!!!

So i looked for a big book my grandma gave to me when she left the city, this book its like the holy grail of my recipe books, its an amazing book with recipes for almost everythig!, so i looked for turkey, and there where only like 10 dishes, so with a little hope i searched the page...First recipe, Christmas Turkey..No, Second Recipe, Turkey Scalope..No, Third Recipe, Wellington Turkey..mmm sounds good, ingredients: Turkey Breast!!! GOT IT!!, now check it... sounds good, lets do this.

So now i have my recipe, whats next?, make guarnitions and desserts or it:

First Dish:
-Wellington Turkey Breast
(For this recipe you have to make stuff like if it was a traditional turkey)
Guarnitions:
-Mashed potatoes
-Green Spaghetti (original is made with chili, but this time ill replace it with broccoli)
Desserts (yes, there are more than one

):
-Ris a l'ammande (danish rice pudding, cherry licor is used but ill replace it with amaretto)

At this point i didnt know what was happening, maybe i did knew, but i didnt understand it.

A little text about it, written by me:

English

Today, seven years ago
Was a day that changed the world
Filled us with tears
and with feelings
For the first time, we feel powerless
Without the strength to change our destiny
That day, a new enemy was revealed
But an ideal was born
An ideal of justice
but overall, of freedom
DonÂ´t let the fear take it from you
Terrorism couldnÂ´t steal it that day
And never may do so
9/11
Never Forget!

Spanish:

El dia de hoy, hace siete aÃ±os
Fue un dia que cambio al mundo
Nos lleno de lagrimas
de sentimientos
Por primera vez nos sentimos impotentes
Sin fuerzas para cambiar nuestro destino
Ese dia se revelo un nuevo enemigo
Pero tambien nacio un ideal
Un ideal de justicia
Pero sobre todo, de libertad
No dejemos que el miedo nos la arrebate
El terrorismo no nos lo quito ese dia
Y nunca podra hacerlo
9/11
Never Forget!

Later on this week's monday, my family and i go to hang out to HEB, you know the big mall and store here in tampico.
Of all stores here, HEB is the one i most like, always fresh fruits, a great selection of cheese, and overall the fact that they mostly sell food and stuff made in the US!, yep, with the quality standars of the US, not some stupid mexican law.

The also have a great coffee bar, the cup costs one dollar, but you have free unlimited refills!, thats right, for one dollar you can take liters of coffee!
And you have ALWAYS 3 flavors to choose from, regular toasted, flavored and decaf, they change the flavors of the 3 in the day.

And so where we, driking coffee, we where going to eat at city club, a store located near HEB, so i go to refill the coffee one last time.
And i saw the american couple i talked early about, they have buyed a cup and where preparing the coffee, milk, sugar that kind of stuff.
And in the motion and the fact that the bar was kinda filled with people, the coffee spilled from the cup, the guy gets a little burn, left the coffee in the bar and asks to the girl, "How do i ask her for a napkin?" (her, the bar attender), he was no idea how to ask for the girl in the bar for a napkin, and i was like, ok, theyre in a hurry, and they have no idea how to ask for a napkin....im gonna be a god city fella

So i ask the girl in the bar for a napkin, she actually give me like 5, and just as she gave it to me, i gave it to the guy, he smile to me and say "Gracias"

That little thing i did, make my day

So if any of you, in your own country, founds this sittuation, please help, youll not regret

I was supposed to pick her up to her home at about 12:40, but it was raining a lot, and the streets where flooded, so i have to take a bus (we live at about 5 minutes of each other, so in a normal day i would have walked

).

So finally after 20mins of waiting, the bus showed up, i payed him usd .50 cents, and go!.

I came to her house at about 1:00, i did know the street in wich she lives, but i didnt know her house, cuz in the year we where togheter in middle school i never visited her, i was walking down the street looking for something white, mmmm i see a white house, like 5 houses from me, and then she just says: Rodrigo!, and well, i think i found her house

(or she found me), and the thing that was white, wasnt the house, was the door

.

Her mom came out, for experience with moms of friend i know that some are "angry" (a lot), but to my own surprise, she wasnt, she was a (if im allowed to say) sweet mom, i mean she invite me to spet in to wait for jenny while she gets a jacket (cuz it was raining, and starting to cold).

She then ask me if i was the guy from [link] adn i just answered her "yes", she turn out to be a fan of my work

.
I also say hi to her 2 little brothers (guessing 7 or 8 years old), and her grandmother.

She then ask me to get her back before 5:00, the movie started at 1:45 so i tought we have enough time

, whe then left her house.

We walk till the corner, talking of our lifes in the past year, and the lifes of the other guys in our class, much of them lef school cuz of problems, one girl became a bulimic, other turned out to be a punk-dark marilyn-manson lover, and a good friend is now EMO, so sad.

In the corner she picked up a taxi, weird cuz we could have walked a few corners and take a bus, and the most surprising thing is that she didnt ask a price before entering the car, thats nuts!, you have to ask for a price BEFORE entering the car, to have a guarantee, anyway the guy charged us with usd 3, we could have spent 1 dollar if isntead of the taxi, we used a bus, but anyway.

We go inside, the place is called MM Cinemas, a nice and friendly place, see the screens and choose to see Wall-E at 1:45, the tickets where at usd 3.5, not that expensive.
We then go and spend 7 bucks on a popcorn, soda and hot dog combo, we split costs half each one, as im not dating her it is fair enough

The movie started, and it turned out to be a excellent movie, just like toy story, and finding nemo

, lovely in all kinds, really worth it.

QUICK REVIEW
Earth becomes a distopia, after the humans use all natural resources and the earth is a trash, but theres a hope, Wall-E's, little bots that are suposed to pick up the trash and in term of 5 years, make the earth capable of supporting life again.
In the meantime, humans are set into space-cruisers (with the shape of a royal caribbean ship), in wich robots take control of everything, making life much easier in this 5 years, the biggest one is the Axioma.
Saddly the plan fails, and all Wall-E's became useless, exception ONE, he develops intelligence, and when a part of him is failing, he goes to the body of a dead robot and take the part off, that way he survived 700 years.

And then in a normal day, he sees a red spot, the spot moves and so do Wall-E, and suddenly the point stops, and a ship lands there, wall-e goes into cover, and see how a egg shaped white robot lands.

He then follows the robot, and finally, after several close to death experiences he presents to her.

He follows her, and he invites her to go to his "home", in there he shows her an ipod, a tv and a dancing videos, as she showed no interest he opens itself and reveals a plant, a green plant, she just enters in a coma state, with a green shaped icon in her body.

She is in a coma for about a week, and Wall-E, after lossing all hope o... ]]> ~AudioXceL Jenny returns! http://AudioXceL.deviantart.com/journal/19215107/ http://AudioXceL.deviantart.com/journal/19215107/ Sat, 05 Jul 2008 08:04:49 PDT .

Anyway the other 2 female dogs that fight her are bitches, i hate them but i cant kill them cuz that will make me an assassin.

Here's the story:

I was sleeping a nap at about 6pm, and i heard some barkings coming form the dogs, i get up as fast as i can, i didn't have my shoes on so i go over there barefoot, i try to separate the dogs but the 2 bitches where bitting my dog with all of their strenght, i hit them as hard as i can with my fist, but still they where bitting my dog, in the leg and the neck, she was fighting back but the other 2 dogs are younger, plus they where 2 so she was overpowered by them.

After 2 minutes of intense fight i hold the heads of the 2 stupid dogs and beg my mom to grab my dog and take it to the dinning room, when she was safe i let the 2 bitches go away.

My dog was bleeding really bab from the leg, easily she dropped 100ml of blood in the room, me and my sister put pressure on the wound while my mom called my father (he's a vet

), about 5 minutes of tension after i stopped the fight, my dog stopped bleeding, i let her go and she get up into one of my chairs, her favorite place back when she was in the dinning room with me.

After the battle i take a shower to remove her blood from my body, and of course wash my own wounds.

At the end i count 16 wounds on my self 5 of them are really big, the bigger is 1/2 inch in my middle finger.

I think my dog is gonna be fine, she's week for the moment, but i think she'll be just fine, but just in case i will let her sleep in the dinning room, alongside my cats.

Today they will install the bands and the inside arc, and on monday the outside arc and (i think) they will glue the metal pieces to my teeth.

Anyway its better to do it right now than regret later........

So wish me luck, i think that they will not give me any type of anesthesia (or similar

) so i guess theres almost no pain involved.

But in contrast.. on wednesday the put me some plastic pieces twen the teeth to make space, at first they dont hurt, but yesterday they hurt like a spear in your ass, and today they still hurt. And of course i can bite, so im on a liquid based diet.

It was supposed to start at 11:45, but it started at 12:00 in the church of our holy mother of peace, the ceremony was really calmed, it ended it about 1:00

Then we go to a glamour session at a not that nearby park, we took about 1 hour and then to the party

The party where in La Rivera, a really cool place in Veracruz (thats another state!), about 15 miles from tampico.

The party was so much fun, and i meet some really nice girls there

.

Everything ended at about 7:20, and i was back in tampico at 8:00

I will post the pictures next week, in the whole 8 hours i took about 400 pictures, and with only one camera battery

, thats awesome knowing that i was using a rebel xt with a 3 year old li-on battery.

The light was very good, and the sun helped me a lot in that part.

The problem started when she entered the church, i activate the flash cuz the licht wasnt that good, but i didnt noticed that the frickin flash doesnt work with ttl (the camera was a canon xt, and the flash a Minolta 220x), so the first 3 shots inside the church where overexposed, i fix this in the next shots but it was anoying that the exposure level meter was useless.

Anyway the thing inside the church was going pretty well, we where there for about 1 hour.

Outside of the church i take about 40 portraits with friends and family, thisi was extremely because the light was the same in all of the shots (almost all) and i didnt have to change the settings that fast.

About a half hour later we pack our stuff (whe where also taking video so whe carry 2 cameras and a big halogen ald hot halogen light) and make our way to the party, there where almost no people inside so we just install the equipment and go outside to wait for the guys to come in, at tha time it was about 7:40, and they where supposed to come in at 8:00.

We wait and wait, and exactly at 9:00 they arrive, the momment she comes out of the car was one of the most important moments of the night so i take a couple shots at a red car that was almost at the same distance, she comes out, i take the shot and.... sh*t, it comes out overexposed, ive made my test shot at a red car, but the bride car was gray, so all the light
rebound at the camera, well... not everything can go perfect.

The rest was a bit more easy, just portraits and some dance.

In conclusion: I really love this thing, it was my first one and not my last one, but the equipment he gave me was really frustrating, the XT was kinda hard to hold after 4 hours but i can handle that, the hing i just hated is the flash, the cheapest canon flash i could find is 250 so why he doesnt buy one?

Ill ask him so show me the pics i take so i can show them to you

So exactly 4 months since i buyed my camera (on april 24), a friend of my sister (whos a photographer) called me and just said: i hear you like photography (my sister told him

), so come to my studio tomorrow, i need help with a wedding on saturday

, and i was like: you want to hire me?, he just said: yes!, are you free on saturday?, yes! yes!, ill do it!.

So yesterday i go to his studio, he asked me a couple questions and give me the equipment ill be using, its not a super pro camera, but anyway i will not need that kinf of stuff, its a Rebel XT, its not the newest model but heck, it takes good pictures. I was expecting at least 3 lenses (Std zoom, 50 prime and long tele) but to my surprise he only gave me the std 18-55 kit lens, but anyway its fine.

Then he said ok, take the better pictures you can take of this place and show them to me, i take them and he said: Ok, thats good, now take a couple portraits of me, to test your framing. I do it and he said ok, your framing its ok, but try to put the subjet face a little more up, in the last third. I do it and he said, ok youre hired!

Now the job details: The job youll be doing its the sequence, its basicly just take random pictures in the church and in the party, its important that youre 15 minutes before the event starts, so you can make a shooting plan. Youll stay about 2 hours in the party, if you want to be there more time its on your call.

Now the payments: usually i pay 350 per event (church and about 2 hours of the party), but the minimal i pay its 300, this because sometimes people are late or that kind of stuff. You can win an extra if you are in time and you stay for longer in the party.

Place and time: The Reincarnation church, near the Plaza Flowery. The wedding starts at 6:00, but you have to be there 15 minutes earlier.

Im so excited i get this job!, ill try to do my best, and if i can ill show you a couple of the pictures!

Be cool!

At 10:00 in the morning someone walked to my dadÂ´s Chevrolet Silverado and open the trunk with a machete (something like a primitive sword) and rip of the truck radiator and battery

can you beleive it?, its fucking stupid and silly, i cant beleive someone steal a battery and a radiator from a truck!

Anyway, for the moment the truck is useless, cuz it wont satart without the battery and wont condense the gas without the radiator, well see if my dad can get one soon.

Shit DOES happen..........

It was the story of a couple anorexic girls that have entered into an special clinic called Rhodes Farm in england, the story is very heart touching and sad, but one of the most sad moments in the whole 1 hour program, is when the doctors deny a home weekend to natasha (a 12yr old), in a very unfair way.

And that girl (natasha) also says something really weird:
I think the main idea is, obviously that, you know the story is, people get anorexia because they want to be thin, and they see other people in magazines, the catwalk and you know they want to be like that, and to be honest thatÂs a really good story, so why would they want to change it?, you know , itÂs a perfect story, but, itÂs not the truth, I mean, maybe for some people it is, but I know that for me itÂs not. I didnÂt, you know, I havenÂt got anorexia because IÂve been inspired to look like other people, itÂs the image in my head, you know, I, thereÂs no one thatÂs my idol, thereÂs just an image in my head thatÂs my idol, but its not a real person

Its hard to understand it at the first moment you hear it, but after a while you can really see what this girl was saying.
Its a must see to everyone out there, and you wont be dissapointed, and maybe youll cry (pretty shure you are).

The documentary is called "Im a child anorexic", and it airs on BBC3 this next week.
To those outside UK or US, you can watch it thru YouTube:

First than anything happy valentines day to everyone!

The News!
=================================================
This week i got my tablet, is a genius mousepen 8x6, my first tablet ever.
I have been working in some drawings, theyre in my scrap galley if u wanna take a look, theyre not the best drawings ever but i deserve a chance.

maybe almiux19 will teach me how to draw soon, and maybe ill learn something (maybe, i cant promise anything)

Changing subject this weekend i saw A walk To Remember for the first time, i know its wierd given the fact that it was produced in 02 but come on, you know me.
Anyway i must say its one of the best movies ever to me, the drama was nice and the moores acting was awesome, west was kinda strange in all the movie.
And what it surprise me the most was that what we can call "love scenes" where actually just 3 or 4, most of the movie was this strange dramatic sense of tension (wtf?)
Hard to explain, you need to see it!

well i may be adding more stuff to this journal, maybe nowones wathching but ill write anyway.

I have this small line of text i figure to make, maybe its senseless but anyway here it is:

An artist live by itÂ´s audience..
A guru by itÂ´s knowledge..
A stupid one..
HeÂ´s already dead
