The book of you

My greedy fingers,

tenderly stroking, carefully caressing

delineate the seashell cover

After ( Read more... )

I found this piece of an article about the endorphins that work on our brain when we fall in love, the conclusions and theories that the writer makes are interesting and, having studied about the effects of drugs that release endorphins in the brain, I can say that possibly most of what is written there is right, althought there is one point I ( Read more... )

This subject has been going around in my head for a while, and now that I have had some time to process it, I wanted to put my observations of human nature in writing, so I could come back to it whenever.

Today I turned 31.... wow, I kinda feel weird, I think this is the moment when you realize that you have entered a whole new decade in your life. This past year was really good, I think a learned many life lessons and I gained good friends along the way, and most importantly, I found a wonderful girl with whom I can share many things and be happy ( Read more... )

Now this guy has been together with Teresa (my roommate) for more than 5 years, and now that he's making his big move to this country I was thinking that he's finally gonna make the move and propose, but I certainly ( Read more... )

I was sitting at a table during lunch time with Adrian and Carmen in a Chipotle, Adrian was sitting in front of me and we were chatting and ( Read more... )
