This is it
all the effort I did last year
all the changes
all the battles
have all been for this year
it was all preparation.
For the first time I began writing in English
i mean, these verses
poetry, crap
whatever you want to call it
since I had always done that in Castilian and Portuguese
For the first time I took my finances seriously
for the first time I got separated, for real
and this year my divorce will be final
finally (that was so hard, still is, since I will forever care for her)
New apartment in Lake Union
I move in tomorrow
Heck, I even have a new dentist
also new glasses (coming soon)
but more than that
a new perspective in life
Now I am free
I feel free
getting rid of all those bags
all those memories
all the past
now I'm ready to move on
and tomorrow it's a brand new day
oh, yeah, I work tomorrow too
and that rocks
I love my job
and it's awesome to make a difference
...and it pays the bills too
No more yesterdays
now it's all about tomorrows
about right now
and all I can think to celebrate
is, well, to start by saying it
and by:
quitting smoking, taking photography lessons, getting certified as mcse in server 2003, taking a journalism course, upgrading my messaging certification to 2003, working out (already signed up for the gym), drinking less pop and more water, buying Starbucks stock (you think???), no, go less, much less to Starbucks, getting Comcast (fuck DSL), already got vista and office and ...yes, an 80gb iPod, eat paella, pimp my ride, losing the extra weight, upgrading to core 2 duo, paying old bills, read all Thompson and Kerouac, going to Mexico to see Jorge, Marco, Monica, Ana Laura, Kains, Alfredo, Mayra, Eric, Tao, Grillo, Paton, Barbarita Merkel, Daga, Arturo, Diana de mi corazon, Andres, Charlotte, Alex (yup, you, Alex Rico), Manolator, Roberto Tapia, The Boldo's, Suomi Santy, Cachirulo, Jorma, Grischa y Monica, Pierdant, Fili, Pocahontas, Huguito Barbosa, Desiree and if you know Karla Viridiana's and Gina Peralta's numbers I'd love to see them.
But above all, this year I want to move to my own condo.
Any trip somewhere else? errrr, I plea the 5th
I also wish to see all of YOUR wishes come true.

Very ambitious, Pablo. But we cannot accomplish unless we begin and sometimes fail. I wish you strength and joy in this new year. As for me, my only resolution is to keep on smiling because it has been long in coming.

Do you need a photography model?
My wish is to be as happy on the inside as I appear on the outside.
