Birthday Coming Up

Every year around my birthday I get a bit more thoughtful than usual.

This year is all about the things that I would like to do before I die and the things that I would like to do AGAIN before I die.....

Things that I have done and would like to do again (besides the things that I do every day like sex, sleep, eat, laugh, read, ...)

- Sky dive

- Backpack through Europe

- Attend the Paleyfest in LA

- Climb rocks 

- Sail across a wide river

- Drink champagne while watching the sunset over the Colorado river

- Ski in a snow storm

- Go up the Eiffel Tower

- Visit the Louvre

- Ski in Switzerland

- Eat some tapas with sangria in Madrid

- Drive up the "Costa del Sol" in the south of France

Things that I haven't done and would like to do ...

- Get a tattoo

- Go to The Netherlands and Sweden

- Kiss my favorite actor

- Play a part in a movie

- Finish my book

- Buy a place in Paris (and may be even move to Paris or London ...)

- Take a safari in Africa

- Go to Egypt

- Climb the Everest (well, I may be too old for that)

- Fly a plane (as a pilot)

- Take a fly in a balloon

What about you? What is that you would like to do and you haven't been able to?

More on Stupidity

I have a final today ... a final presentation for a group project at school. I tell you, I cannot believe how some people go through college and pass their classes! There are some stupid people that make it through school undeservingly. I don't mind doing someone else's job, not if that person is really trying hard to get it, and get it right. In this case, the guy I'm talking about just doesn't care and doesn't get it. No matter how politely his teammates are at letting him know that his comments are unintelligent and shallow, he just doesn't get it! I have little or no tolerance for stupidity when it is uncalled for and in the case of this guy it is very much, indeed.

Have you ever dealt with someone that you rather ignore entirely but you feel like it would be too rude to pretend you are deaf around him or her?

I mean, I'm usually pretty even when it comes to working with people of all levels. I don't care if you are a janitor or a CEO, you are a person and I value your intelligence. You can be a smart janitor and gain more of my respect that an idiot CEO would, and believe me I had a share of both. I believe that everyone is equal. Hey, everyone pees, cries, eats and sleeps.... so why would a CEO be "better" than a janitor? Not in my book, not even if the CEO pees in a gold platted toilet! Not specially that CEO, because he is probably too stupid to realize a toilet is just a toilet. 

Some stupid "famous" people that you may know...

#1 - Our former president. You got to love his incoherent moments! He had all the education, the family money, the experiences, the opportunities ... Yet, he couldn't not be stupid enough.

#2 - Browny - How stupid can you be to take a job that you are completely unqualified for and put thousands of lives in your hands and at risk.. and still pretend to be doing the best you could at your job. No way... that is absolute stupidity.

#3 - Paris Hilton - why now. She is stupid and makes a living out of it. May be we are all wrong and she is not that stupid. Nah, she is completely clueless.... money is not everything you ought to live for. Dignity should be higher in priority.

#4 - Reality TV "so-called" stars - Really? Stars? I'm not sure who is more stupid, the people that play in those shows or the ones that watch them. Come on America, you ought to grow up, TV is entertaining if it is not real, if it is real, it is probably sad!

#5 - Racists - because who told them their race is superior? 

So stupidity is not a disease but rather worse because it can be avoided. 

In my opinion, people choose to be stupid although I fail to understand why. 

Let me know what you think?

A wicked moment on a rainy day

I wrote "a wicked moment, not a weak moment" 

Today is all about STUPIDITY.

If I had to describe myself in one sentence I would say that I am a "hot blooded, soft hearted, stubborn, self centered woman". I have inherited that from a combination of Italian, Spanish, and French with a touch of German ... 

You may ask who is suited to deal with me and I may answer "anyone that is intelligent and witty enough to take in a wicked sense of humor and not feel offended by every word they hear or read". 

One thing about me.... don't take me too seriously. 

I'm only serious when I need to be. 

Yes, I have a real life but instead of crying in the corner, feeling miserable about the things I haven't accomplished yet or jealous of those that have more than I do, I enjoy every moment of every day because one day there will not be another moment to enjoy and by then it will be too late!

I woke up this morning with an itch. An itch for mind sharing, for exercising the power of my brain cells and for giving my mouth (or my fingers rather) an opportunity to express myself. 

So I started this blog with the hope that someone out there will be interested in a good honest debate about things that happen in every day life. 

I have only one weakness - much more than I want to admit to anyone - and it is not being shy to express what I think. I leave the revelation of what my weakness is for another time. For now, believe what I tell you. I'm perfect!
