Life According to Mario

As you could all have guessed this is a little analysis of life as it is from Mario's (from Super Mario World) point of view.... A picture is worth a thousand words so... here you have it.

(JUST TO CLARIFY THE WHOLE THING.... NO, I DIDN'T GOT THIS FROM THE INTERNET, NOR TOOK THE PICTURES FROM THE WEB... I DID IT ALL BY MYSELF THROUGH THE MAGIC OF EMULATORS AND PRINT SCREEN)

Mario feels like he's walking in the clouds... He's in love, everything seems to be working out in his life.





Mario: Oh What a beautiful flower! I'm going to pick it up and take it to my Princess!

But then again... In life you're always going to find something that brings you back to the ground.



Mario feels like the smallest guy in the world without his princess! But somehow he finds some courage deep in his soul and decides to rescue her!... Suddenly the hope and the dream of being with his soulmate again has transformed him and he feels like a Superhero now.



Although Mario knows it's not going to be an easy road for him... He decides to begin his journey.... Suddenly, when he wasn't expecting anything from life, a partner, a friend has come to assist him.



Mario: Oh Thank you!... everything should be easier now... I really appreciate you helping me... I would take good care of you.. I promise!!!



Mario even gave him food... He was absolutely happy with this new friend! Together they defeated a lot of enemies but they didn't seem to advance on their quest.. they had no clue of where Bowser took the princess... Yoshi was guiding Mario on the quest because he said he knew this lands very well, but that didn't seem to be true.... Suddenly, when Mario wasn't expecting it and in the worst possible moment Yoshi abandoned Mario and left him alone in a really dangerous place.



Mario: Hey wait!!! Why are you leaving me like this?? I don't understand.. you were helping me!!!

Then again, there he was, alone.... But that didn't stopped him.


Mario: It doesn't matter... I will continue my journey... I'll pass through every obstacle life puts in front me in order to rescue my Princess.

Mario even took extreme measures (Jack Bauer Style) interrogating people regarding Bowser Hideout.



After months and months of climbing, swimming, hiking, running, pursuing, interrogating, killing, torturing he finally was standing face to face with the man that put him in that situation.


Mario: Ohhh Bowser we meet at last!!! You would finally know the true meaning of vengeance!

It was a hard and long fight... at a point Mario even thought he didn't have enough strength to continue but something happened



Mario: Thank you my dear... that's the least you could do if I'm trying to help you!

Mario felt great again... that brief glimpse at her love felt like a million kisses from her... That was just the last impulse he needed to defeat Bowser...



Mario: So long sucker!!! That's what you get for messing with me... that's the last time you'll give me trouble ( Yeah right =S )

They were reunited again... Love was in the air... Everything was perfect again...



The princess gave him a kiss to thank him...



WTF?!?!?! a kiss on the cheek??? He saved you... He fought against horrible monsters... He lost some friends on the way, and that's all he gets??? Something is wrong here. But Mario didn't want to ruin the moment so he didn't say anything and they went home



Princess: You know Mario I really really need to talk to you... We'll talk at the house... I'm throwing you a party... there's someone I would like you to meet

WTF?!?!?! Doesn't this means that she cheated Mario??? And with his friend???

Mario: I don't understand... Suddenly Yoshi appears now? Was he really helping me?

When they got home Mario noticed something strange coming...



Princess: You know Mario... I'm really grateful for what you've done for me... that's why I gave you this party... but... It's a goodbye party... I've met someone... Actually I've met a lot of people and I'm in love with them and not with you.... We even have a family... I'm sure you'll understand... we could still be friends... no resentment at all right???

Ohhh... The nerve on that princess... after all he did for her... Mario was really really sad, he even thought he didn't have anything else to live for...



... But you know what? Life gave him a second chance...



and he took it.... He started a new life...



He moved away from Dinosaur Land, took a new job, joined a gym, started eating healthy..... and finally he met someone new... He met Daisy...Someone that made him feel better...

So people... When life spits you right in the face... when you loose a job, when you miss your favorite show, when your car breaks down, when you fall asleep during a great movie or even when your princess is really open minded and leaves you for a Multicultural Dinosaur Gang and has tons of babies with them... Life always gives you a second chance.... so do like Mario and take it... who knows... you may even go 3D an all.



Hope you enjoyed it!!

Agua y Cable Roadtrip

Señores, les informo que en estos momentos me dispongo nuevamente a pagar el agua y el cable. Tomando en cuenta lo sucedido una de las veces anteriores les prometo que estare atento a cualquier acontecimiento que sea importante recalcar en este blog.... Vamos a ver con que sorpresas me viene la sociedad valenciana ahora jajaja. (CONTINUA)



_____________________________________________________________________

Ok gracias a la magia de poder editar las entradas les puedo decir que ya volví.... y... bueno... ya verán.

Estaciono el carro, audífonos en los oídos (recuerdan la burbuja?).... camino hacia el kiosco de Hidrocentro, como unas 8 o 9 personas en cola.... No hay problema (BTW no me encontre a Mary Poppins versión masculina e indigente... Good start = ) )..... Sigo en la fila escuchando música... no pasa nada... pasan las canciones... no pasa nada.... derepente siento algo on my lower back, me volteo y veo a un señor MUY MUY MUY gordo (ñoño pero despues de vender ostras en cayo sombrero durante 10 años seguidos) que me estaba pegando la parte baja de su barriga en mi espalda mientrs hablaba por celular =S... decidi no pararle, quizás fue un pequeño golpe fortuito... cero peo...... Continua la cola (ya me faltaban como dos personas).... "Vuelve el Ñoño arrepentido, con su barriga intensa (8)"... me volteo y lo mirmo con cara de: "Are you talking to me???"... esta vez ya había dejado de hablar por celular y se limito a decirme: Perdon!....... bueno, ya se disculpó... cero peo.... justo cuando me toca pagar a mi llega el gordo y se pone en la taquilla a mi lado y pretendía pagar.... esta vez le pongo una cara de: " de verdad?!?!?! " y el Hijo de la gran p%$@ se ha limitado a decirme: "Ahhh disculpa.... vas a pagar?" ..... por mi mente paso solo una respuesta: "No webon!!! lo que pasa es que anoche dormi mal y amanecí con lumbago, entonces me vine para aca a Hidrocentro a hacer la cola para que un gordo como tu me masajeara la espalda!!!" sin embargo al verle el tamaño recorde que yo no era ni Batista ni Triple H ni Shawn Michaels ni Undertaker y solo me limite a decir: "claro!"... Bueno no importa, ya llegue a la taquilla... cero peo.... pago mi vaina (nunca llevo recibo cuando voy a pagar el agua, simplemente tengo el numero de cuenta anotado en el cel y cuando llego a la taquilla le paso el celular a la tipa), al final de la transacción la señorita engrapa mi factura en el recibo del señor (recuerden que el carajo atorado se puso a mi lado)... a todas estas yo le saco la grapa a la factura, le quito el recibo y pongo el recibo del señor en el mostrador.... Luego me estoy retirando hacia la Interzona y derepente escucho: "eyyyy.. psssst".... mis reflejos de regalado me hacen voltear..... a lo que encuentro a Ñoño después de la quemazón con una mirada tal cual Candy Candy haciendole ojitos a Terry.... "Gracias!!!".... ahhhh veeeeeerga.... ahora si me jodí yo.

Llego a la Interzona para pagar cable e internet.... en realidad aquí no pasó nada comico, sino algo muy triste y muy venezolano que tampoco vale la pena resaltar mucho... palabras más palabras menos... no funcionaba el punto.. no pasaba ni crédito ni débito ni cesta tickets ni etiqueticas de subway... WELCOME TO VENEZUELA!!!

Luego cuando voy caminando hacia mi carro ya para irme y estoy saliendo del estacionamiento (siii ya se lo que estan pensando... me pare afuera... pero es Patio Trigal.. que tanta diferencia hay en pararse adentro o afuera =S ).... paso caminando por la acera y voy a pasar por la rampa de entrada del estacionamiento, y justo en ese momento va subiendo un camión.... yo de atorado no podía esperarme así que decidí pasar por detrás del camión.

Mi Conciencia: "EYYYY un momento.... si este camión va a subir ahorita cuando acelere probablemente se vaya para atras"

Yo: "Tienes razón Conciencia... mejor paso como a dos metros detras de esta troja para que así no me atropelle =)"

Conciencia: "Muy bien Pocho... así me gusta, que seas responsable! Ya veras como esta decisión te traerá beneficios!"

Total... luego de este pequeño dialogo interno que me tomó aproximadamente unos 3 segundos, decido pasar separado del camión.... cuando derepente PRBROMPROBOMMMMMMMMM (no encontre una mejor forma para describir el sonido jajajaja) del tubo de escape de la troja sale producto de su maratónico esfuerzo por subir LA GRAN RAMPA una nube de humo negro parecida a "The Monster" de Lost y por supuesto quien se la trago????.... Mr Echo.... El piloto.... y Papá!!!.

En fin... ya llegué a mi casa y estoy escribiendo esta entrada. Obviamente no fue tan trágica como la pasada experiencia pero igual tuvo sus pequeños detalles. Esta vez fue 1 culpa de la gente, 1 1/2 culpa de Murphy Venezolano y media culpa mia jajaja.

Life for Dummies

Los que me conocen saben que soy fanático de las cosas que: "ya sabía pero necesitaba que alguien me las recordara". En realidad esta entrada no necesita mucha introduccion, solo les digo que son 45 lecciones que una persona de 90 años estuvo escribiendo a lo largo de su vida y dice que es la enseñanza que le quiere dejar a los demás. Definitivamente 90 años son toda una vida y debe estarlas diciendo con propiedad:

1. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.

2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.

3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone…

4. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.

5. Pay off your credit cards every month. (CONTINUA)



6. You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

7. Cry with someone. It’s more healing than crying alone.

8. It’s OK to get angry with God. He can take it.

9. Save for retirement starting with your first pay check.

10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.

11. Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present.

12. It’s OK to let your children see you cry.

13. Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about..

14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn’t be in it.

15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don’t worry; God never blinks.

16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.

17. Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.

18. Whatever doesn’t kill you really does make you stronger.

19. It’s never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.

20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don’t take no for an answer.

21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don’t save it for a special occasion, today is special.

22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.

23. Be eccentric now. Don’t wait for old age to wear purple.

24. The most important sex organ is the brain.

25.. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.

26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words ‘In five years, will this matter?’

27. Always choose life.

28. Forgive everyone everything.

29. What other people think of you is none of your business.

30. Time heals almost everything. Give time.

31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

32. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

33. Believe in miracles.

34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn’t do.

35. Don’t audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.

36. Growing old beats the alternative — dying young.

37. Your children get only one childhood.

38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.

39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.

40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d grab ours back.

41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

42. The best is yet to come.

43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

44. Yield.

45. Life isn’t tied with a bow, but it’s still a gift.

Working like a machine???

Definitivamente esta es una pregunta que muchas personas se hacen ultimamente, e inclusive, una pregunta que si no se la han hecho pues entonces muchos deberían hacersela. Yo siempre he sido fiel defensor de que uno antes de amar lo que hace, tiene que hacer lo que ama, sin embargo muchas circunstancias de nuestro entorno nos han llevado a la necesidad de tener que esperar a enamorarse de lo que uno hace o a veces hasta simplemente tener que aguantarlo a pesar de que no nos guste. El punto es que independientemente de la situación en la que alguno de ustedes pueda encontrarse tiene que tener una actitud ante la vida positiva y no permitir que esas pequeñeces opaquen su dia a dia y los hagan olvidar los pequeños momentos.... ya que como dijo Julio Borges "Por si no lo saben, de eso está hecha la vida sólo de momentos; no te pierdas el ahora.".

Para reafirmar este mensaje principal de esta entrada aquí los dejo con un comercial británico que me parece excelente ya que cumple con 4 objetivos primordiales:

1. Aborda el producto de una manera sencilla y concreta.
2. El mensaje es claro y no confunde.
3. Permite que las personas se identifiquen con el.
4. Tiene ese elemento gracioso y fácil de recordar que hace que todos hablemos de él.

"Esto ya lo sabía, pero necesitaba que alguien me lo recordara"
