The other day I kind of exploded, in the good sense of the word, don't get me wrong. I didn't even raise my voice, but I could not keep quiet during that talk... People were talking about being proud of being Venezuelan.
The nerve of some people!
No, really, honestly speaking I do realize that there might be people all around the world that get a sense of pride out of being squeezed out of someone in a specific part of the map. I have never understood that feeling. Why? Simple, it is not your accomplishment. In my opinion, in order to be proud of something, you must first achieve something; that's what gives you braging rights over the deed.... Like finishing Dark Souls without taking a single hit! Congratulations to the dude that accomplished that, he managed to not have a life.
But back to the point at hand. Even taking into consideration what I just said, I understand that some people might be proud of the country they were born somehow. Take Germany, they were devastated after the war and now they are a pretty kick ass country; so is Japan, pretty much every Scandinavian countries, and many other countries that are, well, kick ass. Granted, no one is perfect, but what have this country, my country, ever done in the past... idk... 50 years?
There was a time when this was an awesome place, a tropical paradise of sorts, and then it went to shit. Why? Mainly corruption, but I'm sure there are other factors involved. Back in the 50's we had a inflation rate that was under 2%, we even were at a -1.7% at some point... Last year we had a 108.7%... Ooooh, I feel a spark of nationalism in me!
We have now no fucking water, no fucking electricity, blackouts are common, there are places in the country where you don't get water service in weeks.... But to speak out of what I know. My town has a huge lake... we have no water treatment plants. Why? We basically depend on one single power plant for the entire country, that worked fantastically until population grew evidently; apparently the people in charge of the country never thought about population growth, a basic concept for us gamers... Want more Zealots? YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS!
I could go on... but I wont... I'll just tell you the same thing I told my parents. This county only merit in the past 20 years (in that span of time we've had 2 coups, by the way), has been the exporting of the brightest minds this country have seen. The numbers are around 1.5 million Venezuelan living somewhere else, that's what Venezuela, as a country has accomplished in my time.
That's not something to be proud of.
No song tonight.

Yeah... Deapool post...
"Hey, Guaji, long time no see! What brings you here?"
I saw Deadpool yesterday - or as my friend so cleverly named it "Skullpoopl" ....... WhatsApp emoji joke, You had to "be there" I guess.
Anyhow....
Going into the movie I knew the movie was gonna rock, I had no doubts about it. But honestly, it went far beyond my expectations. The hype was big, the movie was bigger! Which is fucking unbelievable, given the fact that this movie had one of the most awesome advertizing campaigns I've seen.
Let's go at it step by step.
First and foremost: the script.
Flawless. Abso-fucking-lutely flawless, it's very well written. All the jokes, references, cameos, nods, whatever... Raynolds went as far as to say there are more than 100 of those in the movie. Everything Perfectly done. The plot's a bit weak, yes, but hey... It's a superhero movie, and featuring Deadpool, what did you expect? That's like saying that Mad Max: Fury Road it's a bad movie because it's plot... It's not about the plot when it comes to movies like Deadpool. It's about being.... well... read the fucking comics!
Second: direction.
Oh so very awesome. The movie actually starts in media res; and through, not one, but several, flashbacks they let you catch up. Seriously, very nicely done! Very good shots and sequences, the action was great, choreographies were fucking awesome (They had the same guy as Marvel's Daredevil... The Netflix series, not the crappy movie), and the music was from the guy that did Fury Road! Fuck! How do you make such an awesome movie with so little money? By being brilliants, that's how.
Third: actors.
Raynolds fucking killed it. That guy's fucking funny on it's own; and in my opinion, just like there's only one guy able to play Wolverine, and only ONE Tony Stark... There's only one Wade Wilson. Think of that hunter he played on Blade, that guy was Deadpool before he even was cast as Deadpool. Other than him, no really big performances, but as far as I can tell, and from what I've read, the characters are true to the comic version of themselves. So while no big performances, I gotta give to the actor that respected the comic and fucking acted like they should and not make, say for example, a stupid angsty teenager out of a dude that only thinks about eating and fighting... Yeah... that meant you, Dragon Ball Evolution.
To wrap it up, guys, this is a fucking amazing movie, guys. Go watch it... over and over again! Really. You know that saying "Shit just hit the fan"? Well Deadpool took a big dump, threw it on the fan and everyone, every-fucking-one, got sprayed. They even make fun of the fact that they only had a $58 million budget, which is fucking nothing, compared to the $200 million that Days of Future Past had; even the first X-Men movie, why back in 2000 had a bigger budget!! My only wish is that, not only FOX, but everyone learn from this. Big risks bring great rewards... all you have to do is make things the right way.... People is tired of shit like Twilight and 50 Shades of bad movie... bring back the good old raw movies like Fight Club, and The Devil's Advocate, and The Crow, and Seven, and Matrix, and American History X, and so on and so forth..... yeah... we know... you're in the making money business, and making a E rated movie brings more money; but give something back once in awhile, yes? If you do not, Deadpool WILL make fun of you in the sequel.

Instead of fancy...
This year's been really shitty.
REALLY shitty.
There's been some good things though, like my friends always being around. They are always a plus to any situation, and I mean any situation.
ANY situation.
But even though there's been good things, even though I love my friends to death, I do not feel like writing something all cool and fancy about this years. I show my love to everyone that deserves it on a daily basis anyways, and since I've nothing nice to say about you, 2015, I just won't write something fancy. So, instead of fancy, I will tell a joke.
Recently I pulled a prank on someone I know and she swore revenge... Not a big deal right? Wrong! The joke got out of hand and now I'm a bit paranoid, to tell the truth. This is serious business, man! This chick you don't know; or maybe you do, and you understand why I'm a bit paranoid with this whole thing.
The thing is that I had a dream a couple of nights ago, a bunch of friends where at someone's place watching a movie. So I was sitting on the floor, watching whatever movie we were supposed to be watching telling jokes as usual and then I feel someone grabs my hand, oh so gently. I turn around to see who's holding my hand, I mean, I felt like someone was trying to get my attention really badly. It's her... With a smile on her face... She looks at me for a moment and then softly says:
REALLY shitty.

And I woke up with that face.
Anyhow, I hope you all have a happy new year and may 2016 be not as shitty as my 2015.

We won... ?
So yeah... Election day... I believed, as strongly as my mother beliefs in wooden idols, that the PSUV would "win", even if it was 51%/49%. Why? 3 simple reasons:
1.- This is fucking Venezuela.
2.- I have it on good authority that the Armed Forces have backed the government when it has rigged elections before.
3.- I have worked on a voting center, and the numbers given out by CNE did not match those we sent them.
So you might see why I thought that going to vote was a waste of my time. Don't get me wrong, I have voted each and every time that there's been an election, I just feel like it wont matter at all, since elections are rigged. But to my surprise, we won... and not by a mere 51%/49%... It was a colossal butt fuck. So I am happy, just as you are; but let's be clear now in one simple thing: this maybe the best thing that has happened to Chavismo ever since fucking Chavez.
Why? The ball's on our court now. Drop it, you motherfuckers, and heads will roll as they rolled on 2002. Now is the time to do things right, because if you screw up, they can point their fingers and say "See? We're not the bad guys!" and people WILL believe them. Besides, you cannot begin a fucking witch hunt, Catholic Church style, and not expect people to get angry.
"Fuck you, Guaji, we are no longer a minority! Times for head to roll!"
Oh yeah? Then you are just as bad as the ones you're criticising.
"What?!"
You heard me. You think you're better than them, then show it. Lead by example. And fucking acknowledge that even if Chavismo is a minority, they still pose a "threat". Not to mention that the Armed Forces might turn on the Opposition if they so please.
Such is the way of this country. Does it need to change? Yes, of course. But that change needs to come step by step, carefully, They need to plan stuff and build the foundations in which the new country needs to be built.
And one final thing people... stop worshiping politicians! You're not supposed to like them, they are supposed to run a country for you! If the manager of a company if running the company down you fire the guy... WHOEVER THAT GUY MIGHT BE! I am part of the opposition. Why? Because I'm with Lopez or Capriles? Fuck no! It's because I don't like the ones in charge, and if Lopez or Capriles fuck up, I will be against them too, and so should you.

The Problem.
You see, "the problem" is not the problem; "the problem" is your attitude towards the problem.
When you find someone that has a different opinion than yours about anything, and the thing cannot be settled via an objective source, people can agree to disagree. And even is there is an objective way, you can also agree to disagree. Lemme give you an example to better explain myself.
My bro and I are both football fans, that kind of guys that will even cry if their team wins or loses an important match; the only thing is, he's an England fan, I'm a Germany fan. If you ask us which team is better, we are not going to agree on that, because the answer it's going to be based on what we love... He's gonna say that The Three Lions roar harder and I'll say that The Nationalmannschaft is better in every way; so we would need an objective way to settle this. Germany has 4 World Cups and 3 Euro Cups while England only has 1 World Cup... Germany is better, right? Well my bro will say no... AND IT'S OK! We can agree to disagree, like grown ups.
"The problems" rises when the whole agreeing to disagree thing falls apart.
And how does it fall apart? When one of the parties involved fails to acknowledge the right that the other party has to disagree. That creates a problem and the "offended" party then won't let go. They can't! For that party, the other guy is wrong! IS as simple as that, but that simplicity prevents them from seeing a simple truth....They can disagree and go on about with their lives.
Then "the problem" gets bigger.
Because if people can't agree to disagree they will begin to give the matter too much importance. Every little detail will become an offense. Every little thing will be judged, oh so harshly. Every joke would be like an insult.
Has this happened to me?
Of course, why do you think I'm writing about it? I like to live my life in the most relaxed way possible. Why complicate myself with shit when I know that A.- Life is hard, B.-Life is harder on my country and C.- Nothing good ever came from living so stressed that you then can't see the forest for the trees. And that IS "the problem"; people that are intense like that, complicated like that, can't let go like that... They, well... they bore me... They annoy me eventually. Because why take a stupid FB comment and turn it into what it's not? Why take something someone says or do and judge that with self righteous fury without even question why that person said or did that? It's bothersome man, childish even, it's stupid... universally stupid.
What should you do about it?
Beats me. I don't know and this is not about me trying to tell you what to do. Who do you think I am, one of those Cyber-Nietzsche motherfuckers? I just wanna leave this here for future references, so that I can say that you KNOW all of the above and all of the following shit: A.- I do not like to be judged, B.- I do not like people being intense and fucking up my cool, C.- I will always agree to disagree (otherwise I would fuck up my cool), and D.- As of right now: Monday, November the 2nd 2015, 5:19pm local time, my coffee mug is empty and I need a refill.

A Long Time Ago...
... In a blog not that far away... I was a hater.
You know, it's not that it bothers me, but I have had a couple of people said to me "I like it that you are so full of hate when you write, it makes it fun to read!" and, hey cool! I mean, I want you to have fun while you're here, really.... But I am not full of hate, actually... Those that have talked to me WHILE ranting know what hate is. What you get here is a toned down version of that, because... come on... this is the internet after all. True, in the internet nobody knows your a dog, but I do not want to be offensive either. So, really, I tone it down. I used to be more forward when it came to writing in my old blog, and I wanna give you a taste of it... this is a post from back when I first had a stalker.
This Pisses me Off, Part IV
No blondie, this one isn't about you; although it is about a girl.
There is this wacko at school that I met, idk, like 2 years ago or so... the fact is that she dug around so she could meet me; fine, lots of people do that, not only out-of-their-mind girls. Every time we spoke I realized more and more that this girl had issues, and since I grew fond of her I tried to help out as much as I could... and that's when all turn wrong. She had never tasted alcohol, and when she began drinking... she was unable to stop... so what do you get when you cross a drunk girl with issues with a cellphone with "habla pegao'"? You don't know? I'll tell you: A FUCKING CALL AT 3 AM IN THE MORNING FROM THE DRUNK GIRL WITH ISSUES!! Yeah, that's what you get... but since she is so nice it's not like she called just once to check in... no no, SHE CALLED EVERY TIME SHE GOT DRUNK!! And, just for the fun of it, how often do you think she got drunk? EVERY FUCKING WEEKEND!! And she kept calling no matter what!
But I don't care, I'm fine, I'm cooooooool baby... Until the day that Olgi answered my cell phone and told her to stop calling; she got pissed and on the next day she starts fighting and yelling and all because "I shouldn't have let Ogli pick up my phone"... that did it, there, in that exact moment, I lost my cool... And now she knows where she can shove her cellphone.
Guess what? Now she is left alone, everyone got tired of her. I pity her, but I can't do shit; why?
1.- Because of principles
2.- There is nothing that I've not already tried, this girl just isn't logical.
And on top of that, yesterday at 2:30am or so she called me, drunk I assume, but I didn't have a good reception and the call was lost.
Why do I trouble myself telling you this children? So you learn from me... when you realize that someone you know is a wacko, tell Olgi to pick up your phone.... now I'm off, I can't leave you lyrics because I have a wireless mouse and it just ran out of battery.... so... see ya!... or something like it.
Now, I want you to know that was not edited in any way, save for a couple of typos I corrected; but I didn't even bothered with making it clear that Olgi is a friend of mine. And, hey, that was not me at my best (or my worst), actually I used that blog to deal with my anger issues... But like I said, I do not want to be offensive. Not anymore I mean.
Join me next time! Maybe I can tell you about the second time I had a wacko on my tail.
What say you?
