Keeping versed and on my feet:.

I passed the master's admission exam!!. The minimum score was 500 over 800 points and I got 661, to be honest more than I thought I would get, I guess the previous effort was worth it!!.

Now I'll have to schedule an interview with the program's headmaster and pass a programming exam to be finally admitted. There's also the monetary issue, I'll look at the options this week:.

And I'm not only among
but I invite who I want to come.

On this day we become legendary:.

Today I went back to school for my sister's graduation, needless to say all my family was really proud of her. Being this our third graduation ceremony we already knew what to expect, nonetheless that moment when you finally pick up your diploma is still special, that's the real thing!!. Tomorrow we'll attend a fancy management-graduates' party, I'm refusing to wear a suit, but to be honest I don't think I can bear family pressure:.

It won't be till tomorrow that I know the exam results...

From the streets of the league
From an eight to a key
But you graduate when you make it up in the streets

Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl:.

I can't really remember the last time I went to a circus, maybe it was back in Sain Alto Zacatecas, but that was at least 10 years ago, or maybe that time when my little sister took a picture with some Rugrats motleys...I'm not sure, but today I went with Nati and my parents to a little circus and I really enjoyed it, but that wasn't all, once the show was over we bought some delicious tacos al pastor and ate them back at home, trust me, so little things compare to pleasures like this!!:.

Go Barça!!:.





But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate,
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.

It's how I'm programmed to function:.

I came to Texcoco just after I finished the master's admission exam and I'll stay here till next Thursday, my sister's graduation day!!:..that same day I'll know whether or not I passed the exam, let us hope I do:.

Today I went back to the amazing Teotihuacan, back to the origins!!:...though truth be told I'm more of a Tezcutzingo fan, long life to Texcoco!!::.

But it doesn't matter cause I'm packing plastic
And that's what makes my life so fucking fantastic.

Open up my eager eyes:.

Special attention is urgently needed in the cognitive exercises!!:.

And now, for something completely outrageous:





And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all.

The teenage queen, the loaded gun:.

Spotify has finally recognized that I'm not accessing through a valid country and the 14 days countdown has begun, time to find another european proxy to make the hack!!:.

Tomorrow I'll take the practice exam for Saturday's real thing. A good chance to identify those areas that I need to focus on a last chance review. Just for the record, today I solved the narration exercises, with awful results. But let me tell you that some of them were biased, they tend to prefer a northern-use of the language, what we in the DF call norteño style:.

The good old days, the honest man.
The restless heart, the promised land.

Change came in disguise of revelation:.

Today I finished the preparation course for the master's exam and I have to admit that I really enjoyed it. We couldn't cover the whole material but I think the basis are pretty damn good, cuban teachers really know their stuff!!:.

But we still fear what we don't know
The mind is poisoned.

Pretending he just doesn't see?:.

Today I had my world shocked by some mathematical truths!. I know the concepts are not nuclear science or anything like that, but it's just that this sensation of getting to understand something that you once did mechanical, without fulling understanding what was happening, is amazing.

As some of you probably did, yesterday I tested the new search engine Wolfram|Alpha, and I have to say that some of the results are pretty amazing. Take for example this one, http://bit.ly/BCMT4, wisdom at its maximum!. In its current version it ain't really a Google's rival, but it certainly is something to follow:.

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

Que esto es un paseo como los de antes:.

Yesterday I ate the most delicious Cochinita Pibil!!. Details like this make you appreciate family weekends, one of the things I really missed for a couple of years:.

Deja que la duda que hay en tu mente no pregunte
y que no se clave, que ni siquiera hable
y que se muera solo por esta vez.

When nobody's watching:.

Today my family met my brother's girlfriend family and despite some odds it wasn't awkward at all, in fact I think we had a great time, considering it was our first time together.

I couldn't find the time to carry on the exam preparation today, but I promise tomorrow will be different!!:.

With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've known.

Una mano me ha valido:.

Today I went to a familiarization course for the exam that I'll take next week. It was OK, not particularly good, but the interesting part will take place once we start with Mathematics!!:.

Si salgo corriendo,
tú me agarras por el cuello
y si no te escucho, Grita!

Was the be all and end all:.

I'm finally back to freedom!!. Today I went back to the office to give them back the computer and all that, I signed the renounce papers and also told them about the things they can improve, the motivations for my decision and I think it all went right, without bad feelings or anything like that. I'm glad for the way things worked out, now I'm ready to move on:.

I almost forgot, I'm Spotify-enabled again, awesome!!:.

I had seen, I had touched,
I had tasted and I truly believed

Sleight of hand and twist of fate:.

This I had posted before, but it's perfect for the occasion:.




See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you

U2

Common passed on this beat:.

I've communicated my renounce, and now it's just a matter of time before I'm free again!!:.

Last week's traffic was nothing compared to what I've suffered these days, I mean, three hours stuck in traffic is not only insane, it's heartless. But at least I try to read some books during the journey. Now I'm reading about Calculus, though I have to admit that the approach used to explain the concepts is not very appealing to me, talking about economics, human resources and stuff like that. This is because this is one of my sister's books, but it's OK as long as you remember that this is just another way to see the world!!:.

Now everything I'm not, made me everything I am.
damn, here we go again.

I'm free to be whatever I:.

For the second time in my lifetime I'll have to finish something that defines a part of what I am, in the hope that what comes later will make be get closer to what I really want. The first time I didn't do it the way it should; too rough, in a rush and without consulting those whose opinion I appreciated the most. But I truly believe in learning from your mistakes, and this time will be different. I know the consequences and I'm prepared to face them:..

Whatever I choose
And I'll sing the blues if I want.

Far beyond the reaches of the shadows:.

Today was my grandmother's birthday and we celebrated having a family meal, a really good meal by the way. My gift to her was a Chet Baker's compound, and she really liked it!. Continuing with this jazz mood, yesterday I went to have dinner with my brother and his girlfriend to a little jazz bar, and I was very pleased with it...great music, good food and near to my grandparents' house, what a terrific combination!!:.

Tomorrow I'll rock my mother's day with my gift to her, the Manzanero - Big Band Jazz de México album. I listened to it at Mixup the other day and it made me change my original decision, a Flamenco album. I really hope she likes it:.

So say I walk alone, barefoot
on wicked stone tonight
Will you leap to follow?

Kiss those days goodbye:.

This week hasn't been as productive as I hoped. I blame it on traffic, it's insane to spend more than four hours a day stuck in Periferico!!. And not only that but also the fact that once you get to your destination you're in such a bad mood that you're not eager to do anything mind-consuming for a while. At least I'm not required to do anything complex at work, just to write some documents and nonsenses like that, not real work like fighting against the world with the latest specification at your side!!:.but soon enough I'll be doing that myself:.

Even if I've changed, that's alright
Can I be healed?
Be healed.

De estación a estación:.

Almost four hours lost in traffic, it's insane!!. But not everything is lost, it gets me a chance to think on personal matters and also to listen to good music, sometimes played by the bus driver, others by the loyal Zen. For instance, today I gave another chance to the Oreja de Van Gogh's last album, and on second thoughts it's really good. It's meant to be played traveling across the Periferico on a Wednesday night, give it a try:.

Visca Barcelona!!:...Visca la mare que els va parir!!:..encara hi ha esperança:.

Si fuera especial, si fuera de revista
Tendría el valor de cruzar el vagón
Y preguntarte quién eres.

Have I lost my faith in you?:.

I shouldn't have doubted the Head First approach for today my eyes were opened again!!. Physics concepts are getting into my head, and this time I think I know what's going on there, not just some rules or formulas, but a good explanation of why things act the way they do.

I know these concepts don't apply to all sorts of situations, and that there are still things that we don't know for sure, but I really like that feeling of getting to understand something that a moment before seemed like a puzzle, I always say that it makes me feel there's still hope!!:.

I still believe that change can happen
Though it's hard and it happens slowly
I still believe forgiveness comes with love.

The Music:.

One of the best songs I've heard in a long time:..

Gonna use my arms:.

Man, I've been eating a lot, for real!!:..I better start doing something like walking or something of the like or else I won't fit on my old suits. There's just so many good things here that I can't resist, not that I really try though =):..

Tomorrow will be laundry-day for me. Long time no see you, washing machine, we've had our differences in the past, but I really hope we can get along this time!!:.

Got bottle, I'm gonna use it
Intention, I feel inventive

Can't say why I kept this from you:.

I have to admit that I've never been good at Physics, and this time, even with the Head First approach, I keep thinking of some concepts as dull and not particularly designed to be used outside some specific kind of problems, but maybe I just need to focus a little bit more, I'll keep trying!!:.

Here at the Estado de México the paranoia is not as high as in Mexico City, and yesterday we even went to get some ice cream, some delicious esquites and enjoy an evening right in the city center. I really like it around here:.

Visca Barcelona!!:..but the real challenge will be next Wednesday on London, that's where the real path to glory is:.

I know, what I know,
I know this last time around
I'll hear it in my head real low
