Time moves slow:.

What have I found after more than a year in  Guadalajara? Excellent food, great people, and some mercenaries...


Some people know (IT) companies are looking for talent,
and take advantage by preparing for interviews and not necessarily for producing working software,
...
the result: {companies and employees} valuing money over anything else.


Are there alternatives?
Sure, but are you willing to lose your high ground?.


Running away is easy,
it's the leaving that's hard.

As heads is tails:.

It was at this age that Jesus-Christ was crucified and that Krishna died to repurchase the Karma of humanity.

Some say that Saint Joseph was also 33 years old when he took for wife the Virgin Mary. And according to some authors, it is also the age that the Antichrist will have at the time of his advent.

In the meantime, I'm just gonna sit here and watch =):.


Please allow me to introduce myself [...],
I've been around for a long, long year,
stole many a mans soul and faith

And I was round when Jesus Christ
had his moment of doubt and pain,
made damn sure that Pilate
washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you,
hope you guess my name.
But what's puzzling you
is the nature of my game. 

I got the fever for the flavour:.

Los gringos no son tan malos:..
Existen platillos de primer nivel rellenos del segundo (nivel)...

Sólo me tomó 10 años darme cuenta de esto... =):.


But we did nothing
absolutely nothing that day.
And I'll say,
what the hell am I doing drinking in LA.

Abrasive:.

Ya hace tiempo de mi último post, y la verdad es que me gusta que eso no importe demasiado =):.

Mientras tanto, uno se preocupa por pasarla bien con la persona que más quiere (por ejemplo, el objetivo del día no es terminar tareas del trabajo sino llegar a casa y que la primer acción del día ser dar un abrazo a la persona amada). No lo sé, las prioridades pueden cambiar con los años, lo que no se vale es traicionarse a si mismo por avanzar en mundos corporativos:. 

\_(ツ)_/¯

Mi pasado es solamente una buena lección:.

I've spent the last 10 years of my life traveling around the world trying to give meaning to my life. I've experienced cosmopolitan, ascetic, bohemian and rural towns. And you know what?. After all this time, I can assure you that it's not about where you are...but with whom you are while sharing this experience!!.

And why do I emhasize this?...well, I've seen too many people trying to excell by their own, just to realize that in the end it doesn't matter...it's not your (job/whatever you do) what defines you, but  whether or not you have someone to share it with...

And all of this just to say that in a few days Ingrid, my {colleague, partner, girlfriend, equal}, will join me in this experience in Guadalajara. In brief, I'm glad not just because I'm giving a new meaning to my life, but because I have someone important to share it with =):.

Y yo que siempre defendí que era una tontería,
y yo que tan decepcionado estaba del amor,
y tú llegaste a hacerme ver lo que yo no creía.

As the air grows cold:.

Recuerdo desde pequeño esos debates sobre que a los chilangos no se les aprecia mucho en el interior de la república...pero, como en muchas otras cosas, la experiencia me ha mostrado que no todo es tan sencillo como parece. Déjenme explicar.

Una de las principales críticas que siempre he escuchado de los (llamados) chilangos es que son gandallas (alguien que es abusivo y que tiene malas intenciones), y para probar si esto es exclusivo de este grupo o no, estas dos últimas semanas he interactuado con los jaliscienses haciéndoles ver (en ocasiones de manera exagerada) que no soy lugareño...

El resultado: me han cobrado mucho más por los servicios que he solicitado (transporte, limpieza y servicios en general) que lo que hubiera pagado de haber sido lugareño (contrastado con colegas del trabajo/vida diaria/foros de internet). No me he quejado, porque creo que si alguien abusa es porque tal vez necesite el dinero...pero no deja de ser interesante que de aquello que se quejan, sea lo mismo que los defina:.

Y todo esto sin discutir cómo definen por aquí a personas de otros lugares (tanto de la república como fuera del país)...por supuesto que no todos ellos, pero me ha tocado escuchar algunos comentarios un poco xenófobos...

Sin querer entrar en polémica, la gente del centro del país es mucho más incluyente...y eso me gusta =):.

Left a bag of bones
A trail of stones
For to find my way home

Between the cities, between the thrills:.

What do I think about my first days in a new city starting from scratch?...well, so far, so good!:.

I'm glad that most of my colleagues are just like me (in more than one sense). For example, most of us come from other places outside Jalisco (kudos to Guadalajara for attracting talent), we've all had a bad time trying to rent an apartment here (we're new in town, we don't know anybody!), and most importantly, we're passionate about technology and building things that matter.

I still don't know the city in detail (to be honest, I believe that the only way to truly know a city is to walk all of its streets at least once), but so far, I love the fact that I can use my scooter pretty much anywhere!.

It sure is a promising start =):.

It won't last forever,
or maybe it will.
