Mi Amigo Hace Videos

    Uno de mis mejores amigos es comediante y actor.  Ha aparecido en obras de teatro, programas de radio y televisión a nivel local, además da clases y trabaja para entidades benéficas.  Pero su encomienda más reciente es adentrarse y explorar el vasto mundo de YouTube.  Recientemente ha comenzado a hacer videos de YouTube seriamente.  Trato de ayudarlo y apoyarlo en todas sus encomiendas, ya que es como un hermano para mi.  Así que este post es un poco de promoción para su video, tratando de ganarle tracción a su página de YouTube,¡ mis disculpas a los que no les gustan esas cosas!  Pero tenemos que apoyar a nuestras amistades, ¿o me equivoco?

     Anoche publicó un video en el que la aquí presente hace una muy corta aparición.  ha estado en los medios locales por años, pero como no soy fanática del "spotlight", nunca he querido aparecer en ninguno de sus videos.  Pero para este, digamos que me cogió con la guardia baja.  Estaba mayormente dormida, tarde en la noche (después de media noche) cuando me lo pidió.  Tramposo que es.  El video es un "unboxing" de las cajas de colección de Funko y Marvel Collectors Corps.  Si les gusta el video siéntase en la libertad de ver sus otros videos, suscribirse y compartir, deje sus comentarios tanto aquí en el blog como en el video.

     Sin más preámbulo, les comparto el video.

My Friend Makes Videos

     One of my best friends is a comedian and an actor.  He has appeared in plays, radio and tv shows at a local level, he also teaches and works for charities.  But his most recent endeavor is foraging and exploring the vast world of YouTube.  He started making YouTube videos seriously recently.  I try to help him and cheer him on in his endeavors, his like a brother to me.  So, this post is a bit of shameless promotion for his video, trying to get traction to his YouTube page, sorry for that guys!  But we have to be there for our friends, don't we?

       Last nigh he published a video in which yours truly makes a very short appearance.  He's been in the local media for years, but I hate the spotlight, so I've never agreed to appear in anything.  But for this one, let's say he kind of got me off guard.  I was mostly asleep, late at night (past midnight) when I got his request.  Sneaky of him.  It's an unboxing of the Funko and Marvel collaboration bimonthly boxes filled with collector's items.   I have to warn you, the video is in Spanish, but you don't let that stop you from watching, either way you can see the items he unboxes.  If you do speak Spanish, enjoy this one and feel free to check out his other videos.   Here's the video I've been talking about.  Enjoy!

The Comeback

     It's been quite a while since I was last here.  I could come up with 765,329 excuses for my absence, but all I'm gonna say is that life happens.  I do have to admit, it's good to be back.  I do love writing and this is one of the best mediums to do it.  I was looking through all my previous posts, and I have to say, I'm not ashamed at all.  You know the feeling I'm aiming to describe, when you go back and look at your Facebook, Myspace, Twitter posts from more than 5 years ago and you think to yourself how different you are now and how the heck did you come to write that.  I don't get that from what I've posted here.  I read those and travelled back to that  time, also made me realize how much I have grown and changed, but at the same time how, at the core, I'm still the same.  So, I've changed, but I'm also the same.  I've improved with age, evolved, as I said before, grown.

     So, here's my proposal to you, I'm going to try my best to write at least once a week.  Same as before, about anything and everything, not one thing in particular (life, news, politics, tv shows, movies, music, etc).  Why do I set out to do this?  Because it's been missing from my life.  I LOVE to write.  It is therapeutic for me, keeps me sane and grounded.  Also, with the hope that someday, somewhere someone reads some of this stuff and feels identified and knows that he/she/it is not alone, that someone else has been through something similar before and came through it, was able to get to the other side.  Feel free to reach out for whatever reason you want. I am here.

A Beautiful Sunset

Because sometimes, great entertainment is free.  The other day I was strolling along the beach, and couldn't help myself; I had to take some pictures.  I thought I should share with the world.  These Pictures were taken in Puerto Rico.  Enjoy! 

I almost forgot to mention, except for two of them, all of these pictures were taken with my phone, an iPhone 4S.  The other two were taken with a BlackBerry Torch. :D

This one was taken with a Blackberry by my brother.

From under the bridge.

                   

Another one from under the bridge

I love how the sky looks in this picture.
There are a lot more, and some of the best ones after the jump!!

New music! Fun.: Carry On (Audio)

I just listened to this song and decided I HAD to share it with you guys. It is a great song, music wise and lyric wise. It carries a positive message that many of us do need to hear every once in a while for different reasons. So, this is me throwing out some positive vibes out into the world (we all know it is in desperate need of good things). It is called Carry On and is performed by Fun. Hope you guys enjoy!

What does it depend on?

I have said many times that you should not let your happiness depend on one person. I have also acknowledged that it is a hard thing to acomplish, since exterior factors inevitably affect our mood. But affecting does no mean determining. I have always said that your mood depends solely on the way you react to things and the way you face chalenges that are presented to you. I have found myself in a great mood these days. And I could say that it´s because good things are happening to me. And indeed they are, but also I have some bad things lurking my way. But I have decided that the good things are more important and that the bad ones will eventually sort themselves out. I have found that establishing a more personal relationship with God has filled me with peace. And I know that not all people believe in God, but most people believe in something greater than themselves or an equivalent. For us, human beings, feeling connected is a very important and fundamental factor for our emotional well being. That connection that we have a yearning for is what drives us all to have a Facebook account, or Twitter, blogger, tmblr or any other site, a telephone or cell phone, etc... It has been long provén that a group of peers is essential to our emotional well being and stability. So, since external factors do inevitably alter our mood, it´s importan to learn to dela with things and control the way our internal being deals with them. Do not be dependant on any one thing, person or group. I am a firm believer in this. Things, people and groups are ephimerous, nothing ever lasts forever, nothingñ for a long time? yeah, for a lifetime? Maybe, but not forever. Nobody is ever going to be happy all the time. Because shit happens. But when you step on shit, you just keep walking, go over to the grass and clean it off. Shit happens, but don´t let it define you. SO, what does it all depend on? What does happiness depend on? Well, this is where what I´m always saying comes in. How you feel depends on you. How and what you feel depends on the way you deal with things and the way you react towards things. So it depends on you.
