“It’s better to say you’re a bit religious rather than to say you don’t believe in god because that way people quit their bitching.”-My uncle.
Wealth
I am disgusted at how extreme wealth affects the human mindset. It leads to people who are capricious, snobby, and overall too delicate. Since they have wealth they have power and this power corrupts them. When something is not exactly how they want, it must be changed immediately. There is no room for error in their world because they see themselves as too good for it. In they’re eyes they...
Sexist oppression or a form of respect
Today I went to a party in Mexico city where I observed the typical chivalrous attitude men take towards women. I saw the men opening the doors for women, I saw the women preparing and serving food, and then when I had resigned to my simple frustration at this I saw something which made me reconsider my view on the separation of gender in Mexico and much of the world. I heard a beautiful song...

Scientific community
Just today I was in a discussion with my step sister about many topics, ranging from intelligence to religion. The most interesting discussion revealed a very common view on evolution. I argued that we have much evidence of human evolution through fossil records but she claimed that because there was the possibility of scientists tweaking skulls to fit their claims we can’t trust the...
Oh silliness..
“Hey Gustavo what’s our safety school?”
“Harvard!”
“yeaaah harvard is our safety school”
pat pat pat smug smug smug
It's true.
In soviet Russia tumblr posts you! O.o
Tarzan
I’m pretty sure the movie Tarzan is a metaphor for the negative effects of society “teaching” us how to properly behave.
Yaaay said pepe sarcastically
Good news everyone! The sun is rising as I’m about to go to sleep! At least I wont be afraid of the dark now as I go to sleep:P
Mexico city, Mexico or united states city, united...
Ive been here only a couple of days and I don’t know if im in Mexico city or the united states. I hear the same crappy pop music playing. I hear lady gaga and Katy perry. I see coca cola at every restaurant and toy story in every mall. Quite frankly, it scares me that Americanization has such a long, powerful grip. I wasn’t aware of the devastating effects it can have on a culture...
Darkphobia
So I’m afraid of the dark. There I said it. Don’t tell anyone, tumblr. Don’t reblog this followers..but yeah when I’m in a pitch black room I can almost fear the evil pulling me in with it. So shhh..
Satan baby!
Apparently I learned how to read and speak clearly at a young age so my mum says I looked like Satan in the flesh because I was really small but I could speak with a somewhat high vocabulary and speak clearly:3 that’s why if I ever have kids they learn to read and write at the age of 6 months. Scare the crap out of everyone. Gosh I’m going to be a good father:3
Different scenarios
I remember when I was a little boy I would ask myself “hmmm would time and space fall apart if I did an action I wasn’t meant to..?” and then I would stop walking or do something unexpected but them think “wait nothing happened..dammit! I didn’t do it right!” I can’t win here -_____-
Girlfriend
Having a girlfriend still seems odd. I mean sure it’s been 8 months and everything but the idea of having someone in that way still seems pretty foreign. I could be walking down the street and bam “whoa..I have a girlfriend..” Were so different too..were almost opposites except for the core things like religion(or lack there of lulz) and plans and such. It’s still pretty...
Billiard genius
My father is a billiard genius..he beat me in one turn. I mean how do you do that!? How do you get every single ball in one turn!? Billiard genius; that’s how.
My atheism and my catholic family:o
translated from Spanish to English.
“Hey, jose Mario come sit here”
sit
“I’m going to convert you into a devout catholic.”
“but I’m an atheist..I’m a good person and I’m happy so why change that?”
“well yes he’s right..”
“yeah..”
“well we know you have god inside of you and that makes you...
Death penalty(elaborated)
Death surrounds us everyday. It haunts us and what we usually fear most is an untimely death. For the most part we accept the natural order of death. We accept our elders dying but when someone we didn’t expect to die does die we are shocked. We are utterly taken aback by the seeming unfairness of it. But sometimes we condemn the murderers and claim we would never take a life. We claim it...
Death penalty and abortion
So in the car yesterday my dad, step mom and step sister started discussing abortion. It was three of them against one of me..I said that it was a womans right to decide what to do with her body and that the fetus couldn’t feel before a certain time(according to science)! But alas they were too traditionally Mexican. So then the death penalty! I argued against it, saying “how can you...
Therapy!
So yes! I went to therapy twice with two different people. The first one was pretty dumb and the second one was cool! I wanted to keep seeing the second one but my mum(no I’m not British but I just like saying mum) was pissed at her for telling me that my “eyes have an inner sadness to them. Even when you laugh it looks empty.” I guess my mum didn’t appreciate my therapist...
Sherlock holmes
Sherlock Holmes is my hero. I truly admire him for what be can do and for his genius. His beautiful deductive reasoning and genius in general are things I envy and strive for. And he’s Robert downey jr!
Existential sadness
Being in Mexico city is odd. I’m not homesick per se but I am some kind of sick. I’ve gone through horrible, horrible existential depression two nights in a row with exit music(for a film) by radiohead to give me the last miserable blow. I start thinking of my best memories and how they only exist within my memory. I remember my past friends, my past experiences, my past life and it...
Drugs!
I’ve decided to stop using drugs of all kind until college! My brain is still developing and I don’t want drugs interfering with my possible, future beautiful mind. I don’t need them anyway..
Paranoia!
So I was in the car singing frank Sinatra by cake and then BAM! I though “what if you’ve gone mad and in reality your dad, step mom and step sister are here trying to stop you singing but you’re so insane you don’t think they’re there!?” I still have the fear that all of this is some kind of dream like state or another..so yay TOK class.
It must be late..
I just realized that dashboard is also the name of a modest mouse song I like..
Everything doesn’t seem so bad..
I want to socialize but can’t..
I want to play more super Mario wii.MOAR!
I miss my pokemon yellow:/
I’m wearing socks..o.o
Oh and mgmt sounds like it did a year ago..
Rawr!
I am angry at this moment. I am back to my cynical, hateful self. Everything seems so frivolous and stupid. Happiness seemed like such an idiotic pursuit now. Instead of that I want knowledge! I want to know and yet at the same time I want to forget. I want to have truth. Not my truth but the truth which may not be possible. I also want to forget all the idiotic things I see on a day to day basis....
Happiness..
I wonder if I’ll ever be permanently happy. I wonder if there is a single person out there who is. There seems to always be something tugging at your contentment. Have it be your own hypocrisy, the evils of the world, or just never being satisfied with what you have. But there are some people who appear composed so they are I suppose. Who can really tell?
?
So what does 42 mean and is the ladder up?
Fear of sex
To begin imagine you’re in a high school class and you say the words “penis size.” What will probably happen is a whole lot of strange looks and a scorn from the teacher. The other students will probably be a bit scared and amused that you dare break the secret social contract of order and mental security. That contract is the one that makes people lie about other peoples’...
