New Job?

Since the last post, things changed somehow. I stared a job as a programmer in the UAS (state university) and i’ve kept doing ownbusiness work.

Job in the UAS is quite interesing, I’m programming with PHP a professor survey for the students, I’m working 8 hours aday with 2 hours to have lunch… so it’s like a part-time-job therefore I have the whole morning to keep doing my businesses (do you thing I sound like an asshole hahah); doing my business means that I offering enterprise solutions using software and any othe kind of IT.

Last week was my first one there and people seem to be fairly nice. Most of them are married eventhought they’re funny and have that youth spirit.

Now uncertanity has gone away but I’m still doing my best to be a business guy.

Sunday’s Writing

Summer is going away here… nights begin earlier and air freshness is felt during mornings and late night, still hot during the day light. With this changes I feel that time is passing so fast… as older I am as faster I feel time past very quickly. I believe because one starts to think strategically, I mean, one start to arrange the pieces of life puzzle and see returns very late.

Finally we (my partner and me) are feeling that we almost find our first customers, I feel very excited but I also feel very nervous, uncertainty is very common in my everyday life but I’ve started to appreciate it and transform it to motivation… well I confess that I feel unmotivated sometimes but hobbies like tennis playing, going to the gym, reading, sometime dancing salsa, listening to relaxing jazz internet radio stations make me feel strong enough to keep me up.

I feel I’ve left many thinks that I shouldn’t but sometimes is necessary to do it in order to fight for dreams and stuff.

This time I wrote in a deeper proper manner, sometime I need it. :D (the word “proper” always make me recall British.

Another Mexican celebration

We’re almost celebrating another independence day in Mexico. I remember, almost a year ago, that we were planning the Mexican party combined with some kind of religious celebration with Indian cool guys. It was a weird mixed of cultures but it worked nice. Indians danced among men very closed to each other hahaha, not meaning gayness … then I heard that this very common in their country, they open a bottle of champagne and after that the party started.

I gave Mexican ribbons to every body I took my Mexican flag. We played the hymn but nobody liked it… I guess while being abroad you need to find your identity and we all need defend our nationality.

This year celebration of the independence is not gonna be as uncommon as I we did the Mexican-Swedish version. Some friends and I (or me?)… gonna visit a beach in the northern Sinaloa (my State). Departing on Monday and coming back on Tuesday… you know going out of the routine.

Finally let me give you my opinion about nationalism. To be a nationalist you don’t need to hang flags on your car or on the window of your home. You need to focus your priorities and action in order to contribute the selection, propagation, and execution of universal values applied for your country.

So, ¡Viva México!... as we used to say during this days.

Back to the Writing

I’m back on this finally. Since my last post I’ve been working hard to get customer for my firm. I haven’t gotten any of them but we’ll start on this along September. Funny things are going good, I’m playing tennis 3 times a week but I will reduce it to 2; the other 2 days I work out in the gym to get some muscles :D. I’m also going to dance salsa with my Cuban teacher and some older people, older people are some times funny. I’m also trying to learn German through www.babbel.com. Weekends are always to party… going out, drinking some beers with friends.

One the other hand I feel a bit desperate cause I don’t get enough money to spend so I have to very careful to buy only what I’m needing.

Nothing really big but at least I keep myself busy. Have good week!

Uncertainty

These days things are quite uncertain. On one side I’m strongly working to consolidate the consulting business and the support seems to be sure. But on the other side I’m applying for jobs which perhaps could get easily but, I look forward and I’m not completely convinced of them.

Last Saturday I made an exam necessary to be admitted in a master program which is offer by the college where I studied and Carnegie Mellon University. The exam what for free to I decided to make it.

Tomorrow I’ll make an exam for applying to a job. It’s gonna be a long one, 6-hour-exam. Wish me good look.

Reflection in Silence

I’m really forcing my self to write about this topic. On one hand is the pathetic feeling that wants to make something against the goddamn psychosis that goes around the city where I live but, on the other hand, is embarrassing for me be writing about this because I now that this post is gonna be read by people from maybe around the world. However, I have to say this seriously: if the government and the society of this county and countries involved cannot do anything against this we need to ask for help…

This is the situation; for several years that consumption of drugs from people has been increasing. Is well known developed countries are higher consumers than poorer countries. Following some of the basics of the supply and demand lay we can inferred that while having demand we’ll have supply. But why am I talking about this?... It’s because the US is a very attractive market for drug supplying and as you maybe imaging any kind of business with weed, cocaine, crack and these kind of shit is illegal in México or any State of the country, therefore you can imaging how big is the drug dealing business in this country.

Since the beginning of this year only my State (Sinaloa) has more than 580 people murdered, most of these people had some kind of relation with the drug dealing business. The problem is that the rest of them have been killed because they have pass from the scene of crime or they where in the garage where they were fixing their cars but they never knew they will be killed with by a stray bullet. And we; family, friends, relatives, and more are living with the psychosis of being reach by a stray bullet.

This is my so called solution:

Of course this wasn’t the finding of a scientific research nor a copy of a book. This is my judge about reducing the consequences of this social issue.

Hard Work!

I’m sittin’ on the living room of my home listening to Brazzaville songs, almost finishing the cd and resting from a hard week. The weather is quite hot on the other hand I’m not hot… yeah, now shine on your crazy diamond song is playing on the music component… I also finished a cup of tea (green stuff and chamomile) :D but it wasn’t hot cuz is not very nice drink a hot tea with 35°C.

As I wrote a couple of week ago, I’ve been making up a plan for a project in the fabrics’ retailer. These two week have been fairly tuff, working 8 to 9 hours a day, reading and learning on the day-to-day. So far, my partner is working very hard too. I believe she’s motivated as well. I learn from her everyday but I always try to find alternative solutions as a way to compare different options.

Perhaps, we’ll be presenting the plan to chairman of the company during next week. We must find the ways to convince him about the benefits of everything what we’re offering but let me tell you that I’ve been making mistakes during the development of the project plan. I guess is normal for inexperience people.
