Prologue: Liquid Life

“Tal vez porque de estar tanto solo, me voy insensibilizando..."  

(“Maybe it's because I’ve been alone for too much time that I’m losing my emotions...”)

That’s a quote from one of my older posts, supposed to be the prequel of this one. I abandoned that blog along with 90% of my hobbies because I almost failed a year on college. Almost.


And I mention that particular sentence because that is the exact statement that gives this blog a meaning.
That sentence turned out to be very true. After a major failure in the only attempt to escape from solitude in years (the girl I was trying to get got a new boyfriend… And it’s not me. I blew my chance), my brain found a good excuse to stop trying at all, and do what I do best: Nothing.


My life has always been a mess, and back then I faced a period that just exceeds my reasoning. Not too long ago, I purposely lost contact with the only good friend I had. I'm in my last year of college and I'm considering getting a place of my own (which means, at my age, a small room with a broken heater). And I'm just tired of this. I never thought that the bad moment I was living, alone and worryingly quiet, will transform into the rest of my life. 
That’s why I searched for a solution…


It was then when I discovered the wonders of this tonic called “Liquid Life”.


Made out of bread and water, this little syrup has proved that it's the best cure for... something.


I still don’t know. It hasn’t worked yet…
That's when my blog comes to play. Here I'm we're going to write down all the effects of this mysterious tonic for research purposes, and we'll see if it works at all...


Liquid Life tonic is a metaphoric idea that means that I'm trying to take life down in one go without even hesitating.
It’s my not-so-elegant attempt to get back the life that I abandoned. After a lot of time reflecting, I realized that my obsession of over thinking things has brought me all my despairs, and I've decided to battle against myself in order to make some, if any, change. What could I lose?


Also, as a way to enhance my writing skills and gain invaluable experience in what I study (all lies, I'm just bored), I'm publishing every post simultaneously in English and Spanish. I hate automatic translators, so, of course, I'll translate every post manually.


And that’s how I'm picking up all my hobbies once again, now that I've fixed my academic situation, and who'd have known? I remembered this little blog, my favorite in its era, and brought it back. Naturally, I’m going to try and enjoy at its full, so you can expect this running for many years to come.


That’s it.
To the right of this page, there are several gadgets, each one more useless than the last, but one of them show the percentage of time until I publish the next post.


So join me, fellow, in this mighty adventure while I travel trough the boundless oceans of urban waterless concrete.
I have a bad feeling about this...

I want to thank my good'ol cyber-pal Confuzion, who was, once again, eager to help me rebuild the blog layout. You rock man, Tu piedra hombre! (Joke translation, do not use that in a Spanish conversation)


Take care! Thanks for your visit!
