Alec's Tavern : The Frost Blast

[Defiance]

uhm nothing. A day just like any other i think i'm not even going outside this time to watch the fireworks as i'm scared as hell of those There's a russian saying that goes something like "The way you enter the new year is how the year is going to be" i know it's silly but better safe than sorry so i'm going to at least make myself look pretty and clean the house

But if the world ends in 2012 shouldn't you try to go outside? Or build a fortress? Ohh there was an article on wired.com about building a house like that, but I can't find it .

the 31 december is a special day for me, special in this way: no one is going to work the day after, and we can meet with best friends, eat and drink till late morning and stay together. it's a thing that difficutly happens on other days having my best friend and I strange working schedules, so we offently work on sunday morning

Like every year: play with fireworks, eat oliebollen and my mom's special cinnamon/apple pie, drink champagne and beer. With the family.

Nice! I hope you've a great time.

Me? On the verge of suicide, really, really fucking depressed.

Even more, my mum is sick at the hospital and will have to spend the night there. Wheeee.

Guten Rutsch everyone! Best of luck to all of you/us.

Hugs and kisses.

Me? I'm starting fucking depressed (d'oh) because of obvious reasons and because I just found out that the Moonspell gig has been cancelled.

Great fucking way to start the new year.

i just woke up.... yawn

Defiance if you feel like you're on the verge of suicide then you should talk to someone that can help you. I know we're all friends here, but I don't think there's anything we can say to make you feel better.

QFT.

You seem to be a great guy with tons of things to do and smart enough to not be drowned on this. Even if I'm not friend of doctors - since I never get ill - I strongly recommend you to look for a specialist. I'm not sure how good is your relationship with your family but it's very important that you can trust this with them to support you.

Look, the past year started the worst way possible: I broke up the night of 31/12 - just before the day ended. I had a gig for that night and I went to the venue but 'twas closed until 01:30. The fireworks started and I was all alone in a square looking to the sky, sad as heaven, crying. I was unemployed and now left behind... but, you know? the 2010 year fucking ruled after that: at the end of January I found a job, then I got some fine goodies, at the middle of the year I released an album with a band, found a singer for my main project, played a lot live, in September I finally moved out from home to Santiago to live alone, in October I got a new job which is absolutely wonderful and finally in November I knew/met my - current -Gf that's the best thing that happened to me, 'la guinda de la torta' to end an incredible year.

Sometimes shit happens, but what comes after that is great. Like Bob Marley said: Get up, Stand up, don't give up the fight!

Thanks guys. As you said, I'm a smart guy. I'm also quite bipolar, so I do feel I sometimes want to kill myself. I did try to do so when I was in highschool, having no friends takes a toll on you.

The scientific Daniel, as I call him, won. I don't think I would have killed myself because I like to believe it'd make a lot of people sad. And I want to get a lot of Phds/academic degrees. I came to the conclusion that suicide was not an option, even if I'm fucking depressed; at least it's not a smart option.

I spent the night with my very best friend, whom I love dearly, and talked a lot.

I came to the conclusion that I'm not ready to let my former girlfriend go, and that I will fight for her. As Mr Marley said, "don't give up the fight".

Time heals most wounds, at least partially. So I decided to give it some time, give her, and give myself time. But I won't give her up that easily. I sent her an e-mail with a song (you probably know which, last one I posted), so she, at least, knows how I feel.

I'm sorry if I scared some of you here, as the forum is certainly not the best place to say those things. We're all friends here (as Kazaum said), so I apologise if any of you felt anguished due to my previous posts. I'm deeply sorry.


Ooooooonto the New Year then!

2011 will be a weird year for me, I just hope everything works out. If not, let's see what happens. I'll present my second master's thesis (holy crap just realised that), and I'm sure it'll be much better than the previous rubbish I presented in my first M.A. (not my fault, though. You can be smart, but there's so much you can do when there's no one to guide you.). I just hope I can get access to some academic articles from the Universidad de Alicante. There hasn't been much written on my topic ("teen lit."), so I need to get those articles.

Guten Rutsch alles!

Went to the shrink yesterday, 'twas an interesting experience. He seems much more prepared than the psychologist I visited (a waste of money, no doubt about it). Got some pills that make me feel weird, but I should be used to them in a couple of days.

hey defiance i have a question for you, what's the difference between the spanish in the latin countries and spain? i mean, the spanish talked in uruguay is exactly the same in costa rica and bolivia and chile? and spain?

Mind if I ask which? I'm on a lot of pills for medical, not psychiatric reasons, but a few of them are used for psychiatric reasons also. If you're new to them, I might have some advice regarding how to take them (as in, what foods make 'em come down nice, whether or not you can booze with them, and how much, etc).

He's a linguist so he'll have a better answer than I do, but basically depending on each country, you'll have a different Spanish, but it's roughly the same for middle / upper class Spanish speakers. In some parts of Central America you get a lot of Indian language + Spanish mixes, some places in the Andes also. The Caribbean varies per island, Puerto Ricans probably having the most slanged, Anglicized and ugly Spanish. Dominicans have a nice sort of... I want to say musical Spanish. Cubans speak kind of like Puerto Ricans, less slanged and far less Anglicisms (unless they're exiles). Some Mexican Spanish can be tough, particularly more rural Indian types.

Chile and Argentina have their own particular dialect, but I find it easy to understand. Then again I'm Puerto Rican, so I don't think they speak Spanish as fucked up as ours anywhere but Mexico. Colombians and Venezuelans, in my experience, have the most widely intelligible Spanish.

In Spain I find their Spanish is mostly understandable. I think Colombians speak my favorite Spanish, if I could make a hierarchy of the best Spanish speakers.
