How open can it be

There's a situation at school right now. We (we speak as we even though it is only me who's writing) decided to become an option for the student council of my career, architecture. I don't know, at first it looked like a great idea.
Now, it's happening exactly what I didn't wanted to happen and I thought wouldn't happen because of the fact that we are not longer in high school, so we should be acting like college students, I mean, come on!, I am 25 almost 26 years old.

Well IAM was supposed to be open, now you tell me how is it that openness has room in a competition where you have to chose either one side. I know the openness is on the fact that you can choose to be IAM, but forcing people to choose goes strictly against our common phrase, it's no longer "because I choose to" now is "because I have to choose one, I might choose you, in fact, I just choose to obey"

Everybody is doing a lot of things, I decided I rather think than do, I don't even write that much...

greetings.

it's not about time, it's about economics

Sometimes I feel so frustrated for not sharing the thoughts of the jedi academy, but five minutes later I realize that when I spoke about many personal and different interests, I was speaking just about this. It's not time, it's about economics, I just finished my reading of a series of six chapters of www.funkybusiness.com, and yes, economics do matter, but what matter the most is the behavior (not only of the economics, but of the market, the people and the world itself). I know you can pin point every wired person by his activities, and now after this text I realize that at the same time the all/organization and the net makes us more free than ever, it also makes our choices on life, our patterns and our behavior most transparent to the world, we become predictable as a specie at the moment that you fill your entire database more and more and more with data of people all over the world, I mean, if a 73.4% of the 25 years male architecture student in the world (and by world I mean wired world) use to buy smlxl, there is a big big chance that I sometime end up buying it, isn't it. I'm not talking about loosing our choosing ability (it's all about choosing Neo) but by people knowing what is the most possible choice we take.

We can't interfere with the world, we can't interfere with time (at least not braking it, maybe bending it and changing the way we understand it), so, what can we do???, if anybody ever reads this, please tell me.

Finally with a PVD hit as soundtrack of this moment, I say goodbye for now....

pinche blog

hoy estoy de malas, pues mi decisión de darle un poco mas de chiste a este pedo, poniendo atención en lo que escribo, haciendo mis estúpidas cartas de presentación y "personalizando" una playera se ven manchadas porque este pinche blog no funciona, o por lo menos, no ha presentado lo que publiqué ayer, no se si es porque cambié algo a lo pendejo en SETTINGS o qu ehice, pero bueno, ahorita mismo lo voy a checar.

Presentation

It's about one in the morning and I just finished my first attempt of a presentation card (that's the direct translation from Spanish, sorry) and I realized that as a s.o. member, I don't need, and I don't have an address, at least not physical, so this is gonna be my address, hello new home, and you know something, I'm starting to believe, spending time with ARS is doing a lot of good for my health, my mental health at least....
The breeding is about to begin, the (non) planning time is over, is time to be born, re/born... yo soy IAM

we live in a beautiful world,..... Yes we Do, yes we Do

Thoughts just happened

Yesterday was my mom's birthday, also was the day I was supposed to deliver a project for a 90 meters high building in one of the most important streets in my city, I did, but I didn't like it, I can't believe that the teaching "practice" at least in my school is about learning methods to do things the way things are done since, I don't know, maybe 30 years, the difference between learning how to do something in one way and learning how to learn to do things is that the second one is adaptable ( I don't know the real word in English) so I feel frustrated when trying to stop my brain from searching for new methods or new combination of methods instead of respecting the usual way, I don't wanna be that way, and I know I'm not just a man against what is done, I'm just eager for more, and I know there is more being done nowadays in other parts of the globe, that's what makes me sad the most.

Anyways, classes over, again, I now have to prepare for the next semester (at the same time I try to help my uncle building his offices and a friend building a 3 store apartment building, very nice building he designed by the way ;)) and for being without my guide, I got to "grow up", I'm gonna miss you friend, a lot, I think I'm already missing you, and I share your words "it would be very different if we were going together, I would be very happy"

I'm not sucking on my thumb...........BONO

Long time no see

Don't exactly know what happened, I guess I just got lazy with this no?
I have this presentation on Tuesday and I'm late, my brother is in kind of some shit with my mom, and that sucks for everyone in this house, you can't work like that.

I'm trying to stay focus, I'm trying to forget the "scholarship" I'm trying to get, but I can not do that, well it's not even the most important thing in my mind by now. Why is it that I'm supposed to focus in the story of a Street, I mean, I don't give a fuck if in 1980 a monumental building was constructed 4 kilometers away (and again, I know, everything is connected, but not everything is relevant), so I'm doing work in which I don't believe right now.

Where is my jedi companion, he is the only one who gets me really excited to do something.

no lyrics today.

Again excited

Again excited, today I saw my jedi companion, and I had the chance to speak to him for about 20 minutes, that was refreshing, at least for me, lots of projects, and the promise of knowing fellow jedi padawans, maybe not personal but by his writings, I think I have already talked about him....

He told me that the matter in our search for the force is the time, no longer the space, no longer the program, and it made me think (maybe the fact that I don't always agree is the reason he finds me a point me as an aseptic) that the time may approach to the understanding we have about space, I mean, we fill the time with activities, so we do with the space; isn't that a clue to try to focus, at least for a while in the activities (program or how ever you want to call it), the same way we've lost interest in the space, and we have created interest in what happens in the space (with the difference that space is so much easy to interfiiere with), we should also take interest either on the interferences possible on time, or in the activities performed on it.

so long

nothing but blue skies from now on........CAETANO V.

No es de a huevo..

I suppose there is no obligation on writing here everyday, in fact, sometimes I think it should be the way to express good ideas, but I decided then that I can't recognize the bad from the good ideas, I have no judge skills.

Today was a lazy day, but again, I read something interesting, I'm kind of interesting on identity + branding... Because of a friend/coworker I don't know yet, and I don't know when I'm gonna meet him (her?)

What I do know is that life goes through me fast, really quick, and I'm feeeeeliiiiiiinggg goooooodddd!, today is my exgirlfriend birthday, and I also received an email from another past girlfriend from Spain, I like it.

I like it when you try to figure out the shot, the appropiate shot for the (constant) moment I'm living, I like it a lot.

Don't know the meaning of life, don't know if the process is important or the result, I think is the process, I don't find any result good enough to fight for it.

Still here, wondering how every desition taken is gonna affect my life, but trying to choose everytime I have the chance to, I choose not to choose not choosing....

good night

the first day

primera aparicion:
there are some things that motivate me a lot!!!
the thing is, I rather think that work, it´s apity you don´t get paid for that kind of "work".....

anyway...

i'm excited, I think this really can become something... I believe in iam, even do they may not believe in everybody, but you know, I think that's exactly de power of it, quoting iamDDO "there is not a general interest, there are many particular interests", and I decided today that I don't have to feel bad for not being like them, I just have to work...

I just got home for a long walk through Coyoacan, it always makes me think, I thought about appropiation strategies throughoutght the years, and why some are more effective than others, and if we (as architects or as people) should take any position about it. I think yes, we should, but we need to be understanding with those who take the opposite one; because we can't deny the fact that some of the arguments used to defend the old school are true, the thing is that the new ( or at least understood as so by us) arguments are more important nowadays.

I still do not believe in identity as a part of culture, unless culture is a particular and personal thing.....
