Truth is, that there is no better way to ruin a song you once liked than by dedicating it.

For the world it was just the day we lost a great actor; to me it was the best day of my year regardless. 

It almost resembled a massacre, but in a much lesser scale. 

One after another, then all at the same time. 

What the hell happened? How could this happen over the course of a couple days?

Did seriously anyone–but me–notice first?

Damn... 

On the brighter side, I just received a to-self Bday gift. Aint that great?

Dammit!! $10 dollars. That's all that separated me from winning that auction and getting my long-desired typewriter. If I had not hesitated and kept pushing the bid. 

Well, I guess I'll keep looking.. I may find something even better...

In response to: Marika's "Swing life away"

          Now that you're reading this, 

I must start this off by stating that you completely caught me off-guard.

I did also love the fact that you knew I would check your blog 

and you made sure the post had my name on it. 

It seems that you're really confused, 

and to be honest I never expected those words would be the 

next piece of news I would get from you. 

Although I am not familiar with what you're feeling,

I will try to understand you and give you an honest 

yet probably not very helpful advice :D!

I will not say I'll try my best, for If I do, you might end up disappointed.

     I do not know where S* is, what he is doing nor why are we using that 

specific code name when referring to him.

I just know this is, for some reason, especially hard for you. 

As I have told you before, I have never been in a relationship

In which I am completely in love with a person..... 

..Unfortunately.... Or maybe not.

Anyway, you must understand that whatever his reasons for 

travelling were, they are important to him.

And you should find comfort knowing that even in distance, he 

will miss you as much as you will miss him.

Also, it is not like he's travelling back in time or to a place where 

there is no possible way to keep in touch. Am I wrong?

Now that this has come to mind, I think it might come in handy.

 I once read somewhere that:

"One day, although further from the last time you saw him,

 it is also a day closer to the next time you will."

It was something like that xD!!..... words of wisdom... 

from a 19 year old kid xD!

     I am not scared by the fact that I turn 20,

nine days after your 18th birthday. 

I am actually quite curious.

My age will no longer be measured in -teens.. 

This is probably.... Hopefully...the start of my life. 

You should not worry about going to jail, getting admitted into 

a hospital nor turning eighteen.

You are still too young to develop a life-threatening disease, 

and too nice to become a criminal.

I am not saying it cannot happen, yet it is very unlikely.

No matter what everyone thinks, getting to this point,

is not that magnificent. At least it was not for me.

You will have time to figure out the rest of your life. 

You are not an adult yet. They may want you to,

but you are just not ready yet.

It is ok to feel sad, though. Just do not let those feelings take over.

It is exceptional that you do not want to let the past come back in.

It is a sign of maturity and determination. 

Remember that you can take control over your life.

Even if some of your dreams and hopes have vanished for x/y reason.

One day, you will hope for new things and 

you will dream new dreams and those will keep you standing.

And dear, I hope you choose to 

pursue those that make you truly happy.

     To finish, I will say that you are not alone. 

You have got family, close friends, S*,

 and even this guy who in spite of the 

distance is still willing to listen and be a friend. 

I must reciprocate, right? :DDDD! So make calls,  

write more letters, send more emails, make plans more often 

and realize that you are important to somebody.

 Love,

        Alex

P.D:      I do not know if you are going to read this later today 

        or tomorrow, but just in case we do not catch up!!

       I wish you a very happy and meaningful 18th birthday dear :D!

P.D2:      Damn.... It is amazing what I can do when I write about 

          something/someone I care about. Isn't it? Haha

         I am so proud of myself.
