The Wisdom of Webcomics

I've recently read all the "Bad Machine" Saga of "Scary Go Round" webcomics and became a fan right away, at first it might look like the story of a bunch of 12 year olds, but actually the reader gets to relate to the charaters no matter the age. That's the wonderful part of it, apart from the neat illustration and the peppy English accent. 

I'm convinced that should I had been born in a different country, I would have been a Brit, the weather, the slang, the personality of its people...  my visit to England was epic, as was my visit to Ireland, (and please Irish people, I don't mean to say that you and Brits are anything alike, it's just that I relate more to Brits as I can't handle that much alcohol in me, not that it wasn't fun trying at Dublin, hehehe).

But that's beside the point, the issue here is that sometimes webcomics like these make you relate and view things in a different way, but then again some things apply the same here and on the opposite side of the world, a few years ago or today, for example, this strip was great! It's priceless, *Sigh* those old school days... (Pay special attention to panels 4 and 8)

It made me remember earlier years and even today! *sigh* Women are so complicated, but then again I can't imagine a world or my life without them or the drama they provide to life. But in a nutshell... girls... please speak your mind and don't expect us to read between the lines !!! (And Cor (( that's a Brit slang for "God" in a complaining fashion)), if you want a kiss just ask for it! It's extremely unlikely that we won't give in to the request!)

And should my girlfriend read this... um... you're not complicated luv, you're... special!?  *Runs frenetically in circles until he falls down*


P.S. I widely reccommend taking a peek at Scary Go Round, you wont be disappointed, and Bad Machine isn't the only saga.

Times like These


Today’s morning was exquisite, cloudy, partly rainy, and the areas in which there was no more rain anymore smelled like wet concrete…  That’s a good morning, a morning which always reminds me of the good times, vacation, trips, etc.

The smell of wet concrete, solitary streets and a cloudy sky can never go wrong, it will always be a perfect scenario to have a walk or stay at home watching a movie under the bed sheets or playing a good videogame, both activities accompanied by a good warm beverage, my recommendation? Earl Grey or English Breakfast with no sugar but a splash of milk (whole milk, no synthetic stuff of low fat), or in any case, a good cup of coffee.

So in conclusion, what is it about cloudy rainy days and the smell of wet concrete that makes me feel so good? Dunno but it’s quite a pick-me-up for those stressful periods of time which torment us all now and then… (and yup, that's a second reccommendation to anyone who is in need of a pick-me-up).

Welcome Back!
