So, let's recap, shall we?
-I just got home. It's currently 7:30 a.m.
-I spent the night [after midnight] at Johomar's.
-No, we did not sleep.
-I spent the whole day yesterday with him and Chris at Pame's house, where we had a blast at her family/friend gathering. A delightful and talented bunch they are! Her mom rocks it. I drank like a fishy and held it like a pirate. :)
-Pame got me the
CUTEST X-Mass gifts: Full Metal Alchemist patches and Bleach postcards.
<3 <3 <3!
-I cannot describe how awesome it was to spend a lot of time together, though Pam, Chris, and I had hung it 'round SJ all day on Friday.

As we all know:This was my 1st semester as a grad student and it was all but entirely pleasant:
I've dealt with more frustration and ambiguity than I've ever had ever since my 1st year in college.
Things are hilarious, however, for today I received my grades.
And the excitement left me in awe as follows:


NO.

I will translate an investigation of 90 pgs that I have recently reduced to 30 because I'm desperate.
And because I fear that if I don't, nothing else will be good enough.
I will not take more than the weekend, because I don't have that luxury.
My three grad papers for this semester will be worth shit. I know this.
And honestly? I could not care less.
I think it's the 1st time [ever] in which I just want to pass.
As long as I get my scholarship $ and I'm able to ask for a student loan, I'm good to go.
I couldn't care less about certain relationships either.

"See you around"?
"Hope it works out for the better"?

I arrived on Sunday at exactly 11:30 p.m.
Voyagers didn't applaud once we arrived at the airport, as it is often said that Puerto Ricans do once they're back on the island.
I'm glad they didn't; I had a nasty headache, though, in a way...I wish they had...
Perhaps that would have helped my overall hyperness, or my overwhelming feeling to just take another plane back to D.C. in a clandestine manner...
All in all, whatever have I show for my trip today...well, it'll take me days to lay out. I can say, however, I have on my sleeves endless remarks of criticism, opinionated love, and much comparatism [I have to practice right? ha.]
Currently, I'm at the UPR. I don't even know what to say bout how it feels to be back here.
To be back home---> great. Sure my room is a mess -chaos incorporated- but, it's home and it's good.
Being back at the UPR? well, I cannot say I'm disgusted...but, I guess I can say it is rather unnerving to put feet on its grounds once again. I spent two weeks without doing it and they were great.
I mean, you come HERE to get a degree (BA, MA, PhD) and be out THERE. Right?
BUT why does it feel as though once you set foot you're never getting out?
It's as though the UPR was some kind of catacomb that reaches out to haunt you, embracing you its dark wings of shadows past, spitting uncertainty at your lips and frustration on your limbs. Yes, that's exactly what the UPR is.
I have so much shit to work on and no desire to even try.
ANYWAY, as for the rest...I took awesome pixies and vids, but they're all at Raisins', since ...her pc didn't want to play and record 'em for us. She'll be sending them gradually and in filtration.
I cannot wait.

I just got off the Metro.
I had to get on the Red at Shady Grove, since that's the last stop it makes in Maryland, near James' house.
I took the Yellow, which connected with the Red at Gallery Place/Chinatown, so that I could be on my way back to Crystal City faster than if I had taken the Blue.
It's way simpler than those problem solving theorems, I swear.
Way much more fun, too.
Figuring out the Metro, I mean.
As soon as I arrived to Crystal City, I grabbed some breakfast/lunch/dinner {well, you know me and my one meal per day].
After that, I had to walk to through the Grey tunnel.
I encountered a problem, however, which I realized while I walked through the tunnel.
You see, when you travel/stay somewhere/die/etc., you have to make sure that at the very last moment you've with you everything, and at times more or less, than that with which you arrived.
Very well: before I left I checked more than twice to make sure that my forgetful frame of thought hadn't left anything at his place.
But, whilst walking, I had this overpowering presence of lacking that made my knees weak and my chest un-rejoice.
TRUST ME, I KNOW I have everything I had taken with me.
I know I do.
So then...Why do I feel as though I've left something of dire importance behind?
The one thing that, had I brought along, might make me feel as though everything was together?
And I had said..I wasn't going to cry. Ha. The insolence.

For Modernismo y Modernidad *cracks a good ol' laughter* :::
I'll probably end up working with Chateaubriand or Baudelaire [duh...just....duh!]. What exactly? I'll make it up soon. Whatever.
For Poesía Occidental *sighs wonderfully*:::
I really have no choice, it's a professor's given theme: Stéphane Mallermé, Paul Celan, and Lezama Lima.
What then? Apparently I'll go with the discussion of the eminent links delirium, pain, and sensuality found in the three o'them.
And last, but incredibly not the least, for my pain-in-the-ass Metafiction course *hits her head against the wall, repeatedly, for about 10 mins.*:::
Why...I'm going to be working with the mathematical use of perspective in the paintings of Vermeer and the works of M.C. Escher and demonstrate how it translates into metafictional labor of realistic representation.

This should be a post embedded with smart and catchy comments, phrases and quotes, which I can more than adequately rely on when defending a point, explaining a theory, and/or demand further speculation.
I assure you, however, this entry, won't be such a burden [not speaking so much for you, nay..but for me. Yes. That is correct.].
.Literature..Art.
I've been astounded and flabbergasted by both for as long as I can remember.
I've been in the field for one of them [I represent, they recognize...that sort of thing], as you may know, thanks to the MAPR (Museum of Art of. P.R.).
Working at the MAPR, doing something that I've nearly come to abhor -teaching- I re-discovered the wonderful thin line that divides the "Art World" and Art. Simply put, the "art world" is created by all of those that can appreciate and rely on art as a form of expression and or/means of dealing with ennui (as ironic as that may seem). ART IS ...ART. It's the pure form, the creation, the intuitive and the sacred thought a priori external condition.
With that said, allow me to say: I live for Art, and [thankfully] I can survive in the Art World. It's not weird to me, then, that cultural affairs, inclusions, and conscience play an important role in my considerations. I enjoy gallas, I enjoy gallery openings, I enjoy high-profile biddings, and I enjoy a thorough formal analysis of pretty much any Beaux Art affair (though I HIGHLY condemn the snobbish chit-chat of connoisseurs, partly because they don't share their knowledge of art [whatever it may be], but they preach it).
Herein lies my the problematic source and existential dilemma with this "world". Art and its world have been forever linked, and I do not care to perish for the second.
I have a similar dilemma with literature and its world.
*sigh*
And, ever greater is my DILEMMA with people who cannot even conceive of the importance of pragmatic grasping and understanding. True, I do not want to teach, but that doesn't mean that I don't think learning and being knowledgeable isn't essential, because OMFG...IT IS. How can people want to live in a world that has produced artistic, literary, and cultural "wonders", and not WANT to understand them ALL?????? True, you might never understand them [sorry theoretical analysis, you CAN be useful, but...no], but to experience the process of creative thoughts, both rational and irrational?
No. I CANNOT conceive of a world that pays no attention poieín or verbal suicide, because I LIVE in a world of utter poieín and verbal suicide.
I understand we are all interested in different things, but to question the integrity of knowledge through languages, research, and appreciation?
Why on the Via Lactea would you do THAT???!!!
Okay. I guess what I'm trying to say is:
I DISLIKE IT WHEN PEOPLE ARE CLOSE MINDED AND LIMIT THEMSELVES TO WHAT THEY THINK THEY CAN ACHIEVE!!!
I HATE CONFORMISTS!!!
AND I ABHOR THE BELITTLEMENT OF THE CEREBELLUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And to think I was fine…
I was just browsing, as usual, and then I saw your comment [not on my page, of course]. I mean, do you remember me?
There are "platonic lovers" in the world, it is said.
Apparently, we are platonic friends.
I don’t get it.
You always seem so eager to please…you seem so nice as well. Not to forget, you carry beauty with you, as well.
I cannot deny that you helped me, many times, and for that I’ll be forever grateful.
Still, I don’t understand.
And you know…it hurts too much, so…I don’t care to, anymore.
It’s funny, how you always seemed to present me as one of your closest friends.
But I guess that’s what platonic is, right? You feel it, but it’s not necessarily there. Is it?
Because you like how I write, I can but only try to manifest what I feel through letters and phrases that which I currently beat to; letters and phrases that will still be empty once I’m done, because you won’t understand them.
They make no sense, do they?
Then again, I've always felt there's something that was left unsaid between us as friends.
I still cannot recall how much I loved you.
I don’t think I should.
Neither can I recall as to how much you cared or really listened.
That is for you to know.
I guess this is that part of the cycle when you turn around and walk away.
I guess this is the part of the cycle in which you burn pages and shed but one tear.
You always meant the world to me, somehow.
It’s weird.
Very weird…
Now, you’re not even on the outline.
I do not know how it happened.
Heh. Scratch that. I know too well, but I refuse to blame circumstances.
I miss you, and I don’t know why.
That’s the pain that swallows me whole.
I treaded on dreams,
While you held on to their hues.

I often find myself thinking, while staring at something that later becomes nothing, nothing at all.
Hands together, legs crossed.
And I am so very, very happy with things that aren't.
Truly ecstatic with things that didn't become.
...Until I acknowledge I am thinking about them in their realization.***
Other than that...Last week was hellish.
The weekend was worse.
Monday...I resurrected, somehow.
I had to work on this test during the weekend for my poetry class.
FUCKED-UPNESS ALL OVER, it was, to say the least.
In the end, I did it, and I think I got into the trip, too:
[...]
"
Se podría decir, en resumen, que el mito, trasfondo caótico e inmemorial, es el momento donde las cosas no se distinguen unas de otras; es la indistinción de lo real. El mito (que parte de la tradición oral) es la realización de la poesía. La poesía da con y supone una experiencia artística (que solamente se puede obtener con motivo de lo real), la cual da con el poema (que es la composición escrita de una experiencia artística de la poesía). El poema da entonces con lo real (que es el horizonte; es lo indiscernible en lo que desemboca la intimidad y donde la individualidad no se divisa; es lo de afuera que nos sobrecoge; lo real es a su vez: el límite, porque es aquello que marca, y lo ilimitado, porque es aquello que señala lo que está más allá), que es dado por el lenguaje (aquello en lo que incide lo real; la experiencia de lo indiscernible/lo imposible). En el centro de este proceso de creación se encuentra el “Intimus” (intimidad-que ya no pertenece al sujeto, sino al lenguaje mismo). [...]
Dice Guillén que precisamente le estaba reservado a Mallarmé el secreto de las inmensas acumulaciones exigidas por el movimiento del verso o por las penetraciones de la estrofa. Para sobreponerse en su obra a la fugitividad del momento, Mallarmé une las inexistentes articulaciones del vacío junto a la sensación de los cuerpos y de los objetos, lo que hace que adquiera una forma grandiosa y trágica, como visto en la sucesión de su trabajo poético. En Un coup de dés se intenta el avance y el retroceso de los timbres y la colocación espacial del poema en la jerarquía de las constelaciones. [...]
Mallarmé pone a prueba lo real y abisma en el lenguaje. Hay un campo semántico de la negatividad en todas las palabras que pone en perspectiva el sentido del poema. Dos palabras “le maître” y “le nom” están ligadas en término de imagen y ponen en relación aquello que ordena y manda. Por otra parte, el azar (lo que se adivina) de este poema tiene de trasfondo el caos de lo incalculable del azar. Es esto el sostén del delirio: la deconstrucción del “yo”. El lenguaje no significa nada, más allá del deseo de significar algo... [...]
But it won't be enough
NOT ONE ANSWER will be enough.
My presentation went amazingly well, however. I'm still finding that a tad bit too hard to believe.

I have this thing, you see....
I'm not the epitome of intellectualism..but I'm also not so far down the drain:
I'm extremely clumsy, but I'm kind.
I'm pretty chaotic in thoughts, but I can articulate them well.
I'm extremely demanding, but that's because I give.
I can be pretty self-indulging, but that's because I've been through plenty.
I'm extremely hyper, but I'm extremely sad, but I'm extremely happy, but I'm...Me.
Many times, however, I am forgetful and oblivious.
I've noticed that being forgetful can get you in a lot of trouble, due to the details you cannot recall [dates, names, numbers, places, etc].
Being oblivious, however, can cause destruction:
Not noticing what you've done in taking somebody's heart and squashing it, while gently looking at the remaining pieces in your hand...
Not knowing what it is for a person to completely open up to you, and taking it lightly, just because "it's me, and that's how it is".
I ABHOR understanding in stages.
...I read our very last conversation, today. I had kept it. I had forgotten I had it.
I am no longer oblivious as to what really happened,
but you'll never know, will you?
You are a little box that closed itself from whatever I did and/or could irradiate.
And the crevices that are left on your sides are meant for you to breathe.
I only wish to tell you that I'm sorry,
and also that I loved you.
I still do,
and that's why we never talked.
There's no evil in company,
and neither is there substitute for a monster that cries.

I make myself sick when I feel like this.
It’s not even a knot in the stomach, no…
It’s a knot on the neck…
It’s a knot on the neck, especially in the back, that somehow composes itself and grows until it reaches the extremities of the cerebellum.
I sure as hell do not feel the pain, but it’s pressure that I abhor.
Pressure caused by uncertainty
and discontent.
See, I have this thing: I’ve always reveled in the FACT that I CANNOT conform.
I’m sure I once shared, “I’d rather die than conform.” And, you’d blame that on a youngster’s idealist pragmatism, wouldn’t you? If you do, we’ve got a problem, because I still feel that way, and I’m not as incredibly naive as I was when I said that.
At times I look around and feel as though there’s only a part of me that remains stuck, for, as my mind can tell and my eyes can see, and my heart can miss a beat, I’m just not here anymore.
And if so, where am I exactly?
Everywhere…
Everywhere I’ve ever wanted to be.
I walk around the streets of every city in Europe and, a times, I breathe the scents of sweet geraniums and linger among Spanish moss. How can you produce such melancholy for places you haven’t visited yet? How can you want to disembowel fibers of yourself, just because you're not there?
With every year that passes by I feel as though I grow weaker in spirit just because I’m far away…so very far, but far from where? I don’t belong here. Surely, my dad holds my all of my love, and my bother all of my precious memories, but, I do not belong here.
What or who on this place or the ether did I separate from that I miss ever so eagerly that makes me want to crawl into the earth and stay there to stop it from hurting?
Looking through windows where trees unfold does not make it better, either.
I cannot pretend that “this is exactly what I want to be doing”, because, truth of the matter is, it’s not.
And I wish I could change it today or at least in the morrow,
but I fear that won't be the case.
I fear I might die before I do.
I fear I’ll remain,
Though remaining would bring death by itself.
Perhaps, I should be sleeping still.

I've always wanted to arrive at the airport -last minute, but not quite, with a lil' bag of necessary amenities- and hop on a plane, literally, just hop on it: do it . In my mind, yes, that would be quite the adventure. In real life, however -boo! booooo!!!!!-::: I'd need proper baggage and insurance, and plenty of money, for emergencies and what not.
I should be sleeping, but, once again, my mind seems to have wandered off. Funny: I had wanted to go to NY with somebody during the summer, and couldn't. The amount of $ that I had then is not too different to the amount I own atm. What has changed is that, if I was to make that trip during X-mas, I'd have several companions...AND no need to spend cash on hotels/hostels. Some other good news? Ticket prices haven't changed much since June.
Seems AWESOME, right?
Perhaps.
The only problem is that I need ALL the $ that I HAVE atm in order to pay my tuition this semester. And I have nooo idea as to HOW I'll pay my tuition the next one. I fear that even if I did work I couldn't provide 1/4 of it.
How can you be impulsive when paper gets in the way?
I'm going to have to get my act together and actually work on assignments both on weekdays AND weekends *shivers*, so that I have time to go to WORK AND GET PAID....which I reaaaaally, reaaaaaaaaally didn't want to have to do this semester.
Meh. NY or not, I was gonna have to work, anyway...I guess. Might as well get some vacation in X-mass for it.
I should just marry a Persian prince. Heh. If only that dream would come true.
