I Bet Clams Are Clumsy.

Tonight I saw the guy that used to be my best friend in high school. He was my best friend from ninth grade to second year of college. I really don’t know what went wrong or why he decided to stop talking to me. But It felt horrible to see him.

I was very excited to say “hi”, and when I did he didn’t show any emotion at all. He said “hi” as if I was a stranger. He didn’t even get up from his seat to give me a hug. I really wanted to hug him. I tried to set a conversation, I tried to make him talk to me, but I guess he didn’t give a fuck.

I still have great memories of our friendship and I miss having a friend like that. I was very attracted to him for a while, but that was back when I was 15. I would just like to have a friendship like that again… I miss it.

I guess I will never know what happened or what went wrong. I hope he has a good life and that he is happy. 

I have been a big fan of Adbusters for a long time. Probably like 6 to 7 years since I discovered a copy of issue #56 at Border’s. I fell in love with it instantly. This issue specifically was a made up scenario of a post-apocalyptic world where the capitalist system has crashed. It was made up of situations that could arise from that series of events, compiled in different letters from many different subjects that were expressing their singular points of views about the whole ordeal. 

I have tried to get the majority of the magazines I have been able to get. Since Borders closed, it has been different because there is nowhere else where they bring Adbusters to Puerto Rico . (Note to self: Check how I can make that happen.)

But anyhow, Adbusters promotes a “media detox”. This is a week where you try to detoxify from all that is mediated and try to stay on reality instead of the virtual reality where we currently spend most of our time. I have never done it before, but since I am trying to become a happier person, I think it is the right time to do this experiment.

I will be closing my Facebook account since tomorrow, Monday May 27, 2012. I will let you know later on how everything has been working out. Probably after I come back, because Tumblr will probably out of the picture, unless I need it for something related to school or work.

I do love my Internet. But I love my happiness more.  Studies have showed that people that consume more media, specially media that is related to being in front of a screen,are more likely to be depressed. It’s true! 

Anyway, I will be back someday! Probably sooner than later. 

have the past generations been obsessed with their past generations? Or has there been generations that used to be more atracted to the possible future generations? Has retro always been in? Or is it something just certain generations do, perhaps the one that are in more need of reaching for meaning? Is our infatuation with the past a sign of our lack of essence?

What do you think?
