I am…

C.A.Margonper — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 12:59:03 +0000

…on vacations, in Germany. Thank you SO MUCH for your comments, and for saying that you miss me. I really, really enjoy when people miss me.

I don’t have access to the Internet right now, I’m using my cousin’s computer, but as soon as I get my laptop to work around here, I’ll get back to business. So, see you soon!

Destiny

C.A.Margonper — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 14:37:06 +0000

Be careful with your thoughts, they become words.
Be careful with your words, they become action.
Be careful with your actions, they become habits.
Be careful with your habits, they shape your character.
Be careful with your character, it controls your destiny.

Indifference

C.A.Margonper — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 14:15:25 +0000

The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference.
The opposite of art is not ugliness, it’s indifference.
The opposite of faith is not heresy, it’s indifference.
And the opposite of life is not death, it’s indifference.

(Elie Wiesel)

The reality of life

Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.

Bodies & Souls

We are not bodies with souls. We are souls with bodies.

For high She lives

C.A.Margonper — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 21:40:38 +0000

To be great, be entire.
Do not exaggerate nor exclude anything from yourself.
Be everything in each thing,
put all that you are
in the minimal that you do.
That way in every lake,
the Moon all shines,
for high She lives.

(Fernando Pessoa)

What about me?

C.A.Margonper — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 21:23:08 +0000

So, here are five more things about me:

21 - I adore Garfield.

22 - I love almonds.

23 - I never buy a movie or a live music DVD unless I’m sure to see it at least ten times. Otherwise, I’ll just rent it.

24 - I dislike physical exercise. Ok, I hate doing physical exercise. I only do it because I like it even less when I don’t do it.

25 - I hate clutter. Accumulated stuff. Things in a mess. I can’t even work if I know there’s a bunch of dishes to wash in the kitchen.
