Tinkerbell's Naked Truth

I consider myself part of what I've called "the Disney generation". When I talk to my friends many of us are really familiar to Disney's movies. Seems like we all grew up with them, from the classic ones such as, Cinderella, Bambi and Dumbo, to the most recent ones like Finding Nemo and the Incredibles. We all used to watch them and we all had a favorite character from those movies. And some, still have both of them.

I guess having a favorite movie caharacter is a "must" for every child, at least, it is for Mexican children. Mexico`s really close to the States, so the influence of all the American media is huge, but Disney's by far the media company that has influenced the most!!! Not only many of my girlfriends once dreamt 'bout being a princess, but I remember that even some guys had a theme party. One of those, in which the whole place was fully decorated with stuff related to a Disney movie or character. And when I say whole, I mean whole!!! From the basics (like the cake and plates) to the weirdest thing such as providing food in Mickey's shape. -That was really yuck, Buagh!!!-

In recent years ,I've noticed that Disney has focused itself on the development of consumer products from vintage characters like Cinderella, Belle, Ariel, Sleeping Beauty, etc. That army of skanks had raised a lot of money. And they really impact the little girls. The birthday parties are now about that. But well, even if it's not a princess, Tinkerbell has become really popular. She's even got her own empire, provided by Disney Fairies, a world full of lies and sins and where, Tinkerbell herself stands out as the nastiest character of the Disney Empire.

Disney has always done a perfect job, especially with that annoying and , unfortunately, popular Tinkerbell. Just imagine. Most girls are afraid of bugs, but with Tink, that's over. Now, girl love 'em. We all had to admit that the company has made an excellent use of that pixie dust and making that bug look like a pretty fairy, in other words, an ENORMUS HUGE LIE under the disguise of an outstanding marketing campaign.

Here are my reasons why Tinkerbell's one of the biggest lies in the fairy tale world.

1.- Tinkerbell is not a real fairy. There is no difference between Tinkerbell and any other bug. First of all, they're all insects. Annoying and disgusting. Flies carry a lot of diseases with them; so does Tinkerbell. She only fosters aesthma cases, pumps allergies up and make your eyes being damaged with that dust she's always throwing in the air, as if the air wasn't polluted enough!!!

2.- She's a big fly, just with a touch of light, really annoying. Many people would say she's more similar to a firefly, but fireflies, at least, are atractive because of their light, whereas Tinkerbell is just really disturbing, a menace for a peaceful environment. Imagine how uncomfortable would it be to be sleeping and suddenly a bug with a lot of light came through your window and make a "buzz" sound at the middle of the night. If that thing ever, ever happen. I'll immediately grab a magazine or a newspaper, roll it and knock her out instantly.

3.- Do not care about the size of the "little pixie": Tinkerball it's small, but unlike her tiny size, she's one of the greatest sluts in the world. She's the nastiest skanky fugly bitch you will see hanging around. My recommendation: avoid her when possible; if u wanna get rid of your greatest enemy, just visit the pixie hollow (NY Bronx) and as for Tink.

4.- If you are naughty girl tending to be a whore, make nothing but blaming that "fairy" about your behaviour. Yes, thanks to her "magic" many girls can now feel proud about being bitch and slut. I do not blame them, I mean, who wouldn't be influenced by the innocence of a little pixie who spreads magic dust and, at the same time, betrays who is supposed to be her best friend just because he rejected her and got a crush on other girl. A real fairy (if exist) wouldn't be like that. There are only two kind of persons that act just as Tinkberbell did: sluts and whores.

5.- Pixie Dust it's not about magic, it's all about cocaine and weed. Nothing will ever ever make you feel drowzy and provide a feel-like-flying sensation. Nothing except drugs. So, that's why the Pixie Dust is so important. Tinkerbell deals with it.

6.- Tinkerbell love is meaningless. There´s not much to say about this point. Did u just realize that Peter Pan did not even noticed her love when being with Wendy?

7.- There is nothing more dangerous than a rejected fairy. That annoying fly with a touch of light is an ideal example that the smallest people can be your biggest enemies. Peter Pan's almost killed just beacuse he rejected Tinkerbell. Nothing else.

Another reason? Real fairies bring good luck. Tink's just a bad luck magnet. Any questions? Just ask Peter about the time when Captain Hook almost kill him. By the way, real fairies, won't ever ever betray a friend. Once again ask Peter.

So, If you're one of those girls who like Tinkerbell, you should better start thinking about your likes and dislikes. Maybe, just maybe, all of those who love Tink are sluts at heart. Yes, but non stylish bitches. I'm bitch, I enjoy ruining other people life. But the difference between me and Tinkerbell it's that I don't need any dust to be a bitch, I mean, Ive got that magic within me, that make me a NATURAL BORN BITCH. And believe me, those are the nicest, coolest and most stylish bitches in the world!!! (Just kidding)

Newy, Disney's world is really complex, I guess I could dedicate an entire blog just to this kind of stuff. But such is media and mass culture.

Enjoy the magic of my pixie dust,
Isaac Garrido.

Feeling PINK!!!

Can anyone feel pink? Furthermore, have u ever felt pink? Is it possible to live pink? During the last couple of days I've been feeling kinda strange. I'm extremely happy. OK, happiness is a basic in my life. I'm always smiling, even at "hard times", I laugh at every single situation of life and basically my whole lifestyle is about having good times through happiness. I guess feeling that way it's mainly cuz all the good times I'm going through: graduation and getting the internship, both make me feel proud and, for my own surprise, really confident about myself. Once again, as always, seems that I got the last laugh. HA HA HA!!!

Being extremely happy made me ask myself: Can anyone feel pink? Yes, definetely is a yes. At least, I do feel pink. No, no, wait: I LIVE PINK!!! Many people would be saying "what the hell is this guy talking about?", "what the fuck is that crap about feeling pink" or even "living pink? That's weird". It may be weird, but for me it's all about logic.

People usually express their sadness through blue color. Just as an example, there are heaps and heaps of songs lyrics including phrases like "but I won´t feel blue", "I feel blue tonight" and so on. Even people refer to sadness as 'feeling blue'. Moreover, after giving birth to their children many women go through what it's called 'babyblue' (feeling depressed after the birth of a baby), which, personally, I find really disturbing. Anyway, if sadness is related to blue color, why happiness and confidence can't be 'pink'?

Pink's a cool vibrant color, it can cheer any person up and represents everything nice, from love to dreams. Pink is even the favorite color of persons I like and admire, such as Paris Hilton and Hilary Duff. And the best of all is that pink is in a lot of stuff of my favorite things list: my pink converse shoes, pink shirts, the pink cover of 'The Princess Diaries Book Series" and 'Confessions of an Heiress (Paris Hilton's Book), my pink cap, the Van's slip on checker shoes, the cover of Madonna`s latest album, etc.

So, if that color is applied to a lot of cool stuff, it can also be a good feeling, a whole lifestyle. When your life is defined by color, you can feel yellow (when you're mellow and cuz of sorrow), red (when a lot of rage), and even you're green when ur a teen. But pink is by far the coolest way to express your feelings, it goes almost with everything, but sadness. Many people think that pink's just for girls, or nowadays that it's a 'gay' color. And, indeed it is. But who cares? Living pink is about happiness, joy and everything nice. (Well, Pink, the singer its not that nice, but at least she's cool, so it's ok for her to use pink).

Anyway, I guess there should be one of those silly tests that are commonly on teen mags, if so I'd call it"When you feel pink test", "Living PINK for dummies" or something crappy like that. If so, i'd include the following recommendation.

. Feeling pink it's mainly a life attitude than just a moment. Try not to feel pink, instead live PINK.
. Only cool, nice and special people feel and live pink. So, if ur one of those persons that usually feels blue. FUCK OFF or go to your nearest drug dealer and get some prozac.
. Show the world you live pink. Happiness and joy it's mainly about yourself, but this world its really chaotic and sometimes drives people nuts, so give a little hand. Dare to express you're feeling pink, always with style. Go and buy a Lacoste pink polo shirt and walk in the streets, if u cant afford it remember that shoplifting is always a good way to solve problems (just kidding, never ever do that, shoplifting is for people with no money and no style). If u are happy enough, grab something pink and go out.
. Pink is not a feeling nor a color just for girls. Actually, pink looks and feels much better on boys. Even girls find guys who wear/feel pink, hotter, whereas gay people know that a straight guy who wears or feel pink is more confident than those bi or metrosexual people that try to hide who they really are.
. Great companies, such as Nintendo, Apple or Nokia, know that pink, if well exploited, is a good way of raising sales. Just look at the special Nintendo DS editon that was launched at Japan. Have a pink gadget with you. Carrying a pink cellphone or iPod will provide you a chic touch and it will pump up your pink feeling
. Classic and chic stuff is pink. Cotton candy, strawberry milkshake and bubblegum. Try one of these whenever you can, it will keep you child at heart. Even if living pink its personal stuff, do not feel embarassed to show people you live pink
. Do wear light pink. Pink reminds us of innocence, even if you're a slut. People will think you're cute when wearing pink, even if ur wearing a mini see-through skirt that lets all the guys see the person within.
. If u got a vintage car, turn it pink. Lightning McQueen from the movie cars, would have been a really champion if it was pink.
. If you feel pink enough to follow some of these rules, you're making a good way to accomplish a PINK lifestyle. If you do feel happy, but not enough to make one of these things move your ass out of this world.

So, feeling and living pink its real. Give yourself a chance and try it. Anyone deserves the opportunity to make life a little easier. If you think this is all rubbish. Well, stop reading it and continue with your black and shameless life.

Lotsa LOVE,
your pink friend.

From now on, in english language

¡¡¡HELLO!!! Well, eventhough I've just posted a couple of thoughts in my blog. I felt kinda happy, when Sim Miao, a Malasian girl I met in New Zealand, showed up some interest in reading my blog, at least in a language she could understand.

When I came up with the idea of blogging I considered making it both in spanish and english language, but as some people know, I'm always looking for perfection and I thought it'd be sort of messy. One day in english, other in spanish and so on (thanks lord my french is really basic and that i donno any other tongue). I really wanted that my foreign friends could know much more about myself, so... from now on It will be all in English.

The people I really care about in Mexico are intelligent enough to understand english, otherway they won't be my friends (lol, ha ha ha), and if they don´t understand that, should I give a damn fuck???

Anyway, hope that all my friends: Wei, Ruthie, Peta, Sim Miao, Dedé, Keren, Mikey, Ong, Jenny, David and Patrick take a little of their busy time (thats specially for u Peta) grab the keyboard and drop some lines after reading some of my stuff. I'd also like that some of the Mexican cool people I know do the same, so we can keep on the same vibe, that's it: GOOD and COOL VIBE!!!

Lotsa Love.

"Me gustaría tener...", "¡Qué suerte tiene!" La aspiracionalidad popular

Tener metas, aspiraciones y sueños es algo sumamente agradable. En lo particular, considero tener metas, anhelos y plantearse objetivos como algo de lo más admirable del ser humano en general. Convivo perfectamente con la idea de nunca dejar de buscar ser más. Resalto esta última idea, pues, además de que la gente me tacha de materialista y superficial, a nivel personal creo que el deseo por ciertas cosas meramente materiales (no se incluyen CD's, playeras, libros ni nada que pueda obtenerse con unos cuantas semanas de ahorro) es parte de una realización más profunda que, aunque involucra aspectos materiales, trasciende más allá de ese simple plano, sobre todo cuando tener cual o tal cosa requiere de un reto personal, por ejemplo: una casa, un auto o algún gadget, cosas que tus padres no pueden comprarte de un día para otro, y que sí requieren de desvelos enteros durante tu desempeño en algún empleo.

Toco el tema de la aspiracionalidad, porque me parece atractivo, pero más aún en el mexicano. Es bastante común que después de platicar sobre el éxito profesional o económico de una persona no falta el sujeto que suspira e inmediatamente baja la mirada, diciendo (meláncolicamente): "¡Ay, qué suerte la de ese wey!, ¡Ojalá me pasará lo mismo!, ¡Qué envidia me da, pero de la buena!. Peor aún, he sido testigo de cómo esa frase emana de los labios de un profesionista. ¡¡¡Sì!!! Weyes y viejas de mi rango de edad que teniendo cierta preparación se denigran a sí mismos mediante el uso de esa clase de expresiones.

En principio de cuentas, la envidia, hasta donde sé, sólo es una y moralmente mala. Sin embargo, lo importante es la manera en que el mexicano exterioriza su sentir frente a la idea del éxito de otros, actitud que denomino "proyección del anhelo útopico". Lo limito a una proyección, porque el mexicano promedio es la clase de persona que, al saber del éxito de otros, no es capaz de generar una motivación que lleve a lograr algo similar por medio de un esfuerzo propio. Por el contrario, sólo expresa cuán desafortunado es con un tono de gusto por la otra persona, pero a la vez con una minimización de sí mismo, la cual se deja notar con una disminución del tono de voz cuando dice frases como: "Ojalá fuera tan suertudo como ese cabrón", "Pinche we, no mames, que suerte tiene", etc. Actitud a la que se suman una serie de elementos expresivos no verbales como suspiros y brazos cruzados, mismos que brindan refuerzo a una frustración por alcanzar una meta por mérito propio. Porporcionando así una interminable oportunidad de canalizar los posibles motivadores (que llevarían al éxito) hacía la vida de otros. O sea, un mero sueño.

De ahí que en el léxico popular palabras, frases y canciones que involucran la idea de los sueños sean sumamente exitosas. "No dejes jamás de soñar: se gana y se pierde en la vida", "Persigue tus sueños", "Lucha por tus sueños", "Mi sueño es..." en fin podría nunca acabar. Y es que para el mexicano un sueño es la aplicación de esa función cognoscitiva de la parte inconciente del cerebro a toda su vida, una especie de virtualidad que justifica la admiración banal del otro. Por ello, no ocuparía la palabra sueño en su acepción de meta o anhelo como cualquier otra palabra, al menos no después de saber que formo parte del colectivo social mexicano.

En otras culturas "soñar" es plantear objetivos y metas cuantificadas bajo un lapso de tiempo determinado, de modo tal, que se puedan ver concretamente y a partir de ellas generar más. El mexicano, por su parte, sueña y sueña pero simplemente se dedica admirar sin hacer nada por ello. "Follow your dreams" en otras culturas equivale a ser proactivo para alcanzar metas, aquí eso es sínonimo de echarte a contemplar lo que otros logran a la vez que lloras y te lamentas por tu aparente incapacidad de superación.

Hablando del mexicano promedio no resulta extraño. Lo verdaderamente curioso radica en el sector universitario que, contando con cierto conocimiento que supuestamente lo pone en una mejor situación al resto de la población, es síntoma de ese síndrome consecuencia de la proyección del anhelo útopico. Una parálisis que los deja como imbéciles cuando frente a ellos tienen la oportunidad de lograr ciertas cosas.

Es claro que los "sueños" a veces surgen espontaneamente, pero no así la posibilidad de alcanzarlos. En lo personal "sueño" mucho y más cuando tengo la firme intención de desarrollarme profesionalmente en la industria del entretenimiento, un mundo que en sí en un sueño.

Ya he dicho que soy distinto y, muy pesar de que mucha de mis canciones pop favoritas hablan de los sueños, la diferencia entre la manera en que sueño es que no me limito a admirar, sino a trabajar sobre ellos, a darme cuenta de que si Paris Hilton puede crear su propia sello discográfico y moldearse así misma como una estrella pop, yo haré una maestría en Music Industry para crear a alguien mucho más chingona que ella.

Creo que nuevamente mucha gente discrepa de mi manera "cruel" y "malinchista"de ver las cosas, pero que se le puede hacer, es paradójico, pero soy un soñador conciente. (Para los que se quejen de la sintaxis de conciente. Es conciente porque se refiere al estado de la actividad mental y procesos congoscitivos sobre los cuales tenemos conocimiento. Consciente se refiere a una acepción filosófica de dicho estado de actividad mental.)

Los ama,
