Last night I couldn't sleep well. The same stomachache attacking once again and I ran out of Omeprazol.
Besides my broken heart (that influences too), I'm a fucking bipolar guy.
- Like my father! -told me a friend this morning when I told her about it.
- No, not really. This is something that all happens in just one day. For a couple of hours I feel like if nothing were impossible, a kind of "king of the world", and after, I fall into a deep silent sadness.
- My father takes pills to "normalize" himself. Maybe you should go to a shrink.
- No, no, no. After all, I like it. This is how life it's supposed to be. I don't want to be normal all the time. I like my mood swings.
I have an idea.
A big one.
But I don't want to say nothing about it, yet. It's something I thought about, while being in Barcelona.
And yesterday, while driving, I've found the name for the project.
I hope I do it.

Correct me all of you lazy people!
Pedro,
It's the first time I am ever posting a comment in any of your blogs (even though, I've been sort of stalking you... let's say for a year and a half).
I guess you've been bloody* gifted to write and it can be taken for sure you can achieve greater improvements if you take a writing workshop of something like that (yet I'm not sure if you have been already part of that stuff... as your command of timing, tension unfolding and stories resolutions shows)
So I'll be here showing up from time to time. Despite I'm not quite good in writing, since I learned English by myself, here are some tips:
1. If you want to honour your European heritage, use the British idiom and rules of writing: bloody and not fucking for cursing, theaTRE and not theaTER, prograMME and not program, honOUR and not honor, and so
2. pains use the tag -ache linked to the part of the body you are referring to: you had an stomachache
3. Nouns for nationalities are written in upper case: English, Finnish, Spanish (not english, finnish, spanish)
4. This can be too much, but your omeprazol stash was empty or you ran out of omeprazol
5. You like your mood swings, which is clearet than your like for your ups and downs
That's for now.
All the best
Andres
pucha...no tengo ganas de pensar en inglés. Asi que te posteó en spanish no má...
Pa empezar...buen título el de abajo...Feoh...y publicidad de que era esa? ricoh?
Y con respecto a estos up and down...a mi me pasa algo parecido. No creo q sea pa ir a un psiquiatra ni a un psicólogo, porque son sólo estados, en que el bajón no me dura tanto.. y además creo que me sirve. He aprendido que extraño el down cuando pasa mucho tiempo en que no lo tengo. Y lo extraño porque cuando estoy en ese estado me dan ganas de hacer cosas, me pongo má creativa. Y eso me gusta N. Aunque claro está, hay que tener un equilibrio, no podi estar melancólica too el rato. Por ejemplo ahora estoy así y ando con unas ganas de escribir insaciables...por eso sorry si abuso de este post.
Hay una cosa que no entiendo y que he leido en varios post que te han dejado en tus diferentes blog...son esos comentario de que "Pedro, te leo hace mucho, pero esta es primera vez que te escribo...y bla bla...", me pregunto por qué se les hacia tan difícil...porque lo mejor que tiene este blog ( o tú) es que contai cosas que te hacen super cercano...incluso tus vivencias en egipto se hacían cercanas, porque uno se identificaba con lo que escribias. Osea me refiero por ejemplo con lo que te pasó con las tipas en la micro, etc.
El punto es...que es dificil no dejarte un comentario.
eso.
ya, saludos.
se me olvido algo..j
a ti que te gustan las fotos...date una vuelta por flickr, hay fotos increibles.
te dejo el mio. No tengo fotos increibles pero...podis partir navegando.

pd: esa en la que sales corriendo en spain es muy buena, parece de peli.
ya, ahora si que no te ocupo ma post.
chau
"I hope I do it..."
Me too.
Blue.
HOLAS!!!
tendre que aplicarme con mi ingles, trataré que el proximo post que te escriba sea en un ingles decente. En todo caso, me encanto la idea... así todos practicamos.
Besines
wow!
Nice comment, the one that Mr. Andres Palma wrote... Finally somebody that really understood the meaning of this blog!
Actually, I found some "little" mistakes too, but I don't feel comfortable yet correcting you. I'm sorry... I hope to feel comfortable someday. And that depends on you.
I don't agree with Andrés with the "british way"... I prefer American, at least for writing.. maybe talking the other one sounds better, but certainly, maybe you want to keep your "european heritage"...
Whatever, sorry I took this long to comment about your post:
Maybe you won't believe this, or you won't like it, but despite I don't know you in person, and "virtually", almost nothing, I had noticed your bipolarity.
I don't want you to imagine things were they aren't, but the other day I had a dream, that had something to do with you, and with your particular characteristic you tell here.
Do you remember the very first comment I left you? I keep thinking the same.
Bye P
N.
PS: you look pretty handsome on that pic at the airport. Had to say it.
I've been reading you for a long time like Mr. Palma and I'm glad you are finally home and with the people that loves you. I haven't read you in weeks so this is new to me. I'm in the United States now and going home tomorrow and as a fan of this country and as someone who studied in a british school in Concepcion and as an almost english teacher.....i'm telling you, don't listen to Mr. Palma and write whatever you want jajajajjaa british or american influenced.... it's same bullshit jajajjaa the important thing is that you learn how to write and improve your english and in the end you can choose which slang you like better either american or british......i use both jajajajaja
So keep up the good work honey, because your english is excellent :)
Nat
jajajaja Pedro... you probably won't learn english with this blog.... but MEN, you will have your own FUN CLUB......
tha's for sure.
I don't agree with Mr. palma, still prefer Theater, Fuck.. and what's the time instead of What time is it?
One last thing... your last frase: "I hope I do it".
Fells like you miss something... like "I hope I could get it done some day"... or something... it maybe correct, but sounds odd to me...
Would you mind people stop referring to me as Mr. Palma? ;-)
I'm not that old to deserve that!
It felt like I was aging rapidly...
You started it all "Mr. Palma" jajajajaaja i was just trying to be polite...i think that is what British people do or dont they "Mr. Palma"??? jajaja
Nat
mira Pedro Pineda o Bineda como kieras si querias complicarme la vida te agradesco el blog nuevo ajajajajaja no mentira ... por suerte entiendo el ingles pero mi miedo a escribirlo o hablarlo y pensar que toy hablando peor que un indio me supera asique cuando logre superar ese miedo mis post serán en ingles ok???? por el momento mandame un omeprazol toy en las mismas
Saludos nos vemos en algun carrete y sino por aca nu mas ;)
Nat,
No, they do not do it at all! Please do not mix politeness with stiffness
Cheers
;-)
jajajajaja Good one Mr. Palma!!
Sorry Mr. Palma... since you are a journalist, like myself... I think from now you culd be just Andrés the journalist...
I still preffer american english though...
BR
hola pedro!
que divertido que uses el blog para aprender. y que bueno que Mr palma te corrija. porque no es mi intencion hacerlo.
yo tuve vertigo y lo disfrutaba. hasta que un dia, estaba muy mareada y me cai en el pasillo. fue ahi cuando mi mamá decidió quitarmelo a punta de cinarizina y exámenes como el octavo par. me cago la onda.
asiuqe si te gusta tu bipolaridad, go on. es mi unico consejo.
besos
Fran
chh... menos mal que no te posteban tantas Natalias.
ja!
N.
sí...
sí leí.

Nice to meet you!
I envy you! You have travelled a lot. I would like to do it but I don't have enought vacations.
By the way, your pictures are amaizing.
sorry, my English sucks and my teacher probably will cry with this shit (my words not yours).
see you
Valeria
Ay Bedro Bineda, sorry, no le hago pa ná al ingles.Culpa de mis resistencias terribles que me quedan de un pasado de ultrona antiyanki.(debo reconocer que de eso me queda mucho)
Ni siquiera me esfuerzo. Por ti querido lo haría, pero coincide con feroces tiempos laborales. Así que cuando tenga unos tiempos más calmos, paso leo, traduzco. Me imagino que en otro idioma serás igual de entretenido
Me excuso, por no poder ayudarle a aprender.
Suerte en su practica idiomática.
Hola!!
About the post called "Feoh"... I think it should say "AT the airport the day I came back", doesn't it?
Silla!
