About Me

Uugh, build a bridge and get over it.

La vida no deberia ser un viaje hacia la tumba con la intencion de llegar con buena salud y con cuerpo atractivo y bien cuidado, sino mas bien deslizarse en ella, con chocolate en una mano, vino en la otra, el cuerpo hecho polvo, totalmente desgastado y gritando, "Joder! Que paseo!"
Es que empiezo a pensar
Que el amor verdadero es tan solo el primero
Y es que empiezo a sospechar
Que los demas... son solo para olvidar.
-- Rosas, por "La Oreja de Van Gogh."

God is a DJ.
