¿Experience, Is it worth anything at all?
¿Vale algo la Experiencia?
Why don't we all die as in "Soylent Green"? That way, our existence will be at least worth something to the future generations. Why don't we die as in that other movie in which everybody knows beforehand that their existence will cease at exactly 35 years of age? It seems to me we are going that route already.
I can still remember my early youth days, when everything seemed so easy, I felt I could eat the whole world in a bite, or I could drink the whole ocean in a drink shot. I remember I myself was one of those who say "Please leave us, the young generation, to learn by commiting our own mistakes" while deceiving my parents and teachers as I considered them to be old minded.
Nowadays, when the time has come for me to try and share my very own life experiences, I face the very same reaction from today´s youth. Is it perhaps that we humans are never going to learn? Is it perhaps that the life cycle, the development stage, is open to youngsters only, unexperienced by definition? Is it perhaps that when a former youngster acquires life experiences will be ejected and become undesirable only because he/she is "old"?
Oh, I wish I should've paid more attention to at least one eight of my father's advice to me!

Presentation
I made it, 
I finally made it! I'm into the Blog craze at last. It took me long to decide, but I'm finally here. Let's see how it goes.
The gateway to the Alcazaba of Almería is, along with other Spaniard icons and monuments, solid proof that I have finally made my dream come true: to be in the country of my ancestors. Standing face to face in front of all these monuments has been an impressive experience to me, not only because it represents the result of many years of dreaming and illusion, but also because they represent the confirmation that there is not such a thing as an impossible dream. Anything and everything we desire in life is achievable if we get the strenght of spirit, the patience and the resolution to achieve it. I am a living proof of that.
I am but one more Mexican who, inspired by History, Tradition and desire of adventure, has decided to come and verify on my own those things I read in books, I saw in documentaries or I listened from many mouths. In the following days I will publish in this place some of my most outstanding experiences, some are good ones, some are not that much; some are excelent and other ones are frankly deceiving. You will find a little bit of everything, like in a drugstore, for since my arrival, just on October 12, 2004, I have gone through many experiences that have made me change my perspective of life definetly. My surprises have been really big; Many of my illusions have become a reality; I have suffered many deceptions too. I think everything is part of the experience of living. I hope that as I share them all with you, my friend, you would be able to use them in your advantage, or at least that they will help you in your eternal quest for having a good time.
Please, make yourself comfortable at home. Make as many comments as you wish, either good ones or bad ones. I only ask you to watch your language. I am sure we can prove ourselves we all can get along regardless of our different points of view.
