Quiero
Quiero llorar y no encuentro como.
Quiero irme lejos y no se hacia donde.
Quiero salir y ya estoy afuera.
Que carajo quiero me puedes explicar?
Quiero matar pero no tengo los cojones.
Quiero ser seguro de mi mismo, pero no lo logro.
Quiero saber poner acentos y no lo logro aunque me sepa las reglas.
Quiero tantas cosas que no se si las quiero por mi o las quiero por otros.
Solo se que prefiero ser YO y no se como.
tu?

Hoy
Hoy amanezco
con el rocío, sin jardines
con reguero por vagancia no por cansancio
con piso sin rocas
con cigarrillos sin IMPUETOS
con Anita, sin Guatemala
con comida, sin ganas de comer
con mi gente, gente a la cual ya no conozco
con contactos, sin trabajo
con todo y nada
Hoy simplemente amanezco

Perdiendo el tiempo en Facebook!!!
You Know You're a Graphic Designer When...
You have bags under your eyes so big you'd have to check them in at Heathrow Airport
You watch the superbowl just for the commercials
You can spot bad typography from 100 yds away
You are pro-facebook because 95% of the myspace accounts burn your retinas
You can name more than 200 fonts in under five minutes
You are completely immune to subliminal advertising
You look upon a well-designed project with either:
sympathy OR extreme jealousy
Your hand is permanently stuck in the shape of a mouse
You tell stories of exacto-knife inflicted wounds with grizzled sort of pride
You practically take caffeine intravenously
You have an appreciation for everything unique
You've been spending three days non-stop on a project and it still looks like shit. You find yourself overcome by Deathlust.
"You find your pulse increase at the sight of a lovely ligature, glasses steam up when an unusually elegant arm, leg, or tail comes in view, and a well-kerned paragraph is apt to make you break into a sweat with excitement."
"You know you're a Graphic Designer when... you buy a CD or DVD for the artwork, even if you have no idea what the actual music or film is like".
(even worse, you don't actually watch or listen to it, just stare at it for hours and hug it in adoration)
"You know you're a Graphic Designer when... you look at the clock and see it's about midnight and think 'I'll go to bed now'... and you actually go to bed about 2-3am".
"You know you're a Graphic Designer when... you need someone else to point out that you're sitting in a room in front of the computer with all the lights off, and haven't noticed"
"...when you know what "kerning" is and you really, really like it."
"... when you wear two [ke] [rn] pins on your bag, and only you know what the mean. To others its probably a band of sorts.."
Forget the boy-wonder and the man of steel; your heroes have names like 'Tibor Kalman', 'Stefan Sagmeister', 'Paul Rand', and 'Paula Scher'.
You don't wear black to look cool, you wear it to hide the gauche.
You have a thing for chairs. You don't know why.
You giggle whenever you use the colors F0CCED, EFF0FF and 44DDDD
You’re in the sun and you look around for a Drop Shadow to sit under.
You give your relatives a lecture about color spaces and profiles when you email them your vacation photos.
Seeing someone use Lens Flare or Comic Sans adversely affects your blood-pressure
You maintain a grid system for your refrigerator magnets.
You organize your CD collection according to the Pantone chart.
You sit at work for eight hours straight just looking at your monitor, waiting for a spark of inspiration that doesn't come.
You're up 'til 5am because you came up with the best idea ever while brushing your teeth.
The hottest dream you ever had was "Trace contour... Find Edges... Pinch... Extrude... Smudge Stick... Motion Blur.... Sprayed Strokes..."
You know Lorem Ipsum by heart.
Your kid knows Lorem Ipsum by heart.
The preschool teacher complains your child won't color inside or outside the lines – only indicate colors on a separate sheet.
Activating your entire font collection makes your computer crash
You deliberately butcher your perfectly cross browser compatible site in IE by placing a “Too Cool for IE” banner on it.
You prefer a Layer Style of 50% Opacity (or less) on your wife’s Satin.
You spend $200 on a font for your personal website because "it's the only one where the lower-case g is just right..."
Looking at a menu make you go "hmmm, ITC Baskerville italic" rather than "mmmm, lunch!"
And when you finally order, you go for Layer Based Slices with Grain Texture...
You use words about fonts you dislike that other normal people reserve for fascist dictators and serial killers.
Apple+Z is the first thing that goes through your mind if you drop and break something.
You refer to colleagues as Strict, Transitional, Loose and the Future Unemployed.
You refer to your privates as "the Magic Wand".
You know that rivers are more than just water.
Your best friends are all employees at the local print shop
The only people who seem to know what you do for a living are other Graphic Designers (ex: Graphic Design? What's that? You'll never be able to make a living being an
artist!)
Kerning and leading on your shopping list actually matters to you, and you don't see a problem with that.
Several South American economies suffer noticeably any time you try to give up coffee, or even cut your consumption of it by half.
You know that "bleeding" doesn't hurt.
when your significant other/ friends have threatened to never speak to you again if you point out one more font to them.
when you know the difference between fuchsia, magenta, and maroon.
If you could go back in time you wouldn't go back to see the rise and fall of civilizations, you'd go back in time to destroy comic sans and papyrus.
You Know You're a Graphic Designer When deciding on the right crop doesn't involve a choice between corn or wheat.
You've considered naming your children things like 'Kern', 'Pica', 'Bézier', and 'Serif'.
You can understand everything on this list.
...Thanks for all the input!....more ideas still welcome!
*We encourage criticism here as long as it is CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM. Don't just bash it- tell them what isn't working and perhaps HOW to FIX IT.
Remember;This place was created for designers to share their knowledge and laugh at themselves. Not to point and laugh at people who are still learning. We all have room for improvement.
Design is never finished, because it can always be better.
We can always be better.

Es oficial!!! Soy superior. DIQUE!!!
Aburrido en el Internet decidí hacer un examen de IQ. Les cuento que fue extremadamente difícil pues te ponen a contestar cosas que normalmente nunca encontrarías en la vida real, pero nada las conteste y he descubierto que tengo un puntaje de 120 lo que en las estadísticas abajo dice que soy superior. No Alexandra no te preocupes que no soy un genio, solo soy superior. Entonces me pongo a pensar lo estúpido que somos, nos medimos, nos pesamos, nos regimos por reglas y averajes que solo nos hacen sentir mejor de quienes somos y que queremos hacer con nuestras vidas. Le damos importancia a cosas que al final no nos hacen ni mejor ni peores personas. Solo nos dan falsas esperanzas de lo que podemos lograr; cuando la única manera de lograr lo que queremos es parar de perder el tiempo en examenes como estos y salir a buscar, encontrar y trabajar fuerte para lograr lo que son nuestros "sueños" y como ya saben por posts anteriores ya he expresado la duda que tengo sobre los sueños.
There have been various classification systems for IQ.
Terman's classification was (6):
IQ Range
Classification
140 and over Genius or near genius
120-140 Very superior intelligence
110-120 Superior intelligence
90-110 Normal or average intelligence
80-90 Dullness
70-80 Borderline deficiency
Below 70 Definite feeble-mindedness
(Terman wrote the Stanford-Binet test (1), which has a SD of 16.)
Later, Wechsler thought that it would be much more legitimate to base his classifications on the Probable Error (PE) so his classification was (6):
Classification IQ Limits Percent Included
Very Superior 128 and over 2.2
Superior 120-127 6.7
Bright Normal 111-119 16.1
Average 91-110 50
Dull Normal 80-90 16.1
Borderline 66-79 6.7
Defective 65 and below 2.2
Mental deficiency used to be more finely classified using the following technical terms that later began to be abused by the rest of society (5):
IQ Range Classification
70-80 Borderline deficiency
50-69 Moron
20-49 Imbecile
below 20 Idiot
