Soo.. I needed a haircut.. yeah.. I was dreading the moment.. That awful moment every few months when I have to go to this small saloon where I pay lots of money to some guy/gal that doesn’t even know where Venezuela is to use sharp instruments on my head.

I cannot begin to explain how much I dread that moment, and it’s not because of their fault entirely, but because I don’t know.. I don’t know how I want my hair, I don’t know how to style it, I don’t know what I can use with my hair, I don’t know how I want it to look like.. I know how I wish it would look like, but let’s better not go there..

So at least this guy used one of those flat plier things that make your hair smoke and make funny noises, and he had the courage and disposition to try something on my hair..

Do I like it .. err.. I don’t know.. I guess not.. I’m my country we call this “pelo planchado”, which means Ironed hair, but well.. I guess most women do this….

Damn.. I have issues.. BIG BAD UGLY ONES !

today ..

What I did today…


  • Kept playing with my debian distro, it’s so cool.. Now it’s running flawlessly with Apache, PHP, MySQL, Courier, Zencart, Samba and SWAT. The networking part rocks !
  • Spent most of the morning troubleshooting how to connect from Windows to Samba without having to modify my windows username (it contains one space and *nix doesn’t like spaces), I ended up making a new user account in Debian and did a “useraccount map -> luisaranguren = “Luis Aranguren”. 
  • Use PocketPutty on my PPC to connect to my debian distro running under vmware
  • Chatted a lot with a few people, including , LA (my ex), Pony, Jon, Luke
  • Ate sausage, garlicky mushrooms and avocado

Well.. gotta go ..

Mercury damage ‘irreversible’


Scientists at the Harvard School of Public Health have
found that methyl mercury contamination of seafood can cause heart damage and
irreversible impairment to brain function…

The researchers saw the same effects in the children when they were 7 and 14. “This indicates to us that if a brain is exposed to mercury during development in the mother’s womb, then the effect that we see during childhood is going to be a lasting effect,” he says. “We’re seeing that a brain that is affected during development will not recover, and I think this sort of puts the mercury question into perspective. If this was just a passing effect, it’s something entirely different. But here we’re talking about something that will stay with that child for a lifetime, and that will affect the child’s education, academic success, financial success and whole equality of life.”

These particular delays are associated with deficits in memory, language, attention, and motor speed, among other things, Grandjean says.

From http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxprofiles/phs46.html

Metallic mercury vapors or organic mercury may affect many different areas of the brain and their associated functions, resulting in a variety of symptoms. These include personality changes (irritability, shyness, nervousness), tremors, changes in vision (constriction (or narrowing) of the visual field), deafness, muscle incoordination, loss of sensation, and difficulties with memory.

Sweet..

I finally got tired of running several distros from livecd and decided I wanted a small one to install on vmware. I wanted to commit a few hundred MBs to it.. Yeah. it’s not much .. I know.. but .. whatever..

I finally settled -for the moment- for DSL, using the hd install. Maybe I will end up later moving to Bonzai which is debian based or something Gentoo based. I wanna start with a barebone distro so I can add everything to it.

Since I’m in stalking mode (J/K). I went to gaydar.co.uk, which is what most gay australians use. .- Seriously if you want to make a survey of all gay Australians go to gaydar.- And I looked for the guy I kissed on Mardi Gras. I remembered he was capricorn, and 22 and from Melbourne, so it was fairly easy to find him. Ain’t he gorgeous?.. I don’t think i’ll ever message him thought, I don’t want him to think I’m stalking him..

Wow.. sooooo HOT !

Mardi Gras

I just arrived from the Mardi Gras party at fox studios in Sydney. It was so cool. 30,000 people. Last time I counted there were 4 different dance floor. And the most amazing thing happened… well let me tell the whole story.. I was sitting on some bleachers amazed by the music and the like 15 lasers that were dancing around when some people sit to my left. I smile to a girl that sits next to me. They stay there for a few minutes and from the corner of my eye I feel that someone from that group is staring. After a few they left but someone stays, and I start feeling getting stared at, from the corner of my eye I see a girl, and I was so into the music that didn’t wanted to be bothered. More and more stares, she pulls some cigarettes and asks me for a light, finally I see her directly and OMG it’s not a girl, it’s the most gorgeous boy ever, dirty blond hair, green eyes, artsy look, perfect height (short like me), and the most gorgeous smile, I look at him and I say “no, i’m sorry”, when I look away, I think “this boy is gorgeous, and he talked to me”, I look around to see if there is anyone smoking, but there is none, I look at him and he’s staring at me, right into my eyes, I smile and he smiles back, I look away and look at him again. I get close to him and say, you’re gorgeous, he says “you’re gorgeous too”. I look away and look back at him and he’s still staring, and I say you have the most beautiful smile, and we kiss, I was almost fainting. His lips were so sweet, I was being picked up by a guy no a boy that looked like 16. I asked him do you want to go out because I wanted to see him In the light just To be sure that I was not making a mistake. We goto tU light- and there were the most beautiful green eyes .

6:30 PM
We arrive in Sydney. We went directly to Dave’s home. This REALLY cute friend of my roomie. It’s a very neat place were we’re staying, very nicely decorated with whites, leather, and tech gadgets. Dave owns a dog, and he seems to care about him a lot, a beatiful french mastif. This sets him high on my cool guys ranking, well that and the fact that he’s cute. We went walking down Oxforf street, where all the gay clubs and cafes are. Everyone wanted to touch the dog. We sat and had a very fried/battered dinner. I was enjoying the conversation, what striked me the most was that Dave mentioned that he would like to work promoting dogs rights, that was so interesting. We tried to find a place were we all could sit and had a coffee but Dave and his dog went back home. My roomie and I ended up going to a disco/bar thing, :S ssdd.. I got tired of it pretty fast, I went out for some air. The line to go back in was huge, so I decided to go back to the house to get my cellphone to call my roomie and tell him I can’t get back in. I come, I find Dave, he’s laying on a couch playing with his tablet pc. We talked about computers for a bit, he says he would like to check my pocket pc. I sms my roomie, he calls me back, asks me to meet him at another club. I would’ve wanted to stay and chat, I don’t dig clubs.. I like to talk, exchange ideas, with one person at at time, that’s as much as I can handle. Wish someday I could be at ease, be relaxed, will probably never happen.

I go back to the club. My cellphone rings. WTF, I don’t know anyone.. who the fuck calls me. It’s tomie, this guy I met online, he’s from sydney and I gave him my cellphone a lwhile ago, I never thought he would call, I was weirded out, awkward and nervous, why I feel this, I can’t cope with anything whatsoever, every little thing that happens sends stress to me.

Tomie seems nice, a lil bit weird, but we all are, he says I look younger than in the pics. I tried to be at ease, but I felt weirder by the minute, I think the lights, the smoke, the amount of people, affects me very much, I could’t breath. I needed to go out to catch some fresh air.

It’s 1:30 am, I’m ready to head back home. I’m feeling more uncomfy by the second, I can’t make conversation. I’m very very very strange… I’m sleepy see ya..
