Tan solo diez minutos de la media noche y despertó en mitad de la nada. Tan solo el olor a hierba mojada, o el de los pinos encinas y abetos que le rodeaban. Y su única compañía, el frío invierno… su mayor enemigo.
Medio mareado consigue ponerse en pie, pero su primer intento solo vale para quedarse sentado, un logro para el estado tan lamentable en el que se encuentra, así que mientras tanto, intenta de alguna forma pensar que lo mejor que puede hacer es esperar a que se le pasa el aturdimiento e intentar saber como ha llegado hasta allí.
Echa una mirada a su alrededor entre fuertes dolores de cabeza y cervicales echando una mano sobre su cuello, el cual no podía ni mantenerse rígido. Encuentra una botella de Jack Daniel’s vacía. Ahora al menos sabe a que se debe su fuerte dolor de cabeza.
El olor del bosque se aleja y su olfato y su garganta emanan un olor a alcohol que le hace tener arcadas provocándole un dolor muy fuerte en su cabeza que le hace gritar mientras cae de espaldas a cielo abierto.
Cierra los ojos y cae semidormido durante unos minutos, sintiendo un fuerte martilleo en su sien, causado por los latidos de su corazón. Ese momento es casi placentero en comparación a los vividos instantes antes.
Pasado un breve espacio de tiempo, se levanta muy lentamente sin movimientos bruscos hasta quedarse completamente de pie y aunque mareado y aturdido, consigue dar algunos pasos hacía una luz borrosa que se ve al final de los árboles.
Es un gran esfuerzo el que realiza y necesita tomar algo de aliento para continuar. Echa mano de sus bolsillos en busca de un pitillo, pero un pinchazo en la cabeza le recuerda que no esta en condiciones de dar ni una sola calada.
Tras un minuto de descanso continua su camino como puede, intentando mantener sus pasos lo más rectos y firmes posibles. Lo único que su mente es capaz de pensar es que en cuanto llegue a esa luz, es muy posible que sea capaz de saber donde se encuentra y pueda emprender el camino a casa.
Una ducha bien caliente y un descanso en una cama durante unas horas, sentir su cuerpo masacrado entre sabanas y mantas que le den la medicina que necesita y levantarse por la mañana con mejor aspecto. Quizás entonces logre comprender como llego hasta ese bosque en tan lamentable estado.
Hace otra parada a pocos metros del campo abierto y con la visión borrosa comienza a discernir más de un luz y algunas voces lejanas, como si de una discusión entre personas se tratase.
Con suerte el camino a casa podrá ser más rápido, si tienen algún vehiculo para llevarle. Pero antes de que acabe de imaginar todo eso, una masa pesada cae encima de el y una voz desconocida grita – He encontrado a alguien!!! Rápido, venid aquí!! –
El apenas puede moverse y aunque pregunta, que es lo que ocurre? Ni al extraño atacante ni al resto de personas que se aproximan, parece importarles mucho contestarle.
- Vamos ponedle las esposas- Comenta uno de los hombres que estaban sobre el. Y esposado siente como le levantan con violencia, enfocando su maltrecho rostro ensangrentado con varias linternas de una fuerte intensidad.
Poco a poco comienza a ver mejor mientras camina casi arrastrado por los hombres que le llevan a unos vehículos que se ven en el camino, entre ramas y arbustos frondosos.
Finalmente llegan al camino y su cara es todo un poema cuando ve sobre los techos de aquellos vehículos sirenas azules y el nombre de “POLICIA” en la puerta, e impacta con su cuerpo sobre el frío metal de su carrocería, mientras aquellos agentes murmuran entre ellos.
Le dan la vuelta y le dejan apoyado sobre el coche policial. Un agente se queda a dos metros de el vigilándole, mientras el resto se movilizan una vez más hacía los árboles de donde lo habían sacado.
Medio aturdido aún por todo aquel momento, miró hacía los lados, pudiendo contar hasta cinco coches policiales y una ambulancia. Miró hacía la posición del agente que tenía delante custodiándole y le pregunto: Qué ha ocurrido? No recuerdo nada… Qué ha pasado? Porque me han puesto unas esposas?
El agente lo único que hizo fue mirarle y poniendo un dedo en la boca le mando callar en silencio.
Al poco rato vio como llevaban un cuerpo tumbado en una camilla hacía la ambulancia, su cuerpo se estremeció y el frío congeló sus músculos. Enseguida comprendió que algo había ocurrido y que el tenía todos los números de ser el culpable, aun sin recordar nada de lo ocurrido.
Un agente bien vestido ordenó que le llevasen hasta el cadáver. Aterrorizado y sujetado de ambos brazos fue llevado hasta la ambulancia. Una vez allí, notó las miradas que lo sentenciaban como culpable de lo ocurrido.
El medico forense allí presente levantaba la sabana ensangrentada que cubría el cuerpo de una mujer joven. Los ojos abiertos y desencajados. El cuerpo acuchillado en su mayor número en el abdomen.
Una mujer con la que el había compartido los últimos seis meses, yacía asesinada ante sus ojos en aquel lugar. Y él había sido encontrado muy cerca de la fallecida.
-Lleváosla- Dijo el agente y mientras le leían sus derechos, aquel hombre congelado por el momento, miro fijamente la funda de uno de los agentes y sin pensarlo dos veces, le quito el arma y con un grito de ira, se apunto directamente a la boca, volándose la cabeza y cayendo al suelo muerto, rodeado de policías... y silencio.

Appreciation is the key
“We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.”
People rarely tend to recognize and take the time to realize what they DO have in life. Men for example tend to forget what God has BLESSED them with when they have found a good woman. Men tend to think that women LOVE washing their dirty laundry or spending hours watching a movie based on drug induced fantasies such as Trainspotting.
Hey guys, here's something you don't know..........WOMEN DON"T LIKE DOING THESE THINGS!!!!! Women like to have a CLEAN abode and therefore are forced to pick up your clothing or footwear that you leave in the entryway after they have just tidied up! Women don't CHOOSE to spend their evenings watching these crappy movies, HELLO!!! They want to spend TIME with you!!!!!!
When do men take the time to clean up after themselves? Oh of course, when the woman asks them to!! I want to see a man sit with his wife while she is getting her hair and nails done. Of course he won't enjoy it, but that's what you do when you want to spend TIME with your BETTER half!
Guys, here is another secret you may not know.........THE BATHROOMS DO NOT MAGICALLY CLEAN THEMSELVES!!!! Take time to surprise your other half and clean it once in a while! Especially when the floor plan consists of more than one bathroom! I don't know about other females, but I do not enjoy scrubbing toilets and bathroom tiles when I get QUIET time. I would prefer to sit down and BREATHE!
So, please take the time to thank your woman! Not on Mother's Day, not Valentine's Day, not any other holiday. EVERYDAY!!!!!
For my female friends out there, please pass this on to any "gentlemen" you may know. You might just save their life.....Enjoy! :)

5 years ago I expected......
I love this question. Hmmm...so many things can run through one's mind when asked this. 5 years ago I was living in a 2 bedroom apt. at Intervale Ave, The Bronx. It was just me, my husband and our 4 month old daughter. We were new parents, struggling to understand the infant mind. Today we are still struggling to understand the infant mind, as well as a 5 year old and a 3 year old mind.
5 years ago, we were not thinking about family size, houses, or living in a completely different state. My kids were going to be from the SOUTH BRONX. Wrong, my kids are now Southerners. My daughter has even developed the Southern accent. One of her favorite phrases are "I'm (insert some words here) like a sinner in church. Granted she has adopted that from The Princess and The Frog movie, but Southern still.
Actually 5 years ago, I was also not expecting to be pregnant with my second child a few months later! We had gone through a miscarriage at 5 months pregnant a few months before getting pregnant with our daughter, so having another pregnancy so soon after my daughter was born was AMAZING! Our family was indeed growing!
While on vacation to Florida, my husband and I decided this was where we wanted to establish and raise our family. We loved the environment and thought what better place to raise a family than the Sunshine State and home of the HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH!
Now, I sit here writing about my beautiful family. My husband has a great job (with a normal schedule), my 5 year old daughter is getting ready to graduate pre-k and just walked in with a dress, shades, and a purse, while RuPaul's Supermodel playing in the background (her barbie doll's accessory), my 3 year old, who will be 4 in a few weeks (God willing) is wearing swimming goggles pretending to be Dinkie from The Littles cartoon and my 3 week old almost month old is napping in the middle of the living room like he owns the place. And me? Well, I'm happy with the way everything is.
5 years ago, did I imagine this? Definitely not. Could it get better? Maybe, can we win the lottery perhaps :) , but I sure love the way my love has changed and grown in these 5 years that have gone by. I couldn't feel any more blessed than what I feel at the moment.......Lottery....LOL Joking joking :)

Married women need to be flirted with too
So yes I am married and have been married for the past 6 years. But some people assume that just because a woman is married they don't need to be told how attractive they are. The truth....I love to be told I'm attractive! Husbands seem to get pretty comfortable in marriages and usually forget to compliment their ladies unless they are given a HUGE hint by said lady. Such as " Do I look pretty?" What they get in response is usually something to the effect of " Yes" And that's the end of the conversation.
Now single women or women that are not married may think "What's wrong with that? He complimented you." Well, the truth is after you have been married for a while and not feeling butterflies in your stomach or feeling that "new" relationship feeling, you tend to become stuck in a rut and long for that attention. JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN IN A LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIP, DOES NOT MEAN YOU DO NOT NEED TO FEEL PRETTY.
Today, while at Walmart, I was complimented and had men checking me out. I felt FABULOUS! This mother of 3 actually looked pretty and was able to get attention while wearing a baseball cap, jeans, sunglasses, button down shirt, and flip flops. WHAT? You mean I didn't have to ask anyone or actually get made up!?
To men reading this, take a hint, PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR LADY!!!! Giving your lady some attention, will go a LONG way! She does clean, cook, and do your laundry after all. AND she does it for FREE. You don't want to compliment her, then pay her!
Anyhoo......I just want to say, I feel AWESOME!!!!!!

Nobody requested this, Just needed to let you know
“Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." ~ Christopher Robin to Pooh
I think that quote sums it up perfectly. I want to dedicate this blog to my friends, old and new alike whose ears or should I say EYES have been drying up and falling off reading my emails or my statuses, trying to comfort me.
People that know me, know that I do put up walls in order to keep myself from getting hurt and sometimes those walls do cave in. They also know these walls are there for legitimate reasons. When these walls collapse and people are able to destroy pieces of me, my friends are always there to make me feel a little better.
Thank you, dear friends, for listening to my crazy rants when I need to vent and for listening to my insecurities. Trust me, they exist because I have allowed myself to be brought down by people that shouldn't matter to me. Or in recent cases, by people that should be lifting me up and not bringing me down. Oh well.....happens to the best of us, I guess.
I put up that quote, because in the worst of my moments, you guys turn into Christopher Robin to my Pooh. The past 2 days have been tough on me and I want to thank you guys again for being my leaning posts when I'm about to fall.
Again guys, I love you and I will try to be the prettiest, sassiest, sexiest, best mother and female I can be!
“Sometimes you put walls up not to keep people out, but to see who cares enough to break them down.”
So on that note, those who have not moved to Florida as of today.....you guys need to move asap! LOL

El Arrecife (The Reef)
Valoración: 7/10
Desde las antípodas llega este film de terror firmado por el director Andrew Traucki con el que se consolida ya dentro de este subgénero de horror con animales. Nos llevó a los pantanos australianos con su anterior film “Black Water”, centrado en un grupo sitiado por cocodrilos y ahora nos arrastra a aguas más profundas y a escalofríos y tensión más inquietantes en compañía de tiburones.
El argumento, que parte de acontecimientos reales, es sencillo. Un grupo de amigos que parte en barco a visitar, en Australia, uno de los arrecifes más hermosos del mundo, una tragedia que no se hace esperar. Como todo lo bello, los corales tienen doble filo y la embarcación termina naufragando. Dudas, discusiones entre el grupo superviviente, y una arriesgada decisión, nadar hasta la incierta costa más cercana… El trayecto no puede ser más duro, ni más solitario… hasta que una presencia bajo las cristalinas aguas, un gran tiburón blanco decide acompañarles.
Este proyecto poco o nada tiene que ver con otros tantos “basados en hechos reales” de pobre factura, efectismos baratos y nulo interés. En “The Ref.” encontramos un guión verosímil, unas filmaciones acuáticas de gran calidad, unas interpretaciones más que aceptables… una conjunción de ingredientes equilibrada que consigue una atmósfera de autenticidad que traspasa la pantalla, un halo de inquietud que hace que el espectador sufra con los náufragos hasta el último instante.
Mucho se ha comparado este film con la no muy lejana en el tiempo “Open Water”, ambas parten de premisas similares, hechos acontecidos en la realidad, bajo presupuesto… pero, para mi gusto, pese a que el trabajo que nos presenta Andrew Traucki es más cinematográfico y menos documentalista (aspecto al que se le presupone dotar al film de más autenticidad e implicación por parte de la audiencia, y era una baza con la que jugó “Open Water” para su producción y campaña publicitaria) su atención al detalle, a la atmósfera, coherencia y verosimilitud de cada aspecto mostrado, técnico o interpretativo, la sitúa muy por encima de su antecesora en credibilidad, ritmo y generación de catarsis en aquellos que se atrevan a sumergirse con él en estas aguas mortales.
Sorprendentemente recomendable, una prueba de que el subgénero del terror con animales, y especialmente con tiburones, no ha muerto, aún resta terror bajo las insondables aguas.
Enoch.
Sádica Ira
La noche hizo gala se de su presencia, mientras acababa de rebanarle el cuello a otro hijo bastardo de Kranc, la sangre salía muy fluida y a la luz de la luna su brillo incesante, hacía aun más bello aquel cadáver mutilado.
Camino entre cuerpos destrozados en el campo de batalla, veo algunos que aun intentan moverse malheridos entre vísceras y sangre. Y eso aun me llena más de ira y levanto mi hacha descuartizándolos como si fuera un suculento banquete.
El olor a podrido, el rojo rubí que tiñe los cuerpos de destrucción en las colinas de la muerte. Y un guerrero bastardo de Kranc que intenta levantarse, dejo caer mi hacha y camino con la mirada perdida en su miserable escultura hasta atravesarle su mísero corazón con mi espada. El crujido de sus costillas al quebrarse y sus ojos desorbitados… qué paz ahora que yaces mal nacido, no intentes gritar. Acaso no ves que las almas muertas no pueden ayudarte? Entonces si no ves porque abres tanto los ojos? Acaso quieres ver a Dios? Cae sucio bastardo que si alguna vez tu corazón robaron, el culpable fui yo.
Allí deje su pecho rajado y me lleve conmigo su corazón aun caliente entre mis manos, quizás su dulce esposa quiera guardarlo para el recuerdo.
Recogida mi hacha, camino sin nadie más a quien poder quitar su último aliento, pues todos yacen sin vida. Ahora tomare un respiro, mientras las emociones y los deseos de mutilación se desvanecen a cada instante para darme un momento de paz.
Que nadie osa tocarme, que nadie osa hablarme porque este es mi reino, mi hogar y aunque la sangre mancha este paraje de bosques frondosos, el rubí también es bello y las colinas de la muerte son mi oscuridad más sádica.

Motherhood and its effects
What has motherhood taught me? Growing up playing with babydolls, a young girl envisions a child that eats when told to do so and sleeps when laid down. Well, to those who do not have children, time for a reality check, REAL children do not eat when you shove a spoon in their mouth and contrary to popular belief, when they are placed on their backs on their beds, their eyes do not instinctively close. Real children will try to shove their spoon into YOUR mouth and will give you a gym workout while struggling to let you put them to sleep.
Motherhood has taught me that there is no way to be THE PERFECT MOTHER. The only way to be a "perfect" mother is to raise your kids the way YOU feel is correct. Not the way your mom, mother-in-law, or your other relatives may feel is the proper way. You have to do what you feel is proper, even if it goes against the popular advice in your family or circle of friends. Now, if it's against the LAW, then it probably is not the right thing to do :)
Motherhood has taught me that children will bring out the best in your personality as well as the worst. You will scream even though you swear you will NEVER do that. You may not scream in front of your child, but trust me you will scream. Not even the most patient of people will be patient when they have children. Kids will do that to you. It's normal.
At the end of the day however, the good times outweigh the bad. When you see the love in those little eyes that tell you that you are important to at least that one person, it's magical. Knowing that you are shaping that child's life and that you are responsible for creating and forming a better world through that child, it makes all the stress worthwhile. You will feel a love that you never thought imaginable. It's weird. It tugs you and takes all your energy, but you will realize it's the greatest love of all.
Motherhood has taught me........TRUE LOVE. <3
