Against the Odds

"That is true," said Merlin. "And surely Guinevere is as lovely as you say, but if you do not deeply love her, I could find another good and beautiful enough to please you. But if your heart is set on Guinevere, you will not look at anyone else."
"That is the truth," said the king.
"If I should advise you that Guinevere is an unfortunate choice, would that change you?"
"No."
"Well then, if I should tell you that Guinevere will be unfaithful to you with your dearest and most trusted friend--"
"I would not believe you."
"Of course not," said Merlin sadly. "Every man who has ever lived holds tight to the belief that for him alone the laws of probability are canceled out by love."

(Ah, la ironía, convertirme en Arthur cuando Lancelot siempre fue mi favorito y Guinevere una víctima excusada)

En realidad, las cosas nunca son demasiado difíciles.

Cuando uno quiere, puede. El resto (sus fantasmas, los míos, el mundo, mis viejos, los suyos, todo) no importa.

Si eso no es suficiente (si uno no es suficiente para el otro, y el otro para uno), si eso no vale la pena, entonces no sirve.

Las cucharas no existen. End of story.

(Lo jodidamente jodido es cuando solo uno de los dos se desangra inútilmente -- porque la única manera de desangrarse es que lo haga solo uno de los dos)

Pick me, choose me, love me.

Everybody knows that you can't love other people until you love yourself, but nobody ever tells you that the opposite is also true: You can't really love yourself until you love everybody else, because they're just the pieces of yourself that you said no to.

Reluctance, de Robert Frost

Ah, when to the heart of man
was it ever less than a treason to go
with the drift of things,
to yield with a grace to reason,
and bow and accept the end
of a love or a season?

"Go back to your dreams. You don't want to know me."
"Why? You seem to be a nice guy. Don't you wanna fly, too?"

La Administración interrumpe esta oleada depresiva para anunciar que el próximo 4 de abril asistirá al Quilmes Rock 2012, a ver a Foo Fighters, Arctic Monkeys, TV On The Radio, Massacre y Joan Jett And The Blackhearts.

Felicidad =)

¿Quién lo hubiera pensado? Soñar con Mord'Sith no es todo lo que uno imagina, particularmente si quien protagoniza es tu ex y sabés perfectamente que está con una minita. Cualquiera.

And this awkward kiss that tells of other people's lips
will be of service for keeping you away

A veces todavía espero que toque timbre, me salude con una sonrisa y una vez en el ascensor, me bese como si no hubiera mañana; como si no existiera nada más.

Growing Up

It was pain / Sunny days and rain / I knew you'd feel the same things

Anoche, a las 4 a.m., me desperté de un sueño muy raro con la sensación de que algo malo pasaba. Detuve mi mano a milímetros del celular, recordando que no se supone que--

Maldita yo, y mi mimetización con el resto del mundo.

Amar es dar lo que no se tiene. Y más. *

-Sos perfecta.

Owen: Are you gonna get hurt by this guy?
Alicia: I don't know. I have no perspective.
Owen: You should have rebelled in high school. Then you wouldn't have to do it
now.
Alicia: Is that what this is, rebellion?
Owen: Or love. It's not love, is it?
Alicia: No.
Owen: Good. 'Cause that would make it very complicated.

Día complicado: nada mejor que un solitario viaje a la guardia para recordarte cuán solo estás y cuán miserable es tu vida.

Final del juego

En este divorcio, yo me quedé con los recuerdos (un poco falaces; nunca estuvimos en el mismo lugar, al mismo tiempo, por más de unos pocos segundos) y ella se quedó con todo lo demás.

Su perro, el calor, la luz, mis amigos.
