Recordar es vivir...


Esto lo publico una amiga por FB y creo que vale la pena colgarlo aqui para la posteridad... que tiempos aquellos, en la que la unica preocupación que teniamos era cuanto tiempo nos tomaba hacer las tareas todas juntas para entonces poder ver los muñequitos o ir a jugar.... que tiempos aquellos... lo digo y lo repito recordar es vivir.....

El objeto de esta nota es reivindicar a una generación, la de todos aquellos que nacimos entre 1960 y 1985, generación que hoy forma parte de los actores de algo que nuestros progenitores ni podían soñar, que vemos la casa que compraron nuestros padres a un valor de 20 o 30 veces más, y somos quienes tomarán las decisiones importantes en un futuro no muy lejano.

Somos la última generación que aprendimos a jugar en la calle, a jugar metras, paralizado, el escondido y al avioncito en los recreos del colegio…... PERO ADEMÁS somos la primera generación que jugó con videojuegos (atari), fuimos a parques de atracciones o vimos caricaturas a color.

Fuimos los últimos en grabar canciones de la radio en casettes y ver películas versión Beta y VHS, PERO orgullosos pioneros del walkman, el chat y los CD's.

Se nos ha etiquetado de GENERACION X y tuvimos que tragarnos, Salvado por la Campana (con todo y Screech), Beverly Hills 90210,(te gustaron en su momento, pero, trata de verlas ahora...) y Friends.

Lloramos con Carrusel Cirilo y Maria Joaquina, y nos moríamos si no llegábamos a ver Nubeluz o Supercropolis. Nosotros hemos aprendido lo qué es el terrorismo y nos enteramos de golpe un 11 de septiembre de la caída de dos torres, pero también de la justicia mundial, vimos caer el muro de Berlín.

Aprendimos a utilizar las computadoras antes que nuestros padres y abuelos, y sobre todo antes que todos esos niños cerebritos de hoy y nunca vimos a los que no sabian usar las computadoras como una especie de "retardados" como sucede hoy.

Jugamos con el tetris, el Mario Bros, vimos los anuncios de los primeros celulares (que parecían ladrillos) y creímos que Internet sería un mundo libre. Somos la Generación de Xuxa, Gi Joe, los ThunderCats, los Transformers, He-Man y las Tortugas Ninja, Del Correcaminos, Arcoiris Rainbow Bright, Fresita, de los Pitufos, La Pantera Rosa , Los Picapiedras, El pájaro loco, Candy Candy. Los que crecieron escuchando a Soda Stereo, Madonna, Michael Jackson y Guns N' Roses, Hombres G y por supuesto en ver y vivir los primeros VIDEOS MUSICALES y que luego presenciaron el apogeo y desplome del grunge junto con la muerte por sobredosis de su mayor exponente. También estaban Los Menudos, Timbiriche, Las Azúcar Moreno, Los Locomía y sus abanicos.

La última generación de las botellas de a litro, de la Coca-Cola familiar de vidrio y la ultima en hacer mandados a la bodega, sin miedo a que nos pasara algo malo.

Esto está dedicado a las personas que nacieron entre 1960 y 1985. La verdad es que no sé cómo hemos sobrevivido nuestra infancia!!!! Mirando atrás es difícil creer que estemos vivos:
1. Viajábamos en autos sin cinturones de seguridad traseros, sin sillitas especiales y sin air-bag
2. Hacíamos viajes de 10-12h en el vidrio de atras del carro y tampoco sufríamos el síndrome de la clase turista.
3. No tuvimos puertas con protecciones, armarios o frascos de medicinas con tapa a prueba de niños.
4. Andábamos en bicicleta o patines sin casco, ni protectores para rodillas y codos.
5. Los columpios, sube y baja eran de metal con las esquinas en punta y oxidadas.

No había celulares!!!!. Íbamos a clase cargados de libros y cuadernos, todo metido en una mochila o bolsón que rara vez tenía refuerzo para los hombros y mucho menos, ruedas!! Cuantos no recogimos del suelo nuestros útiles al romperse la mochila.

Comíamos dulces y tomábamos juguitos, pero no éramos obesos. Si acaso alguno era gordo y punto. Compartimos botellas de bebidas y nadie se contagio de nada, excepto de los piojos, cosa que se solucionaba lavándose la cabeza con vinagre caliente, rezábamos para contagiarnos de gripe o sarampión de nuestro mejor amigo para disfrutar de las "vacaciones".

No tuvimos PlayStation, no había 99 canales de televisión, pantallas planas, sonido surround, mp3s, ipods, computadores e Internet, pero nos lo pasábamos de lo lindo tirándonos globos con agua, o jugando con el nintendo. Y nunca escuchamos sobre el calentamiento global.

Levantabamos jugando a la botellita, no en un chat !!POR FAVOR!!!! No era necesario tener Facebook, fotoblog, Hi5 o MySpace, para saber si existíamos, bastaba con chiflar la tonada de la pandilla o gritar como Tarzán para que toda la cuadra saliera de sus casas, ni nos catalogábamos como dark's, emos o Tukis, etc. Éramos la china, la flaca, la pecosa, el negro o cosas asi, pero todos pertenecíamos al mismo grupo. Éramos responsables de nuestras acciones y acarreábamos con las consecuencias, no había nadie para resolver eso. Tuvimos libertad, fracaso, éxito y responsabilidad, y aprendimos a crecer con todo ello.

¡FELICIDADES!


Frases del dia....


¨No podemos dejar pasar la felicidad cuando la tenemos en frente. La Felicidad es la certeza de haber encontrado nuestro hogar, nuestro puerto. El lugar donde podemos ser nosotros mismos sin miedo. Cuando el Amor llega a nuestras vidas la Esperanza se queda para siempre¨

La vida es la mejor escuela, porque sus caminos siempre nos sorprenden. Y esa sorpresa es el sacudion que nos hace aprender...

El mundo es lo mas imperfecto que existe, pero hay que aprender a vivir en el

Favorite Movie and TV Shows Quotes.....


That's why they call them crushes. If they were easy, they'd call them something else -Sixteen Candles

The romantics would call this a love story, the cynics would call it a tragedy. In my mind it's a little bit of both, and no matter how you choose to view it in the end, it does not change the fact that it involves a great deal of my life and the path I've chosen to follow. –The Notebook

i think all of us want to feel something that we've forgotten or turned our backs on, because maybe we didnt realize how much we were leaving behind, we need to remember what used to be good, if we dont, we wont recognize it even if it hits us between the eyes -13 going on 30

People are always saying change is a good thing. But all they are really saying is that something you didn't want to happen at all has happened -You've Got Mail

If you can't laugh at yourself, life's gonna seem a whole lot longer than you'd like. What do ya do? You laugh, you know, I'm not saying I don't cry... but in between... I laugh -Garden State

I'm afraid of not having enough time. Not enough time to understand people, how they really are, or to be understood myself. I'm afraid of quick judgments and mistakes that everybody makes. You can't fix them without time. I'm afraid of seeing snapshots instead of movies.- The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

because that's what people do... they leap and hope to God they can fly cause otherwise, we just drop like a rock... wondering the whole way down why in the hell did i jump? but here i am.. falling, there's only one person that makes me feel like i can fly. its you. --Hitch

That's life. If nothing else, its life. It's real, and sometimes it fuckin' hurts, but it's sort of all we have. -Garden State

You can't change who people are without destroying who they were. -The Butterfly Effect

The more you know who you are, and what you want, the less you let things upset you. -Lost In Translation

Do not pity the dead. pity the living, and, above all, those who live without love. -JK Rowling, HP & the Deathly Hallows

Nobody’s life is filled with perfect little moments. And if it were, they wouldn’t be perfect little moments. They would just be normal. How would you ever know happiness if you never experienced downs? -Cecilia Ahern, PS I Love You

From Grey´s Anathomy

Meredith Grey to Derek Shepperd
OK, Here it is. Your choice, it's simple. Her or me. And I'm sure she's really great.
But Derek.. I love you.
In a really really big pretend to like your taste in music
let you eat the last piece of cheesecake
hold a radio over my head outside your window
unfortunate way that makes me hate you
love you.
So pick me. Choose me. Love me.

Four hundred years ago, another well-known English guy had an opinion about being alone. John Donne. He thought we were never alone. Of course, it was fancier when he said it. "No man is an island entire unto himself." Boil down that island talk, and he just meant that all anyone needs is someone to step in and let us know we're not alone.

Remember when you were a kid and your biggest worry was like, if you'd get a bike for your birthday or if you'd get to eat cookies for breakfast. Being an adult? Totally overrated. I mean seriously, don't be fooled by all the hot shoes and the great sex and the no parents anymore telling you what to do. Adulthood is responsibility.

From Sex and the City:

You shouldn't have to sacrifice who you are just because somebody else has a problem with it.


Why does the one thing we don’t have affect all the things that we do have?

When you're young, your whole life is about the pursuit of fun. Then, you grow up and learn to be cautious. You could break a bone or a heart. You look before you leap and sometimes you don't leap at all because there's not always someone there to catch you. And in life, there's no safety net. When did it stop being fun and start being scary?

Maybe mistakes are what make our fate... without them what would shape our lives? Maybe if we had never veered off course we wouldn't fall in love, have babies, or be who we are. After all, things change, so do cities, people come into your life and they go. But it's comforting to know that the ones you love are always in your heart... and if you're very lucky, a plane ride away.

Let's be honest. Sometimes there is nothing harder in life than being happy for somebody else.

The most important thing in life is your family. There are days you love them, and others you don't. But, in the end, they're the people you always come home to. Sometimes it's the family you're born into and sometimes it's the one you make for yourself.

No matter who broke your heart, or how long it takes to heal, you'll never get through it without your friends.

Sometimes you gotta quit thinking so much. If it feels right, it probably is. So just go with it.

Maybe the past is like an anchor holding us back. Maybe, you have to let go of who you were to become who you will be.

From Dawson´s Creek

I'd like to tell today's youth that no matter where life takes you, big cities, small towns, you'll inevitably come across small minded people who think they're better than you. People who think that material things, or being pretty or popular, automatically make you a worthwhile human being. I'd like to tell today's youth that none of these things matter. Unless you have a stregth of character, intergtity, ... and if you're lucky enough to have any of these things, don't ever sell out. Don't ever sell out. So when you meet a person for the first time, don't judge them by their station in life, 'cause who knows, that person just might end up being your best friend.

Growing up sucks. Not all kisses are magic, and most boys do not live up to your expectations, but there are those times when everything, I mean love, romance, relationships, it all falls together perfectly and it's incredible. It's those moments, no matter how depressingly few and far between, that make growing up worth it

There are not many people in this world with the ablility to give you butterflies, and if you dont tell those people how you feel, It'll be like spending the rest of your life in your own personal prison.

because life, much like a french movie, rarely makes any sense, but when its right, its right, and you dont question it, you dont think, you dont ponder, you just exist.

Sometimes the hardest things to say are the things that really matter.

What's real --it terrifies all of us. If you think that anything of any value in this world comes at an easier price -- youre wrong.

And then theres love. I want you to love to the tips of your fingers and when you find that love, wherever you find it, whoever you choose, don't run away from it. But you don't have to chase it either. You just be patient and it will come to you, I promise and when you least it expect it, like you, like spending the best year of my life with the sweetest and smartest and the most beautiful baby in the world. You don't be afraid sweetheart and remeber to love is to live

Maybe some friendships aren't meant to be saved. maybe we're meant to spend a
certain part of our life with certain people...and then move on.
