| Mexico's School system takes after the French (or European) system. You don't get to choose anything until the last year of highschool and that's only the area of interest (physics/mathematician, Biology/Chemist, Economy, Humanities). The university likewise doesn't let you choose (save for when) un... |

| Middle Class. In my life I've occasionally go between upper and lower. Though in Mexico it's tough being middle class there and not seem like a rich person to the majority poor class (it's just as embarrassing to be well off here as it is to have an American accent). It's just one of those things th... |

| If we inferred a cat to be the natural predator, man is his own natural predator. Likewise we infer the mouse trap as being a construct made by superior beings to affectively kill those who were too problematic (troublemakers) and thus would die for the sake of curiosity So whether I want to die at ... |

| Preschool - I had a deadly language barrier that made it seem suffocating at first, but I made some friends. The girls, up until 6th grade, liked me but I was too stupid to actually reciprocate the feeling. Kindergarten - I hated it, I only learned the alphabet. 1st. grade - I liked it. Had my first... |

| Kinda obvious to me but I could be wrong. Take this anecdote. My grandfather, wise but stubborn, gradually increases the times he calls you as he gets older. It's his way at tugging at your attention as he nears the end of his life, because that's what people do when they feel they got few years lef... |

Purely for sarcastic reason.
I hate being cute - the affection of others for random stupidities like that, is just overall embarrassing.

But it's nice to know, that when they do tell you you look cute, that you're not alone and that they do care after all. |

| You might often find that Wierd or Different is in fact a blessing from the creator. It's our ticket to higher echelons of human diversity, where creativity, intelligence and skepticism are well-rewarded. Think freely, think outside the box...the rest is just background radiation (and that's only im... |

| I can't quite give it a precise quantifiable value. But maybe, just maybe, somewhere in the depths of my black little heart, in a spur of the moment I could rally up the courage to do something truly selfless and save my brother's, mother's or father's life. Side from them, I could never quite fatho... |
