“In the end we are all separate: our stories, no matter how similar, come to a fork and diverge. We are drawn to each other because of our similarities, but it is our differences we must learn to respect.” An anonymous author said this. I bring this quote because this might be the last post I do, I hope not but in terms of my English class grade it is. Most of us have written about similar things that have happened in our lives since the project was given, others about things from the past, other have written about what is happening in the world, but when you look at all of them you can see similarities in most of our posts stories. Some have talked about our parents, others have talked about problems they have had to face with people, but no mater the differences of situations everybody can complement everyone by sharing there experiences and learning from others on how they chose to react or to assist the situation in the most suitable way so that their lives could go on in the same direction that they were and could keep pursuing the thing that are most important to each one of us. I really enjoyed this project it helped me to create a way to analyze things and to make something good of the experiences that I have had, good or bad.

We're all a little weird.  And life is a little weird.  And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness - and call it love - true love. Robert Fulghum said this. I really identify my relationship with this quote. It is not because we are complete weirdoes but we have some qualities that might seem strange to others around us. I find Valentines Day one of the happiest days of the year for couples, although I think that love should be in the air all year long. I found this quote by an anonymous author that I found so funny but true that I have the impulse to show you. It says, “I don't understand why Cupid was chosen to represent Valentine's Day.  When I think about romance, the last thing on my mind is a short, chubby toddler coming at me with a weapon”. The first time I read this I almost peed my pants because it is so true. I think that one of the reasons people still celebrate Valentines Day is so that we could get inspired by one another and go the extra mile to get that girl that you’ve always wanted, or to tell that one person that you love how much you love her and cherishes the times that you have passed together.

13 is my lucky number. I don’t think that I have ever had a lucky number, or I really didn’t realize it till today. Today is Monday February 13 and it has bean a very lucky day for me. The day started great, my mom woke me up for school in a very nice mood, she usually is in an angry mood in the mornings, I ate bedfast and got ready for school. I drove to school as always and started my day. My first class was English; my teacher today was writing the warning cards for those ho need to improve their grades in her class. I was very nervous because I thought that I was going to get one, when my turn was close I even got up from m chare and stood rite beside her so that I would sign it fast. Suddenly she asked me why I was standing there, and I said that I was waiting to sign my warning card. She said that I didn’t have one, and I started to celebrate because I was so proud of myself. Then there was math and I also didn’t get a warning card there. At the end of the day were the Science Fare awards, I didn’t think that I had won anything but it turns out I got third place in my category, and my project didn’t even work. I got to the conclusion that the number 13 is my lucky number because in January 13 I was a “math god” in a way because I was doing every problem rite.

Want to know what really annoys me? Those embracing moments in your life that you seem to not find a way to get out of them. Have you ever bean embraced by your brother or sister in that moment that you are with your mom, your girlfriend, and her mom just talking and then they walk in and start interrupting the conversation by asking you a favor but you are trying to get them off your back without starting a fight but then they start to be very annoying and you scream to them to stop, then there is that awkward silence that you would want to die or that the earth would open up and swallow you in. Have you also had that time when you are at your home or at your grandparent home and they start bringing out your childhood pictures to show them to your girlfriend. That one happened today to me. I wanted to die, it was worse when that photo of me in a sailor suet showed up, or that one where your parents took you to make your own photo shut. But the worst part is when my girlfriend got to that naked picture in the bathtub, or of you randomly urinating in the side of the road when you were just 3 years old.

Today was a very normal Saturday in my life. I woke up at 8:00 in the morning, ate some breakfast, went to my room and laid in bed for 3 hours watching Green Lantern in 3D until my girlfriend woke up and called me. At about 11:30 she called me and told me that she wanted to see a movie called The Vow, the only problem was that the closest time to watch the movie was in 30 minutes and she lives 20 minutes away from me. I took the fastest shower in my life; I usually take about 30 minutes to an hour to shower. In our like she lives about 5 minutes away from the movie theater. My girlfriend cried like 6 times in the movie, and she doesn’t know but I cried like 2 times. After the movie we went to eat at Panda Express, one of my favorite restaurants, and then we came to our house to rest fore a wile, obviously for those of you readers that are dirty mined my mom was there. Then out of nowhere one of my girlfriend’s best friends calls and says she wants to hang out, in other words “tell Mauro to pick us up and take us to eat somewhere”. At first I wanted to say no but then I was like well what do I have to lose. So I took them out, we had an awesome time. We went to a friend’s pizzeria and the pizza was delicious. After that we took a drive through Condado, then I took them all to there houses and came home.

Today was the second soccer practice it was great. At the end I looked at my phone and saw a text form my girlfriend to call her. I called her and she told me that she needed my help with a project. The help was that I had to go pick her up at her house and come to mine so she could print the project because her printer was dead. I asked my mom and she said it was ok, the only problem was that my school is in Isla Verde and my girlfriend lives in Guaynabo and it was 5:30. That means that I had to get some traffic to get to her house. I went home got some water and my sister wanted to come with me to get her so I had no chose but to bring her. We were in traffic for about two hours so that we could get to her house. I got home at 8:00 and when she connected her computer to the printer we realized that the printer was without ink. We had to run to the nearest Office Max so we could buy some ink. When we got to my house after buying the ink the lights went off all of the sudden so we had to wait until they came back.
