Christmas wish list from an angry princess

  • Dec. 30th, 2007 at 7:24 PM

Dear Three Wise Men,
This year I have decided to write this letter to you because I'm not satisfy with the fat drunken man in red that tried to break into my magic tower last year. He wasn't able to stop laughing and throwing stupid toys at me and his reindeers pooed in my precious bed. I had asked him to come because I thought we would help me but I was cleary wrong.

So here I am, writing to three unkown kings -I God, I'm really desperate!

Anyway, what I need is you to bring me a Prince Charming. It doesn't matter he is not charming or blue-blooded, I am not a tall skinny blonde girl myself. Times are now different and I don't want to be as some of those outdated princesses who sleep with a really hot  - and dummy, posh, chauvinistic, prince. In fact, I don't even need them to come and free me or kill any monster that possesses me. Long time ago I decided to fight with my inner monsters instead of waiting for someone else to do the dirty job and I'm quite happy with that decission. But I miss someone to fight with, I sword next mine, a brave heart. So... ehm... I suppose that rules out all dragon killers and... well... all animal killers in general -I won't  wash all those stained clothes.
I also want a Prince Charming with really useful habilities: haunting, killing, conquering... that is soooo boring. What I'm supposed to do while he is playing to be a Macho Prince? Sewing? I prefer a Prince with a richer inner life, capable of talking about philosophy, sharing his views and learning from mine. Don't have to have a strong arm, but a strong soul, don't need eternal fidelity but eternal honesty and loyalty. And of course, a limitless heart.
These are difficult times for us. We are supposed to wait for the perfect man and let them get ride of everything. It is not strange that some of us get up to their ears, cut one of their breasts, join Xena warriors and enjoy other women skills. Mmmm,maybe that is not so bad...
Oh, please, bring me my not-charming, not-perfect Prince soon! Or a charming Princess!!

Sometimes I see little gray men

  • Dec. 30th, 2007 at 2:51 PM



Sometimes I see little gray men behind me. I used to think they were just executives, businessmen, or bankers but now I'm quite sure they are not what they seem to be. Just take a look on them: always talking on the phone, always running, always busy. They are machines programmed to waste every little second of their life. Of course, it is very difficult to see the difference between "using your life" and "wasting your life". Fortunately, I still remember each word of one of my favourite philosophy books, one that I read when I was just 7 years old and that I wasn't  able to fully understand until I grew up. It was supposed to be a book for children but in fact it prepared me to survive in the adult's world. That's why I recognise now those gray men that nobody sees and try to be as far as possible from them. Do I look like a little gray girl myself? I'm wasting my time working all day, talking to the telephone, running to some stupid places and planning my future? I suppose that the answer is "yes". This world of ours is an extremely alienating structure that confuses our priorities. We think we need a lot of things to be happy. We think that work and fame and money will make us happy and we waste our present chasing and uncertain future that is suppose to make us happy. So, at the end of day, if you manage to have time even to think about it, you feel you didn't do anything at all. You have waste another day running, and working and doing a lot of things that now you don't remember, maybe because there weren't really important to you. So you feel empty because you can't see where those 24 have have gone, it's like someone else had stolen them from you. Sometimes I feel tempted to do even more things just to see if I am able to fill my life with good memories. But that is even worse, because by doing so you enter a vicious circle, your waste even more time if you try to use it all. Again, my book gave me a solution even before I got to know I will ever had that problem: I had to stop "using" my time and just enjoy it and let it flourish. Something as simple as get up late and have a delicious breakfast, stay in bed and start that incredible book you never had time to read, call some of your dearest friends just to know how are they, playing that videogame you like so much, go for a walk with something special.... starting a new blog to share your world and philosophy with the rest of people.

So today I want to tell all those gray men that are chasing me that I won't be like them. They can go and look for another victim. This one has decided to treasure her time along with her happiness.
