The Dirt

[boleronaufrage]

An Open System (Part 2)

Llegamos a casa empapados por la lluvia, Virtual nos miró desde el salón casi sin apartar la mirada del ordenador. Acompañé a Lumber hasta su cuarto y le dije que mejor se desvistiera. Este hizo caso omiso de mi consejo y se dejó caer sobre el colchón sin haberse siquiera quitado la chaqueta. Apagué la luz, encendí su calefacción y le quité las botas como pude. Antes de salir le oí decirme, - Mid, despiértame en 25 minutos, estoy perdiendo el ritmo.

¿Alguna vez habéis intentado forzaros para no dormir durante días y días? Nuestra idea surgió, como tantas otras cosas, en el Café Marlayne, hablando de negocios:

*

Virtual: No me convences, me quedo con Tesla. Joder ¿quién más se enfrentaría a Edison? Sin él no hubiera habido ni Segunda Revolución Industrial. ¿Has visto esa foto típica suya en la que sale de perfil, repeinado, con bigote? Mucha clase Mid, y además hablaba ocho idiomas, entre los que estaba el latín.

Midnight: Exageras…de todos modos y ahora que lo dices, hace poco leí un artículo sobre él, hablaba de sus grandes contribuciones y de sus grandes perturbaciones. 

Virtual: Imagino que sería largo entonces, decían que tenía que comer con 18 servilletas y que tenía una obsesión con el número 3 y sus múltiplos, de hecho, hacía muchas cosas tres veces. 

Midnight: «Yo la quería como un hombre ama a una mujer y ella también me quiso. Mientras la tuve, hubo un propósito en mi vida» ¿Sabes de quién hablaba? De una paloma Vir, una rata que vuela, una que tenía con él en su cama cuando estaba enfermo. 

Nos reímos, y mientras Virtual me servía más café seguía recordando… 

Midnight: «Tenemos un mensaje de otro mundo, desconocido y remoto. Se lee: uno... dos... Tres...>> Decía tu amigo Tesla, en referencia a una tormenta eléctrica que según él había ocurrido en Júpiter. 

Virtual: Un visionario…es que no solo era científico, era un poeta, un filósofo, una persona elegante, seria, sabía de música…todo. 

Midnight: Y no dormía, o lo hacía muy poco. En eso nos parecemos a él.

Virtual: Dormir es perder el tiempo Mid, siempre te lo he dicho. Ya sabes que hay una técnica que estoy pensando en poner en marcha, la de las micro-siestas cada dos horas, al más puro estilo Neil Strauss. 

Midnight: ¿Sabías que se lo tomó tan en serio que la primera vez que tuvo la oportunidad de hacer un trío con dos bellezas tuvo que pararlo y pedirlas permiso para dormir 20 minutos? ¿Eso quieres? (*Ver nota al final)

Es una locura Vir, acabaríamos como Tesla, o peor. Él al menos vivía en hoteles de lujo. 

Virtual: Tú también te has pasado más tiempo dentro de ellos que fuera, aunque currando… ¿De verdad no lo probarías? ¿Qué se pierde?

Midnight: Hombre…Tendríamos más tiempo para trabajar, y para negocios, y aprenderías más inglés… 

*

Mientras me duchaba y sentía el agua caliente, recordaba esta conversación que había tenido lugar hace tan sólo tres semanas. Pensaba que quizás nos habíamos equivocado, quizás el sueño no fuera un tema con el que se deba jugar. o no lo habíamos sabido llevar bien. Es verdad que yo solo duré pocos días, pero ellos habían conseguido mantenerlo a rajatabla, con algunas consecuencias eso sí.

Más allá de eso, trabajábamos duro y siempre estábamos concentrados en la creación de talleres y cursos, cuánto más volumen de trabajo había, más intentábamos abarcar. Y el crecimiento era grande, llevábamos casi dos años a un ritmo frenético. 7 and 7 se estaba convertido en un fenómeno social, y consigo estaba trayendo algunos problemas graves en nuestras relaciones con nosotros mismos. Y sin mencionar, por el momento, los problemas legales y ciertas citaciones en los juzgados que nos costaron mucho dinero y preocupación.

Salí de la ducha y fui a la cocina a calentar un poco de avena que me había acostumbrado a tomar por las noches antes de dormir, me encontré con Virtual en la cocina y le comenté el estado en el que me había encontrado a nuestro amigo.

- Virtual: Tenemos que aguantar así Mid, nunca nos ha ido tan bien como ahora. Lumberjack la ha cagado con Lea y lo sabe, es solo eso.

- Midnight: Sabes de sobra que esto no solo trata de Lea, Lumber está muy pasado, debería dormir un poco más.

- Virtual: Retirémosle por un tiempo igual que hemos hecho en otras ocasiones, yo puedo hacerme cargo de sus talleres, no es ningún problema. Y no le despiertes, déjale dormir.

- Midnight:. ¿Sabes cuántas cartas y emails tengo que contestar antes de dormirme? Dime que no tienes ganas de despertarte un día y poder hacer lo que quieras, de tener un día libre, de visitar a tu madre…

- Virtual: Confía Mid, y valora esto. El día de mañana vamos a venderlo por mucha pasta, hazme caso.

- Midnight: Voy a contestar las cartas. Retiremos a Lumber por un tiempo y démosle más poder a alguno de los chicos, que se pille un billete a Mallorca y un buen hotel, que vaya a ver a su hijo, a su familia y que vuelva con fuerza. Yo hablaré con Lea, a ver si podemos hacer algo para que vaya con él y si no, a la mierda, que se arreglen entre ellos.

- Virtual: Conozco a Lumberjack desde que era un crío, mañana está como una rosa.

Me retiré hacia mi cuarto y como venía haciendo desde hace meses, encendí la luz de la mesa y comencé a abrir las cartas que había cogido del buzón. Prácticamente todas tenían un contenido similar, las preguntas se repetían una y otra vez, y cada vez era más extraño encontrar una con un contenido tan interesante como para localizar a la persona y hablar con él o ella.

Quería acostarme y descansar después de una dura jornada repleta de dudas y reflexión. Había sido un día extraño y a pesar de estar agotado y no tener ninguna esperanza, empecé a contestar como habitualmente hacía. Al cabo de un par de horas, me quedaban unas diez cartas y no se escuchaba nada más en la calle que el sonido del viento y la incesante lluvia. Me asomé a la ventana, la abrí y estuve unos minutos dejando entrar el frío en mi habitación, el olor a lluvia y el sonido de las gotas. Cinco minutos después abrí la carta que me quitaría el sueño esa noche y las posteriores, y la que podría dar el giro más importante a nuestra estrategia. En frente de ella, me quedé algunos minutos pensando, no me podía creer que pasara justo hoy. Había posibilidades de que fuera mentira, es verdad, pero no mucha gente tenía la información necesaria como para saber que esa carta nos interesaría. Solo el hecho de pensarlo me hacía excitarme ante la idea de meter 7and7 en un ambiente universitario, en una de las universidades más famosas y con más erasmus de Europa. Llevábamos meses intentando buscar a la persona adecuada, y sin dar con el perfil que nos satisficiera.

Con la carta en la mano, me levanté de la mesa rápidamente en dirección al cuarto de Virtual, sabía que estaría despierto, y me hubiera dado igual que así no fuera. Entré, dejé la carta en su mesa y le dije que la leyera, en alto, y así lo hizo: 

Dear 7and7,

I can convince the Kaiser to stay in Edinburgh. I’ve talked to him and I know how to do it. I’ll write you back son.

Bé Chuille

Los dos nos miramos en silencio, no sabíamos quién era Bé Chuille, pero llevábamos meses intentando buscar un sustituto al chico, al Kaiser. Esta carta, si era verdad, nos colocaba más cerca de lo que habíamos estado nunca, más cerca de hacernos fuerte en la Universidad. Los dos nos miramos, podía ser la mejor noticia del último año.

 Fui a la cocina a coger dos Newcastle Brown Ale, nuestra cerveza de las celebraciones, estaban heladas y deseando ser bebidas. Al cerrar la nevera me fijé en un imán que nunca había visto antes, y no pude evitar esbozar una sonrisa…ahí estaba él, Nikola Tesla, mirándome fijamente, el loco, el genio, el amante de las palomas, en mi nevera, con su famosa foto de perfil con bigote. Pensé en la Segunda Revolución Industrial, y en 7&7, y en lo que nos esperaba. 

(**Nota: Hea removed Isabel’s shirt, and we both began sucking on her breasts. We pulled off her pants and began licking up her thighs until her back began to arch. I pulled off Isabel’s panties while Hea crawled behind me and struggled with my pants.

As I helped her with the button-fly, I glanced at the clock. It was 2:00am. My heart froze, it had been four hours since my last nap. I couldn’t just go to sleep in the middle of the first threesome of my life. But if I didn’t, the last four days of sleep deprivation would have been in vain,

“Hey”, I told them. “I hate to do this, but I need to take my twenty-minute nap now. You can join me if you want.” **)

Midnight. The Scottish Tales.

Apocalyptic* Day ! the world is asleep. @BertrandDeparis #BDworld 🏙 I've begun to look at the world through apocalypse eyes. Our society, which seems so sturdily built out of concrete and custom, is just a temporary resting place, a hotel our civilization checked into a couple hundred years ago and must one day check out of. By #NeilStrauss #Day #Eyes #Society #World #Living #Asleep #DDay #ApocalypseNow #Myth of #Ikarus #Ikaria #Mitoraj #Mythology 📬 The *apocalyptic or apocalypse (Greek ancient ἀπoκάλυψις ("apokálupsis", meaning "revelation") is a kind of writing of a prophetic character that has developed in the Jewish culture postexilique and will be popular also among early Christians. narrative is usually a vision-divine revelation transmitted to a man who proposes the imminent announcement of a New World. The best-known work of this kind, which gave it its name, is the Apocalypse, traditionally attributed to St. Jean, and ending the canon of the New Testament.

When you meet your Ex

I met my ex 7months ago at a funeral.. We hadn't spoken to each other in 4 years. When I saw him I was so happy and wanted to talk to him and ask him how he was doing.. He didn't say anything to me and left. I texted him why he left without talking.. To which he responded with 😀 this emoji..

Then slowly we started talking about each other.. He told me he never stopped loving me and that when he saw me he felt the exact same feeling when he got when we were together and that he could have done everything by now for me and convinced everyone in our family for our marriage.. (we are second cousins, mind you, and had a long distance relationship for 3 years)

We started talking again and love sparked and I fell for him all over again.. We started talking to each other on calls, msgs, video calls. He would always insist on video calls even if I we couldn't talk he wanted to see me.. And would say that he would never let me go this time now that I am back..

We met in Indore and I stayed there for a week and met him everyday and we got intimate.. He was all good with me.. Then after the week.. I came back to my city and he got busy with his studies, we stayed in contact via calls and msgs, yet every time he would sound a lil distant.. But I knew he was stressed out with his studies, family and everything.

On April 29th(his birthday), he was at a wedding. He's childhood friend (and a distant relative of his and mine) was getting married to my bhabhi's sister. My brother was there and so were my family and his family.. My bhabhi never said a word to me to come join them for the wedding, she is a narcissistic malicious women and has my brother and my family under her control and fault pretence of being the victim of abuse by me. (which is completely wrong). She and her family (my brother's in law's) have told everyone that I am torchering her to do things.

Mind you we live in a metro city, and we have never ever tried to control or harress her. My brother always takes her side and does what she says.. Yet she made everyone believe her over the actual truth.. She and malicious actions had made my life hell after she got married to my brother 3 years back..

When I met my ex.. He told me what his friend/groom had told him about me.. Which he himself said that I didn't date her(me) now but I know she(me) is not that kinda person who would harress anyone. Anyways, when he told me this that's when I got to know what they had been doing.. All this while when my aunts and others were taunting me randomly and would fight with me, I thought it was me who they had problem with.. I hadn't told anyone what she would do to me and how she would spoil my things steal my money and hide food so I couldn't eat.. There had been times I had stayed hungry all day and had nothing in the house to cook or eat.. Coz she even hides /locks up stuff in her cupboard. Anyways, I suffer from chronic depression, PCOS, Anxiety disorder and dyslexia, I have had consulted psychologist and taking meds for PCOS..

Anyways the behavior of those people and all the accusations made my mental health even worse and even had no support from anyone in the family. And bhabhi and her family intends to mentally torture me so I would commit suicide like my mother.. Which they would be the sole in charge over our property as fooling others wouldn't be that big of a problem. They manipulate my family that she will kill herself if I stayed with her as I am a bad guy here.. Where actually I am a scapegoat to all the malicious intentions and tortures..

Anyways back to the story, when my bf(previous ex) said this was told about you.. I was more stressed on the level of hatred they had for me. I started telling him what exactly had happened and the truth about who tortures whom.

Somehow I felt like he would understand me and stand by me when I needed him. So I would tell him what all the shit she does on a day to day basis after the wedding.

When I came back from indore, after the "intimate moments", he would ask me all the time to make sure I didn't get pregnant or anything...

So after he came back from the wedding I asked him what happened in the wedding... Like I wanted to know what my bhabhi had done more to spoil my image.. What poison she had injected now.. He said he wasn't aware of it.. She looked pretty normal to do such a thing to anyone and when he asked his friend the groom about his wife /the bride's behavior he said she is very good. So yeah.. But by the time he said that we were already having a heated argument and I was so angry by his attitude that I said this groom is your FRIEND, but he is not fucking you to tell you about his wife and their conversation especially after when you had previously said that I wouldn't hurt anyone... Why would he tell his friend what his wife told about her sisters inlaws after you had made clear that you don't believe his wife.. Why would he.. Are you letting him fuck you or what(because pillow talks, not that I didn't suspected him, but seriously we were fighting) .. Anyway what I meant was.. His friend and his woman were couples and couples talk all the things including good and bad about anyone they hate or love.. Which my brother and my bhabhi do too.. And I have seen how my brother takes her side all the fucking time even when he knows that she is doing wrong.. Even when she tells him not to talk to me he would do it and mind you me my bother and her live together in our house. But he never says anything bad about my bhabhi to me or anyone even when she had made it very clear that she hates me and even when he got to know that she had stolen more than 1 lac from him when he was abroad and gave it to her father.. Accused me of torturing her that she had a miscarriage when my brother was abroad for 5 months and she'd had her periods every fucking month.. He still choose to believe that crap.. When his bff who's house he was staying in abroad how bullshit her logic is and that everymonyh you tell me today she has trouble coz she had periods and you believe she had a miscarriage when you hadn't seen her for 5 months..who's child was it.. (these thing brother told me when he realized what she had done and why he wasn't talking to me since he left) anyways..

I think he is taking her side becoz

1. He gets free sex, to Kuch bolo to uska action band hojaega

2. She is always seeking his attention no matter where they are, which make him feel more of a man

3. She is gets very jealous and angry when he talks to anyone women, so to avoid unnecessary drama and conflict that doesn't concern him, she had even asked him when he they got married initially to stop talking to me and my cousins...

Now, you might think that he loves, which I thought too but he doesn't, considering he's still flirting and in intimate contact with his exes and I know this coz those exes were known to me and they keep calling and texting me when my bhabhi saw their msgs and had a cat fight with them..

Anyways.. They don't a have a romantic relationship with each other.. They just satisfy each other's selfish needs and requirements and that's the foundation of their "love", so it gets altered and modified as per needs and wants time to time...

Anyways

After that huge fight with my bf when I told him that your friend doesn't get to fuck you, he gets to fuck his wife and would never choose you over her, my bf got offended, then disappeared for a week. I too was angry at his attitude so I didn't call him either.. Now I know the way I said was wrong and I called him to apologize.. Which he didn't say anything to and said he will call me back but then never called me or texted me whatsoever

After about a week or so due to his lack of response and communication and after waiting for him to tell me something I called and confronted him to which he said since I hurt his ego he doesn't love me anymore and doesn't feel like talking to me..

Then I asked him what he wants to do with the relationship to which he responded that he never was in a relationship and that HE doesn't trust me if I will leave him again when he had clearly used and dumped me and didn't even tell me that he wants to breakup.. Like when he was hurting me for something, he was scared of me hurting him for the same thing.. The audacity of that boy(I wouldn't call me a man coz he never had the balls to be one) saying that while he slept with me was because I forced him to and that it concentual and almost forced to him so he was never in relationship with me at all.. So he doesn't have an issue leaving me without even telling me that he is.. But he needed that commitment from me coz he couldn't trust me after I left him 4 years ago..

Anyways... That's my story.. The post break up experience with my ex..

I don't think that's what people except it to be but it is the truth..

People change over a period of time and no one can actually make someone be in love with anyone... People love by choice and making it love by chance of fate or whatever is bullshit bollywood/Hollywood crap to sell their crappy love stories...

You leave your ex for a reason and yes feeling for someone or attraction for someone might be there somewhere but they are out of your life for a reason and that's probably should be the way it is.. What the girl did in this video is absolutely correct.. If the relationship was worth anything it wouldn't have ended in the first place..

That's all I got to say..

And also that.. Our behavior is in our hand and it's up to us to change but our behavior doesn't define us.. Yes we make a lot of mistakes which costs us relationship but we can always change our behavior for ourselves and our loved ones, our reactions to good or bad situations or emotions and actions... But we cannot and should not change our Character for anyone..

I have learned that bringing outside problems to relationships can take the essence of it and anger is our worst enemy. We should learn to be controlled and collected in any situation no matter how bad they affect us.. To stay away from people who don't support us and love us when we're at our worst... And to respect yourself enough to let go of anything person, relationship, situation that's toxic for you.. Its easier said than done, I know, but it must be done... At the end it would be definitely difficult to live without someone you truly love but it's IMPOSSIBLE to live without yourself... So love yourself and choose what's best for you..

BE A LOVER. CHOOSE LOVE. GIVE LOVE TO EVERYONE. CHOOSE THEM FOR WHO THEY REALLY ARE AND NOT WHAT YOU WANT THEM TO BE. SPREAD LOVE AND HAPPINESS AND TRUST YOUR JOURNEY.. TRUST GOD.. HE HAS GIVEN YOU THE PAIN HE WILL HEAL YOU..

ALLL THE LOVE.... TO EVERYONE I LOVED AND LOST AND WILL LOVE AGAIN...

😘😘😘😘😘😘

Here’s another one that sucked me in. “The great thing about real life is that it will always surprise you. Nothing ever turns out the way you expect. I suppose that’s why I write nonfiction. If this were a movie, the organization would already have traced my number, bugged my phone, and kidnapped my brother. Instead I was being transferred to the publicist and media relations executive for a death cult.” #neilstrauss #emergencybook #audiblebooks #audiobooks #alwaysbelearning #selfeducate #selfstudy #svadhyaya #kaizen #detroityoga (at Detroit Yoga)
