I had forgotten to tell some of you that one of my works got selected on a contest.In case I had told you already, you might want to ignore this post 
Doesn’t mean I won the contest (still don’t know the results), but I’m a finalist. I always hoped people would like my submission because I put a LOT of effort on it. Didn’t try to keep my hopes high because–I hate to say this– I’m still qute insecure. Had never participated on a contest and now it seems I’ll be more confident after this 
Feels good to be selected among thousands of submissions from 76 countries (there are 200 finalists or so). Even if I didn’t win, I made it to a good place, my work will be on exhibition and people can buy prints at the Mexican Museum of Design. I won’t see a cent out of it, but it means status.
I’m really happy for two friends of mine and another colleague because they got selected as well. Hope that at least one of us win something else…. and it’d better be me!

Right, I had never heard about that MTV show… might be because I never watch that channel when I’m back home. Anyway, it made me consider about everything I consider a “turn-off”.
Here’s a list, in no particular order:
- Vegetarians: I don’t have a problem with people not eating meat. I just can’t stand the fact that some of them think they’re better than the rest of us carnivore mortals and make me feel guilty because the tuna sandwich I’m enjoying is not “dolphin-friendly”.
- Chauvinistic pigs: Also known as “macho men”, they think women are a prey that needs to be hunted/harrassed. In case the girl is smart enough to tell that specimen is a jerk, they will go all stupid and try to change their “tactics” so the woman regrets leaving them…as if we cared.
- Drunks: Normally, I don’t drink alcohol, yet I can understand the fact that some people enjoy having a beer or a glass of wine. I just can’t stand when someone gets wasted regularly… let’s say, weekly. They lose more points if they attempt to drive under the influence.
- Know-it-alls: It doesn’t matter if you wrote a doctoral thesis on whatever subject you’re talking about: They’ll always know MORE.
- Emotional guys: Not talking about emos. It’s just that I don’t want to deal with someone who will make me cry my eyeliner out.
- Junkies: Do I really need to explain this?
- Religious extremists: Doesn’t matter what religion they’re into. Enough is enough.
- Anyone who loves their car more than any person and doesn’t talk about anything else but cars, engines and everything in between.
- Designers: I don’t need another huge ego. That’s all I have to say.
- Guys telling the whole world they’re on a diet. Just order something light and stop telling the world you’re dieting.
- Compulsive liars: The truth always comes out, sooner or later… then they get embarrassed and try to set their story straight but it’s a bit too late!
I’d add a few more but I don’t want to bore anyone to death… and it’s almost dinner time.
Life, Rants!
