Reflections on What I am

I'm not aware of too many things,
but I know what I know if you know what I mean.
Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box.
Religion is the smile on a dog.
I'm not aware of too many things,
but I know what I know if you know what I mean.
Choke me in the shallow water before I get too deep.
What I am is what I am.
Are you what you are - or what?
I'm not aware of too many things,
but I know what I know if you know what I mean.
Philosophy is a walk on the slippery rocks.
Religion is a light in the fog.
I'm not aware of too many things,
but I know what I know if you know what I mean.
Choke me in the shallow water before I get too deep.
What I am is what I am.
Are you what you are - or what?
Don't let me get too deep.

Me gustaron las fotos. The sad thing Ila dear, is a temporary condition. I know its not a permanent one.

Y sí... es que uno es lo que es en un momento dado. Tal vez ahí es donde es tan útil esa diferencia tan propia del español entre el ser y estar...

Sole, I couldn't agree more... and another maravilla de la lengua española que no tiene equivalente en el inglés... la palabra "Patán".

I don't want to sound irreverent, but in my humble opinion, I'd like to see more of this posts in the future. It's like a dream that brings back delightful memories, like erotic poems whispered in the ear during a raining morning.

And, Ilana Sue, I send you a bunch of time, that is the only and true remedy for the heart's squeeze. A hug from behind and a big kiss in your cheek.

!Jóer! Mi nena al ver las fotos se ha soltado en gritos pidiendo leche.

Quinto.
Thanks for the moral support.

Yuré: vieras que ese mismo efecto le provoco a la mía después de tantos años. Por algo deben servir ¿no?
