Si yo hubiera
"Sometimes we're on a collision course, and we just don't know it. Whether it's by accident or by design, there's not a thing we can do about it. A woman in Paris was on her way to go shopping, but she had forgotten her coat - went back to get it. When she had gotten her coat, the phone had rung, so she'd stopped to answer it; talked for a couple of minutes. While the woman was on the phone, Daisy was rehearsing for a performance at the Paris Opera House. And while she was rehearsing, the woman, off the phone now, had gone outside to get a taxi. Now a taxi driver had dropped off a fare earlier and had stopped to get a cup of coffee. And all the while, Daisy was rehearsing. And this cab driver, who dropped off the earlier fare; who'd stopped to get the cup of coffee, had picked up the lady who was going to shopping, and had missed getting an earlier cab. The taxi had to stop for a man crossing the street, who had left for work five minutes later than he normally did, because he forgot to set off his alarm. While that man, late for work, was crossing the street, Daisy had finished rehearsing, and was taking a shower. And while Daisy was showering, the taxi was waiting outside a boutique for the woman to pick up a package, which hadn't been wrapped yet, because the girl who was supposed to wrap it had broken up with her boyfriend the night before, and forgot. When the package was wrapped, the woman, who was back in the cab, was blocked by a delivery truck; all the while Daisy was getting dressed. The delivery truck pulled away and the taxi was able to move, while Daisy, the last to be dressed, waited for one of her friends, who had broken a shoelace. While the taxi was stopped, waiting for a traffic light, Daisy and her friend came out the back of the theatre. And if only one thing had happened differently: if that shoelace hadn't broken; or that delivery truck had moved moments earlier; or that package had been wrapped and ready, because the girl hadn't broken up with her boyfriend; or that man had set his alarm and got up five minutes earlier; or that taxi driver hadn't stopped for a cup of coffee; or that woman had remembered her coat, and got into an earlier cab, Daisy and her friend would've crossed the street, and the taxi would've driven by".

O como dicen en mi familia: si te toca, aunque te quites y si no te toca, aunque te pongas. Chale, ni cómo hacerle.

Periódico
Odio que antes de las 9am mi cerebro ya haya registrado sangre, muerte o tragedia. O las tres. No entiendo en qué momento el morbo empezó a ser rentable. Además, si se supone que en el fondo los rateros, violadores y asesinos padecen de una necesidad de atención muy grande, yo sí creo que ofrecerles estas publicaciones como espacios en los que pueden ser los protagonistas sólo fomenta la creación de más crímenes. Puedo pensar que esa gente tan enferma revisa con ansias los periódicos para ver si su historia fue publicada en algún lado. Si sí, qué orgullo; se recorta y se guarda. Si no, entonces a planear de nuevo. Esta ocasión tal vez una puñalada de más haga la diferencia.
Hoy, jueves, día en el que no sólo te regalarán "Más por más" sino “Sabías qué…”, mientras una parte de mi cerebro pensaba en el gasto innecesario de papel para decir tanta mierda, la otra parte pensó en un proyecto que podría causar un giro de 180° en nuestras vidas. Bolillo News. Bolillo News será uno de esos periodiquitos que están tan de moda en el que sólo se publicarán buenas noticias y buenas acciones, es decir, pura buena vibra.
Así, si el homicida en serie se cansa de no ser publicado a pesar de las ocho víctimas que lleva porque el degollado siempre le gana la primera plana, ahora podrá cambiar de giro y dedicarse a ser el mejor amigo secreto que el DF pueda tener. Gracias a Bolillo News nos enteraríamos de litros de agua bien fría regalados a los sedientos pasajeros del metro en hora pico o de una persona que se salvó de tener un ataque al corazón porque en el momento de mayor estrés, un extraño le ofreció un masaje relajante. Entonces la necesidad de ser el centro de atención quedaría satisfecha y, a manera de círculo virtuoso, la gente se esmeraría en hacer cosas buenas sólo para ser publicado. Lo ven? Todos salimos ganando con Bolillo News, qué maravilla!
