a year later / Na'vi, again!?
Well, the first part "a year later" is because it has just begun to soak into my consciousness (after I read some posts on the subject) that yes, it's been about a year, a bit more, since I saw Avatar for the first time... Already a year? Only a year? What a year!
I've just thought that I got obsessed with the idea of "Avatar Soundtrack" CD precisely in these dates... a year later... eh? The "Na'vi again!" part is a curious & even funny coincidence. But it happened not a year, but half a year ago - & half a year after Avatar. Hm... right in the middle! I signed up for AF in July, from the depths of PAD, and almost immediately got a job offer. Since I was not too active anyway, I thought of maybe unsubscribing, & maybe getting serious for a change, & maybe getting my head out of clouds & my feet on the ground, & maybe this, maybe that.... in short, why don't I become a perfectly "normal" piece of the machinery of the society. I started in September. The first day, I go to the office, meet the people, get shown my desk, the usual. Then a programmer girl comes to me and says: "Let me tell you something about the Navi". ... ... ... I stare. The look of me is best described with "You should see your face(s)!" I honestly just stare blankly with no thoughts but "WHAT!?" It turned out that NAVI - NAVISION - is the database  & as a translator I am supposed to check it, edit it, revise it, & do whatever a good translator does. The girl explained lots, it seemed very complicated but I guess I wasn't really listening - I just couldn't. To let my mind go blank wasn't hard for me... ... ....  Next step, she shows me the icon - a half Na'vi blue, half dark blue square, with "NAVI" in caps under it! I finally managed to think: "Hm... I think I'll stay in the forums for a while!" So it was more or less what Alan said once: "The most amazing revelations find us when we expect them the least ", or something like this, sorry I don't remember exactly. (only today I noticed that there are some tiny white dots on the icon, too! Goody! Sometimes I see this icon & think it's the link to ToS and then I click on it & see... well... something else...  ). But it's like a reminder that sits on my screen & looks at me every day...So, yes. The NAVI (s) are here to stay! Last edited by apache_blanca; 02-05-2012 at 02:44 PM.

@Fosus: mmm the office crew is mostly skypeople, so my human avatar driver is still trying to figure out how to survive in the concrete jungle...
:O@Advent: yeah, think of it! I was actually trying to disconnect from Avatar cos the PAD was too much, & I was feeling too alone... And where do Avatar/Na'vi find me & tune me back? Precisely at work! Whoah!! Last edited by apache_blanca; 05-03-2011 at 05:18 PM.

I don't really feel different, if i look back.. i still want to be a na'vi, and run in the forests the whole day, just take care of yourself, no mom and dad that can do it for you... just FREEDOM....

what the change?

since I've asked you so many questions I might as well answer as far as I am concerned (briefly & randomly): 1. I really took to barefoot walks (inspired by this forum) - & I do get to feel myself as "a part of the forest". 2. I found this forum! where I feel myself for a change - & it's great!!! 3. I remembered to thank plants & animals (& All Mother) for the food, or other service like healing or even clothing me. I already learnt it from Don Juan's Teachings, but then for some reason I left it - Avatar reminded me. 4. I had some extremely powerful Pandora meditations & dreams that guide me thru this life on this planet in this body - this only invites me to meditate more regularly & see what glimpse I get this time. 5. I got a Pandora Blueskin T-Shirt that I am proudly wearing right now! 6. I have some great new friends from this forum whom I never saw physically but we SEE each other. 7. I go thru the forest - or anywhere - with eyes wide open & ears pricked up (so to speak) & try to notice the beauty in everything, even a cloud, or somebody in a bright dress, whatever - "my today's dose of beauty".8. I also got an "Avatar CD, finally!" that I am going to listen to right now! 9. I also got an Avatar CE collection, & all this material Avatar stuff is a bit of Pandora I have here, I can see it, touch it & watch it (even lick it if I feel like) This is not bad! I might add more later on. PS on May 16, 7:27 am Spanish time: this is only scratching the surface... I haven't even mentioned how i LOVE Avatar - but I need more time & the right words & inspiration to express this! Maybe later.... Last edited by apache_blanca; 05-16-2011 at 06:28 AM.
