I will start this journal talking about my friend I went out with to Yog (see the Busy Place Journal to get some context). Now that I think about it, she lives her life in a very transcendental way. She doesn't really care what society thinks about her, I remember she told me "que piensen lo que quieran" or let them think what they want, that phrase is as transcendental as you can get. She likes to live her life to the fullest. We also talked about how our friendship came out of no where because we dont attend the same schools (or ever had) and have few friends in common, we concluded that it was because I talked to her in a party searching for an advice. Over the course of time we have met (about 8 months ago), I have noticed that she is someone you can talk to very easily, the conversations flows without any problems. She gives very good advices and she's also open to hear my advices. Now that I think about it maybe her transcendental ideals were the ones that made our friendship start. For example, her disposition to live her life to the fullest and not to loose any beneficial experiences was the thing that may have started our friendship. Breaking your routine of talking to the same people can create a great friendship that you wouldn't have had in the first place.
Another friend that I noticed that lives with these ideals is Beto Valdés. He follows a lot of transcendental ideas unconsciously. Beto is like a child, in a good way. He is a free person and does whatever he wants whenever he wants. He's also against thinking inside the box, all of his ideas are outstanding and creative. I noticed that he's a person that has a very rich conversation; you can fool around, get good advice from him, even talk about conspiracy theories.
The last person I analysed is my brother Diego. On Thanksgiving break, I spent about 3 days with him, and I noticed that he is living a freer life than what he lived in here in Torreon, mostly because my parents are not around in his department so he can do whatever he wants. He has a child spirit in the way that he does whatever he wants

Busy Place Journal
Today, I went to Yog which is a place where you can get frozen yogurt with a friend. We didn't go to Yog to watch people in the first place (like the assignment says), but as we talked, she asked me if I had any projects due on CAT (she's from Tec) and I remembered my journal assignment that I haven't started, I told her this assignment is due in 2 days, so I decided to stalk some people.
The first person I observed when I entered the store, was the guy who served my friend her yogurt. Well, his job was to serve yogurt to the customers with the toppings they want. I always have the curiosity of what they think when you order a weird combination of yogurt and toppings, are they used to it? or, do they judge you for your bad taste of yogurt and toppings? He didn't talk much, but also there's not so much you can say about frozen yogurt so I wouldn't call him an introvert. He had pimples in his face, and he seemed pretty nice and kind. I think that his goal in life is to get money to pay for school and then become a successful businessman.
There was another guy who was working in Yog. I ordered a small yogurt with toppings and I remember that I asked him for advice of what toppings to put on top of my yogurt because I usually don't go to Yog, and that's when I noticed that he was sort of shy with a low-toned voice. His recommendation of putting cheese pie to my yogurt was really good, by the way. My friend and me went outside to eat our food and for some reason we started to talk about this guy. This doesn't mean that we talked badly of him, but we noticed that he wasn't your ordinary mexican that you see in the corner of the street, he was... different. His skin color wasn't like my hot-chocolate-colored skin or like Valeria Llama's milk-colored skin. His skin was in between my skin color and Valeria's but more towards Valeria's side (whiter lol). I would describe his skin color as a light-toasted bread color. In my perspective, if you are shorter than me, in my head you are a short person, so almost every person I meet is of short height. But this guy was really short, like REALLY short, below average height. He had long hair, longer than Gelacio's hair. He didn't have any pimples in his face, and he is an expert in the subject of yogurt topping recommendations. I would say that his goal in life is also to become a businessman, but that's boring and unoriginal. So this time I think that his goal in life is to become a male super model so he can become rich and famous.
This journal is getting too long but I also remember that a woman entered the store about 30 minutes after we got our food. I couldn't hear her voice but she seemed nice. I think she is a mother of 2 children, so I think that her purpose in life is to raise both of those kids so they can become whatever want to be.
