~Got your PM today...just sent one back to you Elena~hope you got it.
It appears my Inbox/PM's are in the new YT format...but i've not changed over...maybe all channels look like these new PM designs now...i still like my 'personalization' channel...oh life is getting so complicated!
nice guess...yes, its my HS yearbook pic at 17...i use to get carded at taverns/bars at 25 thinking i was 16 or something...haha!...Fantasy is a good way to live ones Reality...it helps bring hope and feel spirit free...long live our imagination...and yours too...i appreciate your care...as i pass on my love to you, romantic one~douglas~

I appreciate your shared likes and very glad to share them with you, Elena~'I agree...your Mayors new education laws for hiring natives only to teach English in your Spain is totally boneheaded...lol~...just the opposite...Spainsh citizens like you with college prep and credentialed teacher credits should have priority job #1 in your country...i think the hidden agenda for these politicians is these Natives, like from America, get paid by funds from Euro loans or Amereican Grants...that's my take...hope i'm wrong...take care my lovely classic rock lady of the true, romantic Spain~douglas~

Oh...so sorry to hear about that Elena...
I don't blame you for feeling upset and angry at that Mayor's proclamation that only Native teacher's can teach Spanish citizens the English language...
It just doesn't seem fair to you or others that are profecient in English and are Spanish citizens...why you can't be treated equally...because that is neither fair or right...its down right discrimination...In my USA....you would sue the Education Department and win...because our Constitution would not allow that...
sorry for your headaches...but know in your heart...you are blessed with the angels on your side...and for those like myself...understand your predicament...this chapter will turn the pages for a new day...keep hope alive please my dear friend...love always, ~douglas~

Like your featured vid by the Beach Boys...'Long promised Road"...it can be like that when you reach those 'crossroads' of life...and i do feel for your situation Elena~
When you are at those crossroads...you can always pause, before taking that chosen path, before moving...
i do believe your whole country of Spain...and alot of other nations, including my good ol' USA...are suffering from 'epressions' in the economy...read about those depression day 30's of last century...it was happening big time then...and history does repeat itself...the collective self is not alone...so don't be too hard on yourself...we are a social beast of burdens...i do know you are special to me...your lovely~douglas~

Hi Elena~
You have Eclectic taste buds...in your music and your mind...the creative thinkers always get the put downs...but, they always are the one's that lead or author most of our knowledge in music, art, literature and believe it or not...our schools curiculums! damn if you do...or damn if you don't...just be yourself...and be proud of it...with a sense of humor...grin n' bear it...and, you will get yourbreaks in time...i will reply soon to your PM...be kind to yourself and know that you are not alone...with peace to a lovely friend~douglas~

~Love that Yes 'wonderous stories' featured above, Elena~
Yeah! i do agree...to feel pigeon-holed to do what is so-called popular by doing what others do, seems so lack of being independent and creative...tells you something about humanity in general...to imitate! i applaud you for being stubbornly idividualistic...stand strong, and tell others that all knowledge is created by those who followed their own dreams and paths...and without them, no leaders would be born~
bless you my dear friend...and i predict you will get Academy break in jobs this new year...to swim up-stream you will survive...for you show that Will can find your way...keep hope alive~peace and love to ya~douglas~

You're not cranky, Elena...just observing that the world revolves around 'monkey see monkey do' in the adult world of whatever is the popular toy for kids...its because lazy brains choose what the working imagination needs to do...and, that is apply a little attention for the little ones...we sometimes forget they sap up energy like a sponge...and your little cousin will remember the creative toys...from you~
hope your week-end is a good refreshing break from all those holiday burn-outs...january is quite refreshing...always enjoy shareing thoughts/feelings with you...peace and love, ~douglas~

~Don't Worry Elena~
The darkest hour is always before the dawn...hope is alive and through preserverence, you will survive...
I will reply soon to your PM's...i've been swamped by recent fan mail...haha! Santa Claus is coming to town...
~bless you and your romantic heart~douglas~

~Shine on you crazy diamond...Elena!... Bless you my dear friend~
~Happy New Year 2012~<;-)

Its true about your satire of New Years Eve...its a countdown to celebrating...what? one year older and deeper in debt...16 pounds and another year older...haha! 5-4-3-2-1 whopeeeee! its 2012...and the 21st century is party hearty...lol~ Its an excuse to get 'smashed'...where everyone can be drunk at the same time...or drugged up to the max...and dance to dribble hip-hop crap! lol~...i think your cousin Stefan enjoys your teaching...and you made great connections...love comes in many shapes and forms...bless you my dear Elena...anyways, thanks for your appreciations...they do make me smile...loves you madly and Cheers to next years 'rap sessions' on FB...without that crap of rap music....haha!
