I got this idea from one of Kat's poems....

Life is too short to.....

We all know that life is short, so what do you refuse to do because it's simply a waste of your precious time here on earth?

For me....Life is too short to....

Kiss frogs

Beautiful! "DemasiadA" ...."lamentar." - --Mariana--, Mar 27, 2012
Rac makes perfect use of the DEMASIADO as an adverb. No subject gender agreement is required with adverbs. Think of it as VERY (muy) which never changes in Spanish. - francobollo, Mar 27, 2012
Thank you Mariana and Francobollo!:) - rac1, Mar 27, 2012

Como adverbio, "demasiado" es invariable, siempre masculino: "demasiado larga", "demasiado bonita", "demasiado cansada"... ;) - Cordobesa, Mar 29, 2012
Ah, ok. Gracias! Entonces cada una "demasiada" en este página debe ser "-ado"? La vida es demasiado corta para dejarse llevar por la masa ;) - Goldie_Miel, Mar 29, 2012
So true! - martha-sd, Mar 29, 2012
Si... demasiadO corta en todos los casos.. Adverbio (invariable). Gracias, Cordobesa. - francobollo, Mar 30, 2012

Cordobesa, la vida es femenina.¿ Por qué usas demasiado? - Eddy, Mar 29, 2012
Porque en este caso funciona como adverbio, y, por tanto, es invariable. "El niño es demasiado ruidoso/La niña es demasiado ruidosa/Los niños son demasiado ruidosos/Las niñas son demasiado ruidosas", pero "Hay demasiados niños/Hay demasiadas niñas" :) - Cordobesa, Mar 29, 2012
Gracias hombre. - Eddy, Mar 29, 2012
hombre? isnt cordobesa a female? - Rey_Mysterio, Mar 29, 2012
