Since both translate as *to be* I figure...estar has more letters? 
Damn, I knew we'd be doing grammar here soon...

| I think that one reflects a more permanent state and one a more transitory state. Yo soy guapo (I am handsome, never to change).

ser - who I am, I AM MJ!
estar - where I am...like...I know? But I get it? Do I get it, Paw's Nest???
I tried this out on a local and she brought me a bit farther along. Hopefully, I will retain this...I was going to do a sentence in Spanish using the second one, but...I am what I am, and I can't quite get there yet...where ever there is.
BUT...using the Valentine greeting in espanol, I got a lot of encouragement (and some laughs) today!
