the insideoutsider view

an experience in facts and fiction, myth and reality, being in the world as an insiderout. my subjective view, hopefully with enough objectivity to get your attention

I've been offline for ages... life took over so, you can't say no to life can you... or maybe you can but she/he won't listen (you can1t very well call life an it, at least i can't...) in the past i used to wish i could but now i just go with the flow, or the the occasional tsunami... i have moved AGAIN this adds up now to 35 moves in 51 years of life, i'll make the Guinness Book yet.

this move implicated on a change of phone number. now bear in mind this is BRAZIL: it took them 3 months to get me a phone line and then... no internet access. i had to threaten to sue them. i kept calling the privatized telephony company and hearing a load of shit equivalent to at least 100 bulls.

they have this amazing neotech 'robot' thing that answers your calls and NEVER understands what you say. i mean at one point i had to say yes or no; i said YES and the robot answered: I'M SORRY I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SO I RESORTED TO READING KAFKA, I EVEN PRAYED TO HIM, HE HAS BECOME MY GURU FOR EVER.

finally inspired by my GURU i resolved to turn this ABSURD EXPERIENCE into a creative opportunity, i started writing an article/fable about this whole experience, a tale of the absurd of course.

i keep contact with my guru and he's been a great help, got me in touch with Alexander the Great, Dr.Bucephalus, and countless interesting people i would never met other wise.

So all things counted this has been a great lesson and a wonderful opportunity.

And yes, i'm now starking raving mad, a true lunatic, and I LIKE IT!
