há uma tristeza em mim que só sinto quando estou triste.
há vazios que só são vazios quando estão vazios.
há distancias que mais compridas que outras, e horas mais longas que meses.
ha sopas mais indegestas que pedras e borrachas mais duras que lapis..
mas porra. que merda esta que me moi a cabeça sem pontas afiadas que eu veja..
Writing is about wanting to tell things, writing autobiographically is committing not to tell the truth. I didn't write this but I can't remember where I read it.

faithfulness
the problem of being faithful, or, one of them, is that in the likely event of a break up, the transition period is not optimized to a minimum. even if this happens quickly naturally, the presence of another person would make it instantaneous. and we all know you cant beat instantaneity.

Measles
Relationships are like those diseases you have when you are a child. It's good to have them all as soon as possible so you can get it out of the way, so you can carry on with your life without fearing your'e going to get something later that's going to make you sterile.
Because somehow, kids are tougher than grownups..
Lets face it, or, let me face it since I don't really care what works for other people because, they are other people. where was I, yes, facing it.
grand relationship types:
A, the ones you leave
B, the ones you are left
A, the ones you leave because you want to.
Aa, because you you found someone else, usually not god or a hobby.
Ab, because you know if you didn't, they would have done it for you.
Ac, because it's just destroying your life and making you feel like a walking sample of what being an idiot looks like.
B, the ones you are left without wanting to
Ba, because they found someone else, usually not god or a hobby.
Bb, because they know if they don't you will.
Bc, because its just destroying their life and making them feel like a walking sample of what being an idiot looks like.
It crossed my mind like a super slow bullet the other day, that I should write a book, which is, in such, a genius and original idea, about my life and my friends. Deconstructing Harry style.
then I thought this was just stupid, besides selfish and potentially dangerous due to the amount of hate feelings it would generate.. so i decided to get on it asap, and cover my tracks by using alias names and places. Nothing can go wrong because most of my friends don't read fiction anyway.
I mean, if telling the truth is liberating, I would be doing everyone a favor, releasing the shackles of all those betrayals, that come in all shapes and sizes, weighing people down like carrying a partner with a broken ankle down a mountain you didn't want to be in on the first place.. your'e welcome.

Sunday afternoon had been loosely agreed to be cleaning up and tidying up afternoon. Especially if it is cold outside and if there wasn’t any party the night before. Although I generally committed to these tours with a sort of countryside policeman sense of duty, I always find difficult to make a pillow fit on that linen thing that goes around and outside, at least not quite like the way my partner did. I thought they were just pillows, she handled them as equations. It’s not that she is overwhelmingly careful with them, it’s just that I think pillows are just pillows.
Grandmothers
I had arrived at the pub early although I had no real hurry to be there anyway. I asked for a large glass of white wine and rested my book on the counter. My recently found and crippled umbrella was left down in the floor in the hope that someone would take it later on and gave it the care I wasn’t able to in the short time we spent together. The fact was, it was a really windy late afternoon for London standards and there was nothing I could have done about it.
My friend arrived shortly after my first sip of that crappy chardonnay and asked for a gin and tonic. We were both on our way somewhere else so this would be brief. We hanged on the difficulties of finding a job, well, she did I just concurred and nodded as we went along, like if my father was telling me how hard life is and the need to go to school and achieve. The fact was I had a job remotely related to our area and she did not, I was making comfortable money and she was counting days.
I don’t exactly know when we deviated into our grandmothers but we did and this for me was a much more engaging subject because I had two of those and finally could discuss something I had a present experience on. She told me how her grandmother had forgotten her birthday and because I know her birthday is on the 25th of December I asked if she had also forgotten baby jesus’s birthday as well, turns out she did. I concluded with an almost medical satisfaction that she should not take it personally then, she assured me she didn’t. Taking advantage of my upper hand I told her how both my grandmothers had evolved in such different ways. One is now semi-mad although physically fit and the other struggles to move around the couch though can still name the world’s capital cities and her schoolmate’s pet’s. After a series of consensual sounds we both agreed that these were the two options we had to fit in later on our lives, and even argued if it was a matter of choice or bad luck. “Or we should just die before it happens” she said straightening her back as she talked. It was true I said, mimicking her body movement, we should just ended it all before we can’t remember who to call to get us a gun, or even that we had previously decided to ended it all before the shriveling part. That said, it would be absolutely necessary to have a person we could trust and tell about our life changing decision and that when the time came, would end our then becoming miserable existence there on the spot.
That person would have to be there as we aged and keep an eye open for stupid things we might start doing. Although the stupid things we might start doing proved to be a really broad subject and one worth discussing, especially with the person who was going make them stop for good. There will need to be a written agreement with some pretty accurate and pre-established stupid things that might be tolerated and others that could be fatal. Taste would not be a factor for example. Before we could get into details we had to disperse and go about our business, she had to go party and I had to go home.
