I wish i had initiative. I wish i was the leading mind of something. I´ve always followed things, but never actually led anything. Sometimes i see fantastic ideas and wonder why i didn´t think of that before. I think i´m good at viewing stuff after they´ve been brought to life. I´m some kind of slow psychic, or whatever you may call it.

(infinite) sadness and melancholy.

I just don´t know what to believe in. Every now and them these feelings take over control. I try to go basic to the basics, but i can´t. I try to postpone all things, but they keep coming closer. I try to pretend time doesn´t surpass three pm, but it´s already three-thirty. Sometimes i wish i had made different choices. I wish i had been brave enough, but i can´t even admit i´m stuck.

Sometimes you just feel numb, as simple as that. Sometimes the only things you are able to feel are anger or indifference. Sometimes you just want to sit down and never ever stand up. Sometimes the simple thought of doing something brings you down. Sometimes you have no idea why you are there. Sometimes you don´t even understand the closest person. Sometimes you just want to be heard, and you are not. Sometimes your own mind plays tricks on you. Sometimes it´s your second mind that does.

'First, get yourself a whippet. I borrowed my housemate’s, but you can always buy your own or get one out from the whippet library. Next, select a jumper for your whippet. In spring I like to run with a continental french sailor dog look, but right now it’s best to go for something along the lines of a daggy, brunswick-green goretex jumpsuit, lets your whippet lose 5% of his body mass in an hour (and incur you fines at the whippet library).

Now parade your whippet around the neighbourhood! You will find that being attached to a hilarious looking dog in a jumpsuit endears you to old Russian peasant women and pert young spunks alike, and soon you are chatting amiably to an attractive poodle with a dog of her own. Take them to Tiamo and make eyes over marinara while your dogs chew bones and bark sweet nothings under the table.

Things will be going well until your whippet bites its date and urinates on yours. Lucky for you, whippets have been historically used as bed warmers, so even if you don’t get your rocks off, you won’t freeze them either. In the morning, put on a record (anything on the Whippet label), get the paper and do the quiz with your whippet. Whippets are very intelligent so don’t feel bad if you lose. Treat your whippet to a pigs ear, pick out a snappy jumper and do it all again!'

do you wander?

Sometimes you see strange things. I´ve run into quite a few of them lately. Dead pidgeons, used rubbers... that´s the kind of thing you usually see when you decide to go for a walk. I wonder what it causes to the mind of an infant that passes right beside it. I won´t start a campaign for cleaner streets or anything else related, but i care about what my dog sees when we escape for some fresh air.

Now she sleeps on the couch. What is in her mind? Running sheeps or used rubbers? Maybe dead pidgeons flying around. That´s what you get when you wander in the streets of sao paulo.
