These are four paragraphs I wrote an afternoon, without the need of reflection: they appeared in front of my mind as these words are appearing on the screen from the moment my fingers press the letters. The 'fingers' in my mind are the experiences. There is no connection between them, not even in area, but they all are interesting observations. I hope they make the reader think, on life and nature, but, most importantly, on his life and his nature. To create the feeling of identification is the ultimate goal of this entry.

1. What I write is different to what I say. What I say is different to how I think. How I think is different to what I do. What I do is different to how I am. And this self-difference makes me be in the deepest of darkness: all that I am NOT is what I am, and so I vanish in nothingness, reversing in time and deconstructing my structure, in a fatal strategy.

2. Revolutions are like polar bears: they make a lot of noise, show totally how they are, use all their power. But they leave out what was there at the start, just that in a new form. In the case of revolutions, a new bureaucracy; in the case of bears, a dead body for the foxes. The businessmen are the foxes.

3. Embarrassment is what I feel when I realize the angst produced in me by the unhappiness I receive when I find that nothing shows me better than my fears.

4. In your fight against others, show your front. In your fight against the world, show your back. In your fight against yourself: step on your knowledge, then step on your believes, then step on your essence, and if nothing works, take your shoe off and throw it at your reflection on the mirror (the world).

    I think your writing is of an old wise man, and the influence of Antonio in your life is the origin. I mean that in the most positive way. For someone of your age to achieve that is rare and should be acknowledged and encouraged. Stay sane and wow me some more. I love it, Guille!
