That’s when we knew we were alive

There were those nights, warm summer nights, when we were out in the countryside, and we felt the wind on our faces, that’s when we knew, that’s when we knew we were alive. When we were sitting by the lake, drawing circles in the sand, and just gazing at the stars, then the wind will blow your hair, that’s when we knew we were alive. And while waiting for a ride, by the side of…

Make Love to the Backpacker

NOOOOOOOOO!!!  That’s what I always hear in my mind when someone asks me “are you traveling?” or they say “oh, you don’t work, so you are traveling here”. I started disliking the word traveling because I feel that if I travel I can’t live. Don’t want to be a traveler, I want to live here…       So I spend too much time trying not to look like this:     And avoiding words like…

I'm a believer!

This story starts in the fall of 2005, I had just moved from Rosario, to Buenos Aires and had to start supporting myself for the very first time. Thought it would be easy. It wasn’t. Of course. A month down the road, I had somehow managed to find a job but had miscalculated the remaining time before getting my first salary, so I didn’t have enough money to buy some food until I get paid and…

Japan 2

From all the countries I’ve been to, Japan was, for some reason, the one that made me wish I could live there forever. I don’t know if it was the kinky porn, the children’s cartoons or the depressingly suicidal business people. I’m not sure, but there was just something there that made me want to stay. And while in Osaka I tried as hard as I could to find a way to stay there permanently,…

Whatever 8

Friend: Hey there. Bruno: Hey, how’s it going? Friend: I feel terrible, just had an argument with my parents. Bruno: Why? What happened? Friend: Well, I want to go on a holiday, but they don’t want me to go. What do you think I should do? Bruno: Mmm.. that sounds like a typical first world problem. And the solution is usually the same, just brush it off. Friend: What do you mean “first world problem”?…

Go to the gym

Guilt: It’s 3 o’clock. Bruno: So? Guilt: So, the gym closes at 5? Bruno: So? Guilt: So you should be on your way already. Bruno: What’s that? I should???

Guilt: No you won’t and you know it. Bruno: Well, I’m not…

Friend: have you ever thought about having a baby? Bruno: Not really, I think we have way too many people already on this planet, we don’t need anymore. Friend: But it’s the circle of life, we have to keep procreating. Bruno: Indefinitely?  Friend: Yes, like the stupid animals we are. Bruno: But… almost  7.000.000.000 people already and counting, one million more people every four days, every second 2 people are born, isn’t that enough? It’s…
