In Which we talk about Apathy: how an Empire fell by a thousand papercuts

Good afternoon, dear friend! This post is going to be a big one in size, I had a lot in mind to assemble! Hope you are well, and hope the weather is lovely! I am happy it is another day on the christmas season, yet I also worry that this post is quite big! Anyway, I in advance beg your forgiveness for not writing some words properly, my eyes are bothering me... I hope my point may come across anyway... let us jump to it... There has been a number of bad events over the past weeks. In Brazil, we are closer to the meme "I can't complain about things (or else I may be in judicial jeopardy)" than not. The election here was a disaster, and not because some group voted one way or the other, that is the wrong way of looking at it. Truth is, it was one election with a predetermined result. The evidence over fraud or at least something very eerie happening to the process is enough to, unfortunately, I must tell, because some certainly deserve the shaming, absolve people from any b...

In which we talk about the multiple dreams... and another idea for a story

Hi guys! Good morning and Happy Saturday! How are you today and how are things going? As usual, I wish you the best and hope your day may be nice. How is the weather? For me, it is fresh, specially in my windy apartment, cozy and dark, in this Wintery day. I drank a HUGE mug of homemade coffee, made by myself, instead of the coffee of the coffee machine, so definitely a stronger kind, but I don't deserve much credit for it, as mom washed the dishes... teamwork, I suppose. I have lots of things, weird things, to share with you guys today! So before I start to divagate here, let's divagate in the subjects of today's post!



Weird dream after weird dream, let me tell you the couple of ones I had recently...
The first one I can't remember too well because it was that crazy, It had iCarly, the underwear of Freddie's mom (what), Toy Story crossing the street, murder buses (busses? I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SPELL THIS WORD) and I also remember being forgotten by my grandpa driving a huge pickup Truck. I also adopted 15 puppies, yes, 15, and they grew in front of my eyes to become teenagers roaming everywhere, and I got forgotten by my grandpa, again, the dogs went about everywhere, and when my grandpa finally came to pick me up he wanted me to drop half of the dogs in the street, what a heartless man! I promise my actual grandpa would never do this. Dreams are weird, but it gets worse...
On this second dream, that I do remember, just don't know how to describe it, I dropped the laptop of this guy twice by accident, of course he got mad at me, and the Karma Gods hit me hard when my former best friend from primary school decides to bully me and he does it hard, grabbing my notebooks and reading the letters I wrote for my friends, and that they wrote me back, stuff that was supposed to remain for myself! The principal got in the classroom, that transformed into an auditorium, and welled at everybody, as I was yelling at the man that was disturbing my peace. He got a warning, but it turns out that's what he wanted, as he, very catholic, wanted to pay a promise he did with the Father of the Church, that he'll get warned in school one more time. He then apologized, and everyone CHEERED him, yes, awful, but then my friend said for every 100 etruscans the world got a greek, which was me, something I found to be very kind of her to say, the auditorium gets another makeup, I meet with other forgotten friendships, and the dream is over. This keeps dragging me back to school for some reason, it has been over for years now! Come on! I'm already phases ahead!
Like I said, I also wanted to share a bit of my story, so I will: I plan on writing this one for Joey again, having him as a character... he wants to shave his beard off to start a new phase in his life, the barber decides to give him the hot towel treatment, and as he does, Joey is transported to another world, one that he discovers when he open his eyes after the procedure is over. Afflicted, he now must find his way home. As you know, I'm very fond of stories in which characters get lost in endless places far away from their worlds of origin, sometimes this is good, sometimes this causes them much trouble and pain, I'm still deciding if I wanna get Monsieur Seals or Geoffrey Ezra into this mess, I'm not sure, maybe I could add some female character, risk myself in a terrain I try to be familiar with but never quite can feel at home.
And well, this post is getting quite big, I guess it's time to stop for today and continue next time, and may next time be very soon! I do wish you the best, dear reader, and I love you!
