This is Carlos, my stepbrother. We use to invoke strange feelings when we are together, talking about the weather and about the wind speed. Carlos can’t smoke, not because health problems, for god’s sake! Carlos can’t hold a cigarette in his mouth, as you can see in the picture. We share a friend, an old friend that just clicked his mouse bottom right in the pixel bottom named “unfollow” and stop to read us. I am more realistic than Carlos. He sure can spell the English better than me, but he is very sentimental! We talk a lot and I tell him that he needs to think about the episode and remember that our friend has acne! And probably he didn’t like the way we announce all the time we have a new picture in our zoo. You see, we have a zoo, not a perfect one, I insist to say, but a decent zoo. Of course there are some animals that are a bit, how can I say, inappropriate to our zoo. We just repeat, ever and ever these animals. Repeating in the sense that we are cloning them, with brand new techniques that we find in the market. This friend, he was very inspirational ten years ago, when we began to collect the animals in our zoo. I remember when he said: “you sure can do a good collection of animals”. Then, something happened and I and Carlos were frozen by an alien entity and our cloned copies got our place in the space-timeline! Believe me, this was not good! I remember the smell of ammonia almost every day when I wake up in the morning. Carlos doesn’t talk much about the experience, but I know that he also remember these dark years! And now this friend, almost a ghost, in the sense that we talked in person just one time, before me and Carlos were frozen, reappeared from the dark lands in the same time we began our unfrozen process. And he smiled, gave us hope and just disappeared again. He has his own zoo and makes efforts to select just the most perfect animals. Crème de la crème pictures that he catches while he travel through the ether. Poor Carlos…
Euclides é um pequeno inseto que libera um odor nauseabundo quando é ameaçado por predadores. Costuma ficar assim, de ponta cabeça, tomando banho de sol no meio do verde. Os mais conservadores costumam rotular Euclides de devasso, porcão, grosseirão e até etrusco! Vejam só que falta de compreensão, Euclides é de boa família, apesar dos hábitos peculiares. Não merece ser erroneamente julgado pelos seus detratores recalcados. Ainda bem que Euclides não liga muito para esses chatos e continua ali, estaticamente apreciando o morno sol de inverno.
The Transmutation of Cloth: Playful moments offer the chance to see past definitions that structure how we think about and see the world. While on a search at a fabric store, looking for material for some other project, I came across a bit of blue material that took hold of me and asked me to move it slowly. It is possible to transform anything and all definitions are constructions of the mind. by Arthur Ganson.
