Brasilia - Space Town

Brasilia is not on the radar of many tourists to Brazil. It's hard to reach, far from the coast, and pretty isolated from the rest of the country. But despite being home to some very corrupt senators, the city is a modern design enthusiasts dream come true. In a way the place looks like a movie set, but it's worth the trip. 

Andrew Gabor - Call me

More great work by way of Zach Fletcher. The stuff below is by Andrew Gabor (whom I have not had the pleasure of meeting). Andrew, I could not find you on the internet so if you're out there, call me. I'd love to showcase more of your work. 

Enjoy. 

A plausible finish by Charles Bukowski

There ought to be a place to go

When you can't sleep

Or you're tired getting drunk

And the grass doesn't work anymore

And I don't mean to go to

Hash or Cocaine

I mean a place to go

Besides a death that's waiting

And a love that doesn't work

Anymore.

 

There ought to be a place to go

When you can't sleep

Besides a tv set or a movie

Or a newspaper

Or a novel about a woman

With her clit in her throat.

 

It's not having that place to go

That creates the people in madhouses

And the suicides.

 

I suppose what most people do

When there isn't any place to go

Is to go to someplace or something

That hardly satisfies them,

And this ritual tends to sandpaper them,

Into a dullness where they can relax

With out hope.

 

Those faces you see everyday

On the streets

Were not created entirely without

Thought: Be kind to them:

They have

Escaped.

Vida de Campo

I am slowly fulfilling my destiny of becoming a true country gentleman. Below are pictures of the family spread in Mato Grosso, Brazil: Fazenda Colina Verde. 

Digging up yuca roots. 

Yes, that is El Capitan on horseback doing his best 'patron' pose.
