Apocalypse Redux


h1 Posted 2 years ago around lunchtime by oso

I’ve been having insane, intense, vivid, and long-lasting dreams every night for the past week or two. And it’s not like I’m the guy who remembers his dreams. Hardly ever.

Gustavo and I have been feeling nostalgic lately. HP’s got a case of the yesterday blues so bad he checked out Biz Markie (”oh baby, you … you got what I nee-eed. But you say he’s just a friend, you say he’s just a friend”) at a downtown club the size of my living room. [...]

Bombs away in Bombay (formerly Mumbai)

Floating on the Silence that Surrounds Us


h1 Posted 2 years, 1 month ago in the wee hours by oso

This post is overly descriptive and flowered with sentimentality and exaggeration. Unless you’re a sucker for insignificant logorrhea, I suggest you skip it. Next post will hopefully be useful, interesting, and explain why I was in Brazil in the first place.

It’s 11:15 a.m. and I’m in an air-conditioned mall. I know, right? Rio de Janeiro [...]
