Christmas message


Please help me spread an anti-consumerist, anti-capitalist message on this christmas.

Don't buy anything.

Recycle gifts.

We all have stuff at home we don't need.

Give them away as presents on christmas.

Bake a cake.

Write a letter.

Write a song.

Make your own gifts.

Your friends will appreciate them more because they were made by you instead of a 12 years old phillipino.

The reason why there are still poor people in the world is because you guys buy lots of stuff you don't need.

And you never seem to have enough, you always want more and more.

Thus contributing to the capitalist monetary system which fuels income inequality.


And makes sure the rich stay rich, the poor stays poor.

And the ones in the middle, like most people reading this, stay in the middle.

Being slaves of the system and working together with the rich to make sure the poor stays poor.

But, If for whatever reason you need to buy something.

Buy organic, so you wont get sick.

Buy locally, from the small family shop instead than the shopping mall or supermarket.

Buying locally produced products also reduces the carbon footprint caused by shipment.

It's also a great time to becoming vegan or vegetarian, in order to spare some pain to your fellow animal creatures as well.

And to the environment.


If we all stop using money the system will just collapse by itself.

Making way to something better.

Hopefully.

El ente ratonero


What does Bruno talks about?

He complains, a lot. Sometimes he talks about religions and complains because they are retarded, sometimes he talks about politics and politicians and complains because they are corrupted AND retarded.

Sometimes he blames the government for his misery. Actually he complains about many things as if he was an old cranky miserable lonely human being.

And sometimes, like today,  he takes some time to talk about the ente, ese ente mendocino, el ente trabajador.
Ese ente ratonero, lo habian visto comerse las palomas y los ratones, los ratones con caparazon.
El ente caravanero, lo han visto con sombrero Y cantando una cancion. Si se va de tiroteos nadie le llama la atencion.

Era un ente callejero, vive en la calle aragon, aragon y trapo viejo, a la vuelta del camaron.

Camaron canino, del camion con frio, leia la senial viajera del atardecer vacio, en una tarde fria, fria y calurosa, miraba la mariposa que aparecio en el camino del tercer desvio.

Una tarde de enero, de enero y abril, el ente se alborotaba, al haber perdido el alfil, en una partida de poker con su amigo don quijote mientras buscaban una particula, particula de higgs boson que se habia perdido en el casco vacio.

Mi experiencia con el ente de verano no ha sido una positiva, el ente de la cancion no ha tenido compasion en demostrar conocimiento para encontrar higgs boson.

El caso del ente, no es negativo, negativos son los exponentes que dictan la externalidad, de un problema muy conplejo que no tiene finalidad.

And that's because of the ente, who's story shall not be told, by any man or woman who's bishop has long been gone.

About ADAM.



Bruno: I have a problem.

Friend: Just one?

Bruno: People look at me weird.

Friend: Which people?

Bruno: On the streets.

Friend: Well, they must have found out about "My little pony: friendship is magic".

Bruno: How would they? I don't think is that.

Friend: Oh, they know.

Bruno: No, but really, why do they are always staring at me, am I that weird?

Friend: No, just a bit paranoid, we're all a little weird though.

Bruno: I wonder when did it all started?

Friend: *start. 

Bruno: Start.

Friend: You mean the weirdness?

Bruno: Yeah, was it in highschool?

Friend: Probably.

Bruno: Or was it because of /b/?


Friend: Yeah, that didn't help.

Bruno: Come to think of it, actually I know who to blame, there were the people from ADAM. Matias, ariel, damian, nestor, and others whose names i have chosen to forget. 

Friend: Remind me what ADAM stands for again.

Bruno: It's spanish for: Asociacion defensa de anime y manga, it was a very very strange place in argentina, were I used to hang out as a teenager. It was cool, except it was not.

Friend: Interesting, so you think that's were it all started. Tell me more about it, for example, how did you end up there in the first place?

Bruno: Alright you're sounding like a psychologist now, bit creepy.

Friend: Anyway..

Bruno: Anyway, it's a long story. It all started back when I was still in highschool, sick and tired of getting bullied at school decided to try and make some new friends with similar interests as me.

Friend: And what led you to break free from the bulling.

Bruno: Mostly it was the last scene of the last episode of evangelion, do you remember?

Friend: It's been more than 10 years, no, I don't remember.

Bruno: Yeah you remember, when Shinji stood up, chair falls backwards, glass shatters, tears in my eyes, I stood up too, tingly feeling, smile, cry. That episode stayed with me till now. Stayed with us until now.

Friend: Right, back to ADAM though.

Bruno: Yeah, so after I watched that I thought I had to find people similar to me, and thought, what are my interests? i wasn't good at anything, didn't like music or anything, just watched tv the whole day, japanese tv...


Friend: You mean, japanese cartoons.

Bruno: Yeah, that was all I had, that was my only interest, so I tried to look for people who like the same things, thought they would understand me.

Friend: Did they?

Bruno: Yeah, well no, sometimes, not really, well it was weird. Before going there I thought I had some  issues, once there i thought 'oh boy?' what did I get myself into? who are these people? 


Friend: What happened?

Bruno: Well before going there I thought I was socially awkward, but these people, ufff... they were the same as me, or worse, so i finally knew what it was like to hang out with myself and understood why i had no friends.

Friend: That's good you had finally found people like you, right?

Bruno: Yeah, so they took me under their wings and into into their basements, they nurtured me and taught me how to play pokemon cards, magic, d&d and many rol playing games and suddenly i found myself knee deep into this underground culture i had no idea it  even existed and suddenly, suddenly I had group of friends, a very weird one, but friends at last. I had people to hang out with, people who called me at home and i could call and talk to. And they broke all the molds.

Friend: How come?

Bruno: Well you know how usually most friends or groups of friends they get together for a few hours once or few times a week, well with this guys we would hang out for at least 2 days in a row, sometimes 3 or 4, no break 24/7, and we would do the craziest things, things you have never even heard of or dreamed of.

Friend: Like what?

Bruno: It's hard to explain, but it was intense. Spending one day with them was like spending a month of a normal person's life and we would usually get together on a friday after school and hang out until monday morning that we had to go back to school.

Friend: So that's when thing started to get weird?

Bruno: yeah, then I broke off that group and started getting into other groups of people even weirder, then i moved to other city and met even more weird people, it all added up.

Friend: And what  happened to those people?

Bruno: I've got no idea, probably they are still there.

Friend: Wouldn't you like to get back in touch with them?

Bruno: Well, it's been so many years and we have all changed so much I guess, have no idea what could happen, maybe they grew tentacles or something. But you know, that time in argentina it was just a stage of my life, like many others, usually every country is a different stage and I feel like I have to leave them behind in order to keep moving forward in life. I always remember what Robin said 'the future is scary, but you can't run back to the past just because it's familiar'.

Friend: So you wouldn't like to hang out with them again in like lets say 10 years from now?

Bruno: Why not? You know after that. I've played rol playing games and card games in other countries with other people, and it was very very different from my experiences in argentina. People I've played with in other countries were just normal people, with jobs, friends and families, no mental disorders and normal life outside the few hours we got together to play usually once a week, but people in argentina were unique in the sense the game was our lives, and those things stay with you forever, to this day I still remember the names of some of the characters we used to play as. We were even creating our own games and rules, the creativity levels in that group were way over 9000.

Friend: That sounds indeed quite intense. Are you ok?

Bruno: Yeah, just got a bit a excited.

Friend: You're not crying are you? 

Bruno: Not today no.

16 Reasons to pee in a bottle


When you need to go you need to go, that's a fact, so today I bring you a list of practical excuses for those times when heading all the way to the toilet is just not an option.

1_ It's too cold outside: 

Have you ever been to -45 degrees? No? Me neither. But I have a friend from Russia that has, and he told me it's too cold out there and he just can't be bothered to get off bed, so he always keeps a handy plastic bottle next to his bed for when nature calls. And so should you.

2_ The bathroom is just too far: 

Do you have a very big house? No? Well, doesn't matter, because you don't need to live in a castle to justify peeing in a bottle, a flight of stairs will do just fine, or long hallway. Remember, if it's not in your room it's too far, so you need the bottle.

3_ If you go then you will not be tired anymore: 

Because the act of getting up will put your whole body in motion and ready to rumble, the change of temperature between your bed and the outer world is enough to keep you up all night after you come back from the toilet and you can't afford that because you have that big meeting at work tomorrow, remember? Better not risking it, play it safe, use the bottle.

4 _ The bathroom floor is too cold: 

Because winter came, and you forgot to buy some slippers to wear in the bathroom and now it's too late, winter is half way gone already so you missed your chance to enjoy the sleepers. But don't worry it was a mistake, it can happen to anyone, you're only human remember? Next year you'll get some new sleepers at the beginning of winter like it should be, this year better stick to the bottle.

5 - There are guests in the house: 

It seems your flatmate has some some friends over, but you are just not feeling all that sociable today, you don't want to introduce yourself and meet new people, and answer all their stupid questions about work or study. Not tonight, tonight you just want to pee (In a bottle) and go to bed.

6_ Is not your house: 

OK, picture this, you've met a girl, she seems to like you for some reason, so she invited you over to meet her parents. You don't want to make a mess in her bathroom, what if you miss the toilet? You don't want to pee all over her floor. Better wait for the mother to go to the kitchen to bake some cookies, check there are no hidden cameras, find a dark corner, take the empty bottle you are always carrying in your backpack for an emergency like this one and do what it needs to be done for this relationship to work. Remember, your grandkids will thank you for this.

7- You are watching and interesting documentary on whale reproduction: 

Did you know that blue whales have the largest penises on Earth? When its aroused it can get as big as 12 inches in diameter and ten feet in length, you know what that means? No? Why not? Oh, yeah, you're not from the US so you're not familiar with the retarded imperial measurement system?
Don't despair! what I meant was that the whale's gonna need a really really big bottle, and so will you because tonight you're not getting off the couch.


8_ It's too late to flush the toilet: 

Unless you come from the future (or from the past), our toilets this days make this terrible noise when you flush them and It usually wakes everyone up, and pardon the pun when i say they could get pissed-off.

9_ You are very afraid: 

It's too dark and you have just watched and horror film, that one with the zombies and the serial killer, you don't want to go all the way to the toilet by yourself, at night. What if you get murdered? What if you get raped? What if you get murdered AND raped? Why taking the risk? Pee in the bottle

10_ There is someone using the bathroom: 

Why they always have to go at the same time you have to go, you guys should start taking turns for it, next time you can discuss the matter thoroughly, this time though better use the bottle

11_ The toilet is out of service

Not just out of service, I'm pretty sure I saw some plumber coming in to fix some stuff, you don't want to bother him while he's working, you don't want to be in his way. I know he probably doesn't even mind, but it's just polite to wait until he's done, and actually you are pretty lucky because there' happens to be an empty plastic container right here, you can use until the man finishes his work.

12_ The bathroom is haunted:

You know you've been hearing some weird noises lately, what are they? Ghosts, aliens, monster? It could be anything really. We don't know what's out there, what we do know is that he's hiding in the bathroom, waiting to do something really really bad to you, better using the bottle this time.

13_ Because of a medical problem:

Have you broken your ankle and its to painful to walk? No? Stepped on a Lego? Maybe you felt dizzy when you stand up, do you have asthma and don't want to get too excited? Headache, depression, broken nail? Anything will do, you know what to do.

14_ You are single: 

Because you know when you get a girl she may not like this little habit of yours, so this are actually your last years of freedom, might as well enjoy them because after this you'll probably be have to get up in the middle of the dark cold night and, half asleep, hike your way to the bathroom like an animal. Enjoy it while it lasts, bottle.

15_ It's too dangerous: 

The truth is there are a lot of dangerous objects on the way to the toilet. You don't want to hit your little toe with the sharp edge of a wall or furniture. You don't want hit your forehead with the frame of the door. You don't want to trip, break your spine and spent the rest of your life on a wheelchair.. For your safety and that of those around we strongly recommend you peeing in the bottle.

16_ Just can't be bothered, enough said.
