From The Great Man Fernando Pessoa

I’ve never known if it was my sensibility that was too much for my intelligence, or my intelligence that was too much for my sensibility. I’ve always been late, I’m not sure if for the former or for the latter, or perhaps for both, or perhaps it was the third thing that was late
(From, The Book of Disquiet)


“Finally, I will soon be waking from the restless dream that I though was my life”

Go Absurd! Exercise:

Kick a football repeatedly, for 30 minutes, around a public oval while singing loudly the same one song…
