Is good to be back
New title, same old penchant for drama.
I didn't find my old title cloying, and the new one, still about the same authoritative thingy, is more ancient, like what I will be next month.
Let me have the liberty of assumptions. I assume that everybody's asking what happened to me during the last few months of silence. I had issues. I had, well, drama. I've been published, was to be published and didn't get published. The Palanca rush I never felt as on the deadline I was 30,000 feet up in the air. I've travelled and untravelled. I've been better than most of you and I've been through the worst too.
I spent a night in Paris and made the airport my hotel. I smoke half a pack a day now. I got curious. I closed deals. I will be in Caracoa 2006 and A Time for Dragons. I've been rejected by Ideomancer and Silverfish. I made poetry out of a Taiwanese bathouse (the, you know, decent kind) and clouds that look like pools of semen or mammary glands.
I finally received my Silver Elite NWA mileage card. I was supposed to fly to Berlin the week after Paris but my boss beat me to that. I found talking about travels abroad pretentious, but proceed talking about them anyway.
I bought a domain that is sitting idly for 6 months now. I had bouts and doubts on the sincerity of blogging.
I admitted I am a pathological liar and made more lies. Made more secrets. Made even more money, though not necessarily in that sequence.
I've been searching for the perfect car.
I signified my stand against self-righteous organized religion and I glorified paganism.
I have this illusion that I am the virtual lovechild of Jing Pantoja-Hidalgo (voice momma) and Martin Amis (grammar daddy) with Dean as my plot godfather.
Or that I will be.
If you thought that the number in the title is the name of the movie, you are right. I so wanted to see the word sutras every now and then plus a descriptor which defies any criterion.
If you ask why, or if I assumed you asked, it's nothing.
