I wrote this in 2009, when I returned to the office in downtown BsAs after my first vacation on the beaches of Brazil.
It seems that I was a bit unhappy with my lifestyle, and with some desire to continue dancing.
8 years later I can finally say that I am trying a different lifestyle, in which I prioritize enjoyment and work accompanies.
Let's be patient with our learning and with our dreams ![]()

Buenos Aires, Capital Federal, Office in downtown
First day of work after holidays
A group of doubtful intellectuals ... I mean, of doubtful intellectuals, recently fired from the Ministry of Culture of the government of the city of Bs. As. For being overqualified for their position, carried out the following field investigation:
How does the brain of a human being react ...
• whose working period is 350 days a year
• receive 15 days of vacation
• And, with the resources I save in the 350 days,
• travel far from the city to paradisiacal beaches
… When returning to the city to work?
An attempt was made to consult a specimen, after his return from Brazil, Florianópolis, during his first 3 days in the city of Bs. As. With disparate and interesting results:
Day 1. On his first day in the city, between dancing and dancing, with a tone that we do not know for sure if he was Cuban, Portuguese or Mexican, what was understood from his answer was:
- Where can I find boa caipirinha and a Skol beer?
A video of the interview is attached. If a picture is worth a thousand words, the more than descriptive video is overly eloquent.
Day 2. On his second day in the city, guitar in hand, his answer became somewhat more confusing, contradictory, complex, thoughtful, and totally irreproducible. In his answer a strong tendency to humanistic ideals was noted. Deep admiration for the hippie counterculture. Curiosity about eastern philosophy and the history of mankind. Existential doubts were highlighted such as: Does God: serve urban centers with more than 1 million people? or does not have the necessary infrastructure? Are all the subway lines outside your jurisdiction? or is it just the "D"? When Fito says about the side of the road, where the fuck is it? Can it be uploaded to the GPS? He included a dichotomy between: tattooing Che on his shoulder and traveling throughout Latin America armed fighting savage capitalism; or take advantage of his generous forehead with a tattoo of Lennon, Paul, Harrison, Ringo, George Martin, their technicians and all the characters of Sg. Pepper's and enroll in Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's Transcendental Meditation College. But, above all, a mixture of anger, impotence, criticism and misunderstanding for many aspects of his current way of life and that of his loved ones.
Day 3. On his third day in the city, with one hand on the keyboard and the other on the cell phone, his answer was more concrete and definitive:
- They have my eggs on the plate with those assholes, my balls don't inflate me any more, even my laburo balls eh, eh ... send me an email
Conclusion: The human brain is seriously affected, showing some symptoms of a beautiful madness, but it returns with incredible ease to adapt to the "healthy" routine.
