Peggy Sue.

In Peggy Sue nobody ever talks, and the jukebox is mute. If Buddy Holly was alive, he would break into the bar as he did in 1957 on Arthur Murray’s Dance Party with The Crickets. The waitress would stand over a table to announce – if you haven’t heard of these young men, then you [...]

Fear.

I think, therefore I’m scared. I’m not scared. I mean scared scared. Cats never think when they jump from a seventh floor. I never do it when I go to my bathroom anymore. What could happend? My flatmate just told me that last year they found a one meter long snake on the toilet of [...]

About Polar Journeys.

In the new century, when distance doesn’t exist, where the net is universal; in the new world, where communication is inmediate and dreams can be achieved; earthlings dream while they are awake.

Paul Eluard wrote it in Capitale de la Douleur: at random everything burns, everything that torments, everything that is used, everything that bytes, everything that kills, but everything that shines everyday is the combination between the man and the gold, is a prisoner look of the earth. Everything in this series of James Gulliver isn’t [...]

Flattering drops.

Julio stares at the window and says: “I don’t know, look, it rains, it’s terrible how it rains. It rains all the time“. Tunes: American girl – Tom Petty & Eddie Vedder Honey bee – Tom Petty
