rules

flashbacks of memory to walking down sweat filled days in the streets of Sao Luis. sitting on the porch against the sounds across the bridge. days of awkward interviews, disappointments, challenges, sore legs and coconut water. listening to music within safe headphones with the moon and the starts. sweat-filled shit hangs on the clothesline from the earlier hours. certain songs trigger the time then.

not fun.

not happy.

but endearing.

pushing.

considering going back to Brazil and Projeto da Saude e Alegria. or find a similar project in USA.

and thats that. might be the bandana. or the clothing from Brazil. or the hot sweaty weather. comforting, regardless.

Orwell's five rules of writing:

(i) Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.

(ii) Never us a long word where a short one will do.

(iii) If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.

(iv) Never use the passive where you can use the active.

(v) Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.

(vi) Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.

watched scences from Dark Knight. Joker discussing anarchy and chaos and equality never gets old.
