We sat outside on the patio – and mi amiga y yo philosophized about la vida, mi amiga dice que this is it, there is no other place to go; that childhood is un arrollo to get through; if you have a hero, think again because you might diminish yourself – una de las cosas que esos dice es one of the truths is this is a random universe where we bring meaning to chaos – I believe in quantum physics, ella dice – a light – energy – to have illumination or light – the clarity to bring meaning to whatever situation – meaning to random life – to random and uncertain life – the human endeavor to bring meaning to chaos.
Then we went to eat tapas and head out to the streets for some music and Gran Marnier and dancing. 
AN ESCHATOLOGICAL LAUNDRY LIST: (A PARTIAL REGISTER OF THE 927 (NINE-HUNDRED TWENTY SEVEN) OR WAS IT 928 (NINE TWO EIGHT) ETERNAL TRUTHS?
THIS IS IT!
THERE ARE NO HIDDEN MEANINGS.
YOU CAN’T GET THERE FROM HER, AND BESIDES THRE’S NO PLACE ELSE TO GO.
WE ARE ALL DYING AND WE WILL BE DEAD FOR A LONG TIME.
NOTHING LASTS.
THERE IS NO WAY OF GETTING ALL YOU WANT.
YOU CAN’T HAVE ANYTHING UNLESS YOU LET IT GO.
YOU ONLY GET TO KEEP WHAT YOU GIVE AWAY.
THERE IS NO PARTICULAR REASON WHY YOU LOST OUT ON SOME THINGS.
THE WORLD IS NOT NECESSARILY JUST, BEING GOOD OFTEN DOES NOT PAY OFF AND THERE IS NO COMPENSATION.
YOU HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO DO YOUR BEST NONETHELESS.
IT IS A RANDOM UNIVERSE TO WHICH WE BRING MEANING.
YOU DON’T CONTROL ANYTHING.
YOU CAN’T MAKE ANYONE LOVE YOU.
NO ONE IS ANY STRONGER OR ANY WEAKER THAN ANYONE ELSE.
EVERYONE IS, IN HIS OWN WAY, VULNERABLE.
THERE ARE NO GREAT MEN.
IF YOU HAVE A HEROE, LOOK AGAIN: YOU MIGHT HAVE DIMINISHED YOURSELF IN SOME WAY.
EVERYONE LIES, CHEATS, PRETENDS (YES, YOU TOO, AND MOST CERTAINLY I MYSELF).
ALL EVIL IS POTENTIAL VITALITY I N NEED OF TRANSFORMATION.
ALL OF YOU IS WORHT SOMETHING IF YOU WILL ONLY OWN IT.
PROGRESS IS AN ILLUSION.
EVIL CAN BE DISPLACED BUT NEVER ERADICATED, AS ALL SOLUTIONS BRRED NEW PROBLEMS.
YET IT IS NECESSARY TO KEEP ON STRUGGLING TOWARD SOLUTION.
CHILDHOOD IS A NIGHTMARE.
BUT IT IS VERY HARD TO BE AN ON-YOUR OWN, TAKE-CARE-OF-YOURSELF-CAUSE-THERE-IS-NO-ONE-ELSE-TO-DO-IT-FOR-YOU.
EACH OF US IS ULTIMATELY ALONE.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS, EACH MAN MUST DO FOR HIMSELF.
LOVE IS NOT ENOUGH, BUT IT SURE HELPS.
WE HAVE ONLY OURSELVES, AND ONE ANOTHER. THAT MAY NOT BE MUCH, BUTH THAT’S ALL THERE IS.
I love all of these entries. And now mami – I’m going to be going to our final party here at the hotel and leaving in the morning for New Orleans – and will see you on home turf very soon – for our festival – for Mardi Gras donde vamos a disfrutarnos otra vez en otra lado.
