My Inferno

My inferno

Sometimes I feel I’ve reached the lowest level possible. To me, that is a place vacant of all light, surrounded by nothing but roaring thunders, bellowing winds and infuriated waves, all sparked off by the wrath of the Gods Themselves.

There … not a living soul will save you
There … freedom is forbidden
There … the cruel being that you are vanishes
There … you’re emancipated only when you’re restored to the absolute infernal form

That’s what I jotted down exactly 10 years ago.

My friend’s ugly girlfriend

Back in university, a good friend of mine, Faris, dated, what we had all agreed on, the ugliest girl we’ve ever met. I know this sounds mean, but she was really all that.

Why did he date her then if she was all that, you’re wondering? WELL TAKE A WILD GUESS! … Because she was filthy rich … and obviously, he wasn’t.

But what was fitting more than anything else was her laugh. She made a snort-like sound whenever she laughed, which was sure to drive anyone mad, a laugh that added to the overall hideousness of the image. Trust me when I say that the ugliest visions you’re getting right now won’t come close to half the real thing!

More on Maradona

Just to clear any doubts and to nip them in the bud.

I realize it’s a big deal to meet Maradona. He’s a legend and all, and to the majority of us he’s the best soccer player ever! But that doesn’t mean that he doesn’t meet people in his life, especially if it’s for business!

So yes, I have been extremely fortunate to meet Maradona, I got to spend time with him, his ex-wife, his daughter and her boyfriend. I’m so proud of it and they were two of the best days of my entire life!

Through his interpreter, we talked, we exchanged views, he even talked about politics, we took photos together and what touched me the most is that after he went back to Argentina his publicist called me to thank me with Maradona next to him. Maradona then took the phone and said something long, but the only thing I understood was: "thank you".

And now I’ll be posting some pictures that the world will see for the first time. YES, they have never been published before! EVER!!

The one with Maradona

I really, REALLY, can’t get over this. Did you guys watch the incredible Maradona-like Messi goal? Did it give you flashbacks of Maradona’s goal (Goal of the Century) in 1986 against England which led Argentina to the world cup title?
