stories from costa rica

inside - Doing some interwies for a friend that is getting her Ph.D. There are several things that have affected me recently but those interviews were awesome. In Costa Rica thins are getting so fucked up and what is worse is that noone seems to care, I mean shit is going on here, a lot of corruption, rapes, racism, discrimination against women and gays is increasing so much that I would dare to say that is very dangerous to go out after 9Pm. This whole thing is affecting my inside so much. I didnt really know a lot of the things that are going on here before I did those interviews. After now I just wish I never have kids.
outside - Rain. I mean its been raining so much lately that doing whatever turns out to be a very hard job, even waking up.
future - I dont see it that different, I mean, do you remember 1984 by Orwell, well, we can say a lot is going to change. We are at a point of transition, 4 years to the end of the millenium, and nothing has change so hard, cars are not flying yet and we havent gotten to Saturn. There are so many thing that we have to take care of before we start talking about life in a hundred years, I mean Orwell did it, Verne did it, and somehow it seems to me that even when they really got a point they didnt actually were so right in describing us, I mean we are the future of them. Would you actually look at yourself right now and tell me that in a hundread years from now life is going to be better or worse, how can you do that? First, lets fix this mess and then lets thing about the future.
