"Selfish"
Other day I was called "selfish." That's funny. Do not consider myself selfish. Maybe I’m kind of individualistic because I just do what I like, but not selfish. I do not consider myself altruistic at all. One has to be really cool to be altruistic. The guy who was born in Christmas was. But I'm not selfish. I can spend a whole night recording blues cds for friends, for example, without gaining anything in return. But I do not lose one minute recording a CD of a song I did not like. So I think there is an etymological confusion there, right?
A few days ago was Christmas. It is a word that derives from the Latin meaning which has been born. It was supposed to be celebrating the birth of Christ. My friend Jorge Cardoso understands much more than I do about it. People have long forgotten the real meaning of this day. I always forget too.
In a moment I'll send some money to my daughter. It has nothing to do with Christmas. She's in need and called me. They tried to rob her yesterday. She did not. My daughter is tough. What makes me even more worried. Sometimes it's good to be afraid. Last Christmas she was with me in the hospital. Today she called me a sore throat and told me that she tried to rob yesterday. These things make a man feel very alone. I have a good document about loneliness that I’m trying to convert to excel, just found this great pdf to excel converter that I will try later.
Today is about joining two hands with a nice guy born with stars that point the way with kids sprawled on the floor watching the girls legs.
Today you might find some friends drinking whiskey and playing some blues sad.That's no biggie. It's just the way God shuffles the cards. I heard that he is not the type that bluff, but you never know what the cards he has.
