Have you ever wondered how someone gets to the extremes of certain behavior? How someone becomes anything that is considered weird by everyone else around them? When is it exactly that they cross that fine line? Sao Paulo is full of them as I imagine any other place. People walking around talking to themselves, shouting at others, making strange faces.
You think they woke up one morning and decided to freak out sporadically while walking in the street? Imagine the hardship they must have gone through. The systematic torture of being in ones head for whatever reason, the loneliness, day after day, night after night, through months and years that would render and twist your mind in such a fashion in which you dont care what you do or how you behave. You no longer have the ability to connect and interact in anyway with your kind.
The indifference, lack of purpose, life force, will, belonging. how utterly lonely it must feel to stand in the street and scream while everyone walks by you pretending not to hear you. And the louder you scream the more invisible you become! If you were in a deserted island you would know that u’re alone and be ok with it, but to be among thousands of people and declare your existence as loud as you can without a single acknowledgment!!?!! If u ever see me in the street lingering either take me home and care for me or just wink, just dont walk by.

I have extreme behavior patterns for sure
BTW I love the Little Prince… maybe I should go reread it haha.
This blog made me think of one of my favorite Mel Gibson movies: Conspiracy Theory. Did you ever see it? He is definitely a person way over in an extreme, but after ‘hanging out’ with him during the movie, you find yourself identifying with him. There is a lot to think about here!
its true what you said about the extremes behaviors
propz
I loved the new look of your xanga!!!
RYC: that is my little secret!! Ahahaha
I agree with you sheila, extreme behaviors, we never know what’s going on in other people’s mind. props! you always have the good blogs ^_^ aighty lata!
[ [ your always so thoughtful..he he it's me lyric_freak giving you more props, lata! ] ]
it is how others judge you and how you judge yourself that invoked a weirdness…truth to yourself makes all people understanding in the end…
Most of the humans being behavior are really very complecated of understanding…. But, Thank God, there are still the ones who always do their best in order to see a nice and happy simile in your face..
Letting you know, that the new look of your Xanga is simply enchanting..
This is beautiful and shows so much compassion of spirit. I’m so glad I dropped in for a look just in time to read this particular entry. Infinite Blessings

bombay is another one of these places!!!:(
HAPPY WEEKEND!!
Yeah, we tend to ignore things like that, we tend to ignore people that acts crazy or something like that. But we never stop to think or try to figure out what is the reason to this crazy behavior, we just think this person is crazy. We don’t even think of someone that is really disturbed because that would be analyzing to much.
Sometimes I do feel like screaming in the middle of the street. Hoping that someone will notice me, and my dispair. But I don’t have the guts because they will not understand me, they will think I am crazy.
Have you ever seen the City of Angels? There is a part where Nicolas Cage is in the Library listening to other people’s minds and there is this girl that says something like, “I should just scream, what if I just screamed?” and Nicolas Cage slightly laugh and smile.
That was a really funny part, even though you might not laugh out loud, there is a part of you that laughs inside because we all sometimes just can’t stand something that is happening and we want to just scream and see if that makes things go away. Well it doesn’t but it does makes you fell better and more relaxed. Sometimes I think everyone should scream once in a while.
Sorry for the long comment!
