She's hot

and a philosopher too.

Poverty is...

either destiny or stupidity.

Right.

Destiny or stupidity.

In my case, a bit of both.

My father left when I was 4.

This is the destiny part.

I was watching cartoons on TV.

The set was a house cut in half

so you could see inside it.

I saw a book cover like that.

Will you keep my mail for me?

He didn't get many letters,

it was mostly bills and Junk mail.

I kept everything in a shirt box.

When it got too small

I put it all in a shoebox.

Then in 3 boxes, split

into bills, ads and letters.

One day I was talking

to my fat schoolmate Mairoldi.

I said I didn't think my dad

would come back.

I don't think my dad

will come back.

- Did he go on a trip?

- Yes.

- When?

- 7 years ago.

He started laughing, a lot.

He went blind on one eye.

That's the stupid part.

That was my last day at school.

I got thrown out.

I didn't want

to go anymore either.

While my mom watches soaps

on TVI stay in my room, drawing.

One-Eyed Zack

lives with Granny Doctrine.

"You have to

pay attention in class."

"Pay attention to

what the teachers say."

"If you don't

understand something, ask!"

"Pedro Alvares Cabral discovered

Brazil on April 22nd 1500."

Why?

Duh...

My mom drags her slippers

from the bathroom to the kitchen.

She opens the cupboard, gets

a glass, closes the cupboard...

opens the fridge, gets the

water bottle, closes the fridge...

fills the glass,

only haltway...

opens the fridge, puts the

bottle away, gets the glass...

opens the filter,

fills the glass...

drags her slippers from the

kitchen to the bedroom and says:

"Goodnight, son, I'm going to bed.

TVmakes me so sleepy..."

Goodnight, son. I'm going to bed.

TV makes me so sleepy...

Goodnight, mom.

Then I go to the kitchen,

get something from the fridge...

and go to the living room. I turn

the TVand watch a bit of everything.

I like it better

with the sound off.

It's like a fire,

or a lit up aquarium.

Only the light and the movement.

At 11 I get the binoculars.

A lot of people are still awake.

One thing I've found from

watching the neighbors...

is that fat people

go to bed late.

I don't know why,

it's statistics.

Among the last people to go to bed

there is at least one fat person.

I'd like to know

what music he listens to.

I've discovered

another important thing.

If you want to see something

with binoculars...

you can't switch

between windows.

You have to stay on one window

and wait. It's like fishing.

The most I've seen

was her in undies and bra.

SheJust passed.

I had been waiting for

nearly one hour and she passed.

I think it lasted about...

It was worth it.
