101. Blogging on with Joey G and Fernando Pessoa.



     "Aren't you sick of sitting up there Joey G watching over all this ridiculous blogging."

    "Yeah, you do go on a bit."

    "Perhaps 100 is enough."

    "No, no. You have to post this one - I'm in it."

    "Get over it - you've been in it before. More than once."

    "That's more than you can say for Fernando Pessoa."

    "Fernando Pessoa?"

    "Remember him? You wrote about him back in November 2011. How you were gong to look for inspiration by dipping into The Book of Disquietude whenever you needed cheering up by his bleak and despairing vision of life. I've been sitting on him all these years, along with Whitman and Nietzsche." 
   
    "Ah, yes. Thought I would take a random dip at some stage when I needed cheering up."

    "So haven't you needed inspiration or cheering up?"

    "Cheering up at times, yes. But I generally get over it. Anyway, just to keep you happy, here goes."

     "What do you make of that Joey G?"

    "Scary. Enigmatic. Weird. Hard to believe you picked that at random."

    "You were watching, sunshine, so you better believe it."

    "You relate to that?"

    "We're a complex multi-faceted creature."

    "Speak for yourself. The only thing multi-faceted about me is my jacket. Can't we go back to something simple? Like your treasured box of memories. What's next?"

    "A Boeing 737 crash at Whenuapai."

    "Right. That sounds fun. Let's box on.

    "Very droll Joey G, very droll."


    "There you are; you are in twice. Happy now?"
