Necesito urgentemente algo que leer que me acompanie durante la semana, cada dia todo se pone peor, sino fuera por la paga ya estaria afuera desde hace mucho tiempo, no me queda mas que esperar que las aguas vuelvan a tomar su curso normal.

Este fin de semana he dejado de hacer cosas, se supone que iria al cumpleanios de Sandra, uno de los arquitectos de la universidad o deberia estar fuera de la ciudad descansando con la mujer que ocupa mi mente, Ya me acaba un poco la inactividad del mundo hogarenio, tal vez ya es tiempo de buscar las alternativas nuevas, la gente con quien se pasa uno las horas perdido buscando las respuestas. El yo mio esta aturdido, taciturno y no despierta, la bicicleta que tanto necesito puede ser la solucion, tengo la camara y los ojos bien abiertos para buscar imagenes, sera tal vez que los dias nublosos me ponen con este sentimiento de "infertilidad", vaya termino tan radical sin embargo cuando no produces nada si que se siente uno fuera del ciclo, de pequenio tenia fuerzas para todo parece ser que a mis 28 deberia estar corriendo por ahi, debo tomar mas cafe y dejar de ver tanta television, si continuo asi terminare suicidandome y le dejare una nota postuma al control remoto................

We must be careful. Our lives are changing. Our gods are silent. Our ancestors are silent. A great something is going to come from the sky and change the face of the earth. We must take an interest in politics. We must become spies on behalf of human justice. Human beings are dreaming of wiping out their fellow human beings from this earth. Rats and frogs understand their destiny. Why not man, eh?

--Ben Okri

Ben Okri was born in 1959 in Lagos, Nigeria. He attended Urhobo College, Warri, for a few years and later continued his education privately in Lagos. Okri claims that his childhood has significantly influenced his writing, yet he has not shared many details about his childhood because he believes that it is best explored in his fiction. Instead of providing autobiographical details, Okri prefers to talk about how reading has influenced his writing. He started by reading African, classical, and European myths, and he continued reading from his father's library of the Western classics. Noting many strong similarities between these diverse cultural traditions, Okri developed a world view that combines African and European traditions. His reading also inspired him to begin writing stories and essays while he was still in secondary school. Later, he failed to get a place at a Nigerian university, so he took a job at a paint store and started publishing his writing in Nigerian women's journals and evening papers. By the time he turned eighteen, he had completed his first novel, Flowers and Shadows, and moved to England where he attended the University of Essex. He continues to live, read, and write in London.
