Philip era feliz.

De la misma manera que el tejedor iba tejiendo su dibujo sin otro fin que la satisfacción de su goce estético, debía vivir el hombre su propia vida; y si es necesario creer que las acciones no dependen de nuestra voluntad, nada impide considerar la vida como un dibujo. Pero no existe en ésta ni necesidad ni inutilidad: sólo la satisfacción personal. De los múltiples acontecimientos de la vida -acciones, pensamientos, sentimientos- se podía hacer un dibujo lineal, complicado o artístico. Y aunque el libre albedrío no fuera otra cosa que una ilusión, un fantástico juego en el que las apariencias estuvieran entretejidas con reflejos lunares, no importaba gran cosa. En el curso de la vida -río sin principio que corre hacia un mar irreal-, partiendo de la inutilidad de la existencia, un hombre podía encontrar satisfacción admirando los variados hilos que forman el orbe. Había un dibujo -el más frecuente, bello y perfecto- según el cual el hombre nace, crece, se casa, trae hijos al mundo, trabaja para ganarse la vida y muere. Pero había otros, complicados y magníficos, en los cuales la felicidad no formaba parte de ellos y el triunfo no era alcanzado. Algunas vidas, como la de Hayward, eran interrumpidas cuando el dibujo se hallaba todavía incompleto, pero ahora se consolaba de ello, pues sabía que la cosa carecía de importancia. Otras, como la de Cronshaw, ofrecían un dibujo difícil de observar; era necesario cambiar de punto de vista y desterrar la vieja regla para encontrar justificación a una vida semejante.
Deterrando de sí su anhelo de felicidad, Philip pensó en desterrar asimismo su última ilusión. Su vida le había parecido horrenda cuando la medía pensando en la felicidad, pero ahora le parecía poderla medir con otro rasero. La alegría importaba poco, lo mismo que el dolor. Uno y otra formaban parte, así como los demás detalles de la vida, de la composición del dibujo. Por un instante le pareció estar por encima de las vicisitudes de su existencia y pensó que éstas no podrían atormentarle ya como antes. Cualquier accidente que ahora le ocurriera no significaría para él otra cosa que un movitvo más que añadir a la complejidad del dibujo. Cuando llegar al fin, experimentaría regocijo en verlo completo. Aquel dibujo sería una obra de arte, no menos bella por el hecho de que él solamente conociera su existencia. Y con su muerte dejaría de existir.
Philip era feliz.

Esteban...
Sin mucha ilusión abrí el explorador de Google y escribí la palabra blog, seguida de su nombre. ¡Aleluya!. Por aquí lo encontré. La suposición no era tan errada: si este señor escribe novelas, tiene menos de 60 años y no vive en La Habana, debe tener un blog.
Ahora lo esculco y veo que no publica nada desde diciembre... espero que no sea usted un padre irresponsable como tantos que abandonan los blogs luego de encarretar a los lectores.
Nada. Ya me alargué.
Soy colombiano.Paisa, para más señas (aunque prefiera no ejercer esa condición), hago canciones y vivo en Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Anoche, entre carcajadas y nostalgia terminé de leer I love you putamente.
Me gustó muchísimo.
La disfruté.
Me hizo usted reír no pocas veces.
Nada.
Para eso lo busqué, para agradecerle la gentileza.
¡Qué bueno que lo encontré!

Un gran abrazo.

3.) Every card poses the same chance or game odds of winning at a game of online bingo. Hence, if you play with more cards, you are increasing your game odds and winning chances.

Your aim would be to cover the prescribed pattern with the bingo letters, by coordinating the letters and numbers called. The patterns can be anything like, u shape, t shape, etc, though it usually is horizontal or vertical. As soon as you get the pattern, you should shout bingo and you get the prize. In case there are others who shouted at the same time as you, the prize will be shared among all winners.

So I pulled out the old credit card -- bought myself a [url=http://www.ordio.com.au/products/Fatman-iTube-ValveDock-Carbon-Edition-2.html]Fatman iTube Valve Dock Carbon Edition[/url] and I am very glad to report that I am pleasantly surprised. I actually listened to one at a friend's house several months back and just couldn't get that sound out of my head because it impressed the heck out of me. I searched everywhere for a great deal and finally found it at [url=http://www.ordio.com.au]Ordio[/url] in Westfield Bondi Junction. I called them first and asked every question I could think of and everything was answered to my satisfaction so I went ahead and made the purchase. Dispatch was surprisingly fast. Everything was as it should be. I'm pretty darn happy and I'm playing it right now. Not sure if they dispatch outside of Australia but you won't be sorry if they do.

Outstanding...

Derek
