 It is great to meet you, Fabio.  I love accomplished Brazilians and
 try to fill my life with any kind of Brazilian I can find.  I also
 try to drink milk from a bag as often as I can.

 Do you like apricots?  I like mediterranean apricots only.  But I am
 willing to entertain new forms of apricot, as they become available.

 I appreciate your remarks, but I have a hard time believing that
 anyone would like my art.  I will definitely die without recognition
 and few will ever see the work I do.  But I like it that way a lot!!

 One of the worst things a person can get in life is recognition.
 But a scalp rash is very, very bad as well.  I have had some serious
 scalp rashes and I also have thrown up blood quite a few times along
 the way.

 I'm afraid I am currently in hiding, my friend Fabio.  As you may
 know, I am operating as a freelance professor right now.  I am
 unaccredited, unlicensed with an ill-advised curriculum.  There are
 no international laws protecting freelance professors from
 imprisonment and deportation, so am I forced into hiding.
 Fortunately, I have found a rather remarkable hiding place which is
 quite safe and has very colorful wallpaper and animal pelts.

 I also cannot do interviews unless they are submitted in
 handwriting.  I also cannot respond to interviews in anything but
 handwriting.  There are several reasons for this rule, but the
 foremost reason is that I like making people do unnecessary and
 frivolous things.  And forcing interviews to be handwritten is way
 too unnecessary and frivolous for me to pass up, oh Fabio can't you
 see that!!

 Anyway, it is a pleasure to know you.  I hope a free cart of food
 and cheese and DVDs and satin robes and super-long sofas comes
 crashing into your house today!!  It will all be free and courtesy
 of a steep incline somewhere at a higher elevation.
