the luminous blog

....

... shockingly, some of those links are no longer *live*...

And since we lost the precious image on the sidebar as well 
(even before the code problems became apparent, verily...)
here's our timid attempt at restoration...

... and some luminous music with that...

Blog On, Folks...

Sempre Por O Melhor

A test of endurance, resilience - and creativity! 
IT WAS AN *AUDITION*... sort of!

I made history, in effect, for all intents and purposes - by being there in what is to be the last ever such "training camp" session in the history of LA ROCAMBOLESQUE - aka PHANTASTICUS.

It took place at a "theater" that is truly not it at all - it is, in fact, an old factory subdivided into numerous locales uniformally used for arts and crafts!

Camp de recrutement de La Rocambolesque (division P) pour la saison 2008-2009 - wow, even the DIVISION seemed to be named after ME! (Clue: my last name starts with a P... You all thought it was P for Phantasticus, didn't ya? HA!)

I was the first one there too; and the first to leave too! I was in a hurry, see... More on that in a jiffy!

I got there real early and immediately established myself as a reliable player - the rock upon which the rest of the troupe could rely on - IF I would stick around and play along, that is!

But as it is, most members of the makeshift troupe (save for a precious few - whose names I already forgot! So much for the memory jog exercise we had, early on... Don't ask!) did not realize the HONOR they had to practice their acting skills alongside Luminous (\ô/) Luciano - for a six-hour long session, or whatever it was again... Of course, when one does not know who one is dealing with, it is easy to fall back upon the dreadful, wrongful "first impression" - and since I never smile, never bother to be cordial, since I am Luminous ON THE INSIDE whenever I dabble with social engagements of any sort - it can only be the damnable first impression that prevails, always. Too bad I am not more into customer services practices - eh? Oh wait - I am a certified pro in customer-pleasing, according to my colleagues and mentors--of-the-trade...! I forgot that!

Therefore... I am not forced to smile when I'm off-duty then!
