Chapter Twenty Eight: Photos, Art, Julian Assange & Mark Zuckerberg

A while ago, I went to the Museu Oscar Niemeyer in Curitiba.
It's massive.
The architecture, that is. I must admit that Brazilians are greatly surprising me with what they build.
I ain't an architect kind of guy, and must, sadly admit, that I have a limited interest in architecture.
However, that museum is something to witness.
What is amazing is the way it was built, a gigantic platform with no poles to maintain it but on the outskirts.
It's kinda surreal: Museu Oscar Niemeyer

Now, let's be honest.
The museum is filled with terrible painting, poor design, atrocious furniture, and the worst photographs I have seen in more than a decade.
Some of the work there is absolutely outrageously bad.
But, there also was an exhibit on design made by Art students.
The theme was recycled and organic material.
And, the kids are all right!
I mean, it was mind blowing. Excellent. Inspiring. Simply good.
I invite you now for a little tour through my eyes:

Giant cones in the entrance

The Times Magazine, if I am not mistaken, as declared Mark Zuckerberg as the main of the year...

Mark Zuckerberg

Are you kidding me?
This guy is disgusting.
He is an opportunist who, also, "created" a tool which allows all the imbeciles on the planet to let us know their meaningless thoughts, what they are eating, and all the crap that fulfill their lives.
Ok, I admit it, I am harsh and cruel.
But you know what?
So be it.
FB sucks, is irrelevant, and stinks.
Yes, I do use it too, but to my defense, I blame myself and spit on it!
Also, if you watch The Social Network, a pathetically lame movie, you just want to kick Zuckerberg in the ass.
What a bastard!

On the other side, Le Monde has chosen Julian Assange as their man of the year.

Now, don't get me wrong, I am not a huge fan of Mr. Assange, I have my doubts about what's really going on and all that Jazz. But, to me, what he does is more interesting and he has definitely most merit that the previous dude.
This said, let's move on...

To finish, here is a picture of Sabrina I took at Christmas.
Enjoy.

Voila, that's all folks.
Have a happy new year, and I'll talk to you in 2011.

Sincerely,
