This may not seem obvious but a bunch of three-year-olds fighting over Patrick McGoohan like a toy isn't what this blog stands for. I didn't pick him off the street, I didn't buy him from a store, he wasn't given to me as a gift.

I waited for him since the day I read my first wuxia novel in primary school. I could barely read when I saw a big pile of books in my dad's room one day. The next thing I knew I was reading about a boy my age chasing after his small goat on the vast Mongolian grassland.

Then he heard a sound he had never heard before, like thunder. It was a battle.

Needless to say, his hero was a general of the defeated army. A man in black on a black horse, who never missed with his arrow.

It feels like yesterday when I was there holding the book like that silly boy holding his goat while watching the battle. I was so slow at reading my dad gave the novel back to his friend before I could finish the first volume.

I only relived that moment once. It was during the opening of The Prisoner.

I’ll be back at my mom’s for holiday so I wish the hater a happy party. As for the rest of the world, there won’t be any party any time soon.

I know some people don't want to coexist with other people online. I'm just sad this comes from a McGoohan fan.

[farmerbebop]

I made a new video, logged onto youtube and learned that some people really hate my videos. And I thought I was going to make another bad joke today.

[farmerbebop]

What I do really doesn't make sense to me sometimes. Why do I have to prove anything when I'm a *check notes* McGoohan fan? Why does it look like I'm crazy or something?!

Anyway, I'm too sleepy I can't think, could only make another poor man's Criterion cover.

There's a Chinese saying that villains in old period dramas often have to hear. "Boundless is the sea of bitterness, turn your head and you shall see the shore". A Buddhism reference.

If I were in a period drama I would be told "Attachment is the root of suffering" many times.

I think no one can be too surprised by my posts after a long time. There's always a part of me in them and I haven't really changed much since childhood.

It's your own experiences and your own interpretations that make this blog interesting. Open-minded and inquisitive, just like a McGoohan fan.

I really want you to know I'm very glad and very grateful for that.

I'm very sleepy but I was like "You can't even make some shitposts?" and now it's 1:22 a.m.

I haven't told you this because you probably won't believe it, but when I started this blog, I wanted to make it into something another person would want to take over one day. Because I don't want it to ever look deserted.

Now, even if I had talked about the weather instead of the Vietnam war, it would never work out that way.

I got inspired into blorbo posting by all the Columbo screenshots I saw. I know if they were not that popular, they wouldn't have reached me. I signed up for a job and the job is making my blog as popular as possible.

But then my bad jokes started to piss people off, I started to lose tumblr polls, my family lore started to take over.

What can I say? Life is short, night is long and one day this blog will look deserted.

Until then, I just want it to look like I'm going to quote some fake lyrics again.

I also wear glasses but everyone on tumblr dot com knows if I get hit, that's because of my bad jokes and not my eyes.

I'm not asking for a lot of money, I just need a little to buy bread and some vegetables for my kids and my family.

I know I talk too much about myself on here but even if I don't, you can still tell that I'm the eldest daughter based on how uncool I am.

Youtube blocks it in the UK again so here's the dailymotion link.

You know the drill, here's the long-awaited Rainer Maria Rilke.

It feels like 90% of my posts look like this and now it's 90.001%.

You can guess how much I slept last night, so I'm going to tell you another story.

By the time I got my first job here, I had learned that nothing here belongs to me. I remember when I read a poem by Rilke on a newspaper for the first time, I started crying. Then I saw my tears on the table. I immediately wiped them away, because I was afraid they would leave traces behind and the landlord would complain if they found out.

That's who I was. Until this day, I still have that reflex.

After I'm gone, some people might remember me as the Farmer Bebop who took her annoying ass too seriously and that might be my last bad joke.

An empty stomach and two PowerPoint slides later: "No bad joke today for my mutuals."

I don't know any Spanish and I can barely speak English so I'm sorry if this is how you discover Los Olimareños' Orejano.
