Port Vila, Vanuatu Islands 27th March, 2008
Hello Friends, My name is Lorenzo. I’m a ten-year old canary bird from Vanuatu Islands located in the heart of Melanesia, South Pacific Ocean. I live with my guardian, father (whatever you want to call him), Ted in a beautiful downtown cottage in the capital city, Port Vila. Just for you to know, I had four years of homeschooling thanks to Ted.
“Power is the only thing that matters in this world. Things like mutual respect and mercy are just delusions for the weak. Today the United States is very hostile towards many countries, but people around the world still respect it because it is a superpower.”

(I thought of starting of with a quote to look smart, so I did. However you might find the source not possessing enough authority. This is to demonstrate to you the great difference between your (and f40racer’s) authority and the United States authority, as in that you are insignificant in the shadow of significant complex entities such as the US) Living in this shadow for some time, being quite insignificant, you probably have realized that your actions are based on a form of a logical system=REASON. For example when you are hungry, you try to acquire some food to satisfy your want (or need) for food. In order to do just that you might decide to go to Musmani to buy a doughnut, or in the case that you don’t have any money you might decide to go to the cafeteria for fruits. However, you could also decide to take someone else’s doughnut from the fridge, and consume it with out having to pay for it, nor having to walk all the way to the cafeteria. This seems to be the most rational choice. So why doesn’t everyone just take each others food?
With papers to publish and mathematics to teach, Professor Villarino should be in a lockdown. Instead, he’s having a candid conversation with Lenard Lim about how it feels like to be the enigma of the school.
So, give us a short biography of yourself please.
Ok. My name is Mark Villarino. I was borned on the 20th of December, 1940 in Los Angeles, California. I lived my entire life in LA – attending grammar school, high school and eventually UCLA. I also did some graduate work at UCLA. While I was there, I joined the army and went on active duty for 3 years in Germany. After my military service stint, I came back to the states to finish up my studies. However, as bad luck have it, lets just say, that marriage difficulties interfered with my education. I left the US for Latin America in 1969. I worked in Colombia for 2 years, before working in Panama, where I became the first ever foreign professor invited to work at the University of Panama. Of course, I did not know this until I went there. I then found my way to the Universidad de Costa Rica (UCR), and began working there since October 1974. I have been there ever since. In 1993, I was given tenure. I hold a degree in mathematics from UCLA, and also a licenciatura from UCR in 1973.
The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry. The sound of people performing calisthenics (at 1 a.m.) had plagued me for weeks. They also possessed a penchant for what might be described as elevator music — that is, if the elevator broke loose and killed all its passengers. Not surprisingly, when some of these people left for the Holy week my spirits began to soar.
"The things I'll do!" I cried gleefully. "Sleep for hours at a stretch! Clean my room! Read!" But I had spoken too soon. Some devious people were still around, switching on reggaeton as a pithy reminder that evil is always and everywhere an insoluble phenomenon. Scarred for life, the sound of “driving drum-machine track which was derived from a popular Jamaican dancehall rhythm” now sets off a Pavlovian response involving a mental manifestation of a Kerouac-esque journey on the road, perhaps to Sin Ci… I mean, Cahuita… that is, if I can navigate the labyrinths of the 700 metres from the non-existent-mango-tree or 500 metres from that place maze.
