A couple of days ago, I decided to go with Evula to one of Holland’s main spring atractions… the Keukenhof gardens. Filled with thousands and thousands of blooming flowers of any imaginable color, it was quite a spectacle to see.
But what caught my attention the most, were not the tulips, or the orchids, or anything of the like… it was this Buddhist monk, who’s “lifestyle is shaped so as to support his spiritual practice, to live a simple, happy and meditative life, and attain Nirvana”.
Wikipedia (the new “Holy bible”), tells us that the robes of a Buddhist monk come from “the idea of wearing cheap clothes just to protect the body from weather and climate…. Since dark red was the cheapest colour in Kashmir, the Tibetan tradition has red robes. In the south, yellow played the same role“.
Pay close attention to the fact that they DO NOT mention ANYTHING about the shoes… so our monk decided to follow his vouws in style, with some very cool Pumas that match his ‘raggedy-poor-man’s-robes’
Willie Valdera is my first and so far only attempt at character creation. It was conceived as FifaColombia.com’s mascot and as such, he is an Andean condor (Colombia’s national symbol). His name is a wink at Willington Ortiz and Carlos “El Pibe” Valderrama, the 2 best colombian players of all time.
