From 300 to 500

Juan...

Pablito what a surprise

How are you?

Jos Luis, Ricardo

Jos Luis is the one that organized this

Ah, How much is the ticket?

Keep quiet that today it's on me

Pablo is a writer and some day

he will write the story of my life

Won't you, Pablo?

Do you want to go to change?

OK:

Go with him

Hello

Everyting OK?

Can I?

Yes

What, you won't share?

Really?

You, Juan

Sheriff

And that guy?

Martn?

He is one of Bez lovers

He's very well

Sort of

I've been with him once

But he's not your type

Why?

Maybe in a couple years

maybe he will turn

a little more interesting

Maybe you like him for yourself?

Don't you know the sheriff at all?

I'm gonna go round to take a look

In this plane we found three negative states

this is crazy

Take, open it

Do you have Martn's number?

No, I don't have Martn's phone number

But if you want

I can give you his email address.

The glasses?

Down there

Pablo, you know that

the sheriff

doesn't like this things, do you?

it's ok sharing lovers,

as long as he is present

but, he shouldn't find out

What will you tell me?

That he was in jail, that he beated his wife?

that whole story?

That's what they say.

How did you know?

Anyway, he doen't need to find out

As far as I know,

Martn is interested in guys about 50 or older

It's OK, if you don't want,

just don't give it to me and that's it

Ough, OK, Pablito, OK Pablito

I'll look for my notebook

and i'll give you the email address

But, do you have a way to send it?

Yes, yes, I'll manage

OK, write it down before I regret

I'm already regreting

- Come on

- Do you have...?

Yes

masterinboots,

boots from the english word boots, double oo, t, s

masterinboots@top.com

Where do I plug the cable?

Anywhere

It doesn't connect

I'm coming

That smells good

What?

A great smell is coming from the kitchen

Try it, tell me if it's OK

It's spicy, isn't it, I overdid pepper

No, it's OK, it's hot, but tasty

Lacks some salt, there it conected.

It obeys only your commands

It's slow, you have to wait

Whom are you writing to?

To Martn

Who?

Martn. A guy I met

at the leather club party

You didn't tell me anything!

Didn't tell you?

No

No, because nothing happened yet

OK, hurry up

that dinner will be ready in ten minutes

"Master, I allow me to write you

to tell you that I need discipline..."

"Slave

"Your deductive logig works pretty well.

"I'd love to have my boots real shining.

When you call me (798 0106),

you will introduce yourself saying: I'm your slave, sir"

Hello

I'm your slave sir

Who?

I'm your slave, sir

Hi, how are you doing?

Longing to be at your feet

OK, OK, but first a few questions

Who gave you my address?

A friend

A friend who?

Juan

Juan. Juan the hyena?

Yes

Yes what? Yes sir!

Yes sir

Are you alone?

Yes

And how are you?

Are you lying down, in the bed? How are you?

I'm on my feet

On your feet, very well, now on your knees

Yes

Told you on your knees! Are you?

Yes, yes, yes sir

Yes sir, very good

Now take care of my boots

I'm not listening to you! I'm not listening

OK, stop it.

We'll meet next Thursday in a bar near Retiro

How do I recognize you?

Actually, we've already met

You are Pablo, from the leather club. Aren't you?

Yes

How did you do the other day?

Fine, but I would have loved getting those whipping

Ah! You like to spy on people

A little

I'd like to have you here now,

tied up to a tree

How I wish I were there!

Where are you?

in the backyard,

enjoying a bit of the hat whether

I don't care how far we are. I can go!

No, no, dont. I live with my parents

Ahh!

Well, but I'm going downtown on Thursday anyway

I'll be free at about 10

We can meet if you want

Yes, yes, yes, whatever you like

OK, hold on

that I'll go find something to write

OK:

AZT, three in the morning, two at night

five

each twelve, eight and eight

nine and nine

eight and eight

Do they call it coctel to make it attracktive?

That one imagines a delicious nectar

in a crystal glass with two cherries?

Just seeing the DDI tablet get me nauseous

Yesterday I waited 15 minutes

untill it completely got disolved

I tried to drink it with different sodas and juices

to make it more pleasant

But I think it dissolves quicker in water

It's funny, but I love the AZT tablets

They are just like a 90's masterpiece

A riding unicorn welcomes me

October 9th

The appointment date finally came

Today I woke up early

ready to start a new life

I'm tired of suffering because of my weak health

I decided to start with a macrobiotic breakfast

That I took form a naturist magazine

I want to keep a healthy diet,

feel strong.

I went to a dietitian store

and bought drinks in the supermarket

I arranged, cleaned, and shined things

and even got my aunt out of the apartmtment

Then I prepared a Valeriana and Quirquincho tale tea

a mixture that had already proved good before,

helps to make easier to wait and calm anxiety

while estimulates sexual arousement

Good

Do you live alone?

Yes, sort of

Have a seat

Would you like something to drink?

Coke, or vodka or...

Or what?

Or whisky

No. Vodka, Vodka

Great

OK, I will turn on...

It's hot, isn't it?

What's up?

What do we do?

Eh?

Bring something

- Where do I change?

- Over there

When I come back

I want tho find you there

in the corner

Yes, sir

If he were thinking about me

as much as I do think about him

he would have called me several times

I'd like to get out

to buy something to eat

But if he calls me while I'm out?

Is this love?

I even feared for this diary

At least it's a relief I can go on

as long as Martn doesn't call me

And I hurry up because I suspect

that if I fall in love

I wouldn't be able to go on writing this

that tries to be, on top of everyting,

a diary about the seach for love,

lost of love, of desire

and fear to the death.

What am I writing?

Pure bullshit!

I don't know what else to write

in order to distract me

Hi, Pablo, this is the sheriff

I have something for...

Hi

Hi, Pablito

How do you do?

Wanting to see you

Yes, I have a lot of work these days

And what were you doing right now?

Told you. Working

You could tell me something more

Something wrong with me?

No, No

No, sorry

I'm translating an article for a french magazine

Yeah? What is it about?

Some stupid thing

Some instructions for getting a boyfriend

A female magzine, for me, for you...

No, not for me, Pablito, but sounds interesting.

And? Did you met someone lately?

No, I told you, I have a lot of work

On top of that, I'm a bit sick

I think I'm going to bed now

If you want I can do some treatment to you...

Do you?

You could also rest a little from work

No, really, I've got to finish this for Friday

Really

It's a pity, because I wanted to show you

some stuff I brought from the trip

And I bought you a present
