Life: A Big Mexican Soap Opera
Following the tradition of the great Mexican television classics, which, in truth, no one saw, but still rule the collective imagination of an emotionally withdrawn society, Mariana, The Miserable One, presents us in her Life: A Big Mexican Soap Opera, the fundamental cornerstones for life to happen. Thus, ahorse on a steak and with an egg in her hand, Mariana gallops endlessly into error, studying the probabilities of escaping to an endurable happiness that will put an end to her epic ride.
Observer by the work and grace of miserable occurrences, she soon realised the tragedy inherent to the combination of bread with butter and tequila in the same sentence. Foreeing in this conclusion the threat of the televisual chaos, and before she had to start thinking in Portuguese and express herself in English and Spanish, Mariana decided to share with us a set of percentile recommendations issued from her Beckettian experiences (100% error = 100% error). Yes, because in times of crisis, emotions are difficult to digest (that explains the tequila), and let there be only a miserable one, Mariana.

90% chances to get hurt but survive anyway
80% water, 20% drama
Life: sex and suffering anytime
In the end we can all drown our sorrows in margaritas
Sometimes tequila is the solution
50% chances to get confused with people
