Crazy Inspiration


Readers Note: It has been a complex months. But today I awoke with an smile on mi mind. enjoy

The most accurate memory that I have is to grab a sheet of paper, a pencil and write those famous words: "Put the spare drink tickets here". I really didn't knew what was I thinking, I only knew that my success was going to be measured not by how many tickets did we got (we got quite a few actually), but how could I was going to break the crude tension that the day gave us.

- I don't know if this idea is going to work - I don't remember the exact words, I only remeber the feeling of defeat on her eyes.

- Let's do it for 5 minutes, if it doesn't work, I'll buy you dinner - It was a long shot, but I was so confident on my strategy, that I didn't need to worry about it.

The first minute passed and our hands were empty.

The second minute passed and we still didn't get any ticket.

On the third minute, a group of asian people gathered around us, read the sign (It was a very fast pace writting, so it was a very complex thing to read), they cut their tickets and gave it to us with an smile. She smiled at me and said:

- You are lucky, the asians always follow the signs - Again, I don't remember the exact words, but in my mind, I agreed with her.

I thought on giving up on that exact moment, I was never going to beat the cultural differences between us.

But on the fourth minute a very funny man approached to us and spoke very loud:

- This is the BEST idea I saw on the entire convention - He told to the people that were with him - We were going to toss the tickets, but your out of the box thinking make me laugh and enjoy a lot, so you won every one of these - And he gave us so many tickets that we couldn't believe our luck.

I saw victory on her eyes. Even when the fourth minute hasn't been ended when I told her: 

- Let's retire and enjoy the treasure.

- There is a minute left... - She didn't want to end the moment.

- Every great moment has to end, even this perfect moment - I took the pice of paper and put on my backpack.

I don't know exactly why I started that crazy moment. 

It was as crazy as hell. 

It was an inspirational moment.

I didn't care if I didn't drink a lot.

I didn't care that we never saw each other again after that day.

It was the moment that my mind showed to me what a crazy moment can be.

And how wonderful it was.
