REAL DAYS : THE ZENON INTERVIEW — by Christos Grigoriou
A: Are we ready to start?
Z: You should be asking this question to yourself.
A: Yes, I’m ready so let’s start. First of all thank you for your time and for this interview, Mr. Zenon.
Z: No Mr. please, just Zenon. Titles just don’t belong to my esthetics.
A: Where does the name Zenon come from? Is it your real name or a nickname?
Z: My real name of course. I find it to be a very common name, don’t you?
A: No, not really. Are you baptized?
Z: Probably in blood but I don’t really remember. Long time ago and I tend to forget the past.
A: Forget or erase?
Z: Ask my mind. I’m not responsible.
A: Baptized in blood… that sounds very cheekily satanic…
Z: Maybe it was red wine… Barolo… I don’t imply anything about satan. Who really cares about him, except for the virgins, I am more important than him.
A: Your feeling that you are more important than satan gives me the feeling that you believe there is one.
Z: Well, he’s just an ugly guy that church made up to represent bad. Let him be! It suits a lot of people.
A: I guess that you are not religious.
Z: Religion is the real satan or devil, however you wanna call him. But enough with this nonsense. I thought you were interviewing me.
A: Of course… I can’t help but notice the way you are dressed.
Z: Dressed? I thought I was naked. Interesting, tell me exactly what you see.
A: Well you have a black tight skirt on, black boots with gold sole, black shirt and a blue made to measure tailored jacket.
Z: Hmmmm… the so called avant garde look of these days. I promise that I came here naked.
A: But I can’t see any skin….
Z: Don’t worry, it’s just a projection of your expectations. I’m really naked here and feeling very comfortable… if only the heating was a little bit higher, but no complaints.
A: Are you suggesting that I have illusions?
Z: No. It’s just the fact that your mind is flood with reality. A reality that is somehow injected in your DNA. Spending too much time in front of your computer or TV?
A: Don’t you have to these days?
Z: Have to? Are you leading your mindset or you leave it to the ones that know best?
A: Technology is making things easier or not?
Z: Only if you understand that the real technology behind everything is your mind… I’m sorry but the moment calls for a glass of red wine… maybe the one I was baptized in. Would you like to taste it? Maybe it will open your mind a little bit.
A: ……

Top Senate Democrat Harry Reid has said a short-term solution is unacceptable and is pushing his own bill that would cut $2.2 trillion in spending over 10 years.
Reid's plan is expected to be amended to make it more palatable to moderate Republicans in the House, and, with Democratic votes, offset the inevitable loss of support from anti-tax Tea Party-aligned Republicans.
