" Nebun. Esti nebun. Esti nebun de legat."

Sunt. Sunt nebun. Sunt nebun de legat, si-mi am toate motivele sa-nnebunesc in continuare, fara sa-mi mai mustrez sufletul si fara glont de-argint pe teava. E 1 aprilie, e trecut de 01:11 si dorintele-s trecute-n agenda deja. Urmeaza o saptamana-ncarcata, urmeaza un delir de cateva zile, urmeaza rauri peste randuri si-as vrea liniste. Si cata liniste as vrea, nu-mi permit sa o am. Nu acum, nu azi, nu curand, sau poate-mi pare bine si-am sa va urez o zi buna, sau o seara placuta. Nu tine de mine. Mi-e peste mana si-am invatat sa accept asta, si totusi, nu-nseamna ca o sa ma opresc acum. "Mai aprinde niste cancer si mai toarna niste ulcer". Acum e tarziu, sunt bleg si tot ce vreau e sa treaca si saptamana asta. Inapoi pe pilot automat, ne-auzim pe data viitoare, dar sa nu uitam, sunt "nebun de legat", si asta-i doar o manifestare a unui tip frustrat. Ce faci cand adormi si te trezesti intr-un cosmar? Insomnii, visezi in continuare sau faci tot ce-ti sta-n putinta ca visele sa-ti devina realitate?

"A NASA SR-71 successfully completed its first flight October 31, 1997 as part of the NASA/Rocketdyne/Lockheed Martin Linear Aerospike SR-71 Experiment (LASRE) at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, California.

The SR-71 took off at 8:31 a.m. PST. The aircraft flew for one hour and fifty minutes, reaching a maximum speed of Mach 1.2 before landing at Edwards at 10:21 a.m. PST, successfully validating the SR-71/linear aerospike experiment configuration.

The goal of the first flight was to evaluate the aerodynamic characteristics and the handling of the SR-71/linear aerospike experiment configuration. The engine was not fired during the flight."

Date: October 31, 1997
