I have dressed up for Carnival many times, but what I like the most about it is to see others wearing their costumes in the "mogollones".
There is people who really put lots of work in their costumes and they look great!
But as time goes by you may start noticing that ,who looked gorgeous in their home-made dress at 6:30 p.m., at ten o'clock have already passed out and lied down on their own puke puddle (God bless alcohol).
Nevertheless, we can give some kind of allegorical meaning to this phenomenon: No matter how much pretty your look, nothing endure endlessly.
In the best of the cases, in the last hours of your carnival life, you may still keep your friends by your side mocking you in an amiable way.
How simple and insignificant we are, aren't we?
"Up and down" and "up and down" again, without purpose beyond the mere act of living.
As Celia Cruz would say: "Life's a Carnival".
It is both, sad and beautiful.
In Brazil, people have a name for this feeling which is "saudade".
Such a deep untranslatable word can be defined as “Good you suffer for and wrong you enjoy from”.
This feeling is very well expressed in this famous song, hope you enjoy it, and think about all this.
