ProfilesHI! ITS ME! PAULO FREIRE. YOU MIGHT RECOGNISE ME FROM SUCH SPLENDID WORKS OF FICTION SUCH AS "PEDAGOGY OF THE OPPRESSED" AND "HOW TO SUCCEED IN BRAZILLIAN PORNOGRAPHY WHEN YOU'RE DEAD". I WROTE MY FIRST NOVEL WHEN I WAS SIX ABOUT MY TRIP TO THE ZOO AND I DID ALL THE COLOURING IN BY MYSELF. MY FIRST MAJOR WORK ON THE IDEA OF EMPOWERMENT WAS WRITTEN AFTER I HAD BEEN DRINKING FAR TOO MUCH WINE WITH MY PAL AUGUSTO (NAME DROPPER). I FIND THAT MOST ATDE LECTURERS TRAT MY COLLECTED WORKS AS GOSPEL, ALTHOUGH I HAVE NO IDEA WHY. I AM QUITE LITERALLY INSANE. BLESS THEM. SO...TO THE TRUTH. I REALLY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I WRITE ABOUT WHEN I PUT PEN TO PAPER. IM NORMALLY JUST GLIDING OFF WHATEVER INTOXICATING SUBSTANCE I HAPPEN TO BE ON IN ORDER FOR ME TO WRITE ABOUT THINGS THAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO UNDERSTAND BECAUSE IT IS MEANT FOR YOU, BUT INVARIABLY CANT BECAUSE I REFUSE CATEGORICALLY TO WORK WITH WORDS THAT ARE LESS THAN ELEVEN SYLLABLES. MY HOBBIES ARE WRITING ABOUT PEOPLE (PREFERABLY IN POOR SOCIETIES), HANDGLIDING, BUILDING MODEL ROCKET SHIPS FROM ANDREX TOILET ROLLS, AND LISTENING TO THE KAISER CHIEFS - WHO I FEAR ARE ALSO OPPRESSED. a href=
