MEGA EGO.---© Carlos de la Parra.(Spanish and English versions.) clic down.

El periodista encontraba las formas más complicadas para reafirmar su egolatría.
En su incesante esfuerzo por impresionar a los demás publicaba en su columna notas como:
"Este verano he decidido no pasar mis vacaciones en Mindanao".
Cuando ni siquiera le alcanzaba para ir a la playa local.
Otra aparecía diciendo: "debo aclarar que contrario a lo que se dice, no terminé mis estudios para cirujano cerebral"
Pero el hecho es que tampoco los comenzó y no había quien clamara tal cosa.
Ciertamente que tenía ingenio para quedar bien por cosas que no había logrado.

ENGLISH VERSION.

The gossip columnist would find the most complicated ways to reaffirm his ego.
His relentless effort to impress others compelled him to publish statements such as this jewel:
"I have decided not to spend this summer vacation in Mindanao."
The fact was he couldn't even afford to spend them at the local beach.
Or this other one: "contrary to many of my readers letters, I want to clarify that I did not complete studies as a brain surgeon"
He just omitted saying he never started them either, and that no one really claimed such a thing.
But he certainly possesed ingenuity for shining for non accomplishment.
