intuitively
Yesterday, I had the pleasure listening to an excellent presentation on web 2.0. If you are interested in web 2.0 and where it comes from: I recommend reading Tim O’Reilly’s article on it (2005) following this link. I have done so a couple of weeks ago, not really worrying about my being 2.0. But I realized that intuitively I did things “right”, in a sense the mechanic is “beta”, a mash-up and it is community driven.
This as an introduction to the mystery of Mr. Mecanico’s disappearance.
Sniff.
Although I am good at letting go, I got used to his company and trust me: What is left in my house of the mechanic/hyacinth juice is hardly sufficient to scent a rabbit. He and his flowers exist virtually in an excel, but I was hoping that he might continue conquering the world for a while.
Thus, what happened to him? I’ll bet something serious happened to him. Looking back at his travelling pattern, I can clearly see that he entered dangerous territory.
Lonestar state!
There was a cowboy, lonesome, dirty, with his smile on his face braking, running out of cigarettes, following Mr. Mechanico, this innocent guy with his blue eyes and the hyacinths for his beloved. The Lonestar cowboy did not see the Mechanico’s blue eyes, the beauty of the flowers, but he saw competition appearing. Riding on his horse, in his wide land, leaving a trail of old, broken leather with heavy smoke, he was jealous on this guy in his overall, with his great upper body, built to perfection. “This f… stupid beggar with his lousy flowers”, he thought. “How dare you, sneaking around with your pathetic hyacinth (what the heck is hyacinth anyway!) here in Lonestar state?” , he murmured and looking into the rising sun my lonestar memories cowboy knew that Mr. Mechanico was in for a surprise.
He had no clue.

Good morning, beloved.
You can write fairy tales for me ANYDAY…
I’m glad you took time for yourself- and I’m glad you’re back.
May you feel all the love of friends and family as it enfolds you….

Now, that explains it!
(though I never thought of the beloved cowboy in these terms. I always considered him to be a cowboy on the outside and a sensitive poet with a secret or two)
I was at the Web 2.0 conference in San Francisco last November and had the chance to attend Tim O’Reilly’s talks. It was fascinating to try and analyze the online perfume/beauty/fashion world through the 2.0 prism. Now that you mention it, you’re right: This is Perfumery 2.0 and you’re a web pioneer!
(the cowboy and the mechanic are both looking at us weird at this point. They’re not sure geeks smell all that good)

hehehe…dear Gaia, you never you with these cowboys ;-)
and the perfume world seen through 2.0 prism: very fascinating indeed. In a sense, although one would not expect it to happen there, the online world of perfumes and perfume lovers exchanging thoughts and visions of scents is very, very 2.0
Dear Chayaruchama
I hope you are well and you do not stress your hands! I feel a lot of love these days and this is wonderful! It surely helps and makes me feel …well, not happy, but consolidated in a sense. Kisses to you

I just posted on the previous mechanic thread about where he is…or was.

I have a feeling that the Mechanic will surface any day. I think he was keenly aware of the comments about his relationship with the hyacinths, felt a little uneasy and actually comtemplated replacing the bouquet with a handful of wrenches and pliers. He’ll find his way home to you, I’m hopeful. He’s just in a soul searching state of mind, possibly in Texas?

Dear Joyce
I hope you are right!Maybe he was stressed a little bit too much, being exposed in public, how to explain his friends? The thing with these flowers, the picture with his naked torso, ….

Hi Andy, you had better not lose that mechanic for real - I LIKE him. A lot. :-)
