What can I say about Cebu City?

Cebu City was home. Now, I call another city home but I am not really at home in it. I guess you could say that I am like a leaf blowing in the wind. This morning as I scanned the news pages I came across many news items about Bob Dylan and I promptly made a website dedicated to this enigma. I remember when I was a young boy in Cagayan de Oro City and Bob Dylan seemed to have the right words even if his voice was raspy as though every song he sang was agony in musical terms.

a-frame, a-list, abaca, abacus, abattoir, abbey, abc, abdominal, abduction, aberdeen, abnormal, abortion, abracadabra, abrasive, absent-minded, absinthe, absolute, absorbent, abstract, absurd, abu-dhabi, abuse, abyss, acacia, academic, acadia, acapulco, accent, access, air, blog, bob-dylan, Ching’s Illusion,

Later in Cebu City, I would sing wildly and feel the nihilism in his words as I fancied myself the primal nihilist in the mold of Nietzche's superman. It was agony alright, but not so profound or earth-shaking. I tried to leave Cagayan de Oro City in my mind and made a place for myself in Cebu City and to a degree I considered Cebu City to be comfortable and safe enough to be called home.
