    Default Man walks through 10 countries without a passport or ID but can't get into an Argentine library

    This dude walks from Canada to Argentina for over 5 years, without a Passport or ID, so he can visit the National Library of Buenos Aires in Argentina. When he gets there 6,500 miles later, they would not let him in without an ID so then he went off to the Amazon. (Kudos to the Argentinian librarians for standing their ground! You can't just let anyone walk in there with no ID and start putting their grubby hands all over the microfiche machines and stuff!)



    The Incredible Story of Anton Pilipa of Canada

    Anton before the trip.


    Anton after his journey.



    Anton Pilipa, a Canadian man who was found in the Amazon jungle about 6,500 miles away from home. Pilipa, a former humanitarian worker who suffers from suspected schizophrenia, hitchhiked, hid behind trucks, and walked barefoot through 10 countries from Canada to Brazil in nearly five years, according to his brother Stefan Pilipa.

    Anton was found because his blonde hair attracted attention in Brazil

    Officer Helenice Vidigal, a Canadian-born cop in Brazil, said it was precisely Pilipa's blonde hair and blue eyes that tipped her off.
    She told CBC: 'I knew he didn't belong to that road. Anton is a different type from us Brazilians, he stands out.'

    Anton has a Go Fund Me page now. : https://www.gofundme.com/bring-anton-home He has raised nearly $15,000 USD to help him restart life in Canada.

    (I expect Anton will be a millionaire soon. Brad Pitt will buy his story, make a movie, plus the inevitable book deal. Anton is now singing, "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina Library.")

    Before I even click on the thread I suspected schizophrenia was involved.

    Officer Vidigal obviously never met Rainbowmimi.

    If you drop the schizophrenia part and make it a soul searching quest (he decides he's tired of his corporate life and simply... walks) it's at the least a well received indie art film. He walks and never turns back. Behind him is his failed marriage, his meaningless corporate job, etc. Along the way he meets interesting characters who each add a puzzle piece that helps him understand the puzzle that is life. He eventually arrives at Buenas Aires and thinks to himself, "There is no where to go. I have reached the end of the road." He cries. Oh how he cries. He weeps because he lacks that last piece of the puzzle that will allow him to understand what it's all about. An attractive young woman asks why he's crying. He's sitting at the stairs of the Argentinian library. They look into each other's eyes and... there it is... the final piece... True love. She also happens to be a librarian.

    The song for the end credits to my new indie art film that will be so awesome that Shia Lebeouf will want to be my best friend but after awhile I'd be like, "What the fuck is wrong with this guy? I'm not taking any more of his calls."

    At first, I figured his journey was in search of Rainbowmimi.

    That would be the story of "The Russian Hobbit."

    the ending is not good.
    At the end when he reaches the door of the library a beautiful girl greets him with a longing deep smile, right then and there a schizophrenic muslim brainwashed by Mossad agends blows himself up and says allahu okber.
    Then we get Trump decalring WW3 via tweeter.

    Yuri, the Russian Hobbit, left his lawyer life in Moscow, and became a homeless man living in a hobbit hole. He lives with his rabbit, Petrushka. He also belongs to the website "Bookcrossing." Here is BookCrossing in 4 easy steps. Yuri is a big fan and has registered over 4,000 books. This Yuri's profile: http://www.bookcrossing.com/mybookshelf/HomerLibrary/

    - Pick one of your books... one you have read or one you haven't read.
    - Click on "register book" on the Home menu.
    Follow the prompts to register the book, and generate a BCID (BookCrossing ID).
    - Write the BCID in ink inside the cover. Add a label or write the BookCrossing info. You can add some additional markings, stickers, notes, etc to make the book more noticeable, if you wish.
    - Release the book. That means: leave it behind somewhere for the next reader to find, or give it to someone. Make a 'release note' to let the world know that your book is out there.
    If someone picks it up and reports it as found, you will get a message in your email.

    This is Yuri's story. Yuri just needs some romance and his life will be perfect. He needs Col. Frank to write his script!

    I was thinking it would work better if she was a childhood pen pal and that he lost touch many years ago. All he remembers is her first name and that she likes spending her free time at her local library or something like that... Even a genius like myself needs time to flesh out a synopsis. I'm such a genius. I will go to sleep with the comfort of knowing I'm a genius. I have to wake up in a few hours but when I wake up I shall say to myself, "You, sir, are a genius." It's important to remind yourself when you're a genius that you're a genius.

    Theres is a problem with your film.
    The national library is such an ugly building that no sane director would want to put it in his film.


    how could someone be obsessed with this thing?
