Nappy New Year!

Happy New Year!
Now we're in 2009! That's great! 2008 wasn't a good year for me anyway. I had big plans, and they were all scrubbed. I'm happy that two friends of mine, together with their parents, moved to the USA. I'm happy for them, although I miss them at the same time, and I guess the New Year's Eve wouldn't have sucked so badly if they were here. I'm keeping in touch with them on the Internet, so that's OK!
I've learned however, better than before, that you can't trust people too much, least you wanna' be disappointed.
I've also learned, to the same extent that: Once you gotta' do it right, you gotta' do it yourself. I like that line! It's from Blade 2, and it belongs to Ron Pearlman's character,... Except in the actual movie, it comes with: "Like my daddy said... right before he killed my mom..." before it. That doesn't make the DIY line not true though.
And there's the point: Why would you have others do, something that you don't wanna' do, for you? Especially since it's in your interest, not theirs.
I've also learned that the people who can't take advice, always insist on giving it, and that people who complain about EVERYthing, don't wanna' see you complain about ANYthing.
I've learned that things such as alcohol, tobacco, food, love, ...whatever, are not necessarily bad. It's the addiction and the excess that are bad.
I've learned that you shouldn't waste your time trying to understand people who can't understand themselves, 'cause you might forget about yourself and your needs.
Care only about the things that matter and have a realistic and practical use, not the ones that don't. After all, the cherry on top of the cake, counts for nothing without the cake underneath it( conceptually speaking).
I guess I'll be running away from the people who think of the cherry as the main thing, there's no reasoning with them. The one thing I hate more than seeing the Don Quixote fighting with the windmills scene happening in modern society, is it happening to me.
OK, so I've learned quite a few things from year 2008, but I'm happy about one thing: IT'S ALL OVER!
I'll face the new year with a new attitude!
I wish you all a Happy New Year, happiness, health, and joy!

Long time, no post.

There was little or no time for blogging since the previous post, so no article was written. I did a lot. I finished college, and I got my Bachelor's degree. I learned how important it is to do things at the right time and not stall them. I just didn't feel like working on my Batchelor work, so I had to finalise it in the last three weeks before I checked it in. I wrongly estimated the quantity and quality of information that I had to obtain in order to write about Kosovo's Independence, and the conflicts between Serbs and Albanians, as it being too small. When I effectively started writing on the work, I found out just how much information I had, and that there was no way I'd fit all of that in about 100 pages and in such a short time. In the few days before I finished it, I actually deleted some stuff, because it would have been too big. I had to work on it the very day before I checked it in, then through the night and into the morning, when I felt half asleep and ha...

Cum se cu vin(e) vinul și brânza

În seara de Joi, 29 Martie 2018, am fost la prima degustare de vin şi brânzeturi în Craiova, în Crama Restaurantului Marmara . Sub coordonarea Asociației Bloggerilor Olteni și DictionarCulinar.ro, evenimentul a reunit vinuri de la Crama Rotenberg cu tot cu un somelier şi o purtătoare de cuvânt, şi brânzeturi din partea Delaco. Reprezentanţii Cramei Rotenberg şi au început să ne povestească despre fiecare vin pe care l-am servit în seara respectivă. Crama Rotenberg se află în zona viticolă Dealu Mare, şi se mândreşte cu facerea vinului ca pe vremuri: struguri selecţionaţi manual, şi puşi să-şi lase licoarea cu ajutorul gravitaţiei. Cele 6 vinuri erau inspirate din strugurele Merlot. Până în acel punct, experienţa mea cu Merlot-ul a fost una confuză. Majoritatea Merlot-urilor din comerţ au fost atât de confuze încât dacă beam un Cabernet şi un Merlot, cu greu găseam diferenţe. Cele două vinuri sunt atât de diferite, şi dacă le bei în două zile diferite, vor avea un gust a...

Un alt protest, un alt eșec

Au trecut două săptămâni de la ultimul mare protest la care am fost. Nu-mi place să am motive pentru a protesta, dar protestul este unealta democratică imediat la îndemână pentru ca cetăţeanul să se opună unei guvernări. Port drapelul în buzunarul de la geaca mea impermeabilă pentru a putea protesta oriunde când se ivește ocazia și când am cu cine. Cand mă înfășor in drapelul albastru, galben și roșu, simt o mândrie și o putere care mă face intangibil din punct de vedere moral, deși fizic mi se poate face orice. Am fost la mai multe proteste decât am numărat, mai ales în anul 2017, iar în 2018 sezonul protestelor a început în forță.  La fel ca și în luna februarie a anului 2017, când protestele împotriva OUG 13 pe 2017, au scos sute de mii de oameni în toată țara, și au dus la abrogarea OUG 13, nu s-a câștigat demisia Guvernului și abandonarea unui plan de guvernare catastrofal care ne va distruge economia. Cum a căzut acel Guvern? L-a doborât nu opoziția populaț...
