In My Not-So-Humble Opinion

If it's broken, it's broken. That's what I think at least. I mean you can fix it (if you can't, Chris Martin will surely try, he did say so), but even if it starts working/functioning/showing signs of life, it will never be the same.And what's "it"? Well.....anything :).E.g. a vase.You brake it, you buy some glue, you glue it up/fix it, fill it with water, and it now looks almost the same (lets say we accept "almost" as satisfactory) as you can obviously see the cracks, it has almost the same shape, and it almost gets the job done. Except that it does not, since here and there you get a small water leakage, and those poor plants kept in the vase need that water.But hey, "almost the same as before breaking" is good, right? Yes, it is, however it is not enough.It happens that, in time, the breaking event comes back to haunt you, the glue loosens up, you come back home, you find the vase either back to numerous scattered peaces or without...

So,here is what Wikipedia says about happiness: Happiness is a mental or emotional state of well-being characterized by positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy. Of course there are other gazillion resources on the subject, but by reading this, happiness sounds like a bottle of beer with one of those popup-sound-novelty-opening mechanisms.You know, you open the beer,it makes the *POP* sound....aaaaand you're happy :). But something that crossed my mind several times in the past couple of days is that happiness is such a relative thing that it is really hard to put it in a sentence and capture the meaning of the real deal.Don't get me wrong, Wikipedia has it right there, it's all true, it is just that one would have to think about concrete examples of happiness to understand it, and that is the moment when it all gets twisted. And when I write about happiness I can't help but to think of a business trip I took to Kinshasa, DR Congo...

Left brain: I am the left brain. I am a scientist. A mathematician. I love the familiar. I categorize. I am accurate. Linear. Analytical. Strategic. I am practical. Always in control. A master of words and language. Realistic. I calculate equations and play with numbers. I am order. I am logic. I know exactly who I am. Right brain: I am the right brain. I am creativity. A free spirit. I am passion. Yearning. Sensuality. I am the sound of roaring laughter. I am taste. The feeling of sand beneath bare feat. I am movement. Vivid colors. I am the urge to paint on an empty canvas. I am boundless imagination. Art. Poetry. I sense. I feel. I am everything I wanted to be. If I would describe myself I think I could be described fully with the left brain's characteristics with a pinch of the right brain.But mostly left....I mean, totally left :) Surprisingly enough,this was a part of a Mercedes Benz Ad.Kudos to the Israeli guys fromY&R Interactive advertising (http://www.yr.com/)...

Now,let's see.....I have an opinion about almost anything.Ok, let's face it I have an opinion about everything.My opinions are not always correct.Sometimes they are as far from being correct as they can be, but still, I have all these thoughts in my head, I have so many things I would like to say,so I will just try and put them here.I am not sure how often I will post.It might be daily,it might be once in a year.However,in a case I feel like saying something, I might come back here.And what will I write about? Well, technically and in essence, I am a software developer (masked as a office manager), and occasionally there will be a post or two about IT,however I will try to keep the hard core geek talk for some other blog.This will be a blog about whatever comes through my head, and trust me, IT is not everything on my mind. What will happen here is that you will get a certain freaky insight in my inner psyche, so if I ever go to a shrink, I hope that he will not use these post...
