End of an era

I have to admit that what I am writing right now is greatly influenced by a song from the soundtrack of BBC's series Sherlock:

It is a theme of a story where Sherlock, gets introduced to Irene Adler,or as he called her "the woman". As the story goes,she was the only woman that ever tricked Sherlock, and the only one he ever really loved. However, as a series of events happen, he says farewell to Irene, lets her go, and never looks back.

Now, in my opinion this is more then just a cliche love story, and as the song's chords go, I can sense a determination, a strong, conscious determination, a result of a common sense, a mind taught to rationalize and deduce conclusions, where one sees that something ended, and that looking back would just make the things worse. For you, for others, for everyone.  

The worse thing that you could do after seeing that something blew up in your face is doing the same thing again.People could wonder why would anyone want to do something like that,and I am asking the same question as well....why? But the cruel reality shows us a different picture, we are not always bound to follow common sense, and sometimes we go back to a place where not only there is nothing there for us anymore,but also we put ourselves into a risk we really don't need or cannot afford to have.

End of an era is called like that for a reason.Things are as they are and things change, one part of your life ends another one begins, worlds collide and worlds get destroyed, but one thing is for sure, the end happened,so don't look back.Do not.Look.Back.

It is harder then it sounds.Much harder, next to impossible.An era ends, it is a period in which you were accustomed to live in, it is a massive change, and you feel so insecure about what would happen now, but in those moments remember one thing, if it was meant to last it would've not ended. Sure, there will be people responsible for the change, surely you can blame everyone, you can blame yourself, but the fact remains, it ended, so don't look back for god's sake.Do not go to a place where there's nothing else left for you.

Instead, say farewell to your Irenes whatever that might be. Understand that it is over. 
Just say it ....
....farewell, Irene.

A game of chess

Ron was sitting next to the window with a gun in his hand, when death came into the room. He was watching the wind blowing out the leaves from the street in short but powerful bursts. As death needs no permission, no doors, no keys nor locks to come in, he did not hear it enter the room, but did not get scared when he saw it either. Did not even flinch. In front of him was a chess board, all set up, white pieces on his side. "I knew you would come eventually", Ron said. "...and I felt that you would come soon". Death said nothing, just simply leaned forward towards Ron for a while,  and then moved from the other side of the chessboard, where the black pieces were standing. - "Do you play, Ronald?",death asked."Yes I do.Would you like us to play a game?" - "I am not sure that would be fair", death replied,"after all, I was there, present, when the game was invented.The match would not be very interesting". - "We could...

First thing,first :)

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...

I would have to say, in all honesty.....

.... everybody's fine. Everybody's fine. Not so long ago I was a part of a bigger group of people, a group with who I shared many things.Some of them liked me, some of them hated me.Some of them couldn't stand the sight of me, some of them couldn't stand the idea that they would not see me on daily basis.Things happened, things were happening, things that I do not really want to remember, but I can't do much about it (having this elephant memory of mine). Lines were crossed, that should not be crossed, and I tend to keep those lines as they are. Those lines were and still are one of my life's principles, things that feel and have always felt right to me. Things that make me who I am. Crossing those lines one too many times was an action to witch I reacted, and I left that group of people. The departure was not pretty. It was messy just as all relationship endings are.If it's not messy than probably there was no real relationship there.It left a bad tast...
