In My Not-So-Humble Opinion

Sometimes it is nice to sit in the dark, don't you think so? You get to relax a bit. No judgmental looks, no bright lights coming from freshly polished cars bought by the tears of crying kids waiting for their fathers to come home. No fancy dolls covered with make up, with their fancy phones, and with their air-kissing clearly displaying the disgust of mutual contact. No plastic, no fakes that cause that vomiting response in your belly for which at that moment you just can't pinpoint the reason why do you actually feel that. You don't need to look at the 100 year old creep in the suit, trying to blackmail a 25 year old secretary to go with him to a business trip. You don't witness those packs of animals devouring the socially awkward kid in the group, you don't get to see the asshole shit all over the people around him. No sharp smiles, fueled by sarcasm, smirking at you as if their hearts pump blood only for you, while actually al...

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 wan...

As it usually happens, we learn from our own mistakes, or as they say where I come from: "If you get bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of the tiniest of lizards".However, it is waaay better if we learn from other people's mistakes, knowing upfront that snakes have a sharp set of teeth will save you some trouble, will it not? Use that wisdom that other people gathered, trust those few good friends you have when they start telling you about snakes and how badly the snake bite hurts. That said, here are several good points from Debbie Millman, an american writer/designer, followed with some of my comments and opinions. I read these opinions of hers and I find them being a subtle example of eternal wisdom. All of the points are well worth the effort of achieving them: If you are not making mistakes, you are not taking enough risks .  True as it gets. There is no such thing as success without leaving your comfort zone.The ship is very safe when it sits in the harbo...

The forever battle, good and bad, yin and yang, light and darkness. Some of these epic face-offs are figurative, philosophical even, others are as real as your appointment with the dentist, or your attitude toward some real-life thingy. I mean imagine your inner war when it comes to adopting new things, new people, adopting change for example? Is this change good for me? Should I go with the flow or just go straight against it? While the philosophical face-offs are a great way to start a discussion and kill (read: lose) time, the real ones affect your lives, my dear friends, they mingle their fingers into the very essence of your character, they mess around with your destiny as if it's their own, and if their meddling means success for you, they get all the trumpets and a parade, and if they fail......meh, it's not their ass on the line isn't it? Imagine yourself, waking up one day and having this fantastic idea that could change the world. You are not completely ...

The beauty of the internet.This wonderful spaghetti network of cables, routers, devices enabling billions of billions of electrons to interact and form those beautiful 1's and 0's rushing through them like cocaine through addict's veins, right up to our laptop/tablet/smartphone screens. This wonderful place where unicorns feed on rainbow stripes and shit colorful M n' M candies. The place REEKS from cries for attention, lost souls searching for their last stand before they vanish, and those others that are in the process of losing their soul. With all those social networking sites anyone of us can make a simple reality check: read the posts from your friends, followers or whichever social drug you're on, and try to think about why did they post just that photo or that status on their profile. You will then see how much pain, how much cries for help are there wrapped up in a song lyric or a vintage-effect photo labeled with a "Keep Calm" clic...

It is really fucked up how real life is so similar to politics.And I am not talking about the life we see on TV in all of those dumb ass reality shows, I'm not talking about a hip hop video, I'm not talking about a crying teenager who is angry that she got a Lexus for her 16th birthday while all she wanted was a Benz (this actually happened, it's somewhere on youtube).I'm talking about a real, ordinary, every day life of someone trying to make it in this world and maybe live through a couple of nice moments here and there.So, in this every day life you meet so many politicians, most of them very close to you, and you don't even know this until they show themselves in their true light. I mean what is politics really?? It is a fight for obtaining and holding power,a fight sometimes verbal, sometimes physical, sometimes without casualties, sometimes through genocide. Sometimes subtle like a silent chess move. But if it is a fight for obtaining power, how is it any d...

Our lives are all just a bunch of beginnings and endings.We are born,we live, we evolve, we grow, we eat, sleep, shit, we do everything and then we die.And that very same day thousands of others are born and they live,eat,sleep and they die as well, and for each one of them thousands of others are born and so on and so forth.... Everything that exists must come to an end, each atom, each corner of our galaxy, each piece of physical matter or abstract thought ends at some point after it begins. Some endings are happy, most of them are sad. Some are as easy as "see you tomorrow" others are as hard and smelly as the heavy silence of guilt.There are endings that people do not notice as they have no value, like the ending of a low budget movie, or the bottom of an empty beer as, fuck it, you will get another one.And then there are endings that people do not understand how destructive they are until they actually happen.It is mostly because people do not want to ...
