Tarja Turunen - I walk alone

a bitter sweet song. you gotta love it :).

PPL important 2 me (1) - Oana

this is somewhat of a catharsis process, so bare with me. if you want more poems here.
I am a total slacker. I intend to write more often on this blog, but my nature gets te better of me. so here we go. this post is intended to be the first of many... or few... in which I want to show the important people in my "long" life so far. that, of course, not including the whole extended family.

as a privacy curtesy and protective measure, I will not disclose these persons' full name, nor their poetic aliases :-). however, I will show their photographs if I have them, if you are a good detective, you will find out anyway.

WARNING! PERSONAL INFO and potential RELATIONSHIP KILLER shown below. However, I DO NOT GIVE A MONKEY'S CRAP about it, because, if you like me the way I am, then you will like me even more after this little series I am writing.
Also, it is not intended to ruin any ongoing relationships of the persons presented in this series. If anything happens, I am sorry, it wasn't by choice.



the first person I want to talk is Oana. we go way back and she has been a good friend of yours truly, though you may call it a very rocky friendship.
she came into my life by accident, and she made her entrance with a bang. I still remember her as she was back then. though she would probably kill me, if I go into more details. that is, if she ever reads this post. basically she gave me a little hope to cling on to.
after such a big-bang of an entrance, at one of the tragic moments in my life, she dissappeared and we didn't see each other for a couple of years.
when we met again, I was one helluva messed up kid, on the verge of emo-hood - writing poetry and thinking about suicide, without the black outfit or the rock music sympathies. and, again, she was my pillar in my time of near meltdown. though she had her own problems bubbling up.
I admit, I might have been a little annoying at this point. and the result... unpleasant for the both of us. I felt hurt and pushed her away. how selfish of me, right? instead of helping her as she helped me, I turned my back on her.
I haven't heard from her until a chance encounter almost a year ago.
she walked up to me, after a long bus ride, where we caught glances of each other. we might have changed, but we were the same people. however, she recognised me first.
after we talked a little, I found out she had had a streak of bad luck. on a family level, as well as professional and financial level. though she was an artist, current situation made her quit her art and focus on the mundane.
though I have little resources, I try to help her as best I can. why? because she is one of the people that had a powerful effect on my life.

----------------------------------------------

This is the first try. I will come back and improve on this series soon. However, I would appreciate any comments.

EDIT #1: I know, this post was down for a couple of days. didn't modify it... yet.

Hellfire - Frollo

I do and don't agree with him. One of the best songs in disney's history.

Tagged?

Nope. Considering I am not a blogger of 'true blood', I don't get tagged or I tend to forget to respond.

However, when reading Petru's latest post, I was somewhat intrigued by the nature of this tag game.

Here's the tag's rules:

* Click here. The name of the Random Article on Wikipedia is the name of your band.
* Click here to go to the quotations page. The last couple of words is the name of your new album.
* Click here for random photos on Flikr. The third one is the front cover of your CD.
* Mix'em up with a photo editing software and...

My little piece of art


I know, the writing looks like crap. So, for those who don't see very well:
Name of the Band: Banksia Ionthocarpa
Name of the Album: Endure the Darkness for it shows the way to the stars

PS: If you read this, consider yourself tagged :-P. post a link in the comment section to show your little piece of art.

Glukoza - Schweine

You know, I have a very bad habit. I use the internet almost daily, but I rarely tend to my blog.

Anyhowz, I have this funny vid for you:

Glukoza - Schweine


coming back soon. hopefuly with something new.

Fun Christmas Carols

It is Christmas time! sorta... Time for something Fun:

Update (II)

It is almost half a month since the campaign ended. I think I owe you another update.
WE WON!!! Here you have a picture from the night of the election.



Actually it is a half a win, but it is a necessary evil.
If you are a politics-hungry nut, what do you think of the current left wing-right wing coalition?

A little update

I know, I know, I haven't posted anything in a while, but I've been busy :-).
So, here are some of the things I've been doing:

- I entered the Conflict Analysis and Resolution Master's Programme at the International Relations Department.

- I started my Russian lessons (I feel like being back in 1st Grade, with the Russian alphabet).

- I have signed up with the Student Organization of the Democratic-Liberal Party and I will be working on the parliamentary campaign for Vasile Blaga and Elena Udrea. (Cristina, don't kill me. I know I promised to steer clear of the internal politics and political affiliations, but this is a move I had to make Now.)

- I've been looking for a publisher crazy enough to publish my Licence Paper (a.k.a. The Evolution of the Arab-Israeli Peace Process). If you know one, pls write it in the comments section.

Well. That's about it. Good luck to each and every one of you.

PS: If you were expecting a poem, I started several, but haven't finished one in a couple of months now. Help!

The Annotation - Aniboom

A Jester sings to the dead King. I think I am gonna use this to further the plot of the "Knight" series >:-).



it is a true pleasure to present this to you. so enjoy!

Olympic song "Beijing Welcomes You" (subbed)

I know, the Olympics are already over, but this is one video related to this edition of the Olympics that I really like. Hope you will too.

Within Temptation - Angels

One of the better songs I have heard in a while. Talk about one who should be a saviour turn out to be a devil.

Maraton de dat mana pentru pace in Georgia

Maraton de dat mana pentru pace in Georgia

Organizatiile societatii civile romanesti te cheama miercuri, 13 august 2008, de la orele 18.45 la un maraton de dat mana. Ne vom intalni in doua grupuri – unul pe Sos. P. Kiseleff in fata Muzeului Taranului Roman si altul la Arcul de Triumf - si vom merge unii spre ceilalti pana la Ambasada Rusiei la Bucuresti (sos. P. Kiseleff nr. 6). Acolo ne vom da mana unii cu altii si vom aprinde lumanari in memoria victimelor din Georgia cerand incetarea confruntarilor armate din aceasta tara.

Vino impreuna cu prietenii tai pentru a arata lumii cum se mediaza conflictele si a-i indemna pe actorii internationali sa faca la fel! Alatura-te acestui gest de solidaritate pentru victimele conflictului din Georgia, vino sa dai mana cu un om oarecare!

Reguli:
La maratonul de dat mana se va vorbi doar in soapta. La acest eveniment se vor auzi si cele mai firave voci, nu doar opiniile celor mai puternici dintre noi.
Participantii la maraton nu isi pot aduce cu ei decat alte instrumente folositoare in timpul negocierii: pixuri si coli de scris, bunavointa si deschidere catre a asculta si opinia celorlalti, toleranta si respect fata de partenerii de dat mana.

Focul marii

OK, here I am back with something new for a change. I have set my pen down for a bit to promote someone else :-D. Without further ado, I introduce to you Miss Andreea Nituica.

Focul marii

Bucati de soare aruncate-n mare
Palesc in apa arsa in culoare,
Cenusa lacrimilor izvorate ca-n mormant
Trupul este de pamant.

Raze crescute din mare,
Dar ceata le face amare.
Nu storci viata din pustiu,
Lacrimat esti cenusiu.

Lumina este mult prea cruda,
Printre lacrimi sa patrunda.

Enjoy.

Gene & Frank ... good times

These could be the best songs of that day and age. They have something that makes them irresistible.

Gene Kelly - Singing in the Rain


Frank Sinatra - My Way


With these, I bid you farewell... for a short while, until I have a new poem or a song/video to share.
