T0p D0g Reloaded

I wanted to list this rant under the title “Today’s catastrophes”, but they are not. The cancellation of today’s soon-to-be-rescheduled Depeche Mode concert in Bucharest is hardly a today issue. I was looking forward to the concert tonight and depending on the new date I will have to see if I am available to attend.

My brother being dragged and pushed in his car by a TIR (long vehicle) yesterday is nor a catastrophe, nor a today’s catastrophe. Before rushing to label me as a heartless bastard, you will be happy to know he, his wife and their dog, all present in the car when it happened, are physically unharmed and my former car is badly scratched and bent, as far as I understand. but that is a piece of metal as far as I am concerned so I am not going to worry. Plus it is an ensured piece of metal.

As for me I am supposed to work on an urgent request to review a project. That’s what I call a shitty weekend rate. But it is my first time for this client, no way I am going to charge them the same next time, or there is not going to be a next time.

That, and I have got a sore throat and a hangover. Must work now. I hope to watch The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy on TV tonight.

I have a heart of stone. It lives in my bathroom. It has the size of a match, which is exactly what it was supposed to do initially, find me a match. But not a light match, everybody knows a heart of stone cannot burn. And besides, I have a regular heart too.

I am changing its meaning now and give the little stone heart for a noble cause. If you have found a heard, let them know, or even better, if you have a heart, punch in that 858 sms.

LATER EDIT: there is a sponsor who will match 2 euro for each of the hearts found, so do send yours in.

“Like a grain of sand
That wants to be
A rolling stone
I want to be the man
I’m not,
And have the things
I really haven’t got
And that’s a lot

There’ll be joy
And there’ll be laughter.
Something big is what I’m after now
Yes, it’s what I’m after now

After taking, take up giving,
Something big is what I’m living for
Yes, it’s what I’m living for
Living for

Why must I go on
And fill my life with little things
When there are big things I must do
And lots of dreams
That really should come true
Before I’m through”

Apparently someone thought I should know about this. Thanks.

In my case I am just watching feel-good movies: this, this and this.

I’d need a god just for being on time, considering how late I usually am. This god would be compassionate, interesting and motivational, without being pushy. I know, it’s difficult, but that’s why he is a god, right?

Then I’d need a god for being single and lonely and that would be a full time god job, managing solitude and fighting personal madness.

I am an optimist, but a realist optimist, so I’d then need a god for couples. This would be about sharing love, friendship and respect, and managing to make and keep interesting things together, like keeping the flame of desire alive.

Finally, there would be a god for groups of people larger than two. This would be my “world peace and harmony” god, in charge with the general things like curing disease and stupidity for all. So there, I think I’d be just fine with these four, what do you think?

This is a meme I was tagged by M. (vininviz), and since I don’t know if he does trackback, here is the exact post.

How many gods would you need? Anybody who cares…

Luckily I don’t have financial debts, but I have a few honor ones and a few emotional ones. So here, trying to cut my list shorter.

As you know, the schedule for this year’s Gay Fest in Bucharest, Romania has been released. Among other interesting things, a friend of mine, who is an actress-writer, will be reading from her saphic and homoerotic productions. I guess I should be there, and so should you.

So, is it a date? Tuesday, 19 May, 8 pm at Verde Cafe.

My discoveries refrain from anything marketers don’t place on the shelves of the supermarkets. That’s an euphemism for “limit themselves to whatever I find at the supermarket”.

I am not used to the erratic sleep pattern lately: go to bed late, wake up early and feeling sleepy and drowsy throughout most of the day.

Worried about the extra few centimeters/inches around your waist? I have the perfect solution: stress. Remember! what works for me might not necessarily work for you. I indulge myself. In loathing inclusive. First of all, forget about regular time for eating. Eat when you remember. Or don’t. When you do, do so excessively. You’ll be so sick you won’t need anything for a while. For instance, have what I had: green olives, cheese, and chocolate. Don’t forget to hydrate. For this use water and plenty of it. When under deadline related stress add a liter/gallon or more of coke, it will make you quicker. And, oh, if you can do this for more than two days without developing severe medical conditions, let me know.

Experiences like these lead to accidental discoveries. I am pretty sure this is how chocolate mints came about. Just mix Altoids with a lot of chocolate. You get the picture.
