The Brain Trust

The phone is ringing, the music is loud and the weather is great. This is a normal day of my life. A girl on myspace is singing about the fact that the man went to the moon and came back, the she is telling a story about how boys like actresses of pop porn movies. She is singing in italian and the sound is great. Vuze just finished downloading the latest movie of Riccardo Scamarcio and he is way to handsome to watch without thinking about how all boys in this city are nothing in front of him and i keep dreaming of him.The phone is ringing and it's my friend, the genius, asking me if i read that chapter about pax europea...This is the moment in the movies when you hear the scratching sound that brings you back to reality and i was brought back to reality, my books and my exams.

I dont want to finish university, because what happens after??And the main question is, can i finish university???I hate having exams.My brain is full of information i cant remember although they exist in my brain, some times i can combine them and create my own theory and others not. Exams are a creativity period really, if you have the basis you can really solve any problem.....apart from the ones that professors ask you to. Then you realise that all those things you learn are useless really, but then they mention the brain trust. What the hell is that about???I am very sure after i finish uni i am never going to sketch another diagram about inflation and unemployment again. Why did i ever decide to be an economist??? It reminds me of when i was a child and when people asked me what i wanted to be when i grew up i had no idea what to answer. Mainly because, when i was a little, all i wanted to be was a bigger me.

What did you want to be when you were a little?

Boots go in pairs...

Lately i've been talking with my friend who is fulfilling his duty to mother land and is doing his military service (currently mandatory in greece for everyone 18+) and in specific he's in the navy.He told me that they are always there in groups of 3...he also told me that it's like the kids camp for adults, and of course i believed him. He had an amazing tan, and his teeth were way too bright.... I'm thinking it's more like a spa than the army, the only proof that it's indeed the army is that his hands were stronger resulting from the fact that he's in a boat. Strangest thing is, why are they in groups of 3??Then i saw Sex and the city the movie... In the end it results that all girls in NY go in groups of 4?Why???Because Carrie Bradshow wishes so??I dont understand also, how Carrie can afford a new pair of shoes every day. It's like she wakes up, she goes to starbucks for a latte, go buy the NY Times and Vogue and then off to buy new shoes.Daily routine. I found the film too focused on fashion and it was way too obvious that it was advertising "hot" couture. Cant say i didnt like it, though i thought the series were better.

Back to my main point, why do we always go in groups?Is it our need of not being a lone, or is it our fear?And as carrie says, i couldnt help it wonder.... does the size of groups count?I mean should it be an odd or even number?What is the correct number to say it's a group and not a crowd?Will i ever be so successful i'll be able to buy expencive shoes after i buy my newspaper?Does manolo blanhik produce flat shoes since i cant wear hills?Will i ever be able to wear hills?Is it mandatory to wear them if you are successful? Also, given that hills make your legs look better, is it a prerequisite to wear them to find a boyfriend?If yes, will i always be single?'cause i think it's pretty lame if thats the case!

So many questions, so little time!!!Go ahead and answer them!!

Vision on a different level

Every year around this time of the year i feel really intrigued about Europe, it's citizens and it's music. The main reason being that around this time of the year, the Eurovision takes place and although i dont normally like the kind of music, i always watch and get passioned about it. I like it. Most importantly, i like it and i'm not afraid to say it.The same way i like Bridget Jones, she's a hero and one of my idols. I like the above mentioned for different reasons. Bridget Jones will be explained at a later post. Eurovision now i like it because it tells you a lot about people and cultures.Main point being that everybody wants to be the same. For instance, the 2 songs that won 1st and 2nd place, their choreographer was the same man, from greece! Another obvious thing is that Russia is still a leading subtle power. Do you honestly think that that guy won because he had an skater on the stage, in fact one of the best in the world, and a stradivarious violin?Not to mention the singer.....God, i really dont like him. Russia won because of it's power.I bet Putin is really happy now.And why wouldn't he be??I mean, i would dare to sing for greece if i got to go to Russia!! It's not because Greece lost, we didn't have anything that special to win, it's because Finland, Spain and France lost.Those 3 divine songs that dared to make a difference. Finnish people, that tall that they face different weather conditions, with beautiful blond hair that every girl tries all her life to have. Spanish entry was simply magnificent and the french one was deliriously french in english! My personal favorite was the Turkish one, thus the video. I think it's the first step towards Europe.In fact i think every country who wants to be a member state of the EU, should first win the eurovision.Who said Greek-Turkish Friendship doesn't exist??He lied! You dont like this post?Be Brave and tell me, in the comments section, log in and tell me "i didnt like this post" then write whatever you want!

Space Cakes are like Rum and Coce

Long time...no see....well c'est la vie, get used to it!I know you missed me though....Well space cakes are like rum and coke...they both fuck you up....rum and coke separately are alright, together, deadly combination....dont do it, dont do it tell you, i speak from experience...So yeah, the above mentioned both give you terrible times..... The worst thing is though, the things you do when you are under the effect!!! So yeah, the effects are normally you'll get extremely drunk and say things you probably shouldn't have said under normal circumstances. And what makes you think its better?It's not, it just makes things worse.And the compliments at the time!?HORRIBLE!Do you think that when you say to someone "i want to kiss you" the reply will be "kiss me?" NO, the reply will be "thanks, but no thanks" or "come on, we are friends" . Do you think that someone is going to tell you "your touch makes me delirious?"NOPE!!Instead he will use a phrase like "Every time i see you, your hair is so straight and bright!" Yes, it happened. I prefer the word delirious though.... sounds better also. "Your hair is delirious"Don't you agree??Or, "You are delirious"?Yeah, much better. I am in search of the perfect compliment a boy can make to a girl and vice versa. Any suggestions???Knock your self out!

Spring me

Hey, Lately i've been thinking that since i was born in the spring i should love spring.I'll surprise myself once more. I hate spring.There is nothing i like about it, apart from the fact that i can drink cold coffee....I hate butterflies, i hate the unbearable heat in the morning and the cold at night...although it is kind of romantic..but that romantic effect is forgotten since all the couples are all over the place, kissing up to the point you can see their faces...on the streets, in the metro (!??!?!?!) when they go for walks, they seat on the benches and kiss and kiss, i figured the right solution is to go and throw up right next to them, i wonder if they'll get the message or continue kissing, since love makes you dumb. I also dont like spring 'cause i find nothing interesting about it.During the summer you can talk about how hot it is, there are festivals you can go and get pissed and there are those great night you go out and just hung in the parks...But in the spring...you cant do that 'cause it's the period the nature reproduces and all the couples think they can reproduce in the parks, on the benches and occasionally in the metro. It's not because i cant reproduce, it's more the fact that i never want to be one of those ( the dirty little secret of life is though, that i will at some point in my life)......There is only one thing i like about spring and that is that it brings the random side of me on the surface.... it's quite interesting....and it happens to lots of people too!!! Lack of reproduction, hate of spring, excessive amounts of alcohol, no idea....just blame it on the weather!

Welcome to my Party

Hey!
So long since i've written something, weird...I think it's cause i'm getting old.... Oh Shit i'm 21!!I only have one more year.....11,5 months to be crazy and then i should be serious....oh noooo OH NOOOOO (thats the part where you imagine me running in panic!!!)
Anyway, my 21st birthday party was great!!! Since then i've started to think what is hould do with my life.....and i've reached the conclusion : i've got no idea whatsoever.
See there are so many options but the thing is that you actually have to find something to do that you like...I'm gonna ignore that until after i get my degree.

For now, i am going to talk about the country that has no name but internationally refered to as Macedonia....Yeah right, as if i was gonna do that.Well, i'm going to talk about er...er... er...I could talk about the greatness of being me, or the importance of being earnest or even the awkwardness of being a man, or the freedom of rights or even how to make a strawberry smoothie. See, my knowledge is reaching new and exciting levels! It's the turning 21 i tell you....and the only decision i made since then is that, well now that the non smoking law is gonna come to greece, i'm gonna be against that, and be like those people who annoy me and dont respect the rules. You know what else annoys me?Old people and especially grannies in the metro wearing high hills and expecting to give them your seat. It also annoys me when people who have no talent sing, people who get involved in your business when having nothing to do with it, people who stand in front of the metro doors and dont allow you to get out before you get in, old men who act tired but they have a 20year old in their house waiting for sex and people and bus drivers who dont stop at the stops they are supposed to stop.Thats all....On and when they put cinnamon in my cappuccino.....
And i also decided that i'm gonna change my hair....no idea to what, but i'll do it!!!!!!And go to a festival, and start exercising and maybe get a bf...... and stop reading the signs in free newspapers....and buying more records....and travel.....and updating my blog more oftenly.... and say what i think....and act like i think...and wear what i think....and THINK LESS!!!!!!!

What do you think???

No strigns attached

Hey blog-readers.I decided that you are a very random audience. Indeed, you either comment whenever i write something utterly random or something that has to do about relationships. Well i hope you change that, 'cause relationships are not my thing and it's gonna be a long time before i write something random 'cause usually that happens when i'm drunk so.... come to your senses.

OOOOOk, relationships: the hardest thing in life. Even the sexual ones never come with no strings attached. Scientific research showed that whenever girls are having sex they body produces the love hormones. Which means, even if you dont like the guy, in that certain time you are most likely to like him. Thats why a girl always asks for a hug after sex and wishes to fall asleep in the hands of someone, whereas the guy thinks of way to turn his back and dream about pamela anderson or stiflers mam. Loving relationships are the hardest because it all depends-i think- primarily on what first impression you make, and i'm of course talking about what you wear and not who you are. Who you are comes after, after you've showed a little bit of flesh. Is it bad?Nope, it if unfair though 'cause an ugly guy wants a beautiful girl and he gets one sometimes whereas an ugly girl rarely gets a beautiful guy.But that might be because most of the girls are good looking...i'm confused. And keep in mind, that girls have to keep up with wearing shoes that make their feet hurt and girls have to deal with the occasional chillness that comes from lack of clothes.
Why i am writing these things?It's cause i think my dream of a relationship with no strings attached is long gone. Also because i like wearing lots of clothes and i'm cold quite often and also because it's an intriguing subject to me.Not to mention the fact that i admire you people who have found a person that respects you and loves you trully for who you are. I want someone who is clear with me, which is also not happening.
Whats the point in compromise?Get your dignity and leave.
Whats that you said my love???Yes i know what you've been through, and thats why i cant stay, we cant no longer cheat you!
Remarks r welcome. x

What do you do when......

Ladies aaaand gentlemen!
Yes, it is right, i am going to write a series of posts about what to do in situations of great confusion, panic, disappointment, drunkness and in general, situation where you'd rather never be in....So to launch this section, i decided to write about what do you do when you realize that you'll never see your fav band live?! Tough one isnt it?! I will tell, i started thinking about it a long long time ago, when my fav band was nirvana and due to lack of singer i could never see them live.After that, i decided i wanted to see live one of my other fav bands, the cribs. The cribs is a band from Leeds, UK, actually they are from wakefield.... but allright, i'm not from england thus mistakes are excused. The cribs have never been in a gig in Greece, and i doubt they will to be honest, barely anybody knows them here. So having in mind that, i looked up where they play, and i found out they play in Primavera Sound Festival ( wow!) and ( yay!) lookes up for tickets to go to barcelona 70 euros ( woo hoo!) then 115 euros for the festival ticket ( slightly disappointed, but still optimistic) ..... Then i realized i've only got 3 euros in my wallet....and a few euros in my bank account which will soon be gone due to excursion in Holland, magic mushrooms, weed and booze and it's a life of sex drugs and rock and roll ( i'm not sure about the sex part, but what the hell)....
Conclusion: i'm never going to see The Cribs live.....and i'm very sorry to know that, and i'm very sorry i live in this country at the end of the universe, or maybe at the other end of the universe, definetely at the end of Europe, and bands dont like us......not even maximo park..... But i'd like to motivate you people to buy the cribs cds so maybe we could motivate them to come to greece!?RIGHT!?RIGHT, and since you are sooooo motivated,do something, what would you do in a situation like mine?!?!?!or propose a new situation and i'll give you my honest opinion!Also, if you know what to do when your dwarf hamster dies, please let me know! x

Love Love Love......

you have to imagine that i'm singing to the beatles songs when you read the title....Thats right, lately i was wondering what love is, not because it's february and it was St Valentines day, thats just shit- there was no St Valentine that wishes all boyfriends buy flowers, sexy lingerie and chocolates, there was a St Valentine once, but i dont know what he did and he got connected to this awful day, unlucky fellow.....I was wondering about love 'cause i was reading a blog that talks about love, also i got a forward email talking about it.....Also, i had excessive amounts of chocolate... and oh!yeah, also Franz Ferdinand, smokes too much and had too much coffee....also the lack of exams can do this to you.... So what is love???? Love, my wonderful readers is.... ................ ......hell i dont know!!!Of course i dont, those things just bring problems to me and i will try to avoid them like the vampires avoid garlic.......do problems worth it???At least you have the experience after.... But in any event, if love actually knocks on my door tomorrow, i will give it a chance and some change to take a taxi back to where it belongs.... Due to the circumstances, i am not going to elaborate on it any further... What did you actually thought i would tell you??? Well, i can tell you one simple thing, love is when someone tells you name and the way they say it is different..... i think this phrase pretty much describes the whole of it...... If you know what love is, comment, compare and contrast. Oh and i almost forgot, Eurovision 2008 greek song selected, dont, i repeat, DO NOT check it out... Love Always x PS. This Post does not talk about love between parents and children and also, dont start telling what you love, say what love IS

People who know.....

I guess that people who know that they know are stupid, people who know that they dont know are quite smarter, although it would be better if they knew that they know at least something. I decided to write this because it's an honest truth. In fact, if you know that you know, dont you in some way lose the will to know?If you know that you dont know, you always want to know more. I dont know in which category i would be....i suppose in the second 'cause although i know that i know, i forget that i know so i continue to know new things.... And also i get to know things that i would like not to know, so those these i try to forget but somehow i cant. Today i got to know that the permanent places you can get in the public sector decrease productivity-for the obvious reasons that we all know- and i suppose thats why the public sector in greece it's such a mess. Also, you should know that the name of my blog comes from 2 wonderful people, Dylan Moran, and Douglas Adams, who are just brilliant.I felt like i should write this 'cause i dont know if everybody knows it and it'd be better if they knew it.There i said it, now you know.Also know that The first is a comedian and the second a writer, who i think they know that they dont know...Also as you can see i've added some music to this blog,you know it's a crappy playlist, but it's my first attempt you know....yeah....
Now back to work, cant write the word know anymore, you know it!!!
Comments?Remarks?You know what you have to do!

The exam of a lesson is a lesson for life.

Cheers mates! This is going to be a small post 'cause i need to fulfill my academic obligations.....I'll tell you a nap time story... Once upon a time there was Mr T, he was a young man, very vivid, a bit handsome who just got his Phd and a job in a fancy university in Europe.He liked girls, to drink and claims not to like gambling, although everybody knew deep in his soul he liked it as nothing else in the world.He did after all teach his students, bright young minds, about legitimate ways of gaining money illegally.Vivid man as he was, he regularly met his students at the locals every so often..... One day, he sees that brilliant young lady in class and at that very seconds he thinks "i must have her!" so they start dating.Love against all rules!!!!! How romantic...... !!!!!! So, open person as he is, young person as he is, he didnt bare in mind that his students might see him, and they did see him!!! Rumor has it one day she went to his office and she did not do well in his mid term, and he said in a strict voice "You've been a bad girl!" and she said "Yes, will i get spanked?". He refused to spank her but she insisted, so he punished her.....and you can imagine the rest i'm not in the mood to be a writer now, i like myself as a blogger.
This story is real, if you dont forward 5 years of bad sex! ( just kidding...) Now this the cruelty of the real world.Take this lesson kids : you might work hard, you might study hard, you might do well at your exams, but you'll never get an A+ if you dont get spanked!!!!Therefore, you should blackmail, don't underestimate the power of internet.....to be continued....

the people you leave behind

It is my belief that once in your life time-at least once- you are obliged to leave some people behind you for your whole life, maybe it is your choice or maybe it is not, but the matter is still the same. I am sure one of those who read this were obliged to leave behind their imaginary friend, the music/movie idol they were in love with ( i bet it was either Kurt Cobain or Leonardo di caprio that is new to everyone, there are few people who will actually act as themselves, and those who ) and eventually you had to let go of your sweet 16 flirt. What happens though when you realise that you actually made the right choice or that circumstances/faith did the right thing???Recently i had to let go of some amazing people. I never regret letting them behind...i miss them, but i never regret it.... The question that pops into your mind and honestly bugs you and you think your head is going to explode ( especially if you are a sentimental person) is what could i have done that would make me not feel this way??Should i have spent more time with them??Should i have been more generous with them???Should i have drunk more beer with them??? I will tell you, nothing.You did your best, now get over it. And also, when you leave behind someone that was very special to you, or you thought was very special to you, most of the time you were wrong. In an environment that is new to everyone there are a little people who act as them selves and those who dont, will do when drunk , and it's then that you see what you are missing is really nothing....So for a moment i felt like i was missing some of the greatest people i have met in my life, and those i miss.....But when earlier-few months ago- i was feeling like i was missing someone important to me....i realise now that i was wrong.He gave me nothing as a person.I thank him for making me smarter to be able to see what a ass he was, how he was never himself and how manipulated one can be when really one is just oneself. So thank those for making you brighter and not smarter, wiser and not drunk (wise-when drunk counts as wiser) thank those who have been there for you, thank everybody for giving you experiences and screw the rest.It's all sentimental shit..........fuck them!fuck them all!!!!!! and if you have any questions or feel like this sometimes, i'm sure i can give you some help! Ciao ragazzi!

Christmas Hold'em

Christmas is over, lazy readers, now get back to work, exams, everyday misery and excessive drinking without an apparent reason.Christmas is not a holiday i like....Usually everybody is so cheerful because they are over-fed, too drunk and go home with lots of presents or money.Of you try to go out, everywhere is sooo fucking crowded that you can barely move, taxi drivers request a special tip for being christmas and everybody asks you for your money, homeless, waiters, shops.Not my fav thing, on TV there are always 3 movies per day that include gnomes, Santa claus and christmas magic.Whats with all that?And if it's for the kids, isnt it a bit pointless since they are going to find out the truth by mistake a few days later, that santa doesnt actually exist and moracles dont happen just because it's christmas.And love is all around and everybody loves everybody and it's love actually time, and it's all in our head.So for those of you who like christmas think again, for the rest, nothing changed really did it???Now excuse me, but i have to go back to uni tomorrow and face my teacher who always has a hang over and who claims that he doesnt like gamble when he teaches market portfolios, expected values and risk stuff.If thats not gamble, what is???It's even legitimate.Now Christmas time is a time to gamble. I went for texas hold'em this year, it was well addictive, i lost, but i was happy and loved everyone after, especially captain morgan, my fav guy in the world, he never lets me down and he makes me cheerful and he always smells and tastes nice.Morgan is my guy, if he looked like jack sparrow i could fall for him. Who is yours??????
