little mission statement.

dixit.

yesterday

also known as the day I drank 4 (four!) liters of water and still got dehydrated in style, complete with massive headache, blurred vision and dizziness. thanks, weather.

in india. only.

as if 40 degrees in march wasn't enough, this is what traffic looks like in New Delhi.

p.s. i know you might find crazy traffic like this in other places as well, but the title is more of an indian metaphor. mkay.

enjoy yourself

as a practicing hedonist, this is my message to you. well, woody allen's message, but i've adhered to it even before i knew it.

apparition!

last night, over a small rendez-vous with friends, i dropped my mug. actually, in my absolute clumsiness, i turned around and the mug previously resting on the arms of my chair fell flat face on the floor.
this morning, this is what was showing. it was a broad daylight apparition trying to tell me something.

and the weird thing is it kinda looks like a black and white danish flag. and there's a little person in the middle. i am leaving right now to look for an interpreter.

i feel

no more like a fish on a bicycle. more like a panda on a rocking horse.

that's not happiness, it's a sister of euphoria.

yoga day one - how to lick your elbow

i woke up. i did. 6 am. well, the correct way is i was woken up.

6.35-6.40 am. we arrived at the yoga center. big room. few people. all ages. all sizes.

a little move your wrist here, a little move your arm there, some aware breathing, some rolling. what madam in green could do, madam in blue couldn't do. what madam in blue could do, madam in green couldn't do. these madams were some sort of yin and yang. or a kind of yoga arch enemies meant to amuse me to keep focus.

then we moved on to breathing through one nostril at a time. it is always important to exercise your nostrils. we ended it with laughing. it was part of the exercise. we even took our tongues out and did the indian version of wazzaaaa?!", well, ok, maybe we didn't, but it seemed that way. then they chanted, om shanti something, but everyone had their fingers in their ears. what that mean i do not know.

(KK & Letzu in the near future)

there was no standing on the head or licking your elbow.

i liked it that way.

will i wake up again to go? patience, young padawan.

this is first-class.

this might be the essence of what you and i are looking for. the answer to your (and my) eternal quest for meaning. there's a simple philosophy packed underneath all these folds. i read the instructions it came with and they say just find a thing you're incredible at and do it. they didn't forget to mention you also have to enjoy it. it's self-explanatory. 

yes. it's a new thing. professional hedonism. it almost doesn't make sense. it's new. 

take it personally.

amice, ești cel mai mare idiot

știam de mult că-s multe soiuri de oameni pe planeta Pământ, dar am fost mereu, printr-un procedeu ciudat, ferită de întâlniri cu jigodii absolute. am avut partea mea de întâlniri extraterestre cu nemernici, oameni fără scrupule sau oameni mai puțin buni. dar acest idiot este, de departe, cel mai sinistru specimen.

ce fel de om calcă intenționat un câine cu mașina? așa cu viraj extrem fix în el, animal naiv care stătea cuminte pe marginea drumului, nu că accident, nu că mi-a sărit în față, tataie, gluma a luat sfârșit, asta chiar se întamplă, fix sub mașină, tăvălit bine acolo, pentru mulțumirea de sine într-o plictisitoare seară de sâmbătă. n-am să vă descriu ce am simțit că nu am cum.
și el, ăsta, nici nu știu cum să-l numesc, scursură, mizerie, nu știu, este propretarul apartamentului în care stau. este propretar și de câine. și mai e și proaspăt tată. scuze, cu asta v-am oripilat de tot.

luați niște yann tiersen de la mine, pentru purificare.

will work for great idea(l)s

my first tweet today was "start the day with sparks from the who and you will start a revolution. http://ow.ly/1gTKi ". 

i had this sugar rush (without the actual sugar) all morning. after the tweet came the realization that yes, some revolution will happen today. then it started to take shape, i could see in the imaginary globe of all predictions that it had to do with work, it had to do with how both me and my company weren't getting anymore what we needed/wanted from this collaboration, it had to do with how i was thinking of ending this for the past month. but i had doubts. some fears. mainly of rejection. ah, curse you, social acceptance! and then i saw this corny picture on my google reader:

so please, judge me all you want, i know i still laugh quietly at this, but it put the finger on it. i decided i'm gonna follow my straight-from-the gut sugar rush, my rationale over the past month and this incredibly corny picture and i'm going to do it. i am going to quit my job. well, my internship. 

and i did. maybe i can actually predict little personal revolutions. maybe i should update my cv, too. and add that.

in any case, if you need me, here i am. let's talk. ;)
