100% chance of failure if you don't even try :)

am zis!

Dear diary, greetings from A Muffin

Full week, full weekend. And now that I'm back home, here are the conclusions:

1. History has the tendency to repeat itself more often that we give it credit to do so, and under various forms.
2. Except for the special effects, life has a lot more going on than the we see in big blockbusters from Hollywood.
3. Replace money and the sex with more general concepts in the equation of prostitution, and you have a something which can be applied more widely that anyone could imagine.
4. Some things never really change in essence, though at times they seem to. Also true: nothing is lost, it just alters - and it can take the most surprizing shapes, sizes and consistencies...and then suddenly go back to the original state.
5. A few other things do actually change... but it takes time for them to do so.
6.......I'm not a big fan of rock climbing :D
...and 7. Oscar Wilde was right: "Life is too important to be taken seriously" :D

Tales from the Kingdom of Horror

Azi m-am apucat sa fac curatenie..tocmai in inbox. Si am dat peste muuulte amintiri. Vechi.. prafuite.. ANTICE! O serie de intamplari complet date uitarii..altele peste care s-a asternut ceata intre timp.. si cateva putin mai recente. Revizitate toate in cinstea vacantei & timpului liber si a faptului ca, subit, nu mai trebuie sa fac una-alta urgent. Cu ocazia asta, cred ca am gasit in sfarsit o explicatie a fascinatiei mele pentru Timp. Oh da! In primul rand, Timpul ca sursa a unor noi perspective - imi place ideea! Plus ca.. se dovedeste a fi adevarata si in practica, nu e doar o teorie. Uneori nu e suficienta doar intentia de a privi obiectiv lucrurile, trebuie si putina distanta..temporala - cel putin asta e concluzia care se insinueaza pe masura ce rasfoiesc paginile virtuale. In al doilea rand... Timpul ca modalitate de a decanta - iar termenul folosit nu e aleator. Unele intamplari curg, se duc, fara a avea o forma precisa, iar altele raman cu insistenta la locul lor... Ideea e ca, in final, Timpul poate sa nasca monstri, sa lipeasca aripi zanelor, sa ridice munti si sa inunde vai - insa, invariabil, va schimba putin modul de a privi lumea, chiar daca aproape imperceptibil si... mai important... va da ocazia de a contempla si de a pune intrebari existentiale de tipul... "what the f*** was I thinking"?!?... :))

Mind-numbing PSI gone.. 2 more to go!

Am primit azi un broscoi - nu e urat & bubos, insa nici foarte viu... Asta fiindca e atasat de o cana, poor thing. Foarte bine - inseamna ca nu are unde sa fuga! :D

Direction forward in a multi-dimensional world?

Something dawned on me soon after 2008 began - and unlike a thousand other revelations I have and leave behind a couple of days later, this one somehow sticked with me a bit longer (discontinuously, of course - see previous post - but still...). I get the distinct impression that I'm growing out of things. Out of some things, at least (a sort of "pe ici pe colo, si anume în punctele esentiale":P).

And I'm thinking... Is this a sign of progress? Feels like it. Should be one. On the other hand... In our 3D world, when there are at least 360 different straight lines to follow from any given point (this before adding millions of winding paths, ups and downs, and a fourth coordinate - time)... isn't "forward" becoming a rather relative concept? And who's to say you started from the right point anyway?

Probably another proof of how confused (read "screwed up") I am :))

Despre cum am mai gasit o modalitate de a involua...

Pe masura ce trece timpul am impresia, nelinistitoare de altfel, ca nu devin mai inteleapta ci, dimpotriva, imi pierd din luciditate. Ca noi ne complicam existenta in mii de moduri e de la sine inteles (sau cel putin pt unii dintre noi - I am queen of lots of stuff, this included). Insa dincolo de asta.. "I am not young enough to know everything" al lui Oscar Wilde incepe sa sune altfel, nu doar a citat cinic si cvasi-umoristic.

Incerc sa ma autoconving ca poate pur si simplu nu stau bine la capitolul management, si motivul pentru care mi se pare din ce in ce mai greu acum sa privesc obiectiv unele lucruri se datoreaza faptului ca..sunt mai multe lucruri de privit. Sau mai serioase. Sau doar cu nume mai pompoase. Cu toate astea, nu pot sa nu iau in calcul si cealalta varianta: ca intr-adevar undeva pe drum s-a pierdut (sau doar atrofiat - ce bine ar fi) abilitatea de a vedea lumea la proportiile cuvenite. Desigur, totul in contextul in care oricum varianta 100% nedistorsionata nu exista..d'oh...

Cine stie, poate totusi claritate deplina nu poti avea decat intr-o lume inchisa, agatata de-un perete, disponibila spre examinare, insa inaccesibila si in fond ireala?...
