How to save a life?


This is for the person that dedicated me this song.
How to save a life?
I have no idea.
And while you were telling me all those things I was thinking " GOD, please this would be a perfect time to give me a good answer". IT didn't come, of course, because THAT WAS HIS ANSWER. It was rather something like "just shut the fuck up and listen to her" (except the 'the fuck' part maybe :))
And I did.
 I don't have the power to save a life, I don't know how to save a life...
but
I have the power to love a life...yours!

Purple trend


J.D.Salinger died.


How should I feel when my favorite author dies? I should feel nothing. It's just a physical death. Somewhere in "the catcher in the rye" he says that a book is good when you feel like calling the author and having a nice talk on the phone. God, I can't imagine how many times I wished I could talk to you. I remember imagining talking about so many things, most of them plain and useless (we both hate philosophical, pretentious discourse). Every time I was feeling down I thought: "I wish I could talk to you. I wouldn't say a lot of words, they're useless anyway". I know one thing: Salinger was one of the few men on this planet that are not afraid of solitude. He realized that living in the society alienates the crap out of you, this is why he chose to hide as far as he can from it.


,,Mie imi plac cartile care, dupa ce le ispravesti, simti c-ai vrea ca autorul sa fie cel mai bun prieten al tau si sa-l poti chema la telefon ori de cate ori ai chef"


"I hope to hell that when I do die somebody has the sense to just dump me in the river or something. Anything except sticking me in a goddam cemetary. People coming and putting a bunch of flowers on your stomach on Sunday, and all that crap. Who wants flowers when you're dead?" J.D.Salinger

'Happy New Year trip' - Baile Herculane





































































































Am plecat din Bai oftand, asta deoarece ceea ce ar fi putut fi una dintre cele mai frumoase statiuni ale Romaniei, este doar un oras fantoma. Nimic nu-i lipseste zonei, si cu toate acestea e ciudat sa vezi cladiri de o arhitectura atat de armonioasa, pur si simplu pe cale sa se prabuseasca.
Recurenta intrebare: cum ar fi aratat Baile Herculane daca nu erau in Romania?
Pe scurt, mergeti acolo. E imposibil sa nu gasiti macar un motiv pentru care sa va placa. Mie mi-au placut muntii, grotele, istoria, aerul submediteraneean, specificul arhitectonic, si chiar si izvoarele sulfuroase.














Jonny Cash - Hurt



I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing that's real.

The poem of the butterflies



The people of this world are like the three butterflies in front of a candle's flame. The first one went closer and said: I know about love. The second one touched the flame lightly with his wings and said: I know how love's fire can burn. The third one threw himself into the heart of the flame and was consumed. He alone knows what true love is. "

Oamenii din lumea asta sunt asemeni celor trei fluturi din fata flacarii unei lumanari. Primul s-a apropiat si a zis: stiu ce inseamna dragostea.
Al doilea a atins flacara usor cu aripile si a zis: stiu cum arde focul dragostei.
Al treilea s-a aruncat in inima flacarii si a fost mistuit. Numai el stie ce inseamna dragostea adevarata.

20 de ani. in van?



I've posted this video on the Romanian Revolution because the pictures are horribly impressive. I was only two-year-old when the communism fell, so I am not entitled to talk about this. Still, there's just one thing I want to say. I want to thank to those who were my age back then and had the courage to die in order to gain freedom. Because of you I am now able to live a normal life in a free country. No, you didn't die in vain. There are still people who think of you and consider you heroes.

Winter melancholy







I'm home,
if I can feel this as my home.
It's quiet,
terrifyingly quiet.
I can hear
just the snow
cracking
under the sole of my boots.
And the Sun is so cold.

Same landscape
as 10 years ago,
though
everything is different.
Where are the laughters of my friends and the sound of our sleighs?

Yet, somehow I enjoy the warmth of my family and the bitter cold from outside.

Ashes and snow



in my search for absolute things, I hit the wall of relativity.
but then I recall: " the waves are whispering : remember your dreams,
remember your dreams,
remember your dreams,
remember your dreams...''

Rarau- Part II (28-30 nov )







This time it was cold, it wasn't a storm of snow outside but there was definitely one inside myself.
The mountain was still there, but I couldn't see it.

Rarau 20-22 noiembrie 09


















Raraul e cald si toamna e magica acolo. E mai colorata ca oriunde.
Raraul e bland si calm, ca un batran intelept. A ramas in picioare cu fruntea incretita de ani. Raraul e primitor si vesel, asa cum ii sunt bucovinenii.



















































































Au fost 3 zile in care am mers mult, foarte mult.
Singurul lucru ce a lipsit celor 3 zile
a fost linistea pe care o caut mereu la munte,
si asta o crede doar egoista antisociala din mine,
nu si gasca de "trasneala".

Greu sa nu te indragostesti de munte cand cerul are atatea stele si e atat de aproape.

Norway video

Cineflex; Mountains of Sunnmore from Leif Holand on Vimeo.


This is not precisely what the mountains from Norway looked like in my imagination.:)
But the video is impressive as well as the music.

De ce geografia?

De ce geografia? Pentru că îmi place. E singurul motiv pentru care un tânăr ar trebui să dea la geografie. Şi e un motiv al naibii de bun. Fiţi realisti ! Pentru că vreau să lucrez în domeniu, nu poate fi un motiv! Cel putin nu în România. Şi aşa rămâne pasiunea. Pasiunea pentru cea care este Stiinta Pământului, pasiunea pentru tot ce ne înconjoară, pasiunea care te face să iubeşti muntele şi apa şi apoi să începi să le înţelegi.

Când am ales eu Geografia, am facut-o doar cu inima, pentru că raţiunea, familia şi prietenii nu au fost de acord cu decizia mea. Şi în toţi aceşti 3 ani de când urc 103 de trepte aproape în fiecare zi, nu s-a întamplat nici măcar o singură dată să regret această decizie, în ciuda faptului că oamenii se uită cel puţin suspicios la tine când le spui că eşti la geografie, privire urmată de inevitabila întrebare: ” Da ce-ai să faci dupa?”. Însă am devenit imună la astfel de atitudini, si răspunsul meu e clasic: voi fi un şomer care şi-a trăit viaţa şi a făcut ce i-a plăcut. Acum mai mult ca oricând cred că în asta constă frumuseţea vieţii. Nu regret că am ales Geografia, pentru ca pe holul aceasta lung şi in B8 am trăit cei mai frumoşi ani din viaţa mea, am întălnit oameni cu mintea deschisa si cu suflet îndrăzneţ, curajoşi şi plini de viaţă. Sunt trei ani din viaţa mea pe care i-am câştigat, nu i-am pierdut în van. Şi stiu ca îmi va fi dor de băncile din 629, de covrigii Andrei, de forfoteala de pe holuri, de stressul din sesiune, de examenul de la Umană, de cueste, chiar şi de cozile de la secretariat, de ceaiul de la cafenea, de planşele de pe holuri, de hărţile acelea mari şi vechi, de GFR, de cicloni si anticicloni, sinclinali si anticlinali, de şedintele de marţi seara, de sacii de dormit, de boncani, de viaţa de cămin şi mai ales de nebunele de practici.

Oameni buni, veniti la Geografie pentru că vă pasionează, daca nu e cazul, cu toată sinceritatea vă spun: locatia potrivită e vis-a-vis.

'' Cat de mult imi iubesc tara". Episodul 2

Mizeriilor, m-am saturat sa va vad mutra pe toate gardurile, stalpurile, autobuzele, si mai ales pe saracele cladiri. Nu, nu ma voi duce la vot. Voi lasa pe batrani sa aleaga din nou. Asta pentru ca e stupid ca crezi ca "e datoria noastra sa votam". Si datoria lor care este?. Si tot stupid este gandirea de genul "mai bine sa alegi cel mai mic rau decat deloc". Ba nu, mai bine nu-ti asumi o asemenea alegere. Decat "un rau mai mic" mai bine deloc. Voi mizeriilor, ar trebui sa luati absenteismul la vot ca pe un semn de protest, ca pe o dovada ca nimanui nu-i mai pasa.

In Romania nu va exista nici o schimbare majora in urmatorii 30 de ani, asta e o certitudine.

In the name of Science ?

For those interested in Social Psychology I recommend reading about Stanley Milgram's experiment "Obedience to Authority", or watching it on YouTube.
It has a quite impressive result, that makes you wonder : Would I have pressed the button?
I may say that the experiment explains "the Nazi camps phenomenon". The obedience to authority killed millions of people.

Folk

Iacata cu melodiile astea doua m-am delectat eu in seara aceasta in Dublin Pub. Pacat ca e calitate proasta a inregistrarii.

I can't and I don't want to find an explanation to that night. I just felt that reality bended and somehow I didn't know where fantasy began. It was like a time-space distortion. My senses were confused and my reason was in an absolute ataraxy. Happiness became touchable in the moist grass at the of shelter of the dark. And then it suddenly disappear in the night as a blinking light.


Maybe IT WAS just a dream !

The Science of Complexity

This is a subject I am now studying a little bit in university. I've posted it here because I find it really interesting, it's a new way of seeing the world. You can find details here.
To make you even more curious, I'm going to tell you that it involves the famous " butterfly effect".
