No matter what team you support in this world cup ...
No matter who is your favorite fan ...
No matter how much you know (or agree with me) about the level of Argentina and Serbia's football ...
Just remember that trashing Serbia 6-0 is a significant achievement ...
The Phoenix might have been already arisen from ashes!
Do you agree Juan?!
I was asked by many how my job is different from my studies.
Sneaking through Dr. Jones's web page, gave me this idea to use this link to answer your question.
The picture above shows my old school ... the below picture is of the place I am working now ... the comparison up to you.
Choose life.
Choose a job.
Choose a starter home.
Choose dental insurance, leisure wear and matching luggage.
Choose your future.
But why would anyone want to do a thing like that?
... Trainspotting ... a great movie
No matter what race, color, sex, nation or age you are ... If you don't appreciate this greatest sport event ... World cup ... your body suffers from adrenaline deficiency.
Even if you walk off the pitch with your tails between your legs ... you can not ignore the glory of these days.
Irony ... I swallowed my sorrows with 6 packs of Corona.
I love these lines from Seinfeld ... Elaine lines were exactly mine at many occasions:
... Because I hate being at a table alone, with a married couple.
... Talking about their married friends, and their married furniture.
... They're always trying to make me feel like their life is so much better.
... You know, I have a very exciting life.
... It's very exciting.
IMPORTANT: this post doesn't mean I spent most of my time in the wash room ... but maybe it means my brain reaches its peak of activity in that confinement ... and honestly I have not taken this photo.
They put these vending machines (or whatever they call them) in rest rooms every where ... you name it ... bars, restaurants, airports, subways(=metro=tube=under ground), train stations ...
But why not in the WC in companies/universities ... as I'm quite sure (at least in my experience), you have a higher chance of getting down to business with some one who you meet on daily bases ... rather than someone you meet in a rush on a platform or a gate ... unless you believe in junk Hollywood movies ... which in that case don't come back to read my scribbles any more.
All rights of this intellectual property are reserved ... unless you used to work in the University of Nottingham.
One of my predictable photo-shots from sky scrapers (Lord: not scarpers) in down town(=city center) TO.
My fingers were locked and couldn't click on the camera shutter ... for couple of weeks ... as I had to change my allowable threshold for an acceptable shot in a new town like TO.
From now on ... Ill try to be more generous when it comes to clicking.
I celebrated my 100 days of solitude ... by having a TETLEYS ... with my book + camera + mp3 player in down town TO ... as there is nothing as good as a decent ale in a hot sunny day.
Couple of days later ... on a radio station ... they were saying how good it is to have screw caps or tetra packs instead of corks for wine bottles.
As far as I know from my picky wine expert EU friends ... that alcoholic liquid ... can not be called wine any more.
In my youth ... I spent some days with a TEAM of nice people soil profiling in London (not in Ontario) ...
Thanks to Wright Brothers ... the team members now live in 3 different continents ...
The experince of those couple of days has been the most useful knowledge I have used so far in the new job.
The initial idea of writing a Blog ... if I can keep it up ... was initiated by the Lord.
Although, I spent a good hour exploring it and writing my first post, I lost the reason/need for writing ... and the why question bothered me for a while.
I became even more disappointed when I saw the reasons people have listed for their writing.
After days of wondering, I came up with these answers ...
I write to ... keep in touch with many friends I think I have in various galaxies ...
I write to ... record my strangle of thoughts ...
I write to ... release/share my good/bad/ugly moments ...
Also bare in mind that I don't write ... to impress, make you laugh or to make my voice heard ... as according to 2 honest persons I stopped doing these at 1976.
PS: This photo was taken in Bath by a French photographer ... if you have been to UK but haven't been to Bath ... I am sorry for you ... as you you have missed a beautiful city.
