Mai deunazi, in timp ce-mi verificam emailul, privirile mi-au fost atrase de un "Sponsored Link" pe care Gmail mi l-a oferit. Era vorba despre "About [EscortAgency]", un site care, dupa descrierea din Google Ad, este dedicat nemultumirii cuiva, vorbind despre un "bad agency and the girl was bad too".

Intrucat taman mi-a sosit cartea ei comandata de pe Amazon, m-am gandit c-a venit momentul episodului II. In primul rand, despre cum am comandat cartea pentru un total de CDN $9.72, platiti cu cartea de credit.

I probably won’t be voting this year. I’m telling you about my failed attempt to register for “vote by correspondence” or “votul prin corespondenta” as well as my passport application.

M-a contactat recent cineva care vroia sa stea de vorba. Era cica o femeie din California si vroia sa vina sa ma vada. Investigatia care urmeaza ar putea sa-ti fie folositoare.

I swore an oath of non-technicality for this blog, but I hereby have to (almost) break it, for the very identity of this blog is being threatened.

Ultima "transa" dintr-o dezbatere de-a Economistului pe teme de educatie este in plina desfasurare, si pe deasupra cineva a lansat niste concursuri de logica avec caciulita.

A venit iar week-endul si poate nu strica sa ne-amintim ca Angela merge inainte si nu mai e mult pana cand nominalizarile OWA iau sfarsit, am inceput sa iau comenzi pentru .TEL si tu vei ramane fara. In cinstea recesiei, am bagat si o lista de muzica.

Numai bine ce incepusem a povesti cumu-i cu validarea la romani (mai precis, lipsa acesteia) ca m-am trezit aproape injurat / linsat. Si cand te gandesti ca exista oameni care-si imagineaza ca eu am blog ca s-agat fömei..

Jinduiesc la concerte.. Inca nu m-am hotarat la nici unul. Ar trebui sa merg la EdgeFest by default, si-apoi macar unul dintre ATP si Lolla..

In primul rand, inteleg ca astfel de discutii pot fi ofensatoare pentru gheii sanatosi emotional - i.e., cine pln-i geony si de ce ne-ar pasa ce crede el? Si tu (adica eu) cin-te crezi? Tatal Tereza al gheilor(zilor)?!? Raspunsul e complex. Pe scurt – imi pare rau, dar e blogul meu si mie-mi plac dezbaterile.

As previously announced, I am presenting here the questions to ask euro candidates. I don’t know when I’ll have a chance to pose the questions, which is why I am posting them here, in the hope that someone else might help asking them and returning the answers.

Suntem noi genetic in acelasi grup cu bulgarii si cu turcii? Andrada Daciana pare sa creada ca National Geographic sustine asta, si mai mult decat atat, ca gresesc si ca noi ar trebui sa le trimitem scrisori de ura si amenintare!

I have in the past voted for the (former) President Basescu and even raised to his defence (more or less) when he was accused of slapping an impertinent child. Yet his latest display of inconsistency is more than I can bear.

ATENTIE! Aceasta este versiunea veche a FAQ-ului - cea noua in pagina.
A venit momentul sa astern pe ecran gandurile pe care le am in legatura cu acest blog. Sunt haotice, asa ca vom incerca sa bagam putina ordine-n dezordine si voi prezenta totul sub forma de FAQ = lista de intrebari care au fost sau ar putea fi adresate frecvent, fervent, efervescent.

Dar dupa ce in prima parte m-am uitat la Andruska si plagiatul NR, aici ne uitam la DeCe si Stash de Cafeina cat si Internerd. Mi-a fost greu sa scriu acest articol, ca nu-mi place sa fiu lup moralist, dar am promis, si n-am incotro.

Ioan Pop, the priest with the All Saints Romanian Orthodox Church was just charged with sexual assault at church. Apparently, a woman barely escaped only after a couple walked in on what was going on.

Nu cu mult timp in urma va povesteam despre .TEL si cat de fain e sa ai un domeniu care sa contina o carte de vizita virtuala si pe care sa-l poti folosi fara pic de hosting, nici macar gratuit. Ei bine, a-nceput sa prinda cheag un numar de telefon atat de international incat nu este legat de nici o tara. Si, desigur, mi-am luat.

The way I experience love, or at least what most people mean by it, is dumb and I haze it. I get jealous, obsessive, cheesy. This kind of love is not enjoyable for me, likely not for the other and I try to avoid it, yet this is the kind most girls I had dated in the past seemed to want.

As expected, we owe most of our understanding of love to the Greeks, who were collecting words to describe it. Some scholars prefer to talk about four kinds, others five, others seven and some go as high as thirty. Here are the most used Greek terms:

• Storge (family affection)
• Philia (brotherly love, co-workers, soldiers, shared goal)
• Eros (romance, passion, desire, sex, physical, strange)
• Agape (god-love – unconditional, self-sacrificing)
• Ludus (flirting, playful, euphoria, uncommitted, non-punctual, believable lies, lovefool)
• Pragma (mutually beneficial, enduring – e.g., marriage)
• Mania (obsessive or possessive; adolescence)
• Philautia (self-respect)

Hendrick^2 & Slapion-Foote^2 (1985) found (hsf-gdisa) that men were more likely to show the ludic type of love, while women were more likely to be storgic or pragmatic – though their research was done on undergrad students.

Purple haze all in my brain
Lately things don't seem the same
Actin' funny but I don't know why
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky

In his 1973 book (.CA, .UK, .FR, .DE, .IT, .ES), John Lee compared styles of love to the color wheel, basing them on the aforementioned Greek words.

Lee’s 6 Styles of Loving

• Three primary styles:
  1. Eros – Loving an ideal person
  2. Ludos – Love as a game
  3. Storge – Love as friendship
• Three secondary styles:
  1. Mania (Eros + Ludos) – Obsessive love
  2. Pragma (Ludos + Storge) – Realistic and practical love
  3. Agape (Eros + Storge) – Selfless love

Now that we have the basic vocabulary, we should also know that there are a few theories of love.

theories

In general, theories moved from a clinical standpoint to a more psychology and socially-based stance.

• Freud’s theory of love centered around the need for an “ego ideal”, which is the person one aspires to be, patterned after those whom one holds in great respect. (On Narcissism, Bourdieu-Lacan, Freud-Lacan)
• Maslow takes the view that only those at the top of his pyramid (self-actualized) are capable of love (Heylighen, Francis). 
• Reik conceptualized a more altruistic, agape type of love in Being love. (Amir, Mathes)
• Zick Rubin proposed that romantic love is based on three elements: attachment (the need to receive care, approval and physical contact), caring (valuing the other person’s needs and happiness as much as your own), intimacy (sharing of thoughts, desires etc). Based on questionnaires, he determined liking vs loving.
• Elaine Hatfield felt that compassionate love is characterized by mutual respect, attachment, affection and trust while passionate love is made of intense emotions, sexual attraction, anxiety and affection. According to her, passionate love is transitory, lasting 6-30 months and it arises when cultural expectations encourage falling in love, when the person meets your preconceived ideas of an ideal love, and when you experience heightened physiological arousal in the presence of the other person. It ideally leads to compassionate love.
• As psychology became more socially based, Sternberg’s (.CA, .UK, .FR, .DE, .IT, .ES) triangular theory of love emerged (not to be confused with Bizarre Love Triangle) and became dominant (w-triang). This theory, illustrated above, holds that “consummate love” is the most complete, as it involves Intimacy, Passion and Commitment. The other types of love involve a combination of only 2 or just one.

The Attachment Theory (w-att) is very important in psychology and it deals with patterns learned in early childhood and how they determine people’s response within relationships when hurt, separated from loved ones or perceiving a threat. Four different attachment classifications have been identified in children: secure attachment, anxious-ambivalent attachment, anxious-avoidant attachment, and disorganized attachment.

If you can imagine the central point of the triangular theory – consummate love – being elevated (through the power of love, of course) out of its planar complacency to a pyramidal vertex and what do you get? Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, of course! :)

Purple haze all around
Don't know if I'm comin' up or down
Am I happy or in misery?
Whatever it is, that girl put a spell on me

Purple haze is not to be confused with Purple Rain.

LE: Two things: I know about the "languages of love" and I think it's BS - the main idea being that most women prefer "words", while men, actions, so there goes that "theory" and secondly, Hendrix probably talks about love as an excuse for getting high with "illegal dreams" which is not my thing.

Am dat-o cu Miorita hindusa, l-am introdus pe Campbell s-ale sale multe fete in lumina reflectorului, a mai ramas sa-i prezentam pe cei ramasi in umbra, care-au lucrat intr-una pe tacute dar n-au ajuns niciodata asa proeminenti precum Campbell.

I wanted to write a story on my Targus Bluetooth Keyboard paired to my Galaxy Nexus. It's a less used setup, but likely to become more permanent  due to my laptop / SSD getting busted. What would make a good story? Hard to tell, but it must be something that will write itself; otherwise, I'll have too many double letters and typos left uncorrected.
