@BAndreescu_ (#BiancaAndreescu, ofc) catapulted herself so fast to stardom that I am having difficulties forming a mental picture of her. And so are most of her new fans, attracted to her rising star like loving insects to the blinding light. I’ll be giving you 3 reasons, not counting the intro, but if you can only remember / have time for one, remember creative visualization.

M-am uitat recent la clipul "I Kissed a Girl" - Kate Perry si mi-am amintit de cantecul omonim al lui Jill Sobule. Ca blog oficial al primului sarut si a concursului omonim nu se puteam s-o scap, nu? Si m-am trezit scriind iar amintiri din pubertate.

Blegoo, previously profiled and published here, took some time off from shovelling to write an article for this blog, as a guest. I’m publishing it here as encouragement (longer version), with the spelling mistakes left uncorrected but listed at the end, and also detailing there the formatting work I (still) had to do.

Though inordinate, this childhood memory was quite far from being an extraordinary event, and as such, I wasn't going to write about it. But a recent, excellent article but this quasi-famous disciple of an even more famous philosopher caused me to reconsider and share this story with you.

Il citam nu demult pe Bendeac, care zicea c-a-nvatat "cum se face" de la Rocco. Eu am invatat de la mai multi, si-n special de la micul Prince. E usor sa fii sexy cand esti inalt, frumushal si o ai mare, functionala si-ti ia cel putin 1h sa termini. Ce te faci cand nu?

I thought I start the series of “Women I once dated” (WI1F) with someone I didn’t really date.

My resolve to stop speaking about the difference between Roma / Gypsies and Romanians was recently shaken by an Irish couple, one of whom had a Roma sister adopted from Romania.

I've a bad habit of opening tons of tabs as I research topics, then forget to close them as I move on to new knowledge pastures. I was yesterday greeted by a loud motherboard alarm as it was overheating. Normally, I just dump them into my various Tumblr blogs, but today, as I close my tabs, I'll dump them into this article.

Honest Ed is an iconic “Canadian Kwik-E-Mart” that will forever close its doors on December 31, 2016. If you are wondering what does this have to do with the recently arraigned Ion Iliescu, well, I couldn’t find another rhyme.

In primul episod am inceput cu neuroplasticitatea si acum ajung la Csikszentmihalyi si a sa "state of flow" sau stare de curgere. Nimic altceva decat o Nirvana a productivitatii, sau starea inefabila in care munca se scurge silentios si fara frecare, de la sine.

I’ve two heavy things on my mind right now, and unlike WhatsApp frustrations, I don't think I'll be able to balance them with some happier, care-free thoughts. The second part of the title was inspired by a comment left by Blegoo about a year ago.

Whenever I talk to Romanians who want to come to Canada and I answer questions, I always end up being a bit upset. I find that people ask me too many simple questions they could answer themselves with Google and too few of the “important” questions. Maybe there’s a guru hiding inside of me, and here’s where I set him free.

Anumite discutii din ultima vreme, vremea de rahat de-afara, certuri cu un prieten, si-alte alea m-au cufundat intr-o stare cam proasta. Dac-as fi pictor, s-ar chema "perioada albastra".

Un studiu recent publicat mai adauga un crampei in intelegerea legaturii intre ruginirea creierului si alti factori externi, cum ar fi gripa. Si totusi, nimic nou sub soare..

Azi m-am ocupat de-o multime de tampenii. In primul rand, Lombardo avea chef de shopping, eu aveam nevoie de cateva chestii si n-am permis de conducere, asa c-am fost cu el la Walmart. Dar de fapt asta-i o simpla introducere pentru un rant (adica un monolog unde-mi revars dracii).

Incepusem sa discut in articolul precedent etica muncii. Dar mai am ceva de zis, si-anume amintirile muzicale din anii '90.

Intai a venit cineva din blogroll care-mi tot ingropa articolele pe agregatoarele de stiri cu leapsa cu 7 cantece. P-orma Gogu de la Blogu' lu' Gogu arunca si el leapsa asta in directia mea (1). Si cand 2 iti zic sa canti, apuca-te bade, si scrie!

Cateodata  am chef sa ma uit la clipuri de muzica, dar nu orice. Cele mai tari, cele mai populare, cele mai vizionate si top of the charts nu ma reprezinta intotdeauna, nu-mi regasesc gusturile in ele. Iata de ce aceste 40-45 clipuri ma incanta – raman cu tine o vreme..

In prima parte am inceput mai general, cu citate din Nietzsche si o lista iutub. Aici-sa zicem cu detalii si carti existentialiste si general-introductive.

Trisez. Scriu articolul cu 3 zile intarziere. Dar atatea s-au intamplat in acest rastimp, c-as putea face un blog numai cu asta. Prefer insa sa pastrez aceasta posibilitate in taramul teoriei.
