“I have a tendency not only to see the best in everyone, but to assume that everyone is emotionally capable of reaching his highest potential. I have fallen in love more times than I care to count with the highest potential of a man, rather than with the man himself, and I have hung on to the relationship for a long time (sometimes far too long) waiting for the man to ascend to his own greatness. Many times in romance I have been a victim of my own optimism.”

10 days of freedom, please. - Coming up.

It is the day after tomorrow that I forsake this city of mine, which nonetheless I love so very much. The only thought crossing my mind, is changing the return ticket. Maybe moving it several days after my 10 days of freedom pass by. After all, I have absolutely nothing to do here and no one is waiting for me impatiently to come back really.
I'm going to Athens for this test I decided to take and I'm guessing that this is a reason I was looking for, so I can take a leave of absence from this house. 10 care free days, with no nagging, no loud talking, no shouting even, no misery, no psychological tension, free to smoke while watching a movie, no criticism. Very important the last one. Instead, I'm having some alone relaxing time, having-fun-with-best-friends time, change of scenery and most importantly, people. How cool is this? Maybe you wouldn't know, but for me it is very very cool and what I really expected a long time ago. So..... hooray!

*The weather is not very helpful but I don't fucking care. I'm traveling even with a tsunami coming my way.

Article thing

You know, I like the article writing so far. It's been only one I know but tomorrow I'm handing in my second one and I'm really excited because even though I know nothing about journalism or even serious writing, I get to learn a lot of stuff. Seems that doing research on the internet and writing about it helps me to remember all of these stuff. It's very interesting and important to me. If I was just reading all this information for me, to get some knowledge and wisdom, I probably would have forgotten half of it in a week. It's kind of inexcusable to myself but I've reached a point in my life where it seems I don't really care about anything, except my future which is very very uncertain at the moment. Therefore, I'm concerned about it, I have trouble concentrating on anything else, trouble on remembering stuff and serious lack of motivation.
So the articles every week give me motivation, knowledge, concentration and in general the whole situation is helpful. And wait for the time that I start getting paid! No I'm not getting paid, I told you we're not New York Times. Maybe sometime, maybe when I become famous...

ACTA

Oh wow it's been a whole week. What is the matter? I do not know.
But I do know that tomorrow, in one of the local newspapers, I'm reading an article written by me! Yeahy... I'm so excited, I think I'm a journalist, already have an audience and writing in New York Times!
Anyway, I wrote about SOPA/PIPA, ACTA and all that stuff that keeps us concerned these days. Well some of the stuff and some of us obviously. But for you who don't know what ACTA is about, please take your time and check it out. It's really really crucial that you are informed about it, as it is a multinational agreement which aims to establish an international legal framework for targeting counterfeit goods, generic medicines and crop seeds and copyright infringement on the Internet.
