Saturday night. Nothing to do. Just saw the pilot of Vampire Diaries. It was ok I guess. Twilight-ish. Listening to random songs on youtube. Mgmt - Kids playing now. I find myself with no material to blog lately. And it bothers me a lot. I couldn't wait to finish with the army and the exams to start blogging again. And now i got nothing to say. Funny eh? So i shall share a bit.
I started to get my old self together the last week. I finally passed my last exam, it's just that i wont graduate on November. I decided to retake some courses in order to improve my average, since I will need a better average for my master's degree applications. That's what my professors advised me to do. I got a 6,29 out of ten and i need a 6,5. I finally spent a carefree week after a very long time. Saw some friends, bought a new portable 500Gb hard drive to back up my stuff from my laptop. I formatted it today, and it's finally working in a decent manner. Remember the name by Fort Minor playing now.
So now i gotta study 3-4 courses, and while at it i am thinking of getting a bit creative. Get a job or two, just enough to gather my monthly expenses. Start lessons for my driver's license. Start exercising again. Read some literature. Quit smoking for one more time. Spend less time online. After a few days i find it really tiring being online almost all day. I am turning into a zombie. A zombie that plays games on facebook. And i realize that it's beyond sad. What was life before facebook? Even before internet? I barely remember it. Running up the hill by Placebo playing now.
I ain't gonna play in the mud, like old times, but i can sure stay away from interwebz. Or at least spend less time. Just the basics. E-mails, some chat, tv series (oh this year is gonna be a riot), some xanga.
The ex is being really annoying lately. Calling frequently, showing that semi-fake interest in my life. Just to verify that i am still speaking to her, that her well being is on top on my list of interests. Douchebag-gy? That's what i am thinking. I should finally grow the nerve to end that shit. Our phone conversations are like a record playing on repeat. What does that say about me? Or her? Hypocrites? I don't know. I find it polite to behave like that to her. But on the other hand it sure gets annoying, listening to the same things over and over again. Time will tell. I seem to want to change. And that's good. I think..Now that i found you by sundayman is playing.
Off to go for drinks!

Humbug

see relatedRequiem For A Tree (Fires In Greece)
150.000 square meters turned into ashes in only 4 days. Areas of thick forests, some illegal houses in between and some hundreds of houses in populated areas. All these some kilometers north of Athens. People saw their lives labors being destroyed in a matter of minutes, as these fires are the worst in the last 20 years. High velocity winds in addition to the high temperatures make the extinguish of the the fire next to impossible. Arson? Human mistake? Land hungry businessmen? We wont know for at least some time.
But i blame the government. Our beloved government that is there in our every day lives. To squeeze us out of our every last breath. They are still incompetent to help putting out the fires. They stay put, as if they boggled, just trying to justify their lack of action. I read in the paper today that the limited resources are an outcome of an economy policy! Lets see now..
1) Air patrols above high danger areas were cut even though some airplane clubs made their planes available as long as the government paid for the fuel.
2)The new orders to the fire department are that when a fire starts first they use the ground units. If they can't control it then the airplanes and helicopters fly to the rescue.
3)3.000 open spaces in the fire department were not occupied. We got the proper equipment but we got not enough personnel to use it.
4)For nine years now military helicopters are not used in fire fighting, because the salt water corrodes their engines, making them unable for their tasks, some of which are to transport generals, ministers and priests around the country.
All those in the name of economy! When they steal people's money they don't care about economy. People are tired of politicians and their false hopes they give to the people. Other than smoke, I smell riots again. This is way too much, and people are enough of it. I hope it doesn't rain at all in September, because major floods will occur, with all that forest being burned to ashes. I hope they salvage a tree from all those that burn. So that they can go and hang themselves.
PS. By govenment i mean the Greek one.
There it is. Athens by night (23 August 2009). Yeah these are fires in the back
Con Over and out.

Intimacy
By Bloc Party
see relatedBoring Sunday night
Since i came back to my old normal life, after nine months of living in army barracks, I noticed that many things have changed. That's normal, one could say. After so much time, you can't expect to find things as you left them. Change is more than normal, especially if it's not affecting you directly.
Maybe it's the season; being in August and all - things tend to be a bit slow. People are in vacation, relaxing, resting from all year's workload. Maybe it's the fact that almost all of my friends are away. Maybe it's the fact that my folks are absorbed in their own lives and problems (which I missed, all that time I was away). Maybe it's the fact that I am still trying to adapt back to my old habits, with the pressure of time, since I have an exam for my last course in university coming in less than two weeks.
I dunno, but i see everything around me hypotonic. All this friction at home seems pointless, even fake. Say things just to say them. Just to mess around with everyone's head, to piss somebody off.. I hope this time i will pass the fcuking exam, and free myself from the undergraduate status. I need to go on. Hopefully, a master's degree in pharmaceuticals is the next step. New city, new life, fresh start.
I am searching for these pills but i can't find them!
Random rant i guess. Meh, we all have those. Con over and out!

Today, after nine months and one day, i woke up as a citizen again. My army days are over(hopefully). So this is the end of my hiatus. I hope to be able to write frequently. But as all things that i want to do from now on, it will take some time. I have a gazillion things that i want to set into motion, but first study my ass off to get my degree. So, hello! I am finally back!
Citizen Con, over and out!
