We are a lot lot more than oxygen, hydrogen and carbon chemical substances or reactions, we have a soul, nothing can change that and the soul is an element extremely powerful, has exceptional abilities and is very, very complex.
tbiy2c? The best is yet to come! A way of life, an optimistic approach to life a first, solid step towards achieving a dream. If you want something good to happen, if you believe it will, if you plan for it, then it will happen! As long as you really want it. As long as you are committed to it as your aim.
Born in Athens, I lived most of my younger adult life in Thessalonika, capital of Macedonia, North Greece, (and Macedonia was, is and will ALWAYS be Greek, ignore all this FYROM nonsense and propaganda), Heraklion (Crete) and Patras (Peloponese). Back in 1990, after finishing a University degree in tourism, I moved to Manchester UK in pursue of an adventure, a post graduate diploma, a career, in a nutshell, a new lifestyle. With some exceptions, corrections and sometimes significant deviations from the original plan, I believe I achieved many of my so far aims, and the best is yet to come, no matter the obstacles.
Life is full of ups and downs, I came to experience that, on many occasions, but, taking on board what Confucius said, countless generations ago, "our greatest glory is not in never falling, but rising every time we fall" I try to find a good side in everything bad see the good side of things, learn from mistakes, use them as stepping stones and turn what others see as a disaster or a persona non grata, say petty, rude, ill mannered, neurotic individuals, (and the world is full of Nicolae and Helena Ceaucescu, both male and female versions), into something more easy to cope with, maybe a challenge or a lesson. Sometimes a horrible person turns out to be a blessing! Not easy... I know... If no joy, leave and move on.
My interests, well, I don't know where to start from, I love music, cinema, good food, science, fashion, intl news, reading, IT, anything with a touch of suspense. I am very interested in geology, mineralogy, I used to like Eurovision (when it was Eurovision, now is a mixup), a Silva life system follwer and a good backgammon player (Jack of all trades... eh no, simply many interests). Not sporty, but water is my second nature. Swimming is something I adore, real sea or swimming pool, I am not fussy, that lightness... I love it, after all I am a fish! I mean pisces, I love water!
I like to eat, I like to drink, I like entertainment and the family. I like to enjoy and knock on wood it is nice I can live this way. People and friends, enough to keep me busy, however, I sometimes enjoy my own company. A good film, lets say... The 9th Gate, The Devil's advocate (I love Al Pacino), a good horror, sci-fi or a Stephen King film, songs by Mylene Farmer, Sinatra, Bassey or Monica Naranjo, or classical music with a glass of wine and a nice snack, (preferably Greek Meze), can really keep me occupied. My plans for the future, well, travelling, a villa by the sea somewhere in the Mediterranean, a healthy bank account and above all, good health, or as good as possible, under the circumstances. I may ask for too much but hey, its my life, its my game. Fights? yes, quite a few, some I lost like we all do, but I try to never lose a war. And my favourite part is when the opponent hasn't realized the real result ;-) Here shall we say, ignorance is... bliss! Hmm reed "The art of the deal" by Donald J. Trump... nice book!
The beginning of a new millennium. A new land, full of opportunities, ups and downs, new people, new challenges, so many new things to experience. I have set my targets, I am determined to achieve them and by doing what is necessary and correct in the long run, I will. All of them. Its a long way, but rewarding. Difficulties? Yes, maybe some, but remember, sometimes the end justifies the means, problem solved... if you see what I mean. The approach scratch my back, I ll scratch yours also helps, quid pro quo, that's a key.
Be optimistic remain positive and you will get what you want at the end. Life is not a preset puzzle, you choose the pictures and colors you like, you make your own collage. Say no to what is hopelessly gray and without soul, look for the colours, look for the sun. Avoid gray people and situations, they can only drag you down. Sometimes life throws bad things and people at you, face them, fight them, turn them round ! If this is impossible then ignore them, forget that they exist. This will obliterate them. You don't want them to take your energy. To a great extend, we are responsible for most of the good and bad things in our lives neither our Gods, Devils or luck is. We are. Gods, Demons, luck, all personify good or bad things happening to us, just that. We make the world we live in, we make our own lives and nothing is irreversible. Science is a "religion", a fact, with verifiable, measurable cause and effects. There is a logic behind everything, all the rest is tales, myths and fantasies.
Don't be afraid of being alone, if you can't be alone then you cannot be with anyone. Self respect, listening to and loving yourself are essential for any successful relation/relationship, one could say prerequisites but don't stay alone for too long, it is boring. Anyway, think of the excitement and experience! Plus. you don't want to end up like Norma Desmond from Sunset Boulevard or Ebenezer Scrooge!
Thanks for the visit, you are very welcome to have a look at my fav links.This webpage was designed for easy and quick reach of what I like or interests me, you may find something that you like :) And enjoy life. We are down here only once, the next stop is possibly in one of the multiple Universes, Higgs boson theories from the Cern experiment, and String theories, so lets make a difference, lets enjoy! In here we exist only once. Solo se viva una vez! Monica says it all in her 1995 song.
If things go wrong... stand up and FIGHT! Don't get mad, don't get even... get EVERYTHING! Sounds like Ivana Trump, but look what she achieved, (she is my hero, by the way ).
And believe it, you deserve the best and THE BEST IS YET TO COME!
Siempre Viva, live for ever!
