Hey everyone! Today I have something cute for you to watch. Sybex, the founder of the Greek demogroup "rev:eng", has made this clip called Sophia for a poem that he has recently wrote. He asked me to post the clip here so everyone can watch and comment. He'd like to know your on it.=)
Having been ridiculously busy in the past week or so, I hadn't found the time to check out my favorite blogs. Now that I finally stole the time to do some reading, I figured that Optimus has passed on a kind of a pyramidoid game to me, where you basically write down 5 things about you that your readers might not already know. Hmmm ok, then I guess I'm not gonna write stuff like I'm into electronics or I listen to tons of music. Hmmmmm.... what am I gonna write... lets see. =)
1 - I tend to remember stuff, and I mean that in a bit of an unusual way. The details of everything that happens to me, everything I hear, everything I see or smell or taste... I remember everything in details, no matter how long later you ask me about it. I have clear memory of my childhood, even very early stages. Even if there's something that I don't remember right away, if I sit down and concentrate on it for a few minutes, I can recall the whole thing with high-def picture and surround sound. Now this thing, is both a blessing and a curse. Blessing aspect of it is ... well... memorizing stuff, very handy while studying... specially when I'm studying something like a new language or so... or remembering the lines of the books I read [and well I read plenty] .. or remembering the sound track for every single movie I see [lol =P]. Oh well, it's a useful thing. Hoowwwever, the curse aspect comes in when I'm dealing with memories that I don't like to remember!! I mean naturally it happens for everyone, events that one might not really like, dark memories... stuff that most people tend to send to the recycle bin of their mind. No such luck for me, I have the carry the whole thing for... well.. basically forever.
2 - I'm an optimist. I believe in the bigger image and the higher force, and I believe that everything happens for a good reason. I've had a life full of events... full of ups and downs, and I have came to believe that I may or may not see the reason for what happens right away, but in time I will. And when I see that... somehow it's always for the best.
3 - I LUV LEGO. =) I've always loved LEGO, ever since I was a kid I was deeply into it, and even now... I seem to only get more and more interested. =)) I like to sit down and put together the pieces and bits for hours and hours and hooooooooours, and design my perfect spaceship or submarine or robot or a little tech city full of... well... all mentioned. =)) Some people say that's because I'm a logical thinker... or engie student... or she-nerd. =)) I donno.... that may be.... but I just love the total peace of mind it gives me. And of course I do enjoy playing with others!! =)))
4 - If someone asks me where I'm from, I usually say that I'm Persian. From Iran, that is. Because I was born and raised there. However, if you want to break it down to the genetics, then it gets a bit more complicated than that. And I mean... very... complicated. =)) Here's a list of where I'm genetically from [as in, where my parents routes] , the higher in the list has the bigger part: - Welsh - Persian - Azeri - Indian - Turkish - Russian Addition: My friend insists that I should add that I'm also considered a Canadian now, having lived here for a while... and the citizenship and everything. Well, one more for the list. =)))
5 - In my entire life, I've fallen in love only once, and it's been the most precious gift in the whole existence. Thank you for everything, Oli. =) <3 <3 <3
Well, that's my 5 facts. =) Now I'm supposed to pass this on to 5 other people, and that's not gonna be easy, because apparently some people like writing something like this, and some don't. Well I'm not gonna pass this directly to anyone, I'm just gonna say this to everyone who's reading this article: Write the 5 facts if you like to, and let me know if you do so! =D
Update: Well it seems like so far 2 people have managed to write the 5 facts. =) Check them out: Appearing Offline Genox
Ok hmm... this is gonna be a bit of a ridiculous post, but it seems necessary, since I keep getting asked the same question over and over again. So here's the answer: The pair of glasses that I wear every now and then, are not exactly medical glasses. Yeah I'm talking about the blue frames. The glasses have got AR Coat, so to some limited extent they help prevent the eyes from getting exceedingly tired, while staring at the monitor for long hours. Of course the even more important reason for wearing them, is simply the fact that I like glasses. Ok? =PPPP I hope it's all clear now! =))
So... to make the long story short, my mom's flying back home on Wednesday afternoon. Well, you might have some idea what that implies. Meanwhile I'm also learning some other heart-bleeding lessons. Things that I don't know how I'm supposed to interpret... and how I should feel about... and I'm just.. shocked. Oh well. "Lovely" days altogether!
Below are the lyrics I just received in an email from a very dear friend. Thank you. I love this song by the way. PHIL COLLINS - TRUE COLORS
You with the sad eyes Don't be discouraged Oh I realize It's hard to take courage In a world full of people You can lose sight of it all And the darkness, inside you Can make you feel so small
But I see your true colors Shining through I see your true colors And that's why I love you So don't be afraid to let them show Your true colors True colors are beautiful, Like a rainbow
Show me a smile then, Don't be unhappy, can't remember When I last saw you laughing If this world makes you crazy And you've taken all you can bear You call me up Because you know I'll be there
And I'll see your true colors Shining through I see your true colors And that's why I love you So don't be afraid to let them show Your true colors True colors are beautiful, Like a rainbow
So sad eyes Discouraged now Realize
When this world makes you crazy And you've taken all you can bear You call me up Because you know I'll be there
And I'll see your true colors Shining through I see your true colors And that's why I love you So don't be afraid to let them show Your true colors True colors, true colors
Cos there's a shining through I see your true colors And that's why I love you So don't be afraid to let them show Your true colors, true colors True colors are beautiful, Beautiful, like a rainbow...
Ok here goes an ESPECIAAAAAAAL post for my ESPECIIIIIIAAAAAAAALLLLLLLL Greek friend, Eelytheria a.k.a lady Freedom! It's her 25th birthday, so everybody shout HAPPY 25th BIRTHDAY FREEEEEDOOOMMMMMM!! :D
This weblog is a
collection of my random thoughts. It's as simple as that. What I write here
is for my friends, or anyone else who might find it worth reading. This is
not a tech blog, a science blog, a lyrics blog or...although you might find
either one of those topics in here "randomly". I appreciate comments very much, so
if you have any thoughts about something that you read here please drop me a
line and let me know. So...after all this, welcome to my weblog, thanks for
visiting and enjoy your stay! =)
