Urbanism vs. nature

Or



vs.



Love them both and hate them both. I got one , want the other. Find myself in the jungles of urbanisation, miss the jungles of nature. I miss Europe, but soon I will be missing the tropics.

What if I become a travel journalist?

Same

Ей такива ми ти работи пускаха снощи из баровете на Сан Хосе. А аз- замаяна- след 2 текили, 4 бири и едни скромен ром с кола- осъзнавах че част от хубавите русокоски наоколо имат адамови ябълки и широки рамене. Стана ми едно такова ...как да кажа...Европейско. Върнах се назад към любимите ми барове из градовете където се приютяваха нощтите ми неотдавна: City в Барселона, De Beoulevad в Бреда, Петното Пловдив (ама долу на подземния етаж - ей там е истината). Не- истината е, че навсякъде е еднакво. Едни и същи момчета на токчета, едни и същи момичета на групички, едни и същи ритми, едни и същи недопити бири вън на улицата, един и същи цигарен дим по дрехите сутринта. Не че писва- даже напротив. Просто ми стана смешно как години наред ходя по същтите места, със същтите дрехи и хора.

Чудя се кога и как ще настъпи промяна. Ако настъпи изобщо и един ден след 10 години не се събуждам вече с неясни спомени, воняща на цигари и тела, с музика в главата наподобяваща тази там горе на видеото.

We are trains ourselves

Back from the clouds

Kami has returned from the cloud forest with only a few insect bites, loads of adrenaline from canopying and clean lungs. Canopying btw is an interesting rainforest activity that kinda freezes your blood as you hang up there 100 meters above the ground. Imagine a forest up in the clouds with a few high points and a massive space in between. Those high points are connected with electrical rope and you are connected to this electrical rope by some weird to me gadgets and you are moving speedily from one high point to another. Scary stuff but it’s the funniest way to get a glimpse of the vastness and wildness of a cloudforest. As high as the the three tops you hang out there in the middle of the sky, space assumes new dimetions and you feel like little bug trapped in a spidernet.

If traveling is a drug I will soon need a rehab but..
The green was soothing,
the spiders bigger than the urban ones,
the birds were colorful
the nights were jazzy

Night travel

She wants revenge

Recently I have begun to notice that You tube has created some filtering of videos. Meaning that I cannot find original video clips. Or at least most of the videos are hidden and you have to go to page 14 to find the original video of New Order’s “Crystal” Why? Publisher’s rights? May be, may be. Or may be the information flow is slowly getting limited and the Telecom Packages will be put into action without notice. Hope not!

In the meantime I wanted to share this video. A new band from California that joins my playlist. She Wants Revenge.

Me too, Youtube!!!

Die Welle

Erstaunlich! One of the coolest movies I've seen recently.

Pandemic !?!?!?

So yeah here we go again! Global Pandemic! I am a member of so many online clubs for traveling, sleep-over, backpacking and the like and I cannot believe that everybody falls into the same trap. Not global pandemic, my dears, but global FEAR. Yeah that’s the one that we have to fight. So, I am being sent cancellations of all sorts, “Meeting in Cancun cancelled because of deadly “virus””, “Cinema night – better not”, “Be careful with letting Mexicans Couch Surfers stay at you house”. I mean damn it people.. CNN and BBC show some numbers of questionable credibility, blaming it all on Mexico and that’s it. Fear, panic, stay at home, wash your hands 5 times a day, and do not touch each other. And nobody even thinks about how on Earth just out of the blue comes a deadly virus that has the potential of killing millions and become a global health threat? Simple answer…it cannot! It has either been carefully planned in advance to serve I don’t know whose interests and sprung out of some lab somewhere (hey AIDS did not come to Africa and Europe on its own right, so I doubt that it originates from Mexico City) or it’s just another scam by the media. To impose fear on us, to make us feel insecure, deepening (or may be shifting away the attention from) the economic crunch so when one day they come up with the solution we will be happy and desperate to accept it. Right? Vaccination, police control, unexpected examination of your house (if you are lucky to still have one) because you are “suspected” of having the virus. Well that almost happened to us – me and my housemate- but we said “No way!” She became a “suspect” just because she was coughing and went to buy some medicine. How crazy is that?

And everybody on TV is sooooo “stunned” all the time. “Amazing”, “Unexpected”, “Stunning”, “I’m baffled”. Sorry, but it just sound funny to me everything they say. Everything. And it’s sad that people DO NOT QUESTION all that. They simply watch TV, read newspapers and here we are.....another global thread. I mean I am getting confused now… what should we worry about first...Weapons of Mass Destruction, Global Financial Crisis or the New (manufactured) Pandemic?

Fear is the enemy. Not the Iraqis, not the economy and not the swine flue. Fear will not only take your freedoms away but even worse… will make you want to grant your own freedom to the eventual “saviors”. Oh don’t worry; Mr. Hope Obama is here to save us all. Right? Hope and Change. Nicee. Now I feel better.

I will be happy to read what do you think on this topic.
Thank you!

Hope on trial

'I'm hungry, mum, can I have some hope, please?'
'I'm so sorry, darling, you can't have hope today, only tomorrow - hope is always tomorrow.'
'So will I eat tomorrow, mum?'
'We can hope so now, dear, but when we get to tomorrow, we can only hope it's the next day.'
