Daca timp de 20 de ani, cei care ne conduc au scapat relativ usor de furia poporului, acest lucru nu poate sa dureze la infinit. Pentru ca amintirea lui 89′ e ca un poem de lupta, de razboi, pe care romanii il iau foarte serios, cand au senzatia ca sunt asupriti.

Ceea ce se intampla acum nu e deloc surprinzator. Mi se pare chiar un pic ciudat ca a durat atat de mult pana cand romanii s-au trezit. Ceea ce mi se pare si mai ciudat e faptul ca PDL le-a servit romanilor pe tava pretextul.

N-au vazut ei oare sondajele? Ca romanii mai aveau putin si isi bagau aia in ei de presedinte, premier, uda-rea, si toti ceilalti bufoni din fruntea tarii?

Stiu,stiu au mai fost mitinguri de protest din 89′ incoace… dar atunci se striga de obicei “vrem o viata decenta” .. “nu va bateti joc de noi”… chestii din astea.

Acum, cuvintele folosite :”dictator.. sangele revolutionarilor (si altre trimiteri la 89′ ) ” dau acestui sir de proteste o semnificatie aparte. Si o importanta covarsitoare : de acum incolo, inainte de fiecare lege bagata cu forta, politicienii trebuie sa ia in considerare acest tip de consecinte.

Chiar fara morti si raniti, daca asemenea manifestari mai continua mult, sau se intampla relativ des, credibilitatea conducatorilor va scadea enorm in ochii restului lumii.

Si inca ceva, desi samanta de ura basesciana exista de mult in vintrele noastre, trebuia sa existe un grup initiator. E mult mai usor pentru oricine sa se alature unui grup decat sa il formeze.

Pentru asta, multumesc pe cale oficiala initiatorilor. Din care au facut parte si 2 prietene, una in Cluj, si cealalta in Bucuresti.

Peaceful , fulfilling , (re)discovered, remembering , healing , illuminated , joyous , sweet, memorable. This year was for me.

I got from up to down so many times I cant even remember. I did several unthinkable things, I had the opportunity to test myself in some circumstances, and realize how much more different I behave now.

I got from little-to-no mercy towards cowards to complete forgiveness towards everyone.

I went from knowing a pattern, to living it, to it crushing me, and finally to me redrawing that pattern.

I’ve read far less than I wanted. I wrote even less.

I found out that people perceive me as arrogant. Soon after, I experienced what true arrogance really is.

But after all is said and done, I know for a fact that I will forget almost everything else, except for one particular night.

Because in that one moony night, I was embraced.

And even tough our minds weren’t synchronized, our lips were.

Look out for : REN HARVIEU

The more I skank, the more I forget.

I discovered that song in January of 2011 ( which is like 10 whole months ago ). Seeing it reach nb 1 in my home country is maybe a good sign that music here will change from “bumtzi-bumtzi” to something more refined.

anyway here are 10 songs which might make it in romanian mainstream, but probably not before August of 2012

Nu se misca, si nu parea sa vrea sa imi spuna ceva. Eu in schimb, vroiam cu nespusa ardoare sa il fac sa zica ceva. Nici macar nu isi misca ( semnificativ ) fata. Dar am stiut ca este El din doua indicii : gandul numelui Lui mi-a venit in minte ( ca si cum, totusi, aceea ar fi fost calea de comunicare dintre noi ), si salutul ( energic ) initial.

Nu stiu importanta sau semnificatiile intalnirii. Dar ca multe alte lucruri care mi se intampla in aceasta viata, nici nu simt nevoia sa le stiu.

Done.
