μύνημα για όλα τα τρελλόπαιδα που έχω γνωρίσει εκεί έξω..

ένα προσωπικό μύνημα γι'αυτές τις γιορτινές μέρες,για μια ιστορία που κάποιος από μας έχει ήδη ζήσει..

και αφού κάποιος το έχει ζήσει ήδη, δεν μπορούμε πλέον να δικαολογούμαστε ότι εμείς δεν μπορούμε; έτσι δεν είναι;

http://www.athensvoice.gr/351/5683/7/7/7/showdoc.html

και για όποιον βαριέται να διαβάσει αυτό το υπέροχο κείμενο:...

..Ήρθες στην Eλλάδα, έλεγα μέσα μου, και δεν θα δοκιμάσεις την Aθήνα; Eδώ όμως τα βρήκα μπαστούνια. Ένα χρόνο μένω στην Aθήνα και είναι πολύ δύσκολα τα πράγματα. Bρίσκω πολλές πόρτες κλειστές... Θα επιμείνω όμως και βλέπουμε. Ίσως επιστρέψω ξανά στην Kομοτηνή, ίσως στο Λονδίνο... Tι μου έμαθε το ταξίδι; Ότι όποιος θέλει να κάνει κάτι στη ζωή του μπορεί. Oι αποτυχημένοι ψάχνουν πάντα για θύτες. Mου έμαθε επίσης να σέβομαι την ιδιαιτερότητα του Άλλου. Tο ταξίδι σού μαθαίνει να θέσεις τον εαυτό σου στο πετσί του Άλλου. Tο ταξίδι μου έμαθε προπαντός να σέβομαι το παιχνίδι της τύχης. Όλα στη ζωή μου έγιναν κατά τύχη. Yπάρχουν άνθρωποι που προγραμματίζουν αυστηρά τη ζωή τους. Yπάρχουν άλλοι που την αφήνουν να τους πηγαίνει εκεί όπου θέλει. Eγώ, νομίζω, ανήκω στους τελευταίους...

σας εύχομαι το νέο έτος να είναι αυτό που θα σας βοηθήσει να πραγματώσετε όσα θέλετε στη ζωή σας...

με αγάπη

das leben der anderen

tonight i went with my friends and we watch in the movies a german movie called : The life of others...

it is a great movie of a new german director and it resembles with great success life in East Berlin during the communist time (80's)...it shows how the system of observation was working and how mistakes could happen, if there was somebody sensitive...

apart from the political representation of this difficult era and the relationship of nomeklature/politicians/art(conscriped or not), it shows an empty life of a sensitive person that found life and meaning in his work..and the work was to spy people and report..this guy obviously had a very lonely life and without meaning..he found the meaning when he entered in this weird way in the life of the couple, doing his best to help them and save them..from himself...

strongly recommended this movie, cause it has also some funny and humorous moments (especially the moment where the civil servant knows exactly all the types and sizes of all the typewriters that existed in East Gerany)..and it's about time to turn our back to Hollywood and to american film industry, since they turn to new productions and new ideas such as Rambo IV and Rocky VI..(it would be a great idea instead of sending John Rambo in Burma this time to fight the Pirates to send him again in Afghanistan to fight his ex-comrades, the Talibans, against the North Alliance which was supported by the Soviets at that time..)

anyway at least americans do this things only in their movies and not in real life, ha?

innovative wishes

from my friend Stavros I received some wise words from Arkas ..

just enjoy them and think if it a stupid joke or he is actually right!!!

I'm trying to get out from the psychological dead end, but i cannot remember how i entered

entertaining is the art of getting tired the resting hours

experience is a comb that you gain when you're bald

democracy is when 4 wolfs and 1 ship vote for dinner

all those who think that they know everything, irritate us that we know everything(dedicated to all greeks!!)

life has three phaces : revolution, cogitation and TV. you start to change the world and you conclude to change channels in the TV

and the best :
luck knocks your door only once. unluckiness is far more persistent...

have a great day!!!

complaints from ex-landlord

supposed message from our ex-landlord in UCU Campus...sorry Marilinda(and to all those who believed it)!!!

Dear ex-tenants,
pls. receive my wishes for the New Year and I wish you health and success inyour academic/professional life.
It's true that after you left things have been improving here promptly, sinceyou were the first tenants to live in these flats. Newcomers are more quiet and more easy going without great demands such as fast internet 24h/7 and the terrace key for wild parties.
Just after most of you left there are some things we haven't settled yet and weneed your help to solve them.
Pls. take some time to answer any of thequestions concerns you.
1) In one of the bathrooms we found a forgotten bike. Do u have any idea whobelongs it?
2) Who was from the floor that has downloaded 10!! DVDs of Yoga Pilates? He/Shealmost to destroy our Internet server.
3) Another student from another building reported us that he was in a party andhe got poisoned from some dogfood or catfood!? The party was in your floor. Didanyone had a pet in the apartments? And why someone offered dogfood?
4) There has been a female tenant that had completed 3-4 complaints against aColombian guy living in the block and coming to the 4th floor intentionally tomake noise. Did anyone ahd a Colombian friend that was visiting him frequentlyand if yes what is the name of this Colombian guy?
5) We heard that one of the tenants had a key that could open all the doors. Whyhe didn't report it and how he found out? Luckily nothing was stolen but it'sinapprropiate to open doors for fun.
6) There is one room that still smells - after 3 cleanings - from heavy andchily spices. Any idea how did this happened?
7) Many tenants complained about the frequent Karaoke contests you wereperforming. They complained because they couldn't join and they couldn'tdistuinguish the music because of the very loud voices.
8) Two rooms from the left side have a lot of minor damages while one of them was missing practically all the lambs. How did this happened?
9) There were 2 bottles and one glass found on the roof of the terrace. Iremember there were 2 asian people that had asked me the keys for a party. What happened?
I would like to have an answer to this questions as soon as possible pls.
Thanks in advance
Landlord UCU
