I know I am a little late for giving you my best wishes for Christmas, but hey, better later than never right? So, here is Christmas, the happiest few days of the year. Families united under the Christmas tree, giving and getting presents, smiling, talking, hugging, kissing. Love is all around. Kids awaiting Santa, parents forgetting about the usual problems, friends forgetting about yesterday’s fights. Wonderful isn’t it?
I hate Christmas! Why? Because the Christmas feeling described by me is pure theory. Christmas is nothing more than a reason for the people to spend their money on gifts, for the companies to spend money on campaigns, for the youth to get drunk. The whole “getting together under the tree” thing takes just a few seconds until the “giving and getting” session is over, than everybody goes in his room or gets out with some friends to have a few drinks because “it’s Christmas”.
I hate Christmas! Why? Because my company sells computers. So? Don’t know how it works in other countries, but here, in Romania, people spend about 10 times more money on tech than in other periods of the year. A new computer for the kiddo, a new laptop for me, a new printer for the office and a new LCD for my wife. Wonderful. This means more work for me leading to headaches and bad attitude when I get home.
Never mind my bad thoughts about Christmas, hope you all have a real nice one as close as described in the first few rows as possible.
All my love, Greyheart
I hate today. I felt like shit all day. My tong hurts badly, don’t exactly know why so I could hardly speak today on the phone (speaking all day long on the phone with customers being part of my job). Than, I had to help out my colleagues to unload the truck full of merchandise and of course I catched a terrible cold, now sitting in front of my laptop with at least 38 degrees fever. And this is not the worst part.
Yesterday my best friend came home from Bucharest. I haven’t seen him in months and we were planning to go out tonight. We said we would go to a Karaoke bar to have some beer and sing something but in this conditions I cannot go out, cannot drink and definitely can’t sing. Too bad. Not to mention I can’t even kiss my girlfriend as that hurts too!
But maybe tomorrow I’ll feel better and I’ll go out have some beers and dance. No singing tomorrow as there is no karaoke party anyway on Saturdays here. But maybe we will have a few beers more than we can take and we’ll sing anyway, karaoke or not!
Have a pleasant weekend everyone!
With love, Greyheart
I was just thinking about how jealous I was of the people that were spending their vacations outside the country borders. In the summer people were going to Egypt, Greece and Hawaii and in the winter they were going to ski in the Alps. Than, this summer I went to Bucharest, the great capital, to visit a friend of mine and the part of family I’ve not seen in ages. Spending my time there as a tourist I realized that I was so stupid for wanting to go visit other countries when I didn’t even see my own. Bucharest is a city of constant motion, day and night people running from place to place. I don’t think I could live there because of the stress that you can even smell in the air, but as a tourist, having time to check everything out I must say I was impressed. I’ve been to Bucharest before. Once as a child, and I don’t remember much of it, than almost a year now, but I was attending some software presentation of a partner company and did not have time to visit anything.
Than these thoughts came bothering my mind again while I was visiting Predeal, a fascinating place in the mountains. It is usually full of visitors in the winter, hope next year I’ll have the occasion to spend a few years in the snow there. Even though I was visiting it in full summer season, the place sticked itself into my head as a wonderful memory.
I should get myself a driver’s license and a car and next summer I should go visit the whole country. Who wants to join me? Than, first stop Egypt, the pyramids. That is one thing I want to see before I die.
Kiss you, Greyheart
Hello everybody,
I am thinking for about half an hour what to start with, than I decided I should just start writing. So I did. First, a few words about me so you’ll know who’s writing this article. My name is Stefan, friends all over the web call me Greyheart or just Grey. I was born in 1983 in Romania and I am still living in Romania. Probably I will die in this country too. At the moment I am working as an area sales manager, earning a pretty decent amount of money to sustain my personal needs and hobbies. What hobbies? Well, I love to take pictures, even though I am not too good at photography. I love to mess around with websites, that’s how I got about 30 domains, almost all with some basic layout on it, than I got bored and left them behind. At the beginning of 2007 I discovered I like to write articles so I made myself a personal blog. Seeing that people liked what I write in Romanian, I thought I should try it in English too.
Now, let’s talk about the future of this blog. Well, honestly I don’t intend to be a popular guy all over the world just for having a blog. This site will do nothing more than tell you about my experiences in life. Don’t expect from me too much, maybe some sick humor and some helpful info from time to time.
Enough as a first post, hope you will enjoy the rest of what comes!
My unending respect, Greyheart
