Seriously?

It's funny, though!
A few weeks ago you wanted me to make up my mind about my relationship status and if I decided to start an affair with you you were willing to move in at my place! Given the fact that your parents still have a strong influence upon you, this seemed to be your revolution!
I had told you that I didn't want to meet them just and only to get their approval and you surprised me by saying that being with me was the most important thing in your life. You said that you were in love with me, you silly woman, and asked me to have a sexual intercourse without a condom...
What, the hell, were you thinking? Why was I that drunk ...?

And now, here we are, strangers in the same city. A city with the population of my country and you have just moved with your new boyfriend at the opposite building...!

SERIOUSLY?

I left Greece because I broke up with my fiancée and couldn't stand everything that reminded me of her.
And now you fuck someone else outside my window!

Oh boy! I am going either to enjoy myself here or hate me for rejecting that offer at Patagonia...

?

I have the chance to travel all around the world while sitting in front of my laptop with a bottle of red wine next to me.
Bad news from everywhere.
People die, people get injured, people are imprisoned for trying to live freely.
Will this madness ever stop?
Will we ever live in peace?
How guilty am I for choosing to work in an office instead of volunteering to serve people in need?
Is it enough; donating money, voting the Lefts, talking about anti-capitalism and social values?
My daily biggest concern is to get laid and eat well. And drink, of course!
I consume electricity and recycle whatever I can but do I really need whatever I buy?
Especially when I KNOW that there are people who may die within the next moment; by the time I stopped typing...

We'll see

He 's fresh but he began his presidency with a surprisingly positive way!
Among others, he says that he wants Guantanamo closed by the end of the year; it would be interesting to see how is he going to deal with the precaution measures that resulted to so many arrests of suspects without any strong evidence.

What we need is solidarity and good faith. It would be catastrophic if we started suspecting everyone just because. It's a shame that we still fight against each other.

He is not the messiah; there are no messiahs, no prophets; just people who want to make the difference. Or who could but decided not to...

Hey, Santa!

Some colleagues suggested that we should attend Barack's fiesta and enjoy a city break at D.C. but I have never been fond of crowded gatherings; so I chose to stay at home and paint my bathroom's door that day.

I hope though that he will make the difference and try to improve things for people in need. Bill was also a Democrat but he ruined Yugoslavia and father Bush just before him attacked Iraq and his son has been playing with guns since day one. It's a risky business to be the President and you can easily end up washing other people's blood off your hands.

What do I pledge for? Social justice, peace, environmental respect and redistribution of money...

Santa Claus, what do you think? Have I been a good boy or will you punish me for breaking up with her and immigrating to the States?

Working abroad....

So, I did what I had said I would!
No regrets.
It's not the most well payed job of the world, I am not the caretaker of the Hamilton Island at the Great Barrier Reef; but I keep myself busy doing something relevant with what I 've studied and that's interesting.
That, I could never have accomplished at Greece. Or it would take much more time. And time is something that I don't have to spare, trying to convince Professors that I am better than their relatives and that they should choose me.

"Choose me, pick me!"...What am I? A teenage girl that prays for her beloved one to get involved?
Nope! Been there, done that...
