CUT & SLASH

To cut and to slash are two different things. Cutting, whatever form of cutting it is, is decisive, with a resolute spirit. Slashing is nothing more than touching the enemy.

Even if you slash strongly, and even if the enemy dies instantly, it is still.. slashing. When you cut, your spirit is resolved. You must appreciate this.

If you first slash the enemy's hands or legs, you must then cut strongly. Slashing is in spirit the same as touching.

When you realize this, they become indistinguishable.

Learn this well!

I just wanted to share with you a fragment of "A BOOK OF FIVE RINGS" (go rin no sho) by Miyamoto Musashi

The new..

"In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read.
But the bitter truth we critics must face is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so.

But there are times when a critic truly risks something and that is in the discovery and defense of the new.
The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations. The new needs friends."

Trebuie sa zic mai mult? E vorba de faptul ca unii chiar incearca sa faca ceva.. dar tu ce faci? Ok, te iei de ceilalti.. dar.. tu, ce faci? Da, cred ca cei de la Durex stiu ca prezervativele au o rata de protectie de doar 99%.. Si da, stiu si ei ca acel 1% inseamna deajuns de mult. Dar era mai bine daca nu se inventau prezervativele? [Hmm.. hai sa le facem.. Dar.. nuuuu! Au o rata de protectie doar 99%.. Aaahh.. da? Nu e bine.. trebuie sa incercam altceva..] Dar trebuie sa privesti partea plina a paharului.. :) Defapt.. nu trebuie, dar ai putea sa incerci!

Bineintele ca fiecare are un milion de probleme pe cap. Si necazurile tot vin.. life's a bitch :)
Dar daca te concentrezi doar la ce-i urat in viatza asta.. pierzi tot ce-i mai frumos din ea.. Da, orice moment e la fel de bun ca oricare altul.. Si asta se aplica la orice.. indiferent ca e vorba de diaree sau durere.. sau ce mai zici tu acolo. Astea se intampla fie ca vrei sau nu vrei. Lucrurile bune, de multe ori.. trebuie sa le aduci singur in viatza ta. Lucrurile bune pot incepe la fel de bine.. oriunde. Doar ca pe astea.. le vrei in viata ta.

Tu Jack, stii toate astea.. but "We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read.." right? Te grabesti sa judeci niste oameni despre care nu stii nimic. Te-ai uitat putin stanga.. dreapta.. sa vedem ce-au zis si altii.. Dar tu ti-ai pastrat ideea pe care ai pornit.. Cand e ultima oara cand ai incercat tu sa faci un filmuletz? Sau.. nu stiu.. sa faci ceva.. pentru ceilalti.. Cat despre injuraturi.. :) nici vorba, i'd like to think i'm above that..

Dar tu Dani.. de ce te bagi? Nu stii ce zici.. but negative criticism rules.. huh? Doar.. daca zice Jack.. then it must be true.. Recent ai inceput sa scrii si tu ceva de la tine pe blogul care n-are nici cateva luni.. :) Nici macar nu ti-ai facut temele in privinta mea si nici in legatura cu campania asta.. You've got some problems with your love life.. it happens to the best of us.. dar nu trebuie sa te resemnezi, esti abia la inceput.. :) Sadly.. that's true.. right? :( Btw, you don't need duck tape to keep someone close to you.. :)

Esti exact ce vrei.. exact ce cumperi.. Si-ar trebui sa-ti revii [..] in loc sa te superi.

Many things..

Many things happened since my last post.. but i'll only tell a few.. :)

LOVE CAN BEGIN HERE - The Movie

We had fun making it.. you have fun watching it..

To care.. or not to care.

Is that the right question?
Discutie cu o fata care.. ca si oricine altcineva are dreptul la o parere.. a ei.

Mr.BiG: ..btw.. ai aruncat un ochi si pe blogu` meu?
Friend: ai un comentariu
Mr.BiG: ma uit acum
Mr.BiG: :-?
Mr.BiG: cauza pierduta?
Mr.BiG: :-/ what makes you say that?
Friend: dunno....asta cred
Friend: eu am incetat sa incerc sa schimb lumea
Mr.BiG: :)
Mr.BiG: why?
Friend: pt ce pana la urma?

Friend: ;)
Mr.BiG: :-?
Mr.BiG: pentru tine
Mr.BiG: ?
Friend: da
Mr.BiG: :) hai sa-ti spun eu versiunea mea..
Friend: pai am citit versiunea ta pe blog....mi`ai cerut parerea - asta e...
Mr.BiG: ideea e ca.. tie-ti place ce vezi in jurul tau?
Friend: nu ma mai intereseaza
Mr.BiG: ..de la tigani.. la oameni prosti.. morocanosi.. tristi.. etc?
Friend: am vazut destule..asta e ideea
Mr.BiG: asa
Mr.BiG: si.. mai bine le tratezi cu indiferenta sau incerci sa schimbi ceva?
Friend: da. e mai usor
Mr.BiG: adica.. decat sa ma 'mut pe o insula' mai bine fac ceva in privinta asta
Mr.BiG: :)) normal ca e mai usor..
Friend: pt ca de schimbat oricum nu ai sa reusesti
Mr.BiG: dar.. it's not the way it's suposed to be
Mr.BiG: ba o sa reusesc
Mr.BiG: :)
Mr.BiG: poate nu doar cu stickerele mele..
Mr.BiG: dar.. am multe in minte..
Friend: i don`t give a fuck ca nu e the way it should
Friend: ca pana la urma nimeni nu stie exact cum ar trebui
Mr.BiG: what do you give a fuck for?
Friend: me
Friend: myself
Friend: and i
Mr.BiG: :D
Mr.BiG: mmkay.. asta inseamna ca nu-ti pasa de nimic din jurul tau?
Mr.BiG: dar.. vrei ca celorlalti sa le pese de tine?
Friend: n`o lua asa
Mr.BiG: ba exact asa e
Mr.BiG: iei totul ca atare
Friend: nu
Mr.BiG: customize.. create!
Mr.BiG: de ce sa iei totul asa cum ti se da?
Mr.BiG: si sa-l dai mai departe la fel?
Mr.BiG: :-??
Friend: customize in coltisorul meu
Friend: astfel incat sa`mi fie bine
Friend: si asa cum vreau
Friend: the others don`t give a fuck
Friend: why should i?
Mr.BiG: si cum ar fi daca toata lumea ar fi asa cum e coltisorul tau.. adica.. bine?
Friend: ntz
Mr.BiG: tre' sa incepi de undeva.. nu?
Mr.BiG: daca pleci pe premisa asta nu ajungi nicaieri..
Mr.BiG: te iei la intrecere cu ceilalti? sa vedem cui ii pasa mai putin?
Mr.BiG: :-??
Friend: da` nu vreau sa ajung undeva pt ca nu am inceput nimic...that`s the point actually
Friend: nu ma intrec cu nimeni ...imi vad de VIATA MEA
Mr.BiG: :) cand nu stii unde vrei sa ajungi.. orice plan.. e un planbun
Mr.BiG: pai prin simplu fapt ca nu faci nimic.. desi ai putea.. faci ceva
Mr.BiG: si iti dau un exemplu perfect:
Mr.BiG: just a sec.. sa dau search pe youtube
Mr.BiG: :D
Mr.BiG: uita-te.. pls..
Mr.BiG: are un minut filmuletzul..
Mr.BiG: si la sfarsit e o intrebare..
Mr.BiG: da-mi si mie un raspuns sincer la ea
Mr.BiG: :)

Cold shower..

plictisitule has left a new comment on your post "Love can begin here..":

"Gigele, inceteaza cu poluarea... Ia gandeste-te: daca fiecare se apuca sa lipeasca "stickere" pe unde il trazneste pe el in vis noaptea (pentru ca nu pot sa ma gandesc ca ai vreo alta explicatie pentru MISCAREA asta a ta) cum ar arata lumea. Urmatorul pas este sa te joci paintball prin oras, nu? Ca doar e dreptul tau... Si in plus, hartia aia vine din copaci .. dar ce conteaza natura, atata timp cand ne iubim, nu? Hai sictir!"

Ha! Deci mai sunt si dintr-astia printre noi.. huh? Ca in ultima vreme intalnesc tot mai putini. Poate nu-i mai observ.. pentru ca sunt prea multi 'de partea mea' dar.. tre' sa mai ai parte si de cate un 'dus rece' dintr-asta.. ca sa vezi ca.. deh, nu-i poti multumi pe toti. Chestia e ca nu incerc.. partea si mai buna e ca nu ma (mai) afecteaza..

Parerea mea? E ca asta e opinia lui.. si e indreptatit sa creada ce vrea. Probabil lucreaza la RATB si atunci.. deh, nu-l condamn.. pt ca muuulte trolee sunt pline de stickerele mele. But hey.. you wanna' make an omelet.. you gotta' break some eggs! And that's the price to pay..

Totusi nu reusesc sa inteleg ce-l deranjeaza mai mult. Faptul ca pun stickere peste tot pe unde merg.. sau ca stickerele mele nu-s ecologice? :) Da, e dreptul tau sa faci ce vrei.. e dreptul tau sa mergi intr-o masina cu 100 km/h si sa nu tii mainile pe volan.. but that don't make it a good fucking ideea! :)

Remember this 'Gigele': We are what we do in this world.. i chose to do something.
How about you?

Random thoughts..

Atunci cand un loc ti-e familiar.. nu mai esti atent la detalii.. vezi doar ce 'nu e la locul lui' sau ce te intereseaza.. pe moment (oamenii care trec, detalii.. etc) Atunci cand n-ai mai fost pe-acolo niciodata nu ai localizate 'in spatiu' toate lucrurile din jurul tau.. si esti mult mai atent la ce te inconjoara..

Spre exemplu: drumul din scara blocului pana in statia lu` 313 il merg aproape.. mecanic, pe acelasi traseu constant.. (pentru ca e foarte scurt..) si intr-o dimineatza cum mergeam eu si imi puneam o casca in ureche.. cu cealalta mana porneam ipodul si ma uitam sa nu dea vreo masina peste mine.. am uitat sa ma aplec putin ca sa nu ma lovesc iar de aceeasi crengutza peste care am dat si cu o zi inainte.. si acum 2 zile.. samd. Si bineinteles, azi n-a fost o exceptie.. si m-am intors.. din reflex.. si am vazut o schimbare: era verdee! Eh si in clipa aia am mai deschis putin ochii ca sa vad ca si resul pomilor prindeau tot mai mult culoare.. mi-am tinut ochii 'deschisi' pana am ajuns la servici.. si de fiecare data cand ieseam la tigara.. :)

In dreapta, sus.. e un 'sondaj'.. care a pornit atunci cand cineva m-a intrebat de stickerele mele.. Am inceput sa ii povestesc.. M-a ascultat.. mici intrebari pe parcursul discutiei.. si la sfarsit m-a intrebat ceva ..la care n-am stiut sa raspund: "Has everything you've done so far changed anything?" N-am stiut sa-i raspund.. Anyway.. mi-a dat de gandit.. si pe modelul "Intrebarilor de luni" o sa pun si eu.. din cand in cand.. cate o intrebare 'publica'...

Zilele trecute am gasit si asta pe YouTube.. [link] si mi-a placut.. in scurt timp o sa pun si eu filmuletzul cu pozele pe care le-am strans pana acum.. it's still work in progress.. deci o sa mai dureze ceva.. ca si site-ul dealtfel. :-( stiu ca nu asta vreti sa auziti.. dar.. sunt critic cu munca mea.. iar daca mie nu-mi place.. nu dau mai departe! :D deeci.. raabdaare!

The world needs a change.. They know it! ..and they're going to embrace it.. all they need is a push in the right direction!

Ai 7 minute libere?

One piece of advice: DON'T SEEK! let it flow.. si inainte sa te uiti.. asigura-te ca ai 7 minute in care sa nu faci altceva.. It's gonna' be worth your time!

Genial.. it's that simple.. :) Cristina, tin sa iti multumesc pentru ca mi-ai aratat filmuletul asta.. am ras cu lacrimi de fiecare data.. si l-am vazut de vreo 5-6 ori la rand :D

Cea mai usoara modalitate sa-i faci pe ceilalti sa zimbeasca.. si chiar sa rada cu pofta!

Leapsa

Nu s-a gandit nimeni si la mine pentru o 'leapsa' asa ca am luat-o de la Luissa, pentru ca imi place ideea. So.. here it goes:

Sunt in centrul atentiei.. de multe ori fara voia mea si.. de si mai multe ori nu stiu ce sa fac cu mainile.. sau am emotii.. sau imi pierd ideea. Alteori sunt tipul retras, care asculta linistit.. si nu intervine in discutie decat daca are ceva de zis (si-atunci sunt doua-trei vorbe).

As vrea ca ziua sa aibe 32 de ore.. sa am timp sa fac mai multe.

Pastrez cartele de la telecabina din sinaia.. hartiutze.. cutii interesante de chibrituri.. bilete de film.. arhive de mess de cativa ani si alte prostioare de genu`..

Mi-as dori sa reusesc 'sa schimb lumea' :)

Nu imi place ploaia cand imi strica planurile. Nu-mi place ceaiul cu lamaie si nu beau gin.

Ma tem de cainii vagabonzi..

Nu pot sa inteleg rautatea unora..

Aud si vad multe.. dar le selectez si dau mai departe doar ce merita.

Imi pare rau pentru muulte lucruri facute. O sa incerc sa nu mai fac!

Putini oameni inteleg felul meu de-a fi.. muzica pe care o ascult.. lucrurile care le fac.. etc.

Imi plac oamenii care zimbesc in metrou..

Nu sunt decat la inceput! I'm gettin' there.. sooner or later!

Cant.. hmm.. cant? eu? cand? :D Eh.. uneori la vreun karaoke.. si sub dush.. da' mi s-a udat mp3-u` :))

Joc teatru uneori, pentru ca o mica minciuna nevinovata.. face cat 1000 de adevaruri.

Niciodata nu mi-au placut manelele! :))))

Vad lucruri pe care altii le trec cu vederea..

Rar imi place cum imi sta parul. Si la fel de rar am o parere buna despre mine :)

Plang.. :) nu plang. Nici macar atunci cand ar trebui. Nu pot.

Nu imi place sa ma trezesc singur. Nu-mi place sa fumez singur. Nu-mi place sa-mi beau cafeaua singur. Ia-mi orice.. (calculator.. net.. telefon mobil.. orice!) dar nu-mi lua oamenii din jurul meu.

Am nevoie de o motivatie pentru orice fac.

Ar trebui sa invatz sa nu mai pierd timpul si sa nu ma mai pierd in detalii.. aa.. si sa ma las de fumat!

Hmm... n-am mai fost de mult asa.. deschis :) Hope you enjoy it.

Eh.. si dau si eu mai departe: Otilia, Ea, Rox si Vic. Enjoy!

Thank you!

Thank you.. for helping me with all this.. It's not something I can do on my own.. but with your help we can make a diference! Someone asked me: "is it a 'one man campain' ?" and it made me wonder.. is it? But it's not.. I only play a small part in all this.. it's you people who actually made it work.. so, THANK YOU! All of you!

Here's a few bits and pieces of what you've said, pictures and comments this one is my personal favorite:

sophie.baudelaire has left a new comment on your post "Love can begin here": <<love can begin here... and it really happened... intr-un sfarsit de sweet november. e aproape o forma de manipulare a opiniei publice, dar intr-un mod atat de extatic incat zambetu-mi se incapataneaza sa persiste.>>

"Statia de metrou, asteptare, totul pare amortit cand de pe scaun, vad un abtibild care ma “misca” un putin…cateodata poate e chiar asa, “love can begin here”…pe un scaun, pe o scara in urcare, in coborare, la metrou, intr-un parc, la etajul 10 sau oriunde…"

"Apropos, ieri, in troleul 85 nu am vazut unul, ci 4 stickere "LOVE CAN BEGIN HERE" !!! :)) So, they do exist... " "Salut....pe la noi pe la Cj nu am vazut abtibildul cu "Love can begin here".As vrea si eu macar unul sa-l pun la intrarea in camin.Spor la treburi"

"Ma amuza faptul ca toate porcarioarele alea cu "Love can begin here" sunt putin jupuite.
Vrem cu totii sa fim iubiti, eh? De parca jupuirea "Love can begin here"-urilor va ajuta cu ceva. /:) :) Somn usor."

"ah deci tu esti in charge of "love cand begin here" ? pfu....mi se pare o idee super, te admir pentru gest si pentru initiativa. congrats! Charlie."

"astă seară în drum spre gară. într-un 85. love can begein here. am zâbit şi mi-am zis cât de tareeee... m-a chinuit să fac o poznă fromoasă să arăt la lume... dar acumulatorii mei erau morşi deja. is şi bătrâni, dar oricum toata ziua a fo numai bună de făcut pozne.tare. tare. love cand begin here."

"e ceva in genul celor de la black eyed peas cu "where is the love?" si cu stickerele cu semnul de intrebare.. m-a trecut un fior cand l-am vazut in metrou la unirii..si i-am dat search-ul corespunzator de google..si iata-te..imi place mult ideea. da-i inainte!"

Nu am postat tot ce era, pentru ca sunt preaa multe :D dar.. asa.. cat-de-cat sa va faceti o idee, pentru cei care nu stiu, pentru cei care vor sa stie si pentru cei care imi rup stickerele :P

"Our lifes are defined by our opportunities, even by the ones we miss.."

What is it all about? (Love can begin here)

So I want to change the world.. When you first have this idea in your head.. and you're just thinking about it.. to see if it can be done or not.. to see where you could start.. or at least try to see where you can start doing your homework.. you play a few moves and try to anticipate the first few steps, the plan you're following.. things that could go wrong or things you can't know the result of.. yet.

The first thing everyone says is either: "It can't be done!" or "Oh yeah, I'd like to see that!" and both of these things motivate me, plus that.. I've got nothing to lose.. :) but if I can accomplish something like that.. we've got a lot to gain. And I could.. maybe.. make a difference.. a change.. in something better! It's something that others won't bother to do.. or even try.. Me? I'm a beliver :D

So what could change this ..crazy world? What message could you send out there that won't go unnoticed? What can you say to the world that will make a difference? We do live in a crazy world, created by and for us, and it has it's good and bad parts. Some bad part would be that we became shallow. Nothing it's good enough anymore.. nothing 'moves' you anymore..

I miss the good old days when I was just a kid and I'd ask some girl to be my girlfriend by writing her a small note and leave it in her math book.. or when i was about 5 years old and i went shopping with my mum and bought a bracelet for a girl.. and i barely had the guts to go and give it to her. Maybe I was just a kid or maybe time did not used to be in such a hurry.. Everything important it's happening "right now".. and 5 seconds later it's already yesterday's business.. What does it matter anymore for all of us? Money? Power? Maybe freedom. Or maybe.. LOVE?

No one belives in LOVE anymore.. :( It's an abstract subject.. And for those of you who still think LOVE is a mith.. Let me ask you this: why do you do it? Why do you wake up in the morning? Why do you shave? Why go to work? For what? Why do you earn money? To live.. ok.. you're living ..what now? Why keep going? What is the purpose? After you've got all the money you want.. and you buy all the stuff you want.. you go to bed at night.. alone :) No matter how many chicks you sleep with, none of them will be there in the morning, or when the money's gone. Having sex is good, but making love.. it's beautifull!

You're right, you'll like all this 'lots of money thing'.. the cars.. houses.. gadgets.. and whatever you plan to buy next.. but.. I ask you again.. now what? More sex with moron super-models? You'll get tired of all this.. I'm just saying.. have your fun.. all the way! But at some point you'll remember that you've read this :) (..or maybe you're a moron super-model also :)) and you know what they say: two crackheads can live happily ever after!)

If you've got all the money in the world and you want to see the world.. and you get to the Eiffel Tower or the Priamids.. you'd like a picture.. right? What? You don't want to be alone in that picture? You want someone to enjoy the moment with.. huh? You want to conquer the world all by yourself? It's impossible! And even if you do, why did you do it? Who's gonna be there.. in the picture with you? :) And.. btw, don't you wanna' grow old? Guess what? It's inevitable.. what you can change is either you grow old alone.. or not.

I've said before that we're 6 biliards people in this world.. but we can not expect to be 6 biliards of happy people.. I can't change that.. well.. not all of that, I'm only human :) but I can try an tell you this: "Life goes on pretty fast, if you don't stop every once in a while.. you could miss it!" I can tell you.. LOVE CAN BEGIN HERE.. there.. anywhere.. you just have to go out and do something about it! All you have to do is just stop and enjoy the view..

Anyway.. I don't want it to be just a sticker on a bicycle that let the others know that you're available.. I want it to reach to you.. I want it to open your eyes.. FALL IN LOVE! It's the greatest thing you'll ever learn!

And if you still think I'm wrong.. YOU tell me what could make you stop for just a second.. and make you think about it?
