Yeah, smooth in the face!

When you think the trick's happening it's already been done

The matter of attraction

There is nothing sexier than short cotton socks + sneakers.

Applying frank tactics

As Šaras says: "If it's strange, then fold."

Countertemplating

They give in on things they seek every chance to show despise for - maybe it's somewhat protest of one's own disability to resist.

Gibberish

I just realized that I never talk about the things I am concerned the most - 4th, 5th and some out of top 10 usually are my red hot favorites, if I talk at all, of course. Words don't help - they just make things worse? Ok, some paraphrased cheeseable rhyme - but you just don't want to pick the wrong words and wrong talkmates. You just want to make it right on the essential issues - unfortunately it's a skill one needs to practice on - frustration is inevitable.

Being

There are too many "great", "nice", "pleasant" people. That's why we stick with the nasty ones.

Ķemeru purvs

Last weekend I with my family went to a place where time had stopped a while ago and a clumsy step may result in an instant sink in some bottomless moss stuff - yeah it's a swamp. Nowadays a recently made wooden path is a strong argument to comfort your curiosity. Earlier the only visitors were the ones seeking for the cranberries, but they really had to know the path there, since it's considered to be one of the most dangerous swamp in Latvia to wander in.

Some swampy mirrors:

This one with a lonely tree on an island.


Some cranberries. They were all around there - still raw though...

... but that didn't stop me from eating them all the way :)

Another mirror

A neat panorama from a small tower there.


The rest 7 pics

P.S. This post has nothing to do with this.

Absurdia

Some things you just have to say to realize that you shouldn't have...
Practice makes awesome? Ok, it might as well be the case.

Zvērā 2008

Recently I was at a somewhat alternative music fest Zvērā. Not so much stuff from stages and crowd since they weren't the matter of interest of a person who took those :).

Everhungry me...

Everhungry me...

Everhungry me...

Ever4handed me...

Ever-fountain-like me

They say that the same scene at the same turn there was a year ago and I have no reason not to believe in them, since everyone around was deadly drunk (except me :) - in sober conditions you wouldn't slide into a ditch at a speed of max 20 km/h :).

Loneliness is conducted by fear

Been missing for a while

Missing out on presence, missing out on life?

Parlez-vous le francais?

Hilarious, french had deserved to eat smthn like this already a long time ago :). And these profound conversations...

Gambling, stumbling

It's totally conceited to treat other people as options.

789

Being in company with someone with a corny sense of humor is even more irritating than hearing the same news broadcast for the n-th time (at least you can turn it off).

The best failure

I may fail, but if I know that I have really put my best effort to succeed then the failure doesn't bug me at all - I even feel somewhat content and pleased that I've succeeded to take my best shot, but simply there are just some things that you can't affect or you're just not good enough for them.

Maybe not a rat race

They think that we're all running for boosted-looks, but hey, take another look where are these queues at!

On answering

It's easy to answer. It's a bit more difficult to give a fair or a thought-through answer. Sometimes it's hard to answer because actually the inquirer doesn't expect your answer, but the one of his. But the answerer gets it the most wrong when he pays little attention on the question, but deviates the flow of his answer to his own-sweet topics where he feels so comfortable than anywhere else - it seems for him so pleasant that he falls in love with this routine and from then on takes every chance to get to that cozy position.

books in boxes

I guess it would be a bit arrogant to categorize all the people in miserables, desperates and those who are livin' it up. So I won't.

On expectations

So, what did you expect? Exactly - those who expect only get what's left.

The war won

I cheated on my will and my conscience stroke back.

Waste of time

Why to commence something, if it doesn't trill you, even not from the very beginning?

Lately

Surprisingly, but sometimes you don't have to be better than you are to get what you want. In contrary - the worse the better. Maybe the worse is the better one so actually you are better while being worse.

No big truth

Roughly speaking, all meaningful relationships are based on attraction or addiction.

The more I get the more I want

Nice try in merging house and RnB. Kinda mainstream, but still incredibly catchy.

El el

What's the sense of fruitless conversation if you don't benefit from it also in any other means? I'm too old to afford myself being self-tortuously polite.

Rytas

I woke up last morning, saw a guy staring at me. His hair was messy, his look was blur, seemingly he hadn't shaved for days and was heading towards another purposelessful day of his life. He proceeded to the toilet, I remained at the same place I was - in the mirror of his life.

The matter of reception 2

Stop throwing these you-knows at me, for God's sake! Because I don't!

The matter of reception

How do you face a fist?

Got monkey off your back?

Session is dead and done, and the immediate consequence should be a huge relief and some sort of feeling of a sealed deal. But what if it's not so? What if the stress and tension is what fuels us doesn't let us so comfortably go with the flow, but makes us come over ourselves - at least try so. The other issue is - for how long one (Calvanese's legacy :) can remain purposefully focused on this run of session obsession in a long run or on a single stretch of a day. How to escape deviation tries conducted by natural lazyness and unwillingness to push oneself? I must confess - I didn't come up with a solution - I hit my self off the track using the most foolish excuses, even more - when i didn't have one I lookedup for it. And the result regretufully is the one that I foresaw already a while ago. My everunderdetermined-me let me down again, and this time the hard way. After every single such occasion you think you learned a lesson and there is still space and time to make-it-better-next-time and that you'll be capable to come over yourself that time - the next time, ok - maybe. But what will happen when I'll start to preassume that it'll be all the same all over again, without any tries? Yeah that's no more "Houston, we have a problem" occasion, that's already the IT - GAME OVER!

On friends

Today I discovered that actually I can miss spending time with someone, like a friend. I hope to see him there in Riga soon. Actually I have them 2 or 3, depending on the definition of a friend, others around are more or less in-outs - regretfully. Mainly it depends on ability and willingness to be a friend and these are things I apparently lack.

My liveness property

Eat this, Avril! And yeah she is terribly cute.

I know that if you would you could

When you fall, you don't care, because you're on the fall. And who're you with your problems right now? No sorry, no please, I'm on the fall, you know!?

Conveying feelings

Actually I never know how I feel, I only know how my ego percepts it.

Thrust your senses

Once you start thinking how to react, you already got it wrong.

It's as amusing as it gets to hear a rhythmic woman's cry out all over the back-yard at 4 AM :)

very tmp

Sweet-and-sour moving on and bitter stay? Maybe the second one is the life and the first one - runaway? Tourist at home and tourist when away.

:(

Ok, one option less

Prospecitve-exes

Ļena is collecting pics of her prospective former course mates of this year, so this was one of the musts. Yeah and of course we are pretending there a bit :).

On habits

Old rabbits die hard

up till infinity

The most mindless thing is to think about thinking... cos it's recursive

again and again and all over again

plain is the most beautiful

Today

Massive drops, but never knew that rain can be so warm.

about now

I feed my body with the things that I don't need, until I sink to the bottom.

a.f.o.

I wonder how it would be if a limousine-wide, hypocritical smile would a part of my mentality.

ignition

Once you've ignited the sparkle of disrespect there hardly ever is a way back to any kind of true relationships.

Curious Seal in Riga

This sight took me by surprise a bit while browsing news galleries - curious Seal incognito taking pictures of demonstrators against firing the chief of KNAB, that had gathered at the parliament.







Yeah, and of course, later that evening he had some quality concert.

Gotta moves :)?

I wonder what is more amusing here (pic by Ļena) - my incredible shot or the expressions of others :).

Ballerina poses get you nowhere

There are so many things passing by in your life, but all of them start similar, develop similar and end totally similar. And then you come about the fact that it's not the world that lacks variety, but your perception. Lack of ability to handle things differently - better, lack of determination to make-it-right. It's much easier to give up to some own-sweet-ways and beliefs that all that seems too good would never come true anyway, cos it never does, instead of making a push and boosting a self-belief.

Not so obvious

Sometimes I am desperately looking for a pen all around while holding it in my hand.

Yesterday's airstrike

Ok I couldn't resist to blog about it a bit. They say such a destructive hail, ok falling pieces of ice, happen here once in 2-3 years. Yeah and forget about apples this year...
Actually I regret a bit not going outside and not having some icy shower :).

Here's a vid cought by my neighbor Vaidas:

Aftermath (by Auste)

Candies


And at last I've received an action vid from Veronika. Impressive, huh :)?

Confusion in Tallinn

I wonder what was the cause of this - locomotive drove too fast or railway station ran too slow :).


Maybe EU provided some rails that were too fast?

Failure?

Just call it Beta!

The Kooks mood

An irresistible acoustic performance on streets of Paris.

books in boxes

Lately more and more I tend to classify people, make diagnoses, judgments and see-you-through-type kinda arrogant assumptions. The activity is fun and in some means useful, but the same time a bit despicable and at no point detached.
And I wonder how open-book am I.

Unintentional intention

Throwing your shirt one floor down the balcony is a perfect way to meet some new neighbors :).

Action is a weapon of mass destruction

Do I really have to always use the ultimate weapon to check the truth? It gets already annoying.

On estonians... again :)

В Эстонии с небывалым размахом прошла презентация ОС Windows'95.

Shrinker

Today I came about the fact that I'm the one who often shrinks the truth instead of stretching it. Kind of an anti-exaggeration.

Cola + mentos?

Surprisingly, but Latvians also are able to join to do something crazy... like beating a Guiness world record in making coke-plus-mentos-eruption :) - 1900 people took part.

Massive setup...


The action...



And the vid:

Circle

And I will go in a pages of world history as a guy who couldn't pull himself together for anything good, but rejected all mediocre.

Tā daļa Rīgas

Today I was too lazy and tired after my exam and even too tired to sleep, so as always, I started some unconscious surfing and ended up in feeling being touched and impressed what I found about my home city Riga, so I couldn't resist to share a bit :). So my journey started from Wikipedia (I can spend there some hours) and continued with clicking some links below...
The first stop was a gallery of Riga before WW1 - amazing - the same shapes, buildings, but without cars, very few people (funny dressed though), so neat and clean and no such thing as asphalt.



I love that tram


The Albert street - the ultimate art-niveau, looks a bit cleaner and neater. Yeah and we got electricity there :).


Such a spaciousness near the opera.


Funny sight - no monument of Freedom, but tram and monument for Tsar Peter I.


My next stop was at some trendy tool that leads you through the sights and panoramas around the Old town - nice job guys, never thought that someone in Latvia could pull themselves to waste some money on such a neat stuff.

And the last remarkable discovery was a guy (or a group) who is publishing a pic of Riga each day in a blog dedicated just for this purpose. The same city, same sights, different view and eye of a camera.

The matter of say

Do I say something because of it or because of say?

works always

Lack of spice in your life?
Everything goes smooth and nice, but at the same time a little boring?
Hanging out, being social, but feelin' short of action?
Didn't have hard feelings for a while?
Introduce some hate!

Some fine manual

A: I don't understand you...
B: RTFM!

ghrrr!!!

Oh...

Sometimes (zB yesterday) the first thing that comes into ones mind is a shit; in a significant part of occasions it's the one of a bird.

Some more oil

And I am pouring some more oil in the fire and screaming to myself: "don't regret, don't regret, never regret", yeah and it starts to help... at times. Kinda learning from Robbie :).

Go girls!

At last there will be a Latvian national basketball team in Olympics for the first time since 1936.

Self constraints

And I wonder how many of my limits are set by my lack of will, self-determination, decisiveness and how many of them I wouldn't be able to reach under no circumstances.

work

I know that if I worked it harder, made it better, did it faster I could get much more than I have now. And I don't want to pretend that I never told it to myself.

Herrund

Imao everything related to random - randomly, randomize, randomization, randomness etc. is totally and inappropriately overused degrading the expressiveness of it when it's really needed to describe something really random.

A stretch

Think ya smarter than the ghosts of pacman? Think again!

No problems?

Bothered by unbearable lightness of our own existence we make up unbelievably sophisticated problems for ourselves out of nothing.

Complement

Asking for a compliment is like sending yourself a postcard at Christmas.
But on the other hand it may shy-off and encourage someone who was about to say it.

Derivation

If you hate to be alone -> you find yourself boring.

On italian

Even if Kobe is fluent then it shouldn't be so difficult :).
