<span style="vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Last night I was playing with Sasha (the usual: I run around the house dragging something long and flexible on the floor and she chases it; in this case it was a belt made of fabric from one of my mom's old dresses) and Sasha got “into the zone” meaning that she freaked out and jumped two feet high off the floor with her four paws stretched out. It was hilarious. It was so funny that an hour later, as I was already in bed with a book, I remembered the whole scene and started laughing aloud. I laughed and laughed until tears came to my eyes and I pictured myself at that moment: alone, tucked in bed and laughing like mad and that made me laugh even harder. Sasha was so intrigued by my behavior that she jumped on the bed and hit me on the nose with her paw as if saying “Are you alright, human?” At that point I almost choked with laughter.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /><span style="vertical-align: baseline;">Sasha is my cat. I brought her home on July 13th. She's 5 months old now. And although since then I haven't had a proper rest it is also true that for the past three months I laughed more than for the past three years.</span></span><br />

<span style="vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In the book I’m currently reading there's a conversation between the protagonist, a man with a sceptical attitude to religion, and his friend - a Catholic priest; and they discuss what hell is. I am an atheist through and through but to my surprise I totally agree with the priest's vision of hell:</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“ - Hell is to be without love. To be without hope. Hell is to be alone in a place where time never ends, the clock never stops ticking but the hands never move…</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> - I like to be alone. There's nothing I prefer more. To be alone in the mountains with my paints…</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> - That is not alone! You are merely without human company. But the butterflies you paint are with you, the trees and insects, birds. God. Whether you acknowledge Him or not. To be alone is to be in a void. Without even memory. Memories are a great weapon against solitude. Even the memory of love can be salvation…</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The memory of love can save us all from hell.”</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I can't help remembering Natural Born Killers and Mickey's words: “Only love can beat the demon.” </span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It got me thinking that I don't necessarily need love but I need the idea of love, that it is essential to me to know that there's such a thing as love. Somehow that's enough. </span></div>

<span style="vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">3-07-2017, Plovdiv Roman Theater, Placebo, “20 years of Placebo"</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I have to write something about the concert but words don't come. Why? Why do words fail me about one of the most amazing nights of my life? And amazing it was, all the way, and unforgettable, and I didn't want it to end, ever. What is it about that band that makes me feel that way? I don't know. It's a mystery.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I remember the first time I heard Placebo. It was “Pure morning”, and it was like nothing I've heard and seen before. Until then I didn't know that I had a taste for bizarre aesthetic controversy. It wasn't just different, it was my kind of different.</span></span></div>

<span style="vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I had no idea that I needed such friends until I realized that a piece I didn't know was missing found its place. It brought comfort and alleviation, it worked as a healing patch for the hidden bruises.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">20 years. It's hard to believe isn't it?</span></span></div>

<span style="vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">OK, Brian mistakenly addressed the crowd with “Sofia” (instead of Plovdiv). Twice. Some people made quite a fuss about it. I couldn't care less. I was there, they were there, it was pure magic; period. Magic is rare, it doesn't come to you every day so when it does I feel grateful, blessed and special to have been a part of it. Just like now. </span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There's a special place in my heart for Placebo and nothing will change that. There are 20 years behind to prove it.</span></span></div>

Every weekend I climb the stairs to inner peace only to slip fast back to ground zero on Monday morning. "Practice makes perfect"? Oh, please. It's no wonder that for the past month I listen exclusively to Nine Inch Nails with the eagerness of a drowningman fighting for breath. </span>balancehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04297363050143530446noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27014551.post-3209682256032693692017-05-24T14:00:00.001+03:002017-05-27T15:16:40.732+03:00Going!<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">OMG!

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One of my fellow NiN-ers posted "Closer" live from the 2008 "Lights in the sky" tour and... I mean, in over 20 years I have listened to that song over a 1000 times (yes, that's 1 followed by three 0s) and yet it still makes me drool. It's a mystery. And apparently it's for life. Lucky me.</span><br />

The nightmare is far from over, each new day redefines the meaning of exhaustion, and in a couple of weeks I earned more bad karma than in my entire life (not to mention the number of nerve cells destroyed in the process whose loss would've made more sense if I'd drunken myself to death). This too shall pass, I know. What I don't know is if the damages done will be reversible. Well, by the end of next week I might not care about that either. </span></span><br />
<span style="vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Sure, work is not worth it. But there's stress and there's stress, and there's only so much stress I can take so I wonder who's taking it now since I've reached my limits two weeks ago.</span></span><br />
<span style="vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The good news is (surprisingly good news can survive in a hostile environment; who knew?) that stress led to health scare that led to medical checkups that said I was in perfect condition. Good to know I still have enough health left to ruin.</span></span><br />
<span style="vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There's even more good news (oh, God, I don't know if I can bare the excitement): now I couldn't care less about anything/anyone that otherwise, in a seminormal situation, would've made me miserable. I only care to make it through the day, one day at a time. Not the best way to keep life simple though.</span></span>balancehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04297363050143530446noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27014551.post-52240648619815541012017-05-08T12:25:00.000+03:002017-05-08T17:52:47.677+03:00PDA forever<div dir="ltr" id="docs-internal-guid-5e9d86c8-e75d-e350-aa67-ab1fd5cf1ef0" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">You know how teenagers in love are. Always hand in hand as if an evil power will throw them away in different dimensions if they let go of one another, always making eye contact as an assurance that their object of desire isn't just a hallucination, compulsively kissing and hugging; and when they finally have to part they look at each other and wave goodbye until they lose one another out of sight.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /><span style="vertical-align: baseline;">Today I witnessed the whole “young love” ritual from up close… only they weren't teenagers but a couple in their sixties. I was on the subway, opposite them. The woman had to get off and seconds before the door opened the man patted his chest where the heart is with his hand, pointed at her and blew her a kiss. It was the most heartwarming sight I've seen in a long time. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There's a Drink Water Reminder app. I could use an app to remind me there's more to life than work. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">But there is such an app. It's called "friends". Apparently I need a reminder about that too.</span>balancehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04297363050143530446noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27014551.post-79481340383822356702017-05-06T13:21:00.000+03:002017-05-06T18:19:08.104+03:00Stronger...I hope<div dir="ltr" id="docs-internal-guid-5e9d86c8-dd44-d47e-fc93-10fb1992b633" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">What a week. I'm not sure if I’ve ever felt so desperate in my life... but maybe my memory fails me. There was so much of everything, simply too much. But then again it wasn't all bad although the bad part was evil bad. There were rays of purifying light as well. I feel as if I was turned inside out, broken down to pieces and brought back together. This week was a walk down the nightmare lane but I made it to the other side and, although there's still no light at the end of the tunnel, at least it's not pitch dark anymore. “What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.” For the first time I relate to that. Can we, please, assume that I've learned my lesson? </span></span></div>
