Ερωτεύτηκες;

6 Sep

Η πιο ανόθευτη μορφή του έρωτα μπορεί να έρθει μόνο από κάποιο έφηβο αγόρι. Πάντα το πίστευα και ιδού μία επιβεβαίωση.  Ευχαριστώ τον Johnny Kass που το μοιράστηκε. Keep an eye on him! Links στο τέλος του post.

Σε μια νύχτα η ζωή σου αλλάζει. Προσπαθείς να καταλάβεις το νόημα πίσω απο κάθε προηγούμενη κίνηση. Αχρηστεύεις ακοή και όραση και βυθίζεσαι, χωρίς να προσαρμοστείς στο σκοτάδι. Δεν ακούς αλλά μέσα σου ουρλιάζεις τόσο δυνατά! Έχεις κλείσει όλες τις πόρτες έχεις αμπαρώσει κάθε παράθυρο για τόσα χρόνια. Εκείνη τη νύχτα τα αφήνεις όλα ανοιχτά, μιλάς με ειλικρίνεια και δισταγμό. Είσαι παιδί ακομά και φοβάσαι. Δεν θέλεις να χάσεις αλλά μόνο να την κερδίσεις.

Και εκείνη σε ακούει και σου μιλάει. Σε φιλάει και σου γελάει. Δεν έχεις δει πιο όμορφο άνθρωπο σε όλη σου τη ζωή! Την ερωτεύεσαι παράφορα κάνεις λάθη όμως είσαι ευτυχισμένος. Αυτή η εικόνα γραπώνεται σφιχτά σε κάθε σου ανάμνηση και σε κάνει να χαμογελάς κάθε βράδυ όσο πληγωμένος και αν νιώθεις.

Έρωτας είναι να γυρνάς στο κρεβάτι σου χαράματα μεθυσμένος από το άρωμα των μαλλιών της που έγινε ένα με το δικό σου. Έρωτας είναι η γεύση της στο στόμα σου που απεγνωσμένα προσπαθείς να ξαναγευτείς. Έρωτας είναι η εικόνα της που σε στοιχείωνει όλη την ημέρα. Εκείνη η είκονα της.. Έρωτας είναι όταν νιώθεις την αγκαλιά σου άδεια μέχρι να την δεις.

Με δισταγμό κλείνεις τα κομμάτια που άνοιξες. Όλα γράφουν το όνομα σου. Οι μέρες σε προσπερνούν και εσύ είσαι μόνος. Τα πράγματα δεν έγιναν όπως τα ονειρεύτηκες αλλά δεν σε νοιάζει. Είσαι ακόμα ερωτευμένος. Αληθινά, απόλυτα και σκοτεινά ερωτευμένος.

Πες’με τρελό…

Hardcore Ballet

3 Sep

Stage diving + Crowd surfing

  • Considered to have been made popular by Iggy Pop
  • Requirements: Acquire the right angle while falling, be sure to be able to overjump the gap between the stage and the audience if there is one, make sure to have a dense enough crowd to jump into, be sure the audience like you more than they like the laughs of watching you crush, money/ mobile/ jewelry,leave it behind or say goodbye, be drunk enough to not feel pain, just in case

Duet

Pirouette

Extreme chairing

Pogo

  • It may come from African tribes dance,  it may not
  • Basic steps: Jump up and down while staying in the same place.
  • Be creative: Keep your torso rigid or thrash it about, hold your arms stiffly at your sides or flail them, keep your legs together or kick about, jump straight up and down or in any direction or spinning in the air.

Punk

Oh, those were the days! People really knew how to pogo!

And one, and two..

Headbanging

  • There arguments about when it became official . Its birth is associated with Led Zeppelin and Motorhead concerts.
  • Preferences: The longer the hair the better, don’ t try it if you don’ t have a sense of rhythm, bang your body along with your head or else prepare for serious headaches and a stiff neck. Feel free to move your head up and down or in a circular motion, alone or in a line with your friends.

Scene from the famous ballet "Rapunzel"

Moshing

  • When the audience pushes each other
  • There are many styles like the “wall of death”, the “mosh pit”, etc.
  • Preferences: Don’ t do it if your are afraid to get hurt and don’ t consider it a chance to sort out differences. Violence is fun only when it’ s unreasonable.

Mixed technic. Moshing, crowd surfing, etc.

With grace ladies, with grace!

Eat your dinner or I' ll throw you in the mosh pit!

Air guitar

  • The most creative of them all! Pretend to play the guitar and be as much of a virtuoso as you like. If you want you can add dance moves, singing, switch to some air drum playing, play riffs or solos and if you practise enough you can compete in the “Air Guitar World Championship” and live your moment of fame

Circle pit

  • Consists of people with an aggressive attitude running in a circle going nowhere in particular
  • Instructions: Forget your good manners. You are not bounded to stay in the line, to run in the right direction or try not to push anyone. Enjoy being rude!

Sign of the horns

  • If you are a teenage rocker I’ m sure you have posed in a lot of photos doing the sign of the horns. If you are not a teenager and still pose like that, you are preventing your friends’ photos from being facebook material. Though it’ s advisable for all ages, you may want to hide these photos from your grandmother since they tend to associate it with the devil. The sign of the horns has a long history and it even has its own emoticon \m/

Youtube subscribing

27 Aug

I spend at least an hour everyday on youtube (not a very busy person right now) and I am a devoted youtube subscriber. I could explain why in many ways but instead I prefer to show you some of my favorite channels.

1. The Philip DeFranco Show

Philip DeFranco or “Sxephil” as we, his subscribers, call him is 25-year-old American youtuber. Although he has a chronic disease, that doesn’ t stop him from being one of the most cynical people I know, being sarcastic even about his condition. He is a very active youtuber but this is his main channel, on which he talks about politics, gossip and anything he finds interesting or important enough going on the time. He edits his video using jumb cuts to create a fast-paced feel.

2. Equals Three =3

The man behind this channel is Ray William Johnson, a college student who lives in New York and what he basically does is review viral videos on Youtube, which he choses from the ones submitted by his subscribers. His sense of humor is very common among the internet community and he uses internet slang, coming from the popular site “4chan”. Ray’ s cousin “Meekakitty” is also well-known youtuber.

[Note: 4chan is the where all the internet culture derives from]

3. MysteryGuitarMan

MysteryGuitarMan is Joe Penna, a 23 year old man from Brazil, who lives in LA, California. He is a very skillful musician and animator. On this channel, he combines his talents and the outcome is really worth it. Joe actually quit medical school and turned to cinematography.

4. Community Channel

Natalie Tran is a second generation Vietnamese Australian 24 year old student. She vlogs about awkward and humorous situations in her life and social dilemmas, often adding multi-role skirts, in which she plays most of the characters. Her sense of humor is observational and self-deprecating.

http://www.youtube.com/user/communitychannel

5.  Michelle Phan

Michelle Phan is a Vietnamese American beauty guru. She talks in a calm voice and the background music is also very calming. I watch her videos when I have trouble sleeping and it really helps falling asleep. If you suffer from insomnia you should totally try it out!

6. Tsimfuckis

The story behind this boy is kind of sad but despite the first shock, his videos are sickly funny. He talks in a “gangsta” kind of way and he plays it tough while being the weirdest looking man ever. And I mean, the WEIRDEST!

7. Nickole 337

This girl is my hero. She’ s a geek, she can’ t sing, she isn’ t beautiful, she isn’ t smart and most importantly she has NO CLUE!

Shopping Therapy

18 Aug

Today I had been studying for my upcoming exams for hours and I really needed a break. So I thought I’ d ride my bike and take a stroll around my neighborhood until all this hubbub left my brain, maybe follow new roads and discover some new spots. It was late in the afternoon so the sunrays were kindly warming and there was a slight breeze. The road led me to a supermarket so I left my bike and continued my strolling inside the store, looking for something fun to buy. I ended up buying a lovely pair of gardening gloves and some fruity ice pops for children (which I’ ve put in the freezer and will eat tomorrow) :) Oh, the recharging power of shopping!

..here comes the bed intruder!

I’ ve been LFMAO with the footage about Huntsville police searching for a man who broke into a home, got into bed with a woman and tried to rape her. Her brother ran out to help and managed to save her. On the video the brother of the victim sends a message to the attacker in the most epic way of all time.. The brother’ s reaction was apparently very inspiring..Watch the following videos to see why!

Here’ s the original video:

Here’ s the “Bed Intruder Song”! FTW! :

Here’ s a cover of the “Bed Intruder Song” played on a Tsugaru shamisen!! :

Here’ s a jazzy, girly cover of the song:

Oinousses (Οινούσσες)

10 Aug

Travelling in the past: Mission complete

Google search for “greek islands with no cars”, “..no tourists”, “..no noise”, etc, gave few results, I guess because people who are aware of such places don’ t wish to share the secret, which is perfectly logical since time and again we’ ve witnessed the invasion of tourists ruin hidden, beautiful and virgin places. So after a week’ s intense search we finally found the perfect destination.

The port

Oinousses (Οινούσσες) is a collection of small greek islands near Chios island. Although the largest one, Aignoussa (Αιγνούσσα), is very much known, mainly as the birthplace of famous shipowners, people find it too desolated for a vacation destination, chosing to visit it with boats from Chios island for one day trips rather than staying there, which was obvious by the number of accommodations, which were about five or so.

The Oinoussian Mermaid

For literally last-minute planners, we were very lucky finding convenient plane tickets to Chios and booking the last room available. Arriving there we were pleasantly surprised to see that everything was so much better than expected. We found the deserted oasis that we were looking for, enjoying beautiful beaches all by ourselves, taking walks around beautiful vacant houses, enjoying the difficulties of a place where people have no care at all for the visitors and regaining peace of mind after a series of stressful months.

Seeing pictures of the island from the 1900′ s at the local “Oinoussian Maritime Museum” we noticed that the island hasn’ t really changed throughout all these years. After recently thinking about time machines and travelling in the past, it occurred to me that I finally had a kind of back-in-time experience.

PICTURE DIARY

“Pateronisso”. One can reach it by swimming. I actually did.


“Agios Ioannis beach”. To reach it we had to follow the goats’ pathways and climb, since there is no road that can lead you there.

“Demis”, the wall climbing dog
In the back, Fra in his cave reading his book about zombies :P
“Chatzali beach”. One more “private” beach.

Walking to the beach through the pines we saw rabbits go by
There were a lot of fig trees on the island
“Kathisma” beach.
There were also a lot of bees. Fra got stung by one :P
We stayed at the beach till the sun went down

Local people dancing..
..and falling in love
“Chara”, the stray pekingese of the island
The statue of the “Oinoussian mother” waving goodbye. The men of the island are mainly sailors.
Fishing boats
ΕΠΙΦΑΝΩΝ ΝΑΥΤΩΝ ΠΑΣΑ ΘΑΛΑΣΣΑ ΤΑΦΟΣ
Having breakfast at the marine club
This cat thought he was our pet, sneaking into the house and asking for food
He also brought his miniature friend
If you are to make some tortellini pasta in a pan (with chillie con carne sauce) be sure to be hungry enough to eat it :P
Interesting luggage :P

Fastest way to be hated by your neighbors

27 Jul

Neighbors.

Want them to like you? Bake them a cake.

Want them to hate your guts? Cut or even better take off the exhaust of your miserable bike and drive around your block.

I would even cheat to go first in line to throw a rotten egg on this head of yours with the hideous haircut.

Can someone explain to me how does a farting-like-noise-producing bike make you cooler?

Mystery behind Royksopp lyrics revealed!

24 Jul

I love Royksopp‘ s track “So easy“, but the lyrics aren’ t easy to perceive.

This is the song:

After making fun with friends about what the lyrics may be [for greeks only: like the greek words "παναγία μου" or "μαλ..κία μου" :P ], I wanted to find out what the lyrics really are. Google search for lyrics gave various results, for example “Who are you?/ Da dee da da dee/ Who are you?/ I don’t think I do…”, which were obviously wrong! In the end I found out that Royksopp’ s song features a sample from an old song called “Blue on blue” by Bobby Vinton! I feel wiser already! :P

Comes out that the lyrics are “Blue on blue/ Heartache on heartache/ Blue on blue/ Now that we are through”..

So for those of you who are curious and weren’ t aware of the useless information provided above, here is the original track!

Girliest gadget ever!

23 Jul

As a little girl I never was a Barbie fan. I didn’ t really find any interesting ways to play with a doll, so as a lot of little girls do, after I gave my Barbie dolls rock haircuts and “tortured” them, I went on to the next , hopefully more creative, activity. Today I found out that there is a Barbie doll that has gone through a major make-over. The “Barbie Video Girl”! This Barbie doll has a video camera built into its necklace and a LCD video screen on her back. One can record videos up to 30 minutes long (and can even go to Barbie.com to edit them, add effects, etc.) Barbie can be connected to your computer via a pink usb cable!

This Barbie doll is fairly affordable, it costs around $50 and became available just this month. It may not be as sophisticated as an HD sony cam recorder but it sure is a very original one! It’ s time for little girls to take revenge for all the boring toys they have to put with when little boys have remote-controlled cars and constructibles and the such! This Barbie doll won a Toy Innovation Award in this years International Toy Fair in Nuremberg, Germany.

I don’ t want this post to look like an advertise but it would be unfair not to provide a link where you can get the Barbie Video Girl from:

Tortured Barbie doll :P
