Sunt Major!

Am doar optispe ani,
Sunt nebun iubesc si nu am bani!
Nimeni nu-mi sta in drum,
Am soseaua mea doar cu-n singur sens ma va duce undeva?

Bacu l-am luat usor,
Am copiat la mate si la sport.
Scoala s-a terminat,
Libertate frate, poate facultate, si viata de noapte

Ref:
Visele mele
Se implinesc
Cit bat din palme sau cit clipesc!
Inspir(respir) iubire,
Expir(maninc) iubire,
Va dau la toti si va molipsesc.
Nimic in lume
Nu ma opreste
Sa urlu tare SUNT FERICIT!!!

Cam asa e refrenul piesei 18 ani, Vama Veche .

Ce mai sunt major!!!

8 Februarie 1991… repede au trecut …

Nici nu stiu ce scriu :”> … prea emotionat…

Cum am petrecut?

Hmmm petrecere de vis, la majorat (vineri, 6 februarie). Perfect din punctul meu de vedere :X . Distractie la greu! Nu ma asteptam la asa chef frumos .

Sambata, 7 februarie, petrecere intima, parca mai emotionanta, cu bunici,matusi,verisoare…era mai frumos de veneau si rudele din Spania, dar ne vom vedea curand .

hmmm…Adutza savurandu-ma, cred ca a “papat” un pic inainte de poza…:*

Si o parte din baieti >:D< …si 2 fetitze :* .De la stanga: Tugui,eu,Danutz,Stoia, Czika si Raul (jos :D),Dragos,Georgi,Edith

Fetele mele :*:*:* De la stanga:Ralu,Edith,Adutza,Ioana (jos :D ),Georgi,Bia

hmmm…savurand tortul din priviri :> deliciosss

La fel si Tugui, prieten adevarat

Da…Lupsa imbratisandu-ma ca un adevarat prieten!

hmm…tortul de la colegi…greu cu criza economica :))

Fara ei nu era nici un majorat >:D< :* .

P.S.: Am incercat sa il scriu inainte si sa il public la 00:00 , 8 Februarie , dar nu m-am putut  abtine sa nu il public in momentul in care l-am terminat!

Cum sa faci 1 miliard de euro la 75 de ani?

Citeam pe net, azi, cum face lumea bani pe timp de criza…ca mie chiar nu-mi mai merge deloc bine…castigurile au scazut de cateva ori, dar bineinteles nu am de gand sa renunt. Noi proiecte vor lua contur si sper sa fie unele profitabile .

Cine zice ca nu ne “umbla” mintea la batranete?

Cum sa faci 1 miliard de euro la 75 de ani?

Cred ca simplu, daca luam modelul lui japonez, om de afaceri in varsta de 75 de ani.

Ce a facut?

Pai tocmai “a tras pe sfoara” 37.000 de oameni. Kazutsugi Nami a inselat aceste persoane care au investit în plasamente ce promiteau un randament de 36% pe an, astfel a reusind sa stranga 1 Miliard de Euro din vanzarea unor monede virtuale. Deasemenea  a mai păcălit oamenii şi cu produse care trebuiau să reducă emisiile de noxe şi cu o piatră miraculoasă care transforma apa de la robinet în apă minerală. (Interesanta idee, dar trebuie sa fii prea credul sa cumperi o astfel de piatra ) ). Pentru aceasta isprava a fost inchis. Aici a avut ideea de a creea o moneda virtuala care sa scape lumea de saracie (interesanta idee, din nou imposibila ) ). La fel de ingenios a fost si numele monedei virtuale,  denumită “enten”, o combinaţie între ideogramele nipone ce reprezintă “yen” şi “paradis”.

Ce “afaceri” mai face acum?

Cred ca nu va sta degeaba, sigur o idee nastrusinica,imposibila, ii va trece prin minte, dar probabil prea tarziu pentru varsta sa ) .

Mai multe detalii aici.

Finala de Vis

Da…finala de vis la Australian Open…chiar asa. A fost unul dintre cele mai frumoase meciuri pe care l-am vazut. De ce? Pai cei care ati urmarit-o stiti …ceilalti? tenis frumos, de cea mai inalta clasa, adevarat spectacol.

Mi-a placut de Nadal, jucatorul meu favorit, a fost la toate cam la toate capitolele peste Federer. Elvetianul a fost prea marcat de aceasta finala, ceva l-a retinut, nu cred ca a jucat cel mai bun tenis al sau…in schimb spaniolul a dat totul pe teren, mingi imposibile returnate, raliuri castigate, absolut dupa fiecare minge alerga ca si cum ea era mingea de meci.

Scorul si statistica partidei:

Set/Scor/Castigator

• 1. 7-5 Nadal
• 2. 6-3 Federer
• 3. 7-6 (7-3 tiebreak) Nadal
• 4. 6-3 Federer
• 5. 6-2 Nadal

Back…

Da, promiteam ca o sa postez vrute si nevrute :-@ , dar se pare ca nu a venit nimic din partea mea…De ce? Pai…buna intrebare…lipsa de inspiratie? prea putin talent in a scrie? lipsa de timp? … nici eu nu stiu .

Dintr-o data am simtit iar nevoia de a scriiie din nou . Faptul ca am studiat mai mult internetul in perioada aceasta se va vedea, pentru ca se pare ca mi-am schimbat stilul de “a scrie”.

Ce am facut in perioada aceasta? Pai mai nimic, piedere de timp…ceva bani cu hostul de imagini, participarea la concursul de pe sacrescmare, erepublik , cam atat, o nimica toata…

Dar gata, am reluat activitatile pe internet, dornic de noi proiecte, colaborari, etc…

Astept cu interes sa vad cum o sa ma descurc si anul acesta, avand in vedere ca internetul a fost si el afectat de criza economica…
