Picture puzzle

Three mornings while  passing this board I was wondering what it was about. I had some very romantic ideas and thoughts.
 

But as simple as it is - this board is just an advertising of Ukrtelekom 3G connection. it's kind of sad.

View from my window

The atmosphere is my room is really cozy because of the weather. It is so warm to be home on such a  Sunday evening. I
- edit movie clips
- write e-mails
- talk over Scype
- think about business ideas
- read MBA blogs in Internet
- track my football bets online
- listen to Fatboyslim

and every I turn my head left I see amazing snow picture:

10 reasons for good mood

I Feel so good now because:
- I had finally slept (3 hours last night + a few in train + 5 at home)
-I am happy for my friend who married (friends actually)
- Wedding itself was very  nice (hope to write more details soon)
- I just had  a few Scype conversations with very interesting people
- Massadra Muskat tastes really good
- I won 250 UAH at bets this weekend (lost 300 during last two)
- I planned my week already
- tomorrow I go to my favorite client
-my apartment looks neat after cleaning part
- a bath with aroma bubble bath could be a sole reason for the good mood :)

Money.Gifts.Parties

Interesting fact: as usual I am close to be broke at the end of the month, however I spent good  amount on gifts today. It must true that 100 friends are more important than 100 money  equivalents. (rubli in original).

And as for gifts I had 3 ideas of gift for close (very close) friend's wedding. One turned to be impossible, second I rejected as too traditional, third was not fulfilled due to luck of time. So the gift will be money plus little personal valuable thing. Or last moment wonderful idea plus little personal valuable thing.

As for parties I have 1 hour between today's farewell party (3 people has left our company) and train, which will take me to tomorrow's wedding. Surprising, but 15 minutes of it are dedicated to Internet. Addicted.

Currently listening : Texas "Careful what you wish for"

Inconvenient truth

I knew the main idea. I have read some articles about global warming. I was still shocked by "Inconvenient Truth".
IAl Gore is awarded for his work by Novel Prize. He deserves it.  More people care now. More discussions held. Along new catastrophes appear the demand for global solutions will be stronger and stronger.

Personally, I believe that environmental issues should get priority over social ones. And we act to make it happen tomorrow. As "A Day After Tomorrow" might be too late.

If nothing happens, in a few decades the mankind will destroy the planet. And then the Earth will destroy us.

Enjoy the movie.

The story raised huge criticism

Finally, you may like Al or not, but the planet is being destroyed by us. I doubt anybody can deny that.

To do statistics

No matter how effective I am it keeps piling up ! Statistics is scary:
- 7 reminders in Outlook (oldest is 18 weeks overdue)
- 16 tasks in paper To do list (all for Sat - Sun)
- 14 reminders in phone
- 2 creative ideas and 1 speech to prepare

it's the way I love it. Life is Life as you know.
"When we all give the power
We all give the best
Every minute of an hour
Don't think about the rest
Then you all get the power
You all get the best
When everyone gives everything
And every song everybody sings"

To have Sat for yourself is wonderful. Good time to stop and think.

Some drum&base hits, prioritizing, First things First, and I will ready for start of new Monday morning.

Pure theory

“Relax. Feel like you slip on the water” – one good swimmer, always tells me. I finally achieved it. Felt absolutely relaxed. I discovered it is good to think when you slip on the water.

Life must be successful. Success is in the harmony. Luck of harmony causes wishes. You try. And than stop. Why would want something you can’t have? Or may be you can. But you missed it already. What if it has been the most important thing in your life. But can you be sure about it?

Life is a game, I believe. Theory of probabilities matters. It changes the life path. Coincidences happen for the purpose. Maybe. But no. Choice is never predefined. It just reflection of thoughts, our mind gathers coincidences to justify it. However, are thoughts primary?

Life is a strange thing. Like this Thursday was. Luckily, I have Enya in my music folder.

Who can say
where the road goes
where the day flows
only time

Eating in MacDonalds

It is 7 a.m Friday morning, and I feel happy to overcome Thursday, September 13. Due to Zuccero the day started only after 5 hours sleep. Morning I made a presentation about Internet market in Ukraine and continued with work and number of other very important things.

Horrible as it is, but because of time luck I had to have lunch in MacDonald’s. So basically I want to share the attitude about MacDonald’s, which MensHealth advices.

Imagine, the critical situation in your life occurred and you have to save time by eating in Macdonald’s. Amazing, however they do have some tasty and acceptable for the rational nutrition food.

MensHealth states that the healthiest food there is actually a cheeseburger. (Allright, salads as well, but they are overpriced and tasteless). Of course one is not enough for me, so I took two (still not much, but taking three will look stupid I guess).  And no French fries, pies, big juicy dinosaurs, etc, etc. For the drink the best choice is cold tea (Lipton), which I really love from the USA life.
So that was it, two cheeseburgers and a bottle of tea. Must be true, if I managed to survey this Crazy Thirsday.
