Men Like Wolves, Wolves Not Like Men

Sometimes animals are… more human(e) than us… o reclama superba, in regia lui Bruno Aveillan, un tatuc in commercial directing. It’s that little bit different, it has a powerful message and one can’t really figure what’s it about until the end… Enjoy!

It was about time… eternity has somehow ended… glasul rotilor de tren nu ma va mai f*te-n cur etern… Was it worth it? I don’t really know, although I should after all this time… Now comes the harder part, but somehow this relieve of tension and everything is calming and comforting… I just hope it’s gonna be useful somehow… at least a bit. Also sprach WeeGee!

PS: I’m taking a break for a few days… not that I was too active lately anyway…

I’m a Little Megastar Myself…

June 25, 2010 By: WeeGee Category: Life, Personale

…after one year since the passing of THE megastar… This year I’ve put aside the personal grudges (from which I had nothing to gain) I had with some key jerks, assholes and shitheads in school, also put aside the laziness, took particular things much less seriously then I did before (which was a good idea) but took things more seriously as a whole, and did what I should have done a couple of years ago… at least. There’s just one more small step to take (which in itself is a big one but it’s almost formal) and it will be over… and on to a new chapter… This year I’ve left aside quite a lot of vanity for a little bit of perfection… and it was worth it…

Cei care zic o tampenie si sunt foarte siguri de ea, siguri pe ei si o tot tin pe a lor… Aparent are si un nume chestia asta… sau ceva pe acolo…

“The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices but their incompetence robs them of the metacognitive ability to realize it.”

Break(down)

June 12, 2010 By: WeeGee Category: Life, Personale

Pauza… nu stiu pana cand… I’m too tired… too busy… too low… too sad… too hot, and I don’t mean good looking… I have too little time for this… too little interest or concern… I see too little sense in this…

O sa mai vina cred melodia de miercuri (scheduled about 2-3 days ago) si apoi cine mai stie ce si mai ales cand… Pa si pu la toata lumea…

Hammond Meets Moss

June 09, 2010 By: WeeGee Category: Cars, Film, Life

Richard Hammond a realizat un documentar pentru BBC (dar facut de el/de firma lui – Hamster’s Wheel Productions LTD) cu si despre Sir Stirling Moss, pilot de Formula 1 (si nu numai) in anii ’50 si ’60, poate cel mai mare pilot de F1 care nu a reusit sa castige un titlu mondial.

“Moss, who raced from 1948 to 1962, won 212 of the 529 races he entered, including 16 Formula One Grands Prix. He would compete in as many as 62 races in a single year and drove 84 different marques of car over the course of his racing career, including Lotus, Vanwall, Maserati, Jaguar, Ferrari and Porsche. Like many drivers of the era, he competed in several formulae – very often on the same day.”

Quite nice and interesting, this isn’t your ordinary cars/motorsports documentary, Top Gear style… documentarul este mai degraba despre mintea/creierul uman si cum se comporta el inainte si mai ales dupa un accident grav (cu leziuni cerebrale), fie ca e vorba despre mintea unui fost pilot de curse sau a unui “simplu” jurnalist auto (si nu numai). Dupa cum am zis, filmul e mai mult unul… uman, nu unul tehnic, reusind sa surprinda, printre fapte si statistici ale acelor vremuri, multe emotii, trairi, amintiri, bucurii si regrete deopotriva… Pe langa asta, pentru un om care si-a incheiat cariera in 1962, la doar 33 de ani, o varsta oarecum frageda sau cel mult medie pentru pilotii acelor vremuri, in urma unui accident foarte serios, nenea Moss se tine foarte bine la cei 80 spre 81 de ani ai sai, atat fizic cat si mental… probabil ca o minte agera, o atentie suficienta asupra propriei persoane, propriului corp, si o viata fara prea multe griji sau lipsuri iti pot oferi o viata lunga si o batranete… daca nu frumoasa cel putin nu urata… I suppose…

Anyway, poate chiar esenta acestui documentar, sau una din ele (in caz ca o avea mai multe) o reprezinta ideea de… noroc/ghinion. Cei doi “patiti” sunt de parere ca nu se poate vorbi de noroc daca reusesti sa scapi sau sa iesi cu bine dintr-o situatie foarte dificila sau grea ci, dimpotriva, de ghinion, mai ales atunci cand lucrurile nu se remediaza sau repara niciodata in totalitate… de noroc poate fi vorba daca acea situatie nu s-ar fi intamplat in primul rand… idee cu care rezonez si pe care am trait-o si eu (sau cauza ei) la un moment dat (cel putin) in viata, pastrand proportiile si specificul fiecarei situatii…
