Still kicking

So.. Yeah, for anyone interested i did not suicide or anything and i'm still alive. It's just that i'm not pissed off right now so i do not have anything to say. Maybe next week, dunno.

Getting away from IT

I just came back from Crete and i have to say that coming back sucks so badly that it reminds me of how much returning from Manchester sucked. So i guess, living in Athens is not for me. Fuck this. Fuck the traffic. Fuck the heat and the smog. Fuck me, fuck you, fuck everything. What the hell am i doing here? I don't belong here. Sure, i was unfortunately born in this fucking city, but i do not want to live here anymore. I want to go some place where i won't have to schedule a "meeting" with my friends 2 days in advance, cause everybody is too busy or lives in the other side of this hell. I want to come back from work without thinking "Fuck i have to go back tommorow". I do not want to spend my whole life in a car, a bus or a metro. I do not want to live just for the weekend. I do not want to hate Monday.
Maybe i just have to realize (sooner or later) that i'll never do what i want, and i'll just have to compromize with this stupid way of living for the rest of my life. Or maybe i won't and i'll become a drug addict or an alcoholic. Or maybe someday we'll piss off some super-power and they will have to bomb Athens and then rebuilt it. Yeah, that sounds like the best solution

This looks like a job 4 me

so everybody just follow me. I'm going to Crete Thursday night.Yeah! Finally 4 days off. I found a cheap ticket for just 35euros return, by boat of course. Only problem is that it's a 9 hours trip and i'll have to sleep in my sleeping bag on the deck, cause gatting a cabin was too expensive. No sweat, i've done it before many times.
Ok i have a question: Who the fudge listens to all those Christian Rock Groups? And what is the point? How can Rock be christian? Or muslim? or budist? or religious? or satanist? In other words: How lame are u people listening to bands that i cannot name here cause i do not want to get sued by some religious fanatics? I thought there were just a couple of them out there, but i found out that there are more than that.

Yes sir i can boogie...

...that must be the lamest song ever. Anyway, i bought some books so now i can study by myself about computer networking. That was the only solution cause Cisco and Microsoft courses cost about 3000 Euros which is like 3 times (actually more than that) the money i make in a month. It seems that if you are not rich you are not allowed to study or have a life in general. I have an MSc in computers, i can speak 4 languages and i get paid sth around 700 Euros per month, which is about 700$ and less than 500 pounds. Which means i'm getting 90 pounds more than someone who has finished high school and works in Mac Donalds in the morning shift, cause people working in the night shift get the same money as me. Of course some might say: Yeah, but prices there are cheaper. My answer is : Cheaper my ass! They used to be cheaper. Check this out: In order to rent a tiny flat with one bedroom i would have to pay around 300 euros.If you add bills to that you get sth like 400 euros per month. Which means you have to survive with 300 euros per month. Which is 200 pounds. Which is not possible. Which means you get stuck with your parents for ever. Or you get a roomate.But wait... How can you get a roomate in a country where everyone seems to like leaving with their parents until they get married.Which means i have to get married.Which i believe is worse than leaving with your parents.
You know, i could go on with those "which" sentences for ever, but maybe not today Josephine.

Heaven, i'm in heaven.....NOT

It's true i'm not updating my blog very often, but it looks like i have nothing to say. I have more to say when i feel angry, which i do not lately. I'm still trying to figure out where i am going from here, have to settle some things in my mind. It's like that Linkin Park song: I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m close to something real
I wanna find something I’ve wanted all along,somewhere I belong. That's probably cause i still don't feel i belong where i am right know. What scares me is that it might take my whole life to figure that out. Anyway, fuck it. I'm going out.

Getting away with it

Although i do like my job, i think that nobody should work.Maybe we should all try to create some other kind of social system in which nobody will work, unless he wants to. I mean if i could get by without needing money, i would do other things. I know some of you might think i'm stupid but the first think i would do is to continue my studies. Now that i think about it i never studied because i had to , but because i wanted to. Sure, i was not happy about having to study instead of going out having fun but in general i went to the university cause i wanted to and i did my MSc cause I wanted to.
Back to the whole "system" issue: I'm kind of disapointed from everything. It seems to me that all known political/economical systems have failed. What really annoys me, is that i haven't got an answer or a better proposal, so it looks like the only solution is to accept things they way the are. Maybe that's the trap though... I don't know... I hope someday somebody more intelligent than me can find a solution or just make a new proposal.

The Bible and my Job

I never believed in the stupid story about David and Golliath for many reasons. Now i think i have a new version of it. David was not a real human being. He was a mosquito. That's why he managed to kill Golliath, probably by pissing him off . On the other hand maybe i'm just making that up, because last night i woke up by the sound of a mosquito flying close to my ear. I was trying to kill the fucker for 35 minutes untill i decided that it wasn't worth it so i got back to sleep. These morning i woke up with obvious signs of the mosquito's attack.
Apart from that, i realized today that working is a bad habbit. No matter how early i go to bed, i feel tired the next day. In addition, working here sucks even more cause it means that i'm not going back to Manchester, UK (at least in the near future).
Have to go now, i think David is back

Why summer in Athens blows

1) It's 35 C now, so imagine how hot it will get in July & August
2) Everybody thinks that it's a good idea to go out, so there is always a huge traffic jam
3) Everybody thinks that it's a good idea to go to the sea, so there is always a huge traffic jam
4) People who do not have a car (like myself) cannot go anywhere. If you take the bus you will have to be ready to smell sweaty armpits.If you take a taxi you will have to pay more than you earn in a week, because you will definately get stuck in the traffic jam i mentioned before.
5) Because of the heat my computer is slower
6) I do not have enough money to get away
7) Everybody who has a car thinks that it's a good idea to play his music really-really-really loud. So when you are stuck in the previously mentioned traffic jam, you have to listen to 20 different songs at the same time, coming from 20 different cars
8) Women have from 1 up to 2 pieces of clothing on, including their underwear and you might get arrested for rape

I'm pretty sure nb is reading my blog cause all my friends are assholes. They usually have an excuse like: I'm busy doing sth. Well you do not seem that busy everyday that u surf through all those porno sites.
Anyway, i'm also fed up with this SARS thing. First of all, according to the World Health Organization SARS's rate of fatality is sth like 5%. This means it has the almost the same rate of fatality that the common flue has. Moreover, according to the World Health Organization (again!) the possibility of getting it is lower than getting the common flue virus. So why the hell are they trying to scare people? There are many theories about that, but since i'm not sure about any of them i prefer to remain silent (for now)
Finally for all u drug addicts out there, check this http://news.com.au/common/story_page/0,4057,6365202%255E13762,00.html

For those of you who are not in Greece (lucky bastards):
If you are interested in coming here for the Olympic Games of 2004, now is the time to book tickets (12 May-12June). For more information check: http://tickets.athens2004.com/en/

P.S To my female friends: You can stay in my place during the olympic games as long as you are willing to have sex with me.
To all males reading this: I have a gay friend who lives in marousi (very close to the olympic stadium of athens) who can accomodate. Sometimes he posts in my blog as Mythos

Dude. I don't know if I've got my own blog or if I'm just posting on yours. This is not a very self-explanatory blog site. Join LiveJournal! I'll get you a pass code.
I need a drink.
See you soon!

Finally, you found your natural home... Not Athens, not Manchester, but the unlimited space of the internet. Put some colour in your page, some pictures of you so we all know how handsome you are. I don't really see the point of blogging but now I will have to create my own blog...
Looking forward to reading your philosophies.

It looks like this blog sucks big time. I got messages from people saying that they cannot post their comments. I think there is a solution to that, but i'll have to manually add people in my friends list so that they can post their comments.
I'm also planning to change the template (or layout for ignorants) of my page at some point.
Maybe tommorow..

When i decided to start this blog (a long time ago..that is yesterday) i thought i had a lot of things to say. It seems now that i suck in blogging.
Today i made the easiest 30euros a man can make. I just installed windows 98 and office 2000 in sb's computer and i got paid for it. Of course i've already spent 15 , since i went out for dinner. Man, i miss Lal'quilla. For those of u not leaving in Manchester, Lal'quilla (i think it's spelled like that) is a pakistani restaurant in Manchester.
After dinner i came back home and i watched another crappy movie in my PC: "Charlotte Gray". I hate movies with good endings cause i feel that they are not realistic.(Or maybe i'm just judging based on the fact that in my life things are not that "happy" always. Of course i haven't seen the end yet

2003-05-02T05:52:00.000+03:00

Ok so i admit it.. I got jealus.. First it was Jenny then Liane. How could i resist? I had to create my own blog.
My only concern is that i may find my own writings stupid after a while and i won't want to read them again.
Anyway...
