clams and sautillé
one moment you are fed in the mouth delicious clams, all opened and cleaned with some drops of lemon on the top that make your taste buds explode with delight. next moment you struggle to open them by yourself by putting so much effort that makes the knife bend. the following moment you are one of that small creatures, you tingle by the citric acid and shudder in pain before swallowed down by carnal lips.
and then you stand in the middle trying to figure out who are you and who the heck you want to be. being pampered is pleasant and confirming but also deceitful and temporal. trying by yourself is lonesome and sad but strengthening and fulfilling. being about to be consumed is horrifying and painful but carefree and easygoing too.
and now what?
and why the fuck I can hear the shutter button from your camera clicking in my head?!

float or dive
I thought I would swim along with sardines and atherines, chat with sparous, race needlefishes and relax while floating on the surface where the sunbeams would tickle the saltwater drops laying on my eyelids. instead I go underwater, shake hands with octopuses, hug scorpionfishes, and kiss morays. hmm… diving to the bottom of the sea where the cold water alarms your body is so much fun sometimes!

turquoise
it is important to have friends that share their true thoughts about you, with you. that do not oversee your mistakes. that are not soft and sweet but sincere and harsh if it is needed. that can look you in the eyes and tell you ‘you fucked it up! now lets see what you can do to make things up’.
you may not take their advise. you may remain in your swamp slumping slowly. at least you know that apart from those ‘caring’ souls who apply SPF 50+ mud on your back, there are people around ready to pull you out if you choose to.

I'm easy like Sunday morning
there had been quite some time since I attended a live that I enjoyed. I don’t know exactly what happened at Friday's, Zak Stefanou & the mPanda-Koala, kinda acoustic gig. was it the nice tunes that came out of skilled fingers? was it the beautiful voices framed in full of expressions faces? or was it my need to escape for a while? either way yesterday’s live was good, reeeally good.
Zak Stefanou vocals – guitar, Dennis Konstantinidis guitar – vocals, Takis Taniskidis bass, Leonidas Kougioumtzoglou drums. the four of them performed their own songs as well as famous rock covers, filled the air with notes and myself with thoughts… hm, no no wrong! rather with feelings. too much thinking is bad sometimes and my doctor prescribed me an anti-reminisce anti-analyze drug that I take. unfortunately consign to oblivion is a possible side effect, but well, you can’t have it all right! better with amnesia than with depression… ha!

new year's eve blackout
and then suddenly the lights went out. no, it wasn’t the turn of the year yet. it was a blackout. a blackout that lasted about an hour. an hour of memories. memories and thoughts… and sweet words. words that you are used to hear from your own mouth. words that please you and scare you, soothe you and amaze you. what a wonderful present for new years eve!
happy 2011!

after the phone call
the best thing of living on your own is that you can return late at night, throw away your shoes and socks, drop yourself in bed with the clothes and cry your heart out with nobody around to disturb this sacred moment of self knowing.

Melfys's depression
“you are pathetic! your petty little life is a fraud! and if you disappear off the face of the earth nobody will actually loose a thing”.
Melfys was depressed for a long time now and a familiar voice inside his head kept muttering these words. so he sniffed some glue till he got high. he bought and ate tones of candy till he threw up. he went to the liquer store and got himself alcohol which he took with sleeping pills till he passed out. thought these would help him out of his misery. but no. each day he woke up more and more wretched. so one day he decided to put an end to all these by jumping off the balcony.

and at this very moment a microscopic flash happened inside his head. a small nerve conjunction seemed to have putted back in function an abandoned part of his brain. and that voice yelled at him “WHAAAT?! bullshits! life is far too great to waste it with all that. snap out of it you fool!”.
Melfys washed himself off the awful smell of abandonment. he got rid of all the poisons in his house. and he went for a walk. as he was walking he was looking at the people around him. observing them. people. full of controversies. able to make him miserable. able to make him happy. how wonderful creatures. how lucky he was around them, breathing, feeling, being… and that voice again.
“you are not too bad! after all you are the first bunny who made it to the human world. and that is something for sure!”
my prints from the exhibition. not good quality but full of personality… eh? ; )

for old time's sake
I am not attending photography class this season and I am sad about it. I have good excuses of course, like my thesis that I have to complete, a new professional beginning that I have to make, blah blah blah. I am only worried that these are excuses after all… anyway. there was a post pending. the one with photos from my photography class’s photo exhibition that held in June 2010. well here it is. some pics from the day before and the preparations and some from the opening day. once again many thanks to my photography teacher George Panos and my fellow students, who made that period of my life interesting and self-knowing. as for my own prints… those who didn’t attend the exhibition will have to wait a little more to see them… just a little ; )

I don't give a shit
please don’t get me wrong. I am not angry or jealous or sad or disappointed or mistreated or neglected…
I just don’t give a shit! … at least until the break of dawn. which is in a couple of hours…

open your eyes
“open your eyes! look around you. life is full of shit. the only things that matter is surviving and having a good time. and the only things you can do is taking advantage of anything and anyone and enjoy whatever!”
our world is full of bad people doing bad things.
sometimes we have the means to fight against them. sometimes our means are very limited. either way the feeling of justice arms us with confidence for our cause and power to try, at least, and fix whatever can be fixed.
but what about good people doing bad things?
what if you know that a person’s way of perceiving life is twisted? what if you understand that his morality is a field with loose boundaries? what if you know that corruption is in his everyday life?
and what if you look in his eyes and besides all these you see no evil? you see stupidity. tones of it, yes. but no evil. you see a child looking back at you. an oblivious one, yes, but still a child. who needs the only thing that every person needs. to be loved. how can you not love him?!
and what is your moral duty as a human? to drag him out of the marsh? yes! to lead him in the path of reality and virtue? yes yes!! to save him? yes yes YES!!! and how???
shiiit! how can I? who am I? I myself am full of shit! I am no better! I am not even sure about my moral virtues. I do not have the strength! I don’t want to put myself through this. I have my own problems to deal with! fuck him! imbecility is not an excuse. why should I care after all, he is nothing to me! shit! shit! shiiit!
I am not good enough… not good enough…
please God give me strength and show me the right way. cause if I want to name myself a human, I HAVE to do something… anything…
if I am even a little worth to him, is leaving him an option? is depriving him of my presence an option? maybe this will make him gain consciousness. or is it just the easy way for me not to deal with the problem? just turn my back hoping things will get better… and what does that make me..? a wise one or a coward..?
“open your eyes! look around you! life is precious! YOUR life is precious! don’t waste it! the only thing that matters is love. and the only thing you can do is to love your fellow men and yourself cause that is the only way life is worth living.”
