To survive

Maybe your life is quiet and simple. You don't have to face with great dangerous and problems. You don't roaming at suspicious places and have a fight. You don't play at a lottery. You haven't been cheated. You haven't cheated. Ever. Even in school. Even to your wife. Husband. Teacher. Boss. Goverment and Financial Department(and seriously, better don't play with them...) and police. Never buy on bargains. You don't try to catch a chance for fast "luck". That's good. Your sleep is healthy and who cares about rest?
Maybe.
But really, how many of us live like that? Sooner or later we all will be forced in some non-simple situation, either by others or by ourselfs.

So today few things you have to learn to survive.

1. Be a doctor for yourself
I don't say to do not trust a doctors, but in fact there are few without knowlegde and qualifications (well, we all like to cheat at exam. Medicine students aren't diffrent...). Why should you know at least basic of medical knowlegde?
Firstly, because you need to know serious symphtoms of deseases. Doctors just won't knock on your doors and said that you are ill. And in other side, to do not waist time at clinics.
And secondly, because when you will not have an access to uncle google, something bad could happend. And somethimes you just will not know what you should write to him.

2.Be a lawyer for yourself

Yeah, maybe all these paragraphs and articles aren't very interesting but remember this rule: Nobody ask you if you know the law. After accident there's nothing like "I didn't know..." Who cares. You were obligated, so now pay. Or stay in jail.
And law knowlegde is great advantage while more or less comfortable conversations with police and other goverment representatives. Without that they can force you to say too much before your true lair lawyer will come.

3.Be a psychotherapist for yourself

I mean, keep focus on things in your head and soul, because there's nobody who knows you better than yourself. You have to know how to deal with stress and what is the best for you when you get angry or depressed. It also good to know, what are the main symphtoms of mental deseases and when it is just reaction for stress situation and when you have neurosis. But be careful and don't make yourself believe that you are combination of neurosis, depresion and schisophrenic person.

4.Be an animator for yourself

Strange, but true, when you're sitting at bus stop and have too much time. A lot of people are bored all the time. Don't be one of them. Try to entertain yourself by mixing up some stories, jokes etc. You would be not afraid to stay alone, as many people still do, so you would be more likely to avoid stupid situation just to spend some time with others. And people who are like animator for themself are usually much better animator for others. That's important, too.
(to be continued)

Once I read something like: "the sims - because nerds want to have some life, too". In fact, it's quite accurate, if you look how people play in this game.

They do this, because they cannot make something in real life and of course that kind of compensation is good only for short time - then they can catch a depression or stop to want something in real life, just sacrifice all their time and energy into game.

That's really sad and...pathetic. Yeah, pathetic. We shouldn't comfort people with addictions- they have to take it serious and DO something, not to make another excuses and feel sorry of themself. It's pathetic. I love Tim Minchin song "Fat Children". When everybody try to keep some political correctness, he said it very simple what we should say - just listen.

And something about Sims - I find this game not only as a compensation for sad people - but also as one of the greatest tool for writers. Really, it's like made your imagine world less imagine - it help clean everything and remember about details and also it gives some ideas. You know, you made a character, even only appearence and you don't have to worry that it will fly away of your minds. Imagine can be really illusive. This is the reason why I would like to spend this 50 zloty on allegro to buy it, and probably I will.

And of course, I still love idea of this game - this multiplies of options, opportunity to made your own missions and never-ending stories...

So this times no flyswat for Sims creators and a just a few for unproductive players.

P.S.: Curiosity on diffrent subject - music. You probably heard something called commonly: 'Papa Americano' thousand times, even if you don't like this kind of music - it's regular radio song. For those who can't stand house, but like this italian beginning I reccomend "tu vuò fà l'americano" especially by Fiorello & Matt Damon & Jude Law from "Talented Mr. Ripley". It was used as a sample. Very nice I think. Much more interesting than Yolanda's record.

And "fa fa l'americano", not "papa americano", by the way.

Day-after after-party

New year. Everybody loves first five hours of this day. But then, after ten hours of sleep we start to think..or sleep again.

You know, I love my new year's nights from past - when I was like 9-10 year old kid. I spent this time with my brother and grandma, and I usually wrote some kind of summary and of course wishes list. Then I went to church to talk with God personally (heh, old times) and sing Te Deum Laudamus. That was sort of a magic, especially with fireworks, that meant something unusual in these times, not like now - yeah, nice but not very exiciting.

My last few New Years are diffrent. Neither I've done some kind of list nor belived in God. Hours of preparations - dress, make-up, buying food and that kind of stuff - is quite annoying. Then party, a lots of laugh, talking about unnecesary serious subject - and New Year ends.
I woke up three hours ago and now it's 6 p.m. I'm listening Rasputin by Boney M. You know, this guy Rasputin was quite unique - he could deal deep religion and knowledge with sharp party-life.
I can't.
So flyswat today. Too much alcohol and too less thinking.

Ra Ra Rasputin...
