About places and people
Stories and experiences from all over the world
Hi there
everybody. Long time no hear no see no write.It just so happened that I got stuck with the old crowd out there in Skopje and slowly decided to find out whether my dismal performance here will replicate out there. Well, it did not although for a short while I faked I was there with them, then sort of said I got a scholarship in France and then eventually admitted I was in the Low Lands but they did not care. Got a huge readership out there and it is a different feeling.
But then, eventually, I live here in Amstelveen and I missed my Volkskrantblog. So, let me see whether I can do the both worlds.
Now, this is my today's post. Totally off/the big topics. Awful news. Plenty of time to catch up with those falling markets and sooting stars. I want to tell you about a new singer out there.
She has a sort of a voluminous organ and singing is not refined in the sense of being rebellious but she, that is Kristina Arnaudova, sounds mighty. Well, she sound mighty and fresh to the largest blogging community in the country and I thought you may be interested to hear her. Thus, here is her song HAUNTING MY HEART. Will be nice if you wrote what do you think about her.
She will be elated to have a chance to perform here.
AND HERE ARE THE WORDS OF THE SONG:
Haunting My Heart
Descending decisions.. at every turn in the road..
Forever defending.. some hand-me down spiritual code..
Is faith fed by fear, dear.. Could we be left without right..
Do you promise to meet me here..
to guide me through the tunnel of light..
and save me from night…
It always comes easy.. and it always leaves hard..
The shadows of “should be”..
Are the ghosts haunting my heart..
You know it ain’t easy.. to travel this far..
The shadows of “could be”..
Are the ghosts that live in the dark..
Haunting my heart…
Impending derision, with every risk that we take..
Devine imprecision, in every love that we make..
If pain pays the toll into heaven, then pleasure’s just a free ride to hell..
If deadly sins number seven, number eight must have some story to tell..
It always comes easy.. and it always leaves hard..
The shadows of “should be”..
Are the ghosts haunting my heart..
You know it ain’t easy.. to travel this far..
The shadows of “could be”..
Are the ghosts that live in the dark..
Haunting my heart…

Grozdan Popov's New Series: Musing Over Public Faces
Well, this is
just the beginning of an idea, pretty entangled right now, very
private, almost intimate. It is about my personal feelings arising
from a visual contact with faces of public figures by proxy. I
mean, this is sort of reflections triggered by published pictures
of various people without or definitely before
reading a word about their characters. Say, so far there are these
accounts about Giovanni Accongiagioco Elkann, of the Agnelli
family; Howard Stern, the King of All Media in the USA;
Barack Obama, possibly the next US President; Toshihiko
Fukui, governor of the Bank of Japan; Patricia Joan
Remak, former Dutch MP, now convict; Peter Hartz, VW and
Germany's super crook; Chad Hurley, co-establisher of
YouTube; Nobuyoki Oneida, CFO of Sony Corporation;
Florentine Rost van Tonningen, Dutch Black Widow I'll

Neque porro
quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur,
adipisci velit Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia
dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit I think Turkey deserves
every possible argument supporting its impressive drive to full EU
membership. This link takes you to a selection of my articles on
Turkey and related issues. There are numerous posts entered
that qualify under the term Macedonia . Some of them retain
their intrinsic value, others are reminders of once acute issues.
This link takes you to a full list of the entries
related to Macedonia and its people.
Turkey Now Festival
There is this
multi-faceted Turkey Now" festival in earnest preparation
going on all over town these days. If you read Het Parool
you would know this already. There will be, just after St.
Valentine Day, at least 20 events and one of the highlights is a
jazz concert that you can sample here: the
well known Ayse Tutuncu Trio but other stuff as well. So, it
will be fun. Some original "classic" Turkish music as well. More
information? Hit here then. One of the organizers is
Stichting
Kulsan established by the Turkish community in the Netherlands
in 1987 for promotion of the culture. It works hand-in-hand with
the Istanbul
Foundation for Culture and arts. There will be music, theatre
shows, dance and film. This is yet another Istanbul events link
A JOKE A DAY KEEPS THE BLUES AWAY
Tom, a
handsome dude, walked into a sports bar around 9:58 PM. He sat down
next to a blonde at the bar and stared up at the TV. The 10:00 news
was on. The news crew was covering a story of a man on ledge of a
large building preparing to jump. The blonde looked at Tom and
said, -Do you think he'll jump? Tom says, -You know, I bet he'll
jump. The blonde replied, -Well, I bet he won't. Tom placed a $20
bill on the bar and said, -You're on!" Just as the blonde placed
her money on the bar, the guy on the ledge did a swan dive off the
building, falling to his death. The blonde was very upset, but
willingly handed her $20 to Tom, saying, -Fair's Fair. Here's your
money. Tom replied, -I can't take your money, I saw this earlier on
the 5 o'clock news and so I knew he would jump. The blonde replied,
-I did too; but I didn't think he'd do it again. Tom took the
money.

Reading
Times
Literary Supplement Is one of my great pleasures. Sometimes I
use the paper sometimes the on-line edition. The topics are
carefully selected and absolutely first class. They are often my
well of inspiration. The TLS enrages me often and I write letters
to the Editor (Tom
Stothard, he also bloggs) who acknowledges their receipt
but throws them in the bin, though I'd prefer the other way round.
He will send you a sample copy for free so that you can check
whether I am right or no.
GLOBETROTTING
Some of you
may be interested in my impressions from travels around the world.
Just begun developing that site. A bit early for promoting it, but
that is how I tick. This is
your link if you wish to visit. The trips have taken me
over to Africa, Asia, North and South America, Australia and very
much around Europe. The software of that facility counts as
"one country" Lichtenstein with poor Vaduz and the USA with some 30
states (including Hawaii) as "one country" again. By such a count I
have covered paltry 17% of the globe. Which is funny. Navigating
though that site is not as easy as one may expect. But it is
interesting. See for yourselves if you like!

The paths not taken
So, this is
about new places with unknown faces. About longitudes where the sun
casts different shadows and the air is full with new scents. This
is about awakening of memories for fresh beginnings and the comfort
of returning to old fireplaces. Above: The castle atop, typical
architecture, the Roman theatreseen from the
terrace of the best accommodationin Ohrid, Macedonia + + +
DO NOT MISS THIS: 
Believe you
me, I know every single trick from the vaults of the
newly announced Gogan's School of Newsmanship. Travelled
the world on the magic carpet woven from those subtleties, dined
and wined with kings, queens, princes, the lot. Go, hit the road.
Try it! (Left: Daddy with a student) 
THE TURKISH PART OF
CYPRUS will have een feest and I am invited. The man who
will be my host is a University professor who earned his Ph.D. in
economics from Utah, but I think he is nowhere close to the
religion preached out there.
Eureka, Eureka!
After a year
of fun and play we, the bloggers, know that there is a lot
of time, effort and skill poured into the VK. I believe that GJB
and us could chat a bit about a new, commercial, twist to the
individual pages. Since we are a sort of one big family maybe we
should see whether and how we could contribute to the costs of this
facility, gather money for improving it and, doing so, earn a
decent buck individually. The proposal is simple. GJB supplies
those who are interested the price-list for a 300x300 pix slot on
this column, agrees to pay us commission (which he anyways pays to
others) and we contract sponsors who pay directly to VK upon which
VK shells out our part. We as authors do not promote
those sponsors in our posts. There are parties which do not even
know about the VK but may be interested to advertise here for any
reason, especially sponsoring an acquaintance's or friend's hobby
or whatever. To secure that the big-time advertising wizards are
not affected, we, the small fry, would be allowed to bring adds at
least 600 pixels under the ad at the top for which VK gets
money. So, that is it. Simple like Senate Beans Soup. But please click
here and have a say, file your post on the other side. Go there
now. Pleeese!
