some randomness
You get to hear this question annoyingly often. How are you. And so often you doubt if a question mark/tone is needed. These days it’s just a mere politeness, with so few people who are ready to listen. To really listen.
And to be truthful, you certainly don’t want to make your thoughts audible just to everyone. Normally what you do is just give the usual “I’m good/alright/fine/ok/not bad, thanks/ta. How are you?” in return and continue on minding your own business. Or whatever was that you were doing.
Born to run
A while ago one of my friends asked me if I’m reading any kind of books. I had to face a fact, that for a while (about a year and a little bit more) I haven’t had any kind of so called “book” in my hands, except those multimedia design and communication materials for studies (books and articles about: programming, overall design, business, communication). Basically everything, what was needed to read in the field I’m professionalizing in.
Recently I found a book, which caught not only my mind senses but also eye with it’s cover. I knew that I have to read, think it felt like seeing a first twilight book for a teenage girl. The book is called: “Born to run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen” and was written by Christopher McDougall. Sounds overwhelming doesn’t it?
Procrastination
Or procrasturbation – call it whatever you want.
“The lizard brain adores a deadline that slips, an item that doesn’t ship and most of all, busywork.” – Seth Godin on Modern procrastination.
Blindness
“There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend who was always there for her. She told her boyfriend, ‘If I could only see the World, I will marry you.’
One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend.
He asked her, ‘Now that you can see the world, will you marry Me?’ The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind.
The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn’t expected that, and the thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him.
Her boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her that said:
‘Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before they were yours, they were mine.’ “
Observation: Rise above the physical beauty as it shall not last. What is within is forever young, joyfull and bliss.

After getting to read this story I’ve been carrying it in my heart for a few weeks, it wouldn’t leave me. For reasons unknown. It’s not that it’s a very exceptional story, especially if you’re familiar with P.Coelho and similiar works. Nevertheless it’s a powerful and beautiful story that draws a strong visual image in your head and, well, locks you in!
I’m glad to share it with you.

Your business cards
First of all how serious I should write about it?
The more you spread your branches and evolve in the industry that provides learning, working and evolving capabilities, the more paths you have to check whilst working on something, which obviously involves business. I’m not sure if I expressed it in the right way or words, but what I was trying to say, was that you need some artifacts for example business cards to remind people that you’re still somewhere around and that they can contact you whenever they need something.
Doesn’t matter what you do, you can be a plumber super mario, taxi driver with a funny mustache, freelance pilot or just a business man in general, still that one piece of paper can help in a lot of different ways, maybe even change your life (uuuu, sounds interesting doesn’t it?).
Baltoji
Ją iš pietų pusės glamonėja šiltas jūros vėjas, o iš šiaurės – gaivina dar aukštesnių kalnų miškų vėsa.
Vyras apie ją kalba, jog ji turi viską savyje, ko reikia šiame gyvenime: žavesio, tragizmo, nuovargio… Ji supranta, kad žmonėms, tokiems kaip ji, istorijoje nėra vietos. Ji dažnai sako, jog žmonės sugedo, bjaurybėse skendi.
The 51st State of America… well that’s what I was told.
As you know by now, V and I are trippin to and now in Lithuania! It’s my first time in Eastern Europe!
What has happened on our adventure so far:
V and I spent first phase of the trip in Copenhagen, specifically: Christiania and of course hotel room, why? maybe because it was freakishly cold outside – my little baby toe is still waiting to be revived from it’s cold coma. Plus a little bit of snow, which was not that bad.
