I generally am a Grinch. I don't steal Christmases but I am not the most merry of everybody and everything that comes before this day (the crowds, the run for consumerism and so on) don't pair well with

Few shots taken in order to clear my mind and a few words written in order to clear my tongue

… and damn it felt good. There are moments in life when after being in a dark, narrow valley that seemed like a place that you can’t get out of, you find that steep path that takes you out of it and soon,

I hate it when I have to go to my own properties and spend only a short weekend, like I'm going to a very strict hotel and I have to respect the check-in and the check-out. Last weekend I almost didn't

The short story of how I created Ifrim

Sometimes, the blank page waiting to be filled with words is quite a large and powerful monster.

Yesterday was the National Day of Romania, the country I was born in; the country I love; the country I want to die in; the country with so many bastards that disgust me. But hey, it's my country and there's

I don't usually go fishing after the end of October. I don't mind the cold, generally, but on the boat, in those misty mornings, the humidity can reach inside your bones and send those definite shivers

Well... it's been an interesting couple of weeks. All tucked up inside for these 14 days, if it weren't for the symptoms it would've been quite nice. Today was the last day of quarantine and during these

... and because I feel fine, almost, I will not accept to lie in bed all day and play games on the console. SHE wouldn't let me anyway, so between games of chess with a 5 years old, we get to practice

In spite of the fact that October is underway, my daughter (and I) is still enjoying some of the sweetest strawberries of this year. My Babushka took care of this and she planted this year some special

I choose my mates when I go fishing. In this line, there's no room for error, mistake or lack of concentration. I need my partners to: be patient be skilled love to drink be dead punctual I don't ask much,

This has been a special year, I think everybody can agree with that. And to think that it's not yet over, mmmmmmmhm, what a treat. There are so many memes made on the side of the subject of "how bad

I always loved to draw but in my adulthood, I only had little time to practice. I never considered you need talent for this but rather practice. It's almost all about the muscle memory, just like when

The hedgehog is dead. Removing the same hedgehog from the jaws of this 70 kilos idiot prooved to be a difficult task. Both because he wouldn't let it go... after all it was his prey... but also because

I quit Steemit. That's something I had to phrase out since the inception of this article. I'm two weeks into powering down and I have to say that I didn't know that it's such a nice feeling to cash out.

It's hard for the average Romanian Joe to accept that this year he will not be able to spend his summer vacations in Greece without testing all of his travelling family. This may sometimes double the costs

Look at it. It's round, isn't it? I mean, it's no doubts that this thing is a sphere when you get to look at it through the lens of a simple Newtonian telescope. The funny thing about the Moon is that

“Oh, you damn termites! Just you wait that the crisis will hit and then we will see how you will crowd yourself like cattle on this beachfront walkway!” That was me swearing last year, around August, while

...but since "the cat" doesn't speak English, I had to go for the Romanian adapted version. I've been obsessed with this nice swing tune that Disney put in "The Aristocats". Ok, before
